Osprey Paces Robust Growth for Helen of Troy’s Home & Outdoor Segment

July 8, 2026

Helen of Troy Ltd.’s Home & Outdoor segment’s sales expanded 9.5 percent year-over-year to $194.9 million in the fiscal first quarter ended May 31, led by strength at its Osprey backpack brand that were boosted by international and e-commerce momentum. Hydro Flask’s gains were boosted by increased distribution at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

On an analyst call, Helen of Troy’s CFO Brian Grass said the company’s Home & Outdoor segment achieved “broad-based growth” across all three of its brands, also including the OXO houseware brand. 

“Osprey was the strongest performer, with growth driven by improvements in our international distribution network and e-commerce momentum,” said Grass. “OXO benefited from lapping prior tariff-related disruption, strong point-of-sale trends, and expanded brick-and-mortar distribution. Hydro Flask growth reflects expanded retail distribution, inventory optimization, and e-commerce momentum.” SGB MEDIA
