e.l.f. Beauty (NYSE: ELF) today announced results for the three
and twelve months ended March 31, 2023.
“Our outstanding results in fiscal 2023 underscore the power of
the e.l.f. brand and the world class team at e.l.f. Beauty,” said
Tarang Amin, e.l.f. Beauty's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
"We grew net sales by 78% in Q4, marking our seventeenth

Beauty.”
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023 Review
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2022:
- Net sales increased 78% to $187.4 million, primarily
driven by strength across our retailer and e-commerce
channels.
- Gross margin increased approximately 470 basis points to
69%, primarily driven by pricing, lower transportation costs,
product mix and cost savings.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses
("SG&A") increased $55.7 million to $121.1 million, or 65%
of net sales. Adjusted SG&A (SG&A excluding the
items identified in the reconciliation table below) was $113.9
million, or 61% of net sales. The year over year increase in
SG&A dollars was primarily due to an increase in marketing and
digital spend, operations costs, and compensation and
benefits.
- Net income was $16.2 million on a GAAP basis.
Adjusted net income (net income excluding the items
identified in the reconciliation table below) was $23.8
million.
- Diluted earnings per share were $0.29 on a GAAP basis.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share (diluted earnings per
share calculated with adjusted net income excluding the items
identified in the reconciliation table below) were $0.42.
- Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA excluding the items identified
in the reconciliation table below) was $21.2 million, or 11% of net
sales, up 66% year over year.
Full Year Fiscal 2023 Review
For the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the
twelve months ended March 31, 2022:
- Net sales increased 48% to $578.8 million, primarily
driven by strength across our retailer and e-commerce
channels.
- Gross margin increased approximately 330 basis points to
67%, primarily driven by pricing, cost savings and product mix,
partially offset by inventory adjustments.
- SG&A increased $100.3 million to $322.3 million, or
56% of net sales. Adjusted SG&A was $293.2 million, or
51% of net sales. The year over year increase in SG&A dollars
was primarily due to an increase in marketing and digital spend,
compensation and benefits, operations costs, retail fixturing and
visual merchandising costs.
- Net income was $61.5 million on a GAAP basis.
Adjusted net income was $91.8 million.

Note Regarding non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes references to non-GAAP measures,
including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted
earnings per share. 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 expense or income related to
restructuring of operations, stock-based compensation, loss on
extinguishment of debt and other non-cash and non-recurring items.
Such other non-cash or non-recurring items historically include
legal settlements, pre-launch costs to develop the Company’s brand,
Keys Soulcare, third-party costs related to M&A due diligence,
and amortization of internal-use software costs related to cloud
applications. Adjusted SG&A excludes expense related to
stock-based compensation and other non-cash and non-recurring
items. Such other non-cash or non-recurring items historically
include legal settlements, pre-launch costs to develop the
Company’s brand, Keys Soulcare and third-party costs related to
M&A due diligence. Adjusted effective tax rate is the tax rate
when excluding the pre-tax impact of expense or income related to
restructuring of operations, stock-based compensation, other
non-cash and non-recurring items, amortization of acquired
intangible assets, as well as the related tax impact for these
items, calculated utilizing the statutory rate for where the impact
was incurred. Adjusted net income excludes expense or income
related to restructuring of operations, stock-based compensation,
other non-cash and non-recurring items, loss on extinguishment of
debt, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the tax impact
of the foregoing adjustments. Such other non-cash or non-recurring
items, which historically include legal settlements, pre-launch
costs to develop the Company’s brand, Keys Soulcare, and
third-party costs related to M&A due diligence.
With respect to the Company’s expectations under “Fiscal 2024
Outlook” above, the Company is not able to provide a quantitative
reconciliation of the adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and
adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance non-GAAP measures to
the corresponding net income and diluted earnings per share 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 outlook for fiscal 2024 under
“Fiscal 2024 Outlook” above and those statements that we believe we
are still in the early innings of unlocking the full potential we
see for e.l.f. Beauty. 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
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.
Potential investors are urged to consider these factors carefully
in evaluating the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by
law, the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise these
forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information
becomes available in the future.
