Project Pegasus on Track to Deliver $20M Fiscal 2024 Savings Target

Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ: HELE), designer, developer, and worldwide marketer of branded consumer home, outdoor, beauty, and wellness products, today reported results for the three-month period ended May 31, 2023.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company made changes to the structure of the organization as part of its global restructuring plan, Project Pegasus. As a result of these changes, the disclosures included herein reflect two reportable segments, Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness. The previous Health & Wellness and Beauty operating segments have been combined into a single reportable segment, which is referred to herein as “Beauty & Wellness.” Comparative prior period segment information has been recast to conform to this change in reportable segments.

Executive Summary – First Quarter of Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023

  • Consolidated net sales revenue of $474.7 million, a decrease of 6.6%
  • Gross profit margin improvement of 380 basis points to 45.4% compared to 41.6%
  • Operating margin of 8.6% compared to 6.7%
  • Adjusted operating margin of 13.9% compared to 13.6%
  • GAAP diluted EPS of $0.94 compared to $1.02
  • Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS of $1.94 compared to $2.41
  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $121.1 million compared to net cash used by operating activities of $38.4 million
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.2% compared to 14.9%

Julien R. Mininberg, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “I am pleased to report that first quarter financial performance exceeded our expectations despite continued pressure on certain categories from lower consumer demand and shifting buying patterns. Several Leadership Brands outperformed and also grew market share in the United States. International sales also outperformed during the quarter as our strategic choice to Double Down on International continues to pay off.

As expected, we significantly improved our gross profit margin and expanded adjusted operating margin during the quarter. We also delivered outstanding free cash flow as we further reduced inventory and improved working capital. In line with our stated objective, we used our strong cash flow to reduce our debt, putting us in a better position to deploy additional capital sooner. Pegasus remains on track and its structural changes are working across our Regional Market Organizations, Business Segments, and Shared Services. I am very pleased with how well our organization is executing, not only on Pegasus, but also across the many other initiatives underway to drive results this fiscal year and over the long term.”

Mr. Mininberg continued: “Today we are reiterating our outlook for the full fiscal year on sales, adjusted EPS, margin expansion, free cash flow, Pegasus savings, and year end net leverage ratio. We continue to expect adjusted EPS growth in the second half of fiscal 2024. Our outlook continues to include continued pressure on several of our categories as consumers continue to adjust their spending in an environment of inflation and interest rates that are expected to remain higher. Our retail partners now have more normalized inventory levels and are increasingly matching their orders to consumer demand after significant adjustments affecting nearly all consumer discretionary categories over the past year. Our focus remains on delivering consistent business results, using our strong cash flow to reinvest back into our business, and reengage our value-creation flywheel for sustained longer-term growth.”

Consolidated Results - First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2023

  • Consolidated net sales revenue decreased $33.4 million, or 6.6%, to $474.7 million, compared to $508.1 million, primarily driven by a decrease from Organic business of $39.0 million, or 7.7%. The decline in Organic business was primarily due to lower sales in seasonal fan, hair appliance, air filtration, humidification, insulated beverage, and houseware categories. The decreases were primarily driven by SKU rationalization efforts, softer consumer demand, shifts in consumer spending patterns, a decrease in club channel programs, reduced orders from retail customers as they rebalance trade inventory levels, and the impact of the Bed, Bath and Beyond bankruptcy. These factors were partially offset by an increase in sales of thermometry and prestige market hair care products, an increase in online channel sales reflecting improved retailer replenishment orders, stronger consumer demand for travel-related products, and growth in international sales. The Organic business decline was partially offset by the contribution from the acquisition of Curlsmith of $6.1 million, or 1.2% to consolidated net sales revenue.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin increased 380 basis points to 45.4%, compared to 41.6%. The increase was primarily due to the favorable comparative impact of EPA compliance costs of $9.5 million incurred in the prior year period, a more favorable product mix within Beauty & Wellness reflecting the benefits of SKU rationalization, a more favorable customer mix within Home & Outdoor, and lower inbound freight costs. These factors were partially offset by higher inventory obsolescence expense.
  • Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) ratio increased 40 basis points to 35.3%, compared to 34.9%. The increase in the consolidated SG&A ratio was primarily due to a charge of $4.2 million related to the bankruptcy of Bed, Bath & Beyond(7), the unfavorable leverage impact of the overall decrease in net sales, an increase in annual incentive compensation expense, and higher outbound freight costs. These factors were partially offset by the favorable comparative impacts of EPA compliance costs of $2.2 million and acquisition-related expense from the Curlsmith transaction incurred in the prior year period and lower share-based compensation expense.
  • Consolidated operating income was $40.6 million, or 8.6% of net sales revenue, compared to $33.9 million, or 6.7% of net sales revenue. The 190 basis point increase in consolidated operating margin was primarily due to the favorable comparative impact of EPA compliance costs of $11.6 million incurred in the prior year period, lower share-based compensation expense, the favorable comparative impact of acquisition-related expense incurred in the prior year period, a more favorable product mix within Beauty & Wellness reflecting the benefits of SKU rationalization, a more favorable customer mix within Home & Outdoor, and lower inbound freight costs. These factors were partially offset by restructuring charges of $7.4 million, higher inventory obsolescence expense, a charge of $4.2 million related to the bankruptcy of Bed, Bath & Beyond(7), increased annual incentive compensation expense, an increase in outbound freight costs, and unfavorable operating leverage.

