Helen of Troy Limited shares fell by 4% on Wednesday after the manufacturer of beauty and household products announced a decline in sales for its third quarter and reduced profit forecasts for 2018. This was due to a fall in demand of beauty and wellness goods.

Visible Alpha surveyed analysts who expected revenue of $532.7 million. The third quarter fiscal 2025 revenues were down 3% from the previous year to $530.7 millions. Although the company missed forecasts by $49.6million, its adjusted earnings (EPS) was $2.67, beating expectations.

Sales at the Beauty & Wellness segment fell 9% to $284.6 million, which Helen of Troy blamed on "weak winter and illness season, a decline in sales of hair appliances due to softer consumer demand, increased competition, a net distribution decline year-over-year, and a decrease in water filtration due to the previously disclosed expiration of an out-license relationship and category softness."

Home & Outdoor unit sales rose 4% to $246.1 million, driven higher by demand for insulated beverageware. 

Noel Geoffroy is the company’s CEO “continued to navigate a difficult consumer spending environment.”
