Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and our consolidated results of operations, consolidated comprehensive income, and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Our operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, in particular as a result of the uncertainty around the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on future periods. Due to the uncertainty over the duration and severity of the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19, the adverse impact of the pandemic may continue further into our fiscal year 2021 and possibly beyond, and it may be material.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
We adhere to the same accounting policies in the preparation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements as we do in the preparation of our full year consolidated financial statements. As permitted under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, is based on full-year assumptions. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual effective income tax rates.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing an exception related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period with year to date losses and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. Additionally, the update clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740, Income Taxes. For public companies, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but all amendments must be adopted at once. The amendments in this update have different adoption methods including prospective basis, retrospective basis, and a modified retrospective basis dependent on the specific change. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update, but based on our preliminary assessment we do not believe that adoption of this update will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
4. Revenue Recognition
Substantially all of our revenue is derived through the sale of merchandise at the point-of-sale. Revenue is recognized net of estimated sales returns and sales taxes. We estimate sales returns based on historical data.
Changes to our contract liabilities for the period were as follows (in thousands):

6. Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchases
In August 2017, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its common stock, subject to certain limitations governed by our debt agreements, over an approximate four-year period expiring on September 30, 2021. See Note 13, Subsequent Event, for more information on our share repurchase program.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we completed our annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. For goodwill, we used a qualitative analysis and our actual and forecasted results are exceeding the estimates from the last quantitative test. No material impairment losses were recognized in the current or prior periods presented in connection with our goodwill and other intangible assets.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, amortization expense related to other intangible assets was $1.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, amortization expense was $5.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
Additionally during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the increase in goodwill was primarily from the effects of foreign currency exchange rates of $6.1 million.
9. Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt
At June 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under our ABL facility and we had $481.7 million available for borrowing, thereunder, including our Canadian sub-facility, subject to the conditions contained therein. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into a third amendment to our ABL facility which extended the maturity to May 11, 2026. In connection with the amendment, we incurred $1.3 million in debt issuance costs that will be amortized over the life of the ABL facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we paid the remaining $213.2 million of aggregate outstanding principal on our term loan B fixed tranche at par, excluding accrued interest. In connection with the debt repayment, we recognized a $1.4 million loss on the extinguishment of debt from the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
On April 1, 2021, we called the entire outstanding balance of $197.4 million of our 5.50% senior notes due 2023 at par plus a premium. In connection with the repayment, we recognized losses on extinguishment of debt in the aggregate amount of $2.8 million, which included a $1.8 million call premium and the write-off of $1.0 million in unamortized deferred financing costs.
On June 30, 2021, we elected to repay $8.3 million of aggregate outstanding principal on our term loan B variable tranche. This optional prepayment did not have any early prepayment penalties. In connection with the prepayment, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million from the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 30, 2021, we still have $414.4 million remaining on our term loan B variable tranche.
Covenants
The agreements governing our ABL facility, term loan B and the senior notes contain a customary covenant package that places restrictions on the disposition of assets, the granting of liens and security interests, the prepayment of certain indebtedness, and other matters with customary events of default, including customary cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all debt covenants, and all the net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries were unrestricted from transfer.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we did not purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 5, Fair Value Measurements, for the classification and fair value of our derivative instruments.
Designated Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Currency Forwards
We regularly enter into foreign currency forwards to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate changes on inventory purchases in U.S. dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. At June 30, 2021, the notional amount we held through these forwards, based upon exchange rates at June 30, 2021, was as follows (in thousands):

We record quarterly, net of income tax, the changes in fair value related to the foreign currency forwards into AOCL. As the forwards are exercised, the realized value is recognized into cost of goods sold based on inventory turns. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a loss of $0.3 million and a gain of $0.1 million, respectively, into cost of goods sold on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Based on June 30, 2021 valuations and exchange rates, we expect to reclassify losses of approximately $1.0 million into cost of goods sold over the next 12 months.
Interest Rate Caps
In July 2017, we purchased two interest rate caps with an initial aggregate notional amount of $550 million (the “interest rate caps”) to mitigate the exposure to higher interest rates in connection with our term loan B. The interest rate caps are comprised of individual caplets that expire ratably through June 30, 2023, and are designated as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the interest rate caps are recorded quarterly, net of income tax, and are included in AOCL. Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify approximately $1.6 million into interest expense, which represents the original value of the expiring caplets.
The effects of our interest rate caps on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings were not material for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

