Glenn West's questions to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc (PBH) leadership • Q1 2026
Question
Glenn West from William Blair asked for more detail on the cadence of the Clear Eyes supply recovery in the second half, specifically the timing between Q3 and Q4. He also questioned the company's capital allocation strategy moving forward, given the cash purchase of Pillar five and continued share repurchases.
Answer
CFO & COO Christine Sacco clarified that the step-up in Clear Eyes supply will be significant in both Q3 and Q4, not just back-half loaded into the fourth quarter. Chairman, President & CEO Ron Lombardi added that a full recovery will extend into fiscal 2027. VP of IR & Treasury Phil Terpolilli reiterated that the capital allocation waterfall remains unchanged, prioritizing M&A, share repurchases, and debt reduction, supported by strong expected free cash flow.
