Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries 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, 2024. In the opinion of management, these unaudited 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, 2024, and September 30, 2024, our consolidated results of operations, consolidated comprehensive income, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, and consolidated cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited 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 they are subject to change in the future. 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.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to enhance segment disclosures for annual and interim consolidated financial statements, including significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, but we currently do not expect to early adopt this standard. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements; however, we expect to provide additional detail and disclosures upon adoption.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to expand disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and the disaggregation of taxes paid in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update, but we do not expect the update to impact our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, that requires, among other things, more detailed disclosure about types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses. The update is intended to improve disclosures by providing amounts recognized for the purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update to our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

3. Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of our revenue is derived through the sale of merchandise at the point-of-sale in our stores or when products are shipped for e-commerce orders. 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 consolidated balance sheets, were as follows (in thousands):

See Note 12, Segment Reporting, for additional information regarding the disaggregation of our sales revenue.

4. Fair Value Measurements

We measure on a recurring basis and disclose the fair value of our financial instruments under the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, as amended (“ASC 820”). We define “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for measuring fair value and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. This valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date.

The three levels of that hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, included in Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 - Unobservable pricing inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own model with estimates and assumptions.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on recurring basis

Consistent with the fair value hierarchy, we categorized our financial assets and liabilities as follows:

The fair value of each asset and liability were measured using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses and observable inputs, such as market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

Other fair value disclosures

The carrying amounts, if any, of cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, and accounts payable and borrowing under our $500 million asset-based senior secured loan facility (the “ABL facility”) approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair value of our long-term debt, excluding finance lease obligations, debt issuance costs and original issue discounts, are as follows:

The fair value of our senior notes was measured using unadjusted quoted market prices. The fair value of our Term Loan B agreement was measured using unadjusted quoted market prices for similar debt securities in active markets.

5. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases

In August 2017, our Board of Directors (“Board”) approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our common stock, subject to certain limitations governed by our debt agreements. In July 2021, our Board approved a term extension of our share repurchase program to September 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately$510.8 million of additional share repurchase authorizations remaining under our share repurchase program. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased 0.8 million shares and 1.9 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of $10.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, excluding the impact of excise taxes.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) was as follows (in thousands):

The tax impacts for the changes in other comprehensive income (loss) and the reclassifications to net earnings were not material.

6. Weighted-Average Shares

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted-average shares (in thousands):

7. Property and Equipment, Net

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we sold our corporate headquarters located in Denton, Texas to Denton County, Texas for $45.5 million, excluding $1.5 million in closing costs. As of September 30, 2024, the assets included in the sale were classified as held for sale within other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the sale, we recognized a gain of approximately $26.6 million within selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Additionally, we entered into a lease agreement with Denton County, Texas, to lease the building for $35,000 per month fortwelve months, with the option to extend three additional months. At this time, we do not anticipate exercising this option.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, we considered potential triggering events and determined there were none during the period. No material impairment losses were recognized in the current or prior periods presented in connection with our goodwill and other intangible assets.

Goodwill allocated to our SBS and BSG reporting units, which are also defined as our SBS and BSG segments, was $82.6 million and $448.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, changes in goodwill reflect the effects of foreign currency exchange rates of $7.2 million and adjustments of $0.4 million from the completion of our Exclusive Beauty Supply, Inc. acquisition fair value assessment. Additionally, the changes to other intangibles include effects of foreign currency exchange rates of $1.4 million.

9. Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

10. Short-term and Long-term Debt

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company and other parties to the ABL facility entered into a fifth amendment which, among other things, extended the maturity date to December 11, 2029, improved certain covenant terms, and slightly increased our commitment fee to 0.25% from 0.20%. At December 31, 2024, there wereno outstanding borrowings under our ABL facility, and we had $482.7 million available for borrowing, including under our Canadian sub-facility, subject to a borrowing base limitation, as reduced by outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the amendment, we incurred approximately $1.5 million in debt issuance costs that are being amortized over the remaining life of the ABL facility.

Additionally, during the three months ended December 31, 2024, we voluntarily repaid $40.0 million of outstanding Term Loan B principle. In connection with the repayment, we recognized a $0.4 million loss on debt extinguishment within interest expense related to unamortized debt issuance costs.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we didnot purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, for the classification and fair value of our derivative instruments.

Designated Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Forwards

We regularly enter into foreign currency forwards to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate changes on forecasted inventory purchases in U.S. dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2024, we held forwards, which expire ratably through September 30, 2025, with a notional amount, based upon exchange rates at December 31, 2024, as follows (in thousands):

The changes in fair value related to these foreign currency forwards are recorded quarterly into AOCL. As the forwards are exercised, the realized value is recognized into cost of goods sold (“COGS”), based on inventory turns, in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized a loss of $0.2 million and a loss of $1.4 million, respectively. Based on December 31, 2024, valuations and exchange rates, we expect to reclassify gains of approximately $1.7 million out of AOCL and into COGS over the next 12 months.

Interest Rate Swap

In April 2023, we entered into athree-year interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $200 million (the “interest rate swap”) to mitigate the exposure to higher interest rates in connection with our Term Loan B due in 2030. The interest rate swap involves fixed monthly payments at the contract rate of 3.705%, and in return, we will receive a floating interest payment based on the 1-month Adjusted Term SOFR Rate. The interest rate swap will mature in April 2026 and is designated as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded quarterly, net of income tax, and included in AOCL.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, we recognized income of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, into interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings related to the interest rate swap. At December 31, 2024, we expect to reclassify gains of approximately $0.8 million out of AOCL and into interest expense over the next 12 months.

Non-Designated Derivative Instruments

We also use foreign exchange contracts to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate changes in connection with certain intercompany balances not permanently invested. At December 31, 2024, we held forwards, which settle on various dates in the first month of the next two fiscal quarters, with a notional amount, based upon exchange rates at December 31, 2024, as follows (in thousands):

We record changes in fair value and realized gains or losses related to these foreign currency forwards into selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the effects of these foreign exchange contracts on our condensed consolidated financial statements were gains of $1.6 million and losses of $1.3 million, respectively.

12. Segment Reporting

Segment data for thethree months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, is as follows (in thousands):

(a)

Unallocated expenses consist of corporate and shared costs and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, unallocated expenses include a $26.6 million gain related to the sale of our corporate headquarters. See Note 7, Property and Equipment, Net, for more information.

Sales between segments, which are eliminated in consolidation, were not material during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Disaggregation of net sales by segment

Periodically, we make minor adjustments to our product hierarchy, which impacts the roll-up of our merchandise categories. As a result, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The following tables disaggregate our segment revenues by merchandise category.
