ELF, led by CFO Mandy Fields, has grown into a global beauty platform, aided by Rhode and Naturium acquisitions. FY2026 sales reached $1.636B, up 25% YoY. Tariff refunds boosted net income and margins, enabling continued investment in marketing and influencer-led product development.
ELF Beauty launched Mirror Mix, a branded music album, funded in part by a $50 million tariff refund to intensify marketing. The move aims to lift unaided brand awareness and sustain multi-quarter growth, following 30 consecutive quarters of expansion. Near-term upside hinges on marketing translating into pricing power and higher volumes.
Elf Beauty posted a strong fiscal first quarter, aided by roughly $50 million in tariff refunds and related interest. Adjusted EPS reached $1.75 on $479.4 million in revenue, topping estimates and lifting full-year guidance to $1.94–$1.97 billion in sales and $3.50–$3.55 in adjusted EPS. The windfall is likely temporary, with margins potentially normalizing as price actions lap.
ELF posted a solid Q4 with adjusted EPS of $0.32 and revenue of $449.29 million, beating estimates and reflecting 35% year-over-year growth. The Rhode acquisition accounted for roughly one-third of the growth, with US net sales up 26% and international sales up 75%. Early hair-styling tests show strong customer response, including a large share of new ELF buyers, suggesting a meaningful expansion runway despite a persistent death cross in the chart.
