Bank CEOs meet with Trump to discuss Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - Bloomberg
NASSAU, Bahamas - Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ:HELE) reported fourth quarter earnings that fell short of analyst expectations on Thursday.
Helen of Troy shares were down -1.82% in premarket trading following the earnings release.
The consumer products company posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.33, missing the consensus estimate of $2.39. Revenue came in at $485.9 million, surpassing expectations of $482.24 million.
Net sales decreased 0.7% year-over-year to $485.9 million. The company said the decline was primarily driven by a decrease in organic business of $23.9 million, or 4.9%, partially offset by $23 million in sales from the acquisition of Olive & June.
Helen of Troy’s adjusted operating margin contracted to 15.4% from 17% in the year-ago quarter. The company cited higher marketing expenses, less favorable product mix, and a less favorable customer mix as factors pressuring margins.
"We reported fourth quarter net sales and adjusted diluted EPS that met the Outlook range we provided in January," said CEO Noel M. Geoffroy. "During the quarter we saw strength in Wellness, OXO, Osprey, and International, and a better-than-expected contribution from Olive & June."
For the full fiscal year 2025, Helen of Troy reported net sales of $1.91 billion, down 4.9% from the prior year. Adjusted earnings per share fell to $7.17 from $8.91.
The stock has declined about 15% over the past year.
