- Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 10.3% compared to 13.9%

Noel M. Geoffroy, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We are disappointed with the start to our fiscal year. We battled an unusual number of internal and external challenges in the quarter, which resulted in net sales and adjusted EPS below our outlook. Many of these challenges became more pronounced toward the end of the first quarter and some continue to evolve. We now see this fiscal year as a time to take action to reset and revitalize our business. As a result, we are lowering our annual outlook, which delays the delivery of the long-term financial algorithm in our strategic plan.”
“Despite the challenges we currently face, I remain confident the strategies we are implementing are the right ones to improve the long-term health of our brands, return our Company to positive sales and earnings growth, and deliver sustained shareholder value creation. Project Pegasus continues to provide us with fuel to fund our initiatives and organizational focus to capture opportunities and leverage our scale. We also invested in new talent and next-level data, analytics and capabilities to improve our effectiveness and productivity across the enterprise. As always, we believe that our success will be driven by the passion and dedication of our exceptional people who remain committed to our purpose, vision, values, and the actions we are taking.”

Consolidated Results - First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2024
- Consolidated net sales revenue decreased $57.8 million, or 12.2%, to $416.8 million, compared to $474.7 million, primarily driven by a decline in sales of hair appliances, prestige hair care products and humidifiers in Beauty & Wellness, and a decline in Home & Outdoor primarily due to lower replenishment orders from retail customers and the impact of the shipping disruption at the Company's Tennessee distribution facility due to automation startup issues affecting some of the segment's small retail customer and direct-to-consumer orders. These factors were partially offset by international growth and higher sales of fans in Beauty & Wellness.
- Consolidated gross profit margin increased 330 basis points to 48.7%, compared to 45.4%. The increase in consolidated gross profit margin was primarily due to a favorable segment mix with a higher percentage of Home & Outdoor sales at a higher margin, favorable inventory obsolescence expense year-over-year, and lower commodity and product costs driven by Project Pegasus initiatives. These factors were partially offset by a less favorable product mix within the segments, a less favorable customer mix within Home & Outdoor and higher sales dilution from trade discounts, allowances and promotional programs in Beauty & Wellness.
- Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) ratio increased 560 basis points to 40.9%, compared to 35.3%. The increase in the consolidated SG&A ratio was primarily due to planned higher marketing expense as the Company reinvested back into its brands, additional costs and lost efficiency associated with automation startup issues at the Company's Tennessee distribution facility, higher depreciation expense, unfavorable health insurance and product liability expense, and the impact of unfavorable operating leverage due to the decrease in net sales. These factors were partially offset by the favorable comparative impact of a charge of $4.2 million related to the bankruptcy of Bed, Bath & Beyond(5) incurred in the prior year period and lower share-based compensation expense.
- Consolidated operating income was $30.8 million, or 7.4% of net sales revenue, compared to $40.6 million, or 8.6% of net sales revenue. The 120 basis point decrease in consolidated operating margin was primarily due to an increase in the consolidated SG&A ratio, partially offset by consolidated gross profit margin expansion and a decrease in restructuring charges of $5.5 million.
- Interest expense was $12.5 million, compared to $14.1 million. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average borrowings outstanding, partially offset by a higher average effective interest rate compared to the same period last year.
- Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income tax was 66.1% compared to 15.5%, primarily due to the Barbados tax legislation enacted with immediate effect during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, which resulted in a discrete tax charge of $6.0 million to revalue deferred tax liabilities and an increase in tax expense from incorporating the impact of ongoing changes into the estimated annual effective tax rate.
- Net income was $6.2 million, compared to $22.6 million. Diluted EPS was $0.26, compared to $0.94. Diluted EPS decreased primarily due to lower operating income and an increase in the effective income tax rate, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.
- Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $52.4 million, compared to $72.4 million. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.6% compared to 15.2%.
On an adjusted basis (non-GAAP) for the first quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024, excluding the discrete impact of Barbados tax reform(6), Bed, Bath & Beyond bankruptcy(5), restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets, and non-cash share-based compensation, as applicable:
- Adjusted operating income decreased $23.2 million, or 35.1%, to $43.0 million, or 10.3% of net sales revenue, compared to $66.2 million, or 13.9% of net sales revenue. The decrease in adjusted operating margin was primarily driven by planned higher marketing expense as the Company reinvested back into its brands, additional costs associated with automation startup issues at the Company's Tennessee distribution facility, higher sales dilution from trade discounts, allowances and promotional programs, an increase in depreciation expense, unfavorable health insurance and product liability expense, a less favorable product mix within the segments and a less favorable customer mix within Home & Outdoor, and the impact of unfavorable operating leverage due to the decrease in net sales. These factors were partially offset by a favorable segment mix with a higher percentage of Home & Outdoor sales at a higher margin, favorable inventory obsolescence expense year-over-year, and lower commodity and product costs partly driven by Project Pegasus initiatives.
- Adjusted income decreased $23.4 million, or 50.0%, to $23.3 million, compared to $46.7 million. Adjusted diluted EPS decreased 49.0% to $0.99 compared to $1.94. The decrease in adjusted diluted EPS was primarily due to lower adjusted operating income and an increase in the adjusted effective income tax rate, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.