12. Income Tax
For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our effective tax rates were 26.7% and 9.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of the prior year was negatively impacted by foreign losses for which a tax benefit could not be recognized. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our effective tax rates were 26.6% and 37.2%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to greater losses in the prior year from foreign subsidiaries for which a tax benefit could not be recognized and the establishment of a valuation allowance in a foreign subsidiary in the prior year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the impact of these and certain other tax impacting items is opposite the customary relationship due to the loss before the provision for income taxes that was incurred. A lower effective tax rate is not beneficial in situations where a pre-tax book loss has been incurred.

13. Subsequent Event
In 2017 the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our common stock through September 30, 2021. On July 22, 2021, the Board approved a term extension of the share repurchase program for the four-year period ending September 30, 2025. Under the extension we are authorized to purchase our common stock up to the amount remaining under the Board’s 2017 authorization, which is currently $726.1 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This section discusses management’s view of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Sally Beauty. This section should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Risk Factors sections therein, and information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes to those financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim period or the entire fiscal year, in particular as a result of the uncertainty of the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on future periods.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business and Business Strategy Update
COVID-19 restrictions on our global store operations continued to ease in the current quarter. However, due to the continued uncertainty over the duration and severity of the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19, the adverse impact of the pandemic may continue further into our fiscal year 2021 and possibly beyond, and it may be material.
Furthermore, we continue to make progress against our key business initiatives, which includes leveraging and optimizing our elevated digital capabilities, growing our customer engagement and loyalty, and implementing the final steps in our successful transformation journey, which remains on track to be substantially completed by the end of the year.

For the purpose of calculating our same store sales metrics, we compare the current period sales for stores open for 14 months or longer as of the last day of a month with the sales for these stores for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Our same store sales are calculated in constant dollars and include e-commerce sales from certain digital platforms, but do not generally include the sales from stores relocated until 14 months after the relocation. The sales from stores acquired are excluded from our same store sales calculation until 14 months after the acquisition.

SBS experienced higher unit volume primarily due to the reopening of all of our customer-facing store operations in the U.S. and Canada, improving consumer confidence in the U.S. and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions across international territories. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, there was minimal impact from temporary closures of certain customer-facing store operations as a result of COVID-19. Additionally, SBS experienced an increase in average unit prices, resulting from a change in product mix to higher-priced products.

BSG experienced higher unit volume primarily due to reopening of all of our customer-facing store operations in the U.S. and Canada and higher operating capacities in salons from the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. This was partially offset by a decrease in average unit price primarily due to increased promotions and customer discounts.
Gross Profit
Consolidated. Consolidated gross profit increased for the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to higher net sales in both segments and a higher gross margin in SBS, partially offset by a lower gross margin in BSG.
SBS. SBS’s gross profit increased for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of an increase in net sales and a higher gross margin. SBS’s gross margin increased primarily as a result of the impact of the prior year’s non-cash inventory write down and inventory clearance efforts, partially offset by higher sales volume from the lower margin European operations as a percentage of total segment sales compared to the prior year.
BSG. BSG’s gross profit increased for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of an increase in net sales, partially offset by a lower gross margin. BSG’s gross margin decreased primarily as a result of higher sales volume from large volume/lower margin full service customers that rebounded from the COVID-19 impact in the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of higher compensation and compensation-related expenses, rent expense and advertising expenses. These increases were driven by the impact of COVID-19 in the prior year. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 680 basis points to 37.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to the increase in sales.
SBS. SBS’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $33.0 million, or 16.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was driven primarily by higher compensation and compensation-related expenses of $49.7 million, resulting from furloughs due to COVID-19 in the prior year. Additionally, rent expense increased $6.9 million, due to rent abatements in the prior year. These expenses were partially offset by lower delivery expense of $21.5 million due to lower e-commerce volume compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.
19
BSG. BSG’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $30.7 million, or 38.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was driven primarily by higher compensation and compensation-related expenses of $23.3 million, resulting from furloughs due to COVID-19 in the prior year. Additionally, rent expense increased $3.9 million, due to rent abatements in the prior year, and advertising expenses increased $1.7 million.
Unallocated. Unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses, which represent certain corporate costs that have not been charged to our reporting segments, increased $8.2 million, or 22.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher compensation and compensation-related expenses of $14.9 million as a result of employees furloughed in the prior year. This increase was partially offset by lower COVID-19 expense in the current period.
Restructuring
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, restructuring charges in connection with our previously communicated Project Surge and the Transformation Plan decreased $5.3 million to $0.5 million as we have substantially completed these restructuring plans.
Interest Expense
The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the lower outstanding debt principal for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. We recognized lower interest expense as a result of the repayments of our term loan B fixed tranche of $3.0 million and senior notes due 2023 of $2.7 million. Additionally, the lower outstanding principal balance on our ABL facility resulted in lower interest expense of $2.6 million. These decreases were partially offset by debt extinguishment costs of $2.9 million and incremental interest on the senior notes issued in April 2020 of $1.7 million. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional information.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rates were 26.7% and 9.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was negatively impacted by foreign losses which cannot be tax benefitted. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the impact of these and certain other tax impacting items is opposite the customary relationship due to the loss before the provision for income taxes that was incurred. A lower effective tax rate is not beneficial in situations where a pre-tax book loss has been incurred. See Note 12, Income Tax, for more information on our effective tax rate.
The Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021, compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2020

