DENTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SBH) (“the Company”) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2019. The Company will hold a conference call today at 7:30 a.m. Central Time to discuss these results.

Fiscal 2019 Third Quarter Overview

Consolidated same store sales increased 0.1% in the quarter. Consolidated net sales were $975.2 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 2.1% compared to the prior year, largely driven by 81 fewer stores as compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of approximately 80 basis points on reported sales.

GAAP diluted earnings per share in the third quarter were $0.59 compared to $0.48 in the prior year, an increase of 22.9%, driven primarily by reduced selling, general and administrative expenses and lower restructuring charges as compared to the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding charges related to the Company’s transformation efforts in both years and expenses associated with previously disclosed data security incidents in the prior year, were $0.60 in the third quarter, or flat compared to the prior year.

“We continued to deliver against our transformation plan and objectives in the third quarter,” said Chris Brickman, president and chief executive officer. “We launched innovative and exclusive brands at both Sally and Beauty Systems Group, advanced our digital agenda by completing the launch of Sally Beauty’s new integrated app and introducing sales transaction capabilities on our refreshed BSG app. Our supply chain modernization efforts are accelerating, as we streamlined our distribution node footprint and moved ahead on a new multi-business distribution center that will enable us to further optimize our operations and serve both digital clients and our stores. Additionally, we reduced our debt levels by over $100 million.”

“Looking ahead, we remain focused on taking meaningful actions to position the Company for sustainable growth and value creation, including building on our market leadership and expertise in hair color and care, improving our retail fundamentals, advancing our digital commerce capabilities and continuing to reduce our cost base. While we have work to do, we are confident in both our strategic position and direction,” Brickman concluded.

Update on Transformation Plan

Based on our four key objectives, during the third quarter and so far this quarter, we have:

Playing to Win with Our Customers

• Enhanced our innovation pipeline with the launch of additional exclusive brands within Beauty Systems Group such as Elegance and No Nothing, and the launch of exciting and exclusive brands like My Black is Beautiful and Iroiro within Sally Beauty Supply;
• Increased the color palette for Ion box color/pro color kits to 30 shades in the U.S. and Canada;

Improving Our Retail Fundamentals

• Reached Sally Beauty Rewards Membership of more than 15.3 million active members;
• Completed the testing of our new concept stores in Las Vegas and planned for further expansion for both Sally Beauty Supply and CosmoProf, featuring enhanced technology and improved focus on the customer experience;
• Rolled out the new Oracle-based point-of-sale systems to over 600 stores;
• Tested the fifth module (perpetual inventory) of the JDA merchandising and supply chain platform, which now includes SKU setup, space planning, EDI, demand planning and perpetual inventory;
• Executed the lease for our new multi-business 500,000 square foot distribution center in North Texas, with operations to begin during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020;

Advancing Our Digital Commerce Capabilities

• Launched the Sally Beauty integrated mobile app nationwide, which was downloaded by a younger mix of customers more than 255,000 times in the first few months of availability;
• Launched the first phase of our new order management system which will, when fully implemented, enable ‘buy online, pick up in store’ and ‘ship from store’ digital capabilities to better leverage our inventory positions;

Continue to Drive Costs out of the Business

• Launched a digital work force management solution in stores to optimize and track store labor; and
• Closed and contracted the sale of our Beauty Systems Group distribution node in Marinette, Wisconsin, while consolidating operations elsewhere. This represents the fourth distribution building closure in six months across the network.

As we close out the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, we will continue our transformation efforts by:

• Preparing for the launch of the new Sally Beauty brand campaign nationwide;
• Continuing to build momentum and awareness of successful launches of key brands like Pravana, Maria Nila, My Black is Beautiful and Arctic Fox while adding new, innovative brands to the pipeline;
• Launching our concept stores for Sally Beauty in a second territory, Charlotte, North Carolina, with all new stores and nationwide relocations designed consistent with learnings from Las Vegas;
• Launching the sixth module of the JDA merchandising and supply chain platform, store fulfillment, on a test basis within Beauty Systems Group;
• Continuing our Supply Chain Modernization efforts;
• Accelerating the national rollout of the new Oracle-based point-of-sale systems at both Sally Beauty Supply and Beauty Systems Group, which is on-track to exceed 1,400 stores by the end of the fiscal year; and
• Refreshing Beauty Systems Group’s e-commerce site, including enhanced search and navigation features and a stronger focus on key monthly priorities and promotions.

Fiscal 2019 Third Quarter Financial Detail

Consolidated gross margin for the third quarter was 49.5%, flat compared to the prior year, with increases in the North American business of Sally Beauty Supply offset by continuing margin challenges in Europe and within Beauty Systems Group.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this news release and the schedules hereto which are not purely historical facts or which depend upon future events may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 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, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 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 and costs related to the previously disclosed data security incidents 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 the previously disclosed data security incidents 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 the previously disclosed data security incidents 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.

(1) For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, restructuring represents costs and expenses incurred in connection with the supply chain modernization plan, including a $6.6 million gain from the sale of our secondary headquarters and fulfillment center, and costs and expenses incurred in connection with the 2018 Restructuring Plan. For the nine months ended June 30, 2018, restructuring represents costs and expenses incurred in connection with the 2018 Restructuring Plan.
(2) Charges from data security incidents are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and represent expenses (including assessments by credit card networks, remediation costs, and other costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the prior data security incidents.
(3) For the nine months ended June 30, 2018, interest expense reflects a loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with a repricing of the variable-rate tranche of our term loan B, resulting in a lower effective interest rate.
(4) U.S. tax reform represents the revaluation of deferred income taxes and a deemed repatriation tax on previously undistributed foreign earnings resulting from changes to U.S. federal tax law in December 2017.
(5) The income tax provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, includes a provision in connection with the $6.6 million gain, as described above, however, the realization of tax benefits for a certain portion of the other costs associated with restructuring are currently not deemed probable. The income tax provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2018, was calculated using a 23.2% tax rate for restructuring costs and 29.0% tax rate for other charges.

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.
