Kenvue Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

SUMMIT, N.J.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Kenvue Inc. (NYSE: KVUE) today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended December 28, 2025.

“We ended 2025 with stronger top- and bottom-line performance in the fourth quarter, which reflected both disciplined execution against our strategic priorities, as well as a more favorable year-ago comparison on sales,” said Kirk Perry, Chief Executive Officer. “As we look to 2026, we remain focused on continuing to enhance our performance, while progressing toward completion of our value-creating combination with Kimberly-Clark.”

Fourth Quarter Summary

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net Sales and Organic Sales

Fourth quarter 2025 Net sales increased 3.2% vs the prior year period, primarily reflecting Organic sales growth of 1.2% and a foreign currency benefit of 2.1%. Organic sales growth was driven by favorable value realization of 2.3%, partially offset by a 1.1% volume decrease. As expected, volumes in the current quarter benefited from lapping the impact of the go-to-market disruption the Company experienced in Asia Pacific in the prior year period. This tailwind was offset primarily by trade inventory reductions by certain customers and low seasonal incidences, particularly in the United States, which weighed on the global weighted category growth rate.

Gross Profit Margin and Operating Income Margin

Fourth quarter 2025 Gross profit margin was flat year-over-year at 56.5%. Adjusted gross profit margin expanded 10 basis points to 58.8% from 58.7% in the prior year period. The year-over-year change in both measures reflects the savings from productivity gains attributable to our global supply chain optimization initiatives and favorable value realization, which helped offset the impact from inflationary, tariff, and transactional foreign exchange headwinds.

Fourth quarter 2025 Operating income margin was 14.2%, including non-cash charges related to asset impairment, vs 13.2% in the prior year period. Fourth quarter 2025 Adjusted operating income margin was 19.9% vs 19.2% in the prior year period. The year-over-year improvement in both measures reflects the year-over-year change in Gross profit margin and Adjusted gross profit margin and savings from Our Vue Forward, partially offset by a year-over-year increase in brand support.

Interest Expense, Net and Taxes

Fourth quarter 2025 Interest expense, net was $98 million vs $95 million in the prior year period.

Fourth quarter Effective tax rate was 22.7% vs 15.3% in the prior year period. The Adjusted effective tax rate 1 was 20.2% in the current period vs 17.7% in the prior year period. The year-over-year increase in both measures largely reflects a decrease in discrete tax benefits, partially offset by favorable jurisdictional mix of earnings in the current period.

Net Income Per Share (“Earnings Per Share”)

Fourth quarter 2025 Diluted earnings per share were $0.17 vs $0.15 in the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.27 in the current period vs $0.26 in the prior year period.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Business Segment Results

Self Care

Fourth quarter 2025 Net sales increased 1.5% vs the prior year period, reflecting a foreign currency benefit of 2.7%, partially offset by Organic sales decline of 1.2%. Organic sales decline was driven by a volume decrease of 3.1%, which was partially offset by favorable value realization of 1.9%. Subdued seasonal incidences in the United States weighed on the overall Self Care category, which contracted year-over-year. In aggregate, Kenvue gained slight share in its seasonal businesses in the United States, with continued strong contribution from innovations. While a late quarter spike in flu incidences in the United States was not enough to offset the impact of weak incidences throughout the quarter, both consumption and share performance trends for Tylenol improved in December. Relative to prior year, Organic sales rebounded in Asia Pacific and grew across major need states in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Skin Health and Beauty

Fourth quarter 2025 Net sales increased 2.9% vs the prior year period, primarily reflecting a foreign currency benefit of 1.6% and Organic sales growth of 1.5%. Organic sales growth was driven by favorable value realization of 2.3%, partially offset by a volume decrease of 0.8%. Innovations, along with strong commercial execution drove Organic sales growth vs the prior year period across every geographic region outside North America.

Essential Health

Fourth quarter 2025 Net sales increased 6.1% vs the prior year period, reflecting Organic sales growth of 4.2% and a foreign currency benefit of 1.9%. Organic sales growth was driven by favorable value realization of 2.9% and volume growth of 1.3%, with broad based growth across the major need states, propelled by the Asia Pacific, Latin America and Europe, Middle East and Africa regions, with sequential improvement in performance in North America.

Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Net Sales and Organic Sales

Full year 2025 Net sales decreased 2.1% vs the prior year period, primarily reflecting Organic sales decline of 2.2%, partially offset by foreign currency benefit of 0.2%. Organic sales decline was driven by a 2.3% volume decrease partially offset by slightly favorable value realization of 0.1%. Volumes were impacted by trade inventory reductions by certain customers, as well as low seasonal incidences, impacting Self Care, which constrained the global weighted category growth rate.

Gross Profit Margin and Operating Income Margin

Full year 2025 Gross profit margin expanded 10 basis points to 58.1% from 58.0% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit margin declined 20 basis points to 60.2% from 60.4% in the prior year period. The year-over-year change in both measures reflects the savings from productivity gains attributable to our global supply chain optimization initiatives, as well as the impact from inflation, lower volume, and transactional foreign exchange and tariff headwinds.

Full year 2025 Operating income margin was 16.0% vs 11.9% in the prior year period, which included significantly higher non-cash charges related to asset impairments. Full year 2025 Adjusted operating income margin was 21.0% vs 21.5% in the prior year period. The year-over-year change in both measures reflects the year-over-year change in Gross profit margin and Adjusted gross profit margin, savings from Our Vue Forward, as well as a year-over-year increase in brand support.

