Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2007 Results

 

                  Sally Beauty Holdings Successfully Completes 1st Year as an Independent, Public Company

                  FY07 Consolidated Sales Increased 5.9% and Comparable Store Sales Up 4.5%

                  FY07 Net Earnings of $44 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $310 million

                  For the Year, Sally Beauty Supply Segment Revenues Up 10.4% and Earnings Expanded 16.1%

                  Beauty Systems Group Executes Well After Challenges, Gains New Brands and Territories

 

DENTON, Texas, November 29, 2007 — Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SBH) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.  The Company will hold a conference call today at 10:00 a.m. (Central) to discuss these results and its business.

 

“We have successfully completed our first year as an independent, public company,” stated Gary Winterhalter, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Total consolidated net sales for fiscal year 2007 were $2.5 billion, an increase of 5.9%, with comparable store sales increasing 4.5%. I am very pleased with our operating and financial results for the year, particularly in light of the challenges we faced.  Sally Beauty Supply continued to increase its store count and profitability in the retail segment of the beauty supply industry, while Beauty Systems Group successfully executed its business plan of transitioning revenue and supplier sources through significant changes in the professional beauty products distribution business. As a result of these efforts, I believe we are well-positioned for strong results in fiscal 2008.  During the next 12 months, we will be focused on unit expansion at Sally Beauty Supply, improving operating margins in our Sally International business, and returning Beauty Systems Group to historical levels of profitability.”

 

For the fiscal year, Sally Beauty Supply segment revenues increased 10.4% and segment earnings grew by 16.1% versus last year.  Sally Beauty Supply sales increased primarily due to a 5.2% increase based on acquisition-related revenue, comparable store sales increases of 2.7%, and growth in the store base through net new openings. The total store count increased 7.3% in fiscal year 2007 and acquired stores represented 4.0% of this increase.  In fiscal 2007, Sally Beauty Supply operating earnings as a percentage of sales grew to 17.4% from 16.6% of sales in fiscal 2006.

 

Beauty Systems Group’s (BSG) sales and earnings results for fiscal 2007 reflect the loss of certain L’Oreal revenues during the 8-month period from February 1st through September 30, 2007.  BSG revenues declined $7.4 million for fiscal year 2007, much less than the revenue lost from the L’Oreal sales.  BSG sales in fiscal 2007 were impacted positively by acquisition revenue of $21.4 million, an

increase in sales of non-L’Oreal brands and the addition of 46 BSG stores.  BSG’s comparable store sales increased 10.1% for fiscal 2007, demonstrating the Company’s ability to increase sales of non-L’Oreal brands to BSG’s nationwide customer base.

 

 

OPERATING RESULTS

Sally Beauty Supply

During the Company’s fourth quarter that ended September 30, 2007, Sally Beauty Supply’s total sales were $410.7 million, an increase of 14.3% from the year-ago period.  Sally Beauty Supply revenues were positively impacted by acquisition-related revenue that contributed growth of 9.6% as well as comparable store sales gains of 2.4%.  Revenues of $34.6 million in the quarter related to the U.K. acquisition of Salon Services completed earlier in the fiscal year.  Sally Beauty Supply segment operating margins increased to 17.4% of sales from 15.5% in the year-ago fourth quarter.

 

During the fourth quarter, Sally Beauty Supply increased its store base by 18 net new stores, including two Marlo Beauty Supply stores acquired and converted to Sally Beauty Supply stores in the Detroit metropolitan area.  The Company ended the fiscal year with 2,694 Sally Beauty Supply stores, an increase of 7.3% or 183 net new stores over the prior year.  Of the 7.3% store count increase, acquired stores accounted for 4.0% and organic growth accounted for 3.3%.

 

For fiscal 2007, other key metrics in the Sally Beauty Supply segment include the following.  For the worldwide Sally Beauty Supply segment, sales in the U.S. and Canada represented 84% of segment revenues; and the international sales, primarily in the U.K., represented 16% of segment revenues.  Also in fiscal 2007, the Sally Beauty Supply exclusive label U.S. revenues grew to approximately 40% of U.S. segment sales compared to approximately 36% of U.S. segment sales in fiscal 2006.  The significant increase of exclusive label revenues during fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the introduction of products in new categories. The customer mix between retail and professional for Sally Beauty Supply U.S. sales for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 was 70% retail customer and 30% professional customer, versus 69% retail and 31% professional, respectively, in the prior year.

