This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the occurrence and the financial impact of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures. **Conference Call and Where You Can Find Additional Information** The Company will hold a conference call and live webcast at approximately 7:30 a.m. Central Time today, February 9, 2026, to discuss its financial results and its business.

Forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” “can,” “may,” “estimates,” “should,” “plans,” “targets,” “intends,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “anticipates,” “potential,” “confident,” “optimistic,” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, objectives, estimates, guidance, expectations and future plans. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as such statements speak only as of the date they were made. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the forward-looking statements, including the “Risk Factors” described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Consequently, all forward-looking statements in this release are qualified by the factors, risks and uncertainties contained therein. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. **Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures** This news release and the schedules hereto include the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, (“GAAP”), and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures: (1) Adjusted Gross Margin; (2) Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses; (3) Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA Margin; (4) Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin; (5) Adjusted Net Earnings; (6) Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share; and (7) Free Cash Flow. We have provided definitions below for these non-GAAP financial measures and have provided tables in the schedules hereto to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures. _Adjusted Gross Margin –_ We define the measure Adjusted Gross Margin as GAAP gross margin excluding the inventory write-off from the Company’s European operations in connection with the fuel for growth initiative for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures. _Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses –_ We define the measure Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses excluding the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and expenses related to the Company’s corporate headquarters relocation for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures. _Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA Margin –_ We define the measure Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net earnings before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, share-based compensation, costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and expenses related to the Company’s corporate headquarters relocation for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. _Adjusted Operating Earnings and Operating Margin –_ Adjusted operating earnings are GAAP operating earnings that exclude the costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and expenses related to the Company’s corporate headquarters relocation for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Operating Margin is Adjusted Operating Earnings as a percentage of net sales. _Adjusted Net Earnings –_ Adjusted net earnings is GAAP net earnings that exclude the tax-effected costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and tax-effected expenses related to the Company’s corporate headquarters relocation for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures. _Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share –_ Adjusted diluted net earnings per share is GAAP diluted earnings per share that exclude the tax-effected costs related to the Company’s fuel for growth initiative and tax-effected expenses related to the Company’s corporate headquarters relocation for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures. _Free Cash Flow_ – We define the measure Free Cash Flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less payments for capital expenditures (net). We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure that provides useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated from operations after taking into account payments for capital expenditures (net). We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide valuable information regarding our earnings and business trends by excluding specific items that we believe are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our businesses, providing a useful way for investors to make a comparison of our performance over time and against other companies in our industry. We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to our GAAP financial measures and believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information regarding our operating performance and cash flows. Our management and Board of Directors also use these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to evaluate our businesses and the performance of management, including the determination of performance-based compensation, to make operating and strategic decisions, and to allocate financial resources. We believe that these non-GAAP measures also provide meaningful information for investors and securities analysts to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. _**Supplemental Schedules**_ Segment Information 1 Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations 2 Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliations; Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow 3 Store Count and Comparable Sales 4 **SALLY BEAUTY HOLDINGS, INC.