  • Interest expense was $14.1 million, compared to $4.4 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a higher average interest rate, partially offset by lower average levels of debt outstanding compared to the same period last year.
  • Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income tax was 15.5% compared to 17.0%, primarily due to a decrease in tax expense for discrete items, partially offset by shifts in the mix of income in various tax jurisdictions.
  • Net income was $22.6 million, compared to $24.6 million. Diluted EPS was $0.94, compared to $1.02. Diluted EPS decreased primarily due to higher interest expense and lower operating income in Home & Outdoor, partially offset by higher operating income in Beauty & Wellness and a decrease in the effective income tax rate.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) decreased 4.2% to $72.4 million compared to $75.5 million. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 15.2% compared to 14.9%.

On an adjusted basis (non-GAAP) for the first quarters of fiscal 2024 and 2023, excluding acquisition-related expenses, Bed, Bath & Beyond bankruptcy(7), EPA compliance costs, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets, and non-cash share-based compensation, as applicable:

  • Adjusted operating income decreased $3.2 million, or 4.6%, to $66.2 million, or 13.9% of net sales revenue, compared to $69.3 million, or 13.6% of net sales revenue. The 30 basis point increase in adjusted operating margin was primarily driven by a more favorable product mix within Beauty & Wellness reflecting the benefits of SKU rationalization, a more favorable customer mix within Home & Outdoor, and lower inbound freight costs. These factors were partially offset by higher inventory obsolescence expense, increased annual incentive compensation expense, an increase in outbound freight costs, and unfavorable operating leverage.
  • Adjusted income decreased $11.5 million, or 19.8%, to $46.7 million, compared to $58.2 million. Adjusted diluted EPS decreased 19.5% to $1.94 compared to $2.41. The decrease in adjusted diluted EPS was primarily due to higher interest expense and lower adjusted operating income in Home & Outdoor.

Segment Results - First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2023

Home & Outdoor net sales revenue decreased $17.1 million, or 7.3%, to $217.1 million, compared to $234.3 million. The decrease was driven by a decline from Organic business of $16.8 million, or 7.2%, primarily due to a decline in the insulated beverage category and lower houseware sales due to a reduction in club channel programs and the impact of the Bed, Bath & Beyond bankruptcy. These factors were partially offset by an increase in online channel sales reflecting improved retailer replenishment orders and stronger consumer demand for travel-related products in the outdoor category.

Home & Outdoor operating income was $22.1 million, or 10.2% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $29.8 million, or 12.7% of segment net sales revenue. The 250 basis point decrease in segment operating margin was primarily due to a charge of $3.1 million related to the bankruptcy of Bed, Bath & Beyond(7), restructuring charges of $2.8 million, higher distribution expense, increased marketing expense, higher inventory obsolescence expense, an increase in outbound freight costs, and unfavorable operating leverage. These factors were partially offset by lower share-based compensation expense, a more favorable customer mix, and lower inbound freight costs. Adjusted operating income decreased 8.9% to $34.3 million, or 15.8% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $37.6 million, or 16.1% of segment net sales revenue.

