Sally Beauty Holdings Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

Generated Q1 Cash Flow from Operations of $51 Million
Executed $20 Million in Share Repurchases
Maintains Full Year Fiscal 2024 Guidance

 

DENTON, Texas, February 1, 2024 – Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SBH) (“the Company”), the leader in professional hair color, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2023. The Company will hold a conference call today at 7:30 a.m. Central Time to discuss these results and its business.

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Summary

Consolidated net sales of $931 million, a decrease of 2.7% compared to the prior year;
Consolidated comparable sales decline of 0.8%;
Global e-commerce sales of $91 million, representing 9.8% of net sales;
GAAP gross margin 50.2%;
GAAP operating earnings of $69 million and GAAP operating margin of 7.4%; Adjusted Operating Earnings of $74 million and Adjusted Operating Margin of 7.9%;
GAAP diluted net earnings per share of $0.35 and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share of $0.39; and
Cash flow from operations of $51 million and Operating Free Cash Flow of $20 million.

“We are pleased with our start to the year, delivering results in line with our expectations while continuing to make solid progress on our strategic initiatives to drive top line growth and improve profitability over the long-term,” said Denise Paulonis, president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter, our teams executed well as we continued to focus on customer centricity, and bringing innovation, education and new services to our customers. The business generated solid cash flow from operations of more than $50 million in the quarter, allowing us to return value to shareholders through our share repurchase program.”

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Operating Results

First quarter consolidated net sales were $931.3 million, a decrease of 2.7% compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting the unfavorable impact from the Company’s December 2022 store closures. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 90 basis points on consolidated net sales for the quarter. At constant currency, global e-commerce sales were $91 million or 9.8% of consolidated net sales for the quarter.


 


 

Consolidated comparable sales declined 0.8%, driven primarily by lower traffic and inflationary pressures that continued to impact consumer behavior at Sally Beauty, partially offset by expanded distribution, new brand innovation and improving salon demand trends at Beauty Systems Group.

Consolidated gross profit for the first quarter was $467.2 million compared to $488.6 million in the prior year, a decrease of 4.4%. Consolidated GAAP gross margin was 50.2%, a decrease of 80 basis points compared to 51.0% in the prior year. 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 50.2%, a decrease of 60 basis points compared to 50.8% in the prior year. The decrease was driven primarily by an unfavorable sales mix shift between Sally Beauty (higher margin) and Beauty Systems Group (lower margin), and unfavorable fixed cost absorption, partially offset by lower distribution and freight costs from supply chain efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $398.1 million, an increase of $6.6 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, and COVID-19 related net expenses, totaled $393.3 million, an increase of $2.7 million compared to the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by higher labor costs, rent costs and other expenses related to the Company’s strategic initiatives, partially offset by savings from the Company’s previously announced distribution center consolidation and store optimization plan. As a percentage of sales, Adjusted SG&A expenses were 42.2% compared to 40.8% in the prior year.

GAAP operating earnings and operating margin in the first quarter were $69.1 million and 7.4%, compared to $86.6 million and 9.0%, in the prior year. Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin, excluding the Company’s restructuring efforts, costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other expenses, and COVID-19 related net expenses, were $73.9 million and 7.9%, compared to $95.4 million and 10.0%, in the prior year.

GAAP net earnings in the first quarter were $38.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net earnings of $50.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted Net Earnings, excluding the Company’s restructuring efforts, costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other expenses, and COVID-19 related net expenses, were $42.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Earnings of $56.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was $107.1 million, a decrease of 14.9% compared to the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 11.5%, a decrease of 160 basis points compared to the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $121 million and a zero-balance outstanding under its asset-based revolving line of credit. At the end of the quarter, inventory was $1.01 billion, up 2.1% versus a year ago. The Company ended the quarter with a net debt leverage ratio of 2.2x.

First quarter cash flow from operations was $51.0 million. Capital expenditures in the quarter totaled $30.6 million. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1.9 million shares under its share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $20 million.


 


 

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Segment Results

Sally Beauty Supply

Segment net sales were $523.2 million in the quarter, a decrease of 4.8% compared to the prior year, driven primarily by the lapping of the Company’s December 2022 store optimization efforts. The segment had a favorable impact of 160 basis points from foreign currency translation on reported sales. At constant currency, segment e-commerce sales were $35 million or 6.7% of segment net sales for the quarter.
Segment comparable sales decreased 1.9% in the first quarter, primarily reflecting lower traffic and inflationary pressures that impacted consumer behavior.
At the end of the quarter, net store count was 3,143 compared to 3,146 in the prior year.
GAAP gross margin decreased by 30 basis points to 58.6% compared to the prior year. The decrease was driven primarily by an unfavorable sales mix shift between Sally US (higher margin) and Sally international (lower margin), and unfavorable fixed cost absorption, partially offset by lower distribution and freight costs from supply chain efficiencies.
GAAP operating earnings were $77.6 million compared to $99.2 million in the prior year, representing a decrease of 21.7%. GAAP operating margin decreased to 14.8% compared to 18.0% in the prior year.

Beauty Systems Group

Segment net sales were $408.1 million in the quarter, essentially flat to the prior year. The segment operated 20 fewer stores at the end of the quarter compared to the prior year. At constant currency, segment e-commerce sales were $56 million or 13.8% of segment net sales for the quarter.
Segment comparable sales increased 0.7% in the first quarter, primarily reflecting expanded distribution, new brand innovation and improving salon demand trends.
At the end of the quarter, net store count was 1,332.
GAAP gross margin decreased 110 basis points to 39.4% in the quarter compared to the prior year. 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 decreased 40 basis points to 39.4% compared to the prior year. The decrease was driven primarily by unfavorable fixed cost absorption and shrink expense, partially offset by lower distribution and freight costs from supply chain efficiencies and higher product margin.
GAAP operating earnings were $44.6 million in the quarter, a decrease of 10.1% compared to $49.6 million in the prior year. GAAP operating margin in the quarter was 10.9% compared to 12.2% in the prior year.
At the end of the quarter, there were 656 distributor sales consultants compared to 688 in the prior year.

Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance

The Company is maintaining the following guidance for the full fiscal year 2024:

Net sales and comparable sales are expected to be approximately flat compared to the prior year, reflecting growth from the Company’s strategic initiatives, offset by anticipated pressure on consumer spending;
Gross Margin is expected to remain above 50%;


 


 

Adjusted Operating Margin is expected to be at least 9.0%;
Operating Cash Flow is expected to be at least $260 million; and
Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $100 million.

* 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.

Forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” “can,” “may,” “estimates,” “should,” “plans,” “targets,” “intends,” “could,” “will,” “would,”

Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as such statements speak only as of the date they were made. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the forward-looking statements, including, those described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023. Consequently, all forward-looking statements in this release are qualified by the factors, risks and uncertainties contained therein. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

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, and 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, costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other expenses, 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, costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other expenses, 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 expenses related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and other costs, and tax-effected 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 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 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.

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.
