Revenue Growth
Reviewing a company’s long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years.
With $2.99 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Energizer carries some recognizable products but is a mid-sized consumer staples company. Its size could bring disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from better brand awareness and economies of scale.
As you can see below, Energizer struggled to increase demand as its $2.99 billion of sales for the trailing 12 months was close to its revenue three years ago. This shows demand was soft, a rough starting point for our analysis.
This quarter, Energizer reported modest year-on-year revenue growth of 1.2% but beat Wall Street’s estimates by 1.2%.
Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to remain flat over the next 12 months. This projection is underwhelming and implies its newer products will not accelerate its top-line performance yet.

Organic Revenue Growth
When analyzing revenue growth, we care most about organic revenue growth. This metric captures a business’s performance excluding one-time events such as mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures as well as foreign currency fluctuations.
The demand for Energizer’s products has barely risen over the last eight quarters. On average, the company’s organic sales have been flat. 
In the latest quarter, Energizer’s organic sales rose by 2.7% year on year. This growth was a well-appreciated turnaround from its historical levels, showing the business is regaining momentum.