Segment Results - First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2024
Home & Outdoor net sales revenue decreased $18.7 million, or 8.6%, to $198.5 million, compared to $217.1 million. The decrease was driven by lower replenishment orders from retail customers, softer consumer demand, shifts in consumer spending, a global outdoor slowdown in packs and accessories, increased competition in the insulated beverageware category, and the impact of the shipping disruption at the Company's Tennessee distribution facility due to automation startup issues affecting some of the segment's small retail customer and direct-to-consumer orders. These factors were partially offset by new and expanded distribution, incremental sales from the launch of the travel tumbler, and an increase in international sales.
Home & Outdoor operating income was $15.9 million, or 8.0% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $22.1 million, or 10.2% of segment net sales revenue. The decrease in segment operating margin was primarily due to planned higher marketing expense as the Company reinvested back into its brands, additional costs associated with automation startup issues at the Company's Tennessee distribution facility, an increase in depreciation expense, the impact of unfavorable operating leverage due to the decrease in net sales, and a less favorable customer and product mix. These factors were partially offset by favorable inventory obsolescence expense year-over-year, lower commodity and product costs, and the favorable comparative impact of a charge of $3.1 million related to the bankruptcy of Bed, Bath & Beyond(5) incurred in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income decreased 38.5% to $21.1 million, or 10.6% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $34.3 million, or 15.8% of segment net sales revenue.
Beauty & Wellness net sales revenue decreased $39.1 million, or 15.2%, to $218.4 million, compared to $257.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in sales of hair appliances and prestige hair care products primarily due to softer consumer demand, shifts in consumer spending and increased competition, shipping disruption from Curlsmith system integration challenges, lower sales of humidifiers, primarily driven by reduced replenishment orders from retail customers due to a softer 2023/2024 illness season, higher sales dilution from trade discounts, allowances and promotional programs, and a decrease in water filtration primarily driven by the expiration of an out-license relationship. These factors were partially offset by an increase in fan sales.
Beauty & Wellness operating income was $14.9 million, or 6.8% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $18.5 million, or 7.2% of segment net sales revenue. The decrease in segment operating margin was primarily due to planned higher marketing expense as the Company reinvested back into its brands, a less favorable product mix, higher sales dilution from trade discounts, allowances and promotional programs, and the impact of unfavorable operating leverage due to the decrease in net sales. These factors were partially offset by favorable inventory obsolescence expense year-over-year, lower commodity and product costs, and a decrease in restructuring charges of $3.2 million. Adjusted operating income decreased 31.4% to $21.9 million, or 10.0% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $31.9 million, or 12.4% of segment net sales revenue.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow - First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2024
- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.1 million, compared to $38.9 million.
- Accounts receivable turnover(7) was 67.4 days, compared to 67.5 days.
- Inventory was $444.7 million, compared to $433.9 million.
- Total short- and long-term debt was $748.4 million, compared to $837.2 million.
- Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of the fiscal year was $25.3 million, compared to $121.1 million for the same period last year.
- Free cash flow(1)(2) for the first three months of the fiscal year was $16.2 million, compared to $109.2 million for the same period last year.
Pegasus Restructuring Plan
The Company previously announced a global restructuring plan intended to expand operating margins through initiatives designed to improve efficiency and effectiveness and reduce costs (collectively referred to as “Project Pegasus”). Project Pegasus includes multiple workstreams to further optimize the Company's brand portfolio, streamline and simplify the organization, accelerate and amplify cost of goods savings projects, enhance the efficiency of its supply chain network, optimize its indirect spending and improve its cash flow and working capital, as well as other activities. The Company anticipates these initiatives will create operating efficiencies, as well as provide a platform to fund future growth investments.
As previously disclosed, the Company continues to have the following expectations regarding Project Pegasus charges:
- Total one-time pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $50 million to $55 million over the duration of the plan, expected to be completed during fiscal 2025.
- Pre-tax restructuring charges to be comprised of approximately $15 million to $19 million of severance and employee related costs, $28 million of professional fees, $3 million to $4 million of contract termination costs, and $4 million of other exit and disposal costs.
- All of the Company's operating segments and shared services will be impacted by the plan and pre-tax restructuring charges include approximately $16 million to $17 million in Home & Outdoor and $34 million to $38 million in Beauty & Wellness.
- Pre-tax restructuring charges represent primarily cash expenditures, which are expected to be substantially paid by the end of fiscal 2025.
The Company also continues to have the following expectations regarding Project Pegasus savings:
- Targeted annualized pre-tax operating profit improvements of approximately $75 million to $85 million, which began in fiscal 2024 and are expected to be substantially achieved by the end of fiscal 2027.
- Estimated cadence of the recognition of the savings will be approximately 25% in fiscal 2024, which was achieved, approximately 35% in fiscal 2025, approximately 25% in fiscal 2026 and approximately 15% in fiscal 2027.
