Julien R. Mininberg, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our fourth quarter results cap off an extraordinary year for Helen of Troy and an outstanding second year of our Phase II Transformation. I am very proud of the agility our organization demonstrated as we worked together with even more passion to address COVID-19’s unprecedented challenges to all aspects of the business. These efforts drove us past the $2 billion sales milestone, grew our market share for several key brands, and delivered outstanding operating cash flow, adjusted operating income, and adjusted EPS growth in fiscal 2021. During the year, our Leadership Brands once again led the way, now making up more than 81% of our sales and online sales grew to now represent 26% of total sales. Our strategic focus on international continued to bear fruit. The diversified nature of our portfolio provided consistency, with some categories benefiting from changed consumer behavior and some of our categories posting another year of strong growth based on the timeless power of consumer-centric innovation and outstanding execution. We were not shy about using this strength to further invest in projects intended to power our value creation flywheel, such as new product innovations for fiscal 2022 and beyond, IT, Direct-to-Consumer, expanded production and distribution capacity, and investments in much healthier inventory levels.”

“As we look to fiscal 2022, our all-weather portfolio of Leadership Brands is well suited to continue serving consumers. As COVID-19 lingers it favors our health-related brands. Other brands such as Hydro Flask, Drybar, Revlon, and HOT Tools are expected to benefit further as the post-pandemic landscape takes shape, and OXO is positioned to succeed in most environments. We have taken steps to address the uncertainties from the continued path of COVID-19 and emerging inflationary environment. We are working with our supply chain partners and have implemented cost mitigation measures to help offset expected inflation and will make pricing decisions to further address the situation as it evolves. We believe these actions will help us deliver on our Phase II average annual growth targets from our new elevated base and that adjusted EPS growth in fiscal 2022 is achievable. Our balance sheet has never been stronger, and we have ample liquidity and operational capability to fuel growth with a combination of organic expansion and acquisition. We believe our key strategic initiatives position us well to create significant additional shareholder value over the course of the remaining three years of Phase II.”

Consistent with its strategy of focusing on its Leadership Brands, the Company committed to a plan to divest certain assets within its global mass channel personal care business (“Personal Care”). The assets to be divested include intangible assets, inventory, net trade receivables and fixed assets related to the Company's mass channel liquids, powder and aerosol products under brands such as Pert, Brut, Sure and Infusium. The Company entered into exclusive negotiations with a selected bidder at the end of February and have largely agreed to the broader terms. The Company is currently working through the detailed negotiation of the various agreements and complexities needed to complete the transaction and hopes to have more to announce very soon. The Company defines Core as strategic business that it expects to be an ongoing part of its operations, and Non-Core as business or assets (including assets held for sale) that it expects to divest within a year of its designation as Non-Core.

Consolidated Results - Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2021 Compared to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020

• Consolidated net sales revenue increased $67.0 million, or 15.1% to $509.4 million compared to $442.4 million. The growth was driven by an Organic business increase of $53.9 million, or 12.2%, primarily reflecting growth in online, international, and brick and mortar channel sales. The Drybar Products acquisition also contributed $10.4 million of incremental net sales revenue for the eight week period prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition. These factors were partially offset by the adverse impact from February Winter Storm Uri which prevented the Company from shipping approximately $15 million of orders before the end of the quarter, COVID-19 related store traffic declines at certain retail customers and a decline in Non-Core business.

• Consolidated gross profit margin increased 1.7 percentage points to 45.2%, compared to 43.5%. The increase was primarily due to a more favorable channel mix within the Housewares segment, a more favorable product mix within the Organic Beauty business and Health & Home segment, and the favorable impact of the Drybar Products acquisition. These factors were partially offset by an unfavorable product mix within the Housewares segment and higher inbound freight expense.

• Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) ratio increased 4.3 percentage points to 38.7%, compared to 34.4%. The increase was primarily due to higher marketing and new product development expense, increased freight and distribution expense, and higher legal, patent defense and other professional fees. These factors were partially offset by favorable operating leverage, reduced royalty expense as a result of the extension of the Revlon trademark license, lower amortization expense, and travel expense reductions due to COVID-19.

• Consolidated operating income was $24.5 million, or 4.8% of net sales revenue, compared to an operating loss of $2.7 million, or 0.6% of net sales revenue. The increase in consolidated operating margin was primarily due to a higher gross profit margin and the comparative impact of lower non-cash asset impairment charges year-over-year. These factors were partially offset by an increase in the SG&A ratio.

