Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. | Business and Basis of Presentation |
Nature of Business
Prestige Brands Holdings, 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, Inc. and all of its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) is engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter (“OTC”) healthcare and household cleaning products to mass merchandisers, drug stores, supermarkets and dollar and club stores primarily in the United States and Canada and in certain other international markets. Prestige Brands Holdings, 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 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited 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 the Consolidated Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, the Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair presentation 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 Consolidated Financial Statements or notes to a year (e.g., “2013”) mean our fiscal year ending or ended on March 31st of that year. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. This financial information should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
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 these estimates. As discussed below, our most significant estimates include those made in connection with the valuation of intangible assets, sales returns and allowances, trade promotional allowances and inventory obsolescence.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all short-term deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Substantially all of our cash is held by a large regional bank with headquarters in California. We do not believe that, as a result of this concentration, we are subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
Accounts Receivable
We extend non-interest-bearing trade credit to our customers in the ordinary course of business. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon historical collection experience and expected collectability of the accounts receivable. In an effort to reduce credit risk, we (i) have established credit limits for all of our customer relationships, (ii) perform ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition, (iii) monitor the payment history and aging of customers' receivables, and (iv) monitor open orders against an individual customer's outstanding receivable balance.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, with cost determined by using the first-in, first-out method. We reduce inventories for diminution of value resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value. Factors utilized in the determination of estimated market value include: (i) current sales data and historical return rates, (ii) estimates of future demand, (iii) competitive pricing pressures, (iv) new product introductions, (v) product expiration dates, and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.
-5-
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Years | |
Machinery | 5 |
Computer equipment | 3 |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 |
Leasehold improvements | * |
* Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the related asset.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, we remove the cost and associated accumulated depreciation from the respective accounts and recognize the resulting gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Goodwill
The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase business combinations is classified as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized, although the carrying value is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit “brand” level, which is one level below the operating segment level.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, which are comprised primarily of trademarks, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets with finite lives, amortization is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year. Intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts exceed their fair values and may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Deferred Financing Costs
We have incurred debt origination costs in connection with the issuance of long-term debt. These costs are capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized using the effective interest method, over the term of the related debt. For a further discussion regarding accelerated amortization, refer to Note 10.
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 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. At the completion of a promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.
-6-
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. Shipping, warehousing and handling costs were $7.6 million and $23.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and $6.9 million and $20.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011.
Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Allowances for new distribution costs associated with products, including slotting fees, are recognized as a reduction of sales. Under these new distribution arrangements, the retailers allow our products to be placed on the stores' shelves in exchange for such fees.
Stock-based Compensation
We recognize stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of the equity award. Compensation expense is recognized over the period an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally referred to as the requisite service period.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
The Income Taxes topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result, we have applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities.
We are subject to taxation in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions.
We classify penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Potential common shares, composed of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights and unvested restricted shares, are included in the earnings per share calculation to the extent that they are dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance regarding testing the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The new guidance is intended to simplify how entities test impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test described in the ASC Intangibles-Goodwill and Other topic. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position, as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting
-7-
agreements or similar arrangements. An entity will be required to disclose the following information for assets and liabilities within the scope of the new standard: (i) the gross amounts of those recognized assets and those recognized liabilities; (ii) the amounts offset to determine the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; (iii) the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; (iv) the amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement not otherwise included in (ii); and (v) the net amount after deducting the amounts in (iv) from the amounts in (iii). The standard affects all entities with balances presented on a net basis in the financial statements, derivative assets and derivative liabilities, repurchase agreements, and financial assets and financial liabilities executed under a master netting or similar arrangement. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, our arrangement with GlaxoSmithKline plc ("GSK"), as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, provided that, during the term of the arrangement, we would receive a net monthly remittance, and therefore, we have reported a net amount due from GSK in our accounts receivable at March 31, 2012 of $8.4 million. Since the arrangement ended June 30, 2012, we do not have any amounts due from GSK in our accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding presentation of comprehensive income. Under the ASC Comprehensive Income topic, entities are allowed the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This guidance does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance to defer the new requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. Based on this guidance, entities are still required to adopt either the single continuous statement or the two-statement approach required by the new guidance. However, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the requirements in effect before the adoption of the new standard (i.e., by component of other comprehensive income, either by displaying each component on a gross basis on the face of the appropriate financial statement or by displaying each component net of other changes on the face of the appropriate financial statement with the gross change disclosed in the notes). The new guidance and this deferral were effective for the Company beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2012, and full retrospective application is required. The December 2011 deferral of the guidance issued in June 2011, as well as the June 2011 guidance, are effective at the same time. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding testing goodwill for impairment. The new guidance is intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in the ASC Intangibles-Goodwill and Other topic. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management has reviewed and continues to monitor the actions of the various financial and regulatory reporting agencies and is currently not aware of any other pronouncement that could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
2. | Acquisitions |
Acquisition of GlaxoSmithKline OTC Brands
On December 20, 2011, we entered into two separate agreements with GSK to acquire a total of 17 North American OTC healthcare brands (the "GSK Brands") for $660.0 million in cash (the "GSK Agreement").
On January 31, 2012, we completed, subject to a post-closing inventory and apportionment adjustment, as defined in the GSK Agreement, the acquisition of 15 North American OTC healthcare brands previously owned by GSK and its affiliates (the “GSK Brands I”) for $615.0 million in cash, including the related contracts, trademarks and inventory. The GSK Brands I include, among other brands, BC, Goody's and Ecotrin brands of pain relievers; Beano, Gaviscon, Phazyme, Tagamet and Fiber Choice gastrointestinal brands; and the Sominex sleep aid brand. We acquired the GSK Brands I pursuant to the terms of the GSK Agreement.

On March 30, 2012, we completed, subject to a post-closing inventory and apportionment adjustment, as defined in the GSK Agreement, the acquisition of the Debrox and Gly-Oxide brands (the “GSK Brands II”) in the United States for $45.0 million in cash, including the related contracts, trademarks and inventory.
Both the GSK Brands I and GSK Brands II are complementary to our existing OTC healthcare portfolio.
These acquisitions were accounted for in accordance with the Business Combinations topic of the ASC, which requires that the total cost of an acquisition be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.
The purchase price of the GSK Brands I and GSK Brands II was funded by cash provided by the issuance of long-term debt and additional bank borrowings, which are discussed further in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In April 2012, we received the post-closing inventory and apportionment adjustments, which required an additional $2.8 million to be paid to GSK, and in May 2012 we received a revised post-closing inventory and apportionment adjustment, which required an additional $0.2 million, for a total of $3.0 million, to be paid to GSK.
Concurrent with the closing of the GSK Brands I transaction, we entered into a Transitional Services Agreement with GSK (the “TSA”), whereby GSK provided us with various services including: marketing, operations, finance and other services from the GSK Brands I acquisition date primarily through June 30, 2012, with additional finance support through August 31, 2012. As part of the TSA, GSK, among other things, shipped products, invoiced customers, collected from customers and paid certain vendors on our behalf. Our initial costs under the TSA were approximately $2.5 million per month for the length of the agreement and were reduced during the service period as we removed certain services and transitioned these processes to us. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, we incurred zero and $6.9 million, respectively, in TSA costs. Pursuant to this arrangement, we received on a monthly basis the amount owed to us for revenues and expenses, net of GSK's TSA fees and inventory that GSK purchased on our behalf.
The allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired is based on a valuation we performed to determine the fair value of such assets as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes our allocation of the $663.0 million purchase price to the assets we acquired on the GSK Brands I and GSK Brands II (collectively, the "GSK Brands") acquisition dates:

Total purchase price | $ | 578,688 | $ | 84,338 | $ | 663,026 |
We recorded goodwill based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of assets acquired. The amount of goodwill deductible for tax purposes is $20.2 million.
The fair value of the trade names is comprised of $556.9 million of non-amortizable intangible assets and $67.2 million of amortizable intangible assets. We are amortizing the purchased amortizable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over an estimated weighted average useful life of 19.3 years. The weighted average remaining life for amortizable intangible assets at December 31, 2012 was 18.2 years.
The operating results of the GSK Brands I have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning February 1, 2012, while the operating results of the GSK Brands II have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning April 1, 2012. Revenues of the acquired operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 were $56.9 million and $159.9 million, respectively, and net income was $8.7 million and $18.4 million, respectively.
The following table provides our unaudited pro forma revenues, net income and net income per basic and diluted common share as if the results of GSK's operations had been included in our operations commencing on April 1, 2011, based upon available information related to GSK's operations.

Sale of the Phazyme Brand
On October 31, 2012, we divested the Phazyme gas treatment brand, which was a non-core OTC brand that we acquired from GSK in January 2012. We received $21.7 million on October 31, 2012 and the remaining $0.6 million was received on January 4, 2013. The proceeds were used to repay debt. No significant gain or loss was recorded as a result of the sale.
Concurrent with the completion of the sale of the Phazyme brand, we entered into a Transitional Services Agreement with the buyer (the “Phazyme TSA”), whereby we agreed to provide the buyer with various services including: marketing, operations, finance and other services from the date of the acquisition date primarily through January 31, 2013, with additional support for the Canadian portion of that business through March 31, 2013, which may be extended, at the buyer's option, through October 31, 2013 for which fees will be negotiated at such time. As part of the Phazyme TSA, we, among other things, ship products, invoice customers, collect from customers and pay certain vendors on the buyer's behalf. During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we earned $0.1 million from fees under the Phazyme TSA.

