NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

May 31, 2026

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Related Information

Corporate Overview

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, and the results of our consolidated operations for the interim periods presented. We follow the same accounting policies when preparing quarterly financial data as we use for preparing annual data. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026 (“Form 10-K”), and our other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

When used in these notes, unless otherwise indicated or the context suggests otherwise, references to “the Company”, “our Company”, “Helen of Troy”, “we”, “us”, or “our” refer to Helen of Troy Limited and its subsidiaries, which are all wholly-owned. We refer to our common shares, par value $0.10 per share, as “common stock.” References to “fiscal” in connection with a numeric year number denotes our fiscal year ending on the last day of February, during the year number listed. References to “the FASB” refer to the Financial Accounting Standards Board. References to “GAAP” refer to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.”). References to “ASU” refer to the codification of GAAP in the Accounting Standards Updates issued by the FASB. References to “ASC” refer to the codification of GAAP in the Accounting Standards Codification issued by the FASB.

We incorporated as Helen of Troy Corporation in Texas in 1968 and were reorganized as Helen of Troy Limited in Bermuda in 1994. We are a leading global consumer products company offering creative products and solutions for our customers through a diversified portfolio of brands. Our portfolio of brands includes OXO, Hydro Flask, Osprey, Vicks, Braun, Honeywell, PUR, Hot Tools, Drybar, Curlsmith, Revlon and Olive & June, among others. As of May 31, 2026, we operated two reportable segments: Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness.

Our Home & Outdoor segment offers a broad range of outstanding world-class brands that help consumers enjoy everyday living inside their homes and outdoors. Our innovative products for home activities include food preparation and storage, cooking, cleaning, organization and beverage service. Our outdoor performance range, on-the-go food storage and beverageware includes lifestyle hydration products, coolers and food storage solutions, backpacks and travel gear. The Beauty & Wellness segment provides consumers with a broad range of outstanding world-class brands for beauty and wellness. In Beauty, we deliver innovation through products such as hair styling appliances, grooming tools, liquid and aerosol personal care products and nail care solutions that help consumers look and feel more beautiful. In Wellness, we are there when you need us most with highly regarded humidifiers, thermometers, water and air purifiers, heaters and fans.

Our business is seasonal due to different calendar events, holidays and seasonal weather and illness patterns. Our fiscal reporting period ends on the last day in February. Historically, our highest sales volume and operating income occur in our third fiscal quarter ending November 30th. We purchase our products from unaffiliated manufacturers, most of which are located in China, Vietnam, Mexico and the U.S.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all of our subsidiaries. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in U.S. Dollars. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

Note 2 - New Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no changes in the information provided in our Form 10-K.

Note 3 - Gain on Sale of Distribution Facility

On April 14, 2026, we completed the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi for a total sales price of $82.0 million, less costs to sell of $3.8 million. Accordingly, we recognized a gain on the sale of $54.9 million within SG&A during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, which was recognized by our Beauty & Wellness segment. The final related property and equipment totaling $23.3 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $29.4 million, was derecognized from the condensed consolidated balance sheet. We used the proceeds from the sale to repay amounts outstanding under our credit facility.

Note 4 - Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

A summary of accrued expenses and other current liabilities was as follows:


(in thousands)	May 31, 2026		February 28, 2026
Accrued compensation, benefits and payroll taxes	$	21,193	$	33,838
Accrued sales discounts and allowances	52,154		44,209
Accrued sales returns	21,347		23,234
Accrued advertising	28,627		25,961
Other	65,432		72,364
Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	188,753	$	199,606

Note 5 - Goodwill and Intangibles

We perform annual impairment testing each fiscal year and interim impairment testing, if necessary. We write down any asset deemed to be impaired to its fair value.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we did not identify any circumstances or conditions which suggest that the carrying value of our goodwill and other intangible assets might be impaired and did not recognize any asset impairment charges.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we concluded that a goodwill impairment triggering event had occurred due to a further sustained decline in our stock price, resulting in our carrying value (excluding long-term debt) exceeding the Company’s total enterprise value (market capitalization plus long-term debt). Additional factors that contributed to this conclusion included downward revisions to our internal forecasts and strategic long-term plans, which reflected the tariff policies in effect and the related macroeconomic environment at the end of our first quarter of fiscal 2026, including the corresponding impact on consumer spending and retailer orders. These factors were applicable to all of our reporting units, indefinite-lived trademark licenses and trade names and definite-lived trademark licenses, trade

Table of Contents

names and certain other intangible assets. Thus, we performed quantitative impairment testing on our goodwill and intangible assets described above during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

We estimate the fair value of our trade names and trademark licenses using the relief from royalty method income approach which is based upon projected future discounted cash flows (“DCF Model”). We estimate the fair value of our customer relationships and lists using the distributor method income approach which is based upon a DCF Model. After adjusting the carrying values of our indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible assets, the Company completed quantitative impairment testing for goodwill. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach based upon projected future discounted cash flows.

Based on the outcome of these assessments, we recognized pre-tax asset impairment charges as follows:


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended May 31, 2025
Home & Outdoor (1)	$	219,095
Beauty & Wellness (2)	195,290
Total	$	414,385

(1)Asset impairment charges recognized for our Home & Outdoor segment included goodwill impairment charges of $93.3 million and $74.2 million related to our Osprey and Hydro Flask reporting units, respectively, trade name impairment charges of $37.0 million and $5.0 million related to our Hydro Flask and Osprey indefinite-lived trade names, respectively, and impairment charges of $8.8 million and $0.8 million related to our Hydro Flask customer relationships and other intangible assets, respectively.

(2)Asset impairment charges recognized for our Beauty & Wellness segment included goodwill impairment charges of $87.3 million, $32.4 million and $29.7 million related to our Drybar, Curlsmith and Health & Wellness reporting units, respectively, trade name impairment charges of $6.0 million, $3.9 million and $2.8 million related to our PUR indefinite-lived trade name and Curlsmith and Drybar definite-lived trade names, respectively, and impairment charges of $19.6 million, $10.7 million and $2.8 million related to our Revlon trademark license, Drybar customer relationships and Drybar other intangible assets, respectively.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, in connection with our annual budgeting and forecasting process, management reduced its forecasts for net sales revenue, gross margin and earnings before interest and taxes to reflect the tariff policies in effect and the related macroeconomic environment at the end of our first quarter of fiscal 2026, including the corresponding impact on consumer spending and retailer orders, as applicable. The revised forecasts also resulted in management selecting lower residual growth rates, which were also reflective of revised long-term industry growth expectations, and royalty rates, as applicable.

