#### Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

**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 SEC. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, 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, 2022. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, and our consolidated results of operations, consolidated comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

#### Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all accounts of Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts are 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 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 information available, however are subject to change in the future. Significant estimates and assumptions are part of our accounting for sales allowances, deferred revenue, valuation of inventory, amortization and depreciation, intangibles and goodwill, and other reserves. We believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, they are based on management's current knowledge of events and actions, and changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and impact actual results.

------

**2.** **Revenue Recognition** 

Substantially all of our revenue is derived through the sale of merchandise at the point-of-sale. Revenue is recognized net of estimated sales returns and sales taxes. 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, for the periods were as follows (in thousands):

---

|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended December 31,** | **Three Months Ended December 31,** |
|  | **2022** | **2021** |
| Beginning Balance | $13460 | $16744 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Loyalty points and gift cards issued but not redeemed, net of estimated breakage | 6291 | 5842 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Revenue recognized from beginning liability | (4489) | (3509) |
| Ending Balance | $15262 | $19077 |

---

See Note 10, *Segment Reporting*, for additional information regarding the disaggregation of our sales revenue.

**3.** **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 to 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 follow:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in thousands)** | **Classification** | **Fair Value Hierarchy Level** | **December 31,**<br> **2022** | **September 30,**<br> **2022** |
| **Financial Assets:** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Foreign exchange contracts |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Non-designated cash flow hedges | Other current assets | Level 2 | $4463 | $294 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Interest rate caps | Other current assets | Level 2 | 3627 | 3860 |
| Total assets |  |  | $8090 | $4154 |
| . |  |  |  |  |
| **Financial Liabilities:** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Foreign exchange contracts |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Designated cash flow hedges | Accrued liabilities | Level 2 | $1930 | $— |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Non-designated cash flow hedges | Accrued liabilities | Level 2 | 4045 | 79 |
| Total liabilities |  |  | $5975 | $79 |

---

The fair value for interest rate caps and foreign exchange contracts were measured using widely accepted valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses and observable inputs, such as market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

------

*Other fair value disclosures*

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable and accounts payable and borrowing under our ABL facility approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair value of our long-term debt, excluding capital lease obligations and debt issuance costs, are as follows:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  |  | **December 31, 2022** | **December 31, 2022** | **September 30, 2022** | **September 30, 2022** |
| **(in thousands)** | **Fair Value Hierarchy Level** | **Carrying Value** | **Fair Value** | **Carrying Value** | **Fair Value** |
| Long-term debt, excluding capital leases |  |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Senior notes | Level 1 | $679961 | $652763 | $679961 | $639163 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Term loan B | Level 2 | 406125 | 403587 | 407500 | 398331 |
| Total long-term debt |  | $1086086 | $1056350 | $1087461 | $1037494 |

---

The fair value of term loan B was measured using quoted market prices for similar debt securities in active markets or widely accepted valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, using observable inputs, such as market interest rates.

**4.** **Stockholders' Equity** 

*Share Repurchases*

In August 2017, our Board of Directors ("Board") approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its common stock, subject to certain limitations governed by our debt agreements. In July 2021, our Board approved a term extension of the share repurchase program for the four-year period ending September 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2022, we had authorization of approximately $595.8 million of additional potential share repurchases remaining under our share repurchase program. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, we did not repurchase shares under our share repurchase program. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, we repurchased 3.7 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $75.0 million.

*Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)*

The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") was as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments** | **Interest Rate Caps** | **Foreign Exchange Contracts** | **Total** |
| Balance at September 30, 2022 | $(153128) | $1960 | $(679) | $(151847) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Other comprehensive income (loss) before<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reclassification, net of tax | 25941 | 155 | (608) | 25488 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reclassification to net earnings, net of tax |  | 48 | (302) | (254) |
| Balance at December 31, 2022 | $(127187) | $2163 | $(1589) | $(126613) |

---

The tax impact for the changes in other comprehensive loss and the reclassifications to net earnings was not material.

**5.** **Weighted-Average Shares** 

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted-average shares (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended**<br> **December 31,** | **Three Months Ended**<br> **December 31,** |

| Weighted-average diluted shares | 109460 | 113968 |
| Anti-dilutive options excluded from our computation of diluted shares | 2123 | 2775 |

---

**6.** **Goodwill and Intangible Assets** 

We considered potential triggering events and determined there were none for the three months ended December 31, 2022. No material impairment losses were recognized in the current or prior periods presented in connection with our goodwill and other intangible assets.

| Intangible assets amortization expense | $1008 | $1071 |

---

Additionally, during the three months ended December 31, 2022, the changes in goodwill and other intangibles were primarily from the effects of foreign currency exchange rates of $6.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the changes in goodwill were primarily from the effects of foreign currency exchange rates of $0.9 million.