At March 31, 2012, during our annual test for goodwill impairment, there were no indicators of impairment under the analysis. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded in 2012. Additionally, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, no indicators of impairment existed and no impairment charge was recorded.
The discounted cash flow methodology is a widely-accepted valuation technique to estimate fair value utilized by market participants in the transaction evaluation process and has been applied consistently. We also considered our market capitalization at March 31, 2012, 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 in competition, changing consumer preferences, technical advances, or reductions in advertising and promotion may require impairments in the future.
As discussed in Note 1, in accordance with recent guidance from the FASB, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors in testing goodwill for impairment prior to performing a quantitative assessment. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and became effective for the Company in fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we received a revised post-closing inventory and apportionment adjustment from GSK for an additional amount of $0.2 million, which resulted in an increase to our recorded goodwill balance.
As more fully discussed in Note 3, on October 31, 2012, we sold the Phazyme Brand for $22.3 million. As a result of the divestiture of Phazyme, we reduced goodwill by $6.4 million.

As discussed in Note 3, on October 31, 2012, we sold the Phazyme brand for $22.3 million. As a result of this divestiture, we reduced the net book value of our intangible assets by $15.6 million.
In a manner similar to goodwill, we completed our test for impairment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2012. We did not record an impairment charge, as facts and circumstances indicated that the fair values of the intangible assets for our operating segments exceeded their carrying values. Additionally, for the indefinite-lived intangible assets, an evaluation of the facts and circumstances as of December 31, 2012 continues to support an indefinite useful life for these assets. Therefore, no impairment charge was recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2012.
The weighted average remaining life for finite-lived intangible assets at December 31, 2012 was approximately 13.0 years and the amortization expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $3.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, finite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over a period of 3 to 30 years, and the associated amortization expense is expected to be as follows:

10. | Long-Term Debt |
On March 24, 2010, Prestige Brands, Inc. ("the Borrower") issued $150.0 million of senior unsecured notes, with an interest rate of 8.25% and a maturity date of April 1, 2018 (the "2010 Senior Notes"). On November 1, 2010, the Borrower issued an additional $100.0 million of the 2010 Senior Notes. The Borrower may earlier redeem some or all of the 2010 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2010 Senior Notes. The 2010 Senior Notes issued in March and November 2010 were issued at an aggregate face value of $150.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, with a discount to the initial purchasers of $2.2 million and a premium of $0.3 million, respectively, and net proceeds to the Company of $147.8 million and $100.3 million, respectively, yielding an 8.5% effective interest rate for the 2010 Senior Notes on a combined basis. The 2010 Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. and 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.
On March 24, 2010, the Borrower entered into a senior secured term loan facility for $150.0 million, with an interest rate at LIBOR plus 3.25% with a LIBOR floor of 1.5% and a maturity date of March 24, 2016 (the "2010 Senior Term Loan"). The $150.0 million 2010 Senior Term Loan was entered into with a discount to lenders of $1.8 million and net proceeds to the Company of $148.2 million, yielding a 5.0% effective interest rate. On November 1, 2010, Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., together with the Borrower and certain of its other subsidiaries, executed an Increase Joinder to the credit agreement governing the 2010 Senior Term Loan (the "Increase Joinder"), pursuant to which the Borrower entered into an incremental term loan in the amount of $115.0 million. The 2010 Senior Term Loan was scheduled to mature on March 24, 2016 but was repaid in full on January 31, 2012 with the entry into the new senior secured credit facility described below. The 2010 Senior Term Loan was unconditionally guaranteed by Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. and its domestic 100% owned subsidiaries, other than the Borrower.
Additionally, on March 24, 2010, the Borrower entered into a non-amortizing senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2010 Revolving Credit Facility” and, collectively with the 2010 Senior Term Loan, the “2010 Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million. On November 1, 2010, pursuant to the Increase Joinder, the amount of the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility was increased by $10.0 million, providing the Borrower with borrowing capacity under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $40.0 million. On January 31, 2012, in connection with the entry into the new senior
-13-
secured credit facility as described below, the Borrower terminated the 2010 Credit Facility. There were no material early termination penalties as a result of the termination of the 2010 Credit Facility.
On January 31, 2012, the Borrower issued $250.0 million of senior unsecured notes at par value, with an interest rate of 8.125% and a maturity date of February 1, 2020 (the "2012 Senior Notes"). The Borrower may earlier redeem some or all of the 2012 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2012 Senior Notes. The 2012 Senior Notes are guaranteed by Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. and certain of its domestic 100% owned subsidiaries. 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. In connection with the 2012 Senior Notes offering, we incurred $12.6 million of costs which were capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the term of the 2012 Senior Notes.
On January 31, 2012, the Borrower also entered into a new senior secured credit facility, which consists of (i) a $660.0 million term loan facility (the “2012 Term Loan”) with a seven-year maturity and (ii) a $50.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “2012 ABL Revolver”) with a five-year maturity. In September 2012, we utilized a portion of our accordion feature to increase the amount of our borrowing capacity under the 2012 ABL Revolver by $25.0 million to $75.0 million. 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 Company 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.
During the three months ended December 31, 2012, as a result of our significant debt repayments, we accelerated a portion of the deferred financing costs and original issue discount related to our 2012 Term Loan. As a result, during the three months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a $7.7 million pre-tax charge to interest expense related to this non-cash acceleration. Of the $7.7 million, $3.0 million relates to the prior three quarters. Had the timing of the accelerated amortization been properly recorded, pre-tax earnings for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 would have been higher by $3.0 million ($1.9 million after tax or $0.03 per diluted share) and $1.1 million ($0.7 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share), respectively; pre-tax earnings in the first and second quarters of 2013 would have been lower by $1.2 million ($0.7 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted share) and $0.7 million ($0.5 million or $0.01 per diluted share), respectively; and pre-tax earnings in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the year-ended March 31, 2012 would have been lower by $1.1 million ($0.7 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share). We do not believe the amounts were material to the consolidated financial statements for any prior period and the cumulative amount is not material to the estimated results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2013. Furthermore, the adjustments had no impact to our cash flows from operations or total cash flows.
The 2012 Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00% and (d) a floor of 2.25% or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided that LIBOR shall not be lower than 1.25%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the average interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan was 5.4%.
Under the 2012 Term Loan, we are required to make quarterly payments each equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the 2012 Term Loan, with the balance expected to be due on the seventh anniversary of the closing date. However, since we made a $25.0 million payment in March 2012, and additional payments totaling $167.5 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we will not be required to make a payment until the maturity date of January 31, 2019.
Borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin, plus, at our option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00% or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver is 1.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 0.75% with respect to base-rate borrowings. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver may be increased to 2.00% or 2.25% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.00% or 1.25% for base-rate borrowings, depending on average excess availability under the 2012 ABL Revolver during the prior fiscal quarter. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the 2012 ABL Revolver, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the 2012 ABL Revolver in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The initial commitment fee rate is 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate will be reduced to 0.375% per annum at any time when the average daily unused commitments for the prior quarter is less than a percentage of total commitments in an amount set forth
-14-
in the credit agreement covering the 2012 ABL Revolver. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the 2012 ABL Revolver at any time without a premium or penalty. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the average interest rate on the 2012 ABL Revolver was 2.3%.
We used the net proceeds from the 2012 Senior Notes offering, together with borrowings under the 2012 Term Loan, to finance the acquisition of the GSK Brands I and GSK Brands II, to repay the 2010 Credit Facility, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with these transactions and for general corporate purposes. The acquisition of the GSK Brands is discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In connection with the financing activities of March 2010 relating to the 2010 Senior Notes, the 2010 Senior Term Loan and the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility, we incurred $7.3 million in issuance costs, of which $6.6 million was capitalized as deferred financing costs and $0.7 million was expensed. In connection with the financing activities of November 2010 relating to the 2010 Senior Notes and the Increase Joinder, we incurred $0.6 million in issuance costs, all of which were capitalized as deferred financing costs. In connection with the financing activities of January 2012 relating to the 2012 Senior Notes, the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver, we incurred $12.6 million, $18.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in issuance costs, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs. The deferred financing costs are being amortized over the terms of the related loan and notes. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, we made significant payments toward our outstanding indebtedness under our 2012 Term Loan. As such, we accelerated a portion of the deferred financing costs related to the 2012 Term Loan in the amount of $5.1 million.
The 2010 Senior Notes are secured on a pari passu basis with the 2012 Term Loan and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis. The 2012 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis. The 2010 Senior Notes are effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured obligations of the Company, equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company, and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated debt of the Company. The 2012 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to secured obligations of the Company, including the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the 2010 Senior Notes, equal in right of payment to all existing and future unsecured obligations of the Company, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated obligations of the Company.
At any time prior to April 1, 2014, we may redeem the 2010 Senior Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole premium” calculated as set forth in the indenture governing the 2010 Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. We may redeem the 2010 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time on or after the 12-month period beginning April 1, 2014 at a redemption price of 104.125% of the principal amount thereof, at a redemption price of 102.063% of the principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on April 1, 2015, and at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs on and after April 1, 2016, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, prior to April 1, 2013, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, we may redeem up to 35% in aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 108.250% of the principal amount of the 2010 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.
At any time prior to February 1, 2016, we may redeem the 2012 Senior Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus a "make-whole premium" calculated as set forth in the indenture governing the 2012 Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. On or after February 1, 2016, we may redeem the 2012 Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2012 Senior Notes. In addition, at any time prior to February 1, 2015, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 108.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, provided that certain conditions are met. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the 2012 Senior Notes, Prestige Brands, Inc. will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2012 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Senior Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
The indentures governing the 2010 Senior Notes and 2012 Senior Notes contain provisions that restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, such as asset dispositions, acquisitions, dividend payments, repurchases of common shares outstanding, changes of control, incurrences of indebtedness, issuance of equity, creation of liens, making of loans and transactions with affiliates. Additionally, the credit agreement with respect to the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indenture governing the 2012 Senior Notes contain cross-default provisions, whereby a default pursuant to the terms and conditions of certain indebtedness will cause a default on the remaining indebtedness under the credit agreement and the indenture governing the 2012 Senior Notes. At December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with the covenants under our long-term indebtedness.

