As such, we highlight five KVUE attributes that\nunderpin our positive view: (1) resilient top-line growth, (2) room for margin expansion,\n(3) high cash flow conversion and shareholder-friendly capital allocation, (4)\nmanagement(cid:726)s strong background not only with JNJ but other blue-chip CPGs with solid\nrelationships with key customers, and (5) attractive valuation.\n\u2022 Resilient Top-Line Growth in Large Categories. KVUE has strong leadership in\nthree main categories (self-care, skin health & beauty, essential health) that\ncombined represent around $369bn in sales globally. The company boasts a portfolio\nof seven #1 global brands and 37 #1 regional brands, with the top 10 brands above\n$400M in sales. Based on market data, KVUE(cid:726)s largest brands are Neutrogena,\nListerine, Tylenol, and Johnson(cid:726)s baby. Management expects the categories to grow\nat a compounded annual growth rate of 3-4% globally through 2025 and for the\ncompany to drive growth competitive with the market, implying organic growth of\nabout 4%, which we believe is doable and somewhat conservative. Given the strong\nstart of 2023 with 11% organic sales growth (OSG) in Q123, we anticipate that\nKVUE will grow 6% organically this year, but as the company laps pricing, we\nexpect it to decelerate (similar to most peers) to ~4% OSG in the following years.\n\u2022 Accelerating Growth with Innovation, Digital Marketing, Omnichannel\ndistribution... From an innovation standpoint, KVUE spends about 2.5% of sales on\nR&D, introducing products that meet unsolved needs rooted in clinical trials. KVUE\nhas launched roughly 100 new products per annum over the past several years, and\ninnovation introduced over the rolling preceding three-year period has accounted for\nabout $1.5 billion in net sales each year since 2020 (about 10% sales mix). As with\nmost CPGs, KVUE has been directing more of its marketing spend (~9-10% of\nsales) into digital media (about 71% of total in 2022). With that and its increased\nrelationship with key e-commerce retailers, the company was able to grow its online\nsales at a +20% CAGR from 2020 to 2022 to 13% online and double its Skin Health\n& Beauty e-commerce sales. In North America, for example, the digital marketing\nspend accounted for 73% of total marketing spend in 2022, which was up from 59%\nin 2020 and 49% in 2019 and drove a +29% increase in media ROI as of October\n2022 and collective 13 points increase in U.S. household penetration from 2019 to\n2021.The average consumer review on Amazon is 4.6 stars vs. category of 4.4 ,\nincluding Neutrogena, Aveeno, Lubriderm, and Clean & Clear.\n\u2022 \u2026.and Through New Product Adjacencies & Introducing Successful Brands in\nInternational Markets. Despite having many #1 positions, many of the sub-\ncategories are fragmented, as we discuss in the market share analysis later in this\nreport. For instance, Neutrogena is the #1 facial care brand in the U.S. but still the\n#3 facial care brand globally. In the facial cleansing category, Neutrogena is the #3\nbrand in the U.S. among Hispanics and the #2 brand in the U.S. among Millennials.\nIt is also the #1 most reviewed brand in the skin care category on Amazon in 2022.\nThis allows KVUE to build scale behind core priority brands that are not fully\ndistributed in all markets. While KVUE has presence in 165 markets globally, it\nprioritizes eight markets: the U.S. (#1 market), Canada (#3), the U.K. (#5), Germany\n(#7), Brazil (#4), India (#6), Japan (#8), and China (#2). We think the company\ncould follow the CPG playbook of (cid:728)lift-and-shift(cid:729) successful products to additional\n4\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 5, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\ngeographies over time.\n\u2022 Optionality in M&A as KVUE Evaluates Acquisitions to Enhance Core\nPortfolio and Capabilities. The company has undertaken a number of acquisitions\nand divestitures over the past seven years with 15 divestitures and 10 acquisitions\nsince 2016. While not necessary to achieve its growth algorithm, the company plans\nto continue looking at M&A opportunities, although it sounds like management is\nintent on remaining focused squarely on the consumer health space and would be\nlooking more for tuck-in vs. transformational M&A. We expect M&A to be focused\non faster growing, premium categories, as has been the case with recent transactions\n(e.g., Dr.Ci:Labo and Zarbee(cid:726)s). We do not include M&A in our P&L estimates, but\nwe do budget around $500M for M&A in cash flow.\n\u2022 Room for Profitability to Continue to Expand and Lead to Operating Leverage.\nWe expect the reorganization of brands, lower costs, better availability of key raw\nmaterials (shortage of silicone impacted SH&B division), and supply chain\noptimization will lead to better profitability ahead. While there are some\n(cid:728)dis-synergies(cid:729) from the separation (e.g., TSAs and TMAs \u2013 as we discuss below),\nwe expect the phasing out of these expenses to become a tailwind to margins. From\nan EBITDA perspective, however, we do see KVUE generating profit growth ahead\nof sales growth from 2023-2025 with a three-year CAGR of +6.1% vs. top-line\nCAGR of +4.3%, implying EBITDA margin expansion to 25.4% in 2025 from\n24.1% in 2022 (roughly +130 bps expansion) and 25.3% in 2021. For context,\nKVUE has a good track record of 200 bps gross margin and 250 bps EBITDA\nexpansion in the last three years.\n\u2022 Reliable Cash Flow (~100% Conversion in 2023-25). We expect KVUE to\ndeliver>100% FCF conversion (% of adjusted net income) in each of 2023-2025,\nand we model for free cash flow to grow at a three-year CAGR of +11% to $2.8\nbillion in 2025. The free cash flow outlook is supported by solid adjusted EBITDA\ngrowth (as described above) and some tailwind from working capital management\nas inventory normalizes following a step-up in 2022 (more below), which more than\noffsets cash separation costs expected to be incurred from 2023-2025 (around\n$595M post-tax) and some step-up in capital expenditures.