Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
For the foreseeable future, a lot will come out of China, but also with the addition of Naturium, which is a 100% manufactured in the U.S., we feel good about how our supply chain is evolving in the future and being more diversified
We expect adjusted EBITDA margin leverage of approximately 200 basis points year-over-year, up from a 190 basis points previously, supported by the combination of our strong net sales growth, gross margin expansion, and leverage in our non-marketing SG&A expenses
We've executed against this vision and delivered exceptional, consistent category leading growth
Q3 marked our 20th consecutive quarter of net sales growth, putting e.l.f
Beauty for delivering another phenomenal quarter
I'm so proud of our incredible team at e.l.f
So, feel really good about that, in addition to the Shoppers and Boots
In color cosmetics, we continue to significantly outperform the category
So we feel really good about that profile and particularly being able to bring in both new users as we go through
As Mandy said, we do expect Nielsen to be in that lower range, but we still feel really good even with Nielsen comping very strong numbers
So I feel really good about the progress that's being made, under that
So, we feel really good about what that's going to enable similar to what we saw with both Target and Ulta as they expanded assortment
Given our momentum, we see an opportunity to double our share again over the next few years
So, we're feeling great about, how the business is coming together, we believe, for the quarter
We are continuing to see great momentum in other parts of our business
In skincare, we also continue to outperform the category
We're picking up people directly from Prestige Skin, in that business and so I feel really good about the strategy, particularly on an innovation standpoint where we'll continue to get e.l.f
Introducing innovation at higher price points has had a benefit to this year and as we look forward and think about our future innovation, we could see some impact from that as well, especially as we think about gross margins, innovation mix has been one of the key drivers to that over time
Naturium probably opens itself up to other more premium retail locations over time, but we feel really, really great about the business we have at Target, Amazon, Naturium.com, very excited about Shoppers Drug Mart
So, we like the fact that they're very distinct and complementary, yet both have tremendous growth potential
Naturium has doubled our skincare penetration to 18% of retail sales and gives us a fast growing complementary brand to further our aspirations in the category
Naturium has seen exceptional growth with net sales growing at an 80% CAGR over the last two years
We're pleased by the strong growth that Naturium continued to deliver in Q3
So, yes, very pleased with how Q3 came together and very consistent really with what we've seen all year with volume being the main driver of our growth
We saw terrific growth in the U.K
and Canada, our largest global markets, and we're enjoying success in our expansion to other countries as well
We see significant runway to expand our brands globally
So, really pleased with our ability to, not only raise for Q3, pass through the Q3, but also raised for Q4
Obviously, you've seen very strong benefit from volume and price mix, but more from volume
So far that integration has done extremely well in terms of being able to help them realize the growth potential behind Naturium and also bring learnings into the company
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
And that obviously now creates tougher comps
Obviously looking at your comparison it gets tougher by around 300 basis points in the fourth quarter of last year
We knew about that when we made the acquisition
Last year's spot featuring Jennifer Coolidge and Power Grip Primer affirmed our hypothesis that women were underserved despite being nearly 50% of Big Game viewers
Since 2020, our unaided awareness in the U.S
To what level price mix plays into it, we'll have to see, as we go through
So just curious the driver of that lower gross margin there
Maybe first, just on the fourth quarter, I apologize if I missed this, but the implied EBITDA margin in 4Q and kind of earnings as well does embed a bit of a step down
So, I understand even with the ways you decelerate a bit in the fourth quarter
