Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SBH) (“the Company”), the leader in professional hair color, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Company will hold a conference call today at 7:30 a.m. Central Time to discuss these results and its business.

Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Summary

  • Consolidated net sales of $942 million, an increase of 1.2% compared to the prior year;
  • Consolidated comparable sales increase of 1.5%;
  • Beauty Systems Group reported third consecutive quarter with positive comparable sales and Sally Beauty returned to positive comparable sales;
  • Global e-commerce sales of $92 million, representing 9.7% of net sales;
  • GAAP gross margin was 51.0%;
  • GAAP operating earnings of $72 million and GAAP operating margin of 7.6%; Adjusted Operating Earnings of $84 million and Adjusted Operating Margin of 8.9%;
  • GAAP diluted net earnings per share of $0.36 and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share of $0.45; and
  • Cash flow from operations of $48 million and Operating Free Cash Flow of $29 million.

“We are pleased to report solid third quarter results, including positive comparable sales in both our Sally Beauty and Beauty Systems Group segments,” said Denise Paulonis, president and chief executive officer. “At Sally Beauty, we saw positive consumer response to our performance marketing efforts, marketplace expansions, and digital enhancements. These strategic initiatives amongst others have driven improving trends in new and reactivated customers. Turning to BSG, continued focus on innovation and territory expansion drove a third consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales. Adjusted gross margin remained strong at 51% and adjusted operating margin of 8.9% exceeded our guidance.”

Paulonis added, “We continued to return capital to shareholders through our share repurchase program in the quarter, made progress on our fuel for growth initiative and remain focused on driving long-term profitable growth and shareholder value.”

Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Operating Results

Third quarter consolidated net sales were $942.3 million, an increase of 1.2% compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of 10 basis points on consolidated net sales for the quarter. At constant currency, global e-commerce sales were $92 million or 9.7% of consolidated net sales for the quarter.

Consolidated comparable sales increased 1.5%, primarily reflecting continued momentum at Beauty Systems Group from expanded distribution and product innovation amidst stable salon demand trends, and improved new and reactivated customer trends at Sally Beauty as key strategic initiatives continue to mature.

Consolidated gross profit for the third quarter was $480.9 million compared to $474.7 million in the prior year, an increase of 1.3%. Consolidated GAAP gross margin was 51.0%, which was flat to the prior year of 51.0%. Excluding the prior year’s true-up of the non-cash inventory write-down as part of the Company’s previously announced distribution center consolidation and store optimization plan, Adjusted Gross Margin was 51.0%, an increase of 10 basis points compared to 50.9% in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by lower distribution and freight costs from supply chain efficiencies, partially offset by unfavorable fixed cost absorption.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $408.7 million, an increase of $24.5 million compared to the prior year. Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, excluding costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other expenses, totaled $396.8 million, an increase of $12.6 million compared to the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by higher labor and other compensation-related expenses, depreciation expense, and advertising expense, partially offset by $4.8 million in savings from our fuel for growth initiative. As a percentage of sales, Adjusted SG&A expenses were 42.1% compared to 41.3% in the prior year.

GAAP operating earnings and operating margin in the third quarter were $71.8 million and 7.6%, compared to $90.1 million and 9.7%, in the prior year. Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin, excluding the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, restructuring efforts, and other expenses, were $84.1 million and 8.9%, compared to $89.8 million and 9.6%, in the prior year.

GAAP net earnings in the third quarter were $37.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net earnings of $50.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted Net Earnings, excluding the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, loss on debt extinguishment, restructuring efforts, and other expenses, were $48.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Earnings of $53.3 million, or $0.49 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $116.8 million, a decrease of 1.7% compared to the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 12.4%, a decrease of 40 basis points compared to the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $97 million and a $45 million balance outstanding under its asset-based revolving line of credit. At the end of the quarter, inventory was $1.02 billion, up 2.6% versus a year ago. The Company ended the quarter with a net debt leverage ratio of 2.2x.

Third quarter cash flow from operations was $47.9 million. Capital expenditures in the quarter totaled $19.1 million. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 0.9 million shares under its share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $10 million.

On June 14, 2024, the Company repriced its term loan B, reducing the pricing from SOFR (secured overnight financing rate) plus a spread of 225 basis points to SOFR plus a spread of 175 basis points. The 50 basis point reduction in the spread results in approximately $2 million in annual interest expense savings.

Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Segment Results

Sally Beauty Supply

  • Segment net sales were $536.5 million in the quarter, an increase of 0.3% compared to the prior year.

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 write-down related to the Company’s distribution center consolidation and store optimization plan 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 costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other 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, costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other 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, costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other expenses 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 expenses related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other costs, and tax-effected expenses related to loss on debt extinguishment 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 expenses related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other costs, and tax-effected expenses related to loss on debt extinguishment 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.
