Company profile

Business mix

  • There are two major sectors: home care (Arm & Hammer, OxiClean, etc.) and personal care (TheraBreath, Hero, Trojan, etc.), with products covering value and high-end positioning.
  • The seven main brands contributed more than 75% of sales and profits, and online sales increased from 2% in 2016 to about 25%, reflecting the agility of channel transformation.

Current key questions

  • Although the gross profit margin increased, the increase in marketing and SG&A expenses caused the adjusted operating profit to remain flat year-on-year (US$302.6 million). Cost control and growth investment need to be balanced.
  • The merger-driven growth strategy has brought high-growth brands (such as Touchland, Miss Mouth), but whether integration and expansion can continue to generate synergy is the key.
  • When the company sets medium- and long-term goals (such as Arm & Hammer revenue increasing from 2 billion to 3 billion U.S. dollars and international business doubling), it needs to pay attention to the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations and changes in consumption power on the achievement of goals.