Beauty & Wellness net sales revenue decreased $16.3 million, or 5.9%, to $257.5 million, compared to $273.8 million. The decline was driven by a decrease from Organic business of $22.2 million, or 8.1%, primarily due to lower sales of seasonal fans, hair appliances, and air filtration and humidification products primarily driven by SKU rationalization efforts, softer consumer demand, shifts in consumer spending patterns and reduced orders from retail customers as they rebalance trade inventory levels in line with softer consumer spending. The decline was partially offset by an increase in sales of thermometry and prestige market hair care products, growth in international sales, and the favorable comparative impact of shipping disruption in the same period last year caused by a weather-related incident involving an ancillary distribution facility. The Organic business decline was partially offset by the contribution of $6.1 million from the acquisition of Curlsmith.

Beauty & Wellness operating income was $18.5 million, or 7.2% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $4.1 million, or 1.5% of segment net sales revenue. The 570 basis point increase in segment operating margin was primarily due to the favorable comparative impact of EPA compliance costs of $11.6 million incurred in the prior year period, lower share-based compensation expense, the favorable comparative impact of acquisition-related expense incurred in the prior year period, a more favorable product mix driven by SKU rationalization efforts, lower distribution expense, reduced marketing expense, a decrease in legal fees, and lower inbound freight costs. These factors were partially offset by higher inventory obsolescence expense, restructuring charges of $4.6 million, higher annual incentive compensation expense, a charge of $1.1 million related to the bankruptcy of Bed, Bath & Beyond(7), an increase in outbound freight costs, and unfavorable operating leverage. Adjusted operating income increased 0.6% to $31.9 million, or 12.4% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $31.7 million, or 11.6% of segment net sales revenue.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow - First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2023

  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $38.9 million, compared to $49.3 million.
  • Accounts receivable turnover was 67.5 days, compared to 67.6 days.
  • Inventory was $433.9 million, compared to $613.6 million.
  • Total short- and long-term debt was $837.2 million, compared to $1,105.6 million as a result of strong cash flow in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of the fiscal year was $121.1 million, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $38.4 million for the same period last year.
  • Free cash flow(1)(2) was $109.2 million, compared to free cash flow of $(114.6) million for the same period last year, which include $7.1 million and $70.2 million of capital expenditures for the new distribution facility, respectively.

Restructuring Plan

The Company previously announced a global restructuring plan intended to expand operating margins through initiatives designed to improve efficiency and reduce costs (collectively referred to as “Project Pegasus”). Project Pegasus includes multiple workstreams to further optimize the Company's brand portfolio, streamline and simplify the organization, accelerate cost of goods savings projects, enhance the efficiency of its supply chain network, optimize its indirect spending, and improve its cash flow and working capital, as well as other activities. The Company anticipates these initiatives will create operating efficiencies, as well as provide a platform to fund future growth investments.

The Company continues to have the following expectations regarding Project Pegasus:

  • Targeted annualized pre-tax operating profit improvements of approximately $75 million to $85 million, which the Company expects to substantially begin in fiscal 2024 and be substantially achieved by the end of fiscal 2026.
  • Estimated cadence of the recognition of the savings will be approximately 25% in fiscal 2024, approximately 50% in fiscal 2025 and approximately 25% in fiscal 2026.
  • Total profit improvements to be realized approximately 60% through reduced cost of goods sold and 40% through lower SG&A.
  • Total one-time pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $85 million to $95 million over the duration of the plan, which are expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2024 and will primarily be comprised of severance and employee related costs, professional fees, contract termination costs, and other exit and disposal costs.
  • All of the Company's operating segments and shared services will be impacted by the plan.