Interest Expense, Net and Taxes

Full year 2025 Interest expense, net was $379 million vs $378 million in the prior year period.

Full year Effective tax rate was 26.5% vs 27.2% in the prior year period. The Adjusted effective tax rate was 24.7% vs 25.5% in the prior year period. The year-over-year reduction in both measures largely reflects favorable tax return true-ups and jurisdictional mix of earnings in the current period, partially offset by a decrease in discrete tax benefits.

Net Income Per Share (“Earnings Per Share”)

Full year 2025 Diluted earnings per share were $0.76 vs $0.54 in the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.08 vs $1.14 in the prior year period.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Full year 2025 Net cash flows from operating activities were $2.2 billion vs $1.8 billion in the prior year period, largely driven by improvements in working capital. Capital expenditures were $0.5 billion vs $0.4 billion in the prior year period, as Free cash flow 1 increased to $1.7 billion vs $1.3 billion in the prior year period. Total cash and cash equivalents were $1.1 billion as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. Total debt was $8.5 billion as of December 28, 2025 vs $8.6 billion as of December 29, 2024.

Proposed Transaction with Kimberly-Clark

As previously announced, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement on November 2, 2025, under which Kimberly-Clark will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Kenvue common stock in a cash and stock transaction. Shareholders of each company voted overwhelmingly to approve all of the proposals necessary for Kimberly-Clark to complete its acquisition of the Company at their respective Special Meetings of Stockholders held on January 29, 2026. Additionally, the waiting period applicable to the transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, expired on February 4, 2026. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to receipt of foreign regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions as described in the merger agreement.

No Conference Call

Due to the pending transaction with Kimberly-Clark, Kenvue will not be hosting a quarterly conference call. This press release will be posted on the Company’s website at investors.kenvue.com.

1Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP nor do they have any standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way the Company calculates such measures. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to such similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplements to, not substitutes for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management. The Company believes these measures help improve investors’ ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies. In addition, the Company believes these measures are also among the primary measures used externally by the Company’s investors, analysts, and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in our industry.

Below are definitions and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measures for the non-GAAP measures used in this press release.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share: We define Adjusted diluted earnings per share as Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. Management views this non-GAAP measure as useful to investors as it provides a supplemental measure of the Company’s performance over time.

Adjusted EBITDA margin: We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP Net income adjusted for interest, provision for taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for restructuring expenses and operating model optimization initiatives, costs incurred in connection with our establishment as a standalone public company (“Separation-related costs”), conversion of stock-based awards, stock-based awards granted to individuals employed by Kenvue as of October 2, 2023 (“Founder Shares”), expenses incurred in connection with the proposed transaction with Kimberly-Clark (“Proposed Transaction costs”), impairment charges, the impact of the deferred transfer of certain assets and liabilities from Johnson & Johnson in certain jurisdictions (the “Deferred Markets”), litigation income, the gain recognized on the sale of the Skillman, New Jersey facility, losses on investments, and tax indemnification releases. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of U.S. GAAP Net sales. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.

Adjusted effective tax rate: We define Adjusted effective tax rate as U.S. GAAP Effective tax rate adjusted for the tax effects on special item adjustments including amortization of intangible assets, restructuring expenses and operating model optimization initiatives, Separation-related costs, conversion of stock-based awards, Founder Shares, Proposed Transaction costs, impairment charges other than the Dr.Ci:Labo ® asset impairment, litigation income, the gain recognized on the sale of the Skillman, New Jersey facility, losses on investments, and tax indemnification releases. We also exclude taxes related to the Deferred Markets and taxes related to the Dr.Ci:Labo ® asset impairment charges. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental measure of the Company’s performance over time.

Adjusted gross profit margin: We define Adjusted gross profit margin as U.S. GAAP Gross profit margin adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, Separation-related costs, conversion of stock-based awards, Founder Shares, and operating model optimization initiatives. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.

Adjusted net income: We define Adjusted net income as U.S. GAAP Net income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, restructuring expenses and operating model optimization initiatives, Separation-related costs, conversion of stock-based awards, Founder Shares, Proposed Transaction costs, impairment charges, the impact of the Deferred Markets, litigation income, the gain recognized on the sale of the Skillman, New Jersey facility, losses on investments, tax indemnification releases, and their related tax impacts (i.e., special items). Adjusted net income excludes the impact of items that may obscure trends in our underlying performance. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as the Company uses Adjusted net income for strategic decision making, forecasting future results, and evaluating current performance.

Adjusted operating income: We define Adjusted operating income as U.S. GAAP Operating income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, restructuring expenses and operating model optimization initiatives, Separation-related costs, conversion of stock-based awards, Founder Shares, Proposed Transaction costs, impairment charges, the impact of the Deferred Markets, litigation income, and the gain recognized on the sale of the Skillman, New Jersey facility. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as management uses Adjusted operating income to assess the Company’s financial performance.

Adjusted operating income margin: We define Adjusted operating income margin as Adjusted operating income as a percentage of U.S. GAAP Net sales. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.

Free cash flow: We define Free cash flow as U.S. GAAP Net cash flows from operating activities adjusted for purchases of property, plant, and equipment. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors as it provides a view of the Company’s liquidity after deducting capital expenditures, which are considered a necessary component of our ongoing operations.

Organic sales: We define Organic sales as U.S. GAAP Net sales excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. We report changes in Organic sales on a period-over-period basis. Management believes reporting period-over-period changes in Organic sales provides investors with supplemental information that is useful in assessing the Company’s results of operations by excluding the impact of certain items that we believe do not directly reflect our underlying operations.