\n\u2022 Best-in-Class Dividend Yield. KVUE dividend policy post-IPO will be a quarterly\ndividend of $0.20 per share beginning in 3Q23 (fiscal quarter ending October 1,\n2023), which at the current price of $26.30 implies an annualized dividend yield of\nabout 3.0% (at the IPO price of $22, the annualized dividend yield was closer to\n3.6%). Looking ahead, we expect the company to target an annual dividend payout\nratio of around 55-65% (JPMe 2024E 64%), and we model for 3% dividend growth\nin both 2023 and 2024 as the company targets moderate growth in dividend per\nshare.\n\u2022 Management Has Strong Expertise in Categories, Already Operating\nIndependently for +3 Years. KVUE has a strong, seasoned management team that\nwill benefit from continuity as many of the c-level executive ushered in the strategic\ntransformation beginning in the 2019 time frame through the IPO. Moreover, the\nconsumer segment largely operated independently within JNJ historically, and as\nsuch, even after the separation, the organization should be well positioned to\ncontinue life as a public company. The management team has around 18 years of\nexperience in consumer goods and healthcare on average and is a diverse group\nincluding over 58% women and representing nine different nationalities.\n5\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 6, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nRisks to Rating and Price Target\n\u2022 Execution Risk Tied to the Separation from JNJ. While the separation started in\n2019, KVUE has never operated as a stand-alone company, and there is inherent\nexecution risk tied to the separation from JNJ. The company will operate under\ntransition services and manufacturing agreements ranging from two to five years,\nand there is no guarantee that Kenvue will be able to exit the agreements in a timely\nmanner in order to drive cost savings. Moreover, Kenvue may be unable to\nsuccessfully develop internal systems from an operational, financial, administrative,\nor IT perspective as a stand-alone company or may be unable to successfully source\nnew manufacturing for regulated OTC products that are currently being produced by\nJNJ under the TMAs. Currently, the TMA covers certain SKUs of Tylenol, Motrin,\nBenadryl, and others that account for less than 10% of KVUE sales.\n\u2022 Potential Talc Litigation outside North America. Kenvue could be subject to talc-\nrelated litigation outside the U.S. and Canada relating to claims that talc causes\ncancer. We note that JNJ released a statement on April 27: (cid:728)As unequivocally and\nunambiguously stated, Johnson & Johnson has agreed to retain all the talc-related\nliabilities and indemnify Kenvue for any and all costs \u2013 arising from litigation in the\nUnited States and Canada.(cid:729) While our understanding is that there are currently only\na few active claims relating to talc outside North America, the company has not\ntaken any reserves against these claims, and there could be additional lawsuits in the\nfuture exposing KVUE to talc-related liabilities. On April 5, JNJ proposed an $8.9\nbillion settlement to resolve about 60,000 talc claimants in the U.S.\n\u2022 Seasonal Factors Could Impact Performance of Some OTC Products. Kenvue(cid:726)s\nSelf Care business as of 2022 represented 40% of sales and 53% of segment-level\noperating income and over the past three years generated 90% of KVUE(cid:726)s organic\ngrowth. The segment has benefitted from tailwinds to its pain relief and cold and\ncough businesses from various waves of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent\n(cid:728)triple-demic(cid:729) (COVID-19, RSV, flu). Additionally, the company has exposure to\nseasonal allergy trends. If upcoming cold, cough, and flu and/or allergy seasons are\nmore mild than expected, there could be downside risk to estimates.\n\u2022 Inflation and Supply Chain Volatility May Impact Cost Outlook. As with other\nconsumer products companies, Kenvue over the past two plus years has had to\nnavigate significant inflationary cost pressures and a challenging supply chain\nenvironment. Ingredient, packaging, transportation, and labor shortages have\nimpacted service levels, product availability, and KVUE profitability, and while the\ncost and supply chain environment appears to be improving, inflationary cost\npressures persist and the supply chain environment could again worsen.\n\u2022 Consumer Demand May Weaken in Response to Macroeconomic Environment\nor Pricing Actions. While elasticities thus far have held up better than historically\nin response to material pricing actions undertaken by the company beginning in\n2H22, a deterioration in the macroeconomic environment or higher sensitivity to\nincremental pricing actions may dent consumer demand for Kenvue(cid:726)s products. In a\nsofter macroeconomic environment, consumers may choose to trade down to private\nlabel products or other lower priced branded offerings.\n\u2022 Distribution of KVUE Shares by JNJ Could Put Pressure on KVUE Share\nPrice. Following Kenvue(cid:726)s IPO, JNJ still owns approximately 89.6% of KVUE\nshares. JNJ intends to effect a tax-free distribution of KVUE shares, which would\n6\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 7, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nentail lowering its ownership stake to below 20%. If JNJ decides to pursue a\ndistribution of its KVUE shares, there could be selling pressure on the stock\ndepending on the structure of the distribution or discount implied by a share\nexchange offering.\nCompany Description\nKenvue Inc. (KVUE) is the largest pure-play consumer health company in the\nworld with a history dating back over 135 years and a presence in over 165\ncountries with an estimated 1.2 billion people utilizing the company(cid:726)s products\ndaily. Kenvue(cid:726)s portfolio includes a number of iconic brands including Tylenol,\nListerine, Band-Aid, Johnson(cid:726)s, Neutrogena, Aveeno, Zyrtec, and Nicorette, among\nothers. The company boasts 10 brands that generated over $400 million in annual\nnet sales in 2022, and seven of its brands hold leading positions across global\ncategories.

