Provides Outlook for FY'25

Kenvue Inc. (NYSE:KVUE), today announced financial results for the full year and fiscal fourth quarter ended December 29, 2024.

"We delivered on our 2024 profit commitments despite headwinds that resulted in softer than expected sales growth and we enter 2025 as a more competitive company with stronger foundations," said Thibaut Mongon, Chief Executive Officer. "We remain focused on leveraging our increased brand investments to accelerate growth and deliver long-term value creation centered around profitable growth, durable cash flow generation, and disciplined capital allocation."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net Sales and Organic Sales

Fourth quarter Net sales decreased 0.1%, reflecting Organic sales¹ growth of 1.7% and a foreign currency headwind of 1.8%. Organic sales growth was driven by 1.0% value realization (price and mix) and 0.7% volume growth.

Value realization was favorable across each segment and was primarily driven by price actions taken in 2024. Volume growth in both Skin Health and Beauty and Self Care was partially offset by a decline in Essential Health. In Self Care, weak incidences of cold, cough & flu led to a significant decline in the pediatric pain franchise. In addition, go-to-market disruption in Asia Pacific impacted the Company's results, with an outsized impact on Essential Health.

Gross Profit Margin and Operating Income Margin

Fourth quarter Gross profit margin expanded 80 basis points to 56.5% from 55.7% in the prior year period, as Separation-related costs and amortization of intangible assets declined year-over-year. Adjusted gross profit margin¹ decreased 80 basis points to 58.7% from 59.5% in the prior year period, which included non-recurring separation related benefits. The year-over-year change in both measures also reflects the impact from net input cost inflation and unfavorable mix, as well as the benefit from productivity gains and value realization.

Fourth quarter Operating income margin was 13.2% vs 12.5% in the prior year period. Fourth quarter Adjusted operating income margin¹ was 19.2% vs 21.8% in the prior year period. The year-over-year changes in Operating income margin and Adjusted operating income margin reflect the year-over-year change in Gross profit margin and Adjusted gross profit margin, respectively, as well as an increase in brand investment and the benefit from savings from Our Vue Forward.

Interest Expense, Net and Taxes

Fourth quarter Interest expense, net was $95 million vs $96 million in the prior year period.

The fourth quarter Effective tax rate was 15.3% vs 8.4% in the prior year period. The Adjusted effective tax rate¹was 17.7% vs 15.8% in the prior year period. Both measures were driven by changes to the jurisdictional mix of income and reduced benefits derived from the separation from our former parent company offset by remeasurement of the Company's deferred taxes and the release of a valuation allowance.

Net Income Per Share ("Earnings Per Share")

Fourth quarter Diluted earnings per share were $0.15 vs $0.17 in the prior year period and Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ were $0.26 vs $0.31 in the prior year period.

Full Year 2024 Financial Results

Net Sales and Organic Sales

Full year 2024 Net sales increased 0.1%, reflecting Organic sales growth of 1.5% and foreign currency headwind of 1.4%. Organic sales growth was driven by 2.7% value realization, partially offset by 1.2% volume decline.

Value realization was favorable across each segment and was driven by a combination of carry-over pricing from 2023 and price actions taken in 2024. The volume decline was driven by Skin Health and Beauty and Self Care, which offset slight volume growth in Essential Health.

Gross Profit Margin and Operating Income Margin

Full year 2024 Gross profit margin expanded 200 basis points to 58.0% from 56.0% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit margin also expanded 200 basis points to 60.4% from 58.4% in the prior year period. The year-over-year improvement in both measures primarily reflects productivity gains attributable to our global supply chain efficiency initiatives and benefits from value realization.

Full year 2024 Operating income margin was 11.9% vs 16.3% in the prior year period, with the current year figure impacted by non-cash charges related to asset impairments. Full year 2024 Adjusted operating income margin was 21.5% vs 22.4% in the prior year period. The year-over-year change in both measures reflects the impact of higher brand investment, which more than offset the benefit from Gross profit margin expansion and savings from Our Vue Forward.

Interest Expense, Net and Taxes

Full year 2024 Interest expense, net was $378 million vs $250 million in the prior year period.

Full year Effective tax rate was 27.2% vs 24.0% in the prior year period. The Adjusted effective tax ratewas 25.5% vs 23.4% in the prior year period. Both measures were driven by changes to the jurisdictional mix of income and reduced benefits derived from the separation from our former parent company offset by remeasurement of the Company's deferred taxes and the release of a valuation allowance.

Net Income Per Share ("Earnings Per Share")

Full year 2024 Diluted earnings per share were $0.54 vs $0.90 in the prior year period and Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.14 vs $1.29 in the prior year period.

2025 Outlook

"As Kenvue enters our next chapter, we expect to accelerate performance throughout the year, while navigating the dynamic external environment contemplated within our outlook," said Paul Ruh, Chief Financial Officer. "We expect to drive further productivity and operational efficiency gains, which will fund our planned increase in brand investments, positioning us to grow adjusted operating margin for the year."

