NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
August 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 August 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 August 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 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 six months 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 and second quarters 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 these conclusions 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 and second quarters 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
8
Table of Contents
licenses, trade names and certain other intangible assets. Thus, we performed quantitative impairment testing on our goodwill and intangible assets described above during the first and second quarters 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:

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. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, management further 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 second quarter of fiscal 2026, including the impact on consumer spending, retailer orders and China cross border ecommerce due to a shift to localized distribution, 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.

Share-based compensation expense during the six months ended August 31, 2025 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 August 31, 2026, our total unrecognized share-based compensation for all awards was $
21.2
million, which will be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of
2.2
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
80
% 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 August 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.

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
We are involved in various legal claims and proceedings in the normal course of operations. We believe the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, except as described below.
On June 7, 2021, 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 previously 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 three and six months ended August 31, 2026, we accrued $
4.0
million and $
5.3
million, respectively, for potential settlements and legal fees and paid approximately $
1.4
million during fiscal 2027 related to these cases. As of August 31, 2026, we had an estimated liability of approximately $
5.4
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 and 2027, we paid IEEPA tariffs totaling $
80.5
million. On April 20, 2026, CBP launched Phase 1 of a process for submitting IEEPA refund claims, and on June 29, 2026, CBP launched Phase 2 of the IEEPA refund claims process. CBP has established the framework for Phase 3 of the IEEPA refund claims process, and the Company was notified in August 2026 of its eligibility to participate. The Company plans to start filing Phase 3 refund claims after CBP begins accepting submissions. As of August 31, 2026, we collected all our Phase 1 tariff refunds and concluded that our submitted Phase 2 tariff refund claims were probable of being recovered, substantially all of which were approved by CBP prior to August 31, 2026. As a result, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, we recognized reductions to “Cost of goods sold” of $
26.9
million and $
28.7
million, respectively. As of August 31, 2026, our receivable for tariff refunds included within prepaids and other current assets totaled $
4.3
million and our reduction to inventory for tariff refunds totaled $
0.8
million. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we collected $
25.3
million in tariff refunds. The Company will continue to monitor regulatory guidance regarding the refund process, file additional Phase 2 and Phase 3 claims and 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. On August 25, 2026, we entered into a final administrative settlement with the EPA related to this matter for $
4.4
million, which will be paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2027. As a result, the estimated liability we recognized during fiscal 2026 of $
4.4
million remained outstanding as of August 31, 2026. 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.”

Credit Agreement
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. T
he 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 $
300
million and $
325
million of the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement as of August 31, 2026 an
d February 28, 2026, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings hedged with interest rate swaps was
3.3
% as of both
August 31, 2026
and February 28, 2026. The comparable Term SOFR interest rate as of both
August 31, 2026
and February 28, 2026 was
3.7
%. See Notes 10, 11, and 12 for additional information regarding our interest rate swaps.
As of August 31, 2026, the balance of outstanding letters of credit was $
9.5
million, the amount available for revolving loans under the Credit Agreement was $
528.8
million, and the amount available per the maximum Leverage Ratio was $
277.3
million. Covenants in the Credit Agreement limit the amount of total indebtedness we can incur. As of August 31, 2026, these covenants effectively limited our ability to incur more than $
277.3
million of additional debt from all sources, including the Credit Agreement.
Debt Covenants
As of August 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.
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:

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 August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, the current carrying amounts of our U.S. Treasury Bills were $
2.4
million and $
2.6
million, respectively, and were included within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, the non-current carrying amounts of our U.S. Treasury Bills were $
8.9
million and
14
Table of Contents
$
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 August 31, 2026, gross unrealized
gains
were
immaterial
and gross unrealized
losses
were $
0.1
million. As of February 28, 2026, gross unrealized gains were $
0.1
million and gross unrealized losses were
immaterial
. During the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, we recognized interest income on these investments of $
0.1
million and $
0.2
million, respectively, which is included in “Non-operating income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). During the three and six months ended August 31, 2025, we recognized interest income on these investments of $
0.1
million and
$
0.2
million, respectively
.
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.
The purchase consideration for the acquisition of Olive & June in December 2024 included 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 August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA volatility was calculated based upon peer companies, and the third quartile of
37
% and
41
% was selected as a key input into the Monte Carlo simulation model as of August 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
6.8
% and
6.6
%, as of August 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.

