Description of Business | |
Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Sally Beauty" or "the Company") sell professional beauty supplies through its Sally Beauty Supply retail stores located in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain. Additionally, the Company distributes professional beauty products to salons and salon professionals through its Beauty Systems Group ("BSG") store operations and a commissioned direct sales force that calls on salons primarily in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom and certain other countries in Europe, and to franchises in the southern and southwestern regions of the U.S., and in Mexico through the operations of its subsidiary Armstrong McCall, L.P. ("Armstrong McCall"). A significant number of the Company's products are also available through a number of Sally Beauty Supply and BSG-operated websites. Certain beauty products sold by BSG and Armstrong McCall are sold under exclusive territory agreements with the manufacturers of the products. | |
Sally Beauty Supply began operations with a single store in New Orleans in 1964 and was acquired in 1969 by our former parent company, The Alberto-Culver Company, which we refer to as Alberto-Culver. BSG became a subsidiary of Sally Beauty in 1995. In 2006, Sally Beauty separated from Alberto-Culver and became an independent company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. | |
Basis of Presentation | |
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Certain amounts for prior fiscal years have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal year's presentation. | |
All references in these notes to "management" are to the management of Sally Beauty. | |

2. Significant Accounting Policies | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to interpret and apply accounting standards and to develop and follow accounting policies consistent with such standards. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent liabilities in the financial statements. Our most significant estimates relate to: the valuation of inventory, vendor concessions, retention of risk, income taxes, the assessment of long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment, loss contingencies and share-based payments. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are completed. Actual results may differ from these estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements are reasonable. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
All highly liquid investments purchased by the Company from time to time which have an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Also included in cash equivalents are proceeds due from customer credit and debit cards and PayPal transactions, which generally settle within one to three days, and were $13.3 million and $10.6 million at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |
Concentration of Credit Risk | |
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of investments in cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative instruments. | |
The Company invests from time to time in securities of financial institutions it deems to be of high creditworthiness. Accounts receivable are deemed by the Company to be highly diversified due to the high number of individual customers comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across diverse geographical regions. The counterparties to our derivative instruments are deemed by the Company to be of substantial resources and strong creditworthiness. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to its investments in cash equivalents, its accounts receivable and its derivative instruments at September 30, 2014 and 2013. | |
Trade Accounts Receivable and Accounts Receivable, Other | |
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the values invoiced to customers and do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are stated net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to estimate the future collectability of amounts receivable at the balance sheet date. The Company records allowances for doubtful accounts on the basis of historical collection data and current customer information. Customer account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. In the Company's consolidated statements of earnings, bad debt expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company's exposure to credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the Company's broad customer base and their dispersion across diverse geographical regions. | |
Accounts receivable, other, consist primarily of amounts expected to be received from vendors under various contractual agreements and are recorded at the amount management estimates will be collected. | |
Inventory | |
Inventory consists primarily of beauty supplies and related accessories, and salon equipment for sale in the normal course of our business. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, or market (net realizable value). Inventory cost reflects actual product costs, the cost of transportation to the Company's distribution centers and certain shipping and handling costs, such as freight from the distribution centers to the stores and handling costs incurred at the distribution centers. When necessary, the Company adjusts the carrying value of inventory to the lower of cost or market, including anticipated disposal costs and for estimated inventory shrinkage. When assessing the net realizable value of inventory, management considers several factors including estimates of the future demand for the Company's products, historical turn-over rates, the age and sales history of the inventory, and historic as well as anticipated changes in stock keeping units ("SKUs"). | |
The Company estimates inventory shrinkage between physical counts based on its historical experience. Physical inventory counts are performed at substantially all stores and significant distribution centers at least annually, and sooner when management has reason to believe that the risk of inventory shrinkage at a particular location is heightened. Upon completion of physical inventory counts, the Company's consolidated financial statements are adjusted to reflect actual quantities on hand. The Company has policies and processes in place that are intended to minimize inventory shrinkage. Inventory shrinkage expense has averaged approximately 1.0% of our consolidated net sales during each of the past three fiscal years. | |
Lease Accounting | |
The Company's lease agreements for office space, company-operated stores and warehouse/distribution facilities are generally accounted for as operating leases, consistent with applicable GAAP. Rent expense (including any rent abatements or escalation charges) is recognized on a straight-line basis from the date the Company takes possession of the property to begin preparation of the site for occupancy to the end of the lease term, including renewal options determined to be reasonably assured. Certain lease agreements to which the Company is a party provide for contingent rents that are determined as a percentage of revenues in excess of specified levels. The Company records a contingent rent liability, along with the corresponding rent expense, when the specified levels of revenue have been achieved or when management determines that achieving the specified levels of revenue during the fiscal year is probable. | |
Certain lease agreements to which the Company is a party provide for tenant improvement allowances. Such allowances are recorded as deferred lease credits, included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, as appropriate, on our consolidated balance sheets, and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including renewal options determined to be reasonably assured) as a reduction of rent expense. The amortization period used for deferred lease credits is generally consistent with the amortization period used for the constructed leasehold improvement asset for a given location. | |
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives | |
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, including store equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization is assessed by comparing the net carrying amount of each asset to its total estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. There were no significant impairment losses recognized in our consolidated financial statements in the current or prior fiscal years presented in connection with long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization. | |
Intangible assets subject to amortization include customer relationships, certain distribution rights and non-competition agreements, and are amortized, on a straight-line basis, over periods of one to twelve years. Such amortization periods are based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and take into account the terms of any underlying agreements, but do not generally reflect all renewal terms contractually available to the Company. | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives | |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Our intangible assets with indefinite lives consist of trade names acquired in business combinations. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment at least annually, during our second fiscal quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the value of the asset may be impaired. When assessing goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for potential impairment, management considers whether the value of the asset has been impaired by evaluating if various factors (including current operating results, anticipated future results and cash flows, and relevant market and economic conditions) indicate a possible impairment and, if appropriate, compares the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. | |
