Spectrum Brands highlighted the impact of U.S. tariffs and the global macro-economic environment on its operations. The company mentioned that changes to U.S. trade policy, especially on Chinese imports, have led to increased costs for sourced products, materials, and components, affecting its profit margins. To mitigate these impacts, Spectrum Brands adjusted prices, managed its supply chain, and engaged suppliers to support cost-sharing or expand supply chain diversification.
Additionally, the company reported on its strategic transactions, restructuring, and optimization initiatives, which resulted in incremental costs during the fiscal year 2025. These initiatives included the separation of businesses, transformation projects, and other project costs aimed at improving efficiencies and reducing costs.
