Edgewell Personal Care Company—the personal care business of Energizer Holdings—has begun operating as a standalone business today, including "regular-way" trading on the New York Stock Exchange NYSE under the ticker symbol "EPC."
"This is a historic day for Edgewell. The completion of the separation provides us with the opportunity to focus on our core strengths across all business units," said David Hatfield, CEO of Edgewell. "We are excited about Edgewell's prospects, as we leverage our strong brands and build upon leading positions across various categories. As a company now solely dedicated to Personal Care, we will focus on accelerating top line growth, and increasing our emphasis on insight, innovation, and agility. Backed by our experienced and passionate Edgewell colleagues, I am confident that we will position our business for long-term success, and continue to deliver enhanced value for shareholders."
Edgewell’s portfolio includes Schick and Wilkinson Sword men's and women's shaving systems and disposable razors in wet shave; Edge and Skintimate shave preparations; Banana Boat and Hawaiian Tropic sun care products; Playtex, Stayfree, Carefree and o.b. feminine care products; Playtex infant feeding, Diaper Genie and gloves; and Wet Ones wipes.
The company, which has a broad global footprint and operates in more than 50 markets, has 6,000 employees worldwide.
Members of Edgewell's management team will ring the NYSE closing bell tomorrow.
