EPC Leverage & Debt
Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Edgewell Personal Care Company carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 8.3x, which is highly leveraged (138% above the sector average of 3.5x). Net debt stands at $1.3B ($1.5B total debt minus $226M cash). Interest coverage of just 1.3x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.

EPC Liquidity & Efficiency
Short-term solvency ratios and asset-utilisation metrics
A current ratio of 1.76x means Edgewell Personal Care Company can comfortably meet its short-term obligations, though there is limited excess liquidity. The quick ratio of 0.90x is notably lower than the current ratio, indicating a significant portion of current assets is tied up in inventory. The current ratio has declined from 1.84x to 1.76x over the past 3 years.

EPC Shareholder Yields
Earnings, FCF, buyback, and dividend yields — total returns to shareholders
Edgewell Personal Care Company returns 11.1% to shareholders annually — split between a 2.7% dividend yield and 8.5% buyback yield. The payout ratio exceeds 100% at 115.4%, meaning the company is paying out more than it earns — this level is unsustainable long-term without earnings recovery. The earnings yield of 2.3% (inverse of P/E) provides a useful comparison to bond yields when assessing the stock's relative attractiveness to fixed income.
