Business-activity disclosure
e.l.f. Beauty is a multi-brand beauty company selling cosmetics and skin-care products under e.l.f. Cosmetics, e.l.f. SKIN, rhode, Naturium and Well People. Cosmetics and personal-care products are generally permissible, subject to ingredient, use-context and marketing questions.
Limitation: The Form 10-K reports consolidated beauty-product sales and brand names but does not allocate revenue by ingredient, product use, advertising depiction or other category that would produce a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator.
Purification
The filing discloses 6.930 of interest income, or approximately 0.42% of annual net sales, but this record does not prescribe a fixed purification amount because scholarly treatment of the income line and the unavailable product-level business numerator is not universal.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Interest-bearing debt uses total gross debt of 841.676, consisting of the 256.676 revolving line and 585.000 term loan reported at March 31, 2026; the 2.328 debt-issuance-cost deduction is not used to understate the debt input.
- Cash and cash equivalents use 289.685. The filing describes cash and money-market funds but does not report a separate marketable-securities balance, so interest-bearing securities are set to zero rather than inferred.
- Receivables use the reported net accounts-receivable balance of 174.644. The filing separately describes sales-adjustment reserves and trade receivables but does not provide a different screen-specific subtotal.
- Annual revenue uses net sales of 1,636.472 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
- The filing separately reports 6.930 of interest income within the interest-expense note; this is 0.42% of annual net sales. No fixed purification amount is prescribed from that line alone.
- The filing describes five beauty brands and broad product categories but does not provide a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator by ingredient, product use or marketing context.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
