What Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. does

In the company’s own words

Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBH) operates as a leading international specialty retailer and distributor of professional beauty supplies through two primary business segments. The company maintains a website at www.sallybeautyholdings.com.

Sally Beauty, the retail segment, functions as an omni-channel retailer offering professional-quality beauty supplies at attractive prices to retail consumers and salon professionals across North America, South America, and Europe. This segment operates through retail stores primarily under the Sally Beauty banner, along with digital platforms including www.sallybeauty.com, mobile commerce applications, and third-party digital marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart.com, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart. Beauty Systems Group, the distribution segment, serves as a full-service omni-channel distributor exclusively serving salons and licensed beauty professionals throughout the United States and Canada, operating under the Cosmo Prof banner through company-operated stores, franchised locations, salon business consultants, and digital platforms.

The company operates approximately 3,096 Sally Beauty stores and 1,326 Beauty Systems Group locations globally, serving more than 15 million active customers in the United States and Canada. Sally Beauty employs approximately 27,000 global associates, including approximately 11,000 full-time employees. Hair color and care products comprise approximately 70 percent of consolidated sales across both segments, supplemented by offerings in styling tools, nails, skin care, and cosmetics.

Sally Beauty maintains a differentiated competitive position through extensive expertise in professional hair color and care, supported by owned brands including Ion, Salon Care, Beauty Secrets, Bondbar, and Inspired by Nature. Sally-owned brand sales represent approximately 35 percent of total Sally segment sales. The company's five largest suppliers, including Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, L'Oreal USA, Wella Company, John Paul Mitchell Systems, and Kao Corporation, account for approximately 48 percent of consolidated merchandise purchases.

The company's strategic initiatives focus on strengthening core hair color and care categories while capturing growth opportunities in adjacent categories, enhancing digital capabilities through omni-channel expansion, optimizing operational efficiency through the Fuel for Growth program, and implementing the Sally Ignited store refresh initiative designed to modernize the retail experience and drive customer engagement across discovery and community-building experiences.
