		<description><![CDATA[Energizer Holdings Inc. (ENR) reported second quarter 2011 non-GAAP earnings (excluding charges) of $1.04 per share, comprehensively beating the Zacks Consensus estimate of 91 cents per share. The upside surprise was driven by better-than-expected top-line growth. Operating Performance Earnings per share (EPS) on a non-GAAP basis decreased 15.4% year over year from $1.23 reported in the prior-year quarter. Including charges and one-time items of 49 cents, EPS came in at 55 cents in the quarter, down 56.0% year over year from $1.25. Gross margin was 45.5% compared with 47.8% in the year-ago quarter. The decline was primarily credited to the negative impact of approximately 180 basis points (bps) on margins arising from the increased coupon and trade promotional activity for the Schick Hydro product launch. In addition, the inclusion of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Energizer Holdings Inc. (ENR) reported first quarter 2011 non-GAAP earnings (excluding charges) of $1.68 per share, well below the Zacks Consensus of $1.92 per share, based on increased expenses, poor margins and lower profit from the battery business in the quarter. Earnings per share (EPS) declined 9.2% year over year. Including charges and one-time items, earnings came in at $1.55 per share in the quarter, down 12.9% year over year from $1.78. Gross margin was 47.1%, compared with 47.6% in the year-ago quarter. The decline was primarily attributable to increased coupon and trade promotional activity for the Schick Hydro product launch that adversely affected margin by approximately 120 basis points. The decline was partially offset by a favorable product mix. Spending on advertising and promotion (A&#38;P) escalated 45.1% year over ]]></description>

However, the acquisition is still subject to regulatory approval. Based in New Jersey, privately held, American Safety Razor Co., a primary competitor of Energizer had gone bankrupt and filed for Chapter 11 (bankruptcy) in July. The bankruptcy was a result of increased competition in its shaving products category. American Safety Razor sells shaving razors to drug stores such as Walgreen Co.

		<description><![CDATA[Energizer Holdings&#8217; (ENR) third quarter 2010 earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by $0.39 per share or 41%, riding on higher sales, launch of new Schick Hydro, meaningful cost-saving initiatives, favorable foreign currency impact, higher battery sales and lower-than-expected A&#38;P spending. We expect Energizer s top line to grow modestly (+4%) in the fourth quarter of 2010 along with an improved operating leverage and organic growth going forward. The new Schick Hydro brand, higher margins, share repurchases and improving condition in its battery business along with a huge third quarter upside in earnings have led us to raise our earnings per share estimates by 7.4% for fiscal 2011. However, investors should note that intense competition, inventory destocking and weak consumer environment are potential negatives. We believe that ENR is set ]]></description>

The target price of $66.00 is based on a P/E multiple of 12.5X our 2010 EPS estimate. Energizer Holdings’ first quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate on higher sales of batteries and razors and increased cost cutting. We also remain upbeat about ENR’s personal care division. The feminine and infant care businesses are still struggling, as both Johnson &#38; Johnson (JNJ) and Gerber Scientific Inc. (GRB) play a significant role in the infant care segment. We believe that the results for Energizer are improving due to higher sales of new batteries and razors. Currently, the fastest growing area for Energizer is its lithium ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Energizer Holdings, Inc. (ENR) posted increased profitability in the first quarter of 2010 on higher sales, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Excluding charges, earnings per share came in at $2.21 in the quarter, well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.84 and up 14.5% year over year from $1.93 per share. Better-than-expected profit came from reduced spending on advertising and promotional (A&#38;P) expenses, which fell 8.7% year over year (7.5% of total first-quarter 2010 revenue versus 9.3% in the year-ago period). The company had earlier projected higher spending on advertising and promotion. Energizer Holdings expects to increase its investment levels in both advertising &#38; promotion and other targeted growth initiatives. Advertising &#38; Promotions, as a percent of sales, are expected to be around 12.0% in 2010. With falling A&#38;P spending, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Energizer Holdings&#8216; (ENR) fourth-quarter results missed the Zacks Consensus Estimates due to lower sales in Household Products and an adverse currency impact. The company expects growth in earnings for fiscal 2010 driven by continued reduction in overhead costs. The company stands to benefit from restructuring initiatives, product innovations, strong cash flow and increased debt repayment. However, weaker margins, a delay in stock buybacks, intense competition, a sluggish battery business and increased marketing spending are potential negatives. We downgrade the stock to Underperform as the company has been hit hard by the global economic crisis, leading to weak demand and prices for its battery business. We expect the negative impact of the economic downturn to continue in the near term. Our six-month price target is lowered to $54.00. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According a recent news report, CVS Caremark Corp. (CVS) said that it will stop selling Energizer Holdings Inc. (ENR) alkaline batteries at its stores from 2010.  The report also said that CVS will sell Procter &#38; Gamble’s (PG) Duracell alkaline batteries instead. However, the company will continue sell Energizer’s lithium batteries in all of its stores until the end of this year. The consumer products industry is highly competitive with Procter &#38; Gamble as a formidable competitor in the battery (Duracell), blade (Gillette) and feminine products categories. Energizer batteries lag behind Duracell batteries in market share in the U.S. &#8212; 41.6%, followed by Energizer&#8217;s 27.8%. This is according to Information Resources Inc., a Chicago-based market research firm. Energizer’s competitors have significantly larger financial resources. We expect mass retailers to pressure ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Energizer Holdings (ENR) reported results for the fourth quarter with earnings of 53 cents per share. Earnings were well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.01 and were down 68% year-over-year. Total sales declined 3.9% year over year to $1.1 billion, primarily due to sales declines in Household Products and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. Net sales in the Household Products category fell 14.0%, as prior-year shipments due to hurricanes and early holiday shipments ahead of announced price increase did not repeat in the current year quarter. Further, currency also impacted the top line unfavorably by $25 million. However, net sales in the Personal Care segment increased 12% primarily from the shave preparation acquisition. Gross margin for the quarter contracted 371 basis points (bps) to 43.9% versus 47.6% in ]]></description>
