Prestige Brands Holdings,Consumer Healthcare Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1.    Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business
Prestige Brands Holdings,Consumer Healthcare Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company” or “we,” which reference shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to refer to Prestige Brands Holdings,Consumer Healthcare Inc. and all of its direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) is engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter (“OTC”) healthcare and household cleaning products (prior to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment, as discussed in Note 3) to mass merchandisers and drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada), and in Australia and certain other international markets.  Prestige Brands Holdings,Consumer Healthcare Inc. is a holding company with no operations and is also the parent guarantor of the senior credit facility and the senior notes described in Note 8.

Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are considered necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  Our fiscal year ends on March 31st of each year. References in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related notes to a year (e.g., “2018”“2019”) mean our fiscal year ending or ended on March 31st of that year. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 20172018 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 20182019.  These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.2018.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.  

Reclassification
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”("ASU") 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718),2017-07, we have reclassified cash flows on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flowsnet periodic benefit costs related to excess tax benefitsour pension plans from a financing activitygeneral and administrative expense to an operating activity for all periods presented.other (income) expense. The impact of thethis reclassification on our Financial Statementsfinancial statements was not material.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the selling price is fixed or determinable, (iii) the product has been shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  We have determined that these criteria are met and the transfer of the risk of loss generally occurs when the product is received by the customer, and, accordingly, we recognize revenue at that time.  Provisions are made for estimated discounts related to customer payment terms and estimated product returns at the time of sale based on our historical experience.

As is customary in the consumer products industry, we participate in the promotional programs of our customers to enhance the sale of our products.  The cost of these promotional programs varies based on the actual number of units sold during a finite period of time.  These promotional programs consist of direct-to-consumer incentives, such as coupons and temporary price reductions, as well as incentives to our customers, such as allowances for new distribution, including slotting fees, and cooperative advertising.  Estimates of the costs of these promotional programs are based on (i) historical sales experience, (ii) the current promotional offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current market conditions, and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing personnel. We recognize the cost of such sales incentives by recording an estimate of such cost as a reduction of revenue, at the later of (a) the date the related revenue is recognized, or (b) the date when a particular sales incentive is offered.  At the completion of a promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.



Due to the nature of the consumer products industry, we are required to estimate future product returns.  Accordingly, we record an estimate of product returns concurrent with recording sales, which is made after analyzing (i) historical return rates, (ii) current economic trends, (iii) changes in customer demand, (iv) product acceptance, (v) seasonality of our product offerings, and (vi) the impact of changes in product formulation, packaging and advertising.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes product costs, warehousing costs, inbound and outbound shipping costs, and handling and storage costs.  Warehousing, shipping and handling and storage costs were $15.1 million and $28.6 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $10.9 million and $21.4 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.  Allowances for distribution costs associated with products, including slotting fees, are recognized as a reduction of sales.  Under these slotting fee distribution arrangements, the retailers allow our products to be placed on the stores' shelves in exchange for such fees.less than $1.0 million.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Topic 606, including new FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605. Along with amendments issued in 2015 and 2016, the new guidance eliminates industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods and services equal to an amount it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods and services. The new standard also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The new guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance to all contracts existing at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). The ASU, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

In March 2016,2017, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,2017-07, Compensation - Stock CompensationRetirement Benefits (Topic 718)715): ImprovementsImproving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which changes the presentation of net periodic benefit cost related to Employee Share-Based Payment Accountingemployer sponsored defined benefit plans and other postretirement benefits. Under this ASU, service cost should be included in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, while other components of net periodic benefit pension cost should be presented separately outside of operating income. Additionally, only service costs may be capitalized in assets.  Entities should apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component should be applied prospectively. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2019 required us to reclassify certain pension costs out of operating income and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this update involve several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, includingreflect the income tax consequences, classificationaccounting implications of awardsthe Tax Cuts and classificationJobs Act ("Tax Act").

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments in this update more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards, under which an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Our adoption of ASU 2015-11, effective April 1, 2017, did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements.

