Church & Dwight Completes Purchase of Water Pik

8/8/17

EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE:CHD) has completed its previously announced acquisition of Water Pik, Inc., the market leader in water-jet technology in both oral water flossers and replacement showerheads.

The transaction was completed substantially under the original terms announced on July 17, 2017, which called for Church & Dwight to pay approximately $1 billion in cash at closing.

“Oral care is important to us strategically,” said Matthew T. Farrell, Church & Dwight Chief Executive Officer. “Waterpik represents a powerful addition to our existing oral care portfolio which includes ARM & HAMMER toothpaste, SPINBRUSH battery-operated toothbrushes and ORAJEL oral analgesics. The flosser products business is a fast-growing platform and capitalizes on the trends of increased gum disease, oral care awareness across all demographics and expansion of the middle-class in emerging markets. The Waterpik brand has a strong reputation among dental care professionals. Our oral care portfolio gives Church & Dwight a leading position in a growing category with tailwinds as the population ages and consumer interest in oral health continues to expand.”

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. manufactures and markets a wide range of personal care, household and specialty products under the ARM & HAMMER brand name and other well-known trademarks.
