What the filing says
Helen of Troy (HELE, $560.5M market cap) reported Q1 FY2027 net sales of $402.1M (up 8.2% YoY from $371.7M), with GAAP diluted EPS of $1.51 (vs. loss of $19.65 prior year). The prior year included $414.4M non-cash asset impairment charges; Q1 FY27 included a $54.9M pre-tax gain on sale of a Mississippi distribution facility (April 14, 2026). Adjusted diluted EPS fell 58.5% to $0.17 from $0.41, driven by tariff headwinds and unfavorable inventory obsolescence. Full-year FY2027 guidance raised net sales to $1.759–$1.831B (vs. $1.786B FY26), maintains GAAP EPS $3.57–$4.18 and adjusted EPS $3.25–$3.75.
Why this rating
Q1 sales beat modest; adjusted earnings declined 58%. One-time $54.9M facility sale masks weak operational momentum. Tariffs, inventory issues, and margin compression are material headwinds. Guidance raise is modest and hinges on cost discipline, not growth.