Grow Brand Relevance and Salience\nThe biggest driver for long-term growth is likely to be household penetration and\nincidence opportunity as even KVUE(cid:726)s largest brands have significant usage gaps.\nRelevance and salience to consumers should be enabled by marketing campaigns\n(predominately digital-focused at this point \u2013 more below) and continued focus on\nclinical claims and working with healthcare professionals to secure recommendations\n(also applicable to innovation).\nFor example, in the pain relief category in the U.S. there are 4.5x more consumers using\nsome form of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) vs. consumers\nexclusively using acetaminophen (generic name for Tylenol); in skin care there are 2.7x\nmore consumers who suffer from sensitive skin vs. sensitive product contribution to the\nbody care category in the U.S.; and in oral care household penetration for mouthwash is\n1.8x higher in the U.S. and U.K vs. larger markets in ROW (e.g., Spain, Italy, France,\nChina, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines).

Increase Product Availability through Omnichannel Strategy\nThe largest areas of opportunity are to expand presence in pharmacy and e-comm, in our\nview. In retail, the opportunity is for incremental shelf space gains as retailers devote\nmore space to consumer health categories with KVUE well positioned to gain share\ngiven its scale, market share position, and investments behind marketing and consumer\ninsights, in addition to deeper penetration in the faster growing pharmacy channel in\nEMEA, India, and China (APAC is ~21% of sales, and China and India combined are\naround 50% of APAC sales with China the #2 market globally and India the #6 market\n10\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 11, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nglobally for KVUE). KVUE(cid:726)s e-commerce opportunity is largely consistent with the rest\nof CPG as KVUE(cid:726)s sales mix to pure-play e-commerce is around 6%, which about\ndoubles to 13% when including retail.com. Looking from 2020-2022, KVUE(cid:726)s e-\ncommerce sales grew at a roughly +20% CAGR. KVUE is aiming to increase product\navailability in the e-commerce channel and increased investment in digital marketing\nover the past few years to help accelerate e-commerce mix; for example, 71% of\nKVUE(cid:726)s marketing spend was on digital in 2022, up from 44% in 2019. The company is\nalso expanding in the DTC channel with brands like Dr.Ci:Labo (63% of sales in Japan\nDTC in 2022), although it is still early days.\n3. Deliver Consistent Cadence of Consumer-Centric Innovation\nThe company(cid:726)s innovation strategy is centered on elevating the core brands, enhancing\nthe consumer experience, and solving for unmet needs. The company(cid:726)s innovation\nagenda is supported by 1,500 dedicated R&D employees (R&D is ~2.5% of KVUE\nsales, which is above the peer average of ~2.0%); over the past several years the\ncompany has launched roughly 100 new products per annum, and innovation introduced\nover the rolling preceding three-year period has accounted for about $1.5 billion in net\nsales each year since 2020 (about 10% sales mix).\nThe company(cid:726)s innovation leverages its relationships with healthcare professionals and\nalso relies on clinical claims. Recent examples include: 1) Listerine rolling out claims\nthat the product reduces 5x more plaque above the gumline vs. flossing; 2) Children(cid:726)s\nZyrtec Oral Chewables and Dissolve Tabs and Tylenol Dissolve Packs for adults and\nchildren who find it difficult to swallow pills; 3) Neutrogena Rapid Firming Peptide\nContour Lift Face Cream, which contains an anti-aging ingredient (acetyl dipeptide)\ndesigned for sensitive skin; 4) sustainable packaging solutions that reduce plastic\nincluding Neutrogena Hydro Boost refillable pods, Aveeno Body Wash refill packs, and\nListerine concentrate kits; and 5) Aveeno Calm + Restore focused on the underserved\nsegment of consumers with sensitive, extra-dry skin.\n4. Expand into New Product Adjacencies and Geographic Markets\nThe company is in 165 markets globally but prioritizes eight markets: the U.S. (#1\nmarket), Canada (#3), the U.K. (#5), Germany (#7), Brazil (#4), India (#6), Japan (#8),\nand China (#2). Back to the Listerine example, there is still has a significant household\npenetration opportunity as the overall United States mouthwash category penetration\nrate was only 50% as of December 2022, while in APAC, category penetration was only\n29% in Japan and 15% in China, each as of 2022.The company does plan for growth\noutside of these markets as well but will generally look to build scale behind core\npriority brands and then expand portfolio offerings or enter adjacencies by leveraging\npriority brands. The company gave the example of launching Aveeno in Indonesia,\nMalaysia, and the Philippines, and we think the company could follow the CPG\nplaybook of (cid:728)lift-and-shift(cid:729) successful products to additional geographies over time.\n5. Continually Evaluate Acquisitions to Enhance Core Product Portfolio and\nCapabilities\nThe company has undertaken a number of acquisitions and divestitures over the past\nseven years with 15 divestitures and 10 acquisitions since 2016. While not necessary to\nachieve its growth outlook, the company plans to continue looking at M&A\nopportunities, although it sounds like management is intent on remaining focused\nsquarely on the consumer health space and would be looking more for tuck-in vs.\ntransformational M&A. We expect M&A to be focused on faster growing, premium\n11\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 12, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\ncategories, as has been the case with recent transactions (e.g., Dr.Ci:Labo and Zarbee(cid:726)s).\nBalanced Portfolio Shaped through Strategic\nTransformation\nSelf Care (40% of Sales, 53% of OI, OSG +8.6% 3-YR CAGR)\nSelf Care is KVUE(cid:726)s largest segment with $6.0 billion in sales (~40% of FY22 sales)\nand $2.1 billion in adjusted operating income (34.6% margin and 53.4% of KVUE\nsegment-level adjusted OI).

That is, the\nquestion is whether the category growth trends normalize to historical growth levels or\nhave a reversion to the mean. While acknowledging the vagaries of virus/allergy\nseasonal trends, there are a number of drivers both at the macro and company-level that\nprovide a pathway to solid, albeit more normalized growth ahead.\nGrowth Is Not Only Driven by the Pandemic...\nIn pain care, KVUE should see ongoing tailwinds from deeper penetration for its brands\ngiven unmet medical needs of consumers and wide gap between the number of\nconsumers using some form of pain relief vs. those using acetaminophen (active\ningredient in Tylenol) exclusively (i.e., some consumers using NSAIDs or a\ncombination of sometimes NSAIDs/sometimes acetaminophen). As we noted above, in\nthe U.S. there are roughly 26M consumers with chronic health conditions using\nexclusively acetaminophen vs. 118M consumers with chronic health conditions using\nsome form of pain relief (i.e., NSAIDs or dual-users of NSAIDs or acetaminophen). We\nexpect the company to prioritize the opportunity for household penetration and usage\nexpansion in North America (usage gap vs. overall pain care) and APAC (middle class\nbecoming more open to Western medicine) over the next few years. There should also\nbe growth opportunity through form factor extensions that provide ease of use/\nconvenience for consumers (e.g., dissolvable tablets) and line extensions targeted at\nspecific indications (e.g., arthritis, back pain).\n...Strong Growth in Allergy Medicines Proves Power of Brand Equity and\nInnovation\nIn allergy, KVUE should benefit long term from increasing allergy incidence (e.g.,\nnumber of allergy days per season has grown by over 20 days from 1990-2018 given\nimpacts from factors like climate change, and pollen concentration has increased 21%\nover the same period) and penetration in the U.S. (through Zyrtec) and China (through\nRhinocort). Like in pain care, we also expect form factor extensions to aid in driving\ngrowth; for example, the company introduced Children(cid:726)s Zyrtec Chewables to enhance\nthe consumer experience and drive adoption given challenges many children have with\nswallowing pills. This innovation helped to drive accelerated category growth for\npediatric allergy (U.S. growth accelerated 5x for 2H22) with Zyrtec the #1 brand in\npediatric allergy.\nSmoke Cessation Benefits from Self-Care Tailwinds Prior to the Pandemic and\nAccelerated Post COVID-19\nIn other self-care categories, KVUE should see continued benefit from quit attempts in\nsmoking cessation supported by new scientific claims, products (e.g., Nicorette\nQuickMist and app), and marketing campaigns (e.g., (cid:728)Do Something Incredible(cid:729)\ncampaign drove 74% improvement in media ROI and 2.6 points of market share gains\nglobally), as well as potential entry into vaping cessation. The company also plans to\nselectively invest to drive growth in digestive health through ORSL.\n13\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 14, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nSkin Health & Beauty (29% of Sales, 18% of OI, OSG +0.1% 3-\nYR CAGR)\nSkin Health & Beauty ((cid:728)SHB(cid:729)) generated sales of $4.4 billion in 2022 (~29% of FY22\nsales) and $0.7 billion in adjusted operating income (16.3% margin and 18.1% of\nKVUE segment-level adjusted OI).

