Revenue growth returns
Helen of Troy's fiscal 2027 first-quarter revenue reached USD 402.1 million, compared with USD 371.7 million in fiscal 2026, according to Business Wire. The 8.2 percent increase is the clearest operating improvement in the latest reported period.
Gross margin was 46.0 percent in Q1/2027, compared with 47.1 percent in Q1/2026, leaving a 1.1 percentage point decline despite higher sales. Operating margin reached 15.0 percent, with the reported result benefiting from a gain related to the sale of a distribution facility, according to Business Wire.
Profit quality remains important
Adjusted diluted EPS was USD 0.17 in Q1/2027, down from USD 0.41 in the prior-year quarter, according to Stock Titan. The result nevertheless exceeded the USD 0.02 consensus estimate by USD 0.15, while revenue exceeded the USD 374.55 million estimate, according to MarketBeat.
That combination matters because sales growth has not yet translated into higher adjusted earnings. The gap between USD 0.17 and USD 0.41 keeps margins, taxes and one-time items central to the next earnings assessment.
Next results set for October 8
Helen of Troy plans to release its fiscal 2027 second-quarter results before the market opens on October 8, 2026, according to Business Wire. That release will show whether the 8.2 percent sales increase is extending into the company's second quarter.