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
15
% of our net sales revenue was denominated in foreign currencies during both the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, compared to
14
% and
15
% for the same periods last year, 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 (benefit), and all other foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses are recognized in SG&A. We recorded
immaterial
foreign currency exchange rate net gains, during both the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, in income tax expense (benefit), compared to net gains of $
2.9
million and $
9.5
million for the same periods last year, respectively. During the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, we recorded foreign currency exchange rate net losses of $
0.1
million and $
0.6
million,
respectively,
in SG&A, compared to net gains of $
0.4
million and $
2.1
million for the same periods last year, respectively. 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
16
Table of Contents
(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 August 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 $
676.5
million and $
785.5
million as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. As of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, $
300
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 $
1.9
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.

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.
The following tables summarize reportable segment information with a reconciliation to our condensed consolidated results for the periods presented:

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, generally 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. Jurisdictions with year-to-date or forecasted losses for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation, which may increase the effective tax rate in interim periods.
Discrete items are recognized in the period in which they occur and 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 cannot be reasonably estimated as part of the annual effective tax rate, and other infrequent or non-recurring items. Discrete items do not include the asset impairment charges described below and in Note 5.
During the three and six months ended August 31, 2025, we recognized goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $
326.4
million and $
740.8
million, respectively, which included $
246.0
million and $
511.0
million, respectively,
of non-deductible goodwill that did not result in a tax benefit. The tax benefit on the impairment charge
was recognized over the course of fiscal 2026 in relation to pre-tax book income, rather than as a discrete item in the periods in which the charges were incurred.
The downward revisions to our internal forecasts utilized in our impairment testing during the first half of fiscal 2026 impacted our assessment of the future realizability of a related deferred tax asset, which led to the recording of discrete valuation allowances of $
13.5
million and $
30.0
million during the three and six months ended August 31, 2025, respectively.
For the three months ended August 31, 2026, income tax expense was $
9.2
million on pre-tax income of $
13.8
million, compared to an income tax benefit of $
21.0
million on a pre-tax loss of $
329.7
million for the same period last year. The increase in income tax expense and effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in jurisdictions with losses excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation in fiscal 2027, and was also affected by impairment charges and the timing of related tax effects and deferred tax asset valuation allowances recognized in the same period last year.

Table of Contents
For the six months ended August 31, 2026, income tax expense was $
21.7
million on pre-tax income of $
62.1
million, compared to income tax expense of $
9.1
million on a pre-tax loss of $
750.2
million for the same period last year. The increase in income tax expense and effective tax rate was primarily due to income tax expense recognized on the gain from the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi and an increase in jurisdictions with losses excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation in fiscal 2027, and was also affected by impairment charges and the timing of related tax effects and deferred tax asset valuation allowances recognized in the same period last year.
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 method. See Note 6 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding stock-based awards.

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”), settlement costs and legal fees related to lawsuits involving products sold by the North America personal care business divested on June 7, 2021, for which we tendered indemnification and are discussed further below (referred to as “divestiture litigation 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”), restructuring charges, 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 38.
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 August 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 six months of fiscal 2027. During the first and second quarters 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:

