Similar to other global consumer products companies, we faced many challenges in light of continuing consumer uncertainty and global economic problems.\u00a0 We are pleased that we were able to achieve growth in net sales revenue, operating income and EBITDA without share-based compensation, in a challenging retail sales environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a Company, we continue to have a very strong balance sheet and generate a significant amount of cash, which can be used to further innovate our businesses and make future acquisitions. \u00a0We are firmly committed to executing our strategic vision for Helen of Troy, even as the worldwide economic environment remains challenging.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under our previously approved share repurchase program, our Board of Directors has authorized us to purchase up to 3,019,071 shares of our outstanding common stock.\u00a0 We will continue to be opportunistic in both exploring future business acquisitions as well as repurchasing our common stock. \u00a0As of August 31, 2012, our stockholder equity was $26.81 per share.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Based on our results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and our outlook for a continuingly challenging retail sales environment, we are adjusting our expectations for the full fiscal year.\u00a0 While we still expect net sales revenue for fiscal year 2013 to be in the range of $1.3 billion to $1.325 billion, we now expect earnings per fully diluted share to be in the range of $3.50 to $3.60 for fiscal year 2013, ending February 28, 2013,&#8221; Rubin concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Helen of Troy Limited- HELE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Helen of Troy Limited (HELE) is a leading global consumer products company offering creative solutions for its customers through a strong portfolio of well-recognized and widely-trusted brands, including: <strong><em>Housewares:<\/em><\/strong> OXO\u00ae, OXO Good Grips\u00ae, OXO Soft Works\u00ae, OXO tot\u00ae and OXO Steel\u00ae; <strong><em>Personal\u00a0 Care:<\/em><\/strong> Revlon\u00ae, Vidal Sassoon\u00ae, Dr. Scholl&#8217;s\u00ae, Pro Beauty Tools\u00ae, Sure\u00ae, Pert Plus\u00ae, Infusium23\u00ae, Brut\u00ae, Ammens\u00ae, Hot Tools\u00ae, Bed Head\u00ae, Karina\u00ae, Ogilvie\u00ae and <a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/gold-price.aspx\">Gold<\/a> &#8216;N Hot\u00ae; and <strong><em>Healthcare\/Home Environment<\/em><\/strong>: Vicks\u00ae, Braun\u00ae, Honeywell\u00ae, PUR\u00ae, Febreze\u00ae, Stinger\u00ae, Duracraft\u00ae and SoftHeat\u00ae.
