Energizer shares drop as guidance falls short of expectations

Investing.com - Energizer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:ENR) reported second-quarter earnings on Tuesday that met analyst estimates, but shares fell 3.7% as the company’s guidance for the upcoming quarter and full year came in below expectations.

The battery and lighting products manufacturer posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.67, in line with analyst projections.

Revenue for the quarter was $662.9 million, slightly below the consensus estimate of $670.89 million but up 1.4% YoY on an organic basis. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of organic revenue growth for Energizer.

However, the company’s outlook disappointed investors. For the third quarter, Energizer expects adjusted EPS of $0.55 to $0.65, well below the analyst consensus of $0.84.

For fiscal year 2025, the company forecasts adjusted EPS of $3.30 to $3.50, lower than the $3.55 analysts were anticipating.

Energizer now expects fiscal 2025 organic net sales to be flat to up 2%, with adjusted EBITDA projected between $610 million and $630 million.

The company noted that while it has broadly offset the direct impacts of tariffs through sourcing shifts and pricing, economic uncertainty is affecting consumer demand in its categories.

Despite the challenging outlook, Energizer reported a 30 basis point improvement in adjusted gross margin, which reached 40.8% for the quarter.
