Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Business Operations
Sally Beauty Holdings is an international specialty retailer and distributor of professional beauty supplies with operations in North America, South America and Europe. We are one of the largest distributers of professional beauty supplies in the U.S. based on store count, operating under
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 for the interim period presented. 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, 2021. 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 December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, and our consolidated results of operations, consolidated comprehensive income, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and our consolidated cash flows for the for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all accounts of Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts are in U.S. Dollars.
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 our estimated annual effective income tax.
Use of Estimates
In order to present our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions that impact our interim financial statements and supplementary disclosures. These estimates may use forecasted financial information based on reasonable information available, however are subject to change in the future. Additionally, unknown future impacts of COVID-19 may impact those estimates and assumptions as well. Significant estimates and assumptions are part of our accounting for sales allowances, deferred revenue, valuation of inventory, amortization and depreciation, intangibles and goodwill, and other reserves. We believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable however they are based on management’s current knowledge of events and actions and changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, and impact actual results.
Impact of COVID-19
Our operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2021, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, in particular as a result of the uncertainty around the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants on future periods. While trends have been improving, we cannot reasonably predict the effects of the pandemic or expect these positive trends to continue. If we become negatively impacted, we may have to consider adjustments to our strategic plans, inventory, liquidity, operational and capital expenditure plans.
Additionally, as the uncertainty of the economy as a result of COVID-19 continues to be prolonged, it may have an impact on our net sales and operations, and may require changes to our reserves including adjustments, write-downs and restructuring charges.

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, which are included in accrued liabilities in our condensed balance sheets, for the periods were as follows (in thousands):

The table above excludes amounts, if any, related to our ABL facility as the balance approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of our borrowings. The fair value of the senior notes was measured using unadjusted quoted market prices. The fair value of other long-term debt was measured using quoted market prices for similar debt securities in active markets or widely accepted valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, using observable inputs, such as market interest rates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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, 2021.
Executive Overview
Our financial results in the first quarter of 2022 reflect strong performance across our core categories of color and care as well as our ability to mitigate the current macro environment’s challenges and respond to them effectively. Our company and team of talented associates remain focused on providing first-rate experiences for our customers. We believe that this, coupled with our healthy levels of inventory, position us to meet customer demand and continue executing on our strategic initiatives. To that end, during the quarter we continued making progress on four strategic pillars; leveraging our digital platform, driving loyalty and personalization, delivering product innovation and advancing our supply chain.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
During the current quarter, the COVID-19 Omicron variant started to spread globally. Meanwhile, we continued to stay vigilant to developments in compliance and guidance from local and federal authorities, as well as geographical impacts of the virus and its variants. We continue to take decisive actions to protect our customers and associates. As such, we incurred additional costs around COVID-19, including testing in our distribution centers and COVID-19 cleanings during the quarter. While trends in business have been improving, we cannot reasonably predict the effects of new variants or expect these positive trends to continue. Therefore, our future performance may partially depend on impacts of COVID-19 such as widespread infections, labor shortages, global supply chain disruptions, variants of the virus, changes in governmental compliance and availability of vaccines and testing.
Refer Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, for further discussion of the risks and uncertainties pertaining to COVID-19.
15
Global Supply Chain and Inflationary Impact
There continues to be volatility in the global supply chain as strong U.S. customer demand, COVID-19 restrictions, and labor shortages in many U.S. ports have caused logistical and delivery challenges specifically with inbound container volume. Shifts in demand have led to longer lead times and delays, and carriers have been faced with increased costs associated with capacity imbalances between Chinese and U.S ports, causing the freight market to increase as well. Due to these events, we have seen an increase in our inbound freight costs and the number of out-of-stock products. Furthermore, the increase in customer demand, along with COVID-19, have created labor shortages in the U.S and caused an increase in labor costs. As a result, we may experience an increase in our compensation costs in order to attract and retain associates.
Comparable Sales
We have recently launched many digital initiatives to support our omni-channel strategies to provide customers an enhanced shopping experience. As such, we believe that comparable sales is an appropriate performance indicator to measure our sales growth compared to the prior period. Our comparable sales include sales from stores that have been operating for 14 months or longer as of the last day of a month and e-commerce revenue. Additionally, our comparable sales include sales to franchisees and full service sales. Our comparable sales excludes the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates and sales from stores relocated until 14 months after the relocation. Revenue from acquisitions are excluded from our comparable sales calculation until 14 months after the acquisition. Our calculation of comparable sales might not be the same as other retailers as the calculation varies across the retail industry.

(b) |
Our comparable sales include sales from stores that have been operating for 14 months or longer as of the last day of a month and e-commerce revenue. Additionally, our comparable sales include sales to franchisees and full service sales. Our comparable sales excludes the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates and sales from stores relocated until 14 months after the relocation. Revenue from acquisitions are excluded from our comparable sales calculation until 14 months after the acquisition. Prior to fiscal year 2022, we reported Same Store Sales. For fiscal year 2022, we are reporting Comparable Sales, which includes sales to franchisees and full service sales. We have recast prior year amounts to conform to the change. See “Comparable Sales” discussion above for further information. |

Results of Operations

(a) |
Includes stores opened for less than 14 months, net of stores closures |
The increase in net sales was driven by an increase in comparable sales, reflecting strong customer demand. While store traffic and conversion remained consistent with recent trends, average unit price increased this quarter, led by our color categories. These increases were offset by a decrease in unit volume due to operating fewer stores compared to the same quarter last year.
BSG. The increase in net sales for BSG was primarily driven by the following (in thousands):

