Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Operating Results

Third quarter consolidated net sales were $931.0 million, a decrease of 3.2% compared to the prior year. The Company was operating 352 fewer stores at the end of the quarter compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 20 basis points on consolidated net sales for the quarter. At constant currency, global e-commerce sales increased 3% compared to the prior year to $83 million or 8.9% of consolidated net sales for the quarter.

Consolidated comparable sales increased 0.6%, driven primarily by Sally Beauty’s strong sales recapture rates from the Company’s recent store optimization efforts, mostly offset by the continuation of stylist demand trends seen over the last several quarters at Beauty Systems Group.

Consolidated gross profit for the third quarter was $474.7 million compared to $490.2 million in the prior year, a decrease of 3.2%. Consolidated GAAP gross margin was 51.0%, flat compared to the prior year. Adjusted Gross Margin, which excludes the true-up of a non-cash inventory write-down in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 related to the Company’s previously announced distribution center consolidation and store optimization plan, was 50.9%, a decrease of 10 basis points compared to 51.0% in the prior year. Higher product margin at Sally Beauty, driven by pricing leverage and higher owned brand penetration, was offset by lower margin at Beauty Systems Group resulting from an unfavorable sales mix shift between the segment’s stores and expanded Regis partnership, as well as a shift in some distribution center costs from selling, general and administrative expenses into gross margin.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $384.2 million, a decrease of $6.8 million compared to $391.0 million in the prior year. The decrease was driven primarily by the savings from the Company’s previously announced distribution center consolidation and store optimization plan, lower advertising costs and prudent cost control, partially offset by higher labor and accrued bonus expenses. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 41.3% compared to 40.7% in the prior year.

GAAP operating earnings and operating margin in the third quarter were $90.1 million and 9.7%, compared to $99.2 million and 10.3%, in the prior year. Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin, excluding the Company’s restructuring efforts and COVID-19 related net expenses, were $89.8 million and 9.6%, compared to $100.6 million and 10.5%, in the prior year.

GAAP net earnings in the third quarter were $50.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net earnings of $46.6 million, or $0.43 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted Net Earnings, excluding the Company’s restructuring efforts, COVID-19 related net expenses, the loss on extinguishment of debt, and other adjustments, were $53.3 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Earnings of $59.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $118.8 million, a decrease of 7.5% compared to the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 12.8%, a decrease of 50 basis points compared to the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $74 million and an outstanding balance of $16 million under its asset-based revolving line of credit. At the end of the quarter, inventory was $996 million, down 2% versus a year ago. Third quarter cash flow from operations was $53.1 million. Capital expenditures in the quarter totaled $21.6 million.

The Company ended the quarter with a net debt leverage ratio of 2.2x.

On April 28, 2023, the Company entered into a 3-year interest rate swap agreement, which swaps a notional amount of $200 million of the new term loan, which was refinanced in February of 2023, from a floating term SOFR rate to a fixed rate of 3.705%.

Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Segment Results

Sally Beauty Supply

  • Segment net sales were $534.9 million in the quarter, a decrease of 3.0% compared to the prior year. The segment operated 327 fewer stores at the end of the quarter compared to the prior year and had a favorable impact of 70 basis points from foreign currency translation on reported sales. At constant currency, segment e-commerce sales decreased 5% to $32 million or 5.9% of segment net sales for the quarter.
  • Segment comparable sales increased 3.0% in the third quarter, driven primarily by strong sales recapture rates from the Company’s recent store optimization efforts. The Sally Beauty businesses in the U.S. and Canada represented 77% of segment net sales for the quarter and had a comparable sales increase of 3.1%.
  • At the end of the quarter, net store count was 3,141.
  • GAAP gross margin increased by 30 basis points to 58.8% compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher product margin from pricing leverage and higher owned brand penetration.
  • GAAP operating earnings were $88.7 million compared to $88.8 million in the prior year, essentially flat. GAAP operating margin increased to 16.6% compared to 16.1% in the prior year.