With that,\nover the past three years SHB essentially contributed nothing to KVUE(cid:726)s organic\ngrowth, and as of 2022, SHB volumes still stood around 3% below 2019 levels.\n\u2026 Turning the Corner Accelerating to MSDs OSG in 2H22 and Low Teens in 1Q23\nThat said, KVUE appears to be turning a corner more recently in top-line trajectory\n(albeit against a low bar) as the company undertook actions to streamline its supply\nchain and build resilience (in addition to general easing of supply chain situation\nglobally). Specifically, 2H22 organic growth in the segment came in at +5.3% (+MSD%\nin each of 3Q/4Q) vs. a -4.0% organic growth decline in 1H22, implying a 3Y CAGR in\n2H22 of +1.5% vs. -0.8% in 1H22.

Together these areas helped lead to a +290 bps expansion in\nKVUE gross margins from 2019 to 2021.\nKVUE(cid:726)s EBITDA margins improved +445 bps in 2020 (26.1%) vs. 2019 (21.6%) but\nfinished -78 bps YOY in 2021 given reinvestment behind advertising (-120 bps\nheadwind as advertising expense increased to 9.7% of sales) to 25.3% but still about 365\nbps ahead of 2019 levels. Pressure continued in 2022 driven by supply chain, inflation,\nand FX pressures with margins compressing another -119 bps YOY. Looking ahead,\nwith pricing actions now in place (mostly a 2H22 event) to begin to help offset\ninflationary cost pressures and incremental pricing in 2023 (we estimate ~45% of 2023\npricing is carryover from 2022), KVUE(cid:726)s EBITDA margins should begin to recover\neven after burdening the P&L with stand-alone company costs (e.g., transition services\nand manufacturing agreements, public company costs, incremental hires to support\nstandalone organization), which likely total ~$100M.\nDeliberate Portfolio Optimization Toward Core and Faster Growing Consumer\nHealth Categories\nM&A has played a significant role in shaping the KVUE portfolio with some of its\nlargest brands the result of acquisitions including Tylenol (1958), Neutrogena (1994),\nAveeno (1996), and Listerine (2006). More recently, the company has undertaken efforts\nto streamline its portfolio to core brands and (cid:728)local jewels(cid:729) (i.e., leveraging same active\ningredient/technology at platform brand) while exiting slower growth, lower margin\nbrands/categories and making acquisitions in faster growth, higher margin brand/\ncategories. As noted, since 2016 the company has actively shaped the portfolio by\ncompleting 15 divestitures and 10 acquisitions. Recent notable acquisitions include\nVogue International (OGX) in 2016, NeoStrata in 2016, Zarbee(cid:726)s in 2018, and Dr.\nCi:Labo in 2019; some notable divestitures include RoC and Nizoral in 2018 in the Skin\nHealth & Beauty segment and Compeed (2017) and Reach (2021) in the Essential\nHealth segment.\nBeyond M&A, KVUE also undertook an extensive SKU rationalization effort over the\npast few years that has resulted in a 21% reduction in the number of SKUs from 2019-\n2022 and was a roughly ~$100M headwind to the top line in the Essential Health\nsegment with some additional impact to Skin Health & Beauty as well.\nThe SKU rationalization and M&A efforts, while detrimental to the top line and the\ncompany(cid:726)s market share performance, helped to improve the margin structure by\nreducing complexity and eliminating lower profitability items as evidenced by Essential\nHealth segment adjusted operating income margins expanding approximately 340 bps\n18\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 19, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nfrom 2019 to 2022 despite organic sales CAGR of just +0.9% and reported sales down -\n6.7% from 2019 levels.\nFigure 25: Essential Health Segment Sales, OI, Margin 2022 vs. 2019 Figure 26: Essential Health Profit/Margin Improvement Despite Lower\n$ m Sales\n$6,000 $4,896 24.3% 25.0% 10% 8.7%\n$5,000 $4,570 24.0% 8%\n$4,000 23.0% 6%\n+340 bps\n$3,000 22.0% 4%\n2%\n$2,000 20.9% 21.0%\n$1,022 $1,111 0%\n$1,000 20.0% -2%\n$0 19.0% -4%\n2019 2022 -6%\nSales Segment OI Segment OI Margin -8% -6.7%\nSales 2022 vs. 2019 Segment OI 2022 vs. 2019 Segment OI Margin 2022 vs. 2019\nSource: Company reports. Source: Company reports.\nWe expect the company to continually evaluate opportunities to streamline its portfolio\nby eliminating tail SKUs (likely an annual exercise as it is with any CPG company),\nalthough from our perspective it appears that much of the (cid:728)heavy lifting(cid:729) of portfolio\noptimization is largely behind the company at this point. Looking ahead, M&A figures\nto continue to play a role in shaping of the portfolio, likely continuing in the higher\ngrowth/margin segments within Consumer Health (e.g., Self Care and Skin Health &\nBeauty), and we expect M&A to be more bolt-on in nature vs. transformational\ntransactions. With strong FCF generation and a healthy balance sheet (post-IPO net\ndebt-to-TTM EBITDA likely ~2.1x) KVUE should have ample dry powder to deploy to\nM&A if it deems fit, and we think management is likely earmarking $500-750M for\nacquisitions in the years ahead (vs. JPMe FCF $2.4B/$2.5B/$2.8B in 2023/2024/2025),\nalthough we note that we don(cid:726)t account for any M&A benefit within our P&L estimates.\nSupply Chain Optimization to Reduce Complexity, Increase Efficiency and\nResiliency\nWhile supply chain challenges plagued KVUE during 2022 given input shortages and\ntransportation challenges, the company has undertaken efforts since 2019 to structurally\nimprove its supply chain by investing in digitization to increase efficiency and resiliency\nand by reduced complexity through external manufacturer rationalization.\nPre-pandemic, KVUE(cid:726)s supply chain focus was mostly on operational excellence,\nquality control, and margin maximization, but COVID tested the resilience and\nflexibility of the supply chain and uncovered a lack of redundancy that impacted\nproduct availability and service. The company noted that in 2021/2022 64%/63% of its\nscheduled capital spend for supply chain investments was allocated to digitization\n(automation), which ultimately allows for better demand planning, capacity, and\nresilience. Some examples include 1) shift to conditions-based maintenance from\nscheduled maintenance given better monitoring capabilities allows for better capacity\navailability while also alleviating labor challenges; 2) complexity reduction through\nSKU rationalization and product design standardization (e.g., bottle types) and reducing\nthe number of small external manufacturers (e.g., company eliminated 60% of small\nexternal manufacturers); 3) increasing dual sourcing and reducing specification on\ncritical ingredients to improve availability/resilience; and 4) integrated business\nplanning to optimize forecasting and inventory management, leading to better\nprofitability and cash flow.