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'sTennessee 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 ofBed, 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
-
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'sTennessee 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.

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
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
The Company now expects adjusted EBITDA of
The Company now expects free cash flow(1)(2) in the range of
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. |
