EL PASO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ: HELE), designer, developer and worldwide marketer of consumer brand-name housewares, health and home, and beauty products, today reported results for the three-month period ended May 31, 2019. Following the divestiture of Healthy Directions on December 20, 2017, the Company no longer consolidates the Nutritional Supplements segment’s operating results. That former segment’s operating results are included in the Company’s financial statements and classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Executive Summary – First Quarter of Fiscal 2020
-
Consolidated net sales revenue increase of 6.1%, including:
- An increase in Leadership Brand net sales of approximately 7.4%
- An increase in online channel net sales of approximately 28.0%
- Core business growth of 6.8%
- GAAP operating income of $47.2 million, or 12.5% of net sales, which included pre-tax restructuring charges of $0.6 million, compared to GAAP operating income of $43.3 million, or 12.2% of net sales, for the same period last year, which included pre-tax restructuring charges of $1.7 million
- Non-GAAP adjusted operating income increase of 6.9% to $59.3 million, or 15.8% of net sales, compared to $55.5 million, or 15.6% of net sales, for the same period last year
- GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $1.61, which included an after-tax restructuring charge of $0.02 per share, compared to GAAP diluted EPS of $1.43 for the same period last year, which included an after-tax restructuring charge of $0.06 per share
- Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations increase of 10.2% to $2.06, compared to $1.87 for the same period last year
Julien R. Mininberg, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “This quarter marks a great start to fiscal 2020 and Phase II of our Transformation, which we recently unveiled during our Investor Day on May 21st. Consolidated core business sales grew 6.8% and adjusted diluted EPS grew 10.2%, both well ahead of our expectations given the especially high year-ago base. Continued investment behind our Leadership Brands paid off handsomely, with net sales growth of 7.4% in the quarter. We continue to gain significant ground online with strong double-digit growth to now represent 23% of consolidated sales. Housewares had a stellar quarter, and strong Beauty appliance sales drove growth in that segment. As expected, our Health & Home segment faced a tough comparison to the very strong first quarter of last fiscal year. As a result of the strong start, we are pleased to raise our revenue and EPS outlook for Fiscal 2020.”
Mr. Mininberg continued: “We believe we have the right people, systems, and strategies in place to deliver on our Phase II goals over the next five years, powered by a flywheel of continued net sales and adjusted diluted EPS growth, further improvements to our shared services and operating capability, and a winning culture.”

Consolidated Operating Results - First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2019
- Consolidated net sales revenue increased 6.1% to $376.3 million compared to $354.7 million, primarily driven by a core business increase of $24.2 million, or 6.8%, reflecting an increase in brick and mortar sales in the Housewares segment, growth in consolidated online sales, and an increase in appliance sales in the Beauty segment. These factors were partially offset by lower international sales in the Health & Home segment, a decline in Personal Care sales within the Beauty segment, and the unfavorable impact from foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $2.5 million, or 0.7%.
- Consolidated gross profit margin decreased 0.5 percentage points to 40.8%, compared to 41.3%. The decrease is primarily due to the impact of tariff increases, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and higher freight expense, partially offset by the favorable margin impact from growth in Leadership Brands and a higher mix of Housewares sales.
- Consolidated SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased by 0.5 percentage points to 28.1% of net sales compared to 28.6%. The decrease is primarily due to the impact from pricing actions taken with retail customers, the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange and forward contract settlements, the impact that higher overall net sales had on operating leverage, and lower product liability claim expense. These factors were partially offset by higher annual incentive and share-based compensation expense related to short- and long-term performance, higher new product development expense, and higher advertising expense.
- Consolidated operating income was $47.2 million, or 12.5% of net sales, compared to $43.3 million, or 12.2% of net sales. The increase in consolidated operating margin was driven by the net favorable comparative impact of pre-tax restructuring charges of $1.1 million and lower SG&A as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a reduction in gross profit margin.
