    Comments:
    Corporate sales rose 4% and organic sales increased 5% over the previous year driven by 7% growth in the consumer products business. Company executives credit the growth to the success of eight “power brands,” which include Arm & Hammer, OxiClean, Spinbrush, Nair, Orajel and Xtra. At the same time, the company noted that three initiatives enabled C&D to thrive during the downturn. These include:
    • An aggressive cost savings program that has been in place for several years. During that time, the company has delivered 570 basis points of gross margin improvement, excluding restructuring charges.
    • Multi-channel distribution. The company was able to weather the economic downturn as it plays in both the premium (60% of revenue) and value (40%) channels.
    • Relationship building. The sales and marketing teams did an outstanding job in developing stronger relationships with key retailers and consumers.
    Fast Fact:
    James A. Church, son of the company founder, operated a spice and mustard business known as the Vulcan Spice Mills. In Roman mythology, Vulcan is the god of fire, and the A&H logo represented the arm of Vulcan with hammer in hand about to descend on an anvil.

    In other moves, the company completed construction of its new integrated laundry detergent manufacturing plant and distribution center in York County, PA and closed its North Brunswick, NJ complex. The new facility began production ahead of schedule during the third quarter. Elsewhere, C&D sold several non-core brands, increased marketing spending to drive trial and loyalty, and continued to focus on a wide variety of supply chain initiatives to expand gross margin.

    Of course, new products are the lifeblood of any consumer products company, and new launches from C&D between 2007 and 2009 accounted for 15% of sales last year. To keep the momentum going, C&D has introduced several new products this year including Arm & Hammer Plus OxiClean Power Gels laundry detergents, OxiClean MaxForce stain fighters, Kaboom Foamtastic household cleaning products and line extensions to the Nair Shower Power platform.

    The strong results continued into 2010, as first quarter sales rose 9.2% to more than $634 million. The gains were credited to higher sales of A&H liquid laundry detergent, Super Scoop cat litter, Nair, Orajel, Aim toothpaste and Kaboom bathroom cleaner, all of which were partially offset by lower sales of Xtra liquid laundry detergent.

    Looking ahead, chairman James R. Craigie is optimistic about the remainder of the year.

    “We are launching our best new product lineup ever in 2010 and the customer response has been excellent with distribution gains across almost every key category,” he noted. “We expect to deliver organic sales growth of approximately 4-5% in 2010 based on our strong pipeline of innovative new products supported by effective marketing programs."