\n19\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 20, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nAll in, the company(cid:726)s in-house manufacturing footprint of 25 facilities accounted for\n56% of production volume in 2022 while the remaining 44% of production was handled\nby seven JNJ facilities under transition manufacturing agreements and 230 external\nmanufacturers (as noted above, a 60% reduction since 2019). Within the segments, Skin\nHealth & Beauty tends to be more out-sourced while Self Care is more in house. The\ncompany also operates 114 distribution centers and 38 customer service centers globally,\nwith distribution often operated in partnership with third parties.\nDigital Marketing Improving ROI as Company Shifts to Omnichannel\nAbout 6% of KVUE(cid:726)s sales are through pure-play e-commerce, but mix more than\ndoubles to 13% including retailer.com (largely in line with CPG peers), and the\ncompany(cid:726)s online sales have grown at a +20% CAGR from 2020 to 2022. One of the\ndrivers beyond the general shift of consumption to online channels is the company(cid:726)s\nfocus on digital marketing, which has taken shape over the past several years. In North\nAmerica, for example, the digital marketing spend accounted for 73% of total marketing\nspend in 2022, which was up from 59% in 2020 and 49% in 2019 and drove a +29%\nincrease in media ROI as of October 2022 and collective 13 points increase in U.S.\nhousehold penetration from 2019 to 2021. The company has pointed to digital\ninvestments driving improved social media engagement including for Neutrogena a\n660% increase in followers from August to December 2021 as a result of its SkinU\ncampaign on TikTok, which generated over 300 million social media impressions. The\ncompany has also focused a lot of its digital efforts outside of the U.S., in particularly in\nAPAC, which accounted for 63% of global e-commerce sales in 2020. Investments\nbehind digital media are largely table stakes for CPG companies at this stage as a cost-\nefficient and effective way to engage with consumers. Digital focus is likely to continue\nto be important, especially for segments or brands appealing to younger digitally-native\nconsumers like within Skin Health & Beauty. The company does continue to invest in\ntraditional media, although it largely depends on where the consumer is in that particular\nmarket.\nOpportunity for Margin Expansion as KVUE Exits TSA/TMA\nLooking ahead, one of the bigger areas for margin expansion opportunity for KVUE\nwill likely be in exiting transition services agreements (TSA) and transition\nmanufacturing agreements (TMA) with JNJ post-separation, which run on a cost-plus\nmodel. Of the roughly $100M in incremental costs associated with being a stand-alone\ncompany, we estimate that the TSA and TMA could be roughly 50-60% of the\nincremental costs (i.e., 30-40 bps margin opportunity of roughly 130 bps EBITDA\nmargin expansion modeled for 2022-2025).\nThe TSAs generally run for 24 months following the separation, although some services\ncould be provided for a longer period of time (less than 60 months) in certain\ncircumstances such as if the functions are limited by regulatory approval. The company\nnoted that it plans on working with JNJ in establishing its own stand-alone IT functions,\nwhich would run concurrent to the TSA and could account for less than a 100 bps\nheadwind to profitability and decline post-2023.\nThe TMAs cover Self Care products including certain Tylenol, Zyrtec, Mortin, Benadryl\nand other OTC products that represented less than 10% of KVUE(cid:726)s 2022 sales. Within\nthe TMAs, KVUE is responsible for demand forecasting (both binding and non-\nbinding), and JNJ will be responsible for sourcing raw materials and manufacturing. The\nTMAs have different lengths depending on product but in all cases phase out over a\n20\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 21, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nfive-year period (could be extended for three additional 12-month periods under certain\ncircumstances), and the company aims to exit most of the TMAs within three years.\nGenerally speaking the TMAs take a longer time to exit vs. TSAs given the time line for\nregulatory approvals or marketing authorization transfers.

Excluding these items management\nestimates 2022 volumes would have been up +1.7%. Historically, volume represented\naround two-thirds of KVUE organic growth with price/mix one-third, and looking ahead\npast 2023 we expect a return to this top-line growth mix as the company laps materially\nhigher pricing increases, likely by mid 2024.\nFor 2023, we estimate that roughly 45% of our +7.6% price/mix forecast results from\ncarryover pricing actions and that price/mix will contribute +8.2% to the top line in\n1H23 and +6.9% in 2H23. We estimate total volumes -1.6% for 2023 with 1H23\nvolumes roughly flat (+0.2%) and 2H23 volumes down around -3.4%. As noted above,\n1Q23 volumes came in +2.4% against +8.8% price/mix with strong volume\nperformance in Self Care (+7.1%) and Skin Health & Beauty (+4.3%) more than\noffsetting the decline in Essential Health (-5.5%). There were a number of drivers to the\nstronger than expected volume performance in 1Q23: 1) Self Care benefitted from a\nstrong cold, cough, and flu season in EMEA, driving higher incidence, and the segment\nalso benefitted from retailer restocking in the U.S. as most retailers exited 4Q22 with\nlower inventory levels; and 2) the Skin Health & Beauty segment benefited from easy\ncomparisons (lapped -8.6% volume decline in 1Q22) and inventory rebuild at retailers\n24\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 25, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nwith strength in Neutrogena (Hydro Boost) and Aveeno.

