Flat OSG Performance in Last 3 Years Ending 2023, Due to Supply Chain
Constraints...
Despite the category growing at a +4.5% CAGR from 2019-2022, KVUE􀋖s SHB
segment has underperformed (3Y CAGR through 2022 just +0.1%) as the business
suffered through supply chain challenges that seemed to have a greater impact relative
to competitors, partially attributable to KVUE􀋖s exposure to sun care, which went
through challenges last year given silicone shortages, in addition to impacts from lost
usage occasions during the COVID pandemic (also impacted competitors). With that,
over the past three years SHB essentially contributed nothing to KVUE􀋖s organic
growth, and as of 2022, SHB volumes still stood around 3% below 2019 levels.
… Turning the Corner Accelerating to MSDs OSG in 2H22 and Low Teens in 1Q23
That said, KVUE appears to be turning a corner more recently in top-line trajectory
(albeit against a low bar) as the company undertook actions to streamline its supply
chain and build resilience (in addition to general easing of supply chain situation
globally). Specifically, 2H22 organic growth in the segment came in at +5.3% (+MSD%
in each of 3Q/4Q) vs. a -4.0% organic growth decline in 1H22, implying a 3Y CAGR in
2H22 of +1.5% vs. -0.8% in 1H22. Momentum has continued thus far in 1Q23 with
organic growth of +13.2%, and the segment seems to be on stronger footing now to take
advantage of favorable secular trends in the categories of body, face, and sun care.