 

 

Beauty Systems Group

During the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, BSG sales declined $17.7 million, or 7.2%, impacted by the loss of approximately $30 million in L’Oreal revenue.  BSG’s revenues declined considerably less than the lost L’Oreal revenue primarily due to BSG’s strong fourth quarter comparable store sales increase of 10.1%.  BSG’s execution of new brand distribution and expansion of territories of existing brands contributed to higher comparable store sales.  BSG revenues for fiscal year 2007 reflect significant contractual changes with L’Oreal following the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and total revenues included approximately $230 million of L’Oreal product sales, or 24% of total BSG sales, compared to approximately 33%, in fiscal 2006.  BSG increased its store base by 14 net new stores during the fourth quarter.  For fiscal 2007, BSG added 46 net new stores for a 5.6% increase, ending with 874 stores, including 175 franchise locations.

BSG Revenue Updates

                  During the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, BSG’s comparable store sales growth remained strong at 10.1%, despite a strong 7.4% increase in comparable store sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The strength in fiscal 2007 store sales was primarily the result of continued growth of new brands and new or expanded distribution territories for non-L’Oreal brands.  L’Oreal-related revenue in domestic BSG stores (i.e., not including our franchise and Canadian BSG businesses and Sally Beauty Supply) during the fourth quarter was slightly below that of prior-year levels.

                  As part of the previously-announced changes with L’Oreal, BSG has retained the rights to distribute L’Oreal products, on a non-exclusive basis, in its stores for which it previously had exclusive distribution rights. BSG’s loss of distribution rights through its Distributor Sales Consultants (DSCs), as well as the loss of exclusive rights to distribute L’Oreal products in its stores, has resulted in margin pressure on its remaining L’Oreal revenues, and this pressure is currently projected to continue during fiscal 2008.

                  During the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, we acquired certain assets and distribution rights from two distributors of Goldwell/KMS products.  We believe that this development should have a positive impact to BSG’s fiscal 2008 results.

                  During the fourth quarter, we acquired certain assets from C.B. Sullivan of Texas and were awarded distribution rights for Paul Mitchell products throughout North Texas.

                  Due to L’Oreal’s announcement of the acquisition of Maly’s West, BSG began distributing Henkel’s Schwarzkopf brands in BSG stores and the DSC channel in 4 western states, including California, during the fourth quarter.

                  Also during the fourth quarter, BSG began the distribution of:

                  P&G Professional Care Wella, Sebastian and Graham Webb brands in BSG stores in 1 state;

                  Shiseido’s JOICO and ISO brands in BSG stores and the DSC channel in 4 states; and

                  TIGI brands in BSG stores in 5 states.

 

BSG Cost Updates

                  The Company continued to pay retention incentives to the portion of BSG’s sales force most impacted by the L’Oreal changes during the fourth quarter of 2007, which resulted in $1.9 million of expenses during the quarter.

                  The Company substantially completed its CosmoProf store re-branding project in fiscal 2007, and capital costs for this project totaled approximately $4 million.

                  Additionally, the Company’s two-year program to consolidate warehouses and reduce administrative expenses is underway.  During 2007, the Company spent approximately $4.9 million on this program. This program is estimated to cost $19 million of capital costs during fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008, in addition to one-time costs associated with closing certain existing distribution facilities.  The Company believes the annual savings could be approximately $10 million within the next two years.

 

FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net sales:  Total consolidated sales for the fourth quarter 2007 were $639.7 million, an increase of 5.5% over the year-ago period, and comparable store sales increased 4.3%.  For fiscal 2007, total consolidated sales were $2.5 billion, an increase of 5.9% over fiscal 2006, and comparable store sales increased 4.5%.

Fourth quarter sales for Sally Beauty Supply stores increased 14.3% to $410.7 million.  These revenues were positively impacted by the Salon Services acquisition in the U.K. completed earlier in the year, which contributed $34.6 million of revenue in the fourth quarter.  Comparable store sales increased 2.4% and Sally Beauty Supply had 183 more stores (including 100 net acquired stores) at the end of FY 2007 than on September 30, 2006.  Fiscal 2007 revenues for Sally Beauty Supply increased to $1.57 billion, a 10.4% increase over the prior year, primarily due to a 5.2% increase from acquisition-related revenue as well as a 2.7% increase from comparable store sales.