11. | 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.
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB ASC 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. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic established market (observable inputs) as the preferred source of fair value to be followed by the Company's 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 Company using estimates and assumptions reflective of those that would be utilized by a market participant.
-16-
The market values have been determined based on market values for similar instruments adjusted for certain factors. As such, the 2012 Term Loan, the 2012 Senior Notes, the 2010 Senior Notes and the 2012 ABL Revolver are measured in Level 2 of the above hierarchy. At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, we did not have any assets or liabilities measured in Level 1 or 3. During any of the periods presented, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1, 2 and 3.
At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the carrying value of our 2012 Senior Notes was $250.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively. The market value of our 2012 Senior Notes was $278.1 million and $270.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012.
At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the carrying value of the 2012 Term Loan was $467.5 million and $635.0 million, respectively. The market value of the 2012 Term Loan was $472.2 million and $639.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012.
At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the carrying value of our 2010 Senior Notes was $250.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively. The market value of our 2010 Senior Notes was $276.3 million and $272.5 million at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.
At December 31, 2012, the carrying value and the market value of the 2012 ABL Revolver was $40.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively.
12. | Stockholders' Equity |
The Company is authorized to issue 250.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5.0 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Board of Directors may direct the issuance of the undesignated preferred stock in one or more series and determine preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof.
Each share of common stock has the right to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends. No dividends have been declared or paid on the Company's common stock through December 31, 2012.
Pursuant to the provisions of the various employee restricted stock awards, we repurchased no shares of restricted common stock from our employees during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, we repurchased zero and 20,999 shares, respectively, of restricted common stock from our employees pursuant to the provisions of the various employee restricted stock awards. The repurchases were at an average price of $12.86. All of the repurchased shares have been recorded as treasury stock.
13. | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) is comprised of various items that affect equity and results from recognized transactions and other economic events, other than transactions with owners in their capacity as owners.
AOCI consisted of the following at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012:

14. | Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on 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, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

For each of the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, there were less than 0.1 million shares attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, there were 0.7 million and 0.5 million shares, respectively, attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
15. | 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 the grant of up to a maximum of 5.0 million shares of restricted stock, stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards. 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 nine months ended December 31, 2012, pre-tax share-based compensation costs charged against income were $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and the related income tax benefit recognized was $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, pre-tax share-based compensation costs charged against income were $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and the related income tax benefit recognized was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Restricted Shares
Restricted shares granted to employees under the Plan generally vest in 3 to 5 years, primarily upon the attainment of certain time vesting thresholds, and may also be contingent on the attainment of certain performance goals by the Company, including revenue and earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization targets. The restricted share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control, as defined in the Plan. On May 9, 2012, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 111,152 shares of restricted common stock units to certain executive officers and employees under the Plan. On June 29, 2012, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 12,652 shares of restricted common stock units to the independent members of the Board of Directors under the Plan. On August 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted 5,109 shares of restricted common stock units to Matthew M. Mannelly.
The restricted common stock units granted to Directors will vest in their entirety one year after the date of grant so long as the membership on the Board of Directors continues through the vesting date, with the settlement in common stock to occur on the earliest of the director's death, disability or six month anniversary of the date on which the director's Board membership ceases for reasons other than death or disability. The restricted common stock units granted to employees generally vest in their entirety on the 3-year anniversary of the date of the grant. Upon vesting, the units will be settled in shares of our common stock. The fair value of the restricted common stock units is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the day of grant. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted shares granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $13.59 and $11.35, respectively.

Options
The Plan provides that the exercise price of options granted shall be no less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the options are granted. Options granted have a term of no greater than 10 years from the date of grant and vest in accordance with a schedule determined at the time the option is granted, generally 3 to 5 years. The option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined 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 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 option. On May 9, 2012, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted stock options to acquire 422,962 shares of our common stock to certain executive officers and employees under the Plan. These stock options were granted at an exercise price of $13.24 per share, which is equal to the closing price for our common stock on the day of the grant. On August 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted stock options to acquire 21,978 shares of our common stock to Matthew M. Mannelly. These stock options were granted at an exercise price of $15.66 per share, which is equal to the closing price for our common stock on the date of grant. The stock options will vest 33.3% per year over three years and are exercisable for up to ten years from the date of grant.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $6.03 and $5.83, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised in the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $8.8 million. The aggregate intrinsic value at December 31, 2012 for options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $3.0 million.
At December 31, 2012, there were $4.0 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested 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 0.9 years. The total fair value of options and restricted shares vested during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $2.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, cash received from the exercise of stock options was $5.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and we realized $9.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in tax benefits for the tax deductions resulting from these option exercises. At December 31, 2012, there were 1.9 million shares available for issuance under the Plan.
16. | Income Taxes |
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 tax rate used in the calculation of income taxes was 38.9% and 38.7%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The effective tax rate used in the calculation of income taxes was 38.9% and 38.3%, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 is primarily due to higher state income taxes and non-deductible compensation.
At December 31, 2012, a wholly-owned subsidiary had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1.2 million, which may be used to offset future taxable income of the consolidated group and which begins to expire in 2020. The net operating loss carryforward is subject to an annual limitation as to usage of approximately $0.2 million pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
We experienced a small reduction in our uncertain tax liability during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Therefore, the balance in our uncertain tax liability was $0.2 million at December 31, 2012 and $0.3 million at March 31, 2012. 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.
-20-
17. | Commitments and Contingencies |
We are involved from time to time in routine 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, cash flows or results from operations.
Lease Commitments
We have operating leases for office facilities and equipment in New York and Wyoming, which expire at various dates through 2018. Due to the recent acquisition of the GSK Brands, we required additional office space and entered into a 5.5 year lease for a new office facility in New York, which began in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. In May 2012, we also entered into a 3 year office lease in Rogers, Arkansas. These amounts have been included in the schedule below.
The following summarizes future minimum lease payments for our operating leases as of December 31, 2012:

Purchase Commitments
Effective November 1, 2009, we entered into a 10 year supply agreement for the exclusive manufacture of a portion of one of our Household Cleaning products. Although we are committed under the supply agreement to pay the minimum amounts set forth in the table below, the total commitment is less than ten percent of the estimated purchases that we expect to make during the course of the agreement. Additionally, we entered into a short-term supply arrangement with one of our Canadian suppliers to provide a certain amount of product through January 2013. As such, we have included $3.2 million of purchase commitments in the remaining three months ended March 31, 2013.

18. | Concentrations of Risk |
Our revenues are concentrated in the areas of OTC Healthcare and Household Cleaning products. We sell our products to mass merchandisers, food and drug stores, and dollar and club stores. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, approximately 40.3% and 40.7%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived from our five top selling brands. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, approximately 55.0% and 54.8%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived from our five top selling brands. One customer, Walmart, accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues for each of the periods presented. Such customer accounted for approximately 15.3% and 16.6%, respectively, of our gross revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, and approximately 20.9% and 19.1%, respectively, of our gross revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, approximately 23.6% of accounts receivable were owed by the same customer.
We manage product distribution in the continental United States through a third-party distribution center in St. Louis, Missouri. A serious disruption, such as a flood or fire, to the main distribution center could damage our inventories and could materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. We could 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 us to reopen or replace our distribution center. As a result, any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, sales and profitability.
At December 31, 2012, we had relationships with 62 third-party manufacturers. Of those, we had long-term contracts with 24 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 77.1% of gross sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011, we had relationships with 52 third-party manufacturers. Of those, we had long-term contracts with 15 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 66.7% of gross sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means they could cease producing 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, financial condition, cash flows and results from operations.

20. | Gain on Settlement |
On June 15, 2011, we received a settlement payment of $8.0 million in the resolution of pending litigation, which Prestige Brands, Inc. had initiated for legal malpractice, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty against a law firm and two individual lawyers who had previously provided legal representation to Prestige Brands, Inc.
Because the result of the litigation could only have resulted in a potential gain and the amount could not be determined prior to the settlement, the settlement payment was not disclosed prior to the actual receipt of the settlement. Additionally, the costs netted against the gain during the period ended June 30, 2011 were legal fees paid solely on a contingent basis and other immaterial legal fees incurred in the period ended June 30, 2011. All other costs and legal fees that were incurred prior to the period ended June 30, 2011 were immaterial and expensed as incurred.
We incurred costs of $2.9 million in pursuing this matter. Therefore, we recorded a pre-tax gain on settlement of $5.1 million net of costs incurred and $3.2 million after income tax effects for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The $5.1 million pre-tax gain is included in other (income) expense, as this gain did not relate to our ongoing operations.

21. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
As described in Note 10, Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., together with certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, have fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, the obligations of Prestige Brands, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) set forth in the indentures governing the 2012 Senior Notes and the 2010 Senior Notes, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay principal and interest with respect to the 2012 Senior Notes and the 2010 Senior Notes. The wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company that have guaranteed the 2012 Senior Notes and the 2010 Senior Notes are as follows: Prestige Personal Care Holdings, Inc., Prestige Personal Care, Inc., Prestige Services Corp., Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (a Virginia corporation), Prestige Brands International, Inc., Medtech Holdings, Inc., Medtech Products Inc., The Cutex Company, The Denorex Company, The Spic and Span Company, and Blacksmith Brands, Inc. (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). A significant portion of our operating income and cash flow is generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet Prestige Brands, Inc.'s debt service obligations are provided in part by distributions or advances from our subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, contractual and legal restrictions, as well as the financial condition and operating requirements of our subsidiaries, could limit Prestige Brands, Inc.'s ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries for the purpose of meeting our debt service obligations, including the payment of principal and interest on the 2012 Senior Notes and the 2010 Senior Notes. Although holders of the 2012 Senior Notes and the 2010 Senior Notes will be direct creditors of the guarantors of the 2012 Senior Notes and the 2010 Senior Notes by virtue of the guarantees, we have indirect subsidiaries located primarily in the United Kingdom and in the Netherlands (collectively, the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") that have not guaranteed the 2012 Senior Notes or the 2010 Senior Notes, and such subsidiaries will not be obligated with respect to the 2012 Senior Notes or the 2010 Senior Notes. As a result, the claims of creditors of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries will effectively have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such companies over the claims of the holders of the 2012 Senior Notes and the 2010 Senior Notes.
Presented below are supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, Condensed Consolidating Income and Comprehensive Income Statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Such consolidating information includes separate columns for:
a) Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., the parent,
b) Prestige Brands, Inc., the issuer,
c) Combined Subsidiary Guarantors,
d) Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, and
e) Elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Company and all of its subsidiaries.
The Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented using the equity method of accounting for investments in wholly-owned subsidiaries. Under the equity method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for our share of the subsidiaries' cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other equity changes. The elimination entries principally eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The financial information in this note should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements presented and other notes related thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company determined that in prior periods it had incorrectly recorded intercompany transactions between Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. ("the Parent") and Prestige Brands, Inc. ("the Issuer") as a component of interest expense, resulting in (i) the misclassification of amounts between interest expense, equity in income of subsidiaries, and taxes of the Parent, and (ii) a corresponding understatement of interest income, taxes and net income of the Issuer. It was further determined that certain subsidiaries of the Issuer had been fully consolidated by the Issuer in error, resulting in (i) a gross-up of the Issuer's balance sheet, statement of income and comprehensive income and statement of cash flows and (ii) the need to revise the presentation to reflect the Issuer's interests in those subsidiaries under the equity method. Those entities had previously been incorrectly included in the Issuer column and omitted from the Guarantor column, and accordingly, this resulted in a need to revise the presentation to include the balance sheet, results of operations, and cash flows of those Issuer subsidiary entities in the Combined Subsidiary Guarantors column of the revised condensed consolidating financial statements. In addition, the Company reclassified portions of its intercompany activity between operating and financing in the statement of cash flows. The Company also determined that it had incorrectly presented certain intercompany balances between the Parent, the Issuer, the Combined Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-Guarantors resulting in revisions impacting other accrued liabilities, deferred income taxes, provision (benefit) for income taxes, intercompany receivables, intercompany payables, investment in subsidiaries and total equity balances. Additionally, certain revisions have been made to the Company's Condensed Consolidating Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the provision for income taxes was increased approximately $4.3 million to $0.6 million for the Parent, and the benefit for income taxes was increased approximately $4.4 million to $3.0 million for the Issuer.
The Company has revised its Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements to correct the presentation of these items. There were no changes to any of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company assessed the materiality of these items on previously issued annual and interim financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and No. 108, and concluded that the revisions were not material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company will disclose the impact of the revisions on previously reported amounts and accordingly revise the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for comparative periods in its future filings. The impact of these revisions as of March 31, 2012 and for each of the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011 are shown in the following tables:

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 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, 2012. 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, 2012, as well as those described in Part II, Item 1A., "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in future reports filed with the SEC.

General
We are engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of brand name over-the-counter ("OTC") healthcare and household cleaning products to mass merchandisers, drug stores, supermarkets and dollar and club stores primarily in the United States and Canada and in 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 as a competitive advantage to grow our presence in these categories and, as a result, grow our sales and profits.
We have grown our product 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 companies. 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 significant opportunities for us to reinvigorate these brands and improve their performance post-acquisition. After adding a 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. This is achieved through increased spending on advertising and promotional support, new sales and marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations and innovative development of brand extensions.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisition of GlaxoSmithKline OTC Brands
On December 20, 2011, we entered into two separate agreements with GlaxoSmithKline plc (“GSK”) to acquire a total of 17 North American OTC Healthcare brands (the "GSK Brands") for $660.0 million in cash (the "GSK Agreement").
On January 31, 2012, we completed, subject to a post-closing inventory and apportionment adjustment, as defined in the GSK agreement, the acquisition of 15 North American OTC healthcare brands previously owned by GSK and its affiliates (the “GSK Brands I”) for $615.0 million in cash, including the related contracts, trademarks and inventory. The GSK Brands I include, among other brands, BC, Goody's and Ecotrin brands of pain relievers; Beano, Gaviscon, Phazyme, Tagamet and Fiber Choice gastrointestinal brands; and the Sominex sleep aid brand. We acquired the GSK Brands I pursuant to the terms of the GSK Agreement.
On March 30, 2012, we completed, subject to a post-closing inventory and apportionment adjustment, as defined in the GSK Agreement, the acquisition of the Debrox and Gly-Oxide brands (the “GSK Brands II”) in the United States for $45.0 million in cash, including the related contracts, trademarks and inventory.
Both the GSK Brands I and GSK Brands II are complementary to our existing OTC Healthcare portfolio.
These acquisitions were accounted for in accordance with the Business Combinations topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which requires that the total cost of an acquisition be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.
The purchase price of the GSK Brands I and GSK Brands II was funded by cash provided by the issuance of long-term debt and additional bank borrowings, which are discussed further in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In April 2012, we received the post-closing inventory and apportionment adjustments, which required an additional $2.8 million to be paid to GSK, and in May 2012 we received a revised post-closing inventory and apportionment adjustment, which required an additional $0.2 million, for a total of $3.0 million, to be paid to GSK.

Concurrent with the closing of the GSK Brands I transaction, we entered into a Transitional Services Agreement with GSK (the “TSA”), whereby GSK provided us with various services including: marketing, operations, finance and other services from the GSK Brands I acquisition date primarily through June 30, 2012, with additional finance support through August 31, 2012. As part of the TSA, GSK, among other things, shipped products, invoiced customers, collected from customers and paid certain vendors on our behalf. Our initial costs under the TSA were approximately $2.5 million per month for the length of the agreement and were reduced during the service period as we removed certain services and transitioned these processes to us. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, we incurred zero and $6.9 million, respectively, in TSA costs. Pursuant to this arrangement, we received on a monthly basis the amount owed to us for revenues and expenses, net of GSK's TSA fees and inventory that GSK purchased on our behalf.
The allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired is based on a valuation we performed to determine the fair value of such assets as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes our allocation of the $663.0 million purchase price to the assets we acquired at the GSK Brands I and GSK Brands II (collectively, the “GSK Brands”) acquisition dates:
(In thousands) | GSK Brands I (January 31, 2012) | GSK Brands II (March 30, 2012) | Total | |||||||||

Total purchase price | $ | 578,688 | $ | 84,338 | $ | 663,026 |
We recorded goodwill based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of assets acquired. The amount of goodwill deductible for tax purposes is $20.2 million.
The fair value of the trade names is comprised of $556.9 million of non-amortizable intangible assets and $67.2 million of amortizable intangible assets. We are amortizing the purchased amortizable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over an estimated weighted average useful life of 19.3 years. The weighted average remaining life for amortizable intangible assets at December 31, 2012 was 18.2 years.
The operating results of the GSK Brands I have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from February 1, 2012, while the operating results of the GSK Brands II are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning April 1, 2012. Revenues of the acquired operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 were $56.9 million and $159.9 million, respectively, and net income was $8.7 million and $18.4 million, respectively.
Sale of the Phazyme Brand
On October 31, 2012, we divested the Phazyme gas treatment brand, which was a non-core OTC brand that we acquired from GSK in January 2012. We received $21.7 million on October 31, 2012 and the remaining $0.6 million was received on January 4, 2013. The proceeds were used to repay debt. No significant gain or loss was recorded as a result of the sale.
Concurrent with the completion of the sale of the Phazyme brand, we entered into a Transitional Services Agreement with the buyer (the “Phazyme TSA”), whereby we agreed to provide the buyer with various services including: marketing, operations, finance and other services from the date of the acquisition date primarily through January 31, 2013, with additional support for the Canadian portion of that business through March 31, 2013, which may be extended, at the buyer's option, through October 31, 2013 for which fees will be negotiated at such time. As part of the Phazyme TSA, we, among other things, ship products, invoice customers, collect from customers and pay certain vendors on the buyer's behalf. During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we earned $0.1 million from fees under the Phazyme TSA.

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $160.2 million, an increase of $54.0 million, or 50.8%, versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in revenues reflects the inclusion of the brands acquired from GSK in January 2012. The GSK Brands added $56.9 million in revenues, but were partially offset by reduced revenues from our legacy OTC Healthcare segment. The total OTC Healthcare revenue increase was slightly offset by lower revenues in our Household Cleaning segment. Revenues from customers outside of North America, which represent 2.8% of total revenues, increased by $0.4 million or 10.4%, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2011.
OTC Healthcare Segment
Revenues for the OTC Healthcare segment increased $54.1 million, or 63.7%, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the GSK Brands in 2012, which added $56.9 million in revenues. This increase was partially offset by decreased revenues for the legacy core cough cold brands, which experienced a shift in sales to the second quarter of 2013 from the current quarter due in part to the timing of certain promotional allowances.
Household Cleaning Segment
Revenues for the Household Cleaning segment decreased slightly by $0.1 million, or 0.7%, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Cost of sales increased $24.1 million, or 47.2% during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. As a percent of total revenue, cost of sales decreased to 47.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2012 from 48.1% in the three months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in cost of sales as a percent of revenues was primarily due to the change in product mix associated with the acquired GSK Brands, which have a lower cost of sales than the legacy OTC Healthcare brands, and to the higher overall mix of OTC Healthcare brands, which have a lower cost of sales than our Household Cleaning brands.
OTC Healthcare Segment
Cost of sales for the OTC Healthcare segment increased $24.1 million, or 68.1%, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. As a percent of OTC Healthcare revenues, cost of sales in the OTC Healthcare segment increased from 41.6% during the three months ended December 31, 2011 to 42.7% during the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is primarily attributable to lower revenues associated with our legacy OTC Healthcare brands due primarily to the timing of promotional allowances, slightly offset by the acquired GSK Brands, which have a lower cost of sales than our legacy OTC Healthcare brands.
Household Cleaning Segment
Cost of sales for the Household Cleaning segment was essentially unchanged during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. As a percent of Household Cleaning revenues, cost of sales increased from 74.0% during the three months ended December 31, 2011 to 74.8% during the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in the cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was the result of slightly lower revenues resulting from higher customer promotional allowances.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2012 increased $29.9 million, or 54.2%, when compared with the three months ended December 31, 2011. As a percent of total revenues, gross profit increased from 51.9% in the three months ended December 31, 2011 to 53.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2012. The higher gross profit was primarily the result of the GSK Brands, which increased gross profit by $33.1 million, partially offset by gross profit decreases in our legacy OTC Healthcare brands and our Household Cleaning segment. The increase in gross profit as a percent of revenues is primarily due to the acquisition of GSK Brands, partially offset by higher promotional allowances in both our legacy OTC Healthcare brands and our Household Cleaning segment.
OTC Healthcare Segment
Gross profit for the OTC Healthcare segment increased $30.1 million, or 60.7%, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. As a percent of OTC Healthcare revenues, gross profit decreased from 58.4% during the three months ended December 31, 2011 to 57.3% during the three months ended December 31, 2012. The higher gross profit was primarily the result of the acquisition of the GSK Brands, which increased gross profit by $33.1 million, partially offset by gross profit decreases in our legacy OTC Healthcare brands. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of revenues is primarily due to higher planned promotional allowances in our legacy OTC Healthcare brands, partially offset by higher margins on the acquired GSK Brands.
Household Cleaning Segment
Gross profit for the Household Cleaning segment decreased by $0.2 million, or 3.6%, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. As a percent of Household Cleaning revenue, gross profit decreased from 26.0% during the three months ended December 31, 2011 to 25.2% during the three months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of the slightly lower revenues primarily due to higher promotional allowances in the Household Cleaning segment.

