Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ:HELE) Q3 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

Rupesh Parikh: Just on promotional backdrop–yes, promotional backdrop?

Noel Geoffroy: Yes, I would say we didn’t see anything hugely unusual. What I would say across holiday in general is that it started earlier, so we saw retailers starting to offer some of their better deals, not waiting all the way to Black Friday but starting to kind of lean into I a bit earlier in the season, but not dramatically different levels of activity and discount. As I look at our portfolio, not meaningfully different or deeper areas. I’ve mentioned a couple things that we did on Hydro Flask as a really competitive category – we offered the free customization, we had some of the typical offers that we would have online. We had an offer on some special items, special colors that we brought back and things like that, but in general not a dramatic difference year-on-year in what we did promotionally.

Rupesh Parikh: Great, thank you for all the color. I’ll pass it along.

Operator: Thank you. At this time, we have reached the end of the question and answer session, and I’ll turn the call over to Noel for closing remarks.

Noel Geoffroy: Great, thank you. Thank you everyone for joining us today and for your continued interest in Helen of Troy. We look forward to speaking with many of you over the next two days at ICR, as well as virtually at the CJS conference on Wednesday. I hope everyone has a great day.

Operator: This will conclude today’s conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and we thank you for your participation.
