Edgewell Personal Care’s net sales were $488.8 million in the quarter, a decrease of 7.4%, as compared to the prior year period, and continued to be negatively impacted across most categories due to the effects of Covid-19. Excluding a $29.4 million negative impact from the sale of the Infant and Pet Care business, a $4.5 million positive impact from the acquisition of Cremo and a $4.2 million positive impact from currency movements, organic net sales decreased 3.5% compared to the prior year period. North America organic net sales returned to growth, increasing 3% compared to the prior year period, driven by growth in Sun Care, Wet Ones and Women's Shave. International organic net sales decreased 12% compared to the prior year period, driven by significant declines in Sun Care, softness in Wet Shave and cycling the impact of the prior year consumption tax pre-buy in Japan.
Feminine Care net sales decreased $8.4 million, or 10.8%, as compared to the prior year period. The decline in net sales was largely driven by distribution losses at Walmart, category softness due to Covid-19 related pantry loading in the fiscal second quarter, and the impact of increased competitive pressure. Feminine Care segment profit decreased $2.7 million, or 23.3% as compared to the prior year period, driven by lower volumes and higher compensation expense.
