e.l.f. Beauty reported quarterly earnings of 32 cents per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 29 cents, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Gross margin increased approximately 140 basis points to 73% in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by benefits from pricing, partially offset by higher tariffs.

“All five of our brands grew this year, with rhode and Naturium delivering particularly strong results and reinforcing the power of our expanding brand portfolio. The whitespace opportunity in front of us across brands, categories, and geographies gives us great confidence in the runway ahead,” Amin added.