Prior to 2022, gross\nmargin expansion over the past few years has been driven by productivity (e.g., ZBB),\nrationalization of smaller third-party manufacturers (60% of small external\nmanufacturers eliminated), portfolio optimization (21% SKU reduction), and favorable\nsegment mix (higher margin Self Care growth).\nFigure 38: KVUE Gross Margin Bridge\n62%\n1.7%\n61%\n60% 0.4%\n2.1% 59.0% 0.1%\n59% 0.5% 1.0%\n58% 1.1% 57.4% 0.4% 58.1%\n57% 0.7%\n56.1% 0.1% -1.2% -4.0%\n56% -0.6%\n55%\nSource: Company reports.\nWe model for +54 bps gross margin expansion in 2023, slight -6 bps compression in\n2024, and +38 bps expansion in 2025, which would return gross margins to 2021 levels\nat 59.0%.\nWe see a number of drivers of gross margin expansion: 1) further optimization of\nsupply chain and COGS efficiencies; 2) rollover of 2022 pricing actions as well as\nincremental pricing in 2023 and beyond; 3) abating cost headwinds; and 4)\nfavorable segment mix with continued faster growth in higher margin Self Care\nand Skin Health and Beauty segments (although some Skin Health and Beauty profit\ngrowth likely to be reinvested).

On COGS, we estimate roughly 40% is in raw materials and inputs,\n30% in internal and external manufacturing costs, and the remaining 30% in other\noverhead, freight, and amortization. Within KVUE(cid:726)s cost buckets, raw materials are\nrelatively diversified, in our view, with resins, pulp and paper, agro chemicals (like\nethanol and glycerin), and packaging materials the largest exposures, although in total\nthese represent less than 20% of total COGS. From an FX perspective, the company\nhedges its transactional exposure for forecasted revenues, purchases, receivables, and\npayables, but it does not hedge translational risk.

The company noted that the products\ncovered under the TMA accounted for less than 10% of its sales in 2022. The TMA is\nbased on a cost-plus model and ranges in terms from 3 to 60 months depending on the\nproduct (3-60 months for Tylenol, 21-60 months for Zyrtec, 21-60 months for Motrin,\nand 21-60 months for Benadryl), although the company notes that these terms could be\nextended for up to three additional 12-month periods if there are issues, which we think\nwould be mostly due to regulatory processes and facility validation. Management\nexpects to be out of the TMA within three years for most of the products. Exiting these\nTMA agreements should allow for better margin profile over time as the company no\nlonger pays the markup associated with the agreement.\nRelative to peers, KVUE(cid:726)s adjusted gross margins (including amortization of definite\nlife intangible assets to make more comparable) compare favorably to most HPC and\nconsumer health peers (ranks below only HLN, RKT, and BEI) but are well below those\nof more pure-play beauty names. Overall, KVUE(cid:726)s category exposure to OTC and\nbeauty lends itself to strong gross margin profile vs. HPC more exposed to everyday\nessentials, and many companies in the peer set have also faced greater inflationary cost\npressures given COGS exposure more weighted to the oil complex, pulps, and\ntransportation/logistics costs.\nFigure 39: Gross Margins vs. Peers\nCY22\n80%\n70%\n60%\n50%\n40%\n30%\n20%\n10%\n0%\nGross Margin Average Median\nSource: Company reports and J.P.

As of May\n26, KVUE shares remain +19.5% above the IPO price. From a valuation perspective, at\nthe IPO price KVUE shares implied around 13.3x/12.7x our 2023E/2024E EBITDA\nestimate and 19.9x/19.3x our 2023E/2024E EPS including amortization of definite life\nintangible assets (or 17.7x/17.4x 2023E/2024E EPS excluding amortization of definite\nlife intangible assets as the company reports its adjusted earnings). Following the IPO,\nKVUE now trades at 15.5x/14.7x our 2023/2024 EBITDA estimates and 23.8x/23.1x\nour 2023/2024 EPS estimates.\nWe view the discounted valuation implied at the IPO price and attractive dividend yield\n(~3.6% at IPO) as compensating investors for potential overhangs arising from 1) JNJ\nstill owning ~89.6% of KVUE shares post-IPO with the intention to make a tax-free\ndistribution of additional shares likely by the end of 2023 (i.e., reduce ownership below\n20%); and 2) KVUE retaining potential outside\u2013North America liabilities tied to talc\nlitigation. We also believe JNJ wanted to set KVUE up for a successful offering given it\nwould still own such a meaningful stake in the business (i.e., price the ~10.4% well so it\nwould have better monetization on remaining ownership).\nDe-Consolidation Process on a Tax-Free Spin-Off or Split\nOn the potential overhang from additional liquidity coming to the market, we highlight a\nfew items to consider: 1) there are a number of ways ways JNJ could effect reducing its\nstake \u2013 a spin-off (i.e., pro-rata distribution of KVUE shares to current JNJ shareholder)\nor a split-off (i.e., exchange of JNJ shares for KVUE shares often at a discount), with a\nsplit-off more of an (cid:728)active(cid:729) decision to hold KVUE shares and thus may limit selling\npressure; 2) JNJ could decide to delay and/or not pursue a distribution of shares pending\nmarket conditions; and 3) while there is a 180-day lock-up on selling/disposing of\nshares post-IPO, our understanding is that the provision can be waived by the\nunderwriters. There are a number of precedent transactions including recently the split-\noff of Elanco (ELAN) from Lilly (LLY) in 2019 whereby LLY offered exchange for\nELAN shares at a 7% discount and in 2013 the split-off of Zoetis (ZTS) from Pfizer\n(PFE) whereby PFE offered exchange for ZTS shares at a 7% discount.\nTalc Liability Outside the US & Canada\nOn the potential talc liability, JNJ management on April 27 stated, (cid:728)As unequivocally\nand unambiguously stated, Johnson & Johnson has agreed to retain all the talc-related\nliabilities \u2013 and indemnify Kenvue for any and all costs \u2013 arising from litigation in the\nUnited States and Canada.(cid:729) KVUE will retain potential liabilities relating to talc\nlitigation outside of North America, but our understanding is that as of now there are\nonly a handful of active claims outside of the U.S. and Canada, but to date KVUE\nmanagement has not recorded any reserve liabilities relating to these claims, and the tort\nlaws and consumer protections outside of the U.S. and Canada are not as robust. KVUE\nplans to discontinue the sale of talc-based Baby Powder globally this year (already\ndiscontinued in the U.S. and Canada).\n33\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 34, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nBenchmarking Against Peers \u2013 HLN Anchor at Low End,\nAlready at CL Levels, PG Aspirational\nThe closest peer to KVUE, in our view, is Haleon (HLN, covered by Celine Pannuti)\ngiven similar category exposures (e.g., pain relief, cold, cough, allergy, oral), financial\nmetrics (e.g., sales, EBITDA, growth outlook), and geographic exposures (KVUE ~70%\ndeveloped markets vs. HLN roughly two-thirds).

