Edgewell Personal Care Company has begun operating as a standalone business following the completion of the previously announced separation of Energizer’s Household Products and Personal Care businesses. As of July 1, 2015, Edgewell began “regular-way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPC.”
 
“This is a historic day for Edgewell. The completion of the separation provides us with the opportunity to focus on our core strengths across all business units,” says David Hatfield, CEO, Edgewell. “We are excited about Edgewell’s prospects, as we leverage our strong brands and build upon leading positions across various categories. As a company now solely dedicated to personal care, we will focus on accelerating top line growth, and increasing our emphasis on insight, innovation, and agility. Backed by our experienced and passionate Edgewell colleagues, I am confident that we will position our business for long-term success, and continue to deliver enhanced value for shareholders.”
