Edgewell Personal Care’s net sales were $610.6 million in the quarter, an increase of 9%. Organic net sales increased 9.2%, driven by growth in all four segments. North America net sales were up 8.4%, with growth across all segments. International (everything outside North America) net sales were up 14.2%, or 11% on an organic basis, driven by Wet Shave, with good performance in Asia, and Sun and Skin Care in Asia and Latin America.

Feminine Care net sales increased $11 million, or 11.4%. Growth was largely driven by lower promotional spending, which more than offset lower volumes this quarter. Feminine Care segment profit decreased $1.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to start-up costs related to the production consolidation into the U.S. plant and slightly lower volumes, which offset the benefit from the lower promotional spend.
