Amendment Description This Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Amendment") of Helen of Troy Limited (the "Company") for the period ended May 31, 2016 amends the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed by the Company on July 11, 2016 (the "Original Form 10-Q"), is to correct an inadvertent error in Part 1, Item 1. "Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Note 9 – Acquisitions." Within Note 9, the Company incorrectly reported certain supplemental pro forma information. For the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company reported net sales revenue, net income, and basic and diluted earnings per share as if the Hydro Flask acquisition (as described in the Original Form 10-Q), which occurred on March 18, 2016, had occurred as of March 1, 2015. This Amendment revises these amounts.
