Helen of Troy reports Q4 non-GAAP EPS $2.45, consensus $2.30

Reports Q4 revenue $489.2M, consensus $476.9M. Noel M. Geoffroy, CEO, stated: “We ended the year on a positive note, reporting fourth quarter results that exceeded our expectations while making critical progress toward our long-term growth and efficiency goals. The Q4 was highlighted by net sales and adjusted EPS ahead of our outlook, expanded gross profit and adjusted EBITDA margins, and strong cash flow generation that further strengthened our durable balance sheet. We are pleased to achieve these results despite an environment where consumers focused their more limited discretionary spending on experiences and services over products. I am proud of how our associates have embraced our new organizational model as a true global operating company designed to enable greater focus and centralized expertise.”
