AI Summary
Q2 2026

Results vs. Guidance: Net sales and adjusted EPS came in at or above the high end of Helen of Troy's outlook ranges for the quarter.

Revenue Decline: Consolidated net sales declined 8.9%, with organic net sales down 16% excluding Olive & June, mainly due to tariffs and soft consumer demand.

Tariff Headwinds: Significant tariff-related revenue and margin headwinds impacted the quarter, but management expects the impact to lessen in the second half as price increases take effect.

Segment Performance: Home & Outdoor sales fell 13.7%, while Beauty & Wellness organic sales dropped 18.2%. Olive & June was a standout, contributing $33.4 million in revenue.

Margin Pressure: Gross margin decreased 140 bps to 44.2%, and adjusted operating margin fell 360 bps to 6.2%, mainly due to tariffs and higher SG&A.

Guidance: Full-year net sales guidance set at $1.74B–$1.78B (down 8.8% to 6.7% YoY); adjusted EPS expected at $3.75–$4.25 (down 47.7% to 40.7% YoY).

CEO Transition: New CEO Scott Uzzell highlighted plans to streamline operations, prioritize innovation, and focus on core brands but noted recovery will take time with no quick fixes.

Tariff Mitigation: Actions include price increases, supplier diversification, cost cuts, and inventory management. Most price hikes are now in place, but some shipment holds remain pending full adoption.