Based on management's assessments, after taking into account the economic downturn experienced during the past several years in certain geographic areas in which we operate, there was no material impairment of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives recognized in our financial statements in the current or prior fiscal years presented. | |
Deferred Financing Costs | |
Certain costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are capitalized when incurred and are amortized over the estimated term of the related debt instruments or agreements generally using the effective interest method. Such capitalized costs are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed proportionally when certain debt is prepaid or notes are redeemed. | |
Self-Insurance Programs | |
The Company retains a substantial portion of the risk related to certain of its workers' compensation, general and auto liability, and property damage insurable loss exposure. Predetermined loss limits have been arranged with insurance companies to limit the Company's exposure per occurrence and aggregate cash outlay. In addition, certain of our employees and their dependents are covered by a self-insurance program for healthcare benefit purposes. Currently these self-insurance costs (less amounts recovered through payroll deductions) and certain out-of-pocket amounts incurred in connection with the employee healthcare program are funded by the Company. The Company maintains an annual stop-loss insurance policy for the healthcare benefits plan. | |
The Company records an estimated liability for the ultimate cost of claims incurred and unpaid as of the balance sheet date, which includes both claims filed and estimated losses incurred but not yet reported. The Company estimates the ultimate cost based on an analysis of its historical data and actuarial estimates. Workers' compensation, general and auto liability and property damage insurable loss liabilities are recorded at the estimate of their net present value, while healthcare plan liabilities are not discounted. These estimates are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the recorded liability is adequate. The Company believes the amounts accrued at September 30, 2014 and 2013 are adequate. | |
Revenue Recognition | |
The Company recognizes sales revenue when a customer consummates a point-of-sale transaction at a store. The cost of sales incentive programs, including customer and consumer coupons, is recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis and are excluded from revenue. The Company also recognizes revenue on merchandise shipped to customers when title and risk of loss pass to the customer (generally upon shipment). Appropriate provisions for sales returns and cash discounts are made at the time the sales are recognized. Sales returns and allowances averaged approximately 2.0% of net sales during each of the past three fiscal years. Please see Note 3, Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes, for more information about the revenue standard recently released, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. | |
Cost of Products Sold and Distribution Expenses | |
Cost of products sold and distribution expenses include actual product costs, the cost of transportation to the Company's distribution centers, vendor rebates and allowances, inventory shrinkage and certain shipping and handling costs, such as freight from the distribution centers to the stores and handling costs incurred at the distribution centers. All other shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred. | |
Shipping and Handling | |
Shipping and handling costs (including freight and distribution expenses) related to delivery to customers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings when incurred and amounted to $52.2 million, $48.5 million and $41.3 million for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |
Advertising Costs | |
Advertising costs relate mainly to print advertisements, digital marketing, trade shows and product education for salon professionals. Advertising costs incurred in connection with print advertisements are expensed the first time the advertisement is run. Other advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs were $90.2 million, $83.9 million and $79.8 million for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings. | |
Vendor Rebates and Concessions | |
The Company deems a cash consideration received from a supplier to be a reduction of the cost of products sold unless it is in exchange for an asset or service or a reimbursement of a specific, incremental, identifiable cost incurred by the Company in selling the vendor's products. The majority of cash consideration received by the Company is considered to be a reduction of the cost of the related products and is reflected in cost of products sold and distribution expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings as the related products are sold. Any portion of such cash consideration received that is attributable to inventory on hand is reflected as a reduction of inventory. | |
Income Taxes | |
The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are estimated to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized unless it is more-likely-than-not that such assets will be realized in full. The estimated tax benefit of an uncertain tax position is recorded in our financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax position will withstand challenge, if any, from applicable taxing authorities. | |
Foreign Currency | |
The functional currency of each of the Company's foreign operations is generally the respective local currency. Balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars (the Company's reporting currency) at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, while the results of operations and cash flows are generally translated using average exchange rates for the periods presented. Individually material transactions, if any, are translated using the actual rate of exchange on the transaction date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings when incurred and were not significant in any of the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements. | |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
We have not yet adopted and are currently assessing the potential effect of the following pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements: | |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09") which will supersede Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. A core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should measure revenue in connection with its sale of goods and services to a customer based on an amount that depicts the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for each of those goods and services. For a contract that involves more than one performance obligation, the entity must (a) determine or, if necessary, estimate the standalone selling price at inception of the contract for the distinct goods or services underlying each performance obligation and (b) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices. In addition, under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue when (or as) it satisfies each performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. A good or service is deemed transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that good or service. The new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. For public companies, this amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted for public companies. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of the new standard on its financial statements. | |

The Company made no accounting changes during the fiscal year 2014. | |

4. Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||||
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, accounts payable, foreign currency derivative instruments and debt. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. | ||||||||||||||
The Company measures on a recurring basis and discloses the fair value of its financial instruments under the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, as amended ("ASC 820"). The Company defines "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— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | ||||||||||||||
Level 2— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data; and | ||||||||||||||
Level 3— Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||
Consistent with this hierarchy, the Company categorized certain of its financial assets and liabilities as follows at September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands): | ||||||||||||||

