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 related to the Company’s store optimization efforts, the expanded Regis distribution and new strategic initiatives
  • Gross margin is expected to remain above 50%
  • Adjusted Operating Margin is expected to be in the range of 8.5% and 9.5%, inclusive of investment in store labor as the Company focuses on elevating the expertise of its associates to drive growth in the coming years.

Challenges Ahead

  • Net sales are expected to decline by low-single digits compared to the prior year, reflecting the unfavorable impact due to store closures from the Company’s store optimization efforts, net of expected sales recapture rates, and the anticipated unfavorable impact from foreign exchange headwinds