BSG sales for fiscal 2007 fourth quarter were $229.1 million, a decline of $17.7 million, despite strong comparable store sales growth of 10.1% versus the year-ago quarter. These revenues were impacted by the loss of approximately $30 million of DSC sales of L’Oreal products versus prior year.  Despite the loss of L’Oreal sales through DSCs, total fiscal 2007 revenues declined only $7.4 million, due to $21.4 million of Salon Success acquisition revenue, increased revenue from new brands and new exclusive distribution territories for both DSCs and stores, and 46 net new stores.

 

Gross profit:  For the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, consolidated gross profit was $295.4 million, and gross margins as a percentage of sales increased to 46.2% from 45.1% in the year-ago quarter. Gross margins at Sally Beauty Supply were positively impacted by a continued increase in sales of exclusive label products, margin increases on certain products, and a favorable customer mix shift.  The improvements were partially offset by the margin impact of adding the Sally international acquisition revenues and continued BSG margin pressure from the replacement of L’Oreal product sales with lower margins.  BSG’s loss of store exclusivity in the distribution of L’Oreal products is anticipated to continue to result in sustained margin pressure on all L’Oreal products sold through our store network.  For fiscal 2007, consolidated gross profit was $1.15 billion, and gross margins as a percentage of sales were 45.9%, an improvement from 45.8% in the prior year.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses:  For the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, SG&A expenses were $210.4 million or 32.9% of sales, an improvement versus $202.9 million or 33.5% of sales in the year-ago period. SG&A costs for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 included $1.9 million related to BSG’s retention incentives for DSCs due to the L’Oreal contractual changes this year.  SG&A expenses for the 2007 fourth quarter also included $3.0 million of share-based compensation expense, compared to $1.1 million in last year’s fourth quarter.  Selling, general and administrative expenses include unallocated corporate expenses as detailed in the Company’s segment information on Schedule B.  For fiscal 2007, SG&A expenses were $857.3 million, or 34.1% of sales, versus 33.6% for the prior year.  Fiscal year 2007 SG&A included a total of $8.6 million for BSG retention incentives for DSCs and right-sizing expenses, as well as $1.0 million of consulting fees as reported in the first fiscal quarter.  Full year unallocated corporate expenses for fiscal 2007 were $84.2 million and included $13.1 million of share-based compensation expense, of which $5.3 million related to early vesting of equity awards from our separation from Alberto-Culver and $2.6 million related to certain retirement-eligible employees.  In addition, fiscal 2007 unallocated corporate expenses included $1 million of direct overhead charges from Alberto-Culver for the period prior to the separation.  For fiscal year 2008, the Company currently expects unallocated corporate expenses to be approximately $80 to $85 million, including estimated share-based compensation expense of approximately $8 million.

Segment operating earnings:  Fiscal 2007 fourth quarter operating earnings for Sally Beauty Supply stores were $71.5 million, an increase of $15.8 million or 28.3% compared to last year’s fourth quarter.  For fiscal year 2007, Sally Beauty Supply operating earnings were $273.4 million, or 17.4% of sales, compared to $235.4 million, or 16.6% of sales, in fiscal 2006.  The improvement in the Sally Beauty Supply fourth quarter fiscal 2007 financial results was primarily due to growth in the number of stores, successful sales growth of higher-margin products, gross margin improvements on certain products, and sales growth in certain merchandise categories and customer type. In addition, the fourth quarter results for 2007 include revenues and earnings from the Salon Services acquisition in the U.K.  This acquisition has a part of its business that is somewhat seasonal in nature and the fourth quarter is ordinarily its strongest period.  The Company currently expects Sally Beauty Supply financial results in fiscal 2008 to continue to benefit from store unit growth, margin improvements at its U.S. business, and improving the profitability of the Sally Beauty Supply international business as we integrate the acquisition made during fiscal 2007.

 

BSG’s operating earnings for the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter were $16.5 million, a decrease of $2.7 million or 14.1% from the year-ago quarter.  These declines were primarily due to a continuation of issues disclosed earlier in fiscal 2007 including 1) the loss of L’Oreal sales through DSCs related to distribution agreement changes, which was partially offset by revenue growth in non-L’Oreal sales, 2) lower gross profit margins on non-exclusive L’Oreal products sold, 3) a decline in the profitability of its franchise business, and 4) BSG retention incentives paid to DSCs. For fiscal year 2007, BSG operating earnings were $64.7 million, a decline of $23.8 million, primarily due to significant contractual changes with L’Oreal that reduced BSG revenues, pressured gross profit margins and increased expenses for DSC incentives and infrastructure right-sizing as discussed above.  The Company currently expects BSG’s financial results to remain at or below prior year levels until the anniversary of the lost L’Oreal business in fiscal 2008.  Looking beyond that, the Company currently expects BSG’s comparable store sales growth to moderate and segment operating margins to return toward historical levels during the second half of fiscal 2008, setting aside the impact of any costs associated with our 2-year program to consolidate BSG warehouses.