**7.** **Accrued Liabilities** 

Accrued liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **December 31,**<br> **2022** | **September 30,**<br> **2022** |
| Compensation and benefits | $46027 | $58693 |

**8.** **Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt** 

At December 31, 2022, our ABL facility had $65.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $417.7 million available for borrowing, including the Canadian sub-facility, subject to the conditions contained therein.

**9.** **Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities** 

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we did not purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 3, *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 December 31, 2022, we held forwards, which expire ratably through September 30, 2023, with a notional amount, based upon exchange rates at December 31, 2022, as follows (in thousands):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Notional Currency** | **Notional Amount** |
| Mexican Peso | $17629 |
| Euro | 11549 |
| Canadian Dollar | 8921 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total | $38099 |

---

Quarterly, the changes in fair value related to these foreign currency forwards are recorded into AOCL. As the forwards are exercised, the realized value is recognized into cost of goods sold, based on inventory turns, in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a gain of $0.3 million and a loss of $0.3 million, respectively. Based on December 31, 2022, valuations and exchange rates, we expect to reclassify losses of approximately $1.6 million into cost of goods sold over the next 12 months.

*Interest Rate Caps*

In July 2017, we purchased two interest rate caps with an initial aggregate notional amount of $550 million (the "interest rate caps") to mitigate the exposure to higher interest rates in connection with our term loan B. The interest rate caps are comprised of individual caplets that expire ratably through June 30, 2023, and are designated as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the interest rate caps are recorded quarterly, net of income tax, and are included in AOCL.

For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized expense of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, into interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify gains of

------

approximately $2.6 million into interest expense, which represents estimated interest rate settlements less the original value of the expiring caplets.

#### Non-Designated Derivative Instruments
We also use foreign exchange contracts to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate changes in connection with certain intercompany balances not permanently invested. At December 31, 2022, we held forwards, which expire on various dates in the first month of both the second and third fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2023, with a notional amount, based upon exchange rates at December 31, 2022, as follows (in thousands):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Notional Currency** | **Notional Amount** |
| British Pound | $87321 |
| Canadian Dollar | 56329 |
| Euro | 56269 |
| Mexican Peso | 23865 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total | $223784 |

---

We record changes in fair value and realized gains or losses related to these foreign currency forwards into selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the effects of these foreign exchange contracts on our condensed consolidated financial statements were gains of $0.4 million in both years.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total Restructuring Expenses | $7726 | $1099 |

---

(a) Amounts included within COGS are related to adjustments to our expected obsolescence reserve related to the Plan (as defined below).

(b) Amounts included within Restructuring (SG&A) are related to stores and distribution centers closed during the quarter in accordance with the Plan (as defined below).

#### Distribution Center Consolidation and Store Optimization Plan
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, our Board approved the Distribution Center Consolidation and Store Optimization Plan authorizing the closure of 330 SBS stores and 35 BSG stores, and the closure of two BSG distribution centers in Clackamas, Oregon and Pottsville, Pennsylvania ("the Plan").

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we completed the closure of the two BSG distributions centers. We believe that consolidating the operation of these two distribution centers into our larger distribution centers will increase product availability, shorten delivery times and reduce overall costs.

------

As of December 31, 2022, we have closed 327 SBS stores and 14 BSG stores as part of the Plan.

Stores identified for early closure were part of a strategic evaluation which included a market analysis of certain locations where we believe we will be able to recapture demand at other nearby store locations and improve overall profitability. By optimizing our store base, we are further focusing on our customers' shopping experience and our product offerings.

The Plan will continue to be executed throughout fiscal year 2023 and into the first half of fiscal year 2024, and therefore it may include future charges related to store closures such as exit costs, lease negotiation penalties, termination benefits and adjustments to estimates.

The liability related to the Plan, which is included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, is as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

---

(a) Lease-related closing costs include contract terminations costs as well as other rental obligations associated with closing stores.

(b) Payroll-related closing costs include one-time termination benefits related to the closure of our distribution centers as well as other payroll expenses associated with closing stores.

(c) Remaining carrying value for the long-lived assets, including operating lease assets, were not material and approximate their fair value.

#### Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This section discusses management's view of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Sally Beauty. This section should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, including the Risk Factors sections therein, and information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes to those financial statements.

#### Executive Overview
For fiscal 2023, we are focusing on three key strategic initiatives to drive growth and profitability:

• Enhancing our customer centricity;

• Growing high margin owned brands at Sally Beauty and amplifying innovation; and

• Increasing the efficiency of our operations and optimizing our capabilities.

