Helen of Troy said first-quarter fiscal 2027 results beat expectations, with consolidated sales up 8.2% as both Home and Outdoor and Beauty and Wellness posted growth. Management said the quarter showed early progress on a multi-year plan to restore growth and improve execution.
Gross margin and operating margin were pressured by tariffs, inventory obsolescence, and higher investment, although the company also highlighted improved leverage and lower inventory year over year. Free cash flow was slightly negative due to tariff payments, incentive compensation, and higher taxes.
The company raised full-year net sales guidance to $1.759 billion-$1.831 billion but kept adjusted EBITDA and EPS outlooks unchanged. Management emphasized continued investment in innovation, pricing discipline, e-commerce, and a new operating model rather than broad cost-cutting.