BSG experienced higher unit volume and an increase in average unit prices. The higher unit volume was primarily due to the impact of reopening of customer-facing store operations in the U.S. and Canada. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we experienced additional temporary closures and restricted capacity of certain customer-facing store operations in various markets in the U.S. and Canada, as well as salon closures in parts of California and Canada due to the effects of COVID-19 during the fiscal year. The increase in the average unit price was primarily driven by lower promotional activity.
Gross Profit
Consolidated. Consolidated gross profit increased for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, due to higher net sales in both segments and a higher gross margin in SBS, partially offset by a lower gross margin in BSG.
SBS. SBS’s gross profit increased for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of increased net sales and a higher gross margin. SBS’s gross margin increased primarily as a result of fewer promotions, partially offset by the write-down of personal-protective equipment inventory.
BSG. BSG’s gross profit decreased for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of a lower gross margin, partially offset by increased net sales. BSG’s gross margin decreased primarily as a result of the write-down of personal-protective equipment inventory, partially offset by fewer promotions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of the impact of prior year cost saving initiatives in response to COVID-19, including furloughs and the suspension or elimination of all non-critical projects and non-essential spend. Additionally, the increase was due to higher COVID-19 expenses, primarily from donation expense related to personal-protective equipment inventory, rent expense and incremental costs from businesses acquired in the past 12 months. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 250 basis points to 39.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, due to the increase in sales.
SBS. SBS’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.3 million, or 0.5%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was driven primarily by higher compensation and compensation-related expenses of $33.5 million, resulting from furloughs due to COVID-19 in the prior year. The increase was partially offset by lower delivery expense of $17.3 million due to lower e-commerce volume compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020, advertising expenses of $7.0 million and incremental store expense for personal protective equipment in the prior year.
BSG. BSG’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $36.2 million, or 12.8%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was driven primarily by higher compensation and compensation-related expenses of $20.5 million, resulting from furloughs due to COVID-19 in the prior year. Additionally, the increase was due to higher rent expense of $5.6 million, primarily due to rent abatements in the prior year, shipping costs and incremental costs from businesses acquired in the past 12 months.
Unallocated. Unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses, which represent certain corporate costs that have not been charged to our reporting segments, increased $28.4 million, or 22.4%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher compensation and compensation-related expenses of $24.9 million as a result of employees furloughed in the prior year, and higher COVID-19 expense in the current period primarily from donation expense related to personal-protective equipment inventory of $29.8 million, compared to COVID-19 expense of $23.4 million in the prior year.
Restructuring
For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, restructuring charges in connection with our previously communicated Project Surge and the Transformation Plan decreased $10.2 million to $1.4 million as we have substantially completed these restructuring plans.
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense is primarily due to incremental interest on the senior notes issued in April 2020 of $14.8 million and debt extinguishment costs of $4.5 million, partially offset by the impact of the repayments of our term loan B fixed tranche in January 2021 of $7.0 million and the senior notes due 2023 in April 2021 of $2.7 million. Additionally, the lower outstanding principal balance on our ABL facility resulted in lower interest expense of $3.3 million and the lower interest rates on our term loan B variable tranche of $4.0 million. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional information.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rates were 26.6% and 37.2%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to greater losses in the prior year from foreign subsidiaries for which a tax benefit could not be recognized and the establishment of a valuation allowance in a foreign subsidiary in the prior year. See Note 12, Income Tax, for more information on our effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our outstanding indebtedness and from funding the costs of our operations, working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment and share repurchases. Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) decreased $190.8 million, to $678.9 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $869.7 million at September 30, 2020, resulting primarily from a decrease in cash and cash equivalents from the repayments of outstanding long-term debt and increased inventory as a result of improving COVID-19 conditions.
