Exhibit 99.1
e.l.f. Beauty Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
– Delivered 27th Consecutive Quarter of Net Sales Growth –
– Issues Fiscal 2026 Outlook –
OAKLAND, California; November 5, 2025 — e.l.f. Beauty (NYSE: ELF) today announced results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025.
“Our Q2 results, which included 140 basis points of market share gains for our namesake e.l.f. brand and a record-breaking launch of rhode in Sephora North America, are a continuation of the consistent, category-leading growth we’ve delivered over the past 27 quarters,” said Tarang Amin, e.l.f. Beauty’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We remain confident in our strategy to grow market share and capitalize on the significant whitespace ahead of us.”
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024:
•Net sales increased 14% to $343.9 million, primarily driven by growth in both our retailer and e-commerce channels, in the US and internationally.
•Gross margin decreased approximately 165 basis points to 69%, primarily driven by higher tariff costs, partially offset by benefits from pricing and mix.
•Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $45.0 million to $231.1 million, or 67% of net sales. Adjusted SG&A (SG&A excluding the items identified in the reconciliation table below) increased $33.0 million to $193.2 million, or 56% of net sales. The increase in SG&A is primarily related to an increase in marketing, merchandising and distribution costs, compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization and professional fees.
•Other income (expense), net decreased from $3.8 million of other income to $1.9 million of other expense, primarily driven by an increase in foreign currency losses in the period attributable to currency rate fluctuation.
•Net income was $3.0 million on a GAAP basis. Adjusted net income (net income excluding the items identified in the reconciliation table below) was $40.7 million.
•Diluted earnings per share were $0.05 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 $0.68.
•Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA excluding the items identified in the reconciliation table below) was $66.2 million, or 19% of net sales, down 4% year over year.

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024:
•Net sales increased 12% to $697.7 million, primarily driven by growth in both our retailer and e-commerce channels, in the US and internationally.
•Gross margin decreased approximately 190 basis points to 69%, primarily driven by higher tariff costs, partially offset by benefits from pricing and mix.
•Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $60.3 million to $427.0 million, or 61% of net sales. Adjusted SG&A (SG&A excluding the items identified in the reconciliation table below) increased $45.9 million to $370.5 million, or 53% of net sales. The increase in SG&A is primarily related to an increase in marketing,
merchandising and distribution costs, depreciation and amortization, professional fees and compensation and benefits.
•Other income (expense), net decreased from $4.0 million to $3.2 million, primarily driven by an increase in foreign currency losses in the period attributable to currency rate fluctuation.

Note Regarding non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes references to non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A, 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 or substitutes for 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 stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt and other non-cash and non-recurring items. Such other non-cash or non-recurring items include amortization of internal-use software costs related to cloud applications, acquisition related costs, and cloud computing ERP implementation costs.
Adjusted SG&A excludes expense related to stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items. Such other non-recurring items include other non-recurring cloud computing ERP implementation costs and acquisition related costs.
Adjusted effective tax rate is the tax rate when excluding the pre-tax impact of expense or income related to 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 related to stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, other non-recurring items, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the tax impact of the foregoing adjustments. Such other non-recurring items include other non-recurring cloud computing ERP implementation costs and acquisition related costs.

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.