The Company is authorized to issue up to 500.0 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and up to 50.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 155.1 million shares issued of its common stock and approximately 154.7 million shares outstanding. There have been no shares of the Company's preferred stock issued. | |
In March 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $700.0 million of our common stock (the "2013 Share Repurchase Program"). In addition, in August 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our common stock over the period from August 20, 2014 to September 30, 2017 (the "2014 Share Repurchase Program"). In connection with the authorization of the 2014 Share Repurchase Program, the 2013 Share Repurchase Program was terminated. Prior to termination of the 2013 Share Repurchase Program, the Company had repurchased and retired approximately 21.1 million shares of its common stock (including approximately 8.5 million shares prior to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014) at a cost of $576.6 million under the 2013 Share Repurchase Program. The 2014 Share Repurchase Program expires on September 30, 2017. | |
For fiscal years 2014 and 2013, we repurchased and retired approximately 12.6 million and 18.9 million shares, respectively, of our common stock at a cost of $333.3 million and $509.7 million, respectively. In addition, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased and retired approximately 7.6 million shares of our common stock from two venture capital investment funds associated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (the "CDR Investors") at a cost of $200.0 million. Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, for more information about the CDR Investors. We funded these share repurchases with a portion of the cash proceeds from our September 2012 and October 2013 debt issuances, cash from operations and borrowings under the ABL facility. The Company reduced common stock and additional paid-in capital, in the aggregate, by these amounts. As required by GAAP, the Company recorded any amounts paid to repurchase shares in excess of the balance of additional paid-in capital in accumulated deficit. | |
At September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments of $28.5 million and $9.8 million, respectively, and is net of income taxes of $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Comprehensive income reflects changes in accumulated stockholders' equity (deficit) from sources other than transactions with stockholders and, as such, includes net earnings and certain other specified components. Currently, the Company's only component of comprehensive income, other than net earnings, is foreign currency translation adjustments, net of income tax. | |

At September 30, 2014 and 2012, options to purchase 130,952 and 44,340 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, since these options were anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive options are: (a) out-of-the-money options (options the exercise price of which is greater than the average price per share of the Company's common stock during the period), and (b) in-the-money options (options the exercise price of which is less than the average price per share of the Company's common stock during the period) for which the sum of assumed proceeds, including any unrecognized compensation expense related to such options, exceeds the average price per share for the period. At September 30, 2013, all outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were dilutive. | |||||||||||

The Company from time to time grants share-based awards to its employees and consultants under the Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan"), a stockholder-approved share-based compensation plan which allows for the issuance of up to 29.8 million shares of the Company's common stock. As such, during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company granted approximately 1.6 million, 1.6 million and 2.0 million stock options, respectively, and approximately 247,000, 139,000 and 32,000 restricted share awards, respectively, to its employees and consultants under the 2010 Plan. These amounts include 130,952 stock options issued and 210,820 restricted stock awards made during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 in connection with the executive management transition plan announced in May 2014. In addition, during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company granted approximately 27,000, 36,000 and 26,000 restricted stock units, respectively, to its non-employee directors under the 2010 Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company measures the cost of services received from employees, directors and consultants in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant, and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period or over the period ending on the date a participant becomes eligible for retirement, if earlier. For the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, total compensation cost charged against income and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings for all share-based compensation arrangements was $22.1 million, $19.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively, and resulted in an increase in additional paid-in capital by the same amounts. These amounts include, for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, $8.8 million, $5.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of accelerated expense related to certain retirement eligible employees who continue vesting awards upon retirement, under the provisions of the 2010 Plan and certain predecessor share-based plans such as the Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"). During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, the accelerated share-based compensation expense includes $3.5 million related to the executive management transition plan announced in May 2014. For fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, the total income tax benefit recognized in our consolidated statements of earnings in connection with all share-based compensation awards was $8.2 million, $7.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||
Stock Option Awards | |||||||||||||||||
Each option has an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and generally has a maximum term of 10 years. Options generally vest ratably over a four year period and are generally subject to forfeiture until the vesting period is complete, subject to certain retirement provisions contained in the 2010 Plan and certain predecessor share-based compensation plans such as the 2007 Plan. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the Company's stock options for each stock option award. Using this option pricing model, the fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company's stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period (generally four years) of the stock options or to the date a participant becomes eligible for retirement, if earlier. | |||||||||||||||||
The weighted average assumptions relating to the valuation of the Company's stock options are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

Dividend yield | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % | |||||||||||
The expected life of options represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical experience of employees of the Company who have been granted stock options. The expected volatility reflects the average historical volatility for the Company's common stock over the expected life. The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. treasury notes with a comparable term as of the date of the grant. Since the Company does not currently expect to pay dividends, the dividend yield used is 0%. | |||||||||||||||||
The weighted average fair value at the date of grant of the stock options issued by the Company during the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $11.08, $11.29 and $9.60, respectively. The total fair value of stock options issued to the Company's grantees that vested during the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $19.5 million, $12.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $50.3 million, $55.4 million and $53.2 million, respectively. The total cash received during the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 from these option exercises was $26.7 million, $25.5 million and $28.0 million, respectively, and the tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from these option exercises was $18.3 million, $18.7 million and $18.9 million, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||
At September 30, 2014, approximately $13.5 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock option awards are expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.3 years. | |||||||||||||||||
Stock Awards | |||||||||||||||||
Restricted Stock Awards | |||||||||||||||||
The Company from time to time grants restricted stock awards to employees and consultants under the 2010 Plan. A restricted stock award is an award of shares of the Company's common stock (which have full voting and dividend rights but are restricted with regard to sale or transfer) the restrictions over which lapse ratably over a specified period of time (generally four or five years). Restricted stock awards are independent of stock option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to these restrictions lapsing, subject to certain retirement provisions of the 2010 Plan and certain predecessor share-based compensation plans such as the 2007 Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
The fair value of the Company's restricted stock awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the period (generally five years) in which the restrictions on these stock awards lapse ("vesting") or over the period ending on the date a participant becomes eligible for retirement, if earlier. For these purposes, the fair value of the restricted stock award is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. | |||||||||||||||||
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, the Company granted 210,820 restricted stock awards with restrictions that lapse ratably over terms ranging from three to four years, in connection with the executive management transition plan announced in May 2014. | |||||||||||||||||

