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 November 30, 2022 and February 28, 2022, 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, 2022 (“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 November 30, 2022, we operated three reportable segments: Home & Outdoor, Health & Wellness, and Beauty. Our Home & Outdoor segment provides a broad range of innovative consumer products for home activities such as food preparation, cooking, cleaning and organization, as well as products for outdoor and on the go activities such as hydration, food storage, backpacks, and travel gear. The Health & Wellness segment provides health and wellness products including healthcare devices, thermometers, water and air filtration systems, humidifiers, and fans. Our Beauty segment provides mass and prestige market beauty appliances including hair styling appliances, grooming tools, decorative hair accessories, and prestige market liquid-based hair and personal care products. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we made changes to the structure of our organization in connection with our global restructuring plan (as further described in Note 8) that resulted in the Health & Wellness and Beauty operating segments being combined into a single reportable segment, which will be referred to as “Beauty & Wellness.” In connection with these organizational structure changes, corresponding changes were made to how our business is managed, how results are reported internally and to how our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), our chief operating decision maker, assesses performance and allocates resources. We believe that these changes better align internal resources and external go to market activities in order to create a more efficient and effective organizational structure. There were no changes to the products or brands included within our Home & Outdoor reportable segment as part of these organizational changes nor to the way in which our CEO assesses performance and allocates resources for the Home & Outdoor segment. Therefore, beginning with our fiscal 2023 Form 10-K, our future disclosures will reflect two reportable segments, Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness, and we will recast the prior period segment information to conform to the change in the composition of these reportable segments. Accordingly, our external reportable segments will continue to align with our internal reporting to enable users of the financial statements to better understand our performance, better assess our prospects for future net cash flows, and make more informed judgements about the Company as a whole. 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, Vietnam 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 North America Personal Care business to HRB Brands LLC, for $44.7 million in cash and recognized a gain on the sale in SG&A totaling $0.5 million. On March 25, 2022, we completed the sale of the Latin America and Caribbean Personal Care business to HRB Brands LLC, for $1.8 million in cash and recognized a gain on the sale in SG&A totaling $1.3 million. See Note 3 for additional information. On April 22, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Recipe Products Ltd., a producer of innovative prestige hair care products for all types of curly and wavy hair under the Curlsmith brand (“Curlsmith”). The total purchase consideration was $147.9 million in cash, net of a final net working capital adjustment and cash acquired. See Note 4 for additional information. On December 29, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Osprey Packs, Inc. (“Osprey”), a longtime U.S. leader in technical and everyday packs, for $409.3 million in cash, net of a final net working capital adjustment and cash acquired. Osprey is highly respected in the outdoor industry with a product lineup that includes a wide range of backpacks and daypacks for hiking, mountaineering, skiing, climbing, mountain biking, trail running, commuting, and school, as well as rugged adventure travel packs, wheeled luggage, and travel accessories. See Note 4 for additional information. Macroeconomic trends and the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely impacted our business during fiscal 2023. In response to rising inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee has been raising interest rates, and has stated it intends to continue to raise rates into 2023. As a result, we incurred higher average interest rates compared to the same period last year, and we expect this trend to continue during the remainder of fiscal year 2023. While the actual timing and extent of the future increases in interest rates remains unknown, higher long-term interest rates are expected to significantly increase interest expense on our outstanding debt. High inflation and interest rates have also negatively impacted consumer disposable income, credit availability and spending, among others things, and may continue to have an adverse impact during the remainder of fiscal year 2023. Surges in demand and shifts in shopping patterns related to COVID-19, as well as other factors, have strained the global freight network, which has resulted in higher costs, less capacity, component part and raw material shortages, and longer lead times. The extent of COVID-19’s impact on the demand for certain of our product lines in the future will depend on continuing future developments, including any new variants and surges in the spread of COVID-19, our continued ability to source and distribute our products, the impact of COVID-19 on capital and financial markets, and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the continuously 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.
