Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. Announces Repayment of 5.50% Senior Notes Due 2023

DENTON, Texas--()--Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SBH) (“the Company”), the leader in professional hair color, today announced that it has fully repaid the outstanding balance of $197 million on its 5.50% senior unsecured notes due 2023, effective April 1, 2021. The repayment was funded with excess cash and reflects continued progress toward deleveraging the Company’s balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $375 million of cash on-hand and a zero balance outstanding on its asset-based revolving line of credit. Given the Company’s strong liquidity position and proven ability to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company made the strategic decision to execute an additional round of debt reduction.

Today’s debt reduction represents another positive step in our stated commitment to deleverage our balance sheet. Including this debt repayment, the Company has now reduced its debt levels by over $850 million since September 2020,” said Marlo Cormier, chief financial officer.