Note 6 - Share-Based Compensation Plans

As part of our compensation structure, we grant share-based compensation awards to certain employees and non-employee members of our Board of Directors during the fiscal year. These awards may be subject to attainment of certain service conditions, performance conditions and/or market conditions. In connection with our annual grant during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we granted 921,095 service condition awards (“Service Condition Awards”) with a weighted average grant date fair value of $16.47. Additionally, we granted 449,304 performance-based awards during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, of which 299,550 contained performance conditions (“Performance Condition Awards”) and 149,754 contained market conditions (“Market Condition Awards”), with weighted average grant date fair values of $16.47 and $12.35, respectively. Refer to our Form 10-K for further information on the Company’s share-based compensation plans.

Table of Contents

We recorded share-based compensation expense in SG&A as follows:


	Three Months Ended May 31,
(in thousands)		2026		2025 (1)

Directors’ stock compensation		$	196	$	196
Service Condition Awards		3,859		3,941
Performance Condition Awards		1,039		(4,526)
Market Condition Awards		838		124
Employee stock purchase plan		505		561
Share-based compensation expense		6,437		296
Less: income tax benefits		(424)		(157)
Share-based compensation expense, net of income tax benefits		$	6,013	$	139

(1)Share-based compensation expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 includes a benefit for Performance Condition Awards, as a result of a change in estimate from target achievement to zero percent achievement for Performance Condition Awards granted during fiscal 2024.

Unrecognized Share-Based Compensation Expense

As of May 31, 2026, our total unrecognized share-based compensation for all awards was $28.1 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of 2.3 years. The total unrecognized share-based compensation reflects an estimate of target achievement for outstanding Performance Condition Awards granted during both fiscal 2027 and 2026, and a weighted average estimate of 81% of target achievement for outstanding Performance Condition Awards granted during fiscal 2025.

Note 7 - Repurchases of Common Stock

In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of our outstanding common stock. The authorization became effective August 20, 2024, for a period of three years, and replaced our former repurchase authorization. As of May 31, 2026, our repurchase authorization allowed for the purchase of $496.8 million of common stock.

Our current equity-based compensation plans include provisions that allow for the “net exercise” of share-settled awards by all plan participants. In a net exercise, any required payroll taxes and federal withholding taxes due from the share-based award holders are settled by having the holder tender back to us a number of shares at fair value equal to the amounts due. Net exercises are treated as repurchases of shares.

For the periods presented, there were no common stock open market repurchases. The following table summarizes our share repurchase activity in connection with share-based compensation for the periods shown:


	Three Months Ended May 31,
(in thousands, except share and per share data)		2026		2025





Common stock received in connection with share-based compensation:
Number of shares		62,200		24,660
Aggregate value of shares		$	1,215	$	1,331
Average price per share		$	19.53	$	53.96

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

In fiscal 2022, we completed the sale of our North America personal care business to HRB Brands LLC (“HRB Brands”). After the sale, we were named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits related to the use of personal care products containing talcum powder, primarily Brut deodorant and Ammens powder sold by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Idelle Labs, Ltd. We tendered indemnification of these cases to HRB Brands, which assumed control of the defense of the claims. After many years, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, HRB Brands asserted that it was contesting the indemnification of these cases and tendered the indemnification back to us. Consequently, in order to protect the Company and its rights and defenses, we began to defend these cases. The Company maintains its position that HRB Brands is obligated to defend and indemnify the Company against these claims and plans to vigorously contest HRB Brands’ position. With respect to the talcum powder cases, we believe we have substantial defenses to the claims. The ultimate outcome of enforcing our indemnification claims against HRB Brands and the litigation relating to the talcum cases is inherently uncertain, and we cannot predict its resolution. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we paid approximately $1.0 million in settlements of these cases and accrued an additional $1.3 million for potential settlements and legal fees. As of May 31, 2026, we had an estimated liability of approximately $1.8 million . We cannot estimate the amount or range of amounts by which the liability may exceed the accrual established because of (i) the inherent difficulty in projecting the number of claims that have not yet been asserted or the time period in which future claims may be asserted, (ii) the complaints nearly always assert claims against multiple defendants where the damages alleged are typically not attributed to individual defendants so that a defendant’s share of liability may turn on the law of joint and several liability, which can vary by state, and (iii) the many factors, developments and inherent uncertainties involved with litigation that could affect the Company’s estimate of the liability.

On June 2, 2026, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a purported federal securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b‑5 relating to certain prior disclosures of the Company. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock between April 24, 2024 and October 8, 2025. The Company believes the allegations asserted in the complaint are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.

Tariff Refunds

On March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an additional ruling that importers that paid tariffs under International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) are due refunds and ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to begin the refund process for all importers who were subject to IEEPA duties. During fiscal 2026, we paid IEEPA tariffs totaling $80.5 million. On April 20, 2026, the CBP launched Phase 1 of a process for submitting IEEPA refund claims. We submitted Phase 1 refund claims in May 2026 totaling $6.0 million, a small portion of which were accepted by the CBP prior to May 31, 2026. As of May 31, 2026, we concluded that $1.9 million of tariff refunds were probable of being recovered and recorded a receivable within prepaids and other current assets, along with corresponding reductions to “Cost of goods sold” of $1.8 million and inventory of $0.1 million in our

Table of Contents

condensed consolidated financial statements. The tariff refunds recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 were all related to our Home & Outdoor segment. Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 2027, in June 2026, we submitted additional Phase 1 refund claims totaling $3.2 million related to our Beauty & Wellness segment. On June 29, 2026, CBP launched Phase 2 of the IEEPA refund claims process, which we are in process of preparing. As of July 1, 2026, we received partial payments totaling $1.6 million for our Phase 1 tariff refunds and an immaterial amount of interest. The Company will continue to monitor regulatory guidance regarding the refund process and will recognize additional recoveries when the right to receipt becomes probable.

EPA Regulatory Matter

During fiscal 2022 and 2023, we were in discussions with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) regarding the compliance of packaging and labeling claims on certain of our products in the air and water filtration and humidification categories within the Beauty & Wellness segment that are sold in the U.S. The EPA did not raise any product quality, safety or performance issues. As a result of these packaging and labeling compliance discussions, we completed the repackaging and relabeling of impacted products during fiscal 2023. We continue to have ongoing settlement discussions with the EPA related to this matter. As of February 28, 2026, we accrued an estimated liability of $4.4 million, which represents our best estimate of probable settlement costs related to this matter. For additional information refer to Part I, Item 2., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” including “EPA Compliance Costs.”

