Summary · why it matters

e.l.f. Beauty is moving into a new phase as skincare and international distribution become larger parts of its growth profile. Skincare has grown from roughly 9% of global consumption three years ago to about 23%, supported by brands Rhode, Naturium and e.l.f. SKIN. e.l.f. SKIN generated about $200 million in fiscal 2026 global retail sales, while Naturium delivered nearly $250 million, roughly double its pre-acquisition level. International net sales grew 38% in fiscal 2026, but markets outside the United States still represented only about 21% of total company sales, leaving room to scale abroad. Rhode generated more than $500 million in annualized fiscal 2026 retail sales and about $390 million in net sales, yet remains in less than 20% of Sephora's global store base. The company's fiscal 2027 sales guidance of $1.84 billion to $1.90 billion implies 12% to 14% year-over-year growth, though softer core demand, tariff uncertainty and heavy marketing spending keep earnings visibility limited.