We plan to adopt the standard on April 1, 2019.  We are in the process of aggregating and evaluating our lease arrangements.  Adoption of this standard will result in a material increase in lease-related assets and liabilities recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, but we are unable to quantify the impact of adoptingat this guidance on our Financial Statements.time.
2.    Revenue Recognition


Nature of Goods and Services
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Topic 606, including new FASB ASC 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605. The new guidance will eliminate industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. This ASU primarily states that an entity shouldWe recognize revenue from product sales. We primarily ship finished goods to depictour customers and operate in three segments: North American OTC Healthcare, International OTC Healthcare, and Household Cleaning (this segment was sold on July 2, 2018). The segments are based on differences in the transfernature of products and geographical area. The North America and International OTC Healthcare segments market a variety of personal care and over-the-counter products in the following product groups: Analgesics, Cough & Cold, Women's Health, Gastrointestinal, Eye & Ear Care, Dermatologicals, and Oral Care. Prior to its sale, the Household Cleaning segment focused on the sale of cleaning products. Our products are distinct and separately identifiable on customer contracts or invoices, with each product sale representing a separate performance obligation.

We sell consumer products under a variety of brands through a broad distribution platform that includes mass merchandisers and drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels, all of which sell our products to consumers.

See Note 18 for disaggregated revenue information.

Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
Revenue is recognized when control of a promised goods or servicesgood is transferred to customersa customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expectsthat we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for thosethat good. This occurs either when finished goods and services.are transferred to a common carrier for delivery to the customer or when product is picked up by the customer or the customer’s carrier. This ASU will also require additional disclosures regardingrepresents a change in the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015,recognition for some sales. Refer to the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 from annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. With the issuance of ASU 2016-08table above in March 2016, the FASB clarified the implementation guidance on principals versus agent considerations in FASB ASC 606. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which clarified implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing in FASB ASC 606. Certain narrow aspectsNote 1 for disclosure of the guidanceadoption date impacts.

Once a product has transferred to the common carrier or been picked up by the customer, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the product. It is at this point that we have a right to payment and the customer has legal title.

Variable Consideration
Provisions for certain rebates, customer promotional programs, product returns, and discounts to customers are accounted for as variable consideration and recorded as a reduction in FASB ASC 606 were amendedsales.

We record an estimate of future product returns concurrent with the issuances of ASU 2016-12 in May 2016 and ASU 2016-20 in December 2016. We expect to adopt this guidance when effectiverecording sales, which is made using the modified retrospective transition method. We have made substantial progressmost likely amount method which incorporates (i) historical return rates, (ii) current economic trends, (iii) changes in completingcustomer demand, (iv) product


acceptance, (v) seasonality of our review ofproduct offerings, and (vi) the impact of this guidance. Our implementation approach includes performingchanges in product formulation, packaging and advertising.

We participate in the promotional programs of our customers to enhance the sale of our products. These promotional programs consist of direct-to-consumer incentives, such as coupons and temporary price reductions, as well as incentives to our customers, such as allowances for new distribution, including slotting fees, and cooperative advertising. The costs of such activities are recorded as a detailed studyreduction to revenue when the related sale takes place. Estimates of the various typescosts of agreements thatthese promotional programs are derived using the most likely amount method, which incorporates (i) historical sales experience, (ii) the current promotional offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current market conditions, and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing personnel. At the completion of the promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.

Practical Expedients
Due to the nature (short duration) of our contracts with customers, we apply the practical expedient related to remaining performance obligations disclosure. Remaining performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, in which we have withthe right to invoice the customer at the time the performance obligation is satisfied for the amount of revenue recognized at that time. Accordingly, we have elected the practical expedient available under ASC 606 not to disclose remaining performance obligations for our customerscontracts. The period between when control of the promised products transfers to the customer and assessing conformance of our current accounting practices withwhen the new standard. We currentlycustomer pays for the products is one year or less. As such, we do not expect this new guidance to haveadjust product consideration for the effects of a material impact on our Financial Statements, revenue recognition practices,significant financing component. The amortization period of any asset resulting from incremental costs of obtaining a contract would be one year or our internal controls. We continue to monitor additional amendments, clarifications and interpretations issued by the FASB that may affect our current conclusions.less.

2.AcquisitionsWe expense incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract (broker commissions) when the related sale takes place.

AcquisitionWe account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities and therefore recognize them upon shipment of Fleet
On January 26, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of C.B. Fleet Company, Inc. ("Fleet") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 22, 2016, for $823.7 million plus cash on hand at closing and subject to certain adjustments related to net working capital. The purchase price was funded by available cash on hand, additional borrowings under our asset-based revolving credit facility, and a new $740.0 million senior secured incremental term loan. As a result of the merger, we acquired multiple women's health, gastrointestinal and dermatological care OTC brands, including Summer’s Eve, Fleet, and Boudreaux's Butt Paste, as well as a “mix and fill” manufacturing facility in Lynchburg, Virginia. The financial results from the Fleet acquisition are included in the Company's North American and International OTC Healthcare segments.goods.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with Business Combinations topicimpact of the FASBadopting ASC 805, which requires that the total cost606 on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of an acquisition be allocated to the tangibleIncome and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.