We have an amended credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders that provides for aggregate commitments of $1.25 billion, which are available through (i) a $750 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $50 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, (ii) a $250 million term loan facility, and (iii) a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility. Proceeds can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including funding permitted acquisitions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we borrowed $250.0 million under the delayed draw term loan facility and utilized the proceeds to repay debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we capitalized $0.4 million of lender fees and a de minimis amount of third-party fees incurred in connection with the delayed draw term loan facility borrowing, which were recorded as prepaid financing fees in long-term debt. The Credit Agreement matures on February 15, 2029. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature, which permits the Company to request to increase its borrowing capacity by an additional $300 million plus an

unlimited amount when the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), on a pro-forma basis, is less than 3.25 to 1.00. The term loans and delayed draw term loans are currently payable at the end of each fiscal quarter in equal installments of 1.25% of the original principal balance, with the remaining balance due at the maturity date. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear floating interest at either the Base Rate or Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin based on the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 0% to 1.375% and 1.0% to 2.375% for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings, respectively. We also incur loan commitment and letter of credit fees under the Credit Agreement ranging from 0.1% to 0.45% per annum and 1.0% to 2.375% per annum, respectively, based on our Net Leverage Ratio.

The floating interest rates on our borrowings under the Credit Agreement are hedged with interest rate swaps to effectively fix interest rates on $425 million and $325 million of the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings hedged with interest rate swaps was 3.3% as of both May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026. The Term SOFR interest rates as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026 were 3.6% and 3.7%, respectively. See Notes 10, 11, and 12 for additional information regarding our interest rate swaps.

As of May 31, 2026, the balance of outstanding letters of credit was $9.5 million, the amount available for revolving loans under the Credit Agreement was $491.2 million, and the amount available per the maximum Leverage Ratio was $168.5 million. Covenants in the Credit Agreement limit the amount of total indebtedness we can incur. As of May 31, 2026, these covenants effectively limited our ability to incur more than $168.5 million of additional debt from all sources, including the Credit Agreement.

Debt Covenants

As of May 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants as defined under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Note 10 - Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques under the accounting guidance related to fair value measurements are based on observable and unobservable inputs. These inputs are classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1:Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2:Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3:Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Table of Contents

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

All of our financial assets and liabilities, except for our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and our contingent consideration liability, are classified as Level 2 because their valuation is dependent on observable inputs and other quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or model-derived valuations whose significant value drivers are observable. Our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills are classified as Level 1 because their value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Our contingent consideration liability is classified as Level 3 because its valuation is primarily based on a significant input unobservable in the market, specifically, projected adjusted EBITDA derived from internal forecasts.

The following table presents the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities:


	Fair Value
(in thousands)	May 31, 2026		February 28, 2026
Assets:
Cash equivalents (money market accounts)	$	6,655	$	4,189
U.S. Treasury Bills	11,138		11,175
Interest rate swaps	1,729		381
Foreign currency derivatives	1,202		375
Total assets	$	20,724	$	16,120

Liabilities:

Contingent consideration	400		5,400
Foreign currency derivatives	1,563		2,954
Total liabilities	$	1,963	$	8,550

All of our financial assets and liabilities, except for our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills are recorded at amortized cost. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, the current carrying amounts of our U.S. Treasury Bills were $2.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and were included within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, the non-current carrying amounts of our U.S. Treasury Bills were $8.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively, and were included within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and income taxes receivable and payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amounts of receivables approximate fair value due to the effect of the related allowance for credit losses. The carrying amount of our floating rate long-term debt approximates its fair value.

Our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills are classified as held-to-maturity because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. We invest in U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities ranging from two to five years. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, gross unrealized gains were immaterial and $0.1 million, respectively, and losses were not material for both periods. During both the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized interest income on these investments of $0.1 million, which is included in “Non-operating income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Table of Contents

We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. All of our derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. See Notes 11 and 12 for more information on our derivatives.

In connection with the acquisition of Olive & June in December 2024, we recognized contingent consideration, as a result of the total purchase consideration including contingent cash consideration of up to $15.0 million payable annually in three equal installments subject to Olive & June achieving certain adjusted EBITDA targets during calendar years 2025, 2026 and 2027. If the annual adjusted EBITDA target is not met, no payment is required. As of the acquisition date, we recorded a liability for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of $4.1 million. This contingent consideration liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period until the contingency is resolved, with changes in fair value recognized in SG&A. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes projected adjusted EBITDA and corresponding volatility and discount rates to estimate the probability of the adjusted EBITDA targets being achieved. The projected adjusted EBITDA during the earn-out period was derived from internal forecasts and represents a Level 3 input, and was discounted using an estimated discount rate of 14% and 13% as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA volatility was calculated based upon peer companies, and the third quartile of 33% and 41% was selected as a key input into the Monte Carlo simulation model as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. In the simulated scenarios where a payment is earned, the projected contingent payments were discounted using an estimated credit risk discount rate of 6.9% and 6.6%, as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. Changes in these inputs may result in a significant increase or decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability with a corresponding impact to SG&A.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the changes in our Level 3 contingent consideration liability:

(2)As of May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $0.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of which $0.3 million and $1.8 million was included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, and $0.1 million and $2.3 million was included within other liabilities, non-current, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 11 - Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Foreign Currency Risk

The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for the Company and all of its subsidiaries and is also the reporting currency for the Company. By operating internationally, we are subject to foreign currency risk from transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar (“foreign currencies”). Such transactions include sales and operating expenses. As a result of such transactions, portions of our cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are denominated in foreign currencies. Approximately

Table of Contents

15% and 16% of our net sales revenue was denominated in foreign currencies during the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These sales were primarily denominated in Euros, British Pounds and Canadian Dollars. We make most of our inventory purchases from manufacturers in Asia and primarily use the U.S. Dollar for such purchases.

In our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss), foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of foreign income tax receivables and payables and deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized in income tax expense, and all other foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses are recognized in SG&A. During the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded a foreign currency exchange rate net loss of an immaterial amount and a net gain of $6.6 million, respectively, in income tax expense. During the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded a foreign currency exchange rate net loss of $0.5 million and a net gain of $1.7 million, respectively, in SG&A. We mitigate certain foreign currency exchange rate risk by using forward contracts to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We do not enter into any derivatives or similar instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Certain of our forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges (“foreign currency contracts”) and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“OCI”) until the hedge transaction is settled, at which point amounts are reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) to our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Foreign currency derivatives for which we have not elected hedge accounting consist of certain forward contracts, and any changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). These undesignated derivatives are used to hedge monetary net asset and liability positions. Cash flows from our foreign currency derivatives are classified as cash flows from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, which is consistent with the classification of the cash flows from the underlying hedged item. We evaluate our derivatives designated as cash flow hedges each quarter to assess hedge effectiveness.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest on our outstanding debt as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026 is based on variable floating interest rates. If short-term interest rates increase, we will incur higher interest expense on any future outstanding balances of floating rate debt. Floating interest rates are hedged with interest rate swaps to effectively fix interest rates on a portion of our outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement, which totaled $720.5 million and $785.5 million as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, $425 million and $325 million of the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement, respectively, was hedged with interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate we pay. Our interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in OCI until the hedge transaction is settled, at which point amounts are reclassified from AOCI to our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Cash flows from our interest rate swaps are classified as cash flows from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, which is consistent with the classification of the cash flows from the underlying hedged item. We evaluate our derivatives designated as cash flow hedges each quarter to assess hedge effectiveness.

