Second quarter sales increased to $441.8 million, compared to $340.8 million in the same period a year ago. This advance is primarily due to the acquisition of Armkel, which recorded sales of $79.0 million in the two-month period through May 28 last year that were not included in our consolidated con·sol·i·date

 of $59.8 million for the quarter was $18.4 million higher than the previous year's $41.4 million. Last year's results included the acquisition-related inventory charge of $4.1 million, and did not reflect Armkel's pre-acquisition operating profit of $9.2 million.

For the first six months, net income was $72.1 million or $1.07 per share, an increase of $0.31 per share over last year's net income of $49.5 million or $0.76 per share. Excluding last year's acquisition-related charges of $0.11 per share, this year's earnings of $1.07 per share would have been $0.20 per share or 23% higher than last year's adjusted $0.87 per share.

First half sales increased $225.7 million to $862.5 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Armkel which recorded sales of $192.7 million for the five months through May 28 last year that were not included in our consolidated results. Operating profit increased $47.1 million to $127.0 million. Last year's results included the previously-mentioned inventory charge, and did not reflect Armkel's pre-acquisition operating profit of $39.2 million.

At quarter-end, the Company had total outstanding debt of $771 million, and cash of $109 million, for a net debt position of $662 million. This is a $151 million reduction from the net debt position of $813 million at the comparable quarter-end last year.

CHURCH & DWIGHT AND AFFILIATES (Non-GAAP MEASURES)

Management uses the combined results of Church & Dwight and its unconsolidated affiliates, including Armkel prior to its acquisition in May 2004, in evaluating the financial performance of the business.

Second quarter combined sales of $456.2 million were $24.4 million or 5.7% above last year. Excluding foreign exchange gains of 1%, second quarter sales growth was approximately 4.7%.

At the product line level, household products sales were 6% higher due to strong growth for laundry Laundry can be:

As previously reported, the Company has taken price increases for about 20% of its domestic U.S. product lines, including cat litter, condoms, soap pads Noun 1. soap pad - a cleaning pad containing soap

 and certain specialty chemicals. The Company has also implemented pricing and size changes for about 20% of its laundry products, and expects to announce similar actions for many of its remaining laundry products during the second half. In addition, the Company is evaluating several operational improvement programs for possible implementation in late 2005.

Second quarter marketing spending increased to $51.2 million, 4% above last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined to $63.2 million, 8% below last year. This year's results included $3.8 million in tradename impairment Impairment

Second quarter combined operating profit increased to $63.6 million, a $10.8 million or 20% increase over last year's combined $52.8 million, and a $6.7 million or 12% increase over last year's operating profit adjusted for the acquisition-related inventory charge.

Six months combined sales were $889.8 million, which is $37.4 million or 4.4% above last year. Excluding foreign exchange gains of approximately 1.0%, and taking account of the first quarter calendar which was two days shorter than last year's, organic sales growth for the period is also estimated at 4.4%.

First half combined operating profit increased to $133.3 million, a $10.5 million or 8.6% gain over last year's $122.8 million, and a $6.4 million or 5% gain over last year's combined operating profit adjusted for the acquisition-related inventory charge.

During the quarter, the Company expanded distribution of several products introduced over the last several months. On the household products side of the business, these included Arm & Hammer Multi-Cat cat litter, Arm & Hammer Detergent Plus a Touch of Softener, and Arm & Hammer Carpet and Room Allergen allergen /al·ler·gen/ (al´er-jen) an antigenic substance capable of producing immediate hypersensitivity (allergy).allergen´ic

During the second quarter, the Company reviewed its major strategic initiatives as the basis for setting future priorities. A major outcome of this review is an increased focus on the development and marketing of products designed for healthier living, such as the recent condom, oral care and allergen reducer initiatives.

As part of this review, the Company also established financial objectives for the three-year period 2006-2008. Key objectives include average annual organic EPS growth of 10-12% a year, excluding acquisitions; average annual organic sales growth of 3-4% a year; gross margin improvement of 100 basis points a year; and significant debt reduction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

The following discussion addresses the reconciliations below and in this press release that reconcile non-GAAP and other measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP GAAP

 measures:

Adjusted Net Sales Net Sales

The amount a seller receives from the buyer after costs associated with the sale are deducted.

Notes:
This amount is calculated by subtracting the following items from gross sales: merchandise returned for credit, allowances for damaged or missing goods, freight
 

The press release provides information regarding combined sales adjusted to exclude the effect of foreign exchange adjustments and the impact of the Company's fiscal calendar. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted combined net sales is useful to investors because it enables them to assess, on a consistent basis, sales of Church & Dwight and unconsolidated equity investees products that were marketed by Church & Dwight or its unconsolidated equity investees during the entirety The whole, in contradistinction to a moiety or part only.

In addition, the exclusion of the effect of foreign exchange adjustments and the effect of the Company's fiscal calendar is useful to investors because currency fluctuations and the fiscal calendar difference are out of the control of, and do not reflect the performance of management.

Combined Gross Profit Margin and Combined Operating Profit

The press release also provides information regarding combined gross profit margin and combined operating profit. Management believes the presentation of combined gross margin and combined operating profit is useful to investors because the businesses of the Company and its unconsolidated equity investees are managed on a combined basis, and management uses combined performance measures to analyze an·a·lyze

 performance and develop financial objectives. Moreover, since the results of operations of the former Armkel business have been included in Church & Dwight's consolidated statements of income beginning on May 29, 2004, the information enhances comparability over the relevant periods.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure to investors because it indicates the Company's ability to generate liquidity in a fashion that will enable it to satisfy an important financial covenant covenant (kŭv`ənənt), agreement entered into voluntarily by two or more parties to do or refrain from doing certain acts. In the Bible and in theology the covenant is the agreement or engagement of God with man as revealed in the  in the Company's principal credit agreement.