Restricted Stock Units | |||||||||||||||||
The Company currently grants restricted stock unit ("RSU" or "RSUs") awards, which generally vest within one year from the date of grant, pursuant to the 2010 Plan. To date, the Company has only granted RSU awards to its non-employee directors. RSUs represent an unsecured promise of the Company to issue shares of its common stock. RSUs are converted into shares of the Company's common stock generally on the vesting date. An independent director who receives an RSU award may elect, upon receipt of such award, to defer until a later date delivery of the shares of common stock of the Company that would otherwise be issued to such director on the vesting date. RSUs granted prior to the fiscal year 2012, are generally retained by the Company as deferred stock units that are not distributed until six months after the independent director's service as a director terminates. RSUs are independent of stock option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if service terminates prior to the vesting of the units. Participants have no voting rights with respect to unvested RSUs. Under the 2010 Plan, the Company may settle the vested deferred stock units with shares of the Company's common stock or in cash. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company expenses the cost of the RSUs, which is determined to be the fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period (generally one year). For these purposes, the fair value of the RSU is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. | |||||||||||||||||

Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective classes of assets and is reflected in depreciation and amortization expense in our consolidated statements of earnings. Buildings and building improvements are depreciated over periods ranging from five to 40 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the related lease, including renewals determined to be reasonably assured. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over periods ranging from two to ten years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred, while expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized. | ||||||||

As described in Note 17, during the fiscal year 2013, $3.1 million of the increase in BSG's goodwill was attributable to the Company's acquisition of certain assets and business operations of Essential Salon Products, Inc.

The remaining increase in consolidated goodwill in the amount of $2.0 million was attributable to acquisitions which were not individually material and to purchase price adjustments. | |||||||||||

In connection with the Company's periodic review of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, including the Company's annual assessment of intangible assets for impairment, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, a trade name of the Sally Beauty Supply segment with a gross book value of approximately $5.5 million was determined to now have a finite useful life. This change was driven by recent events and circumstances involving the underlying product line. In connection with the change, this intangible asset is being amortized prospectively over the estimated remaining useful life of the product line. Additionally, as described in Note 17, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, intangible assets subject to amortization in the amount of $9.1 million were recorded by BSG in connection with the Company's acquisition of certain assets and business operations of Essential Salon and $4.0 million in connection with individually immaterial acquisitions completed in the year. | |||||||||||
Amortization expense totaled $14.5 million, $12.8 million and $13.7 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Certain of the Company's leases require the Company to pay a portion of real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and special assessments assessed by the lessor. Also, certain of the Company's leases include renewal options and escalation clauses. Aggregate rental expense for all operating leases amounted to $218.0 million, $206.2 million and $194.9 million for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings. | |||||

Legal Proceedings | |||||
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of its business in the ordinary course. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |||||
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement whereby it agreed to pay the plaintiff in certain actions brought against the Company in March 2011 the one-time cash sum of $8.5 million and agreed to certain other terms of settlement in exchange for a full release of claims. | |||||
Other Contingencies | |||||
In March 2014, the Company disclosed that it had experienced a data security incident in February 2014. The costs that the Company has incurred to date in connection with the data security incident primarily include professional advisory and legal costs. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses reflect a charge of $2.5 million, consisting primarily of these costs relating to the data security incident. The Company may incur additional costs and expenses related to the data security incident in the future. These costs may also result from potential liabilities to payment card networks, governmental or third party investigations, proceedings or litigation and legal and other fees necessary to defend against any potential liabilities or claims. As of September 30, 2014, the scope of these additional costs, or a range thereof, cannot be reasonably estimated. | |||||
The Company provides healthcare benefits to most of its full-time employees. The Company is largely self-funded for the cost of the healthcare plan (including healthcare claims) primarily in the U.S., other than certain fees and out-of-pocket expenses paid by the employees. In addition, the Company retains a substantial portion of the risk related to certain workers' compensation, general liability, and automobile and property insurance. The Company records an estimated liability for the ultimate cost of claims incurred and unpaid as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liability is included in accrued liabilities (current portion) and other liabilities (long-term portion) in our consolidated balance sheets. The Company carries insurance coverage in such amounts in excess of its self-insured retention which management believes to be reasonable. | |||||
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. The Company has no significant liabilities for loss contingencies at September 30, 2014 and 2013. | |||||

