Investment and Efficiency Program: The company is set to launch Project Energize, a three-year program aimed at enhancing its long-term business performance through the One Perrigo growth strategy.
The initiative, expected to begin in Q1 2024, focuses on increasing organizational agility and fortifying the infant formula business. Anticipated to yield annual pre-tax savings ranging from $140 million to $170 million by 2026, the company plans to reinvest $40 million to $60 million to support its blended-branded business model.
However, restructuring and associated charges, estimated at $140 million to $160 million, including $20 million to $40 million in investments by the end of 2026, are projected to lead to a net reduction of approximately 6% of total Perrigo roles.
Guidance: Perrigo forecasts fiscal year 2024 organic net sales growth of 1.0% to 3.0% compared to the prior year, with reported net sales flat.
The company expects adjusted EPS of $2.50-$2.65 versus consensus of $3.00.
Price Action: PRGO shares are down 15.3% at $27.25 on the last check Tuesday.