We believe focusing in these areas will position our company for future growth and further enhance our ability to meet our customers where they are.

#### Enhancing our customer centricity
During the quarter, BSG launched a new strategic partnership with Salon HQ. Salon HQ is a customizable digital storefront platform that gives stylists the ability to curate a product selection from thousands of BSG merchandise choices and enables their clients to purchase directly from their shops without the stylists having to finance and carry inventory. In addition, SBS has identified the locations for its initial Studio by Sally pilot stores that we expect to open this fiscal year. The Studio by Sally pilot store program will have a digital-first focus, from digital check-in to digital education throughout the store and beyond, including personalized appointments at our in-store salons with licensed stylists who will train and educate consumers on how to color their own hair and achieve their desired results. We believe that we will be able to expand the Studio by Sally concept to 100 locations throughout the U.S. over the next three to four fiscal years if successful.

#### Growing high margin owned brands at Sally Beauty and amplifying innovation
We believe growing our SBS owned-brands, through innovation and marketing, will provide improved margins, strengthen our long-term relationships with existing customers and help attract new customers. During the quarter, we invested more into marketing of our owned-brands and launched the first phase of our new owned-branded hair repair product line – bondbar. These initiatives delivered an increase in our owned-brands sales penetration, resulting in increased SBS profit margins.

Furthermore, we look forward to providing salons and stylists with new innovations from our BSG vendors as they are launched over the next two fiscal quarters.

#### Increasing the efficiency of our operations and optimizing our capabilities
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we announced our plan to close 330 SBS stores, 35 BSG stores and two BSG distribution centers. Based on our strategic evaluation, we believe that we will able to recapture demand of closed stores in other nearby store locations and improve overall profitability. During the quarter, we completed the closure of our two BSG distributions centers and the majority of our planned store closures. Additionally, we re-optimized our store supply chain network based on our new store fleet. As of December 31, 2022, we have closed 327 SBS stores and 14 BSG stores as part of the Plan and are currently meeting our sales recapture expectations.

See Note 11, *Restructuring*, in Item 1 of this quarterly report for more information on the Plan.

#### Financial Summary for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2022
• Consolidated net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022, decreased $23.2 million, or 2.4%, to $957.1 million, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. Consolidated net sales included a negative impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $14.4 million;

• Consolidated comparable sales increased 1.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021;

• Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2022, decreased $11.6 million, or 2.3%, to $488.6 million, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. Gross margin was unchanged at 51.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021;

------

• Consolidated operating earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2022 , decreased $26.2 million , or 23.2% , to $86.6 million , compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021 . Operating margin decreased 250 bps to 9.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 , compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021 ;

• For the three months ended December 31, 2022, our consolidated net earnings decreased $18.5 million, or 26.9%, to $50.3 million, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021;

• For the three months ended December 31, 2022, our diluted earnings per share was $0.46 compared to $0.60 for the three months ended December 31, 2021; and

• Cash provided by operations was $55.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to cash used by operations of $5.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

#### Trends Impacting Our Business
Global inflationary pressures continue to influence consumer and stylist behavior along with the cost for products and services. In the U.S. and Canada, we are seeing our SBS customers color their hair less frequently and reduce the size of their basket when they shop with us, while at BSG we are seeing stylists purchasing closer to the time they use products. Additionally, inflationary pressures have impacted wages, especially among retail and hourly employees, as we have experienced an increase in our labor costs in order to attract and retain associates. During the current quarter, these headwinds have resulted in lower traffic and conversion in our business and increases in certain operating costs. We continue to monitor these challenges and implement measures to help mitigate their impacts, including managing our inventory levels to reduce out-of-stock items, adjusting our promotional activities, optimizing our store base and expanding our partnerships with delivery service providers. Although these initiatives have helped mitigate ongoing macro-headwinds, we cannot reasonably predict the long-term effects of inflation.

Furthermore, in a measure to curb inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve has increased the federal funds effective rate. In turn, these increases have raised the cost of debt borrowings. We currently have $471.1 million in variable rate debt outstanding, of which $406.1 million is hedged with interest rate caps to help mitigate the impact of raising rates. Future increases in the federal funds effective rate could have a material adverse impact to our cost of borrowing, including any future changes in our debt structure.

#### Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
While we have seen signs of stabilization from the impacts of the COVID-19 virus, we cannot reasonably predict the effects of new variants or expect improving trends to continue. Therefore, our future performance may partially depend on impacts of COVID-19, such as decreased customer in-store traffic, temporary store closures, and labor and supply chain disruptions.