We prepared an analysis of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumedComprehensive Income is as of the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes our allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the January 26, 2017 acquisition date.

Total liabilities assumed319,746
Total purchase price$823,723

Based on this preliminary analysis, we allocated $648.7 million to non-amortizable intangible assets and $98.9 million to amortizable intangible assets. We are amortizing the purchased amortizable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over an estimated weighted average useful life of 18.7 years.

We recorded goodwill of $273.1 million based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. The goodwill is a result of acquiring and retaining workforces and expected synergies from integrating Fleet's operations into the Company's. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table provides our unaudited pro forma revenues, net income and net income per basic and diluted common share had the results of Fleet's operations been included in our operations commencing on April 1, 2016, based on available information related to Fleet's operations. This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative either of the combined results of operations that actually would have been realized by us had the Fleet acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the period for which the pro forma information is presented, or of future results.

3.    Divestitures and Sale of License RightsDivestiture

Divestitures
On July 7, 2016,2, 2018, we completedsold the saleComet®, Spic and Span®, Chore Boy®, Chlorinol® and Cinch® brands, as well as associated inventory. These brands represented our Household Cleaning segment.

As a result of the Pediacare, New Skin and Fiber Choice brands for $40.0this transaction, we received proceeds of approximately $65.9 million plus the cost of inventory. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, weand recorded a pre-tax lossgain on sale of $56.2$1.3 million. The net proceeds were used to repay debt. 



Concurrent withThe following table sets forth the completioncomponents of the sale of these brands, we entered into a transitional services agreement withassets sold and the buyer, whereby we agreed to provide the buyer with various services, including marketing, operations, finance and other services, from the date of the acquisition through January 7, 2017. We also entered into an option agreement with the buyer to purchase Dermoplast at a specified earnings multiple, as defined in the option agreement. The buyer paid a $1.25 million deposit for this option in September 2016 and later notified us of its election to exercise the option. The sale was completed in December 2016.

Sale of license rights
Historically, we received royalty income from the licensing of the names of certain of our brands in geographic areas or markets in which we do not directly compete. We have had royalty agreements for our Comet brand for several years, which included options on behalf of the licensee to purchase license rights in certain geographic areas and markets in perpetuity. In December 2014, we amended these agreements and we sold rights to use of the Comet brand in certain Eastern European countries to a third-party licensee in exchange for $10.0 million as a partial early buyout of the license. The amended agreement provided that we would continue to receive royalty payments of $1.0 million per quarter for the remaining geographic areas and also granted the licensee an option to acquire the license rights in the remaining geographic areas any time after June 30, 2016. In July 2016, the licensee elected to exercise its option. In August 2016, we received $11.0 million for the purchase of the remaining license rights and, as a result, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $1.2 million and reduced our indefinite-lived trademarks by $9.0 million. Furthermore,recognized on the licensee was no longer required to make additional royalty payments to us, and as a result, our future royalty income was reduced accordingly.sale in July 2018:

As discussed in Note 3, on July 2, on January 26, 2017,2018, we completed the acquisition of Fleet. In connection with this acquisition,sold our Household Cleaning segment. As a result, we recordeddecreased goodwill of $273.1 million based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired.$6.2 million.

Under accounting guidelines, goodwill is not amortized, but must be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below the carrying amount.



On an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if conditions indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable, management performs a review of the values assigned to goodwill and tests for impairment. At February 28, 2017,2018, during our annual test for goodwill impairment, there were no indicators of impairment under the analysis. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded in fiscal 2017.2018. We utilize the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of our reporting units as part of the goodwill impairment test. We also considered our market capitalization at February 28, 2017,2018, which was the date of our annual review, as compared to the aggregate fair values of our reporting units, to assess the reasonableness of our estimates pursuant to the discounted cash flow methodology. The estimates and assumptions made in assessing the fair value of our reporting units and the valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. Consequently, changing rates of interest and inflation, declining sales or margins, increases inincreasing competition, changing consumer preferences, technical advances, or reductions in advertising and promotion may require an impairment charge to be recorded in the future. As of September 30, 2017,2018, no events have occurred that would indicate potential impairment of goodwill.