Contribution margin, a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined as gross profit less advertising and promotional expenses, increased $21.6 million, or 54.2%, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. The contribution margin increase was primarily the result of the higher gross profit related to the acquired GSK Brands as previously discussed, partially offset by lower contribution margins in the legacy OTC Healthcare brands and Household Cleaning segment. The acquired GSK Brands added $24.3 million to the contribution margin for the three months ended December 31, 2012.
OTC Healthcare Segment
Contribution margin for the OTC Healthcare segment increased $21.8 million, or 61.7%, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. The contribution margin increase was primarily the result of the $24.3 million contribution margin increase related to the acquired GSK Brands, offset by the legacy OTC Healthcare business. Advertising and promotional spending increased $8.2 million, or 58.2%, primarily to support the acquired GSK Brands and the legacy OTC Healthcare brands.
Household Cleaning Segment
Contribution margin for the Household Cleaning segment decreased $0.2 million, or 5.0%, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus the three months ended December 31, 2011. The contribution margin decrease was the result of the decrease in gross profit as previously discussed. Advertising and promotional expense were relatively unchanged.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $11.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus $13.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to reduced acquisition and legal costs of $5.7 million incurred in the prior year associated with the GSK acquisition. This decrease was partially offset by higher compensation costs of $2.0 million associated with increased personnel, higher product regulatory and insurance expenses of $0.5 million and increased business development and consulting costs of $0.5 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in depreciation expense is primarily attributed to the amortization of the trademarks acquired related to the GSK Brands and to the new assets placed into service associated with our new office facility in New York.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $26.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012 versus $8.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of a higher level of indebtedness outstanding primarily related to the GSK Brands acquisition, and the acceleration of a portion of our deferred financing costs and debt discount on our 2012 Term Loan. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, we made significant payments toward our outstanding indebtedness under our 2012 Term Loan. As such, we accelerated the amortization of a portion of the deferred financing costs and the debt discount related to the 2012 Term Loan in the amount of $5.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The average cost of borrowing increased to 10.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from 7.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, this increase was attributed to the accelerated portion of the deferred financing costs and debt discount. The average indebtedness outstanding increased from $443.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011 to $1,047.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012, the increase in the average indebtedness outstanding is the result of the additional borrowings related to the acquisition of the GSK Brands in January 2012.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes during the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $7.8 million versus $6.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011. The effective tax rate during the three months ended December 31, 2012 was 38.9% versus 38.7% during the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to higher

state income taxes and non-deductible compensation. The estimated effective tax rate for the remaining quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 is expected to be 38.9%, excluding the impact of discrete items that may occur.

Household Cleaning Segment
Revenues for the Household Cleaning segment decreased by $5.9 million, or 8.2%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

Gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 increased $100.3 million, or 63.1%, when compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2011. As a percent of total revenues, gross profit increased from 51.7% in the nine months ended December 31, 2011 to 55.2% in the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The higher gross profit was primarily the result of the GSK Brands, which increased gross profit by $98.2 million, and gross profit increases in our legacy OTC Healthcare brands. This was partially offset by decreases in gross profit from our Household Cleaning segment, primarily Comet. The increase in gross profit as a percent of revenues is primarily due to the acquisition of GSK Brands, offset by higher promotional allowances in the Household Cleaning segment.
OTC Healthcare Segment
Gross profit for the OTC Healthcare segment increased $104.8 million, or 75.9%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus the nine months ended December 31, 2011. As a percent of OTC Healthcare revenues, gross profit increased from 58.7% during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 to 60.3% during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The higher gross profit was primarily the result of the acquisition of the GSK Brands, which increased gross profit by $98.2 million, and gross profit increases in our legacy OTC Healthcare brands of $6.6 million. The increase in gross profit as a percent of revenues is primarily due to higher margins on the acquired GSK Brands.
Household Cleaning Segment
Gross profit for the Household Cleaning segment decreased by $4.6 million, or 22.0%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus the nine months ended December 31, 2011. As a percent of Household Cleaning revenue, gross profit decreased from 29.0% during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 to 24.6% during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in gross profit percentage was the result of the lower revenues, attributable to the Comet and Spic and Span brands, primarily related to higher promotional allowances in the Household Cleaning segment.

Contribution margin, a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined as gross profit less advertising and promotional expenses, increased $71.5 million, or 59.4%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The contribution margin increase was primarily the result of the higher gross profit as previously discussed, offset by higher advertising and promotional costs in the OTC Healthcare segment. The acquired GSK Brands added $73.9 million to the
-42-
contribution margin, while the legacy OTC Healthcare business increases were more than offset by the Household Cleaning business.
OTC Healthcare Segment
Contribution margin for the OTC Healthcare segment increased $77.3 million, or 74.8%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The contribution margin increase was primarily the result of the $73.9 million contribution margin increase related to the acquired GSK Brands, while the legacy OTC Healthcare business added $3.4 million to the contribution margin. Advertising and promotional spending increased $27.6 million, or 79.3%, primarily to support the acquired GSK Brands and the legacy OTC Healthcare brands.
Household Cleaning Segment
Contribution margin for the Household Cleaning segment decreased $5.8 million, or 34.2%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The contribution margin decrease was the result of the decrease in gross profit, as previously discussed and increased advertising and promotional expense of $1.2 million, or 32.0%. The increase in advertising and promotional spending primarily related to consumer promotions.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $40.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus $32.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to $4.9 million of higher compensation costs associated with increased personnel, $4.1 million of excess TSA costs associated with the GSK Brands acquisition, higher product regulatory and insurance charges of $1.1 million, a lease termination charge of $1.1 million associated with our office relocation, higher public company charges of $0.9 million, warehouse relocation costs of $0.7 million and higher business development and consulting costs of $0.7 million. These additional costs were offset by a $6.6 million reduction in acquisition and legal costs related to the GSK acquisition reflected in the prior year's result.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $10.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus $7.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in depreciation expense is primarily attributed to the amortization of the trademarks acquired related to the GSK Brands and to the new assets placed into service associated with our new office facility in New York.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $66.2 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus $25.0 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of a higher level of indebtedness outstanding related to the GSK Brands acquisition and the acceleration of a portion of our deferred financing costs and debt discount on our 2012 Term Loan. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we made significant payments toward our outstanding indebtedness under our 2012 Term Loan. As such, we accelerated the amortization of a portion of the deferred financing costs and the debt discount related to the 2012 Term Loan in the amount of $5.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The average cost of funds increased to 8.1% for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 from 7.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, this increase was attributed to the accelerated portion of the deferred financing costs and debt discount. The average indebtedness outstanding increased from $463.0 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 to $1,088.3 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the increase in the average indebtedness outstanding is the result of the additional borrowings related to the acquisition of the GSK Brands in January 2012.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $29.4 million versus $23.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The effective tax rate during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was 38.9% versus 38.3% during the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to higher state income taxes and non-deductible compensation. The estimated effective tax rate for the remaining quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 is expected to be 38.9%, excluding the impact of discrete items that may occur.
Gain on Settlement
On June 15, 2011, we received a settlement payment of $8.0 million in resolution of a pending litigation matter. We incurred costs of $2.9 million in pursuing this matter, which we initiated for legal malpractice, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty against a law firm and two individual lawyers who had previously provided legal representation to us. Therefore, during the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded a pre-tax gain on settlement of $5.1 million net of costs incurred, which is included in other (income) expense, as this gain did not relate to our ongoing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We have financed and expect to continue to finance our operations with a combination of borrowings and funds generated from operations. Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, debt service, acquisitions, working capital and capital expenditures.
We entered into a 5.5 year lease for a new office facility in New York, which began on October 15, 2012. The New York office lease provides for a six month rent deferral with monthly rent payments beginning in May 2013 of approximately $78,000 and escalating to approximately $87,000 in the last two years of the lease.
On March 24, 2010, we entered into a $150.0 million senior secured term loan facility with a maturity date of March 24, 2016 (the "2010 Senior Term Loan"), a $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of March 24, 2015 (the "2010 Revolving Credit Facility" and collectively with the 2010 Senior Term Loan, the "2010 Credit Facility") and issued $150.0 million of senior notes that bear interest at 8.25% with a maturity date of April 1, 2018 (the "2010 Senior Notes").
In November 2010, we issued an additional $100.0 million of 2010 Senior Notes and borrowed an additional $115.0 million term loan under the 2010 Credit Facility. In addition, in November 2010, we amended our 2010 Credit Facility to increase our borrowing capacity under the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility by $10.0 million to $40.0 million. The proceeds from the preceding transactions, in addition to cash that was on hand, were used to purchase, redeem or otherwise retire all of the previously issued senior subordinated notes, to repay all amounts under our former credit facility and terminate the associated credit agreement, and to fund the Blacksmith and Dramamine acquisitions.
On January 31, 2012, we issued $250.0 million of 8.125% senior notes with a maturity date of February 1, 2020 (the “2012 Senior Notes”) and also entered into a new senior secured credit facility, which consists of (i) a $660.0 million term loan facility (the “2012 Term Loan”) with a seven-year maturity and (ii) a $50.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “2012 ABL Revolver”) with a five-year maturity. In September 2012, we utilized a portion of the accordion feature to increase the amount of our borrowing capacity under the 2012 ABL Revolver by $25.0 million to $75.0 million. We used the net proceeds from the 2012 Senior Notes offering, together with the borrowings under the 2012 Term Loan, to finance the acquisition of the GSK Brands, to repay amounts borrowed under the 2010 Credit Facility, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with these transactions and for general corporate purposes.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $100.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $48.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The $52.9 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the higher profitability of the Company, which was largely attributed to the acquired GSK Brands and increased working capital of $20.8 million. The working capital increase was mainly the result of increased accounts payable related to the procurement of inventory for the GSK Brands and higher accrued liabilities, which were mostly related to higher marketing accruals associated with the GSK Brands, higher accrued interest following our additional financing in January 2012 and higher accrued compensation costs. These working capital increases were partially offset by increased accounts receivable associated with the higher revenues.
Consistent with the nine months ended December 31, 2011, our cash flow from operations exceeded net income due to the substantial non-cash charges primarily related to depreciation and amortization, increases in deferred income tax liabilities resulting from differences in the amortization of intangible assets and goodwill for income tax purposes, the amortization of certain deferred financing costs and debt discount, lease termination costs and stock-based compensation costs.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $12.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $0.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was due primarily to the sale of the Phazyme brand and was offset by higher capital expenditures for leasehold improvements associated with the new corporate office lease and to higher equipment purchases primarily resulting from the increased personnel and systems requirements associated with the acquisition of the GSK Brands.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $122.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $57.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we repaid $167.5 million of our outstanding 2012 Term Loan debt, due to the cash generated from operating activities, and borrowed $40.0 million, net of
-44-
repayments on our 2012 ABL Revolver. This decreased our outstanding indebtedness to $1,007.5 million at December 31, 2012 from $1,135.0 million at March 31, 2012.