Fiscal 2024 Annual Outlook

The Company continues to expect consolidated net sales revenue in the range of $1.965 billion to $2.015 billion, which implies a decline of 5.2% to 2.8%. This continues to include a year-over-year decline of $35 million, or 1.7%, from the removal of Bed, Bath & Beyond revenue from the outlook, and a similar sized reduction from the Pegasus SKU rationalization initiative. The Company's sales outlook reflects what it believes will be a continued slower economy and uncertainty in spending patterns, especially for some discretionary categories. The Company has seen some reduction of trade inventory on a sequential basis as many key retailers have lowered their inventory on hand and expects that sell-in will more closely match sell-through in fiscal 2024.

The Company’s fiscal year net sales outlook reflects the following expectations by segment:

  • Home & Outdoor net sales decline of 1.7% to growth of 1.0%; and
  • Beauty & Wellness net sales decline of 8.0% to 5.8%.

The Company expects GAAP diluted EPS of $3.81 to $4.67 and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $8.50 to $9.00, which implies an adjusted diluted EPS decline of 10.1% to 4.8%. This continues to reflect additional year-over-year expense from the restoration of annual incentive compensation expense to target levels, as well as higher interest and depreciation expense, totaling approximately $1.79, net of tax.

The Company expects consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $338 million to $348 million, which implies growth of 3.2% to 6.3%. Free cash flow is expected to be $250 million to $270 million. The Company's net leverage ratio(1)(3), as defined in its credit agreement, is expected to end fiscal 2024 at 2.0x to 1.85x.

In terms of the quarterly cadence of sales and adjusted diluted EPS, the Company continues to expect the majority of its net sales growth to be concentrated in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and adjusted diluted EPS growth to be concentrated in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2024. The Company expects a decline in net sales of approximately 8% to 6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company also expects to realize the benefits of debt deleveraging and lower inbound freight and product costs more fully in the second half of the year. Accordingly, the Company expects a decline in adjusted diluted EPS of approximately 20% to 30% in the first half of fiscal 2024, with near offsetting growth in the second half of the year.

The Company’s consolidated net sales and EPS outlook also reflects the following assumptions:

  • the severity of the cough/cold/flu season will be in line with pre-COVID historical averages;
  • June 2023 foreign currency exchange rates will remain constant for the remainder of the fiscal year;
  • expected interest expense in the range of $55 million to $57 million based on the current assumption the Federal Open Market Committee will increase interest rates by a cumulative 100 basis points during calendar year 2023;
  • a reported GAAP effective tax rate range of 21.0% to 19.0% for the full fiscal year 2024 and an adjusted effective tax rate range of 13.5% to 12.5%; and
  • an estimated weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 24.2 million.

The likelihood, timing and potential impact of a significant or prolonged recession, any fiscal 2024 acquisitions and divestitures, future asset impairment charges, future foreign currency fluctuations, additional interest rate increases, or share repurchases are unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated; therefore, they are not included in the Company’s outlook.

Notes to Press Release

(1)

 

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Net Leverage Ratio (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) that are discussed in the accompanying press release or in the preceding tables may be considered non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G, Rule 100. Accordingly, the Company is providing the preceding tables that reconcile these measures to their corresponding GAAP-based financial measures. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking expected net leverage ratio to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of certain charges and benefits on applicable income, margin and earnings per share measures. The Company also believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures facilitate a more direct comparison of the Company’s performance with its competitors. The Company further believes that including the excluded charges and benefits would not accurately reflect the underlying performance of the Company’s operations for the period in which the charges and benefits are incurred, even though such charges and benefits may be incurred and reflected in the Company’s GAAP financial results in the near future. The material limitation associated with the use of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures is that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not reflect the full economic impact of the Company’s activities. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not an alternative to GAAP financial measures, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on non-GAAP financial measures.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided (used) by operating activities less capital and intangible asset expenditures.

Net leverage ratio represents total current and long-term debt plus outstanding letters of credit, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, divided by EBITDA plus non-cash charges and certain allowed addbacks, less certain non-cash income, plus the pro forma effect of acquisitions and certain pro forma run-rate cost savings for acquisitions and dispositions, as defined in the Company's credit agreement.

The current and four prior quarters' ending balances of trade accounts receivable, inventory and equity are used for the purposes of computing the average balance component as required by the particular measure.