KVUE has exposure to faster growing\ncategories like Skin Health & Beauty, while HLN has exposure to (typically) faster\ngrowing categories like VMS (notwithstanding post-COVID normalization and\nsomewhat discretionary nature of products); while overall DM/EM exposure is similar,\nKVUE has higher exposure to North America (~50%) vs. HLN (~37%) and lower\nexposure to EMEA and LatAm (KVUE ~29% combined vs. HLN ~39%), while APAC\nexposure is similar (KVUE 21%, HLN 23%). The most important difference, in our\nview, is the stronger brand portfolio of KVUE with seven brands in a number 1 position\nglobally, while HLN claims a number 1 position in digestive health and therapeutic oral\nhealth (under sensitive franchise for Sensodyne).

We also added a discounted\ncash flow valuation to where the stock could trade over the medium to longer term as\nthe company continues to execute against its growth priorities and improves margins.\nTo determine our target multiples for KVUE we use a blended average based on the\ncomparable analysis discussed above. Given KVUE(cid:726)s characteristics similar to HLN, we\nview it as the most direct comparable company and see investors anchoring valuation\nagainst it for now \u2013 as such in our target multiple analysis we assign a one-third\nweighting to HLN(cid:726)s multiple. We ascribe a one-third weighting to other Consumer\nHealth peers and one-third weighting to HPC & Beauty peers (i.e., in total two-thirds\nweighting to Consumer Health and one-third to HPC & Beauty). The lower weighting to\nhigher-multiple HPC & Beauty seems fair to us given generally slower growth/margin\nprofile vs. Beauty peers historically and less everyday use vs. HPC peers. We then\nassign a 70% weighting to EV/EBITDA as the primary valuation metric and 30% to\nDCF as a secondary metric. As such, our Dec 2023 price target embeds an EV/EBITDA\nmultiple of 15.1x, which is 0.4x below the current 2023E multiple for KVUE.\nTable 4: EV/EBITDA Multiple for Peer Sets\nTarget Multiple Blend\nEV/EBITDA Weighting Multiple\nHaleon 33% 13.9x\nConsumer Health ex-Haleon 33% 11.2x\nHPC & Beauty 33% 20.2x\nTotal 100% 15.1x\nSource: Bloomberg Finance L.P. and J.P.

Below we delve further into our\nanalysis by the different categories and brands. We also highlight the global note we\ncollaborated on last year (link).\nConsidering KVUE(cid:726)s key categories globally, including analgesics, allergy care,\nmouthwash, digestive remedies, baby care, body care, sun care, and smoking cessation,\nthe company has the largest global market share in mouthwash and smoking cessation,\nabove 30% each, with allergy care and baby care following in the mid to high teens,\ndigestive remedies, analgesics, and adult mass sun care in HSDs, and mass skin care\n(including face care and body care) at about MSD global market share as per data from\nEuromonitor.

Starting\nwith the mouthwash category, KVUE has a market share of about ~45% in the U.S. and\n~40% in the UK, with market share of roughly 30% in both Brazil and China.

The sequential changes are\nvaluable to check, but we caveat the data in absolute terms may not be very reliable\ngiven that it is based on consumers providing receipts, which we feel tends to skew\ntoward younger consumers, although the company notes matching to U.S. Census.\nUsing the HHP trends for the 52-week period ending 4/30, Tylenol (32.1%), Listerine\n(28.9%), and Neutrogena (25.6%, in the face care category) appear to have some of the\nhighest household penetration in the U.S., although the data shows a deceleration in\nHHP especially for the latter two brands. Note that Listerine(cid:726)s HHP has been worse\nrecently, while UW-rated Church & Dwight(cid:726)s TheraBreath HHP has improved (more\nbelow under NielsenIQ). Additionally, the data points to high private label HHP,\nespecially in the categories pertaining to the Self Care segment that we examined below.\nAs such, management noted that the U.S. Self Care business has higher private label\nexposure of about 25-30%, although this is much lower (~10%) for the overall company\nin aggregate.

Morgan\nMarket Share Improving in the U.S. Based on Tracked Channels\nWe carried out an in-depth analysis of some of KVUE(cid:726)s pertinent categories using\ntracked channel data (NielsenIQ) to gauge how the company(cid:726)s market performance\n(value and volume share as well as price) evolved over time, specifically in the U.S.\nHowever, base period dynamics limit the degree of read-through from tracked channel\ndata. We carried out a YOY analysis of the recent NielsenIQ data available (ending\n5/6/23) and also analyzed YOY data as of 12/31/22 (we will refer to this as prior year-\nend or (cid:728)PYE(cid:729)) to see how KVUE categories performed YTD as well as YOY data as of\n5/7/22 (we will refer to this as prior-year or (cid:728)PY(cid:729)) to see how KVUE performed in the\ncategories from a year ago (as of 5/6/23). These additional charts for PY and PYE are\nadded to the appendix for reference. Below we elaborate more on our findings.\nIn the four-week period ending May 6, KVUE posted modest positive dollar share\nperformance (+15 bps vs. -45 bps in the four-week period ending 12/31/22 or (cid:728)PYE(cid:729)\nand -152 bps four-week period ending 5/7/22) as the company gained dollar share in 11\nout of 19 categories (vs. eight categories as of PYE and six categories as of PY \u2013 both\nout of 19 categories) that we track for the company. As we show in the table below, the\nlargest share gains occurred in antiseptic (+456 bps vs. +418 bps as of PYE and +558\nbps as of PY) and baby bath (+408 bps vs. losing -18 bps as of PYE and -645 bps as of\nPY), besides the outsized growth in baby powder (+1,138 bps vs. losing -107 bps as of\nPYE and -377 bps as of PY), but this category makes up a very small percentage of\nsales in the U.S. as per the tracked channels. Conversely, the largest share loss occurred\nin baby lotion (-252 bps vs. -322 as of PYE and -49 bps as of PY) and facial skin care (-\n197 bps vs. -266 bps as of PYE and -291 bps as of PY), with more moderate share loss\nin cold & flu (-133 bps vs. -113 bps as of PYE but gained +159 bps as of PY). Given\nthat the 19 categories below account for roughly 78% of KVUE(cid:726)s sales in the tracked\nchannels, on a weighted basis, we estimate KVUE gained +15 bps (vs. losing -45 bps as\nof PYE and -152 bps as of PY) of overall value share but lost -54 bps (vs. -32 bps as of\nPYE and -83 bps as of PY) on a volume share basis in the latest four-week period\nending 5/6/23. KVUE retail price realization was up by ~15%, 15%, and 11% in the last\nfour, 13, and 52 weeks YOY.\nValue Share Improved Sequentially Driven by Pricing as Volume Share\nDeteriorated YTD\nSequentially, on a YOY four-week period basis, value share improved, but volume share\nappears to have deteriorated YTD, although the metric improved from PY especially as\n58\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 59, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\npricing at retail increased tremendously during the time line observed.