- Our effective tax rate was 7.6%, compared to 6.2% for the same period last year. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to shifts in the mix of taxable income in the Company's various tax jurisdictions and increases in certain statutory tax rates.
- Income from continuing operations was $40.7 million, or $1.61 per diluted share on 25.2 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to $38.2 million, or $1.43 per diluted share on 26.6 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Diluted EPS from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 included a net favorable comparative impact from after-tax restructuring charges of $0.04 year-over-year.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.6% to $63.3 million compared to $59.4 million.
On an adjusted basis for the first quarters of fiscal 2020 and 2019, excluding restructuring charges, non-cash share-based compensation, and non-cash amortization of intangible assets, as applicable:
- Adjusted operating income increased $3.8 million, or 6.9%, to $59.3 million, or 15.8% of net sales, compared to $55.5 million, or 15.6% of net sales. The 0.2 percentage point increase in adjusted operating margin primarily reflects the impact that higher overall net sales had on operating leverage, lower product liability claim expense, and the favorable margin impact from Leadership Brand growth and a higher mix of Housewares sales. These factors were partially offset by the impact of tariff increases, higher annual incentive compensation expense, higher freight expense, higher new product development expense, and higher advertising expense.
- Adjusted income from continuing operations increased $2.3 million, or 4.6%, to $52.1 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, compared to $49.8 million, or $1.87 per diluted share. The 10.2% increase in adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations was primarily due to the impact of higher adjusted operating income from the Housewares segment and the impact of lower weighted average diluted shares outstanding. This increase was partially offset by lower adjusted operating income from the Health & Home and Beauty segments.
Segment Operating Results - First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2019
Housewares net sales increased 23.6%, or $27.6 million, primarily due to point of sale growth and incremental distribution with existing domestic brick and mortar customers, an increase in overall online sales, and new product introductions. These factors were partially offset by lower international sales and lower club channel sales. Operating margin was 21.5% compared to 18.9%. The 2.6 percentage point increase was primarily due to the margin impact of more favorable product and channel mix, the impact that higher overall net sales had on operating leverage, and lower restructuring expense. These factors were partially offset by higher advertising investment to support new product launches and expanded distribution, higher annual incentive and share-based compensation expense related to short- and long-term performance, and higher new product development expense. Housewares adjusted operating income increased 35.3% to $34.4 million, or 23.7% of segment net sales, compared to $25.4 million, or 21.7% of segment net sales.
Health & Home net sales decreased 5.2% or $8.5 million, primarily due to a core business decline of $6.6 million, or 4.0%. The core business decline primarily reflects the unfavorable comparative impacts of international expansion and the tail end of a strong cough/cold/flu season in the same period last year. Segment net sales were also unfavorably impacted by net foreign currency fluctuations of $1.9 million, or 1.2%. These factors were partially offset by incremental distribution with existing domestic customers and early replenishment of certain seasonal categories. Operating margin was 9.7% compared to 12.0%. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of tariff increases, higher new product development expense, higher share-based compensation expense related to long-term performance, unfavorable operating leverage from the decline in sales, and the margin impact of a less favorable product and channel mix. These factors were partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange and forward contract settlements, and lower product liability claim expense. Health & Home adjusted operating income decreased 15.2% to $21.2 million, or 13.7% of segment net sales, compared to $25.0 million, or 15.3% of segment net sales.
Beauty net sales increased 3.4%, or $2.5 million, primarily due to sales growth in the appliance category, especially online, and growth in international sales, partially offset by a decrease in brick and mortar sales and a decline in Personal Care. Operating margin was 1.2% compared to 2.0%. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of higher freight expense to meet strong demand in the appliance category, the margin impact of a less favorable product and channel mix, and higher new product development expense. These factors were partially offset by lower advertising and amortization expense. Beauty adjusted operating income decreased 26.8% to $3.7 million, or 4.8% of segment net sales, compared to $5.0 million, or 6.8% of segment net sales.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights - First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2019
- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $18.4 million, compared to $16.9 million
- Total short- and long-term debt was $321.1 million, compared to $300.1 million, a net increase of $21.0 million
- Accounts receivable turnover was 66.8 days, compared to 62.6 days
- Inventory was $335.3 million, compared to $256.3 million. Trailing twelve month inventory turnover was 3.2 times compared to 3.1 times.
- Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased $13.2 million to $15.7 million.
Fiscal 2020 Annual Outlook
For fiscal 2020, the Company has updated its outlook and now expects consolidated net sales revenue in the range of $1.590 to $1.620 billion, which implies consolidated sales growth of 1.7% to 3.6%, compared to the prior expectation of 1% to 3%. By segment, the outlook reflects:
- Housewares net sales growth of 6% to 8%, compared to the prior expectation of 4% to 6%;
- Health & Home net sales growth of 2% to 3%, which remains the same; and
- Beauty net sales decline in the low-single digits, which remains the same.
The Company now expects consolidated GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $6.80 to $6.97, and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations in the range of $8.40 to $8.65, which excludes any asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense and intangible asset amortization expense.
The Company’s net sales and EPS outlook assumes the severity of the upcoming cough/cold/flu season will be in line with historical averages. The Company’s net sales and EPS outlook also assumes that June 2019 foreign currency exchange rates will remain constant for the remainder of the fiscal year. The Company now expects the year-over-year comparison of adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to be impacted by an expected increase in growth investments of 12% to 17% in fiscal 2020, compared to the prior expectation of 10% to 15%. The diluted EPS outlook is based on an estimated weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 25.3 million.
The increase in the adjusted diluted EPS outlook for fiscal 2020 reflects the Company's strong performance in the first quarter, partially offset by the expected impact of the new U.K. Offshore Receipts in respect of Intangible Property ("ORIP") tax, the expected unfavorable impact from the assumption that June 2019 foreign exchange rates will remain constant for the rest of fiscal 2020, and an expected increase in growth investments compared to the Company's original outlook. Combined, these items have an impact of approximately $0.20 per diluted share. The Company continues to expect adjusted EPS growth for fiscal 2020 to be concentrated in the second half of the year due to the strong performance comparison and specific events in the first half of fiscal 2019. The Company now expects growth in adjusted EPS for the first half of fiscal 2020 of 4% to 6% year-over-year.
The Company now expects a reported GAAP effective tax rate range of 9.9% to 11.9%, and an adjusted effective tax rate range of 9.1% to 10.7% for the full fiscal year 2020. Please refer to the schedule entitled “Effective Tax Rate (GAAP) and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (Non-GAAP)” in the accompanying tables to this press release.
The likelihood and potential impact of any fiscal 2020 acquisitions and divestitures, future asset impairment charges, future foreign currency fluctuations, further tariff increases, or further share repurchases are unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated; therefore, they are not included in the Company’s sales and earnings outlook.

HELEN OF TROY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Press Release
- This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted income, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA (“Non-GAAP measures”) that are discussed in the accompanying press release or in the preceding tables may be considered non-GAAP financial information as contemplated by SEC Regulation G, Rule 100. Accordingly, the Company is providing the preceding tables that reconcile these measures to their corresponding GAAP-based measures presented in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the accompanying tables to the press release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP 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 on applicable income, margin and earnings per share measures. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP measures facilitate a more direct comparison of the Company’s performance with its competitors. The Company further believes that including the excluded charges would not accurately reflect the underlying performance of the Company’s continuing operations for the period in which the charges are incurred, even though such charges may be incurred and reflected in the Company’s GAAP financial results in the near future. Additionally, the non-GAAP measures are used by management for measuring and evaluating the Company’s performance. The material limitation associated with the use of the non-GAAP measures is that the non-GAAP measures do not reflect the full economic impact of the Company’s activities. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on non-GAAP information.
- Leadership Brand net sales consists of revenue from the OXO, Honeywell, Braun, PUR, Hydro Flask, Vicks and Hot Tools brands.