- Total profit improvements to be realized approximately 60% through reduced cost of goods sold and 40% through lower SG&A.
Fiscal 2025 Annual Outlook
The Company now expects consolidated net sales revenue in the range of $1.885 billion to $1.935 billion, which implies a decline of 6.0% to 3.5%, compared to the previous range of a decline of 2.0% to growth of 1.0%. The sales outlook continues to reflect the Company's view of lingering inflation and further consumer spending softness, especially in certain discretionary categories. The sales outlook now reflects the expected impact of executional challenges in the Company's Tennessee distribution facility, as well as its view of increased macro uncertainty, an increasingly stretched consumer, a more promotional environment, and retailers even more closely managing their inventory levels.
The Company's fiscal year net sales outlook now reflects the following expectations by segment:
- Home & Outdoor net sales decline of 3.0% to 1.0%, which includes the expectation of continued shipping disruption in the Company's Tennessee distribution facility through the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to the prior expectation of growth of 1.0% to 4.0%; and
- Beauty & Wellness net sales decline of 8.0% to 5.0%, compared to the prior expectation of a decline of 4.5% to 1.5%, both of which include a year-over-year headwind of approximately 1.0% related to the expiration of an out-license relationship in Wellness.
The Company now expects GAAP diluted EPS of $4.69 to $5.45, compared to the previous range of $6.68 to $7.45, and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $7.00 to $7.50, which implies an adjusted diluted EPS decline of 21.4% to 15.8%, compared to the previous range of $8.70 to $9.20.
The Company now expects adjusted EBITDA of $287 million to $297 million, compared to the previous range of $324 million to $331 million, which implies a decline of 14.6% to 11.8%, as benefits from Project Pegasus are reinvested for growth. The Company's outlook continues to reflect a year-over-year increase in growth investment spending of approximately 100 basis points and a year-over-year headwind of approximately 50 basis points from the expiration of an out-license relationship in Wellness. The Company's outlook now includes expected margin compression of approximately 60 basis points from incremental operating expense and lost efficiency related to automation startup issues at its Tennessee distribution facility, and margin compression from its view of a more promotional environment, a less favorable mix, and lower operating leverage due to the decline in revenue. The Company expects these factors to be partially offset by profit improvement actions implemented in the second quarter.
The Company now expects free cash flow(1)(2) in the range of $220 million to $240 million, compared to the previous range of $255 million to $275 million, and now expects its net leverage ratio(1)(3), as defined in its credit agreement, to end fiscal 2025 at 1.60x to 1.50x, compared to the previous range of 1.25x to 1.00x.
In terms of the quarterly cadence of sales, the Company now expects a decline in net sales of approximately 7% to 4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and a decline of 2.5% to growth of 1% in the second half of fiscal 2025. The Company now expects a decline in adjusted diluted EPS of approximately 45% to 35% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and a decline of approximately 3% to growth of 3% in the second half of fiscal 2025.
The Company's consolidated net sales and EPS outlook also reflects the following assumptions:
- the severity of the cough/cold/flu season will be in line with pre-COVID historical averages;
- June 2024 foreign currency exchange rates will remain constant for the remainder of the fiscal year;
- expected interest expense in the range of $44.0 million to $46.0 million;
- a reported GAAP effective tax rate range of 27.3% to 29.5% for the full fiscal year 2025 and an adjusted effective tax rate range of 20.7% to 21.3%; and
- an estimated weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 23.1 million for the full year.
The likelihood, timing and potential impact of a significant or prolonged recession, any fiscal 2025 acquisitions and divestitures, future asset impairment charges, future foreign currency fluctuations, additional interest rate increases, or share repurchases are unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated; therefore, they are not included in the Company's outlook.

HELEN OF TROY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Press Release
(1) |
|
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Net Leverage Ratio (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) that are discussed in the accompanying press release or in the preceding tables may be considered non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G, Rule 100. Accordingly, the Company is providing the preceding tables that reconcile these measures to their corresponding GAAP-based financial measures. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking expected net leverage ratio to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, in combination with the Company's financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of certain charges and benefits on applicable income, margin and earnings per share measures. The Company also believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures facilitate a more direct comparison of the Company's performance with its competitors. The Company further believes that including the excluded charges and benefits would not accurately reflect the underlying performance of the Company's operations for the period in which the charges and benefits were incurred and reflected in the Company's GAAP financial results. The material limitation associated with the use of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures is that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not reflect the full economic impact of the Company's activities. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not an alternative to GAAP financial measures, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on non-GAAP financial measures. |

Net leverage ratio is calculated as (a) total borrowings under the Company's credit agreement plus outstanding letters of credit, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, including readily marketable obligations issued, guaranteed or insured by the U.S. with maturities of two years or less, at the end of the current period, divided by (b) Adjusted EBITDA per the Company's credit agreement (calculated as EBITDA plus non-cash charges and certain allowed addbacks, less certain non-cash income, plus the pro forma effect of acquisitions and certain pro forma run-rate cost savings for acquisitions and dispositions, as applicable for the trailing twelve months ended as of the current period). |
