Forward Guidance

The Company is maintaining the following guidance for full fiscal year 2023:

Positive Outlook

  • Comparable sales are expected to increase by low single digits compared to the prior year, driven by growth in key categories, sales transfer from store closures, our expanded Regis distribution and new strategic initiatives.

Challenges Ahead

  • Net sales are expected to decline by low-single digits compared to the prior year. This reflects approximately 150 to 200 basis points of unfavorable impact due to store closures net of expected sales recapture rates from our optimization efforts, and approximately 150 basis points of anticipated impact from foreign exchange headwinds.