 

Interest Expense: Interest expense, net of interest income, for the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter was $47.1 million and includes approximately $6.3 million of expense due to the marked-to-market change in fair value for interest rate swap transactions discussed below.  For the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, interest expense, net of interest income was $146.0 million, including $3.0 million of expense due to marked-to-market changes in fair value for the interest rate swaps.

 

Provision for income taxes:  For the fourth quarter, income taxes were $9.0 million. On an annual basis and excluding the non-deductible transaction costs related to the Company’s separation from the Alberto-Culver Company, the Company’s effective tax rate was 39.2% for fiscal year 2007.

 

Net earnings and Net earnings per share (EPS):  For fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, reported net earnings were $16.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.  Net earnings for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 were $44.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. The Company separated from the Alberto-Culver Company on November 16, 2006, and consequently, prior year GAAP net earnings are not reflective of the change in capital structure that resulted from that separation.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP):  Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2007 was $88.0 million, a $16.2 million increase, compared to $71.8 million in the comparable period last year.  Adjusted EBITDA increased during the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of continued growth in profitability at Sally Beauty Supply due to unit expansion, margin improvements and the acquisition discussed above.  This improvement was partially offset by a decline in BSG’s profitability as previously discussed. A detailed table reconciling GAAP net earnings to adjusted EBITDA is included in the supplemental schedules.  Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2007 was $309.5 million compared to $293.7 million for fiscal 2006.

 

Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net EPS (Non-GAAP):  For the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, adjusted net earnings reflect adjustments that exclude share-based compensation, transaction expenses related to the separation and the Alberto-Culver Company sales-based corporate overhead fees for the period prior to the separation, and include incremental interest expense assuming that the debt incurred at the separation date was outstanding from the beginning of the first quarter, as well as related income tax expense adjustments.  Adjusted net earnings (non-GAAP) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 were $57.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. A detailed table reconciling GAAP net earnings to adjusted net earnings and adjusted EPS is included in the supplemental schedules.

 

Financial Position, Capital Expenditures and Working Capital:  Cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal 2007 totaled $38.3 million.  The Company’s revolving asset-based loan facility (ABL) began the quarter at $39.7 million of outstanding borrowings and ended fiscal year 2007 at $11.4 million.  Additional borrowing capacity on the ABL was approximately $335 million at the end of fiscal 2007.  In addition, the Company paid down $1.9 million of its Senior Term A Loan and $2.3 million of its Senior Term B Loan during the 2007 fourth quarter.

 

The Company’s debt, excluding capital leases, decreased by $32.5 million during the 2007 fourth quarter and as of September 30, 2007, was $1.77 billion.  As a reminder, in conjunction with the separation transaction from the Alberto-Culver Company and the issuance of new debt, the Company entered into two separate interest rate swap transactions in November 2006 that are intended to fix the interest rate applicable to $150 million of debt until November 2008 and to fix the interest rate applicable to $350 million of debt until November of 2009.  The Company is accounting for these transactions on a marked-to-market basis, whereby changes in the fair value will increase or decrease net interest expense and therefore affect our profitability.  For fiscal year 2007 interest expense, net of interest income, includes a net total of $3.0 million of non-cash expense for the marked-to-market changes.  During 2007, the Company recognized $1.0 million of non-cash interest income for the first quarter, $1.7 million of additional non-cash interest expense for the second quarter, $4.0 million of non-cash interest income for the third quarter and $6.3 million of non-cash interest expense related to the interest rate swaps in the fourth quarter.

 

Net cash used by investing activities for fiscal year 2007 was $121.4 million and includes $76.4 million for acquisitions, net of cash acquired.  The Company’s fiscal year 2007 capital expenditures (net of proceeds from sale of property and equipment) totaled $45.0 million, excluding acquisitions.  Fiscal year 2008 capital expenditures are currently projected to be approximately $60 million, excluding any potential acquisitions.

Inventories as of fiscal year end 2007 were $569.4 million, down $5.6 million from $575.0 million in the year-ago period.  Excluding all acquisition-related inventories for the two business segments, inventories declined approximately $40 million in fiscal 2007.
