The Company reports and forecasts results on a GAAP and "Non-GAAP" basis, and has reconciled Non-GAAP results and outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures later in this release. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a more detailed explanation, including definitions of various Non-GAAP terms used in this release.

All comparisons used in this release are with the same period in the prior fiscal year unless otherwise stated.

"We ended fiscal year 2016 with solid fourth quarter results, growing organic net sales in the quarter and the year, driven by growth in Wet Shave and Sun and Skin Care. We are pleased to have exceeded the sales, adjusted EPS, and operational objectives that we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year," said David Hatfield, Edgewell's President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board. "I want to thank all of our Edgewell colleagues around the world for that accomplishment and for their dedication and hard work during a very complex transition year." Mr. Hatfield continued, "We now move into the next phase for Edgewell, one where the strategy and the building blocks are in place to drive sustained performance on both the top and bottom line. We're excited about the organization we have in place, the products we have in the marketplace and the innovation in our pipeline. Although we recognize the tough competitive environment, we are confident that we can deliver results that are in line with the objectives of our long term financial algorithm in 2017."

Fiscal 4Q 2016 Operating Results (Unaudited)

Net sales were $610.6 million in the quarter, an increase of 9.0%. Organic net sales increased 9.2%, driven by growth in all four segments. North America net sales were up 8.4%, with growth across all segments. International (everything outside North America) net sales were up 14.2%, or 11.0% on an organic basis, driven by Wet Shave, with good performance in Asia, and Sun and Skin Care in Asia and Latin America.

Gross margin was $310.1 million, or 50.8% of net sales, representing a 270 basis point improvement over the prior year quarter. The gross margin increase was primarily due to high levels of promotional spending in the prior year quarter and lower material costs in the current year quarter, which was partly offset by higher start-up costs related to the Feminine Care production consolidation into the U.S. plant.

Advertising and sales promotion expense ("A&P") was $82.6 million, or 13.5% of net sales, down from prior year A&P of $95.7 million, or 17.1% of net sales. The majority of the decline was in the Wet Shave segment, as the prior year reflected higher expense related to Hydro Silk® in North America. A&P for the Sun and Skin Care segment was also down versus the year ago quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") was $107.8 million, or 17.7% of net sales, including $3.6 million of intangibles amortization, compared to $123.5 million, or 22.0% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. Excluding $30.1 million in prior year charges related to the spin-off of the Company's Household Products business in July 2015, SG&A as a percent of net sales increased 100 basis points over the prior year quarter. This increase was driven by higher spending in strategic growth projects, IT projects and other corporate costs, as well as increased compensation expense, including incentive compensation.

We incurred a $6.5 million non-cash asset intangibles impairment charge during the quarter in connection with our annual impairment testing.

The Company recorded pre-tax restructuring expense of $9.4 million ($1.7 million in Cost of goods sold and $7.7 million in Restructuring charges) compared to $6.3 million in the prior year quarter.

Other expense (income), net was an expense of $2.0 million during the quarter compared to income of $3.5 million in the prior year quarter. The change reflects the impact of foreign currency hedging contract losses, particularly related to the Japanese Yen, and revaluation losses on nonfunctional currency balance sheet exposures.

The effective tax rate for the year ended September 30, 2016 was 18.7% as compared to 35.4% in the prior year. The adjusted 2016 full year effective tax rate was 23.1% as compared to the prior year rate of 23.2%. The 2015 full year adjusted tax rate was favorably impacted by a large allocation of U.S. interest expense and corporate overheads associated with supporting the Company's former Household Products business that are not reported in discontinued operations. The 2016 full year adjusted tax rate includes a favorable mix of earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions and positive adjustments to prior year tax accruals.

Net earnings in the quarter were $52.2 million, compared to a net loss of $219.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in net earnings was primarily related to the impact of an intangibles impairment charge and higher costs related to the spin-off in the prior year quarter, and to higher segment profit in the current year quarter. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $119.4 million, an increase of $36.4 million versus fourth quarter 2015 Adjusted EBITDA of $83.0 million.

GAAP Diluted EPS was $0.88 in the quarter as compared to a loss of $3.57 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EPS for the quarter was $1.06, compared to $0.64 in the prior year quarter.

Fiscal 4Q 2016 Operating Segment Results (Unaudited)

Wet Shave (Men's Systems, Women's Systems, Disposables, Shave Preps)
Wet Shave net sales increased $33.1 million, or 9.2%. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic net sales increased $26.4 million, or 7.4%. North America drove the majority of the increase, due in large part to the high level of promotional spend in the prior year quarter related to coupons and trade spending. International growth was driven by Hydro® sales in Asia and Women's systems performance in EMEA. Wet Shave segment profit increased $38.2 million. On an organic basis, Wet Shave segment profit increased $30.9 million. The increase in profit was driven primarily by lower promotional spending, favorable costs, and lower A&P spend.

