Prestige Consumer Healthcare Completes Acquisition of TheraTears, Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Earnings Results Date

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., July 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:PBH) (“Prestige“ or the “Company”) today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of TheraTears and other over-the-counter consumer brands.   The closing was finalized pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement which was initially announced on May 27, 2021, under which Prestige agreed to acquire the brands from specialty pharmaceutical company, Akorn Operating Company LLC (“Akorn”), for $230 million in cash. The acquisition of TheraTears will further enhance Prestige’s leading eye care portfolio and generate additional long-term growth opportunities for the Company.

The acquisition is structured as an asset purchase that delivers anticipated tax benefits of ~$30 million and expected annual EBITDA of ~$20 million, equating to a transaction valued at less than 10x pro-forma EBITDA. The transaction is estimated to add annual Revenues, Earnings Per Share and Operating Cash Flow of approximately $60 million, $0.10 and $13 million, respectively.

The Company financed the transaction with a combination of available cash on hand, available cash from its Asset Based Loan (“ABL”) revolver, and a simultaneously completed refinancing of its term loan, which now matures in 2028 and amends and replaces Prestige’s previous outstanding term loan at similar terms.
