Church & Dwight delivered 5.1% organic sales growth in the third quarter, primarily driven by higher volume, up 4.6%. Volume growth, cost savings, favorable mix, and tariff refunds offset raw material and transportation cost inflation, and adjusted operating margin rose 210 basis points to 18.2%.
We think Church could boost sales by expanding the distribution of recently acquired TheraBreath mouthwash, Hero pimple patches, and Touchland hand sanitizers in the US and abroad.
An intensifying promotional environment across the industry could ensue with the aim of boosting volumes, dampening sales and gross margins.