We expect a net gain of $0.8 million associated with foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps currently recorded in AOCI to be reclassified into income over the next twelve months. The amount ultimately realized, however, will differ as exchange rates and interest rates change and the underlying contracts settle. See Notes 10 and 12 for more information.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Financial instruments, including foreign currency contracts, forward contracts and interest rate swaps, expose us to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk by only dealing with counterparties who are substantial international financial institutions with significant experience using such derivative instruments. We believe that the risk of incurring credit losses is remote.

Note 13 - Segment and Geographic Information

Segment Information

We operate through two strategic business divisions, each comprised of operating segments organized by our brands and product lines. Operating segments with similar economic and qualitative characteristics are aggregated into our two reportable segments, which align with our strategic business divisions. Our two reportable segments consist of Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness. For additional information on our segments refer to Note 1.

Segment financial information is prepared in accordance with GAAP and our significant accounting policies described in Note 1 of our Form 10-K. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed using segment operating income by our Chief Executive Officer, whom we have determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Our CODM utilizes segment operating income when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments, predominantly in the annual budget and quarterly forecasting processes. In addition, our CODM uses operating income, including comparison of actual results to budget and forecast, in assessing the performance of each segment and in evaluating product pricing, distribution strategies and marketing investments. Our CODM reviews balance sheet information at a consolidated level. We compute segment operating income based on net sales revenue, less cost of goods sold, SG&A, asset impairment charges and restructuring charges. The SG&A used to compute each segment’s operating income is directly associated with the segment, plus shared services and corporate overhead expenses that are allocable to the segment. We do not allocate non-operating income and expense, including interest or income taxes, to operating segments.

Note 14 - Income Taxes

We reorganized the Company in Bermuda in 1994, and many of our foreign subsidiaries are not directly or indirectly owned by a U.S. parent. As such, a significant portion of our foreign income is not subject to U.S. taxation on a permanent basis under current law. Additionally, our intangible assets are primarily owned by foreign affiliates, resulting in proportionally higher earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates lower than the U.S. Taxable income in each jurisdiction, whether U.S. or foreign, is determined by the subsidiary’s operating results as well as applicable transfer pricing and tax regulations.

For interim periods, our income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based on an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the impact of discrete items recognized in the period. Discrete items include changes in tax laws or rates, changes in estimates for uncertain tax positions, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from stock-based compensation, foreign currency remeasurement effects that are not reasonably estimable, and other infrequent or non-recurring items. Discrete items do not include the asset impairment charges described below and in Note 5.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we recognized goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $414.4 million, which included $265.0 million of non-deductible goodwill that did not result in a tax benefit. The tax benefit on the impairment charge of $24.2 million was recognized over the course of fiscal 2026 in relation to pre-tax book income, rather than as a discrete item in the period in which the charges were incurred.

The downward revisions to our internal forecasts utilized in our impairment testing during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 impacted our assessment of the future realizability of a related deferred tax asset, which led to the recording of a discrete $16.5 million valuation allowance during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

For the three months ended May 31, 2026, income tax expense was $12.6 million on pre-tax income of $48.3 million, compared to income tax expense of $30.2 million on a pre-tax loss of $420.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease in tax expense is primarily due to the comparative impact of non-deductible impairment charges and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets recorded during the same period last year, partially offset by the tax expense recognized for the gain on the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi.

Note 15 - Earnings Per Share

We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of dilutive securities. Dilutive securities at any given point in time consist of issued and contingently issuable unvested restricted stock units, performance stock units, restricted stock awards and performance restricted stock awards. Anti-dilutive securities are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1., “Financial Statements.” The various sections of this MD&A contain a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations. Actual results may differ materially due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” following this MD&A, and in Item 3., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report, as well as in Part I, Item IA., “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026 (“Form 10-K”) and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). When used in this MD&A, unless otherwise indicated or the context suggests otherwise, references to “the Company”, “our Company”, “Helen of Troy”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Helen of Troy Limited and its subsidiaries. References to “fiscal” in connection with a numeric year number denotes our fiscal year ending on the last day of February, during the year number listed.

This MD&A, including the tables under the headings “Operating Income (Loss), Operating Margin, Adjusted Operating Income (non-GAAP) and Adjusted Operating Margin (non-GAAP) by Segment” and “Net Income (Loss), Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Adjusted Income (non-GAAP) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (non-GAAP),” reports operating income (loss), operating margin, net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share without the impact of asset impairment charges, costs incurred in connection with the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) primarily related to severance and recruitment costs (“CEO succession costs”), gain on the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 (“gain on sale of distribution facility”), income tax expense from the recognition of valuation allowances in fiscal 2026 on deferred tax assets related to our intangible asset reorganization in fiscal 2025 (“intangible asset reorganization”), amortization of intangible assets and non-cash share-based compensation for the periods presented, as applicable. These measures may be considered non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G, Rule 100. The tables reconcile these measures to their corresponding GAAP-based financial measures presented in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). We believe that adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted income and adjusted diluted earnings per share provide useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, in combination with our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of such charges and benefits on applicable income, margin and earnings per share measures. We also believe that these non-GAAP measures reflect the operating performance of our business and facilitate a more direct comparison of our performance to our competitors. The material limitation associated with the use of the non-GAAP financial measures is that the non-GAAP measures do not reflect the full economic impact of our activities. Our adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted income and adjusted diluted earnings per share 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. These non-GAAP financial measures are discussed further and reconciled to their applicable GAAP-based financial measures contained in this MD&A beginning on page 33.

There were no material changes to the key financial measures discussed in our Form 10-K.

Overview

We incorporated as Helen of Troy Corporation in Texas in 1968 and were reorganized as Helen of Troy Limited in Bermuda in 1994. We are a leading global consumer products company offering creative products and solutions for our customers through a diversified portfolio of brands. Our portfolio of brands includes OXO, Hydro Flask, Osprey, Vicks, Braun, Honeywell, PUR, Hot Tools, Drybar, Curlsmith, Revlon and Olive & June, among others. We have built leading market positions through new product innovation, product quality and competitive pricing. As of May 31, 2026, we operated two reportable segments: Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness.