Sun and Skin Care (Sun Care, Wipes, Gloves)
Sun and Skin Care net sales increased $11.8 million, or 17.9%. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic net sales increased $12.0 million, or 18.2%, driven by growth of Banana Boat® and Hawaiian Tropic® in both North America and International. Growth was driven by higher volumes due to category growth versus a year ago. Sun and Skin Care segment profit increased $9.6 million. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic segment profit improved $9.7 million, driven by higher volumes, favorable price mix, lower product costs and reduced A&P spend.

Feminine Care (Tampons, Pads, Liners)
Feminine Care net sales increased $11.0 million, or 11.4%. Growth was largely driven by lower promotional spending, which more than offset lower volumes this quarter. Feminine Care segment profit decreased $1.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to start-up costs related to the production consolidation into the U.S. plant and slightly lower volumes, which offset the benefit from the lower promotional spend.

All Other (Infant Care, all other brands)
All Other net sales decreased $5.4 million, or 13.8%. Excluding the impact of currency movements and the sale of the Industrial blade business a year ago, organic net sales increased $2.1 million, or 5.3%, with growth in Diaper Genie®, slightly offset by lower volumes in infant cups and bottles. All Other segment profit increased $1.6 million.

Fiscal 2016 Operating Results (Unaudited)

Net sales were $2,362.0 million in fiscal 2016, a decrease of 2.4%. Organic net sales increased 1.4%, including an approximate $34.0 million, or 140 basis point, negative impact from international go-to-market changes. From a geographic perspective, North America organic net sales increased 1.7%, and International organic net sales increased 1.1%, or 5.0% on an underlying basis. From a segment perspective, organic net sales increased 1.8% for Wet Shave, and 4.6% for Sun and Skin Care. Organic net sales decreased 1.8% for Feminine Care and 1.2% for All Other.

Gross margin was $1,159.9 million, or 49.1% of net sales, representing a 20 basis point increase over the prior year, including a 10 basis point benefit from currency.

Net earnings in fiscal 2016 were $178.7 million, compared to a net loss of $275.3 million in fiscal 2015. The increase in earnings was primarily related to the prior year impact of an intangibles impairment charge, the Venezuela deconsolidation, and spin-related charges. Fiscal 2016 Adjusted EBITDA was $440.1 million versus fiscal 2015 Normalized EBITDA of $462.2 million. Year-over-year segment profit growth was more than offset by $7.0 million of unfavorable foreign currency, $11.6 million from the impact of Venezuela and Industrial, and $15 million in Other expense (income), net. The change in Other expense (income), net was driven by foreign currency hedging activity, which was in an income position in fiscal 2015 but changed to a loss position in fiscal 2016, in large part due to the strengthening of the Japanese Yen.

GAAP Diluted EPS was $2.99 in fiscal 2016 as compared to a loss of $4.44 in fiscal 2015. Adjusted EPS for the year was $3.57, compared to $2.80 in the prior year.

Net cash from operating activities was $176.4 million for fiscal 2016. During fiscal 2016, the Company made a discretionary contribution of $100.5 million to one of its international pension plans, and repurchased 2.5 million shares for $196.6 million.

Adjusted working capital as a percent of net sales was 16.1% at September 30, 2016, versus 17.5% as of September 30, 2015. The 140 basis point improvement was driven by improved days payable outstanding and days in inventory. Adjusted working capital continues to reflect a higher level of inventory in Feminine Care, which is expected to return to normal levels as the Company completes the consolidation of Feminine Care manufacturing in the U.S.

On October 20, 2016, the Company terminated its commitments under its Netherlands revolving credit facility and repaid all outstanding loans and other obligations in full, in the amount of approximately $277 million.

On November 1, 2016, the Company announced that it had acquired the outstanding shares of Bulldog Skincare Holdings Limited, a U.K. based men's grooming and skincare products company. The acquisition was financed through available foreign cash.

Full Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Outlook

For fiscal 2017, the Company estimates that net sales will increase by low single digits, with no impact from currency, based on current exchange rates (as of November 2, 2016), and an approximately 40 basis point benefit from the Bulldog acquisition.

