This is what Gerald Rubin, CEO of Helen of Troy (HELE) had to say during the earning conference call (full transcript: Source Seeking Alpha: bit.ly/8hh1ZD )
"Looking ahead to next year [we believe] may be the best year for sales and earnings in our 42-year history. I now would like to turn our conference call over to Thomas Benson, our CFO, for the financial results."
"December actually turned out to be a very good month for us."
"If you look back at our history several years back we did have earnings of $2.35 per share and sales were certainly a little lower. They were in the $500 million level. We are doing much better than that and as I mentioned we expect to beat the $2.35 in order to have the best year ever."