Based on current spot rates, Kenvue initiated the following outlook for Full year 2025. The Company expects:

Net sales change of -1% to +1% year-over-year, with Organic sales growth of +2% to +4% and a ~3% headwind from foreign currency translation.
Adjusted operating income margin improvement year-over-year.
Flat to +2% year-over-year Adjusted diluted earnings per share growth, including a mid-single-digit unfavorable impact from foreign currency.

This outlook does not include any potential impacts from tariffs introduced in 2025.

Kenvue is not able to provide the most directly comparable GAAP measures or reconcile Adjusted operating income margin or Adjusted diluted earnings per share to comparable GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts given the unpredictability of the timing and amounts of discrete items such as foreign exchange, acquisitions, or divestitures.

¹Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP nor do they have any standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way the Company calculates such measures. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to such similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplements to, not substitutes for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management. The Company believes these measures help improve investors' ability to understand the Company's operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company's results with other companies. In addition, the Company believes these measures are also among the primary measures used externally by the Company's investors, analysts, and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in our industry.

Below are definitions and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measures for the non-GAAP measures used in this press release and the related prepared materials and webcast.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share: We define Adjusted diluted earnings per share as Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. Management views this non-GAAP measure as useful to investors as it provides a supplemental measure of the Company's performance over time.

Adjusted EBITDA margin: We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP Net income adjusted for interest, provision for taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for restructuring expenses and operating model optimization initiatives, costs incurred in connection with our establishment as a standalone public company ("Separation-related costs"), conversion of stock-based awards, stock-based awards granted to individuals employed by Kenvue as of October 2, 2023 ("Founder Shares"), impairment charges, the impact of the deferred transfer of certain assets and liabilities from Johnson & Johnson in certain jurisdictions (the "Deferred Markets"), litigation (income) expense, losses on investments, and tax indemnification releases. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of U.S. GAAP Net sales. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental perspective to the Company's operating efficiency over time.

Adjusted effective tax rate: We define Adjusted effective tax rate as U.S. GAAP Effective tax rate adjusted for the tax effects on special item adjustments including amortization of intangible assets, restructuring expenses and operating model optimization initiatives, Separation-related costs, conversion of stock-based awards, Founder Shares, impairment charges other than the Dr.Ci:Labo^® asset impairment, litigation (income) expense, losses on investments, interest income from a related party note, and tax indemnification releases. We also exclude taxes related to the Deferred Markets, taxes related to the Dr.Ci:Labo^® asset impairment charges, certain one-time tax only adjustments which includes the removal of tax effects from the carve-out methodology, and the impact of the interest expense from the debt issuance, which reduced the Company's capacity to utilize foreign tax credits against U.S. foreign source income. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental measure of the Company's performance over time.

Adjusted gross profit margin: We define Adjusted gross profit margin (also referred to as "Adjusted gross margin") as U.S. GAAP Gross profit margin adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, Separation-related costs, conversion of stock-based awards, Founder Shares, and operating model optimization initiatives. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental perspective to the Company's operating efficiency over time.

Adjusted net income: We define Adjusted net income as U.S. GAAP Net income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, restructuring expenses and operating model optimization initiatives, Separation-related costs, conversion of stock-based awards, Founder Shares, impairment charges, the impact of the Deferred Markets, litigation (income) expense, losses on investments, interest income from a related party note, tax indemnification releases, and their related tax impacts (i.e. special items). Adjusted net income excludes the impact of items that may obscure trends in our underlying performance. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as the Company uses Adjusted net income for strategic decision making, forecasting future results, and evaluating current performance.

Adjusted operating income: We define Adjusted operating income as U.S. GAAP Operating income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, restructuring expenses and operating model optimization initiatives, Separation-related costs, conversion of stock-based awards, Founder Shares, impairment charges, the impact of the Deferred Markets, and litigation (income) expense. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as management uses Adjusted operating income to assess the Company's financial performance.

Adjusted operating income margin: We define Adjusted operating income margin (also referred to as "Adjusted operating margin") as Adjusted operating income as a percentage of U.S. GAAP Net sales. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental perspective to the Company's operating efficiency over time.

Free cash flow: We define Free cash flow as U.S. GAAP Net cash flows from operating activities adjusted for Purchases of property, plant, and equipment. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a view of the Company's liquidity after deducting capital expenditures, which are considered a necessary component of our ongoing operations.

Organic sales: We define Organic sales as U.S. GAAP Net sales excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. We report changes in Organic sales on a period-over-period basis. We previously referred to this non-GAAP financial metric as "Organic growth". Management believes reporting period-over-period changes in Organic sales provides investors with additional, supplemental information that is useful in assessing the Company's results of operations by excluding the impact of certain items that we believe do not directly reflect our underlying operations.

The non-GAAP measures as presented herein have been prepared as if our operations had been conducted independently from Johnson & Johnson prior to May 4, 2023, the date Kenvue's common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange, and therefore they include certain Johnson & Johnson corporate and shared costs allocated to us. Management believes the cost allocations are a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit derived by, us during the periods presented, though the allocations may not be indicative of the actual costs that would have been incurred if we had been operating as a standalone company.