On April 14, 2026, we completed the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi for a total sales price of $82.0 million, less costs to sell of $3.8 million. Accordingly, we recognized a gain on the sale of $54.9 million within “Selling, general and administrative expense” (“SG&A”) during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, which was recognized by our Beauty & Wellness segment. We used the proceeds from the sale to repay amounts outstanding under our credit facility.

We did not record any asset impairment charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we concluded a goodwill impairment triggering event had occurred due to a sustained decline in our stock price, and performed quantitative impairment testing on our goodwill and certain intangible assets. As a result of such testing, we recorded pre-tax asset impairment charges as follows:


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended May 31, 2025
Home & Outdoor (1)	$	219,095
Beauty & Wellness (2)	195,290
Total	$	414,385

(1)Asset impairment charges recognized for our Home & Outdoor segment included charges for our Hydro Flask and Osprey businesses of $120.8 million and $98.3 million, respectively.

(2)Asset impairment charges recognized for our Beauty & Wellness segment included charges for our Drybar, Curlsmith, Health & Wellness and Revlon businesses of $103.7 million, $36.2 million, $35.8 million and $19.6 million, respectively.

For additional information regarding the testing and analysis performed, see Note 5 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Significant Trends Impacting the Business

Impact of Tariffs

Since 2019, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”) has imposed, and in certain cases subsequently reduced or suspended, additional tariffs on products imported from China and other foreign countries. Additionally, the current United States (“U.S.”) presidential administration has promoted and implemented plans to raise tariffs even further and pursue other trade policies intended to restrict imports. Our purchases of products from unaffiliated manufacturers located in China and other regions exposes us to higher costs of doing business from increases in tariffs.

Under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), the U.S. presidential administration began implementing fentanyl-related IEEPA tariffs (“Fentanyl IEEPA Tariff”) and additional tariffs (“Reciprocal IEEPA Tariff”) during calendar year 2025. As of April 9, 2025, the U.S. had imposed (i) an aggregate additional 145% tariff on imports from China, consisting of a 20% Fentanyl IEEPA Tariff and 125% Reciprocal IEEPA Tariff and (ii) a global 10% Reciprocal IEEPA Tariff on imports from other countries including Mexico, Vietnam and other U.S. trading partners. The Reciprocal IEEPA Tariff on imports from China was subsequently lowered to 10% effective May 12, 2025, resulting in an aggregate additional 30% tariff. On July 31, 2025, the U.S. president signed an executive order imposing new

Table of Contents

IEEPA tariffs on a number of U.S. trading partners which became effective on August 7, 2025, including a 25% Fentanyl IEEPA Tariff on imports from Mexico and a 20% and 19% Reciprocal IEEPA Tariff on imports from Vietnam and Thailand, respectively. Effective November 10, 2025, the 10% Reciprocal IEEPA Tariff on imports from China, which was set to expire, was extended to remain in effect through November 10, 2026, and the Fentanyl IEEPA Tariff was reduced from 20% to 10%, reducing the aggregate additional tariff from 30% to 20%. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed by the U.S. president under IEEPA were unconstitutional, and the U.S. president subsequently imposed a temporary global 10% Section 122 tariff under the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 122 Tariff”) effective February 24, 2026 through July 24, 2026. As a result, the previous aggregate additional tariff on imports from China, Vietnam, Mexico and Thailand of 20%, 20%, 25% and 19%, respectively, were replaced by the 10% Section 122 Tariff. On May 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) found the Section 122 Tariff unlawful; however, the Section 122 Tariff will remain in place through July 24, 2026 for the Company and most importers while the case proceeds through the appeals process. Our imports manufactured in Mexico are not impacted since they qualify for duty-free preference under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Further, we benefit from certain exclusions from tariffs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which were recently extended to November 9, 2026.

On March 4, 2026, the CIT issued an additional ruling that importers that paid tariffs under IEEPA are due refunds and ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to begin the refund process for all importers who were subject to IEEPA duties. During fiscal 2026, we paid IEEPA tariffs totaling $80.5 million. On April 20, 2026, the CBP launched Phase 1 of a process for submitting IEEPA refund claims. We submitted Phase 1 refund claims in May 2026 totaling $6.0 million, a small portion of which were accepted by the CBP prior to May 31, 2026. As of May 31, 2026, we concluded that $1.9 million of tariff refunds were probable of being recovered and recorded a receivable within prepaids and other current assets, along with corresponding reductions to “Cost of goods sold” of $1.8 million and inventory of $0.1 million in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The tariff refunds recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 were all related to our Home & Outdoor segment. Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 2027, in June 2026, we submitted additional Phase 1 refund claims totaling $3.2 million related to our Beauty & Wellness segment. On June 29, 2026, CBP launched Phase 2 of the IEEPA refund claims process, which we are in process of preparing. As of July 1, 2026, we received partial payments totaling $1.6 million for our Phase 1 tariff refunds and an immaterial amount of interest. The Company will continue to monitor regulatory guidance regarding the refund process and will recognize additional recoveries when the right to receipt becomes probable.

In March 2025, the U.S. president also implemented changes under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (“Section 232 Tariffs”) which resulted in additional sectoral tariffs to aluminum and steel of 25%. On June 4, 2025, the Section 232 Tariffs related to aluminum and steel were increased to 50%, and effective August 1, 2025, expanded to include copper products and components. Section 232 Tariffs were previously imposed based solely on a metal content-based calculation. Effective April 6, 2026, Section 232 Tariffs were expanded to apply to the entire customs value of covered products with tiered rates based on metal content and origin. Currently, our products are not subject to the Section 232 Tariffs on copper products and components. Our products are currently subject to (i) a Section 232 Tariff on aluminum and steel products of 25%, which primarily impacts certain products within our Home and Wellness businesses and/or (ii) the Section 122 Tariff while it remains in place through July 24, 2026 and/or (iii) tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 301 Tariffs”). The U.S. presidential administration is considering additional Section 301 Tariffs as a remedy for unfair trade practices; however, no new Section 301 Tariffs have been published since the review process is ongoing.