• Income tax benefit as a percentage of income before tax was 2.7%, compared to income tax benefit as a percentage of loss before tax of 48.1%. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the comparative impact of tax benefits recognized on impairment charges recorded in both periods.

• Net Income was $22.2 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. Diluted EPS improved primarily due to higher operating income in the Beauty segment, which includes the favorable comparative impact of lower after-tax non-cash asset impairment charges, restructuring charges and acquisition-related expenses year-over-year, higher operating income in the Housewares segment, and the favorable impact of lower weighted average diluted shares outstanding. These factors were partially offset by an adverse impact of approximately $0.20 per diluted share from Winter Storm Uri, reduced operating income in the Health & Home segment and a lower income tax benefit.

• Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) decreased 16.8% to $48.6 million compared to $58.4 million.

On an adjusted basis for the fourth quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, excluding acquisition-related expenses, non-cash asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets, and non-cash share-based compensation, as applicable:

• Adjusted operating income decreased $11.1 million, or 20.5%, to $42.9 million, or 8.4% of net sales revenue, compared to $53.9 million, or 12.2% of net sales revenue. The 3.8 percentage point decrease in adjusted operating margin primarily reflects an unfavorable product mix within the Housewares segment, higher marketing and new product development expense, higher inbound and outbound freight and distribution expense, and higher legal, patent defense and other professional fees. These factors were partially offset by favorable operating leverage, a more favorable product mix within the Organic Beauty business and Health & Home segment, favorable channel mix within the Housewares segment, and travel expense reductions due to COVID-19.

• Adjusted income decreased $9.1 million, or 19.0%, to $38.8 million, compared to $47.8 million. Adjusted diluted EPS decreased 16.5% to $1.57, compared to $1.88. The decrease in adjusted diluted EPS was primarily due to an adverse impact of approximately $0.20 per diluted share from Winter Storm Uri and reduced operating income in the Health & Home segment. These factors were partially offset by higher operating income in the Beauty and Housewares segments, and the favorable impact of lower weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Segment Results - Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2021 Compared to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020

Housewares net sales revenue increased $17.5 million, or 12.1%, to $162.5 million, compared to $144.9 million. The increase was driven by an Organic business increase of $17.1 million, or 11.8%, primarily due to higher demand for OXO brand products as COVID-19 continued to keep consumers at home cooking, baking and organizing, which resulted in increases in online, brick and mortar, and international sales. These factors were partially offset by an adverse impact from Winter Storm Uri, the COVID-19 related impact of reduced store traffic at certain retail brick and mortar stores, increased competitive activity and strong new product releases in the prior year period. Operating income increased 16.0% to $16.2 million, or 10.0% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $14.0 million, or 9.6% of segment net sales revenue. The 0.4 percentage point increase was primarily due to favorable operating leverage, a more favorable channel mix, lower marketing expenses, and travel expense reductions due to COVID-19. These factors were partially offset by a less favorable product mix, higher inbound and outbound freight and distribution expense, and higher annual incentive compensation. Adjusted operating income increased 10.7% to $19.0 million, or 11.7% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $17.1 million, or 11.8% of segment net sales revenue.

Health & Home net sales revenue increased $42.8 million, or 23.0%, to $228.6 million, compared to $185.9 million. The increase was driven by an Organic business increase of $40.6 million, or 21.9%, primarily due to continued strong consumer demand for healthcare and healthy living products in domestic and international markets, primarily in thermometry and air purification, in both brick and mortar and online channels, mainly attributable to COVID-19. These factors were partially offset by declines in non-strategic product categories, a far below average cough/cold/flu season due to social distancing and remote schooling related to COVID-19, and an adverse impact from Winter Storm Uri on end-of-quarter shipments. Operating loss was $1.7 million, or 0.7% of segment net sales revenue, compared to operating income of $16.3 million, or 8.8% of segment net sales revenue. The 9.5 percentage point decrease in segment operating margin was primarily due to increased marketing and new product development expense, higher inbound freight expense, higher distribution costs, higher annual incentive compensation, and increased legal and other professional fees. These factors were partially offset by favorable operating leverage and a more favorable product mix. Adjusted operating income decreased 92.6% to $1.5 million, or 0.7% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $20.8 million, or 11.2% of segment net sales revenue in the same period last year.

