Comments: Energizer is known for its batteries, but the company is the leading player in the US sun care market via its Hawaiian Tropic and Banana Boat brands. Last year, skin care net sales increased 9% (7% organic and 2% currencies) due to the favorable impact of lower prior year sun care returns and higher shipments for the current sun care season.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, corporate sales rose nearly 4% to almost $2.3 billion and net income rose nearly 50% to $221 million. Personal care sales rose more than 5% to $191 million on the strength of sun care sales.