U.S. tariff policies continue to evolve, as well as the corresponding impacts on global trade policies. As a result, our risks and mitigation plans, as further described below, will also continue to evolve as further developments arise. Any further alteration of trade agreements and terms between China, Vietnam,

Table of Contents

Mexico and the U.S., including limiting trade with China, Vietnam and Mexico, imposing additional tariffs on imports from China, Vietnam or Mexico and potentially imposing other restrictions on imports from China, Vietnam or Mexico, to the U.S., may result in further or higher tariffs or retaliatory trade measures by China, Vietnam or Mexico, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We are continuing to assess our incremental tariff cost exposure in light of continuing changes to global tariff policies and the full extent of our potential mitigation plans, as well as the associated timing to implement such plans and realize the anticipated benefits. To mitigate our risk of ongoing exposure to tariffs, we have initiated significant efforts to diversify our production outside of China into regions where we expect tariffs or overall costs to be lower and to source the same product in more than one region, to the extent it is possible and not cost-prohibitive. In addition to the uncertainty from evolving global tariff policies, we expect unfavorable cascading impacts on inflation, consumer confidence, employment and overall macroeconomic conditions, all of which may adversely impact our sales, results of operations and cash flows.

During fiscal 2026 and the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the impact of the tariffs adversely impacted our cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 included $12.2 million of additional pre-tax tariff costs, net of the refunds recognized described above, compared to a de minimis impact in the prior year period when tariffs were first introduced and had not cycled through our cost of goods sold. While we successfully implemented strategic price increases during fiscal 2026 to help mitigate the impact of tariffs, we believe the benefit to net sales revenue is entirely offset by reduced unit sales volumes due to consumer price elasticity. Our net sales revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was negatively impacted by a combination of factors including the pause or cancellation of direct import orders from China by certain of our key retailers in response to increased tariff rates, a slowdown in retailer orders following pull forward activity in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 due to tariff uncertainty and lower consumer confidence and demand. In addition, net sales revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was negatively impacted by evolving dynamics in the China market, including a shift toward localized fulfillment models and heightened competition from domestic sellers benefiting from government subsidies. In addition to the uncertainty from evolving global tariff policies, we experienced and expect continued unfavorable cascading impacts on inflation, consumer confidence, employment and overall macroeconomic conditions, all of which may continue to adversely impact our sales, results of operations and cash flows.

Impact of Macroeconomic Trends

The Federal Open Market Committee lowered the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points and 25 basis points during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2026, respectively, resulting in lower average interest rates incurred during the first three months of fiscal 2027 compared to the same period last year. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, $425 million and $325 million of the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement (as defined below), respectively, was hedged with interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate we pay. The weighted average interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement inclusive of the impact of our interest rate swaps as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026 were 5.6% and 5.7%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings hedged with interest rate swaps was 3.3% as of both May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026. As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, the Term SOFR interest rates (as defined in the Credit Agreement) were 3.6% and 3.7%, respectively. While the actual timing and extent of additional future changes in interest rates remains unknown, lower average interest rates would reduce interest expense on our outstanding variable rate debt not subject to the interest rate swaps. The financial markets, the global economy and global supply chain may also be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflicts or other geopolitical events, as well as recent U.S. tariff policies, that are continuing to evolve and the corresponding impacts on global trade. Most recently, the outcome of the ongoing Israel-United States and Iran conflict is highly unpredictable and could lead to significant market and other disruptions,

Table of Contents

including significant volatility in the commodity prices and supply of energy resources and supply chain interruptions. High inflation has also negatively impacted consumer disposable income, credit availability and spending, among others, which have adversely impacted our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations during fiscal 2026 and the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and may continue to have an adverse impact during the remainder of fiscal 2027. Evolving global tariff policies, military conflicts or geopolitical events (such as the Israel-United States and Iran conflict) could adversely impact inflation and interest rates which could further negatively impact consumer disposable income, credit availability and spending. See further discussion below under “Consumer Spending and Changes in Shopping Preferences.” We expect continued uncertainty in our business and the global economy due to pressure from inflation, tariffs, consumer confidence and the Israel-United States and Iran conflict, any of which may adversely impact our results.

Consumer Spending and Changes in Shopping Preferences

Our business depends upon discretionary consumer demand for most of our products and primarily operates within mature and highly developed consumer markets. The principal driver of our operating performance is the strength of the U.S. retail economy. Approximately 72% and 69% of our consolidated net sales revenue was from U.S. shipments during the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Among other things, high levels of inflation, interest rates, military conflicts or other geopolitical events, and tariffs may negatively impact consumer disposable income, credit availability and spending. Consumer purchases of discretionary items, including some of the products that we offer, generally decline during recessionary periods or periods of economic uncertainty, when disposable income is reduced or when there is a reduction in consumer confidence. Dynamic changes in consumer spending and shopping patterns are also having an impact on retailer inventory levels. Our ability to sell to retailers is predicated on their ability to sell to the end consumer. During fiscal 2026 and the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we experienced continued competition within our Beauty & Wellness segment and in the insulated beverageware category. In addition, during fiscal 2026, we experienced lower replenishment orders in line with softer consumer demand and discretionary spending and continued competition, which adversely impacted our sales, results of operations and cash flows. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, this trend continued in our Beauty business. If orders from our retail customers continue to be adversely impacted, our sales, results of operations and cash flows may continue to be adversely impacted. We expect continued uncertainty in our business and the global economy due to inflation, evolving global tariff policies, continued competition and changes in consumer spending patterns. Accordingly, our liquidity and financial results could be impacted in ways that we are not able to predict today.

Our concentration of sales reflects the continued evolution of consumer shopping preferences. Our net sales to pure-play online retailers and retail customers fulfilling end-consumer online orders, as well as our own online sales directly to consumers (collectively “online channel net sales”) comprised approximately 28% of our total consolidated net sales revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2026, and grew approximately 29% compared to the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended May 31, 2025, our online channel net sales comprised approximately 23% of our total consolidated net sales revenue, and declined approximately 18% compared to the same period in the prior year.

EPA Compliance Costs

During fiscal 2022 and 2023, we were in discussions with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“the EPA”) regarding the compliance of packaging and labeling claims on certain of our products in the air and water filtration and humidification categories within the Beauty & Wellness segment that are sold in the U.S. The EPA did not raise any product quality, safety or performance issues. As a result of these packaging and labeling compliance discussions, we completed the repackaging and relabeling of impacted products during fiscal 2023. We continue to have ongoing settlement discussions with the EPA related to this matter. As of February 28, 2026, we accrued an estimated liability of $4.4 million, which

Table of Contents

represents our best estimate of probable settlement costs related to this matter. See Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Talcum Powder Litigation Related to the Fiscal 2022 Personal Care Divestiture

