Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (SMG) Profit by Segment

Reveals which business areas are most profitable, highlighting strengths and potential weaknesses in the company's operations and strategy.

Earnings are clearly concentrated in the US Consumer business with a recurring spring profit surge and weaker fall/winter quarters — that seasonal core is where SMG’s margin improvements and e‑commerce acceleration actually drive shareholder value. Hawthorne’s prior volatility has been removed via divestiture, and the massive jump in “Other” is a one‑time accounting event tied to that transaction, not repeatable operating strength. For investors, focus on sustained branded/e‑commerce mix gains, SKU rationalization and supply‑chain savings to lift sustainable margins, while watching commodity cost swings and e‑commerce margin gaps as key risks.
