Additionally, we generated strong cash flow from operations, which was deployed to complete another strategic acquisition for Beauty Systems Group, invest in our strategic initiatives, further reduce our debt levels, and return value to shareholders through our share repurchase program.”

“We are carrying this operating and financial strength into fiscal 2025, remaining focused on driving consistent profitable growth and delivering value to shareholders. Our teams are continuing to advance our strategic initiatives related to enhancing our customer centricity, growing our high margin own brands and amplifying innovation, and increasing the efficiency of our operations.”

Beauty Systems Group Announces Strategic Acquisition of Exclusive Beauty Supplies

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Beauty Systems Group acquired certain assets of Exclusive Beauty Supplies of Florida, a leading professional beauty distributor. The acquisition adds three stores and seven direct sales consultants, as well as distribution rights for major brands, including Moroccanoil®, Olaplex®, Rusk® and Verb®, which also apply to our 75 Cosmo Prof stores in the state of Florida.

Fiscal 2024 Fourth Quarter Operating Results

Fourth quarter consolidated net sales were $935.0 million, an increase of 1.5% compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of 30 basis points on consolidated net sales for the quarter. The Company was operating 26 fewer stores at the end of the quarter compared to the prior year. At constant currency, global e-commerce sales were $91 million, or 9.8% of consolidated net sales, for the quarter.

Consolidated comparable sales increased 2.0%, driven primarily by an improvement in new and reactivated customer trends at Sally Beauty as key strategic initiatives continue to mature and the continued momentum at Beauty Systems Group driven by expanded brand and territory distribution.

Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter was $479.2 million compared to $466.6 million in the prior year, an increase of 2.7%. Consolidated GAAP gross margin was 51.2%, an increase of 60 basis points compared to 50.6% in the prior year, driven primarily by lower distribution and freight costs from supply chain efficiencies.

GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $397.4 million, an increase of $6.8 million compared to the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 42.5% compared to 42.4% in the prior year. Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, excluding the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, COVID-19-related net expenses from the prior year, restructuring efforts and other expenses, totaled $391.2 million, an increase of $3.9 million compared to the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by higher labor and other compensation-related expenses, and increased advertising expenses, partially offset by $5.5 million in savings from our fuel for growth initiative. As a percentage of sales, Adjusted SG&A expenses were 41.8% compared to 42.0% in the prior year.

GAAP operating earnings and operating margin in the fourth quarter were $82.3 million and 8.8%, compared to $76.9 million and 8.3%, in the prior year. Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin, excluding the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, COVID-19-related net expenses from the prior year, restructuring efforts and other expenses, were $88.0 million and 9.4%, compared to $79.3 million and 8.6%, in the prior year.

GAAP net earnings in the fourth quarter were $48.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net earnings of $42.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted Net Earnings, excluding the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, COVID-19-related net expenses and the loss on debt extinguishment from the prior year, restructuring efforts and other expenses, were $52.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Earnings of $45.7 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter was $118.1 million, an increase of 8.1% compared to the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 12.6%, an increase of 70 basis points compared to the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $108 million and no outstanding borrowings under its asset-based revolving line of credit. At the end of the quarter, inventory was $1.04 billion, up 6.3% versus a year ago. The Company ended the quarter with a net debt leverage ratio of 2.0x.

Fourth quarter cash flow from operations was $110.7 million. Capital expenditures in the quarter totaled $37.4 million. During the quarter, the Company utilized its strong cash flow to acquire assets from Exclusive Beauty Supplies in Florida for $7.5 million, repay the remaining $45 million outstanding balance under its asset-based revolving line of credit, and repurchase 0.8 million shares under its share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $10 million.

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, (“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 write-down of inventory 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, costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans, COVID-19-related net expenses 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 fuel for growth initiative, costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans, COVID-19-related net expenses and other adjustments 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 fuel for growth initiative, costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans, net expenses related to COVID-19 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 fuel for growth initiative, tax-effected costs related to the Company’s restructuring plans, tax-effected net expenses related to COVID-19, tax-effected expenses related to the loss on debt extinguishment and other tax-effected expenses 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 fuel for growth initiative, tax-effected related to the Company’s restructuring plans, tax-effected net expenses related to COVID-19, tax-effected expenses related to the loss on debt extinguishment and other tax-effected expenses 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.

        (1) For fiscal years 2024 and 2023, restructuring represents expenses and adjustments incurred primarily in connection with our Distribution Center Consolidation and Store Optimization Plan, including $5.8 million in cost of products sold related to adjustments to our expected obsolescence reserve during fiscal year 2023.     (2) For fiscal year 2024, Fuel for Growth and other represents expenses related to consulting services and severance expenses. For fiscal year 2023, COVID-19 and other primarily relates obsolete PPE related to store supplies in selling, general and administrative expenses and to use taxes around the donation of personal protection merchandise.     (3) For fiscal year 2024, loss on debt extinguishment relates to the repayment of our 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 and the repricing of our Term Loan B due 2030. In connection with the repayment of our senior notes, we recognized a write-off of $2.0 million in unamortized deferred financing costs and $0.5 million in overlapping interest, net of interest earned on short-term cash equivalents, on such senior notes after February 27, 2024 and until their redemption. These pro-forma adjustments assume the redeemed senior notes were repaid on February 27, 2024 at the time of closing on our 6.75% Senior Notes due 2032. In connection with the repricing of our Term Loan B, we recognized a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.7 million. For fiscal year 2023, loss on debt extinguishment relates to the repricing of our Term Loan B, which resulted in the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.8 million.     (4) The provision for income taxes was calculated using the applicable tax rates for each country, while excluding the tax benefits for countries where the tax benefit is not currently deemed probable of being realized. Additionally, for fiscal year 2023, provision for income taxes, within COVID-19 and other, includes additional $2.7 million in taxes and interest for the one-time transition tax on unrepatriated foreign earnings (“Repatriation Tax”). The Repatriation Tax in the prior year has been reclassified, from loss on extinguishment to COVID-19 and other, to reflect current year presentation.     (5) The sum of the earnings per share may not equal the full amount due to rounding of the calculated amounts   Supplemental Schedule 4     SALLY BEAUTY HOLDINGS, INC.