Asset impairment charges recognized for our Beauty & Wellness segment included charges for our Health & Wellness, Drybar, Curlsmith and Revlon businesses of $160.9 million, $47.8 million, $28.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and $196.6 million, $151.4 million, $64.6 million and $23.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended
August 31, 2025.
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
25
Table of Contents
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 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. In May 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) found the Section 122 Tariff unlawful in certain cases; however, the Section 122 Tariff remained in place through its expiration on July 24, 2026 for the Company and most importers while the cases proceeded through the appeals process. Our imports manufactured in Mexico were not impacted by the IEEPA tariffs or Section 122 Tariff since they qualified for duty-free preference under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (the “USMCA”).
Following the expiration of the Section 122 Tariff discussed above, effective July 24, 2026, the U.S. presidential administration imposed tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 301 Tariff”) on 60 countries, including 10% for Mexico and 12.5% for China, Vietnam and Thailand, for failure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor. The Section 301 Tariff for Mexico is unchanged from the prior Section 122 Tariff and represents an increase of 2.5% on imports from China, Vietnam and Thailand. As a result, our products imported from China, Vietnam, Thailand and other countries are currently subject to the Section 301 Tariff. Our imports manufactured in Mexico are not impacted by the Section 301 Tariff since they qualify for duty-free preference under the USMCA. Further, we benefit from certain exclusions from tariffs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which were extended to November 9, 2026. The U.S. presidential administration is considering additional Section 301 Tariffs as a remedy for unfair trade practices; however, the review process is ongoing.
In response to recent tariffs imposed by the U.S. on certain Canadian goods under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs ranging from 15% to 50% on similar American goods effective September 8, 2026. Currently, our liquid hair styling products, treatments and conditioners within our Beauty & Wellness business are subject to this 50% tariff upon importation to Canada and do not qualify for duty-free preference under the USMCA.
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 the Section 232 Tariffs on aluminum and steel products of 25%, which primarily impacts certain products within our Home and Wellness businesses.
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
26
Table of Contents
importers who were subject to IEEPA duties. During fiscal 2026 and 2027, we paid IEEPA tariffs totaling $80.5 million. On April 20, 2026, CBP launched Phase 1 of a process for submitting IEEPA refund claims, and on June 29, 2026, CBP launched Phase 2 of the IEEPA refund claims process. CBP has established the framework for Phase 3 of the IEEPA refund claims process, and the Company was notified in August 2026 of its eligibility to participate. The Company plans to start filing Phase 3 refund claims after CBP begins accepting submissions. As of August 31, 2026, we collected all our Phase 1 tariff refunds and concluded that our submitted Phase 2 tariff refund claims were probable of being recovered, substantially all of which were approved by CBP prior to August 31, 2026. As a result, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, we recognized reductions to “Cost of goods sold” of $26.9 million and $28.7 million, respectively. As of August 31, 2026, our receivable for tariff refunds included within prepaids and other current assets totaled $4.3 million and our reduction to inventory for tariff refunds totaled $0.8 million. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, we collected $25.3 million in tariff refunds. The Company will continue to monitor regulatory guidance regarding the refund process, file additional Phase 2 and 3 claims and recognize additional recoveries when the right to receipt becomes probable.
During fiscal 2026 and the first quarter of fiscal 2027, tariffs had a net adverse impact on our cost of goods sold. During the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, tariffs had a net favorable impact on our cost of goods sold as a result of recognizing tariff refunds of $26.9 million and $28.7 million, respectively, as discussed above. Our cost of goods sold included additional pre-tax tariff costs related to the changes in tariffs described above of $12.6 million and $27.3 million, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, respectively, compared to $10.0 million and $12.5 million in the same periods last year, respectively. 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 in fiscal 2027 is entirely offset by reduced unit sales volumes due to consumer price elasticity. Our net sales revenue during the first six months 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 six months 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.
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, 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 continue 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 continue to pursue opportunities to diversify our production capabilities 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.

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 six months of fiscal 2027 compared to the same period last year. The Federal Open Market Committee raised the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2027. As of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, $300 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 August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026 were 5.5% and 5.7%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings hedged with interest rate swaps was 3.3% as of both August 31, 2026 and
February 28, 2026
. The comparable Term SOFR
interest rate
(as defined in the Credit Agreement)
was 3.7% as of both August 31, 2026 and
February 28, 2026
.
While the actual timing and extent of additional future changes in interest rates remains unknown, higher average interest rates would increase 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, 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 six months 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 Preference
s
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% of our consolidated net sales revenue was from U.S. shipments during both the three months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. For the six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025, U.S. shipments were approximately 72% and 71% of our consolidated net sales revenue, 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 half 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 half of fiscal 2027, this trend continued in our Beauty business. If orders from our retail customers continue to be adversely

