- 2. Wells Fargo analysts commented, "Wet Shave 6.4% vs. our 4.5% est., Sun & Skin Care +2.6% vs. our +3.0%, Feminine Care 7.3% vs. our 10.0% and All Other flat vs. our 2.0%. Gross margin was 42.8% (420bps y/y), well below our estimate of 46.9%. SG&A exp was up +3.6%, above our expectations but adv & promo exp was lower, down 3.2%, with EBIT margin 8.1% (580bps y/y), well below our estimate of 12.6%. FY18 Guidance Raised on Tax Benefit: (1) Organic sales growth down ~1% (vs. prior flat to down slightly); (2) adjusted EBIT margin ~flat y/y (prior +2025bps); and (3) Adjusted EPS of $3.90$4.10 (prior $3.80$4.00), reflecting a $0.10 benefit from the Tax Act and vs. our/consensus $3.92/$3.84. EPC appears to be flowing the entire $0.10 tax benefit to EPS.