In November 2006, the Company, through its subsidiaries (Sally Investment Holdings LLC and Sally Holdings LLC, which we refer to as "Sally Investment" and "Sally Holdings," respectively) incurred $1,850.0 million of indebtedness in connection with the Company's separation from its former parent, The Alberto-Culver Company, which we refer to as Alberto-Culver. | |||||||||
In the fiscal year 2011, Sally Holdings entered into a $400 million, five-year asset-based senior secured loan facility (the "ABL facility"). The availability of funds under the ABL facility, as amended in June 2012, is subject to a customary borrowing base comprised of: (i) a specified percentage of our eligible credit card and trade accounts receivable (as defined therein) and (ii) a specified percentage of our eligible inventory (as defined therein), and reduced by (iii) certain customary reserves and adjustments and by certain outstanding letters of credit. The ABL facility includes a $25.0 million Canadian sub-facility for our Canadian operations. In July 2013, the Company, Sally Holdings and other parties to the ABL facility entered into a second amendment to the ABL facility which, among other things, increased the maximum availability under the ABL Facility to $500.0 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), reduced pricing, relaxed the restrictions regarding the making of Restricted Payments, extended the maturity to July 26, 2018 and improved certain other covenant terms. | |||||||||
At September 30, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL facility and the Company had $476.0 million available for borrowing under the ABL facility, including the Canadian sub-facility. Borrowings under the ABL facility are secured by the accounts, inventory and credit card receivables of our domestic subsidiaries and Canadian subsidiaries (in the case of borrowings under the Canadian sub-facility), together with general intangibles and certain other personal property of our domestic subsidiaries and Canadian subsidiaries (in the case of borrowings under the Canadian sub-facility) relating to the accounts and inventory, as well as deposit accounts of our domestic subsidiaries and Canadian subsidiaries (in the case of borrowings under the Canadian sub-facility) and, solely with respect to borrowings by SBH Finance B.V., intercompany notes owed to SBH Finance B.V. by our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the terms of the ABL facility contain a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the facility. | |||||||||
In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, Sally Holdings and Sally Capital Inc. (collectively, the "Issuers"), both indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 6.875% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "senior notes due 2019") and $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 5.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "senior notes due 2022"), including $150.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes due 2022 issued at par plus a premium. Such premium is being amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The net proceeds from these debt issuances were used to retire outstanding indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,391.9 million (substantially all of which was incurred in 2006 in connection with our separation from Alberto-Culver) and for general corporate purposes. | |||||||||
On October 29, 2013, the Issuers, both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 5.5% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "senior notes due 2023") at par. The Company used the net proceeds from this debt issuance, approximately $196.3 million, to repay borrowings outstanding under the ABL facility of $88.5 million (which borrowings were primarily used to fund share repurchases) and for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases. | |||||||||
The senior notes due 2019, the senior notes due 2022 and the senior notes due 2023, which we refer to collectively as "the Notes" or "the senior notes due 2019, 2022 and 2023," are unsecured obligations of the Issuers and are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Company and Sally Investment, and by each material domestic subsidiary of the Company. Interest on the senior notes due 2019, 2022 and 2023 is payable semi-annually, during the Company's first and third fiscal quarters. Please see Note 19 for certain condensed financial statement data pertaining to Sally Beauty, the Issuers, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries. | |||||||||
The senior notes due 2019 carry optional redemption features whereby the Company has the option to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on or after November 15, 2017 at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and on or after November 15, 2015 at par plus a premium declining ratably to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Prior to November 15, 2015, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to par plus a make-whole premium as provided in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, on or prior to November 15, 2014, the Company has the right to redeem at par plus a specified premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued, subject to certain limitations, with the proceeds from certain kinds of equity offerings, as defined in the indenture. | |||||||||
The senior notes due 2022 carry optional redemption features whereby the Company has the option to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on or after June 1, 2020 at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and on or after June 1, 2017 at par plus a premium declining ratably to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Prior to June 1, 2017, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to par plus a make-whole premium as provided in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, on or prior to June 1, 2015, the Company has the right to redeem at par plus a specified premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued, subject to certain limitations, with the proceeds from certain kinds of equity offerings, as defined in the indenture. | |||||||||
The senior notes due 2023 carry optional redemption features whereby the Company has the option to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on or after November 1, 2021 at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and on or after November 1, 2018 at par plus a premium declining ratably to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Prior to November 1, 2018, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to par plus a make-whole premium as provided in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, on or prior to November 1, 2016, the Company has the right to redeem at par plus a specified premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued, subject to certain limitations, with the proceeds from certain kinds of equity offerings, as defined in the indenture. | |||||||||

