The company also closed its $300.0 million cash acquisition of the Miss Mouth's Messy Eater brand on May 28, 2026 and said it expects about $15.0 million in IEEPA tariff refunds in the second half of 2026 following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the tariffs were unlawful.
Key points
- Church & Dwight completed the acquisition of the Miss Mouth's Messy Eater brand on May 28, 2026, paying $300.0 million in cash at closing plus $25.0 million deferred, with the brand's 2025 net sales at approximately $80.0 million.
- The company said it has paid about $23.0 million in IEEPA tariffs and expects roughly $15.0 million in phase II refunds in the second half of 2026 after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the tariffs unlawful on February 20, 2026.
- Church & Dwight said it ceased importing substantially all Waterpik flossers and certain other products from China into the U.S. and has shifted production, diversified suppliers, and raised prices selectively in response to trade policy changes.
- The company said the Middle East conflict has disrupted shipping routes including the Strait of Hormuz, adding inflationary pressure on commodities and transportation costs.
