AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG)

Scotts Miracle-Gro recasts fiscal 2024-2025 results to treat Hawthorne as discontinued

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 other Written later

Scotts Miracle-Gro filed revised historical financial data that reclassifies its Hawthorne business as a discontinued operation after the business met held-for-sale criteria in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The recast changes how sales, continuing operations and per-share results are presented for fiscal 2024 and 2025, but the filing does not change the company's reported total net income for those periods.

Key points

  • Fiscal 2025 net sales are revised to $3,255.8 million from $3,413.1 million previously reported.
  • Fiscal 2025 diluted income from continuing operations is revised to $3.10 per share from $2.47 previously reported, with a $36.9 million loss from discontinued operations.
  • Fiscal 2025 GAAP net income remains $145.2 million, and the revisions are filed alongside the Form 10-Q for the period ended December 27, 2025, filed February 4, 2026.
