Helen of Troy Limited reported a sharp downturn for the quarter and nine months ended November 30, 2025, driven by large non-cash write-downs. Quarterly net sales were $512.8 million, slightly below $530.7 million a year earlier, but the company posted a net loss of $84.1 million versus prior-year net income of $49.6 million. For the first nine months, sales were $1.32 billion while net loss reached $843.4 million compared to income of $72.8 million in the prior-year period.
The swing into loss reflects $806.7 million of pre-tax asset impairment charges year-to-date, including significant goodwill and trademark write-downs across the Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness segments. Goodwill fell from $1.18 billion to $530.2 million, and other intangible assets decreased from $566.8 million to $398.5 million. Despite this, operating cash flow remained positive at $59.8 million, and long-term debt stood at $892.4 million with cash of $27.1 million.
The company completed the acquisition of Olive & June for $224.7 million in initial cash consideration plus up to $15.0 million of contingent payments tied to 2025–2027 EBITDA. It also amended its $1.5 billion credit agreement, reducing the revolver to $750.0 million and temporarily allowing a higher maximum leverage ratio of up to 4.50x. In legal matters, Helen of Troy received a favorable Federal Circuit decision invalidating Brita LP’s asserted patent claims, and Brita has moved to dismiss the related district court case.
Helen of Troy Limited furnished an update on its business by issuing a press release with results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The company is providing this press release as an exhibit to this report and also making it available on its investor relations website.
The company includes forward-looking statements about future sales, expenses, earnings per share and operating results, and cautions that actual outcomes may differ due to a wide range of business, economic, operational, cybersecurity, regulatory, tax, and supply chain risks described in its prior annual report and other filings. The press release also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and provides reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP figures, while noting that these adjusted metrics have limitations and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP results.
Helen of Troy Limited entered into a First Amendment to its existing Credit Agreement with Bank of America and other lenders. The amendment reduces the revolving credit facility commitment from $1.0 billion to $750.0 million and adjusts interest rate pricing for higher leverage levels, so that when the Net Leverage Ratio is at or above 4.00 to 1.00, borrowings bear floating interest at the Base Rate plus a 1.375% margin or Term SOFR plus a 2.375% margin, with an additional 0.10% credit spread for Term SOFR.
The amendment also revises key financial covenants. The interest coverage test now uses a Consolidated EBITDA measure in the numerator, and the maximum permitted Leverage Ratio steps down over time, from 4.50 to 1.00 through August 31, 2026 to 3.50 to 1.00 from August 31, 2027 onward. Subject to conditions for a Qualified Acquisition, the borrower may elect a Leverage Holiday after August 31, 2027. Certain investment and indebtedness baskets are reduced until August 31, 2027, while customary events of default remain in place.
Helen of Troy Limited appointed its Chief Executive Officer, G. Scott Uzzell, to the Company’s Board of Directors effective November 4, 2025. He will serve as a director until the next annual general meeting of shareholders or until a successor is elected or appointed.
The Board does not plan to assign Mr. Uzzell to any Board committee, and he will not receive compensation for his Board service. The Board intends to nominate him for election at the next annual meeting. The Company states there are no arrangements or understandings tied to his appointment, no family relationships with current directors or officers, and no related person transactions under Item 404(a) of Regulation S‑K.
Helen of Troy Limited reported that Chief Legal Officer and Secretary Tessa N. Judge has notified the company of her voluntary resignation, effective November 28, 2025.

Ms. Judge will continue in her role through the effective date to support a smooth transition, and the company expressed appreciation for her contributions and leadership.
Helen of Troy Limited reported weaker first-half fiscal 2026 results driven by softer consumer demand, tariff pressures and significant non-cash impairments. Consolidated net sales for the six months ended August 31, 2025 were $803.4 million, down 9.8% from prior year, with Organic declines largely in Beauty & Wellness and insulated beverageware categories. Management recorded substantial pre-tax asset impairment charges of approximately $326.4 million (including goodwill, indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangibles) and operating losses that reflect those write-downs. The Olive & June acquisition contributed $60.3 million to year-to-date sales; purchase consideration included initial cash of $224.7 million plus contingent consideration up to $15.0 million. Net leverage and covenant flexibility are in focus: $625 million of debt was hedged with swaps and credit facility headroom was effectively limited to $212.7 million; management expects to seek a temporary covenant amendment. Cost actions, working-capital measures and Project Pegasus initiatives were initiated to preserve liquidity.