#### Comparable Sales
We believe that comparable sales is an appropriate performance indicator to measure our sales growth compared to the prior period. Our comparable sales include sales from stores that have been operating for 14 months or longer as of the last day of a month and e-commerce revenue. Additionally, comparable sales include sales to franchisees and full service sales. Our comparable sales excludes the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates and sales from stores relocated until 14 months after the relocation. Revenue from acquisitions are excluded from our comparable sales calculation until 14 months after the acquisition. Our calculation of comparable sales might not be the same as other retailers as the calculation varies across the retail industry.

(a) Unallocated expenses consist of corporate and shared costs and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

(b) Our December 31, 2022 store count was impacted by the closure of 327 SBS store and 14 BSG store from the Plan. See Note 11, *Restructuring*, in Item 1 of this quarterly report for more information on the Plan.

#### Results of Operations

#### The Three Months Ended December 31, 2022, compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021

#### Net Sales
*<u>SBS</u><u>.</u> The decrease in net sales for SBS was primarily driven by the following (in thousands):* 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Comparable sales | $15954 |
| Sales outside comparable sales <sup>(a)</sup> | (16220) |
| Foreign currency exchange | (11792) |
| Total | $(12058) |

---

(a) Includes stores opened for less than 14 months, net of stores closures, including stores closed under the Plan

The decrease in SBS's net sales was driven by the negative impact from foreign exchange rates and the impact of store closures in the prior twelve months, including stores closed under the Plan, partially offset by an increase in our comparable sales. SBS's comparable sales increase was driven by a growth in average ticket, primarily from inflationary impacts and pricing leverage, and partially offset by fewer transactions.

*<u>BSG</u><u>.</u> The decrease in net sales for BSG was primarily driven by the following (in thousands):* 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Comparable sales | $(6109) |
| Sales outside comparable sales <sup>(a)</sup> | (2396) |
| Foreign currency exchange | (2633) |
| Total | $(11138) |

---

(a) Includes stores opened for less than 14 months, net of stores closures, including from the Plan

The decrease in BSG's net sales was primarily due to lower comparable sales, the impact of closed stores and the negative impact from the Canadian foreign exchange rate. BSG's comparable sales faced headwinds from elevated demand in the prior year from the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and the impacts of the current economic environment which resulted in fewer transactions, but was partially offset by growth in average ticket.

#### Gross Profit
*<u>SBS</u><u>.</u> SBS's gross profit decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as a result of lower net sales, partially offset by a higher gross margin. SBS's gross margin grew as a result of pricing leverage and increased penetration of our owned-brand products.*

*<u>BSG</u><u>.</u> BSG's gross profit decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as a result of lower net sales and a lower gross margin. BSG's gross margin decline was driven by lower product margin resulting from an unfavorable sales channel mix between stores and lower-margin Regis e-commerce sales, partially offset by adjustments to our expected obsolescence reserve related to the Plan.* 

#### Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
*<u>SBS</u><u>.</u> SBS's selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 1.4%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and included a favorable impact from foreign exchange rates of $4.6 million. As a percentage of SBS net sales, SG&A for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was 40.8% compared to 40.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase as a percentage of sales was driven by deleveraging as a result of lower net sales.*

*<u>BSG</u><u>.</u> BSG's selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million, or 1.8%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022. As a percentage of BSG net sales, SG&A for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was 28.3% compared to 27.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase as a percentage of sales was driven primarily by deleveraging as a result of lower net sales as well as increases in labor and personnel costs and depreciation expenses.* 

*<u>Unallocated.</u> Unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses, which represent certain corporate costs that have not been charged to our reporting segments, increased $6.5 million, or 14.4%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to increased labor and personnel costs of $4.6 million and information technology expense of $2.9 million.*

#### Restructuring
For the three months ended December 31, 2022, we incurred $10.4 million in restructuring charges related to our Distribution Center Consolidation and Store Optimization Plan. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, restructuring charges in connection with our previously communicated Transformation Plan were immaterial. See Note 11, *Restructuring*, in Item 1 of this quarterly report for more information on the Plan.

------

#### Interest Expense
The decrease in interest expense is due to the interest savings from the repayment of our 8.75% Senior Notes due 2025 during fiscal year 2022, partially offset by higher interest expense on our variable rate debt resulting from the increase in borrowing rates and outstanding amounts under our ABL facility. See Note 9, *Derivatives*, in Item 1 of this quarterly report for more information on our interest rate caps used to help mitigate raising interest rates.

#### Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rates were 26.7% and 25.6%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the tax impact of share-based compensation which was detrimental in the current year quarter, but beneficial in the prior year quarter.

