Gerald Rubin, CEO of Helen of Troy Limited said, “I wanted to mention about the acquisitions. I'm glad you brought that up. We are looking at acquisitions. We are getting more calls than we have in the past. You asked about the quality. Some are good, some are bad, some we don't want, some we are interested in. Our EBITDA is going to be over $100 million this year. And if you take our debt minus the cash that we have, our debt to EBITDA is approximately 1-to-1. So we have the possibility of raising money based on our balance sheet, so we are looking for acquisitions based on that, that we certainly don't have an overleveraged balance sheet on a 1-to-1 ratio.”