We are a holding company and do not have any material assets or operations other than ownership of equity interests of our subsidiaries. The agreements and instruments governing the debt of Sally Holdings and its subsidiaries contain material limitations on their ability to pay dividends and other restricted payments to us which, in turn, constitute material limitations on our ability to pay dividends and other payments to our stockholders. | |||||||||
The ABL facility does not contain any restriction against the incurrence of unsecured indebtedness. However, the ABL facility restricts the incurrence of secured indebtedness if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such secured indebtedness, the Company's Secured Leverage Ratio exceeds 4.0 to 1.0. At September 30, 2014, the Company's Secured Leverage Ratio was less than 0.1 to 1.0. Secured Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) Secured Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the ABL facility) to (ii) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the ABL facility). | |||||||||
The ABL facility is pre-payable, and the commitments thereunder may be terminated, in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium. | |||||||||
The indentures governing the senior notes due 2019, 2022 and 2023 contain terms which restrict the ability of Sally Beauty's subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness. However, in addition to certain other material exceptions, the Company may incur additional indebtedness under the indentures if its Consolidated Coverage Ratio, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness, exceeds 2.0 to 1.0 ("Incurrence Test"). At September 30, 2014, the Company's Consolidated Coverage Ratio was approximately 5.6 to 1.0. Consolidated Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the indentures) for the period containing the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters, to (ii) Consolidated Interest Expense (as defined in the indentures) for such period. | |||||||||
The indentures governing the senior notes due 2019, 2022 and 2023 restrict Sally Holdings and its subsidiaries from making certain dividends and distributions to equity holders and certain other restricted payments (hereafter, a "Restricted Payment" or "Restricted Payments") to us. However, the indentures permit the making of such Restricted Payments if, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, the Company satisfies the Incurrence Test as described above and the cumulative amount of all Restricted Payments made since the issue date of the applicable senior notes does not exceed the sum of: (i) 50% of Sally Holdings' and its subsidiaries' cumulative consolidated net earnings since July 1, 2006, plus (ii) the proceeds from the issuance of certain equity securities or conversions of indebtedness to equity, in each case, since the issue date of the applicable senior notes plus (iii) the net reduction in investments in unrestricted subsidiaries since the issue date of the applicable senior notes plus (iv) the return of capital with respect to any sales or dispositions of certain minority investments since the issue date of the applicable senior notes. Further, in addition to certain other baskets, the indentures permit the Company to make additional Restricted Payments in an unlimited amount if, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of any indebtedness to make such Restricted Payment, the Company's Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the indentures) is less than 3.25 to 1.00. At September 30, 2014, the Company's Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was approximately 2.8 to 1.0. Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) Consolidated Total Indebtedness (as defined in the indentures) minus cash and cash equivalents on-hand up to $100.0 million, in each case, as of the end of the most recently-ended fiscal quarter to (ii) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the indentures) for the period containing the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters. | |||||||||
The ABL facility also restricts the making of Restricted Payments. More specifically, under the ABL facility, Sally Holdings may make Restricted Payments if availability under the ABL facility equals or exceeds certain thresholds, and no default then exists under the facility. For Restricted Payments up to $30.0 million during each fiscal year, borrowing availability must equal or exceed the lesser of $75.0 million or 15% of the borrowing base for 45 days prior to such Restricted Payment. For Restricted Payments in excess of that amount, borrowing availability must equal or exceed the lesser of $100.0 million or 20% of the borrowing base for 45 days prior to such Restricted Payment and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined below) must equal or exceed 1.1 to 1.0. Further, if borrowing availability equals or exceeds the lesser of $150.0 million or 30% of the borrowing base, Restricted Payments are not limited by the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test. The Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the ABL facility) during the trailing twelve-month period preceding such proposed Restricted Payment minus certain unfinanced capital expenditures made during such period and income tax payments paid in cash during such period to (ii) fixed charges (as defined in the ABL facility). In addition, during any period that borrowing availability under the ABL facility is less than the greater of $40.0 million or 10% of the borrowing base, the level of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio that the Company must satisfy is 1.0 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2014, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was approximately 3.6 to 1.0. | |||||||||
When used in this Annual Report, the phrase "Consolidated EBITDA" is intended to have the meaning ascribed to such phrase in the ABL facility or the indentures governing the senior notes due 2019, 2022 and 2023, as appropriate. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for financial performance and liquidity measures determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net earnings, operating earnings and operating cash flows. | |||||||||
The ABL facility and the indentures governing the senior notes due 2019, 2022 and 2023 contain other covenants regarding restrictions on the disposition of assets, the granting of liens and security interests, the prepayment of certain indebtedness, and other matters and customary events of default, including customary cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions. As of September 30, 2014, all the net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries were unrestricted from transfer under our credit arrangements. | |||||||||
At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than operating leases incurred in the ordinary course of business as disclosed in Note 12 and outstanding letters of credit related to inventory purchases and self-insurance programs which totaled $22.0 million and $23.9 million at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||||||

14. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk Management Objectives of Using Derivative Instruments | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company is exposed to a wide variety of risks, including risks arising from changing economic conditions. The Company manages its exposure to certain economic risks (including liquidity, credit risk, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates and in interest rates) primarily: (a) by closely managing its cash flows from operating and investing activities and the amounts and sources of its debt obligations; (b) by assessing periodically the creditworthiness of its business partners; and (c) through the use of derivative instruments from time to time (including, foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps) by Sally Holdings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company from time to time uses foreign exchange contracts (including foreign currency forwards and options), as part of its overall economic risk management strategy, to fix the amount of certain foreign assets and obligations relative to its functional and reporting currency (the U.S. dollar) or relative to the functional currency of certain of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to add stability to cash flows resulting from its net investments (including intercompany notes not permanently invested) and earnings denominated in foreign currencies. The Company's foreign currency exposures at times offset each other, sometimes providing a natural hedge against its foreign currency risk. In connection with the remaining foreign currency risk, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts to effectively fix the foreign currency exchange rate applicable to specific anticipated foreign currency-denominated cash flows thus limiting the potential fluctuations in such cash flows as a result of foreign currency market movements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company from time to time has used interest rate swaps, as part of its overall economic risk management strategy, to add stability to the interest payments due in connection with its debt obligations. At September 30, 2014, our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relates to interest payments under the ABL facility, if any, and the Company held no derivatives instruments in connection therewith. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
As of September 30, 2014, the Company did not purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Designated Cash Flow Hedges | ||||||||||||||||||||||
In 2008, Sally Holdings entered into certain interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million which enabled it to convert a portion of its then variable interest rate obligation, to a fixed-interest rate obligation. These agreements were designated and qualified as effective cash flow hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments (which were adjusted quarterly) were recorded, net of income tax, in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI") until the swap agreements expired in May 2012. Amounts previously reported in AOCI which were related to such interest rate swaps were reclassified into interest expense, as a yield adjustment, in the same period in which interest on the hedged variable-rate debt obligations affected earnings. As such, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Company's other comprehensive income included deferred gains on these interest swaps of $3.9 million, net of income tax. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Non-designated Cash Flow Hedges | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company may use from time to time derivative instruments (such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps) not designated as hedges or that do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, to manage its exposure to interest rate or foreign currency exchange rate movements, as appropriate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to manage the exposure to the U.S. dollar resulting from certain of its international subsidiaries' purchases of merchandise from third-party suppliers. These subsidiaries have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar—their functional currency is either the British pound sterling or the Euro. As such, at September 30, 2014, we hold: (a) foreign currency forwards which enable us to sell approximately £6.5 million ($10.6 million, at the September 30, 2014 exchange rate) at the weighted average contractual exchange rate of 1.6277 and (b) foreign currency forwards which enable us to sell approximately €10.8 million ($13.7 million, at the September 30, 2014 exchange rate) at the weighted average contractual exchange rate of 1.2903. These foreign currency forwards expire ratably through September 21, 2015. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company also uses foreign exchange contracts to mitigate its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in connection with certain intercompany balances not permanently invested. As such, at September 30, 2014, we hold: (a) a foreign currency forward which enables us to sell approximately €17.0 million ($21.4 million, at the September 30, 2014 exchange rate) at the contractual exchange rate of 1.2690, (b) a foreign currency forward which enables us to sell approximately $2.1 million Canadian dollars ($1.9 million, at the September 30, 2014 exchange rate) at the contractual exchange rate of 1.1210, (c) a foreign currency forward which enables us to buy approximately $12.7 million Canadian dollars ($11.4 million, at the September 30, 2014 exchange rate) at the contractual exchange rate of 1.1183, (d) a foreign currency forward which enables us to sell approximately 32.6 million Mexican pesos ($2.4 million, at the September 30, 2014 exchange rate) at the contractual exchange rate of 13.4525 and (e) a foreign currency forward which enables us to buy approximately £1.2 million ($2.0 million, at the September 30, 2014 exchange rate) at the contractual exchange rate of 1.6234. All the foreign currency forwards discussed in this paragraph expire on or before December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts including, at September 30, 2014, foreign currency forwards with an aggregate notional amount of £3.0 million ($4.9 million, at the September 30, 2014 exchange rate) to mitigate the exposure to the British pound sterling resulting from the sale of products and services among certain European subsidiaries of the Company. The foreign currency forwards discussed in this paragraph enable the Company to buy British pound sterling in exchange for Euro currency at the weighted average contractual exchange rate of 0.7976 and expire ratably through September 30, 2015. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
At September 30, 2014, all of the Company's foreign exchange contracts are with a single counterparty. The Company's foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedges and do not currently meet the requirements for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value (i.e., marked-to-market adjustments) of these derivative instruments, which are adjusted quarterly, are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings. Selling, general and administrative expenses include net gains of $1.9 million and $2.0 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2012, respectively, and net losses of $2.8 million in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 in connection with all of the Company's foreign currency derivative instruments, including marked-to-market adjustments. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

There were no gains or losses recognized in income on derivatives designated as hedging instruments as a result of ineffectiveness or the exclusion of such derivatives from effectiveness testing during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features | ||||||||||||||||||||||
At September 30, 2014, the aggregate fair value of all foreign exchange contracts held which consisted of derivative instruments in a liability position was less than $0.1 million. The Company was under no obligation to post and had not posted any collateral related to the agreements in a liability position. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The counterparties to all our derivative instruments are deemed by the Company to be of substantial resources and strong creditworthiness. However, these transactions result in exposure to credit risk in the event of default by a counterparty. The financial crisis that has affected the banking systems and financial markets in recent years resulted in many well-known financial institutions becoming less creditworthy or having diminished liquidity which could expose us to an increased level of counterparty credit risk. In the event that a counterparty defaults in its obligation under our derivative instruments, we could incur substantial financial losses. However, at the present time, no such losses are deemed probable. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company sponsors the Sally Beauty 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the "401k Plan"), which is a qualified defined contribution plan. The 401k Plan covers employees of the Company who meet certain eligibility requirements and who are not members of a collective bargaining unit. Under the terms of the 401k Plan, employees may contribute a percentage of their annual compensation to the 401k Plan up to certain maximums, as defined by the 401k Plan and by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The Company currently matches a portion of employee contributions to the plan. The Company recognized expense of $6.4 million, $6.7 million and $6.2 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to such employer matching contributions and these amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. | |
In addition, pursuant to the 401k Plan, the Company may make profit sharing contributions to the accounts of employees who meet certain eligibility requirements and who are not members of a collective bargaining unit. The Company's profit sharing contributions to the 401k Plan are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company recognized expense of $3.2 million, $3.2 million and $3.3 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to such profit sharing contributions and these amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. | |

Management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to account for uncertainties regarding recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, primarily foreign loss carryforwards. | |||||||||||
Domestic earnings before provision for income taxes were $361.8 million, $386.6 million and $334.5 million in the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Foreign operations had earnings before provision for income taxes of $28.9 million, $26.1 million and $26.4 million in the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||||||||||
Tax reserves are evaluated and adjusted as appropriate, while taking into account the progress of audits by various taxing jurisdictions and other changes in relevant facts and circumstances evident at each balance sheet date. Management does not expect the outcome of current or future tax audits to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. | |||||||||||
At September 30, 2014, undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign operations are intended to remain permanently invested to finance anticipated future growth and expansion. Accordingly, federal and state income taxes have not been provided on accumulated but undistributed earnings of $202.9 million and $170.9 million as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as such earnings have been permanently reinvested in the business. The determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not practicable. | |||||||||||
At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had total operating loss carry-forwards of $103.0 million and $96.4 million, respectively, of which $87.1 million and $79.4 million, respectively, are subject to a valuation allowance. At September 30, 2014, operating loss carry-forwards of $25.4 million expire between 2016 and 2032 and operating loss carry-forwards of $77.6 million have no expiration date. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had tax credit carry-forwards of $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, which expire in 2024. | |||||||||||

