e.l.f. Beauty Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results
– Delivers Net Sales of $81 Million –
– Increases Fiscal 2020 Outlook –
OAKLAND, California; February 5, 2020 — e.l.f. Beauty (NYSE: ELF) today announced results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019.
“We are pleased with our third quarter results with net sales of $81 million, up 8 percent excluding e.l.f. retail stores. Our team is executing well against our five strategic imperatives and e.l.f. is gaining market share,” said Chairman and CEO Tarang Amin. “Our marketing and digital initiatives continue to bring heightened awareness to the brand, particularly among Gen Z and Millennial consumers. Given our momentum, we are raising our Fiscal 2020 guidance.”
Three months ended December 31, 2019 results
Net sales increased 3%, or $2.2 million, to $80.8 million as compared to $78.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by increased productivity across channels, progress against our strategic imperatives and timing of product shipments. This was partially offset by the closing of all 22 e.l.f. retail stores in February 2019. The three months ended December 31, 2018 included $3.7 million in net sales related to our 22 e.l.f. retail stores. Excluding the contribution from e.l.f. retail stores, net sales increased 8% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Gross margin increased to 65% from 60% when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018, with benefits from price increases, margin accretive innovation, cost savings, favorable movements in foreign exchange rates, and a lower inventory reserve, partially offset by tariffs on goods imported from China.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $39.6 million, or 49% of net sales, compared to $33.9 million, or 43% of net sales in the three months ended December 31, 2018. Adjusted SG&A (SG&A excluding the items identified in the reconciliation table below) was $35.8 million, or 44% of net sales, compared to $29.3 million, or 37% of net sales in the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to investments in marketing and digital expenses and bonus accrual, partially offset by the closure of e.l.f. retail stores.
The provision for income taxes was $3.0 million, as compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018. The change in the provision for income taxes was driven by lower discrete tax benefits of $2.4 million, primarily related to share-based compensation in 2018.
On a GAAP basis, net income was $8.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, based on a weighted-average diluted share count of 51.0 million shares. This compares to net income of $9.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, based on a weighted-average diluted share count of 49.2 million shares in the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA excluding the items identified in the reconciliation table below) decreased 4% to $21.4 million from $22.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Adjusted net income (net income excluding the items identified in the reconciliation table below) decreased to $12.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, based on a weighted-average diluted share count of 51.0 million shares. This compares to adjusted net income of $14.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, based on a weighted-average diluted share count of 49.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2019 results
Net sales increased 3%, or $6.6 million, to $208.1 million, as compared to $201.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by increased productivity across channels supported by our strategic imperatives, partially offset by the closing of all 22 e.l.f. retail stores in February 2019. The nine months ended December 31, 2018 included $10.1 million in net sales related to our 22 e.l.f. retail stores. Excluding the contribution from e.l.f. retail stores, net sales increased 9% as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
Gross margin increased to 64% from 61% when compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2018, with benefits primarily from margin accretive innovation, cost savings, favorable movements in foreign exchange rates and price increases, partially offset by higher sales adjustments and the impact of tariffs on goods imported from China.
SG&A was $110.1 million, or 53% of net sales, compared to $100.3 million, or 50% of net sales in the nine months ended December 31, 2018. Adjusted SG&A was $97.8 million, or 47% of net sales, compared to $86.7 million, or 43% of net sales in the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to investments in marketing and digital expenses, bonus accrual, and increased depreciation expenses driven by customer fixture programs. These increases were partially offset by the closure of e.l.f. retail stores.
The provision for income taxes was $6.4 million, as compared to $2.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The change in the provision for income taxes was primarily driven by an increase in income before taxes of $7.8 million and a decrease in discrete tax benefit of $2.8 million, primarily related to share-based compensation in 2018.
On a GAAP basis, net income was $18.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, based on a weighted-average diluted share count of 50.7 million shares. This compares to net income of $14.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, based on a weighted-average diluted share count of 49.3 million shares in the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 1% to $50.9 million from $50.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
Adjusted net income was $26.8 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, based on a weighted-average diluted share count of 50.7 million shares. This compares to adjusted net income of $29.5 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, based on a weighted-average diluted share count of 49.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
Balance sheet
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $74.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $51.2 million as of December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to improved operating results, partially offset by payments made to terminate store leases. As of December 31, 2019, long-term debt totaled $129.2 million, as compared to $140.5 million as of December 31, 2018.
Company outlook
As previously disclosed, the Company changed its fiscal year from the twelve months beginning January 1 and ending December 31 to the twelve months beginning April 1 and ending March 31. As a result, throughout this press release, the twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 are referred to as “fiscal 2019” and “fiscal 2020,” respectively.
“We are encouraged by the progress we are making against our strategic imperatives,” said Mandy Fields, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “These imperatives have delivered growth, despite a soft color cosmetics category.”
In the table below, fiscal 2019 includes the operation of e.l.f. retail stores. The fiscal 2020 outlook does not include e.l.f. retail stores. The new fiscal 2020 outlook reflects expected net sales growth of 7% to 8% when compared to net sales in fiscal 2019, excluding the contribution of e.l.f. retail stores.

Long-term model
“Over our almost sixteen-year history we grew in every year except calendar 2018. This year, it was critical for us to re-establish growth. Having done so, I would like to share our long-term model,” said Amin. “Over the next three years, absent major shelf space gains or strategic extensions, the Company expects compounded annual revenue growth in the low to mid-single digits. With significant space gains or strategic extensions, the Company expects revenue growth in the mid to high-single digits,” continued Amin. “In both cases, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA growth to outpace net sales growth.”

Note regarding non-GAAP financial measures
This press release includes references to non-GAAP measures, including adjusted SG&A, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS. The Company presents these non-GAAP measures because its management uses them as supplemental measures in assessing its operating performance, and believes they are helpful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and they should not be considered as alternatives to measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. The Company’s definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Adjusted EBITDA excludes costs or gains related to restructuring of operations, stock-based compensation and other non-cash and non-recurring costs. Adjusted net income excludes costs or gains related to restructuring of operations, stock-based compensation, other non-cash and non-recurring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the tax impact of the foregoing adjustments. With respect to the Company’s expectations under “Company outlook” above, the Company is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS guidance non-GAAP measures to the corresponding net income and diluted EPS GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. The Company cannot provide meaningful estimates of the non-recurring charges and credits excluded from these non-GAAP measures due to the forward-looking nature of these estimates and their inherent variability and uncertainty. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
Forward-looking statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including those statements relating to the Company’s revised outlook for fiscal year 2020 under “Company outlook” above, the Company's statements relating to growth expectations over the next three years under “Long-term model” above, the statements relating to the Company’s beliefs regarding its execution of its strategic imperatives, the Company’s expectations regarding market share, the Company’s beliefs that its marketing and digital initiatives will continue to build momentum and bring heightened awareness to the brand, and the Company’s beliefs regarding the strength or softness of the color cosmetics category. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations, estimates, forecasts, projections, beliefs and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in
the forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other things, the risks and uncertainties that are described in the Company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated from time to time in the Company's SEC filings, as well as the Company’s ability to effectively compete with other beauty companies; the Company’s ability to successfully introduce new products; the Company’s ability to attract new retail customers and/or expand business with its existing retail customers; the Company’s ability to optimize shelf space at its key retail customers; the loss of any of the Company’s key retail customers or if the general business performance of its key retail customers declines; and the Company’s ability to effectively manage its SG&A and other expenses.