In fiscal 2022, we completed the sale of our North America personal care business to HRB Brands LLC (“HRB Brands”). After the sale, we were named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits related to the use of personal care products containing talcum powder, primarily Brut deodorant and Ammens powder sold by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Idelle Labs, Ltd. We tendered indemnification of these cases to HRB Brands, which assumed control of the defense of the claims. After many years, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, HRB Brands asserted that it was contesting the indemnification of these cases and tendered the indemnification back to us. Consequently, in order to protect the Company and its rights and defenses, we began to defend these cases. The Company maintains its position that HRB Brands is obligated to defend and indemnify the Company against these claims and plans to vigorously contest HRB Brands’ position. With respect to the talcum powder cases, we believe we have substantial defenses to the claims. The ultimate outcome of enforcing our indemnification claims against HRB Brands and the litigation relating to the talcum cases is inherently uncertain, and we cannot predict its resolution. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we paid approximately $1.0 million in settlements of these cases and accrued an additional $1.3 million for potential settlements and legal fees. As of May 31, 2026, we had an estimated liability of approximately $1.8 million. We cannot estimate the amount or range of amounts by which the liability may exceed the accrual established because of (i) the inherent difficulty in projecting the number of claims that have not yet been asserted or the time period in which future claims may be asserted, (ii) the complaints nearly always assert claims against multiple defendants where the damages alleged are typically not attributed to individual defendants so that a defendant’s share of liability may turn on the law of joint and several liability, which can vary by state, and (iii) the many factors, developments and inherent uncertainties involved with litigation that could affect the Company’s estimate of the liability. For additional information, see Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Securities Class Action Lawsuit

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Due to the nature of our operations, we have exposure to the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates from transactions that are denominated in a currency other than our functional currency (the U.S. Dollar). Such transactions include sales and operating expenses. The most significant currencies affecting our operating results are the Euro, British Pound and Canadian Dollar.

For the three months ended May 31, 2026, changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable year-over-year impact on consolidated U.S. Dollar reported net sales revenue of approximately $2.9 million, or 0.8%, compared to an unfavorable year-over-year impact of $1.0 million, or 0.2%, for the same period last year.

Variability of the Cough/Cold/Flu Season

Sales in several of our Beauty & Wellness categories are highly correlated to the severity of winter weather and cough/cold/flu incidence. In the U.S., the cough/cold/flu season historically runs from November through March, with peak activity normally in January to March. The 2025-2026 and 2024-2025 cough/cold/flu seasons were below historical averages seen prior to the impact of COVID-19.

Consolidated Net Sales Revenue

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Consolidated net sales revenue increased $30.5 million, or 8.2%, to $402.1 million, compared to $371.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by:

•an increase in Home & Outdoor due to strong international demand for packs, new product launches and the favorable comparative impact of retailer pull-forward activity in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 in response to tariff uncertainty; and

•an increase in Beauty & Wellness driven by sales of nail care, fans and thermometers, which was partially offset by a decline in hair appliances and prestige hair care products.

Consolidated net sales revenue was favorably impacted by net foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $2.9 million, or 0.8%.

Segment Net Sales Revenue

Home & Outdoor

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Net sales revenue increased $16.9 million, or 9.5%, to $194.9 million, compared to $178.0 million. The increase was primarily driven by:

•the favorable comparative impact of lower first quarter fiscal 2026 sales due to retailer pull-forward activity in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 in response to tariff uncertainty and potential supply disruption;

•strong international demand for technical, lifestyle and travel packs;

•incremental sales from new product launches; and

•higher sales from expanded distribution in the home and insulated beverageware categories.

These factors were partially offset by lower international sales in the home and insulated beverageware categories.

Table of Contents

Segment net sales revenue was favorably impacted by net foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $1.3 million, or 0.7%.

Beauty & Wellness

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Net sales revenue increased $13.5 million, or 7.0%, to $207.2 million, compared to $193.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by:

•an increase in nail care due to new and expanded distribution;

•an increase in fan and thermometer sales benefitting from the favorable comparative impact of tariff related cancellations of direct import orders and disruption in the China thermometry market during the same period last year; and

•an increase in Wellness driven by incremental sales from new product launches.

These factors were partially offset by a decline in Beauty hair appliances and prestige hair care products primarily due to softer consumer demand, continued competition and reduced replenishment orders from retail customers.

Segment net sales revenue was favorably impacted by net foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $1.6 million, or 0.8%.

Consolidated Gross Profit Margin

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Consolidated gross profit margin decreased 1.1 percentage points to 46.0%, compared to 47.1%. The decrease in consolidated gross profit margin was primarily due to the net unfavorable impact of tariffs, a less favorable inventory obsolescence impact year-over-year, and an unfavorable customer mix within Home & Outdoor.

Consolidated SG&A

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Consolidated SG&A ratio decreased 14.1 percentage points to 31.0%, compared to 45.1%. The decrease in the consolidated SG&A ratio was primarily due to:

•a gain on the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi of $54.9 million;

•the favorable comparative impact of CEO succession costs of $3.5 million recognized in the prior year period;

•lower outbound freight costs;

•a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense; and

•the impact of favorable operating leverage due to the increase in net sales.

These factors were partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation expense.

Asset Impairment Charges

We did not record any asset impairment charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded asset impairment charges of $414.4 million ($436.2 million after tax) to reduce our goodwill by $317.0 million and our other intangible assets by $97.4 million. For additional information regarding the testing and analysis performed, see Note 5 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Operating Income (Loss)

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Consolidated operating income was $60.3 million, or 15.0% of net sales revenue, compared to consolidated operating loss of $407.0 million, or (109.5)% of net sales revenue. Operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 included $414.4 million of pre-tax asset impairment charges. The remaining 13.0 percentage point increase in consolidated operating margin was primarily due to:

•a gain on the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi of $54.9 million;

•the favorable comparative impact of CEO succession costs of $3.5 million recognized in the prior year period;

•reduced outbound freight costs; and

•the impact of favorable operating leverage due to the increase in net sales.

These factors were partially offset by:

•the net unfavorable impact of tariffs;

•an increase in share-based compensation expense;

•a less favorable inventory obsolescence impact year-over-year; and

•unfavorable customer mix within Home & Outdoor.

Table of Contents

Consolidated adjusted operating income was $16.1 million for both the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and 2026, representing 4.0% and 4.3% of net sales revenue, respectively.

Home & Outdoor

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Operating income was $8.2 million, or 4.2% of segment net sales revenue, compared to operating loss of $213.8 million, or (120.1)% of segment net sales revenue. Operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 included $219.1 million of pre-tax asset impairment charges. The remaining 1.2 percentage point increase in segment operating margin was primarily due to:

•the favorable comparative impact of CEO succession costs of $1.7 million recognized in the prior year period;

•reduced outbound freight costs; and

•the impact of favorable operating leverage due to the increase in net sales.

These factors were partially offset by:

•the net unfavorable impact of tariffs;

•an increase in share-based compensation expense; and

•unfavorable customer mix.

Adjusted operating income increased 39.2% to $12.3 million, or 6.3% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $8.9 million, or 5.0% of segment net sales revenue.