Amortization expense was $5.4 million and $11.2 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $5.8 million and $11.7 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  Based on January 26, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Fleet.  In connection with this acquisition, we allocated $747.6 million toour amortizable intangible assets based on our analysis.as of September 30, 2018, amortization expense is expected to be approximately $10.7 million for the remainder of fiscal 2019, $21.5 million in fiscal 2020, $21.0 million in fiscal 2021 and $20.6 million in each of fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Under accounting guidelines, indefinite-lived assets are not amortized, but must be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below the carrying amount. The date of our annual impairment review was February 28, 2018, and we recorded impairment charges in our March 31, 2018 financial statements. Additionally, at each reporting period, an evaluation must be made to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.  Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and are also tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

On an annual basis during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if conditions indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable, management performs a review of both the values and, if applicable, useful lives assigned to intangible assets and tests for impairment.

We utilize the excess earnings method to estimate the fair value of our individual indefinite-lived intangible assets.  We also considered our market capitalization at February 28, 2017, which wasThe discount rate utilized in the date of our annual impairment review. The estimatesanalyses, as well as future cash flows, may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and assumptions made in assessing the fair value of our reporting units and the valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. Consequently, changing rates of interest and inflation,inflation.  Additionally, should the related fair values of intangible assets be adversely affected as a result of declining sales or


margins increases incaused by competition, changing consumer preferences, technicaltechnological advances or reductions in advertising and promotionpromotional expenses, we may require anbe required to record impairment charge to be recordedcharges in the future.

As of September 30, 2017,2018, no events have occurred that would indicate further potential impairment of intangible assets.

9.    Fair Value Measurements
 
For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short maturity of these amounts.

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market assuming an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 established market (observable inputs) as the preferred source of fair value, to be followed by the Company'sour assumptions of fair value based on hypothetical transactions (unobservable inputs) in the absence of observable market inputs. Based upon the above, the following fair value hierarchy was created:

Level 1 - Quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, as well as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not considered active; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed by the Companyus using estimates and assumptions reflective of those that would be utilized by a market participant.

The market values have been determined based on market values for similar instruments adjusted for certain factors. As such, the 2016 Senior Notes, the 2013 Senior Notes, the 2012 Term B-4B-5 Loans, and the 2012 ABL Revolver are measured in Level 2 of the above hierarchy (seehierarchy. See summary below detailing the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these borrowings at September 30, 20172018 and March 31, 2017).2018.

12.    Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, which includes stock options and restricted stock units.units ("RSUs"). Potential common shares, composed of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and nonvested RSUs, are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation to the extent that they are dilutive. In loss periods, the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and restricted stock units has an anti-dilutive effect, and therefore these instruments are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.



The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

13.    Share-Based Compensation

In connection with our initial public offering, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for grants of up to a maximum of 5.0 million shares of restricted stock, stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs")RSUs and other equity-based awards. In June 2014, the Board of Directors approved, and in July 2014, our stockholders ratified, an increase of an additional 1.8 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the Plan, increasedan increase of the maximum number of shares subject to stock options that may be awarded to any one participant under the Plan during any fiscal 12-month period from 1.0 million to 2.5 million shares, and extendedan extension of the term of the Plan by ten years, to February 2025.  Directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing services for the Company, are eligible for grants under the Plan.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, pre-tax share-based compensation costs charged against income were $2.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and the related income tax benefit recognized was $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, pre-tax share-based compensation costs charged against income were $3.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively, and the related income tax benefit recognized was $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2016, pre-tax share-based compensation costs charged against income were $2.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, and the related income tax benefit recognized was $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2017,2018, there were $10.7$9.4 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvestednonvested share-based compensation arrangements under the Plan, based on management's estimate of the shares that will ultimately vest.  We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year.  The total fair value of options and restricted stock unitsRSUs vested during the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 was $6.7$11.9 million and $6.0$6.7 million, respectively.  For the six months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, we received cash from the exercise of stock options of $1.5$1.0 million and $3.4$1.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, we realized $1.2 million and $1.7$1.2 million, respectively, in tax benefits from the tax deductions resulting from restricted stockRSU issuances and stock option exercises. At September 30, 2017,2018, there were 2.21.8 million shares available for issuance under the Plan.

On May 8, 2017,7, 2018, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee of our Board of Directors granted 35,593103,406 performance stock units, 54,773100,399 RSUs and stock options to acquire 182,823294,484 shares of our common stock to certain executive officers and


employees under the Plan. The stock options were granted at an exercise price of $56.11$29.46 per share, which was equal to the closing price for our common stock on the date of the grant.
Pursuant to the Plan, eachEach of the independent members of the Board of Directors received a grant under the Plan of 2,5643,779 RSUs on August 1, 2017. The RSUs are fully vested upon receipt of the award and will be settled by delivery to the director of one share of common stock of the Company for each vested RSU promptly following the earliest of the director's (i) death, (ii) disability or (iii) the six-month anniversary of the date on which the director's Board membership ceases for reasons other than death or disability.July 31, 2018.