Beauty Systems Group

  • Segment net sales were $396.1 million in the quarter, a decrease of 3.3% compared to the prior year. The segment operated 25 fewer stores at the end of the quarter compared to the prior year and had an unfavorable impact of 40 basis points on reported sales from foreign currency translation. At constant currency, segment e-commerce sales increased 8% to $51 million or 13.0% of segment net sales for the quarter.
  • Segment comparable sales decreased 2.4% in the third quarter, primarily reflecting the continuation of stylist demand trends seen over the last several quarters.
  • At the end of the quarter, net store count was 1,336.
  • GAAP gross margin decreased 40 basis points to 40.5% in the quarter compared to the prior year, driven primarily by an unfavorable sales mix shift between the segment’s stores and expanded Regis partnership, as well as a shift in some distribution center costs from selling, general and administrative expenses into gross margin.
  • GAAP operating earnings were $48.7 million in the quarter, a decrease of 13.1% compared to $56.1 million in the prior year. GAAP operating margin in the quarter was 12.3% compared to 13.7% in the prior year.
  • At the end of the quarter, there were 650 distributor sales consultants compared to 700 in the prior year.

Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance

The Company is updating its full fiscal year 2023 guidance by revising its Adjusted Operating Margin to the higher end of the original guidance. All other components of the Company’s full fiscal year 2023 original guidance are being maintained:

  • Comparable sales are expected to increase by low single digits compared to the prior year, driven by growth in key categories, sales transfer from store closures related to the Company’s store optimization efforts, the expanded Regis distribution and new strategic initiatives;
  • Net sales are expected to decline by low-single digits compared to the prior year, reflecting the unfavorable impact due to store closures from the Company’s store optimization efforts, net of expected sales recapture rates;
  • Gross margin is expected to remain above 50%; and
  • Adjusted Operating Margin is now expected to be in the range of 9.0% and 9.4% (previously 8.5% to 9.5%).
    • The Company does not provide a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the occurrence and the financial impact of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release and the schedules hereto include the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures: (1) Adjusted Gross Margin; (2) Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses; (3) Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA Margin; (4) Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin; (5) Adjusted Net Earnings; (6) Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share; and (7) Operating Free Cash Flow. We have provided definitions below for these non-GAAP financial measures and have provided tables in the schedules hereto to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Gross Margin – We define the measure Adjusted Gross Margin as GAAP gross margin excluding the true-up of the inventory non-cash write-down for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – We define the measure Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses excluding COVID-19 net expenses for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA Margin – We define the measure Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net earnings before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, share-based compensation, costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans and COVID-19 related net expenses for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin – Adjusted operating earnings are GAAP operating earnings that exclude costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans and net expenses related to COVID-19 for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Operating Margin is Adjusted Operating Earnings as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted Net Earnings – Adjusted net earnings is GAAP net earnings that exclude tax-effected costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans, tax-effected net expenses related to COVID-19, tax-effected other adjustments, and tax-effected losses on extinguishment of debt for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share – Adjusted diluted net earnings per share is GAAP diluted earnings per share that exclude tax-effected costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans, tax-effected net expenses related to COVID-19, tax-effected other adjustments and tax-effected losses on extinguishment of debt for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures.

Operating Free Cash Flow – We define the measure Operating Free Cash Flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less payments for capital expenditures (net). We believe Operating Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure that provides useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated from operations after taking into account payments for capital expenditures (net).

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide valuable information regarding our earnings and business trends by excluding specific items that we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our businesses; providing a useful way for investors to make a comparison of our performance over time and against other companies in our industry.

We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to our GAAP financial measures and believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information regarding our operating performance and cash flows. Our management and Board of Directors also use these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to evaluate our businesses and the performance of management, including the determination of performance-based compensation, to make operating and strategic decisions, and to allocate financial resources. We believe that these non-GAAP measures also provide meaningful information for investors and securities analysts to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