Beauty & Wellness

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Operating income was $52.2 million, or 25.2% of segment net sales revenue, compared to operating loss of $193.2 million, or (99.8)% of segment net sales revenue. Operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 included $195.3 million of pre-tax asset impairment charges. The remaining 24.2 percentage point increase in segment operating margin was primarily due to:

•a gain on the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi of $54.9 million;

•the favorable comparative impact of CEO succession costs of $1.7 million recognized in the prior year period;

•reduced outbound freight costs; and

•the impact of favorable operating leverage due to the increase in net sales.

These factors were partially offset by:

•the net unfavorable impact of tariffs;

•an increase in share-based compensation expense; and

•a less favorable inventory obsolescence impact year-over-year.

Adjusted operating income decreased 48.2% to $3.8 million, or 1.8% of segment net sales revenue, compared to $7.3 million, or 3.7% of segment net sales revenue.

Interest Expense

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Interest expense was $12.2 million, compared to $13.8 million. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average borrowings outstanding, partially offset by a higher average effective interest rate inclusive of the impact of our interest rate swaps compared to the same period last year.

Table of Contents

Income Tax Expense

The comparison of our effective tax rate between periods is often impacted by the geographic mix of earnings among our various tax jurisdictions. Due to our organization in Bermuda and the ownership structure of our foreign subsidiaries, many of which are not owned directly or indirectly by a U.S. parent company, an immaterial amount of our foreign income is subject to U.S. taxation on a permanent basis under current law. Additionally, our intangible assets are primarily owned by foreign affiliates, resulting in proportionally higher earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates lower than that of the U.S.

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 2027 to First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Net income was $35.8 million, compared to net loss of $450.7 million. Diluted earnings per share was $1.51, compared to diluted loss per share of $19.65. The increase is primarily due to the comparative impact of after-tax asset impairment charges of $436.2 million and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets related to our intangible asset reorganization both recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the recognition of an after-tax gain on the sale of our distribution facility of $41.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, and a decrease in interest expense.

Table of Contents

Adjusted income decreased $5.5 million, or 58.3%, to $4.0 million, compared to $9.5 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 58.5% to $0.17, compared to $0.41.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We principally rely on our cash flow from operations and borrowings under our Credit Agreement (as defined below) to finance our operations, capital and intangible asset expenditures, acquisitions and share repurchases. Historically, our principal uses of cash to fund our operations have included operating expenses, primarily SG&A, and working capital, predominantly for inventory purchases and the extension of credit to our retail customers. We have typically been able to generate positive cash flow from operations sufficient to fund our operating activities. In the past, we have utilized a combination of available cash and existing, or additional, sources of financing to fund strategic acquisitions, share repurchases and capital investments. We had $21.7 million in cash and cash equivalents at May 31, 2026. As of May 31, 2026, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries was $16.4 million. We have no existing activities involving special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing.

We believe our short-term liquidity requirements will primarily consist of operating and working capital requirements, capital expenditures and interest payments on our debt. Based on our current financial condition and current operations, we believe that cash flows from operations and available financing sources will continue to provide sufficient capital resources to fund our foreseeable short- and long-term liquidity requirements. In the short-term we plan to prioritize repaying our debt outstanding.

Operating Activities

Operating activities used net cash of $0.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to net cash provided of $58.3 million for the same period last year. The change in cash used by operating activities was primarily driven by increases in cash used primarily for accounts receivable, annual incentive compensation and income taxes, partially offset by an increase in cash earnings and decreases in payments for inventory, inclusive of tariffs, restructuring activities and interest.

Investing Activities

Investing activities provided net cash of $72.5 million during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to net cash used of $9.5 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi and a decrease in capital and intangible asset expenditures.

Financing Activities

Financing activities used net cash of $69.1 million during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to net cash used of $45.1 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash used by financing activities is primarily due to net repayments of our long-term debt of $65.1 million and a $4.1 million contingent consideration payment related to the Olive & June acquisition during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, in comparison to net repayments of long-term debt of $45.0 million during the same period last year.

Credit Agreement

Table of Contents

issuance of letters of credit, (ii) a $250 million term loan facility, and (iii) a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility. Proceeds can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including funding permitted acquisitions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we borrowed $250.0 million under the delayed draw term loan facility and utilized the proceeds to repay debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we capitalized $0.4 million of lender fees and a de minimis amount of third-party fees incurred in connection with the delayed draw term loan facility borrowing, which were recorded as prepaid financing fees in long-term debt. The Credit Agreement matures on February 15, 2029. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature, which permits the Company to request to increase its borrowing capacity by an additional $300 million plus an unlimited amount when the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), on a pro-forma basis, is less than 3.25 to 1.00. The term loans and delayed draw term loans are currently payable at the end of each fiscal quarter in equal installments of 1.25% of the original principal balance, with the remaining balance due at the maturity date. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear floating interest at either the Base Rate or Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin based on the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 0% to 1.375% and 1.0% to 2.375% for Base Rate and Term SOFR borrowings, respectively. We also incur loan commitment and letter of credit fees under the Credit Agreement ranging from 0.1% to 0.45% per annum and 1.0% to 2.375% per annum, respectively, based on our Net Leverage Ratio.

The floating interest rates on our borrowings under the Credit Agreement are hedged with interest rate swaps to effectively fix interest rates on $425 million and $325 million of the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. For additional information regarding our interest rate swaps, see Notes 10, 11, and 12 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of May 31, 2026, the outstanding Credit Agreement principal balance was $720.5 million (excluding prepaid financing fees) and the balance of outstanding letters of credit was $9.5 million. As of May 31, 2026, the amount available for revolving loans under the Credit Agreement was $491.2 million, and the amount available per the maximum Leverage Ratio was $168.5 million. Covenants in the Credit Agreement limit the amount of total indebtedness we can incur. As of May 31, 2026, these covenants effectively limited our ability to incur more than $168.5 million of additional debt from all sources, including the Credit Agreement.

Debt Covenants

As of May 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants as defined under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The SEC defines critical accounting estimates as those made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on a company’s financial condition or results of operations. For a discussion of the estimates that we consider to meet this definition and represent our more critical estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, see the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Form 10-K. Since the filing of our Form 10-K, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed therein.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of our outstanding common stock. The authorization became effective August 20, 2024, for a period of three years, and replaced our former repurchase authorization. These repurchases may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or any combination of such methods. The number of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, trading volume and general market conditions, working capital requirements, general business conditions, financial conditions, any applicable contractual limitations, and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. See Note 7 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The following table summarizes our share repurchase activity for the periods shown:


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (1)	Maximum Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (in thousands) (2)