The GAAP EPS outlook is estimated to be in the range of $3.60 - $3.80. Adjusted EPS is estimated to be in the range of $3.80 - $4.00. Adjusted operating income margin is anticipated to expand by at least 50 basis points. The impact from the acquisition of Bulldog is expected to be neutral to EPS in 2017. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year is estimated to be in the range of 27% to 28%.

The full-year estimate for restructuring related costs is $15 to $20 million for fiscal 2017. Incremental restructuring savings are expected to be approximately $20 to $25 million in fiscal 2017 and an additional $25 million in fiscal 2018.

The Company anticipates that fiscal 2017 Free Cash Flow will exceed 100% of net earnings.

As part of the Company's strategy to drive systematic cost reduction, the Zero Based Spend (ZBS) initiative was announced last quarter. Based on initial projections, ZBS is anticipated to drive $10 to $15 million in savings (net of implementation expense) in fiscal 2017, primarily in the second half of the year, and an additional $25 to $30 million in savings in fiscal 2018.

In fiscal 2017, we anticipate that sales and earnings growth will not be uniform by quarter, largely due to the timing of product launches and A&P phasing. In particular, fiscal first quarter net sales are anticipated to be flat and segment profit is anticipated to be lower than in the prior year quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. While the Company reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"), this discussion also includes Non-GAAP measures. These Non-GAAP measures are referred to as "adjusted" or "organic" and exclude expenses associated with the Venezuela deconsolidation charge, the sale of the Industrial business, spin costs, restructuring charges, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and cost of early debt retirements. Reconciliations of the Company's Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations of measures related to the Company's fiscal 2017 financial outlook, are included within the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included with this release.

This Non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses this Non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believes it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. Given the significant one-time events that took place during fiscal 2016 and 2015, most prominently the spin-off of the Household Products business and the resulting go-to-market impacts, the deconsolidation of the Company's Venezuela operations and the sale of the Industrial business, the Company views the use of Non-GAAP measures that take into account the impact of these unique events as particularly valuable in understanding the Company's underlying operational results and providing insights into future performance.

The information can also be used to perform analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by the types of items that are excluded. This Non-GAAP information is a component in determining management's incentive compensation. Finally, the Company believes this information provides a higher degree of transparency. The following provides additional detail on the Company's Non-GAAP measures.


    --  The Company analyzes its net revenue and segment profit on an organic
        basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods.
        Organic net sales and organic segment profit exclude the impact of
        changes in foreign currency, the impact of acquisitions and dispositions
        (including the results of the Industrial business) and the
        period-over-period change resulting from the deconsolidation of the
        Company's Venezuela operations. Underlying net sales represents organic
        net sales adjusted for international go-to-market impacts, as defined
        below. This information is provided because these fluctuations can
        distort the underlying change in net sales and segment profit either
        positively or negatively.
    --  To compete more effectively as an independent company, the Company has
        increased its use of third-party distributors and wholesalers, impacting
        sales and gross margin, and has decreased or eliminated its business
        operations in certain countries, impacting SG&A, consistent with its
        international go-to-market strategy. Within this press release the
        Company discusses go-to-market impacts, which reflect its best estimate
        on the impact of these international go-to-market changes and exits, and
        represent the year-over-year change in those markets. The Company
        believes it has realized the majority of the impact from these changes
        in the first three quarters of fiscal 2016.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before income taxes, net interest
        expense, depreciation and amortization and excludes items such as
        impairment charges, the Venezuela deconsolidation charge, spin costs,
        restructuring charges and the sale of the Industrial business.
    --  Historical results on a continuing operations basis include certain
        costs associated with supporting the Company's former Household Products
        business that are not reported in discontinued operations. These costs
        affect SG&A, interest expense, spin costs, restructuring and tax. As a
        result, EPS and EBITDA on both a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis for this
        quarter and fiscal year are not comparable to the prior year, and are
        not comparable for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2016. To
        address this, the Company has provided Normalized EBITDA, which adjusts
        corporate SG&A expenses to reflect the Company's estimated full-year run
        rate. Normalized EBITDA is presented to provide a basis for comparing to
        future performance. A reconciliation of Fiscal 2015 Consolidated
        Statement of Earnings and Normalized EBITDA by quarter was announced in
        a Form 8-K furnished on December 1, 2015, and can be found on the
        Company's website www.edgewell.com, under "Investors," and "Financial
        Reports," "Key Statistics" tabs or by using the following link:
        http://ir.edgewell.com/financial-reports/key-statistics
    --  Adjusted operating income is defined as earnings from continuing
        operations before income taxes, interest expense associated with debt,
        other expense (income), net, and excludes items such as impairment
        charges, spin costs, restructuring charges and the sale of the
        Industrial business.
    --  Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share excluding items
        such as impairment charges, the Venezuela deconsolidation charge, spin
        costs, restructuring charges, the sale of the Industrial business, cost
        of early debt retirements and the related tax effects of these items.
    --  The Adjusted effective tax rate is defined as the effective tax rate
        excluding impairment charges, the Venezuela deconsolidation charge, spin
        costs, restructuring charges, the sale of the Industrial business, cost
        of early debt retirements and the related tax effects of these items.
    --  Adjusted working capital is defined as receivables, less trade
        allowances in accrued liabilities, plus inventories, less accounts
        payable, and is calculated using an average of the trailing four-quarter
        end balances. Adjusted working capital also excludes amounts related to
        the Household Products business.
    --  Free cash flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities
        less capital expenditures. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free
        cash flow as a percentage of net earnings.

