Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, 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 that are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, our consolidated results of operations, consolidated comprehensive income, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all accounts of Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts are presented 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 condensed consolidated interim 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 assumptions available at the time of preparation; however, actual results could differ due to changes in facts and circumstances. Significant estimates and assumptions are involved in the accounting for sales allowances, deferred revenue, valuation of inventory, amortization and depreciation, intangible assets and goodwill, and other reserves. We believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable based on management’s knowledge of current events and anticipated future actions, and changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and impact actual results. Revisions to estimates are recognized in the period in which the facts that give rise to the change become known.

  1. 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. 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 – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which 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 related to inventory purchases, 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. Early adoption is permitted, but we currently do not expect to early adopt this standard. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update to our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

  1. 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, when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer. 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):

Nine Months Ended June 30,
20252024
Beginning Balance$11,493$14,038
Loyalty points and gift cards issued but not redeemed, net of estimated breakage5,9049,266
Revenue recognized from beginning liability(6,703)(11,252)
Ending Balance$10,694$12,052

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

  1. 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 used in 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:

(in thousands)ClassificationFair Value Hierarchy LevelJune 30,2025September 30,2024

Non-designated cash flow hedgesAccrued liabilitiesLevel 21,6191,485
Interest rate swapOther LiabilitiesLevel 2—635
Total liabilities$1,957$2,120

The fair value of each asset and liability was determined 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, accounts payable, and borrowings 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. The carrying amounts and corresponding estimated fair values of our long-term debt, excluding finance lease obligations, debt issuance costs, and original issue discounts, are as follows:

Fair Value · June 30, 2025 · September 30, 2024
(in thousands)Hierarchy LevelCarrying ValueFair ValueCarrying ValueFair Value

Total long-term debt$896,000$909,510$994,000$1,008,508

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

  1. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases

In August 2017, our Board of Directors (the “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 2021, our Board approved a term extension of our share repurchase program through September 30, 2025. On May 6, 2025, the Board approved a term extension of the share repurchase program for an additional four-year period ending September 30, 2029. Under this extension the Company is authorized to purchase its common stock up to the amount remaining under the Board’s 2017 authorization. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately$487.8 million of additional share repurchase authorizations remaining under our share repurchase program. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 1.5 million shares and 3.3 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of $13.0 million and $33.0 million, respectively, excluding the impact of excise taxes. For thethree and nine months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 0.9 million shares and 4.3 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of $10.0 million and $50.0 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):

  1. Property and Equipment, Net and Divesture of Subsidiary

During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, 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. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a lease agreement with Denton County to lease back the property at a monthly rent of $35,000 for a term oftwelve months, with the option to extend the term for an additional three months.

On April 1, 2025, we sold 100% of the outstanding shares of our wholly owned subsidiary, Pro-Duo Spain SL, to an unaffiliated third party for $3.2 million. As part of the transaction, we divested operations of 19 stores in Spain and recognized a gain of $0.8 million, recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated results of operations. We do not expect the sale to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

  1. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we completed our annual impairment assessments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. For our goodwill testing, we performed a qualitative analysis and determined that there was no indication of impairment requiring further quantitative testing. For our indefinite-lived intangible asset assessment, we performed a quantitative analysis and determined a trade name within the SBS reporting segment, as defined below, was fully impaired. As a result, we recognized an impairment loss of $1.8 million within selling, general, and administrative expenses. No material impairment losses were recognized in the prior periods presented in connection with our goodwill and intangible assets.

Goodwill allocated to our Sally Beauty Supply ("SBS") and Beauty Systems Group ("BSG") reporting units, which are also defined as our SBS and BSG segments, was$91.1 million and$449.8 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2025.

Intangible assets amortization expense$851$764$2,550$2,415

For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, changes in goodwill reflect the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments of $2.5 million and purchase accounting adjustments of $0.4 million related to the finalization of the fair value assessment for our acquisition of Exclusive Beauty Supply, Inc, partially offset by a reduction of $0.2 million in conjunction with the sale of Pro-Duo Spain SL. Additionally, changes to other intangibles include the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.5 million.

  1. Short-term and Long-term Debt

In December 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, modified certain covenant provisions, and increased the commitment fee to 0.25% from 0.20%. At June 30, 2025, there wereno outstanding borrowings under our ABL Facility, and we had $482.5 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, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025, we voluntarily repaid $40.0 million, $35.0 million, and $20.0 million, respectively, of outstanding Term Loan B principle in addition to our mandatory quarterly payments. In connection with the repayments, we recognized a $0.9 million loss on debt extinguishment within interest expense related to unamortized debt issuance costs for thenine months ended June 30, 2025.

  1. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, 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 June 30, 2025, we held forwards, which expire ratably through September 30, 2025, with a notional amount, based upon exchange rates at June 30, 2025, as follows (in thousands):

Notional CurrencyNotional Amount
Mexican Peso$6,113
Canadian Dollar3,300
Euro1,738
Total$11,151

The changes in fair value related to these foreign currency forwards are recorded quarterly into AOCL. As the forwards are exercised, the realized gains or losses are recognized into cost of goods sold (“COGS”), based on inventory turns, in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized net gains of$0.6 million and net losses of$0.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized net gains of$0.7 million and net losses of$2.5 million, respectively. Based on June 30, 2025, valuations and exchange rates, we expect to reclassify approximately $0.4 million of net losses from AOCL into COGS over the next 12 months.

Interest Rate Swap

In April 2023, we entered into athree-year interest rate swap agreement 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.

Each month, we recognize either income or expense, based on the position of the interest rates, into interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings related to the Interest Rate Swap. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized income of$0.2 million and$0.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized income of$1.1 million and$2.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2025, based on current at interest rates and the fair value of the Interest Rate Swap, we expect to reclassify approximately $0.3 million of net gains from AOCL into interest expense over the next 12 months.

Non-Designated Derivative Instruments

We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations related to certain intercompany balances that are not considered permanently invested. At June 30, 2025, we held forward contracts, which mature at various dates during the first month of each of the next two fiscal quarters, with a notional amount, based upon exchange rates at June 30, 2025, as follows (in thousands):

Notional CurrencyNotional Amount
British Pound$37,860
Euro14,229
Canadian Dollar11,656
Mexican Peso7,032
Total$70,777

Changes in the fair value of the forward contracts, as well as realized gains or losses upon settlement, are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. For thethree months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized net losses of$1.3 million and net gains of$0.8 million, respectively, related to the foreign exchange forward contracts. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized net losses of$0.3 million and$0.8 million, respectively, related to the foreign exchange forward contracts.