At June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $270.3 million. Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we anticipate that existing cash balances (excluding certain amounts permanently invested in connection with foreign operations), funds expected to be generated by operations and funds available under our ABL facility will be sufficient to fund working capital requirements, potential acquisitions, anticipated capital expenditures, including information technology upgrades and store remodels, and debt repayments over the next 12 months. Due to the improving COVID-19 conditions, we have shifted our focus to reducing our debt levels while also being proactive in maintaining our financial flexibility.
We utilize our ABL facility for the issuance of letters of credit, certain working capital and liquidity needs, and to manage normal fluctuations in our operational cash flow. In that regard, we may from time to time draw funds under the ABL facility for general corporate purposes including funding of capital expenditures, acquisitions, interest payments due on our indebtedness, paying down other debt and opportunistic share repurchases. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we did not borrow under our ABL facility. As of June 30, 2021, we had $481.7 million available for borrowings under our ABL facility, subject to borrowing base limitations, as reduced by outstanding letters of credit. Amounts drawn on our ABL facility are generally paid down with cash provided by our operating activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into a third amendment to our ABL facility which extended the maturity date to May 11, 2026.
Share Repurchase Programs
During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we did not repurchase any common stock. As of June 30, 2021, we had authorization of approximately $726.1 million of additional potential share repurchases remaining under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. See Note 13, Subsequent Event, for additional information on our share repurchase program.
Historical Cash Flows
Historically, our primary source of cash has been net funds provided by operating activities and, when necessary, borrowings under our ABL facility. While historically, the primary uses of cash have been for share repurchases, capital expenditures, repayments and servicing of long-term debt and acquisitions, we have shifted our focus in the short-term to reduce cash expenditures.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, decreased $56.7 million to $217.7 million, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020, mainly due to increases in vendor receivables and inventory, partially offset by increased net income and higher accounts payable. The increase in inventory and accounts payable was driven by the timing of inventory purchases and payments as we restock to new levels of demand. Additionally, the increase in vendor receivables was driven by higher sales in the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Net Cash Used by Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, decreased $44.4 million to $47.2 million, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. This change was primarily a result of our focus on reduced capital expenditures.
Net Cash (Used) Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 resulted primarily from the repayments on our term loan B fixed tranche, the senior notes due 2023 and term loan B variable tranche. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we had a source of cash from financing activities primarily from the borrowings on our ABL and the issuance of senior notes as a response to COVID-19, partially offset by share repurchases.
Long-Term Debt and Guarantor Financial Information
At June 30, 2021, we had $1,394.3 million in debt, not including capital leases, unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, in the aggregate, of $11.7 million. Our debt consisted of $980.0 million of senior notes outstanding and a term loan with an outstanding principal balance of $414.4 million. As of June 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under our ABL facility.
During the fiscal year, we paid the remaining $213.2 million of aggregate outstanding principal on our term loan B fixed tranche, the $197.4 million outstanding on our senior notes due 2023 and $8.3 million on our term loan B variable tranche.
We are currently in compliance with the agreements and instruments governing our debt, including our financial covenants.

Guarantor Financial Information
We are providing the following information in compliance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X for guaranteed issued securities that have been registered under such regulation. Currently, our issued securities consist of the 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025. This debt instrument was issued by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sally Holdings LLC and Sally Capital Inc. (the “Issuers”), under a shelf registration statement.
The notes are unsecured debt instruments guaranteed by us and certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (together, the “Guarantors”) and have certain restrictions on the ability to pay restrictive payments to Sally Beauty. The guarantees are joint and several, and full and unconditional. Certain other subsidiaries, including our foreign subsidiaries, do not serve as guarantors.
The following summarized consolidating financial information represents financial information for the Issuers and the Guarantors on a combined basis. All transactions and intercompany balances between these combined entities has been eliminated.