Table of Contents
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 25% and 26% of our total consolidated net sales revenue for the three and six months ended August 31, 2026, respectively, and grew approximately 4% and 16% compared to the same periods last year, respectively. For both the three and six months ended August 31, 2025, our online channel net sales comprised approximately 24% of our total consolidated net sales revenue and declined approximately 22% and 20% compared to the same periods last year, respectively.
Packaging Disposal Costs
An emerging trend with governmental and non-governmental organizations, consumers, shareholders, retail customers, communities, and other stakeholders is increased focus and expectations on sustainability matters. These trends have led to, among other things, increased public and private social accountability reporting requirements relating to labor practices, climate change, human trafficking and other sustainability matters and greater demands on our packaging and products. Several U.S. states, Canada, the European Union (“EU”) and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) have enacted legislation to reduce single use plastics and establish regulatory requirements including extended producer responsibility (“EPR”) programs, which are designed to transfer the cost of packaging disposal from municipalities to producers of consumer-packaged goods. EPR programs typically include reporting requirements for, among other things, post-consumer recycling usage, compostable packaging, material reduction including plastic component data and refill strategies. We are currently subject to EPR programs enacted in the U.S., Canada, EU and EMEA, which require us to partially fund the disposal of our products’ packaging (“packaging disposal costs”). As a result of these EPR programs as well as other regulatory packaging requirements, we are beginning to incur higher packaging related costs. Several states in the U.S. have proposed EPR legislation and jurisdictions such as the EU and Canada are expanding existing program requirements which will increase our operating costs and could adversely impact our business, cash flows and results of operations. In addition, we also intend to invest in the recyclability of our products’ packaging and reduce packaging waste which may further increase our costs initially and could require capital investments. As regulatory requirements continue to evolve, compliance could increase our operating costs, limit material availability, reduce consumer demand for our products in the future, or adversely impact our business, cash flows and results of operations.
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. On August 25, 2026, we entered into a final administrative settlement with the EPA related to this matter for $4.4 million, which will be paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2027. As a result, the estimated liability we recognized during fiscal 2026 of $4.4 million remained outstanding as of August 31, 2026. See Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Talcum Powder Litigation Related to the Fiscal 2022 Personal Care Divestiture
On June 7, 2021, 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 previously 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 three and six months ended August 31, 2026, we accrued $4.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for potential settlements and legal fees and paid approximately $1.4 million during fiscal 2027 related to these cases. As of August 31, 2026, we had an estimated liability of approximately $5.4 million.
Due to HRB Brands’ failure to continue to indemnify these claims, the resulting incurrence of litigation costs related to a divestiture that occurred over five years ago, and the uncertainty of the timing in enforcing our indemnification claims against HRB Brands, management does not believe such costs are normal operating expenses related to the Company’s ongoing operations, revenue generating activities or business strategy. As a result, beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2027, management determined that costs related to this matter will be adjusted in our non-GAAP financial measures going forward. Accordingly, our adjusted operating income and adjusted income results that follow exclude $4.0 million of divestiture litigation costs for the three and six months ended August 31, 2026 and are reconciled to their applicable GAAP-based financial measure below. For additional information regarding management’s decision to present non-GAAP financial information, see the introduction to this Item 2., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
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
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.

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 August 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 $0.1 million, or less than 0.1%, compared to a favorable year-over-year impact of
$0.2 million
, or less than 0.1%, for the same period last year. For the six months ended August 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 $3.0 million, or 0.4%, compar
ed to an
unfavorable year-over-year impact of
$0.8 million, or
0.1%,
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 Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 to Second Quarter Fiscal 2026
Consolidated net sales revenue increased $9.1 million, or 2.1%, to $440.9 million, compared to $431.8 million. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in Home & Outdoor reflecting growth across all brands due to strong demand for packs, higher international sales, assortment and distribution gains, higher closeout channel sales, and new product launches. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in Beauty & Wellness driven by declines in hair appliances, prestige hair care and water filtration, which was partially offset by growth in heaters, thermometers and nail care.
Consolidated net sales revenue was favorably impacted by net foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $0.1 million, or less than 0.1%.

