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, 2023 and February 28, 2023, 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, 2023 (“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, 2023, we operated two reportable segments: Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness. 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 below and in Note 8) that resulted in our previous Health & Wellness and Beauty operating segments being combined into a single reportable segment, which is referred to herein 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 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. As a result of these changes, our disclosures reflect two reportable segments, Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness. Comparative prior period segment information in this report has been recast to conform to this change in our reportable segments. 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 future net cash flows, and make more informed judgments about the Company as a whole. Our Home & Outdoor segment provides a broad range of outstanding world-class brands that help consumers enjoy an outdoor lifestyle and make everyday living better. Our innovative products for home activities include food preparation, cooking, cleaning, organization, and beverage service. Our outdoor performance range includes hydration products, backpacks, and travel gear to ease your journey and inspire your next adventure. 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, and liquid-, solid-, and powder-based personal care products that help make everyone look and feel more beautiful. On the Wellness side, 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, Mexico, Vietnam and the U.S. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we focused on developing a global restructuring plan intended to expand operating margins through initiatives designed to improve efficiency and reduce costs (referred to as “Project Pegasus”). See Note 8 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. The Curlsmith brand and products were added to the Beauty & Wellness segment. See Note 4 for additional information. During fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023, we divested certain assets within our Beauty & Wellness 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. 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 or combined certain amounts in the prior year's accompanying footnotes to conform with the current year's presentation.
