What Else Should You Know About SBH?

Sally Beauty, the premier destination for professional hair color and care, demonstrated continued growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by strong performance across its Sally Beauty Supply (“SBS”) and Beauty Systems Group (“BSG”) business segments. The company achieved positive comparable sales for the third consecutive quarter at SBS and the fifth at BSG.

Digital sales showed remarkable progress, with SBS's e-commerce business growing 18% year over year, supported by partnerships with DoorDash and Instacart. Additionally, the company saw positive customer engagement, with successful reactivation efforts and customer acquisitions contributing to revenue stability.

Operational efficiency also played a key role in the company's expansion, particularly through its Fuel for Growth program, which delivered gross margin improvements of 100 basis points (bps) for SBS and 130 bps for BSG. The company's investment in store refresh initiatives and product innovations, such as the K18 haircare line and expanding partnerships with brands like Moroccanoil and Amika, helped strengthen its market presence.

However, one notable challenge was a 60-bps year-over-year unfavorable impact of foreign exchange headwinds, which affected consolidated net sales. In addition, the shortened holiday shopping period resulted in fewer chair hours for stylists at BSG, limiting service opportunities and product demand.

Macroeconomic factors, including a severe flu season, wildfires in Los Angeles and political uncertainties, contributed to a choppy start to the fiscal second quarter, leading to softer consumer traffic and purchase behaviors.