Table of Contents
Comparison of First Six Months of Fiscal 2027 to First Six Months of Fiscal 2026
Consolidated net sales revenue increased $39.6 million, or 4.9%, to $843.0 million, compared to $803.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by:
•
an increase in Home & Outdoor reflecting growth across all brands due to strong demand for packs, new product launches, higher closeout channel sales, 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 due to growth in fans, thermometers, heaters and nail care, 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 $3.0 million, or 0.4%.
Segment Net Sales Revenue
Home & Outdoor
Comparison of Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 to Second Quarter Fiscal 2026
Net sales revenue increased $19.2 million, or 9.2%, to $227.9 million, compared to $208.7 million. The increase reflects growth across all brands and was primarily driven by:
•
strong demand for technical, travel and lifestyle packs;
•
an increase in international sales;
•
assortment and distributions gains;
•
higher closeout channel sales; and
•
incremental sales from new product launches.
Segment net sales revenue was unfavorably impacted by net foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $0.2 million,
or 0.1%.
Comparison of First Six Months of Fiscal 2027 to First Six Months of Fiscal 2026
Net sales revenue increased $36.1 million, or 9.3%, to $422.8 million, compared to $386.7 million. The increase reflects growth across all brands and was primarily driven by:
•
strong demand for technical, lifestyle and travel packs across all channels;
•
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;
•
incremental sales from new product launches;
•
higher closeout channel sales; and

increased sales from new and expanded distribution in the home category.
These factors were partially offset by a decrease in international and club channel sales in the home category.
Segment net sales revenue was favorably
impacted by net foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $1.1 million,
or 0.3%.

Comparison of Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 to Second Quarter Fiscal 2026
Net sales revenue decreased $10.1 million, or 4.5%, to $213.0 million, compared to $223.1 million. The decrease was primarily driven by:
•
a decline in Beauty hair appliances and prestige hair care products primarily due to softer consumer demand, including the impact of consumer price sensitivity, continued competition, reduced replenishment orders from retail customers and lower closeout channel sales; and
•
a decrease in water filtration primarily driven by softer consumer demand and increased competitive marketing activity.
These factors were partially offset by:
•
an increase in heater and thermometer sales benefitting from the favorable comparative impact of tariff related effects of reduced direct import orders and disruption in the China market during the same period last year;
•
growth in nail care due to strong consumer demand, improved replenishment orders and new and expanded distribution; and
•
incremental growth from new product launches.
Segment net sales revenue was favorably impacted by net foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $0.3 million, or 0.1%.
Comparison of First Six Months of Fiscal 2027 to First Six Months of Fiscal 2026
Net sales revenue increased $3.5 million, or 0.8%, to $420.2 million, compared to $416.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by:
•
an increase in fan, thermometer and heater sales benefitting from the favorable comparative impact of tariff related effects of cancelled or reduced direct import orders and disruption in the China market during the same period last year;
•
growth in nail care due to strong consumer demand and new and expanded distribution; and
•
incremental growth 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, including the impact of consumer price sensitivity, continued competition, reduced replenishment orders from retail customers and lower closeout channel sales.
Segment net sales revenue was favorably impacted by net foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $1.9 million, or 0.4%.
Consolidated Gross Profit Margin
Comparison of Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 to Second Quarter Fiscal 2026
Consolidated gross profit margin increased 8.0 percentage points to 52.2%, compared to 44.2%. The increase in consolidated gross profit margin was primarily due to the favorable impact of tariff refunds, net of higher tariff costs, and lower overall retail trade and promotional expense year-over-year.
These factors were partially offset by inflationary product cost pressure due to commodities, fuel prices, freight, foreign currency and supply availability, and a less favorable inventory obsolescence impact year-over-year.

