(RTTNews) - Helen of Troy Limited (HELE) reported that its second-quarter non-GAAP core adjusted EPS was $2.27, a decrease of 14.3% from last year. Julien Mininberg, CEO, said: "Although we reported results in-line with our expectations for the quarter, we see consumers increasingly adjusting their spending patterns in response to rising inflation and the impact of higher interest rates, particularly in our premium segments in some categories. We expect the current external operating environment to remain highly challenging, causing us to lower our fiscal year 2023 outlook."