This is also evident in the brand share analysis as shown below with\nKVUE(cid:726)s Band-Aid well above the others.\nFigure 130: Wound Care Global Market Share by Company\n25.0%\n19.4% 19.2%\n20.0%\n15.0%\n11.0%\n10.7%\n10.0%\n5.5% 5.3%\n5.0% 3.6% 3.6%\n3.1%\n0.0%\n2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022\nKenvue Beiersdorf 3M Yunnan Baiyao Paul Hartmann\nSource: Euromonitor, J.P.

Morgan\nFor the U.S. alone, we analyzed the NielsenIQ data for both bandages and antiseptic\ncategories as part wound care. Within bandages, KVUE lost -72 bps of value share in\nthe four-week period ending 5/6/23 (vs. flat of -1 bp as of PYE but gaining +181 bps as\nof PY) and lost -176 bps of volume share in the four-week period ending 5/6/23 (vs. -\n111 bps as of PYE but gaining +260 bps as of PY) in the bandages category. There are\nother competitors outside of KVUE(cid:726)s main peers in the bandages category that we did\nnot capture in our U.S. analysis. KVUE(cid:726)s antiseptic category in the U.S. appears to be\nmuch smaller in comparison as per total category sales data from tracked channel. The\ncompany gained +456 bps value share in the four-week period ending 5/6/23 (vs. +418\nbps as of PYE and +558 bps as of PY) and +437 bps volume share in the four-week\nperiod ending 5/6/23 (vs. +463 bps as of PYE and +676 bps as of PY). Below we show\nhow both value and volume share performed for the 4, 13, and 52 weeks ending 5/6/23\nfor KVUE and some of its competitors for both the bandages and antiseptic categories.\n80\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 81, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nFigure 132: Bandages - Value Share Figure 133: Bandages - Volume Share\nFor Periods Ending 5/06/23, YOY (bps) For Periods Ending 5/06/23, YOY (bps)\n10 2 200 181\n- 150 138\n(10) 100\n(20)\n(20) 50\n(30)\n-\n(40)\n(39) (50) (26)\n(50)\n(60) (100)\n(70) (64) (63) (150) (127) (143)\n(72)\n(80) (200) (176)\nKENVUE PRIVATE LABEL KENVUE PRIVATE LABEL\n4W 13W 52W 4W 13W 52W\nSource: NielsenIQ, J.P.

As the largest pure-play consumer health company\nin the world, reaching 1.2 billion consumers daily, KVUE benefits from participating in\nlarge categories where reliability and performance matter for consumers. As such, we\nhighlight five KVUE attributes that underpin our positive view: (1) resilient top-line growth\nexpected, (2) room for margin expansion, (3) high cash flow conversion and shareholder-\nfriendly capital allocation, (4) management has a strong background not only with JNJ but\nwith other blue-chip CPGs with solid relationships with key customers, and (5) attractive\nvaluation.\nValuation\nDespite the strong share performance since the IPO, we view current valuation as attractive.\nOur Dec 2023 target price of $29 is based on a blended average of EV/EBITDA (based on\nblended average of HLN, Consumer Health, HPC & Beauty peers) and a DCF based on\nperpetual growth method. We assign a 70% weighting to EV/EBITDA as the primary\nvaluation method embedding 15.1.x EV/EBITDA off our 2024E EBITDA estimate of\n$4.0B (implies $27 per share) and 30% weighting to DCF as the secondary valuation method\nembedding $32 per share. KVUE currently trades at 15.5x our 2023E EBITDA and was\npriced at the IPO at 13.3x our 2023E EBITDA.\nRisks to Rating and Price Target\nWe believe the key risks to our OW rating and price target for Kenvue are (1) execution risk\ntied to the separation from JNJ, (2) potential talc litigation outside North America, (3)\nseasonality of cold & flu and allergy medicines, (4) inflation and supply chain volatility, (5)\nrisk of trade-down to private label due to deteriorating macroeconomic outlook or pricing\nactions (elasticity), and (5) share overhang from JNJ announced intention to de-consolidate\nKVUE, which may include a spin-off or split-off KVUE shares, leading to potential short-\nterm excess supply of shares.\n90\nT h is d o c u m e n t is b e in g p r o v id e d f o r t h e e x c lu s iv e u s e o f D A V I D W A N G a t M A R L O W E P A R T N E R S L P ."} {"page_number": 91, "text": "Andrea Teixeira, CFAAC North America Equity Research JPMORGAN\n(1-212) 622-6735 29 May 2023\nandrea.f.teixeira@jpmorgan.com\nKenvue: Summary of Financials\nIncome Statement - Annual FY21A FY22A FY23E FY24E FY25E Income Statement - Quarterly 1Q23A 2Q23E 3Q23E 4Q23E\nRevenue 15,054 14,950 15,662 16,289 16,973 Revenue 3,851A 3,947 3,911 3,953\nCOGS (6,587) (6,610) (6,800) (7,050) (7,246) COGS (1,726)A (1,738) (1,666) (1,671)\nGross profit 8,467 8,340 8,862 9,239 9,727 Gross profit 2,125A 2,209 2,245 2,283\nSG&A (5,061) (5,000) (5,305) (5,515) (5,659) SG&A (1,316)A (1,337) (1,310) (1,343)\nAdj.