Comparison of First Six Months of Fiscal 2027 to First Six Months of Fiscal 2026
Consolidated gross profit margin increased 3.7 percentage points to 49.2%, compared to 45.5%. The increase in consolidated gross profit margin was primarily due to the favorable impact of tariff refunds, net of higher tariff costs.
These factors were partially offset by a less favorable inventory obsolescence impact year-over-year.
Consolidated SG&A
Comparison of Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 to Second Quarter Fiscal 2026
Consolidated SG&A ratio increased 5.4 percentage points to 46.4%, compared to 41.0%. The increase in the consolidated SG&A ratio was primarily due to:
•
an increase in personnel expense, which includes investment in the organizational structure, higher incentive compensation and health insurance expense year-over-year;
•
increased packaging related costs including investment in packaging redesign and packaging disposal costs to comply with extended producer responsibility (“EPR”) programs;
•
divestiture litigation costs; and
•
higher marketing expense, which includes incremental investments in demand creation, consumer insights, and content development.
Comparison of First Six Months of Fiscal 2027 to First Six Months of Fiscal 2026
Consolidated SG&A ratio decreased 3.9 percentage points to 39.0%, compared to 42.9%. 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; and
•
the impact of favorable operating leverage.
These factors were partially offset by:
•
increased packaging related costs to comply with EPR programs;
•
an increase in personnel expense, which includes investment in the organizational structure and higher incentive compensation expense year-over-year; and
•
divestiture litigation costs.
Asset Impairment Charges

Consolidated Operating Income (Loss)
Comparison of Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 to Second Quarter Fiscal 2026
Consolidated operating income was $22.9 million, or 5.2% of net sales revenue, compared to consolidated operating loss of $315.7 million, or (73.1)% of net sales revenue. Operating loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 included $326.4 million of pre-tax asset impairment charges. The remaining 2.7 percentage point increase in consolidated operating margin was primarily due to:
•
the favorable impact of tariff refunds, net of higher tariff costs;
•
lower overall retail trade and promotional expense year-over-year; and
•
the impact of favorable operating leverage.
These factors were partially offset by:
•
an increase in personnel expense which includes investment in the organizational structure, higher incentive compensation and health insurance expense year-over-year;
•
increased packaging related costs including investment in packaging redesign and packaging disposal costs to comply with EPR programs;
•
divestiture litigation costs;
•
inflationary product cost pressure due to commodities, fuel prices, freight, foreign currency and supply availability;
•
higher marketing expense, which includes incremental investments in demand creation, consumer insights, and content development; and
•
a less favorable inventory obsolescence impact year-over-year.
Consolidated adjusted operating income increased $11.0 million, or 40.9%, to $37.9 million, or 8.6% of net sales revenue, compared to $26.9 million, or 6.2% of net sales revenue.
Comparison of First Six Months of Fiscal 2027 to First Six Months of Fiscal 2026
Consolidated operating income was $83.3 million, or 9.9% of net sales revenue, compared to consolidated operating loss of $722.8 million, or (90.0)% of net sales revenue. Operating loss during the first six months of fiscal 2026 included $740.8 million of pre-tax asset impairment charges. The remaining 7.7 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 impact of tariff refunds, net of higher tariff costs;
•
the favorable comparative impact of CEO succession costs of $3.5 million recognized in the prior year period; and

Interest Expense
Comparison of Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 to Second Quarter Fiscal 2026
Interest expense was $10.9 million, compared to $14.2 million. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average borrowings outstanding and a lower average effective interest rate, inclusive of the impact of our interest rate swaps, compared to the same period last year.
41
Table of Contents
Comparison of First Six Months of Fiscal 2027 to First Six Months of Fiscal 2026
Interest expense was $23.1 million, compared to $28.0 million. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average borrowings outstanding compared to the same period last year.
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, generally resulting in proportionally higher earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates lower than that of the U.S.
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. Jurisdictions with year-to-date or forecasted losses for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation, which may increase the effective tax rate in interim periods.
Discrete items are recognized in the period in which they occur and 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 cannot be reasonably estimated as part of the annual effective tax rate, and other infrequent or non-recurring items. Discrete items do not include the asset impairment charges described below and in Note 5 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the three and six months ended August 31, 2025, we recognized goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $326.4 million and $740.8 million, respectively, which included $246.0 million and $511.0 million, respectively, of non-deductible goodwill that did not result in a tax benefit. The tax benefit on the impairment charge was recognized over the course of fiscal 2026 in relation to pre-tax book income, rather than as a discrete item in the periods in which the charges were incurred.
The downward revisions to our internal forecasts utilized in our impairment testing during the first half of fiscal 2026 impacted our assessment of the future realizability of a related deferred tax asset, which led to the recording of discrete valuation allowances of
$13.5 million and $30.0 million
during the three and six
months ended August 31, 2025, respectively
.
For the three months ended August 31, 2026, income tax expense was $9.2 million on pre-tax income of $13.8 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $21.0 million on a pre-tax loss of $329.7 million for the same period last year. The increase in income tax expense and effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in jurisdictions with losses excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation in fiscal 2027, and was also affected by impairment charges and the timing of related tax effects and deferred tax asset valuation allowances recognized in the same period last year.
For the six months ended August 31, 2026, income tax expense was $21.7 million on pre-tax income of $62.1 million, compared to income tax expense of $9.1 million on a pre-tax loss of $750.2 million for the same period last year. The increase in income tax expense and effective tax rate was primarily due to income tax expense recognized on the gain from the sale of our distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi and an increase in jurisdictions with losses excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation in fiscal 2027, and was also affected by impairment charges and the timing of related tax effects and deferred tax asset valuation allowances recognized in the same period last year.

