Inventory at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 was $144.4 million, compared to $98.4 million at December 31, 2021.

Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance
The Company expects 2023 to be a reset year in which it increases investments to support future growth. The Company's fiscal 2023 guidance outlined below incorporates management's expectations regarding current consumer demand, uncertainty related to the macroeconomic environment and trends improving sequentially throughout the year, leading to growth in the three months ending December 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022.
For Fiscal 2023: | |||
(Dollars in millions) | 2023 | 2022 Actual | % change (based on mid-point) |
Net Sales | $563-$634 | $704 | (15)% |
Adjusted Net Income* | $176-$224 | $312 | (36)% |
Adjusted EBITDA* | $261-$322 | $429 | (32)% |
*Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. See “Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.
In addition to providing full year guidance for fiscal 2023, the Company has decided to also provide quarterly guidance for the first quarter of 2023. However, the Company does not undertake to provide quarterly guidance in the future. Assuming fiscal 2023 net sales at the midpoint of the range reflected in the fiscal 2023 net sales guidance above, the Company expects net sales to decline in the three months ending March 31, 2023 (“first quarter��), as compared to the first quarter of 2022, as follows:
(Expected decreases are approximate) | Q1 2023 | Q1 2022 | ||
Change in Net Sales | (41)% | 57.6% | ||
Change in Sales by Channel | ||||
Professional | (43)% | 62.6% | ||
Specialty Retail | (47)% | 102.5% | ||
DTC | (28)% | 15.1% |
The fiscal 2023 net sales, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA guidance set forth above are approximations and are based on the Company’s plans and assumptions for the relevant period, including, but not limited to, the following:
- First Quarter 2023 Net Sales:
- The Company expects continued negative impact from inventory rebalancing at certain professional and specialty retail customers, which is expected to lower year over year net sales for the first quarter of 2023 by approximately $25 million (based on the midpoint of the range reflected in the fiscal 2023 net sales guidance above) as compared to the prior year.
- The first quarter of 2022 also included approximately $10 million in net sales attributable to inventory pipeline sold to a key specialty retailer during the first quarter of 2022, and similar inventory pipeline sales did not occur in the first quarter of 2023.
- Second Quarter 2023 Net Sales:
- The Company expects net sales in the second quarter of 2023 to sequentially improve from the first quarter of 2023, but remain down significantly compared to a year ago. The Company expects that this anticipated decline will primarily be attributable to reduced customer demand, as well as a result of net sales in the prior period of approximately $22 million related to the Company’s introduction of 1-Liter size offerings of certain of its products and net sales of approximately $10 million made to customers during the second quarter of 2022 in advance of the Company’s price increases effective as of July 1, 2022.
- Second Half 2023 Net Sales:
- In the second half of 2023, the Company expects net sales to benefit from the impact of new product introductions, additional distribution gains, and improvements in customer demand due to the Company's increased investments in sales, marketing and education.
- Gross Profit Margin:
- The Company anticipates an approximate 300 to 400 basis point decline in gross profit margin in 2023 compared to 2022 as a result of expected increases in warehousing and distribution costs and anticipated deleveraging from lower sales volume, which is expected to be more than offset by the positive impacts of cost savings and price increases implemented in the second half of 2022.
- Adjusted EBITDA phasing:
- The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 48.7% for fiscal year 2023, assuming fiscal 2023 net sales and Adjusted EBITDA at the midpoint of the range reflected in the fiscal 2023 net sales guidance above. The Company anticipates Adjusted EBITDA margins below this level in the first half of the year, with the most contraction in the first quarter of 2023, but higher than this rate in the second half of 2023 driven primarily by an expected improvement in net sales during that period.
- Interest Expense:
- The Company expects net interest expense to be approximately $40 million during fiscal year 2023, which includes net impacts from short-term investments of the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance.
- Income Tax:
- The Company expects an effective tax rate of approximately 20.5% for fiscal year 2023.
- The Company expects an effective tax rate of approximately 20.5% for fiscal year 2023.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with GAAP, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted SG&A and adjusted diluted EPS. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance and facilitate internal comparisons of its historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures may be helpful to investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of the Company’s business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating its operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude: (1) interest expense, net; (2) income tax provision; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) share-based compensation expense; (5) non-ordinary inventory adjustments; (6) non-ordinary costs and fees; (7) non-ordinary legal costs; (8) non-capitalizable initial public offering ("IPO") and strategic transition costs; (9) as applicable, Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustments. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net sales. The Company calculates adjusted net income as net income, adjusted to exclude: (1) amortization of intangible assets (excluding software); (2) non-ordinary costs and fees; (3) non-ordinary legal costs; (4) non-ordinary inventory adjustments; (5) share-based compensation expense; (6) non-capitalizable IPO and strategic transition costs; (7) Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment; (8) tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. The Company calculates adjusted gross profit as gross profit, adjusted to exclude: (1) non-ordinary inventory adjustments and (2) amortization of patented formulations pertaining to the acquisition of the Olaplex, LLC business in 2020 by certain investment funds affiliated with Advent International Corporation and other investors (the "Acquisition"). The Company calculates adjusted gross profit margin by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales. The Company calculates adjusted SG&A as SG&A, adjusted to exclude: (1) share-based compensation expense; (2) non-ordinary legal costs, (3) non-capitalizable IPO and strategic transition costs; (4) non-ordinary costs and fees. The Company calculates adjusted basic and diluted EPS as adjusted net income divided by weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding respectively.
Please refer to "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Equivalents" located in the financial supplement in this release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP metrics to their most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.
This release includes forward-looking guidance for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted net income. The Company is not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, a reconciliation of the guidance for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted net income to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure that would be necessary for such reconciliations, including (a) income tax related accruals in respect of certain one-time items, (b) costs related to potential debt or equity transactions, and (c) other non-recurring expenses that cannot reasonably be estimated in advance. These adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond the Company's control, and as a result, it is also unable to predict their probable significance. Therefore, because management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results in accordance with GAAP, it is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures included in its full fiscal year 2023 and first quarter 2023 guidance.
