Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Operating Results

Third quarter consolidated net sales were $933.3 million, a decrease of 1.0% compared to the prior year. The Company was operating 35 fewer stores at the end of the quarter compared to the prior year and foreign currency translation had no impact on consolidated net sales for the quarter. Global e-commerce sales were $99 million, or 10.6% of consolidated net sales, for the quarter.

Consolidated comparable sales decreased 0.4%, primarily reflecting macro uncertainty, which impacted consumer spending at Sally Beauty, partially offset by strong growth in hair color and digital marketplaces at Sally Beauty as well as continued momentum at Beauty Systems Group from expanded distribution and new brand innovation.

Consolidated gross profit for the third quarter was essentially flat at $481.0 million compared to $480.9 million in the prior year. Consolidated GAAP gross margin was 51.5%, an increase of 50 basis points compared to 51.0% in the prior year. Consolidated Adjusted Gross Margin, excluding the inventory write-off from the Company’s European operations in connection with the fuel for growth initiative, was 52.0%, an increase of 100 basis points compared 51.0% in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by the Sally Beauty segment, which delivered higher product margin resulting from benefits from the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, lower distribution and freight costs, and lower shrink expense.

GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $402.8 million, a decrease of $5.9 million compared to the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 43.2% compared to 43.4% in the prior year. Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, excluding the Company’s costs related to the fuel for growth initiative, expenses related to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters, and other non-recurring expenses, totaled $398.9 million, an increase of $2.1 million compared to the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by higher labor and other compensation-related expenses, and higher information technology costs, partially offset by $6.4 million in savings from the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and lower depreciation expense. As a percentage of sales, Adjusted SG&A expenses were 42.7% compared to 42.1% in the prior year.

GAAP operating earnings and operating margin in the third quarter were $78.2 million and 8.4%, respectively, compared to $71.8 million and 7.6%, in the prior year. Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin, excluding the Company’s costs related to the fuel for growth initiative, expenses related to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters, costs related to restructuring efforts, and other non-recurring expenses, were $86.1 million and 9.2%, respectively, compared to $84.1 million and 8.9%, in the prior year.

GAAP net earnings in the third quarter were $45.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net earnings of $37.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted Net Earnings, excluding the Company’s costs related to the fuel for growth initiative, expenses related to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters, costs related to restructuring efforts, the loss on debt extinguishment, and other non-recurring expenses, were $52.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Earnings of $48.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $115.3 million, a decrease of 1.3% compared to the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 12.4%, flat to the prior year.


Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $113 million and no outstanding borrowings under its asset-based revolving line of credit. At the end of the quarter, inventory was $1.01 billion, down 1.7% versus a year ago.

Third quarter cash flow from operations was $69.4 million and Operating Free Cash Flow totaled $49.1 million. During the quarter, the Company utilized its cash flow to repay $21 million of term loan B debt and repurchase 1.5 million shares under its share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $13 million. The Company ended the quarter with a net debt leverage ratio of 1.7x.

Full Year

 

   

Comparable sales are expected to be approximately flat (previously flat to down 1%)

 

   

Consolidated net sales are expected to be approximately 75 basis points lower than comparable sales due to the expected unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates on full year net sales and operating approximately 30 fewer stores compared to the prior year

 

   

Adjusted Operating Margin is expected to be in the range of 8.6% to 8.7% (previously 8.0% to 8.5%)

 

*

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 its 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, (“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 inventory write-off from the Company’s European operations in connection with the fuel for growth initiative 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 the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, expenses related to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters, and other non-recurring 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, expenses related to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters and other non-recurring 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 the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, expenses related to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters, costs related to restructuring efforts, and other non-recurring 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 the tax-effected the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, tax-effected expenses related to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters, tax-effected costs from the loss on debt extinguishment, tax-effected costs related to restructuring efforts, and tax-effected other non-recurring 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 the tax-effected costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative, tax-effected expenses related to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters, tax-effected costs from the loss on debt extinguishment, tax-effected costs related to restructuring efforts, and tax-effected other non-recurring 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.