(a) |
Includes stores opened for less than 14 months, net of stores closures |
The increase in net sales was driven by an increase in comparable sales, primarily due to an increase in average unit prices, salons operating at full capacity during the quarter, as well as strong e-commerce growth. These increases were offset by a decrease in overall unit volume due to operating fewer stores in the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year.
Gross Profit
SBS. SBS’s gross profit increased for the three months ended December 31, 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 pricing leverage, partially offset by higher distribution and freight costs.
BSG. BSG’s gross profit increased for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as a result of an increase in net sales and a higher gross margin. BSG’s gross margin increased primarily as a result of increased pricing leverage and an increase in sales volume from e-commerce customers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SBS. SBS’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.9 million, or 3.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was driven primarily by higher compensation and compensation-related expenses of $11.2 million, driven by general economic inflationary conditions and to international markets re-opening, partially offset by lower delivery expense of $2.4 million, as a result of a change in fulfillment strategy, and lower depreciation and amortization expenses of $2.1 million.
BSG. BSG’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.1 million, or 6.6%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was driven primarily by higher compensation and compensation-related expenses of $3.0 million, an increase in variable-sales related expense of $1.8 million, higher advertising expenses of $1.0 million and an increase in other operating expenses of $0.8 million.
Unallocated. Unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses, which represent certain corporate costs that have not been charged to our reporting segments, increased $6.1 million, or 15.7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to higher COVID-19 related expenses and compensation and compensation-related expenses.
Restructuring
For the three months ended December 31, 2021, restructuring charges in connection with our previously communicated Transformation Plan increased $0.9 million to $1.1 million.
18
Interest Expense
The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the lower outstanding debt principal for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020, as a result of the paydown of our senior notes due 2023 and our term loan B fixed tranche during fiscal year 2021. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional information.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rates were 25.6% and 27.0%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the tax impact of share-based compensation which was beneficial in the current year quarter, but detrimental in the prior year quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
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) increased $15.1 million, to $733.8 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $718.7 million at September 30, 2021, primarily from increased inventory as a result of restocking to new levels of demand and our risk mitigation strategy to protect against potential, continued supply chain disruptions, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
At December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $298.1 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 twelve months. We have continued to focus on reducing our debt levels and shares outstanding through repurchases, 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 share repurchases. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we did not draw funds under our ABL facility. As of December 31, 2021, we had $481.1 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.
Share Repurchase Programs
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we repurchased 3.7 million shares of our common stock for $75.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, we had authorization of approximately $651.1 million of additional potential share repurchases remaining under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program.
Cash Flows
Historically, our primary source of cash has been net funds provided by operating activities and, when necessary, borrowings under our ABL facility. Historically, the primary uses of cash have been for share repurchases, capital expenditures, repayments and servicing of long-term debt and acquisitions.
Net Cash (Used) Provided by Operating Activities
The $44.7 million decrease in net cash (used) provided by operating activities was driven by an increase in inventory purchases as we increased stocking levels to new demand and our risk mitigation strategy to protect against potential, continued supply chain disruptions, partially offset by an increase in net earnings and the timing of our receivable collections.
Net Cash Used by Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2021, increased $9.2 million to $26.7 million, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. This change was primarily a result of additional investments in information technology and store improvements.
Net Cash Used by Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2021, increased $69.9 million to $70.2 million, as a result of share repurchases, partially offset by an increase in stock options exercised.

Debt and Guarantor Financial Information
At December 31, 2021, we had $1,391.6 million in debt, not including capital leases, unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, in the aggregate, of $9.5 million. Our debt consisted of $980.0 million of senior notes outstanding and a term loan with an outstanding principal balance of $411.6 million. As of December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under our ABL facility.
We are currently in compliance with the agreements and instruments governing our debt, including our financial covenants.
Guarantor Financial Information
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.
The following table presents the summarized balance sheets information for the Issuers and the Guarantors as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 (in thousands):

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Controls Evaluation and Related CEO and CFO Certifications. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. The controls evaluation was conducted by our Disclosure Committee, comprised of senior representatives from our finance, accounting, internal audit, and legal departments under the supervision of our CEO and CFO.
Certifications of our CEO and our CFO, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, are attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report. This “Controls and Procedures” section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A system of controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Because of the limitations in all such systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Furthermore, the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how unlikely. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective system of controls and procedures, misstatements or omissions due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Scope of the Controls Evaluation. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of their objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and procedures and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify whether we had any data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, was being undertaken if needed. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Many of the components of our disclosure controls and procedures are also evaluated by our internal audit department, by our legal department and by personnel in our finance organization. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis and to maintain them as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.
Conclusions regarding Disclosure Controls. Based on the required evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
21
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved, from time to time, in various claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of our business in the ordinary course. We carry insurance coverage in such amounts in excess of our self-insured retention as we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and that may or may not cover any or all of our liabilities in respect of these matters. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
We are subject to a number of U.S., federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as the laws and regulations applicable in each foreign country or jurisdiction in which we do business. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, the composition, packaging, labeling and safety of the products we sell, the methods we use to sell these products and the methods we use to import these products. We believe that we are in material compliance with such laws and regulations, although no assurance can be provided that this will remain true going forward.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors contained in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in such Annual Report. The risks described in such Annual Report and herein are not the only risks facing our company.