RestrictedRestricted Stock Units

RSUs granted to employees under the Plan generally vest in three years, primarily upon the attainment of certain time vesting thresholds, and, in the case of performance share units, may also be contingent on the attainment of certain performance goals of the Company, including revenue and earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization targets.  The RSUs provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control, as defined in the Plan.  The RSUs granted to employees generally vest either ratably over three years or in their entirety on the three-year anniversary of the date of the grant. Upon vesting, the units will be settled in shares of our common stock. Termination of employment prior to vesting will result in forfeiture of the RSUs, unless otherwise accelerated by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee or, in the case of RSUs granted in May 2017 and 2018, subject to pro-rata vesting in the event of death, disability or retirement. The RSUs granted to directors vest either in their entirety one year after the date of grant so long as membership on the Board of Directors continues through the vesting date, or immediately upon grant, and will be settled by delivery to the director of one share of our common stock of the Company for each vested RSU promptly following the earliest of the director's (i) death, (ii) disability or (iii) the six-month anniversary of the date on which the director's Board membership ceases for reasons other than death or disability.

The fair value of the RSUs is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $55.61 and $55.65, respectively.

Options

The Plan provides that the exercise price of options granted shall be no less than the fair market value of the Company'sour common stock on the date the options are granted.  Options granted have a term of no greater than ten years from the date of grant and vest in accordance with a schedule determined at the time the option is granted, generally three to five years.  The option awards provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control, as defined in the Plan. Except in the case of death, disability or retirement, termination of employment prior to vesting will result in forfeiture of the unvestednonvested stock options. Vested stock options will remain exercisable by the employee after termination of employment, subject to the terms in the Plan.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock and other factors, including the historical volatilities of comparable companies.  We use appropriate historical data, as well as current data, to estimate option exercise and employee termination behaviors.  Employees that are expected to exhibit similar exercise or termination behaviors are grouped together for the purposes of valuation.  The expected terms of the options granted are derived


from our historical experience, management's estimates, and consideration of information derived from the public filings of companies similar to us, and represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate represents the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the expected term of the granted options.  

The weighted-average grant-date fair values of the options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $10.22 and 2016 were $21.20, and $21.87, respectively.

14.    Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Act. The Tax Act represents significant U.S. federal tax reform legislation that includes a permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The permanent reduction to the federal corporate income tax rate resulted in a one-time gain of $267.0 million related to the value of our deferred tax liabilities and a gain of $3.2 million related to the lower blended tax rate on our earnings, in the year ended March 31, 2018, resulting in a net gain of $270.2 million. Additionally, the Tax Act subjects certain of our cumulative foreign earnings and profits to U.S. income taxes through a deemed repatriation, which resulted in a charge of $1.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2018.

The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex. The final transition impacts of the Tax Act may differ from the above estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates we have utilized to calculate the transition impacts, including impacts from changes to current year earnings estimates and foreign exchange rates of foreign subsidiaries. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has issued rules that allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment


date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. We currently anticipate finalizing and recording any resulting adjustment by the end of the measurement period.

Income taxes are recorded in our quarterly financial statements based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate, subject to adjustments for discrete events, should they occur.  The effective rates used in the calculation of income taxes were 37.7%29.1% and 35.9%37.7% for the three months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. The effective rates used in the calculation of income taxes were 36.8%27.4% and 35.5%36.8% for the six months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. The increasedecreases in the effective tax raterates for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 was2018 versus the respective prior year periods were primarily duerelated to state tax increases that occurred during the period.Tax Act.

The balance in our uncertain tax liability was $8.1$10.8 million at September 30, 20172018 and $3.7 millionat March 31, 2017. The increase in our uncertain tax liability was related to a measurement period adjustment associated with our Fleet acquisition.2018. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.  We did not incur any material interest or penalties related to income taxes in any of the periods presented.

During the remainder of fiscal 2018,2019, we expect to contribute an additional $0.2 million to theour non-qualified plan and make no contributions to the qualified plan.



