GAAP Operating Margin of 11.1%; Adjusted Operating Margin of 11.2%

DENTON, Texas--()--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, 2020. The Company will hold a conference call today at 7:30 a.m. Central Time to discuss the results.

Fiscal 2021 First Quarter Summary

  • Consolidated same store sales decreased 3.7%, primarily reflecting temporary store closures in international markets, government-mandated capacity restrictions in the U.S. and Canada, and the shut-down of salons in California and certain territories in Canada for part of the quarter due to the impact of COVID-19;
  • Global e-commerce sales increased 48%; Launched buy online/pick up in-store (BOPIS) at Sally Beauty;
  • Consolidated gross margin of 50.3%, up 190 basis points compared to the prior year period;
  • GAAP operating earnings of $104 million and GAAP operating margin of 11.1%; Adjusted operating earnings of $105 million and adjusted operating margin of 11.2%, up 130 basis points compared to the prior year period;
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.50 and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.50, up 11% and 6%, respectively, compared to the prior year period;
  • Inventory of $896 million, down 10% to the prior year; and
  • Strong liquidity position; Balance sheet cash of $538 million and zero balance outstanding on $600 million asset-based line of credit at quarter end.

Our teams executed well both operationally and financially in a particularly challenging topline environment,” said Chris Brickman, president and chief executive officer. “Despite the disruption to sales from store closures and capacity restrictions globally and salon shut-downs in California and parts of Canada, we delivered strong gross margins above 50%, closely managed expenses and generated a 6% increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share.”

At the same time, we made continued progress against our key initiatives, which included commercializing new digital capabilities such as BOPIS, growing customer engagement and loyalty, and executing against the remaining steps in our successful transformation journey, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Through our strategic investments and repositioning over the past few years, we now have a solid infrastructure and robust set of capabilities that we believe will extend our leadership position in hair color and fuel a new leg of growth for SBH post-pandemic.”

Fiscal 2021 First Quarter Operating Results

First quarter consolidated same store sales decreased 3.7% and consolidated net sales decreased 4.5% to $936.0 million, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (including temporary store closures in international markets, restricted capacity in certain markets and salon shut-downs in California and parts of Canada for a portion of the quarter) and operating 43 fewer stores compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of approximately 40 basis points on reported sales. Global e-commerce sales increased 48%, partially offsetting the decline.

Consolidated gross profit for the first quarter was $470.7 million compared to $474.8 million in the prior year. Consolidated gross margin was 50.3%, an increase of 190 basis points versus 48.4% in the prior year, driven primarily by fewer promotions in the Sally segment.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $366.2 million, down $11.8 million versus the prior year, driven primarily by lower labor costs and advertising expenses. As a percentage of sales, SG&A was 39.1% compared to 38.6% in the prior year, driven primarily by lower sales volume compared to the prior year.

GAAP operating earnings and operating margin in the first quarter were $104.3 million and 11.1%, respectively, compared to $94.4 million and 9.6%, respectively, in the prior year. Adjusted operating earnings and operating margin increased to $104.5 million and 11.2%, respectively, compared to $96.9 million and 9.9%, respectively, in the prior year.

GAAP net earnings in the first quarter were $57.2 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $53.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted net earnings were $57.4 million, an increase of 4% versus $55.2 million in the prior year and adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 6% to $0.50. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was $133.8 million, an increase of 5.0%, compared to the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.3%, an increase of 130 basis points compared to the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash on the balance sheet of $538 million and a zero balance outstanding under its $600 million asset-based revolving line of credit. The Company ended the quarter with a leverage ratio of 2.78x, reflecting our significant cash balance. For comparison purposes, the leverage ratio, as defined in our loan agreements where the impact of balance sheet cash is capped at $100 million for net debt calculation purposes, was 3.73x.

First quarter fiscal 2021 cash flow from operations totaled $39.0 million. Capital expenditures totaled $15.5 million. Operating free cash flow totaled $23.5 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the quarter. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company utilized excess cash to repay the remaining $213 million on its 4.5% fixed-rate term loan.

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,” “anticipates,” “potential,” “confident,” “optimistic,” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, objectives, estimates, guidance, expectations and future plans. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact 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, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19 and 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, 2020. 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 EBITDA and EBITDA Margin; (2) Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin; (3) Adjusted Net Earnings; (4) Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share; and (5) 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 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 previously announced restructuring plans and COVID-19 related income 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 previously announced restructuring plans and income 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 previously announced restructuring plans and tax-effected income 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 previously announced restructuring plans and tax-effected income 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.

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 U.S. dollars and include e-commerce sales, 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.