Capital Resources
The 2010 Senior Term Loan included a discount to the lenders of $1.8 million, resulting in our receipt of net proceeds of $148.2 million. The 2010 Senior Notes were issued at an aggregate face value of $150.0 million with a discount to note-holders of $2.2 million and net proceeds to us of $147.8 million. The discount was offered to improve the yield to maturity to lenders reflective of market conditions at the time of the offering. In addition to the discount, we incurred $7.3 million of costs primarily related to fees of bank arrangers and legal advisors, of which $6.6 million was capitalized as deferred financing costs and $0.7 million was expensed as incurred. The deferred financing costs were being amortized over the term of the loan and notes, and the balance was charged to expense upon the refinancing of the 2010 Credit Facility on January 31, 2012.
On November 1, 2010, in connection with the acquisition of Blacksmith, we amended our existing debt agreements and increased the amount borrowed thereunder. Specifically, on November 1, 2010, we amended our 2010 Credit Facility in order to allow us to (i) borrow an additional $115.0 million as an incremental term loan, with the same maturity date and other terms and conditions as the 2010 Senior Term Loan and (ii) increase our borrowing capacity under our 2010 Revolving Credit Facility by $10.0 million to $40.0 million. On November 1, 2010, we also issued an additional $100.0 million of 2010 Senior Notes.
On January 31, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of the GSK Brands, we (i) issued the 2012 Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million, (ii) entered into the 2012 Term Loan with a seven-year maturity and the 2012 ABL Revolver with a five-year maturity, and (iii) repaid in full and canceled the outstanding 2010 Credit Facility. 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 Company of $650.1 million. In addition to the discount, we incurred $33.3 million in issuance costs, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the terms of the related loans and notes.
During the three months ended December 31, 2012, as a result of our significant debt repayments, we accelerated a portion of the deferred financing costs and original issue discount related to our 2012 Term Loan. As a result, during the three months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a $7.7 million pre-tax charge to interest expense related to this non-cash acceleration. Of the $7.7 million, $3.0 million relates to the prior three quarters. Had the timing of the accelerated amortization been properly recorded, pre-tax earnings for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 would have been higher by $3.0 million ($1.9 million after tax or $0.03 per diluted share) and $1.1 million ($0.7 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share), respectively; pre-tax earnings in the first and second quarters of 2013 would have been lower by $1.2 million ($0.7 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted share) and $0.7 million ($0.5 million or $0.01 per diluted share), respectively; and pre-tax earnings in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the year-ended March 31, 2012 would have been lower by $1.1 million ($0.7 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share). We do not believe the amounts were material to the consolidated financial statements for any prior period and the cumulative amount is not material to the estimated results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2013. Furthermore, the adjustments had no impact to our cash flows from operations or total cash flows.
As of December 31, 2012, we had an aggregate of $1,007.5 million of outstanding indebtedness, which consisted of the following:
• | $250.0 million of 8.25% 2010 Senior Notes due 2018; |
• | $250.0 million of 8.125% 2012 Senior Notes due 2020; |
• | $467.5 million of borrowings under the 2012 Term Loan; and |
• | $40.0 million of borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver. |
As of December 31, 2012, we had $33.8 million of borrowing capacity under the 2012 ABL Revolver.
The 2012 Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00% and (d) a floor of 2.25% or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S.
-45-
dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs provided that LIBOR shall not be lower than 1.25%.
Borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin, plus, at our option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00% or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver is 1.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 0.75% with respect to base-rate borrowings. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver may be increased to 2.00% or 2.25% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.00% or 1.25% for base-rate borrowings, depending on average excess availability under the 2012 ABL Revolver during the prior fiscal quarter. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the 2012 ABL Revolver, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the 2012 ABL Revolver in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The initial commitment fee rate is 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate will be reduced to 0.375% per annum at any time when the average daily unused commitments for the prior quarter is less than a percentage of total commitments in an amount set forth in the credit agreement covering the 2012 ABL Revolver.
As we deem appropriate, we may from time to time utilize derivative financial instruments to mitigate the impact 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 derivative financial instruments outstanding at either December 31, 2012 or March 31, 2012 or during any of the periods presented. We have not entered into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes; all of our derivatives were over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets.
Our debt facilities contain various financial covenants, including provisions that require us to maintain certain leverage, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios. The new senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing the 2010 Senior Notes and the 2012 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 7.50 to 1.0 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 (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 3.50 to 1.0 for the quarter ending June 30, 2016, and remains level thereafter; |
• | Have an interest coverage ratio of greater than 1.5 to 1.0 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 (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 2.50 to 1.0 for the quarter ending June 30, 2016, and remains level thereafter; and |
• | Have a fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.0 to 1.0 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 (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 agreement. |
At December 31, 2012, 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 2010 Senior Notes and the 2012 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 ensuing year. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we made voluntary principal payments of $167.5 million against outstanding indebtedness under the 2012 Term Loan. Therefore we are not required to make quarterly principal payments until the maturity date of January 31, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special-purpose entities.
-46-
Inflation
Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of raw materials, packaging materials, purchased product and overhead may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial condition or results from operations for the periods referred to above, a high rate of inflation in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results from operations. The recent volatility in crude oil prices has had 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 may continue to have an adverse effect on our operating results.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. While all significant accounting policies are important to our Consolidated Financial Statements, certain of these policies may be viewed as being critical. Such policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, or the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based upon our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different conditions. The most critical accounting estimates are described below.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss, (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We have determined that these criteria are met and the transfer of risk of loss generally occurs when product is received by the customer and, accordingly, recognize revenue at that time. Provision is 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 is recorded as advertising and promotional expenses or as a reduction of sales based upon the nature of such items and the applicable accounting guidance. Such costs vary from period to period based on the actual number of units sold during a finite period of time. We estimate the cost of such promotional programs at their inception based on historical experience and current market conditions and reduce sales by such estimates. 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. Direct reimbursements of advertising costs are reflected as a reduction of advertising costs in the periods in which the reimbursement criteria are achieved. We do not provide incentives to customers for the acquisition of product in excess of normal inventory quantities, because such incentives increase the potential for future returns, as well as reduce sales in the subsequent fiscal periods.
Estimates of costs of 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. At the completion of the promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results. Our related promotional expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was $32.2 million. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, our related promotional expense was $9.0 million and $26.3 million, respectively. We believe that the estimation methodologies employed, combined with the nature of the promotional campaigns, make the likelihood remote that our obligation would be misstated by a material amount. However, for illustrative purposes, had we underestimated the promotional program rate by 10% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, our sales and operating income would have been adversely affected by approximately $3.2 million. Net income would have been adversely affected by approximately $1.9 million. Similarly, had we underestimated the promotional program rate by 10% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, our sales and operating income would have been adversely affected by approximately $0.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Net income would have been adversely affected by approximately $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012.
We also periodically run coupon programs in Sunday newspaper inserts, on our product website or as on-package instant redeemable coupons. We utilize a national clearinghouse to process coupons redeemed by customers. At the time a coupon is distributed, a provision is made based upon historical redemption rates for that particular product, information provided as a result of the clearinghouse's experience with coupons of similar dollar value, the length of time the coupon is valid, and the seasonality of the coupon drop, among other factors. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we had 127 coupon events. The amount recorded
-47-
against revenues and accrued for these events during the year was $7.2 million. Cash settlement of coupon redemptions during the year was $6.4 million. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, we had 75 and 212 coupon events, respectively. The increase in the coupon activity is primarily the result of the additional brands that we acquired from GSK. The amount recorded against revenue and accrued for these events during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $1.9 million and $7.7 million, respectively. Cash settlement of coupon redemptions during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $2.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
Allowances for Product Returns
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 the recording of sales. Such estimates are 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.
We construct our returns analysis by looking at the previous year's return history for each brand. Subsequently, each month, we estimate our current return rate based upon an average of the previous six months' return rate and review that calculated rate for reasonableness, giving consideration to the other factors described above. Our historical return rate has been relatively stable; for example, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, returns represented 2.9%, 2.7% and 3.8%, respectively, of gross sales. For the three and nine months December 31, 2012, product returns represented 3.7% and 2.8% of gross sales, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the allowance for sales returns was $4.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
While we utilize the methodology described above to estimate product returns, actual results may differ materially from our estimates, causing our future financial results to be adversely affected. Among the factors that could cause a material change in the estimated return rate would be significant unexpected returns with respect to a product or products that comprise a significant portion of our revenues. Based upon the methodology described above and our actual returns experience, management believes the likelihood of such an event remains remote. Over the last three years, our actual product return rate has stayed within a range of 2.5% to 3.8% of gross sales. However, a hypothetical increase of 0.1% in our estimated return rate as a percentage of gross sales would have adversely affected our reported sales and operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 by approximately $0.5 million. Net income would have been adversely affected by approximately $0.3 million. A hypothetical increase of 0.1% in our estimated return rate as a percentage of gross sales for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 would have adversely affected our reported sales and operating income by approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, while our net income would have been adversely affected by approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Lower of Cost or Market for Obsolete and Damaged Inventory
We value our inventory at the lower of cost or market value. Accordingly, we reduce our inventories for the diminution of value resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value. Factors utilized in the determination of estimated market value include (i) current sales data and historical return rates, (ii) estimates of future demand, (iii) competitive pricing pressures, (iv) new product introductions, (v) product expiration dates, and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.
Many of our products are subject to expiration dating. As a general rule, our customers will not accept goods with expiration dating of less than 12 months from the date of delivery. To monitor this risk, management utilizes a detailed compilation of inventory with expiration dating between zero and 15 months and reserves for 100% of the cost of any item with expiration dating of 12 months or less. Inventory obsolescence costs charged to operations were $3.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, while for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded obsolescence costs of $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. A hypothetical increase of 1.0% in our allowance for obsolescence at March 31, 2012 would have adversely affected our reported operating income and net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 by approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Similarly, a hypothetical increase of 1.0% in our obsolescence allowance for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 would have adversely affected our reported operating income by approximately $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, while our net income would have been adversely affected by approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million for each period, respectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the ordinary course of business, we grant non-interest bearing trade credit to our customers on normal credit terms. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, which is based upon our historical collection experience and expected collectability of the accounts receivable. In an effort to reduce our credit risk, we (i) establish credit limits for all of our customer relationships, (ii) perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition, (iii) monitor the payment history and aging of our customers' receivables, and (iv) monitor open orders against an individual customer's outstanding receivable balance.
-48-
We establish specific reserves for those accounts that file for bankruptcy, have no payment activity for 180 days or have reported major negative changes to their financial condition. The allowance for bad debts amounted to 1.0% and 1.1% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Bad debt expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was $0.2 million, while during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded bad debt expense of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
While management believes that it is diligent in its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, an unexpected event, such as the bankruptcy filing of a major customer, could have an adverse effect on our future financial results. A hypothetical increase of 0.1% in our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 would have resulted in a decrease in reported operating income of approximately $0.4 million and a decrease in our reported net income of approximately $0.3 million. Similarly, a hypothetical increase of 0.1% in our bad debt expense as a percentage of sales for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 would have resulted in a decrease in reported operating income of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and a decrease in our reported net income of less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Goodwill and intangible assets amounted to $1,543.5 million and $1,574.2 million at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2012, goodwill and intangible assets were apportioned among our two operating segments as follows:

Our Chloraseptic, Clear Eyes, Compound W, Dramamine, Efferdent, Luden's, PediaCare, BC, Goody's, Ecotrin, Beano, Gaviscon, Tagamet, Fiber Choice, Sominex and Debrox brands comprise the majority of the value of the intangible assets within the OTC
-49-
Healthcare segment. The Chore Boy, Comet, and Spic and Span brands comprise substantially all of the intangible asset value within the Household Cleaning segment.
On October 31, 2012, we sold Phazyme, a non-core OTC brand. As a result of this divestiture, we reduced the net book value of our intangible assets by $15.6 million. Also, as a result of the divestiture of Phazyme, we reduced goodwill by $6.4 million.
Goodwill and intangible assets comprise substantially all of our assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a purchase business combination. Intangible assets generally represent our trademarks, brand names and patents. When we acquire a brand, we are required to make judgments regarding the value assigned to the associated intangible assets, as well as their respective useful lives. Management considers many factors both prior to and after the acquisition of an intangible asset in determining the value, as well as the useful life, assigned to each intangible asset that we acquire or continue to own and promote. The most significant factors are:
• | Brand History |
A brand that has been in existence for a long period of time (e.g., 25, 50 or 100 years) generally warrants a higher valuation and longer life (sometimes indefinite) than a brand that has been in existence for a very short period of time. A brand that has been in existence for an extended period of time generally has been the subject of considerable investment by its previous owner(s) to support product innovation and advertising and promotion.
• | Market Position |
Consumer products that rank number one or two in their respective market generally have greater name recognition and are known as quality product offerings, which warrant a higher valuation and longer life than products that lag in the marketplace.
• | Recent and Projected Sales Growth |
Recent sales results present a snapshot as to how the brand has performed in the most recent time periods and represent another factor in the determination of brand value. In addition, projected sales growth provides information about the strength and potential longevity of the brand. A brand that has both strong current and projected sales generally warrants a higher valuation and a longer life than a brand that has weak or declining sales. Similarly, consideration is given to the potential investment, in the form of advertising and promotion that is required to reinvigorate a brand that has fallen from favor.
• | History of and Potential for Product Extensions |
Consideration also is given to the product innovation that has occurred during the brand's history and the potential for continued product innovation that will determine the brand's future. Brands that can be continually enhanced by new product offerings generally warrant a higher valuation and longer life than a brand that has always “followed the leader”.
After consideration of the factors described above, as well as current economic conditions and changing consumer behavior, management prepares a determination of the intangible assets' values and useful lives based on its analysis. 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. In a similar manner, indefinite-lived assets are no longer amortized. They are also subject to an annual impairment test, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. 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 must also be 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 of each year, or more frequently if conditions indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recovered, management performs a review of both the values and, if applicable, useful lives assigned to goodwill and intangible assets and tests for impairment.
We report goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in two operating segments: OTC Healthcare and Household Cleaning. We identify our reporting units in accordance with the FASB ASC Subtopic 280-10, which is at the brand level, and one level below the operating segment level. The carrying value and fair value for intangible assets and goodwill for a reporting unit are calculated based on the key assumptions and valuation methodologies previously discussed. As a result, any material changes to these assumptions could require us to record additional impairment in the future.
-50-
Goodwill
As of March 31, 2012, we had 15 reporting units with goodwill, including six reporting units resulting from the acquisition of the GSK Brands. The aggregate fair value exceeded the carrying value by 29.1%. Since the acquisition of the GSK Brands occurred recently, the fair value of these reporting units approximates the carrying value. For the remaining reporting units, no individual reporting unit's fair value exceeded its carrying value by less than 5.0%.
As part of our annual test for impairment of goodwill, management estimates the discounted cash flows of each reporting unit, which is at the brand level, and one level below the operating segment level, to estimate their respective fair values. In performing this analysis, management considers the same types of information as listed below with regard to finite-lived intangible assets. In the event that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, management would then be required to allocate the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the unit was acquired in a business combination, thereby revaluing the carrying amount of goodwill. Future events, such as competition, technological advances and reductions in advertising support for our trademarks and trade names, could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions and we may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future. However, no impairment charge was recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2012.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
In a manner similar to finite-lived intangible assets, at each reporting period, management analyzes current events and circumstances to determine whether the indefinite life classification for a trademark or trade name continues to be valid. If circumstances warrant a change to a finite life, the carrying value of the intangible asset would then be amortized prospectively over the estimated remaining useful life.
Management tests the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the intangible asset to its estimated fair value. Since quoted market prices are seldom available for trademarks and trade names such as ours, we utilize present value techniques to estimate fair value. Accordingly, management's projections are utilized to assimilate all of the facts, circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or trade name and estimate the cash flows over its useful life. In performing this analysis, management considers the same types of information as listed below with regard to finite-lived intangible assets. Once that analysis is completed, a discount rate is applied to the cash flows to estimate fair value. In a manner similar to goodwill, future events, such as competition, technological advances and reductions in advertising support for our trademarks and trade names, could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.
Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
As mentioned above, when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, management performs a review to ascertain the impact of events and circumstances on the estimated useful lives and carrying values of our trademarks and trade names. In connection with this analysis, management:
• | Reviews period-to-period sales and profitability by brand; |
• | Analyzes industry trends and projects brand growth rates; |
• | Prepares annual sales forecasts; |
• | Evaluates advertising effectiveness; |
• | Analyzes gross margins; |
• | Reviews contractual benefits or limitations; |
• | Monitors competitors' advertising spend and product innovation; |
• | Prepares projections to measure brand viability over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset; and |
• | Considers the regulatory environment, as well as industry litigation. |
If analysis of any of the aforementioned factors warrants a change in the estimated useful life of the intangible asset, management will reduce the estimated useful life and amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life. Management's projections are utilized to assimilate all of the facts, circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or trade name and estimate the cash flows over its useful life. In the event that the long-term projections indicate that the carrying value is in excess of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the intangible assets, management is required to record an impairment charge. Once that analysis is completed, a discount rate is applied to the cash flows to estimate fair value. The impairment charge is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the intangible asset over fair value, as calculated using the discounted cash flow analysis. Future events, such as competition, technological advances and reductions in advertising support for our trademarks and trade names, could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.
Impairment Analysis
We estimate the fair value of our intangible assets and goodwill using a discounted cash flow method. This discounted cash flow methodology is a widely-accepted valuation technique to estimate fair value utilized by market participants in the transaction
-51-
evaluation process and has been applied consistently. In addition, we considered our market capitalization at March 31, 2012, 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. As a result of our analysis, we did not record an impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
The discount rate utilized in the analysis, as well as future cash flows, may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation. Additionally, should the related fair values of goodwill and intangible assets continue to be adversely affected as a result of declining sales or margins caused by competition, changing consumer preferences, technological advances or reductions in advertising and promotional expenses, we may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future. However, no impairment charge was recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2012.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Compensation and Equity topic of the FASB ASC requires us to measure the cost of services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of an equity award. Compensation expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally referred to as the requisite service period. Information utilized in the determination of fair value includes the following:
• | Type of instrument (i.e., restricted shares vs. an option, warrant or performance shares); |
• | Strike price of the instrument; |
• | Market price of our common stock on the date of grant; |
• | Discount rates; |
• | Duration of the instrument; and |
• | Volatility of our common stock in the public market. |
Additionally, management must estimate the expected attrition rate of the recipients to enable it to estimate the amount of non-cash compensation expense to be recorded in our financial statements. While management uses diligent analysis to estimate the respective variables, a change in assumptions or market conditions, as well as changes in the anticipated attrition rates, could have a significant impact on the future amounts recorded as non-cash compensation expense. We recorded non-cash compensation expense of $3.0 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Loss Contingencies
Loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such loss is reasonably estimable. Contingent losses are often resolved over longer periods of time and involve many factors, including:
• | Rules and regulations promulgated by regulatory agencies; |
• | Sufficiency of the evidence in support of our position; |
• | Anticipated costs to support our position; and |
• | Likelihood of a positive outcome. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance regarding testing the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The new guidance is intended to simplify how entities test impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test described in the ASC Intangibles-Goodwill and Other topic. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position, as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. An entity will be required to disclose the following information for assets and liabilities within the scope of the new standard: (i) the gross amounts of those recognized assets and those recognized liabilities; (ii) the amounts offset to determine the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; (iii) the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; (iv) the amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement not otherwise included in (ii); and (v) the net amount after deducting the amounts in (iv) from the amounts in (iii). The standard affects all entities
-52-
with balances presented on a net basis in the financial statements, derivative assets and derivative liabilities, repurchase agreements, and financial assets and financial liabilities executed under a master netting or similar arrangement. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, our arrangement with GSK, as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, provided that, during the term of the arrangement, we would receive a net monthly remittance and, therefore we have reported a net amount due from GSK in our accounts receivable at March 31, 2012 of $8.4 million. Since this arrangement ended on June 30, 2012, we do not have any amounts due from GSK included in our accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding presentation of comprehensive income. Under the ASC Comprehensive Income topic, entities are allowed the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This guidance does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance to defer the new requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. Based on this guidance, entities are still required to adopt either the single continuous statement or the two-statement approach required by the new guidance. However, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the requirements in effect before the adoption of the new standard (i.e., by component of other comprehensive income, either by displaying each component on a gross basis on the face of the appropriate financial statement or by displaying each component net of other changes on the face of the appropriate financial statement with the gross change disclosed in the notes). The new guidance and this deferral were effective for the Company beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2012, and full retrospective application is required. The December 2011 deferral of the guidance issued in June 2011, as well as the June 2011 guidance, are effective at the same time. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding testing goodwill for impairment. The new guidance is intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in the ASC Intangibles-Goodwill and Other topic. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management has reviewed and continues to monitor the actions of the various financial and regulatory reporting agencies and is currently not aware of any other pronouncement that could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