16.    Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved from time to time in legal matters and other claims incidental to our business.  We review outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess the probability and amount of a potential loss.  These assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information becomes available to determine whether a reserve should be established or if any existing reserve should be adjusted.  The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded reserve.  In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation reserve until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement).  We believe the resolution of routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business, taking our reserves into account, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Purchase Commitments
We have supply agreements for the manufacture of some of our products. The following table shows the minimum amounts that we are committed to pay under these agreements:

We manage

Our product distribution in the continental United States is managed by a third party through a third-partyone primary distribution center innear St. Louis, Missouri.Missouri, and we operate one manufacturing facility located in Lynchburg, Virginia. A serious disruption, such as ancaused by performance or contractual issues with the third party distribution manager or by earthquake, tornado, flood, or fire, to the main distribution center could damage our inventories and couldinventory and/or materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. Any disruption as a result of third party performance at our distribution center could result in increased costs, expense, shipping times, customer fees and penalties. In addition, any serious disruption to our Lynchburg manufacturing facility could materially impair our ability to manufacture many of our products, which would also limit our ability to provide products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost.  We could also incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times associated with the distribution of our products to our customers during the time that it takes usshould we be required to reopen or replace our primary distribution center.center, the third party distribution manager or the manufacturing facility.  As a result, any suchserious disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, salesfinancial condition and profitability.results of operations.

At September 30, 2018, we had relationships with 110 third-party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 34 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 60.0% of gross sales for the six months ended September 30, 2018. At September 30, 2017, we had relationships with 110 third-party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 45 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 79.5% of gross sales for the six months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2016, we had relationships with 116 third-party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 49 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 78.8% of gross sales for the six months ended September 30, 2016. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate arbitrary and costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Although we are in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20172018.  This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties.  Future results could differ materially from the discussion that follows for many reasons, including the factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20172018 and in future reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"("SEC").
See also “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 3832 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Unless otherwise indicated by the context, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Prestige” refer to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and our subsidiaries. Similarly, reference to a year (e.g., “2019”) refers to our fiscal year ended March 31 of that year.

General
We are engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of well-recognized, brand name over-the-counter ("OTC") healthcare and household cleaning products (prior to the sale of our Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018) to mass merchandisers and drug, food, dollar, convenience, and club stores and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets.  We use the strength of our brands, our established retail distribution network, a low-cost operating model and our experienced management team to our competitive advantage.

We have grown our brand portfolio both organically and through acquisitions. We develop our existing brands by investing in new product lines, brand extensions and strong advertising support. Acquisitions of OTC brands have also been an important part of our growth strategy. We have acquired strong and well-recognized brands from consumer products and pharmaceutical andcompanies, as well as private equity companies.firms. While many of these brands have long histories of brand development and investment, we believe that, at the time we acquired them, most were considered “non-core” by their previous owners. As a result, these acquired brands did not benefit from adequate management focus and marketing support during the period prior to their acquisition, which created opportunities for us to reinvigorate these brands and improve their performance post-acquisition. After adding a core brand to our portfolio, we seek to increase its sales, market share and distribution in both existing and new channels through our established retail distribution network.  We pursue this growth through increased spending on advertising and promotional support, new sales and marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations, and innovative development of brand extensions.

AcquisitionsDivestiture
On July 2, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with KIK International LLC, pursuant to which we sold certain assets, including certain intellectual property rights, associated with our Household Cleaning segment. The assets sold represent our Household Cleaning segment. We received proceeds of $65.9 million and used the net proceeds to repay long-term debt in July 2018. As a condition of the agreement, we entered into a Transitional Services Agreement on July 2, 2018, under which we will provide certain services to KIK International LLC related to the transition of the business for a specified period of time.

Divestitures and Sale of License Rights

On July 7, 2016, we completed the sale of the Pediacare, New Skin and Fiber Choice brands for $40.0 million plus the cost of inventory. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded a pre-tax loss on sale of $56.2 million.

Concurrent with the completion of the sale of these brands, we entered into a transitional services agreement with the buyer, whereby we agreed to provide the buyer with various services, including marketing, operations, finance and other services, from theenactment date of the acquisition through January 7, 2017. We also entered into an option agreement withTax Act to finalize the buyer to purchase Dermoplast at a specified earnings multiple, as defined inrecording of the option agreement. The buyer paid a $1.25 million deposit for this option in September 2016 and later notified us of its election to exercise the option. The sale was completed in December 2016.related tax impacts.

