5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

Metric	Latest	YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.	QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).	$1.8B	-6.4%	-14.4%
Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day.	$-899.0M	-826.4%	+164.4%
Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.	+45.7%	-4.7%	+3.1%
Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on).	+6.0%	-20.1%	+150.0%
Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales.	-50.3%	-875.8%	+175.2%
Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.	$131.9M	+58.7%	-108.2%
FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.	+7.4%	+69.4%	-109.6%
Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.	104.4%	+83.8%	-12.4%
Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.	1.71x	-14.2%	+4.0%
Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground.	$2.1B	-32.5%	-1.7%

Q1 2027

Unknown Speaker

Operator: Greetings. Welcome to the Helen of Troy Limited's first quarter fiscal 2027 earnings call. At this time, all participants will be in listen-only mode. The question and answer session will follow today's formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero from your telephone keypad. Please note this conference is being recorded. At this time, I'll turn the conference over to Anne Rakunas, Director, External Communications. Thank you, Anne. You may now begin. Anne Rakunas: Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Helen of Troy's first quarter fiscal 2027 earnings conference call. The agenda for the call this morning is as follows: I will begin with a brief discussion of forward-looking statements. Scott Uzzell, our CEO, will then share his thoughts and areas of focus. Brian Grass, our CFO, will provide an overview of our financial performance in the first quarter and outline our expectations for the full year fiscal 2027. Following our prepared remarks, we'll open up the call for Q&A. This conference call may contain forward-looking statements that are based on management's current expectation with respect to future events or financial performance. Generally, the words "anticipates," "believes," "expects," and other similar words are words identifying forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause anticipated results to differ materially from the actual results. This conference call may also include information that may be considered non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures are not an alternative to GAAP financial information and may be calculated differently than the non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other parties. The company cautions listeners not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or non-GAAP information. Before I turn the call over to Scott, I would like to inform all interested parties that a copy of today's earnings release can be found on the investor relations section of our website by scrolling to the bottom of the homepage. The earnings release contains tables that reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to their corresponding GAAP-based measures. We've also posted an investor presentation to our website. With that, I will now turn the conference call over to Scott. Scott Uzzell: Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. When we last spoke, we laid out our ambition to be a better company on the road to being a bigger company. Today, I want to share our progress on being a better Helen of Troy. We are focused on getting closer to the consumer, sharpening how we run our business. We're starting to see early evidence we're making progress. Our quarter one sales results came in ahead of our expectations across both our business segments. Our margin EPS performance reflect deliberate investment in brands, innovation, and people as …