#### Liquidity and Capital Resources

#### Overview
Our principal sources of liquidity are from cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations and our ABL facility. A substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from funding the costs of our operations, working capital, capital expenditures, debt interest and principal payment. Additionally, under our share repurchase program, see below for more details, we will repurchase shares of our common stock on the open market to return value to our shareholders. At December 31, 2022, we had $440.8 million in our liquidity pool, which includes $417.7 million available for borrowings under our ABL facility and cash and cash equivalents of $99.1 million.

Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) increased $77.4 million, to $541.9 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $464.5 million at September 30, 2022. This increase was driven by higher inventory balances, resulting from inflationary cost increases and the impact of foreign exchange rates of $12.7 million, and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

We anticipate that existing cash balances (excluding certain amounts permanently invested in connection with foreign operations), cash expected to be generated by operations, and funds available under our ABL facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements over the next twelve months.

#### Cash Flows

|:---|:---|:---|

| **(in thousands)** | **2022** | **2021** |

---

*Net Cash Provided (Used) by Operating Activities*

The change in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the net cash used by operating activities three months ended December 31, 2021, was driven by the timing of inventory purchases, primarily from the impact of global supply chain issues in the prior year. Additionally, it was driven by the timing of income taxes and a decrease in net sales.

*Net Cash Used by Investing Activities*

The decrease in net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, was driven by fewer capital expenditures related to store improvements and information technology.

*Net Cash Used by Financing Activities*

The decrease in net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, was a result of share repurchases in the prior year and lower cash proceeds from employees exercising equity awards.

#### Debt and Guarantor Financial Information
At December 31, 2022, we had $1,151.1 million in debt, not including capital leases, unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, in the aggregate, of $3.7 million. Our debt consists of $680.0 million in 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 ("2025 Senior Notes") outstanding, $406.1 million remaining on our term loan and $65.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our ABL facility.

We utilize our ABL facility for the issuance of letters of credit, certain working capital and liquidity needs, and to manage normal fluctuations in our operational cash flow. In that regard, we may from time to time draw funds under the ABL facility for general corporate purposes including funding of capital expenditures, acquisitions, paying down other debt and share repurchases. Amounts

------

drawn on our ABL facility are generally paid down with cash provided by our operating activities. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the weighted average interest rate on our borrowings under the ABL facility was 5.2%.

We are currently in compliance with the agreements and instruments governing our debt, including our financial covenants.

*Guarantor Financial Information*

Our 2025 Senior Notes were issued by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sally Holdings LLC and Sally Capital Inc. (the "Issuers"). The notes are unsecured debt instruments guaranteed by us and certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (together, the "Guarantors") and have certain restrictions on the ability to pay restrictive payments to Sally Beauty. The guarantees are joint and several, and full and unconditional. Certain other subsidiaries, including our foreign subsidiaries, do not serve as guarantors.

------

#### Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a multinational corporation, we are subject to certain market risks including foreign currency fluctuations, interest rates and government actions. There have been no material changes to our market risks from September 30, 2022. See our disclosures about market risks contained in Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

#### Item 4. Controls and Procedures
*Controls Evaluation and Related CEO and CFO Certifications. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer ("CEO") and principal financial officer ("CFO"), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. The controls evaluation was conducted by our Disclosure Committee, comprised of senior representatives from our finance, accounting, internal audit, and legal departments under the supervision of our CEO and CFO.*

Certifications of our CEO and our CFO, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, are attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report. This "Controls and Procedures" section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

*Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A system of controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Because of the limitations in all such systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Furthermore, the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how unlikely. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective system of controls and procedures, misstatements or omissions due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.*

*Scope of the Controls Evaluation. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of their objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and procedures and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify whether we had any data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, was being undertaken if needed. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Many of the components of our disclosure controls and procedures are also evaluated by our internal audit department, by our legal department and by personnel in our finance organization. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis and to maintain them as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.*

*Conclusions regarding Disclosure Controls. Based on the required evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.*

*Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.*

------

#### PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

#### Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved, from time to time, in various claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of our business in the ordinary course. We carry insurance coverage in such amounts in excess of our self-insured retention as we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and that may or may not cover any or all of our liabilities in respect of these matters. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

We are subject to a number of U.S., federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as the laws and regulations applicable in each foreign country or jurisdiction in which we do business. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, the composition, packaging, labeling and safety of the products we sell, the methods we use to sell these products and the methods we use to import these products. We believe that we are in material compliance with such laws and regulations, although no assurance can be provided that this will remain true going forward.

#### Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors contained in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in such Annual Report. The risks described in such Annual Report and herein are not the only risks facing our company.
