DENTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SBH) (“the Company”) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Company will hold a conference call today at 7:30 a.m. Central Time to discuss these results.
Fiscal 2020 Fourth Quarter Overview
For the fourth quarter, consolidated same store sales increased by 1.3%. Consolidated net sales were $957.8 million in the fourth quarter, down 0.8% compared to the prior year, as an increase in same store sales, led by a +3.7% from the Sally Beauty U.S. and Canadian retail business, and a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of approximately 20 basis points on reported sales, was offset by a slower recovery from elements of Beauty Systems Group’s full-service business, the impact of lost professional sales associated with the second round of COVID-19 related shut-downs of California salons during parts of July and August, and a smaller store base with 23 fewer stores compared to the prior year. Global e-commerce sales grew by 69% in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year.
GAAP diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter were $0.62, compared to $0.58 in the prior year, an increase of 6.9%, driven primarily by a much stronger gross margin rate, lower income tax expense, and a lower average share count; which was partially offset by modestly higher selling, general and administrative expenses due to higher e-commerce delivery expense and continued transformation investment, and an increase in interest expense. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding charges related to the Company’s previously announced restructuring efforts in both years and COVID-19 related income in the current year from a Canadian wage subsidy, were $0.63 in the fourth quarter, compared to $0.58 in the prior year, an increase of 8.6%.
“During the fourth quarter, we saw a significant acceleration in our sales and margin performance compared to the third quarter boosted by the reopening and stabilization of our operations across the globe and progress from our strategic initiatives in innovation, digital content, technology and talent. While total reported sales for the fourth quarter slightly trailed the prior year period, due primarily to the ongoing impact of the COVID crisis and fewer stores, we are pleased to report positive same store sales and significant gross margin expansion. We ended the year with strong liquidity, including $131 million in operating free cash flow for the quarter and a strengthened balance sheet with over $500 million of cash after proactively reducing our debt levels by $445 million. I am proud of our 30,000 associates around the world who assisted our Company in meeting the needs of our customers during this unsettling time,” said Chris Brickman, president and chief executive officer.
“We begin fiscal 2021 focused on completing our transformation plan while maintaining stringent financial discipline and ample liquidity as uncertainty remains as to the duration and severity of the pandemic. Our strategic initiatives will involve capitalizing on strong consumer interest in DIY hair color, building and refining our digital customer experience including the addition of ‘Buy Online / Pickup In-Store’, growing our new Private Label Rewards Credit Card Program, expanding the rollout of JDA to the rest of our distribution centers, and growing our partnerships with Female-owned and Black-owned brands. This should provide our Company with a strong platform as we navigate past COVID-19 and achieve our goal of sustained long-term profitable growth.”
Update on Transformation Plan
Despite the disruptions caused by COVID-19, the Company completed key objectives of our Transformation Plan in Fiscal Year 2020, including:
- The rollout of the Oracle-based point-of-sale system to both Sally Beauty and Beauty Systems Group stores;
- The national launch of the new Sally Beauty brand campaign ‘Unleash Your PROtential’;
- The launch of new service models including ‘Ship-From-Store’ at 2,400 Sally Beauty stores, ‘Same-Day Delivery’ at 1,000 Beauty Systems Group stores and ‘Curbside Pickup’ in both segments;
- The launch of the new Private Label Rewards Credit Card Program at both Sally Beauty and Beauty Systems Group; and
- The addition of key talent across store operations, merchandising, marketing, e-commerce and finance.
As we move into Fiscal Year 2021, the Company’s focus will be on the following key initiatives:
- Leveraging elevated digital capabilities through the rollout of ‘Buy Online / Pickup In-Store’ at all Sally U.S. retail stores in November and expanding it to Beauty Systems Group stores in the second half of the year;
- Growing customer engagement and loyalty through the recently launched Private Label Rewards Credit Card Program for the Sally Beauty segment and the new Beauty Systems Group loyalty framework, and redesigning of the Beauty Systems Group e-commerce site and mobile app;
- Increasing brand partnerships that resonate strongly with our customers, including growing our leadership in Female-owned and Black-owned brands;
- Optimizing efficiencies and driving savings through the ongoing rollout of JDA, our new merchandising and supply chain platform, to all distribution centers; and
- Continuing to build and refine our digital customer experience, globally.
Fiscal 2020 Fourth Quarter Financial Detail
Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter was $489.1 million, an increase of $9.9 million from the prior year. Consolidated gross margin was 51.1%, an increase of 150 basis points compared to the prior year, driven primarily by fewer promotions and favorable mix shifts to higher margin categories, partially offset by a reduction in vendor allowances from fewer promotions and reduced inventory purchases.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 38.3% compared to 37.7% in the prior year, driven primarily by higher e-commerce delivery expense, continued transformation investment, and a lower sales volume compared to the prior year.
GAAP operating earnings and operating margin in the fourth quarter were $119.7 million and 12.5%, respectively, compared to $116.1 million and 12.0%, respectively, in the prior year. Adjusted operating earnings and operating margin were $120.3 million and 12.6%, respectively, compared to $115.3 million and 11.9%, respectively, in the prior year.
GAAP net earnings in the fourth quarter were $70.2 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 1.7% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter was $146.6 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 1.8%, compared to the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.3%, an increase of 40 basis points compared to the prior year.
During the fourth quarter, cash flow from operations was $152.5 million, an increase of 30.8% compared to the prior year, driven in part by working capital improvements. Capital expenditures totaled $21.1 million. Operating free cash flow was $131.4 million, an increase of 66.6% compared to the prior year.
The Company used cash to reduce its debt levels by $445 million, including paying off its outstanding balance on its revolving line of credit of $375 million, the entire FILO loan balance of $20 million, and $50 million of the fixed portion of its Term Loan B. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the quarter. In addition, the Company also completed a small acquisition in Quebec, Canada, which added 10 stores, 17 direct sales consultants and exclusive distribution rights to premier professional hair color and hair care brands such as Wella Professional, Goldwell and Oribé.
At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had $514 million in cash on the balance sheet and a zero balance on its $600 million revolving line of credit. Generally, the Company ended the quarter with a leverage ratio of 2.88x, reflecting our significant cash balance. For comparison purposes, the leverage ratio, as defined in our loan agreements, where the impact of cash on-hand is capped at $100 million for net debt calculation purposes, was 3.79x.

Fiscal 2020 Full-Year Financial Highlights
For the full fiscal year, consolidated same store sales decreased by 8.1%.

Global e-commerce sales grew by 103% compared to the prior year.
Full-year gross margin was 48.8%, a decrease of 50 basis points compared to the prior year. The primary drivers for the decline were from the non-cash write down of inventory of $27.1 million that occurred in the third quarter and lower vendor allowances from fewer promotions and reduced inventory purchases, which were mostly offset by the benefits of fewer promotions and the favorable mix shift to higher margin categories.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 41.1% compared to 37.5% in the prior year, driven primarily by the significant deleveraging from lost sales related to COVID-19.

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 most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and our Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of July 30, 2020, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 Diluted Net Earnings Per Share; and (4) 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, costs related to COVID-19, costs related to the non-cash write down of inventory related to slow moving SKUs and impairment costs related to long-lived assets not included in restructuring 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 costs 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 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 costs 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