-54-
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are exposed to changes in interest rates because our 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver are variable rate debt. 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 December 31, 2012, we had variable rate debt of approximately $467.5 million under our 2012 Term Loan and $40.0 million under our 2012 ABL Revolver.
Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one percentage point 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 nine months ended December 31, 2012 of approximately $1.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
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 (“Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2012. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, 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
There have been no changes during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. | OTHER INFORMATION |
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risk factors set forth below and the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K 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. The information below amends, updates and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.
The high level of competition in our industry, much of which comes from competitors with greater resources, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results from operations.
The business of selling brand name consumer products in the OTC Healthcare and Household Cleaning categories is highly
competitive. These markets include numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers that actively compete for
consumers’ business both in the United States and abroad. Many of these competitors are larger and have substantially greater
resources than we do, and may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively on research and development, advertising
and marketing, and to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions. If this were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results from operations.
We compete for customers’ attention based on a number of factors, including brand recognition, product quality, performance,
price and product availability at the retail level. Advertising, promotion, merchandising and packaging, the timing of new product introductions and line extensions, and the timing of the reintroduction of competitors' products that have had supply issues also have a significant impact on consumer buying decisions and, as a result, on our sales. The structure and quality of our sales force, as well as sell-through of our products affect the continued listing of our products, in-store position, wall display space and inventory levels in retail stores. If we are unable to maintain our current distribution network, product listings in retail stores, inventory
-55-
levels and in-store positioning of our products at our customers, our sales and operating results will be adversely affected. Our markets also are highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. An increase in the number of product innovations by our competitors or the failure of a new product launch by the Company could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results from operations.
In addition, competitors may attempt to gain market share by offering products at prices at or below those typically offered by
us. Competitive pricing may require us to reduce prices which may result in lost sales or a reduction of our profit margins. Future price adjustments, product changes or new product introductions by our competitors or our inability to react with price adjustments, product changes or new product introductions of our own could result in a loss of market share which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results from operations.
Our business has been and could continue to be adversely affected by a prolonged recession.
The economic uncertainty surrounding the current recession has affected and could continue to materially affect our business because such economic challenges could adversely affect consumers, our customers and suppliers. Specifically:
• | Consumer spending may continue to be curtailed, resulting in downward pressure on our sales; |
• | Our customers may continue to ration the number of products that reach store shelves, resulting in a reduction of the number of products that are carried at retail, particularly those that are not number one or two in their category; |
• | Our customers may continue to reduce overall inventory levels to strengthen their working capital positions, which could result in additional sales reductions for us during those periods in which our customers implement such strategies; |
• | Our customers may continue to increase the number and breadth of products that are sold via their “private label” to the detriment of our branded products; |
• | Our customers may continue to reduce store count by closing additional marginally performing stores resulting in sales reductions, potential working capital reductions, and an inability to repay amounts owed to us; and |
• | Our suppliers may suffer from sales reductions, which could diminish their working capital, impede their ability to provide product to us in a timely manner or in sufficient quantities, and result in an increase in prices. |
In particular, one third party manufacturer that produces products for one of our brands sold internationally has filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result of that and a shortage of certain raw materials, we have been unable to obtain sufficient quantities of some of the products provided by this manufacturer, which has had an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although this manufacturer has committed to continue supplying us with product through February 2013 while we arrange for an alternate supplier, we have not yet been able to obtain sufficient quantities of some of the products. In addition, the manufacturer has substantially increased our cost for these products, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We depend on third-party manufacturers to produce at high quality the products we sell. If we are unable to maintain these manufacturing relationships or fail to enter into additional relationships, as necessary, we may be unable to meet customer demand and our sales and profitability could suffer as a result.
All of our products are produced by third-party manufacturers. Our ability to retain our current manufacturing relationships and engage in and successfully transition to new relationships is critical to our ability to deliver quality products to our customers in a timely manner. Without adequate supplies of quality merchandise, sales would decrease materially and our business would suffer. In the event that our primary third-party manufacturers are unable or unwilling to ship products to us in a timely manner, we would have to rely on secondary manufacturing relationships or identify and qualify new manufacturing relationships. We might not be able to identify or qualify such manufacturers for existing or new products in a timely manner and such manufacturers may not allocate sufficient capacity to us in order that we may meet our commitments to customers. In addition, identifying alternative manufacturers without adequate lead times can compromise required product validation and stability protocol, which may involve additional manufacturing expense, delay in production or product disadvantage in the marketplace. In general, the consequences of not securing adequate, high quality and timely supplies of merchandise would negatively impact inventory levels, sales and gross margins, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results from operations.

The manufacturers we use may also increase the cost of the products we purchase, which could adversely affect our margins in the event we are unable to pass along these increased costs to our customers. A situation such as this could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results from operations.
At December 31, 2012, we had relationships with 62 third-party manufacturers. Of those, we had long-term contracts with 24 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 77.1% of gross sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means they could cease producing 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, financial condition and results from operations.
Product liability claims and product recalls and related negative publicity could adversely affect our sales and operating results.
We may be required to pay for losses or injuries purportedly caused by our products. From time to time we are subjected to various product liability claims. Claims could be based on allegations that, among other things, our products contain contaminants, include inadequate instructions or warnings regarding their use or inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. Any product liability claims may result in negative publicity that may adversely affect our sales and operating results. Also, if one of our products is found to be defective, we may be required to recall it, which we have done on several recent occasions. Recalls may result in substantial costs and negative publicity, as well as negatively impact inventory levels which may adversely affect our business, sales and operating results.
Although we maintain, and require our suppliers and third-party manufacturers to maintain, product liability insurance coverage, potential product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or may be excluded under the terms of the policy, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results from operations. In addition, in the future we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage or we may be required to pay higher premiums and accept higher deductibles in order to secure adequate insurance coverage.