                     accounting guidance during the
                     first quarter of fiscal 2016 which
                     required all deferred income tax
                     assets and liabilities to be
                     classified as non-current,
                     resulting in reductions to Other
                     current assets, Other current
                     liabilities and Deferred income
                     tax liabilities of $86.3, $0.7 and
                     $76.2, respectively, and an
                     increase in Other assets of $9.4
                     as of September 30, 2016.  The
                     prospective adoption of the new
                     guidance had no impact on the
                     balance sheet as of September 30,
                     2015.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
                        STATEMENTS

        (unaudited, in millions, except per share
                          data)


    Note 1 - Segments


               The Company conducts its business in
                the following four segments: Wet
                Shave, Sun and Skin Care, Feminine
                Care and All Other.  Segment
                performance is evaluated based on
                segment profit, exclusive of general
                corporate expenses, share-based
                compensation costs, restructuring
                charges, spin costs, the Venezuela
                deconsolidation charge, the sale of
                the Industrial business, cost of
                early debt retirements, and
                amortization and impairment of
                intangible assets.  Financial items,
                such as interest income and expense,
                are managed on a global basis at the
                corporate level.  The exclusion of
                such charges from segment results
                reflects management's view on how it
                evaluates segment performance.


               On July 1, 2015, the Company
                completed the separation of its
                Household Products business into a
                separate publicly-traded company
                (the "Spin" or the "Separation").
                The historical financial results of
                the Company's Household Products
                business are presented as
                discontinued operations on the
                Condensed Consolidated Statements of
                Earnings.  The prior year Condensed
                Consolidated Statements of Cash
                Flows has not been adjusted to
                reflect the effect of the
                Separation.  Historical results on a
                continuing operations basis include
                certain costs associated with
                supporting the Household Products
                business that were not reported in
                discontinued operations.

                     technology costs are considered part of
                     the total project costs incurred for the
                     restructuring project.


    Note 2 - GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations


                      Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the average number of common shares
                       outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the
                       weighted-average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation,
                       adjusted for the dilutive effect of share options and restricted stock equivalent
                       ("RSE") awards.


                       The following table provides a reconciliation of Net earnings (loss) from continuing
                       operations and Net earnings (loss) per diluted share ("EPS") to Adjusted net earnings
                       and Adjusted EPS, which are Non-GAAP measures.

                  % of net sales (5)                        16.1%                                                         16.0%                                         17.5%



    (1)              Days sales outstanding is
                     calculated using net sales for
                     the trailing four-quarter
                     period.  Days in inventory and
                     days payable outstanding are
                     calculated using cost of
                     products sold for the trailing
                     four-quarter period.  Both net
                     sales and cost of products sold
                     for the trailing four-quarter
                     period exclude amounts related
                     to the Household Products
                     business.


    (2)              Amounts are calculated using an
                     average of the four-quarter
                     end balances for each working
                     capital component.  As such,
                     the average for each period
                     includes amounts related to the
                     Household Products business,
                     which are being excluded from
                     the calculation.


    (3)              Trade allowances are recorded as
                     a reduction of net sales per
                     GAAP and reported in accrued
                     expenses on the Condensed
                     Consolidated Balance Sheets.


    (4)              Adjusted working capital is
                     defined as receivables (less
                     trade allowance in accrued
                     liabilities), plus inventories,
                     less accounts payable.  Average
                     adjusted working capital is
                     calculated using an average of
                     the four-quarter end balances
                     for each working capital
                     component as of September 30,
                     2016, June 30, 2016 and
                     September 30, 2015,
                     respectively.


    (5)              Average adjusted working capital
                     divided by trailing four-
                     quarter net sales.
