Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Related Information | 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, 2021 and February 28, 2021, 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, 2021 (“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 “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 consumer products company offering creative products and solutions for our customers through a diversified portfolio of brands. As of August 31, 2021, we operated three segments: Housewares, Health & Home, and Beauty. Our Housewares segment provides a broad range of innovative consumer products for the home and on the go to help with food preparation, cooking, cleaning, organization, beverage service, and other tasks to ease everyday living for families. The Health & Home segment provides healthcare and home environment products including health care devices, water filtration systems, and small home appliances. Our Beauty segment provides mass and prestige market beauty appliance and personal care products including hair styling appliances, grooming tools, decorative haircare accessories, and liquid personal care products. Our business is seasonal due to different calendar events, holidays and seasonal weather 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, Mexico and the U.S. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we committed to a plan to divest certain assets within our Beauty segment's mass channel personal care business, which included liquid, powder and aerosol products under brands such as Pert, Brut, Sure and Infusium (“Personal Care”). On June 7, 2021, we completed the sale of our Personal Care business, not including the Latin America and Caribbean regions, to HRB Brands LLC, for $44.7 million in cash. The net assets sold included intangible assets, inventory, certain net trade receivables, fixed assets and certain accrued sales discounts and allowances relating to our North America Personal Care business. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we recognized a gain on the sale totaling $0.5 million, which has been recognized in SG&A within our condensed consolidated statement of income. The transaction also includes an option that provides HRB Brands LLC the right to purchase the Latin America and Caribbean Personal Care businesses no later than the end of fiscal 2022, subject to meeting certain agreed-upon conditions. Accordingly, we have continued to classify the identified net assets of the Latin America and Caribbean Personal Care businesses as held for sale. See Note 3 for additional information. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) to be a pandemic. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had an unfavorable impact on certain parts of our business. The impact includes the effect of temporary closures of certain customer stores or limited hours of operation, and materially lower store traffic, primarily during fiscal 2021. Additionally, COVID-19 has disrupted certain parts of our supply chain. Surges in demand and shifts in shopping patterns related to COVID-19, as well as other factors, have strained the global freight network, which is resulting in higher costs, less capacity, and longer lead times. These factors may impact our ability to fulfill some orders on a timely basis. Additionally, the extent of COVID-19's impact on the demand for certain of our product lines in the future will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic, our continued ability to source and distribute our products, as well as any future government actions affecting consumers and the global economy generally, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. Accordingly, our liquidity and financial results could be impacted in ways that we are not able to predict today. 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. Reclassifications We have reclassified, combined or separately disclosed certain amounts in the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes to conform with the current period’s presentation.
