Helen of Troy shareholders approved all four proposals at the company's 2026 annual meeting, including the election of nine directors, an advisory vote on executive compensation, an expansion of the stock incentive plan, and the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as auditor for fiscal 2027. CEO G. Scott Uzzell said the company faced tariffs, cautious retailers, and shifting trade patterns in fiscal 2026, but responded by diversifying suppliers, streamlining products, generating cash flow, and reducing debt. Fiscal 2027 will serve as the foundation year of a three-phase turnaround focused on reinvesting in priority brands, improving innovation and execution, and moving decision-making closer to consumers through a new general-management structure.
Helen of Troy LtdCEO cites tariffs as a challenge but company is responding with diversification and turnaround plan; net impact unclear.
