What this company does
Edgewell Personal Care Company
Edgewell makes personal care products you might have at home, such as Schick razors, Banana Boat sunscreen, and Playtex tampons. The company's biggest business is wet shaving, which matters because people often need to buy razors and blades repeatedly, creating a steady and predictable source of sales.
How the company got here
Edgewell Personal Care was created in 2015 when the company Energizer Holdings decided to separate its personal care brands from its battery business. This move allowed Edgewell to focus entirely on its portfolio of well-known consumer products. Many of its brands, like Schick and Wilkinson Sword razors, have been around for a very long time, with roots going back over 200 years. Over the years, the company grew by acquiring other popular brands, such as Playtex, Banana Boat, and Hawaiian Tropic, to build the collection of products it sells today. This history of bringing established brands together under one roof is a key part of how Edgewell became a major player in the personal care aisle.
What it actually does
Edgewell makes and sells a variety of products that people use every day for grooming and personal hygiene. You would recognize their brands in the aisles of most major supermarkets and drugstores. The company's products are generally grouped into three main areas: shaving, sun and skin care, and feminine care. They sell these items through a mix of traditional retail stores and a growing online presence. Essentially, Edgewell provides everyday necessities that consumers often buy again and again.
Wet Shave
This is the company's largest business area, making up about half of its sales. It includes everything related to shaving for both men and women, such as razor handles, refillable blades, and disposable razors under brands like Schick and Wilkinson Sword. They also sell shaving creams and gels with familiar names like Edge and Skintimate. This segment makes money by selling not just the initial razor but also the replacement blades that people need to buy repeatedly.
Sun and Skin Care
This part of the business, which accounts for roughly a third of sales, focuses on protecting and caring for your skin. It features popular sunscreen brands like Banana Boat and Hawaiian Tropic, which sell lotions and sprays for sun protection. The segment also includes men's skincare brands like Bulldog and Jack Black, as well as antibacterial hand wipes under the Wet Ones brand. Customers buy these products to protect themselves from the sun or for their daily grooming routines.
Feminine Care
This is a smaller but still significant part of Edgewell's business, representing about 15-20% of its revenue. This segment provides products like tampons, pads, and liners that women purchase regularly. The main brands you would recognize in this category are Playtex, Stayfree, Carefree, and o.b. The business relies on brand loyalty and the consistent need for these essential items.
What management is betting on now
The company's leadership is focused on growing by expanding in popular product areas and making their brands more loved by consumers through new ideas. They are also concentrating on strengthening their online sales, particularly through direct-to-consumer (selling directly to people from their own websites) brands like Billie. Another key priority is to be more efficient in how they run the business to save money, which can then be invested back into growing the company. Management also aims to return value to shareholders through dividends (a portion of profits paid out to investors) and opportunistic share buybacks (when the company buys its own stock to reduce the number of shares available).