Historically, we received royalty income from the licensing of the names of certain of our brands in geographic areas or markets in which we do not directly compete. We have had royalty agreements for our Comet brand for several years, which included options on behalf of the licensee to purchase license rights in certain geographic areas and markets in perpetuity. In December 2014, we amended these agreements and we sold rights to use of the Comet brand in certain Eastern European countries to a third-party licensee in exchange for $10.0 million as a partial early buyout of the license. The amended agreement provided that we would continue to receive royalty payments of $1.0 million per quarter for the remaining geographic areas and also granted the licensee an option to acquire the license rights in the remaining geographic areas any time after June 30, 2016. In July 2016, the licensee elected to exercise its option. In August 2016, we received $11.0 million for the purchase of the remaining license rights and, as a result, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $1.2 million and reduced our indefinite-lived trademarks by $9.0 million. Furthermore, the licensee was no longer required to make additional royalty payments to us, and as a result, our future royalty income was reduced accordingly.

Our primary source of cash comes from our cash flow from operations. In the past, we have supplemented this source of cash with various debt facilities, primarily in connection with acquisitions. We have financed our operations, and expect to continue to finance our operations over the next twelve months, with a combination of funds generated from operations and borrowings.  Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, debt service, share repurchase and acquisitions. Based on our current levels of operations and anticipated growth, excluding acquisitions, we believe that our cash generated from operations and our existing credit facilities will be adequate to finance our working capital and capital expenditures through the next twelve months, although no assurance can be given in this regard.months.

The 2012 Term Loan was issued with an original issue discount of 1.5% of the principal amount thereof, resulting in net proceeds to the Borrower of $650.1 million. In connection with these loan facilities, we incurred $20.6 million of costs, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the terms of the facilities. The 2012 Term Loan is unconditionally guaranteed by Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. and certain of its domestic 100% owned subsidiaries, other than the Borrower. Each of these guarantees is joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of any of the guarantors to obtain funds from their subsidiaries or to make payments to the Borrower or the Company.

Covenants:
Our debt facilities contain various financial covenants, including provisions that require us to maintain certain leverage, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios.  The credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2013 Senior Notes and 2016 Senior Notes contain provisions that accelerate our indebtedness on certain changes in control and restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, including asset dispositions, acquisitions, payment of dividends and other specified payments, repurchasing our equity securities in the public markets, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, making loans and investments and transactions with affiliates. Specifically, we must:

Have a leverage ratio of less than 7.506.75 to 1.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 20172018 (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated total net debt as of the last day of the fiscal quarter to our trailing twelve month consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (“EBITDA”)). Our leverage ratio requirement decreases over time to 7.256.50 to 1.01.00 on March 31, 2018 and .25 to 1.0 per quarter until December 31, 2018 and 6.50 to 1.0remains at that level thereafter;

Have an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.002.25 to 1.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 20172018 and thereafter (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA to our trailing twelve month consolidated cash interest expense). Our interest coverage requirement increases over time to 2.25 to 1.0 on March 31, 2018 and remains level thereafter;; and

Have a fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.0 to 1.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 20172018 (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA minus capital expenditures to our trailing twelve month consolidated interest paid, taxes paid and other specified payments). Our fixed charge requirement remains level throughout the term of the credit agreement.

At September 30, 2017,2018, we were in compliance with the applicable financial and restrictive covenants under the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2013 Senior Notes and the 2016 Senior Notes. Additionally, management anticipates that in the normal course of operations, we will be in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants during the remainder of 2018. During2019.

As we deem appropriate, we may from time to time utilize derivative financial instruments to mitigate the years endedimpact of changing interest rates associated with our long-term debt obligations or other derivative financial instruments.  While we have utilized derivative financial instruments in the past, we did not have any significant derivative financial instruments outstanding at either September 30, 2018 or March 31, 2017 and 2016, we made voluntary principal payments against outstanding indebtedness of $175.5 million and $60.0 million, respectively, under the 2012 Term Loan. During the first half of 2018 we made voluntary principal payments of $105.0 million under the 2012 Term Loan. Under the Term Loan Amendment No. 4, we are required to make quarterly payments each equal to 0.25%or during any of the aggregate principal amount of $1,427.0 million. Since weperiods presented.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special-purpose entities.



Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of raw materials, packaging materials, purchased product and overhead may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.  Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, a high rate of inflation in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.  Volatility in crude oil prices may have an adverse impact on transportation costs, as well as certain petroleum based raw materials and packaging material.  Although we make efforts to minimize the impact of inflationary factors, including raising prices to our customers, a high rate of pricing volatility associated with crude oil supplies or other raw materials used in our products may have an adverse effect on our operating results.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.  A summary of our critical accounting policies is presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.2018.  There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended September 30, 2017.2018, except as described in Note 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements is included in the notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in Part I, Item I, Note 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates because our 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver are variable rate debt.debt instruments.  Interest rate changes generally do not significantly affect the market value of the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver but do affect the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.  At September 30, 2017,2018, we had variable rate debt of approximately $1,367.0$913.0 million.

Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a 1.0% increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would have an adverse impact on pre-tax earnings and cash flows for the three and six months ended September 30, 20172018 of approximately $3.5$2.4 million and $7.2$5.0 million, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2017,2018, approximately 10.7%12.1% and 10.2%10.5%, respectively, of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2016,2017, approximately 13.6%10.7% and 12.5%10.2%, respectively, of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As such, we are exposed to transactions that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates, including insignificant foreign currency forward exchange agreements. These transactions are primarily with respect to the Canadian and Australian Dollar.

We performed a sensitivity analysis with respect to exchange rates for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Holding all other variables constant, and assuming a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates, this analysis resulted in a less than 5.0% impact on pre-tax income of approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018. It represented a less than 5% impact on pre-tax income of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2017.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
              
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 20172018.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 20172018, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have excluded Fleet fromThere was no change in our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017, because (i) Fleet was acquired by us inthat occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 and (ii) Fleet is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets represent approximately 3.6% of the related condensed consolidated financial statement assets as of September 30, 2017 and whose total revenue represent approximately 20.2% and 20.8%, respectively, of the related condensed consolidated financial statement revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017. We are currently in the process of evaluating and integrating Fleet's historical internal control over financial reporting structure with ours. Other than the changes noted above, there have been no changes during the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act,2018 that havehas materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting.




PART II.OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017,2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results of operations. The risksrisk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed in the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and such risks are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our quarterly operating results and revenues may fluctuate as a result of any of these or other factors. Accordingly, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year, and revenues for any particular future period may decrease.  In the future, operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors.  In that event, the market price of our outstanding securities could be adversely impacted.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On October 29, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, which Amended and Restated Bylaws were originally approved effective as of August 17, 2018, to add a forum selection bylaw, re-insert the process for stockholders to act by written consent and other clarifying changes.

A copy of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

In October 2017, the Company adopted the Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. Executive Severance Plan (formerly known as the Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (as amended from time to time since then, the “Plan”)). On October 29, 2018, the Company approved certain amendments to the Plan in order to continue the evolution of the Company’s compensation programs started last year by eliminating employment agreements; and ensure the retention of critical personnel in a change-in-control event.

The Plan is open to participants designated by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors as either a Tier 1 participant (which presently includes only the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) or as a Tier 2 participant (which presently includes, among others, each of the Company’s currently employed “named executive officers”) and provides generally for the payment of severance benefits in the event of termination of employment by the Company without “cause” or resignation by the participant for “good reason,” each as defined in the Plan (each, a “Qualified Termination”).

Prior to the amendments, the Plan provided the following benefits, regardless whether the Qualified Termination occurred before or after a change in control of the Company, in any event subject to a release of claims and compliance with certain noncompetition and other restrictive covenants: (i) cash severance in a multiple (1.5 in the case of Tier 1 participants and 1.0 for Tier 2 participants) of base salary plus target annual bonus, in each case payable in installments over the 12 months following termination, (ii) certain continued medical benefits for 12 months, and (iii) a pro-rata annual incentive based on actual performance payable at the time any annual bonus is paid to continuing employees. As amended, the severance benefits provided in respect of a Qualified Termination occurring before a change in control of the Company have not changed, but the Plan now provides that, if the Qualified Termination occurs upon or within the 24-month period following a change in control, (i) the severance multiple is 2.5 for Tier 1 participants and 2.0 for Tier 2 participants and payment is made in a lump-sum rather than installments, (ii) the continued medical benefit period is extended to 18 months, (iii) the pro-rata annual incentive is paid upon termination based upon the greater of target or then-actual performance, and (iv) up to 18 months of outplacement assistance will be provided, all still subject to a release of claims and compliance with the noncompetition and other restrictive covenants. The definitions of cause and good reason were modified in certain respects to provide additional protection to participants, particularly following a change in control.

The Plan continues to provide that, in the event that payments made by the Company to a participant would be subject to the “golden parachute” excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code, such payments will be reduced so that no excise tax is payable if the net after-tax amount of the reduced payments provides a greater benefit to the participant. The Plan does not provide for any excise tax “gross-up” payment.

Certain other immaterial and conforming changes were made to the Plan.