Beauty net sales revenue increased $6.7 million, or 6.0%, to $118.3 million, compared to $111.6 million. The increase was driven by the incremental net sales revenue contribution from Drybar Products of $10.4 million, or 9.3% growth, for the eight week period prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition. Sales for the five week period subsequent to the acquisition anniversary date are included in Organic business sales. These factors were partially offset by an Organic business decrease of $3.8 million, or 3.4% due to a decline in Personal Care and an adverse impact from Winter Storm Uri on end-of-quarter shipments. Operating income was $10.0 million, or 8.5% of segment net sales revenue compared to an operating loss of $33.0 million, or 29.6% of segment net sales revenue. The 38.1 percentage point increase in operating margin reflects the favorable comparative impact of lower non-cash asset impairment charges, lower restructuring charges and lower acquisition-related expenses year-over-year. The increase in operating margin also reflects a more favorable product mix, reduced royalty expense as a result of the extension of the Revlon trademark license, lower amortization expense, lower bad debt expense, and travel expense reductions due to COVID-19. These factors were partially offset by increased marketing expense, increased inbound and outbound freight expense, higher personnel expense related to the acquisition of Drybar Products, and higher legal and other professional fees. Adjusted operating income increased 39.6% to $22.4 million, or 18.9% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $16.0 million, or 14.4% of segment net sales revenue.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights - Fiscal 2021 Compared to Fiscal 2020

• Accounts receivable turnover for fiscal 2021 was 68.6 days, compared to 67.0 days for the same period last year.

Fiscal 2022 Business Update

Due to the high level of business uncertainty related to the unpredictable path of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing disruption in global supply chains, and the volatility in the cost and availability of commodities, freight and other resources, the Company is not providing an Outlook for fiscal 2022 at this time. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business and financial results will depend largely on future developments that are impossible to predict at this juncture and outside the Company's control, including the duration of the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, the availability, adoption and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine, the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending. Additionally, surges in demand for certain products and shifts in shopping patterns related to COVID-19, as well as other factors, have strained the global freight network, resulting in higher costs, less capacity, and longer lead times across nearly all industries. With continued increases in demand and limited supply for containers, the market rates for inbound freight have increased several fold compared to calendar year 2020 averages. In order to adjust to the difficult and uncertain environment, the Company has implemented a number of mitigation and cost reduction measures that will remain in place until there is greater certainty and less variability. While we have not yet made all our pricing decisions, price increases are being considered, along with our other cost mitigation and reduction strategies.

Notes to Press Release

1. Organic business refers to net sales revenue associated with product lines or brands after the first twelve months from the date the product line or brand is acquired, excluding the impact that foreign currency remeasurement had on reported net sales revenue. Net sales revenue from internally developed brands or product lines is considered Organic business activity.
2. On January 23, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Drybar Products. As such, fiscal 2020 includes approximately five weeks of operating results from Drybar Products and fiscal 2021 includes a full year of operating results. Drybar Products sales prior to the first annual anniversary of the acquisition are reported in Acquisition. Sales from Drybar Products subsequent to the first annual anniversary of the acquisition are reported in Organic business.
3. The Company defines Core business as strategic business that it expects to be an ongoing part of its operations, and Non-Core business as business or assets (including assets held for sale) that it expects to divest within a year of its designation as Non-Core.
4. Amortization of intangible assets.
5. Non-cash share-based compensation.
6. Non-cash asset impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets. The impairment charges were related to assets of the Personal Care business classified as held for sale within the Beauty segment.
7. Charges incurred in conjunction with the Company’s restructuring plan (Project Refuel).
8. Acquisition-related expense associated with the definitive agreement to acquire Drybar Products LLC are included in SG&A for the three- and twelve-month periods ended February 29, 2020.
9. Leadership Brand net sales consists of revenue from the OXO, Honeywell, Braun, PUR, Hydro Flask, Vicks, Hot Tools and Drybar brands.
10. This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Core and Non-Core Adjusted Diluted EPS, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) that are discussed in the accompanying press release or in the preceding tables may be considered non-GAAP financial information as contemplated by SEC Regulation G, Rule 100. Accordingly, the Company is providing the preceding tables that reconcile these measures to their corresponding GAAP-based measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP 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 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 measures is that the non-GAAP measures do not reflect the full economic impact of the Company’s activities. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on non-GAAP information.
