Spectrum Brands Holdings Reports Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results

•Second Quarter Net Sales Increased 4.9% and Organic Net Sales Excluding Foreign Exchange Increased 1.5%

•Second Quarter Net Income From Continuing Operations of $22.5 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $84.0 Million Increased by $20.7 Million and $12.7 Million, Respectively

•Ended Second Quarter with Net Debt Leverage of 1.66x Adjusted EBITDA

•Executed a Strategic Partnership in the Home and Personal Care Segment, Designed to Accelerate Long Term Growth of the Business

•Updating Fiscal 2026 Framework, Continue to Expect Net Sales to be Flat to Up Low Single Digits and Approximately 50% Conversion of Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Free Cash Flow; Adjusted EBITDA is Now Expected to be Up Low to Mid Single Digits

Middleton, WI, May 7, 2026 - Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB; “Spectrum Brands” or the “Company”), a leading global branded consumer products and home essentials company focused on driving innovation and providing exceptional customer service, today reported results from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 ended March 29, 2026.

"We are pleased with our results this quarter, where we returned to top-line growth for the first time since first quarter of fiscal 2025. Our key brands across Global Pet Care and Home & Garden continue to outperform the market driven by strong innovation and distribution gains. In Home & Personal Care, while net sales declined, adjusted EBITDA increased, demonstrating the positive impact of the actions taken over the past year. These results continue to reinforce the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and the strength of our team. Looking forward, while we remain focused on the dynamic macroeconomic environment, our first half results represent meaningful progress for the full fiscal year. We are updating our earnings framework and increasing our Adjusted EBITDA expectation to low to mid single digit growth while maintaining our net sales expectation of flat to low single digit growth in fiscal 26,” said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.

Mr. Maura continued, “on the strategic front, following quarter close, we entered into a partnership with Oaktree Capital Management on our Home & Personal Care business. The transaction includes a strategic $127 million cash investment from Oaktree Capital in the form of preferred equity and debt, and we will continue to own approximately 73% of the Appliances business. Upon closing, which is expected to occur later this month, the HPC subsidiaries will be designated as unrestricted subsidiaries with their own capital structure that is non-recourse to Spectrum Brands Holdings. We believe that a partnership with Oaktree Capital, who has a strong track record in disciplined capital allocation, validates our vision for creating value in our Appliances business through both organic and inorganic growth initiatives. Importantly, this transaction represents a meaningful step in our previously announced strategy of separating the HPC business from our Pet and Home & Garden businesses.”

•Net sales increased 4.9% with an increase in organic net sales of 1.5%, which excludes the impact of $22.9 million of favorable foreign exchange rates. The net sales increase was primarily due to strong performance in Global Pet Care and Home and Garden with market share gains across key brands. External factors including favorable weather and strategic order accelerations by certain retailers also contributed. This was partially offset by consumer demand softness in Home and Personal Care across both North America and Europe.

•Gross profit and margin increased driven by pricing, cost improvement actions, and favorable foreign exchange partially offset by higher trade spend and higher tariff cost.

•Operating income increased due to the increase in gross profit and lower operating expenses.
