U.S. consumer recovery and Health growth supported Q3 results; softer consumer sentiment and cautious retailer inventory commitments lowered the FY2026 outlook.

9M revenue rose 2.8% to $404.9M; net income was $40.8M, including a substantial one-time tariff-refund benefit.
9M gross profit was $152.2M; reported gross margin was 37.6% vs. 24.4%, or 26.9% excluding IEEPA refunds and affected-inventory benefits.
Outlook and guidance
FY2026 revenue is now expected to be flat YoY, down from prior guidance for growth approaching mid-single digits; Q4 sales are expected below prior expectations.
FY2026 gross margin, excluding IEEPA refunds, is expected to improve modestly from 2025; operating profit is forecast to decline in the high teens on a percentage basis.
Operating cash flow less investing cash use is expected at $40M–$50M, up from $35M–$45M; guidance includes $6M planned advertising and ~$5M non-recurring ERP depreciation.
