Edgewell Personal Care has announced that it has begun operating as an independent, publicly traded company following the completion of the previously announced separation of Energizer’s household products and personal care businesses.

Starting July 1, 2015, Edgewell has begun “regular-way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPC”.

David Hatfield, chief executive officer, Edgewell said in a statement, “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. 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.”

Edgewell is a leading pure-play consumer products company. The Company has a broad global footprint and operates in more than 50 markets, including the US, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Japan, and Australia, with 6,000 employees worldwide.

Edgewell Personal Care manufactures and markets a diversified range of personal care products in the wet shave, skin care, feminine care and infant care categories with well-established brand names. (GK)