Comparison of Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 to Second Quarter Fiscal 2026
Net income was $4.6 million, compared to net loss of $308.6 million. Diluted earnings per share was $0.19, compared to diluted loss per share of $13.44. The increase is primarily due to the comparative impact of after-tax asset impairment charges of $294.0 million and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets related to our intangible asset reorganization both recognized during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, higher operating income exclusive of asset impairment charges and a decrease in interest expense. These impacts were partially offset by higher income tax expense.
Adjusted income increased $5.5 million, or 40.3%, to $19.0 million, compared to $13.5 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 33.9% to $0.79, compared to $0.59.

Comparison of First Six Months of Fiscal 2027 to First Six Months of Fiscal 2026
Net income was $40.4 million, compared to net loss of $759.4 million. Diluted earnings per share was $1.69, compared to diluted loss per share of $33.09. The increase is primarily due to the comparative impact of after-tax asset impairment charges of $730.1 million and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets related to our intangible asset reorganization both recognized during the first six months 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, higher operating income exclusive of the aforementioned items and a decrease in interest expense. These impacts were partially offset by higher income tax expense.
Adjusted income was $23.0 million for both the six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 4.0% to $0.96, compared to $1.00.
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 generated $56.5 million in cash from operations during the first six months of fiscal 2027 and had $22.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at August 31, 2026. As of August 31, 2026, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries was $18.1 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 provided net cash of $56.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared to net cash provided of $47.9 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an increase in cash earnings and decreases in payments for inventory, inclusive of tariffs, and interest, partially offset by increases in cash used primarily for accounts receivable, annual incentive compensation and income taxes.
Investing Activities
Investing activities provided net cash of $60.3 million during the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared to net cash used of $21.0 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 $113.0 million during the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared to net cash used of $23.4 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash used by
45
Table of Contents
financing activities is primarily due to net repayments of our long-term debt of $109.0 million and a $4.1 million contingent consideration payment related to the Olive & June acquisition during the first six months of fiscal 2027, in comparison to net repayments of long-term debt of
$23.2 million
during the same period last year.
Credit Agreement
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 1.0
0. Th
e 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 $300 million and $325 million of the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement as of August 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 August 31, 2026, the outstanding Credit Agreement principal balance was $676.5 million (excluding prepaid financing fees) and the balance of outstanding letters of credit was $9.5 million. As of August 31, 2026, the amount available for revolving loans under the Credit Agreement was $528.8 million, and the amount available per the maximum Leverage Ratio was $277.3 million. Covenants in the Credit Agreement limit the amount of total indebtedness we can incur. As of August 31, 2026, these covenants effectively limited our ability to incur more than $277.3 million of additional debt from all sources, including the Credit Agreement.
Debt Covenants
As of August 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants as defined under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

•
the risks associated with trade barriers, exchange controls, expropriations, and other risks associated with domestic and foreign operations including uncertainty and business interruptions resulting from political changes and events in the U.S. and abroad, and volatility in the global credit and financial markets and economy;

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