If recognized, these positions would affect the Company's effective tax rate. | |||||||||||
The Company classifies and recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. | |||||||||||
Because existing tax positions will continue to generate increased liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months, and the fact that from time to time we are routinely under audit by various taxing authorities, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change during the next 12 months. An estimate of the amount or range of such change cannot be made at this time. However, we do not expect the change, if any, to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations within the next 12 months. | |||||||||||
The IRS has concluded the field work associated with their examination of the Company's consolidated federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 through September 30, 2011 and issued their examination reports. The Company is currently seeking relief from double taxation through competent authority on certain cross-border adjustments, and it does not anticipate the ultimate resolution of these items to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. | |||||||||||
The IRS is currently conducting an examination of the Company's consolidated federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2013. The IRS had previously audited the Company's consolidated federal income tax returns through the tax year ended September 30, 2006. Thus, pending the resolution of the adjustments discussed in the preceding paragraph, our statute remains open from the year ended September 30, 2007 forward. Our foreign subsidiaries are impacted by various statutes of limitations, which are generally open from 2009 forward. Generally, states' statutes in the United States are open for tax reviews from 2007 forward. | |||||||||||

During the fiscal year 2014, the Company completed several individually immaterial acquisitions at an aggregate cost of approximately $4.9 million and recorded goodwill in the amount of $2.6 million (which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes) and intangible assets subject to amortization of $1.4 million in connection with these acquisitions. We funded these acquisitions with cash from operations and borrowing under the ABL facility. | |
In May 2013, the Company acquired certain assets and business operations of Essential Salon, a professional-only distributor of beauty products operating in the northeastern region of the United States, for approximately $15.7 million, subject to certain adjustments. Goodwill of $3.1 million (which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes) and intangible assets subject to amortization of $9.1 million were recorded as a result of this acquisition based on their estimated fair values. In addition, during the fiscal year 2013, the Company completed several other individually immaterial acquisitions at an aggregate cost of approximately $6.8 million and recorded additional goodwill of $2.0 million and intangible assets subject to amortization of $4.0 million in connection with these acquisitions. We funded the acquisitions completed in the fiscal year 2013 with cash from operations and borrowing under the ABL facility. | |
In November 2011, the Company acquired the Floral Group for approximately €22.8 million (approximately $31.2 million). The Floral Group is a distributor of professional beauty products then with 19 stores located in the Netherlands. The results of operations of the Floral Group are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements subsequent to the acquisition date. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill of $15.0 million (which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes) and intangible assets subject to amortization of $11.8 million were recorded as a result of this acquisition based on their estimated fair values. The acquisition was funded with cash from operations and with borrowings on our ABL facility in the amount of approximately $17.0 million. In addition, during the fiscal year 2012, the Company completed several other individually immaterial acquisitions at an aggregate cost of approximately $12.8 million and recorded additional goodwill in the amount of $9.4 million (the majority of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes) in connection with these acquisitions. Generally, we funded these acquisitions with cash from operations. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with these acquisitions were recorded based on their respective fair values at the acquisition date. | |
These business combinations have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of the entities acquired have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since their respective dates of acquisition. | |

19. Parent, Issuers, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | ||||||||||||||||||||
The following consolidating financial information presents the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the related condensed consolidating statements of earnings and comprehensive income, and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 2014 of: (i) Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc., or the "Parent;" (ii) Sally Holdings LLC and Sally Capital Inc., or the "Issuers;" (iii) the guarantor subsidiaries; (iv) the non-guarantor subsidiaries; (v) elimination entries necessary for consolidation purposes; and (vi) Sally Beauty on a consolidated basis. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to the subsidiary guarantors have not been provided as management believes the following information is sufficient, as guarantor subsidiaries are 100% indirectly owned by the Parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional. Additionally, the accounts, inventory, credit card receivables, deposit accounts, certain intercompany notes and certain other personal property of the guarantor subsidiaries relating to the inventory and accounts are pledged under the ABL facility and consequently may not be available to satisfy the claims of general creditors. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Significant Accounting Policies | ' |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent liabilities in the financial statements. Our most significant estimates relate to: the valuation of inventory, vendor concessions, retention of risk, income taxes, the assessment of long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment, loss contingencies and share-based payments. The level of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions increases with the length of time until the underlying transactions are completed. Actual results may differ from these estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements are reasonable. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
All highly liquid investments purchased by the Company from time to time which have an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Also included in cash equivalents are proceeds due from customer credit and debit cards and PayPal transactions, which generally settle within one to three days, and were $13.3 million and $10.6 million at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' |
Concentration of Credit Risk | |
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of investments in cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative instruments. | |
The Company invests from time to time in securities of financial institutions it deems to be of high creditworthiness. Accounts receivable are deemed by the Company to be highly diversified due to the high number of individual customers comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across diverse geographical regions. The counterparties to our derivative instruments are deemed by the Company to be of substantial resources and strong creditworthiness. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to its investments in cash equivalents, its accounts receivable and its derivative instruments at September 30, 2014 and 2013. | |
Trade Accounts Receivable and Accounts Receivable, Other | ' |
Trade Accounts Receivable and Accounts Receivable, Other | |
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the values invoiced to customers and do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are stated net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to estimate the future collectability of amounts receivable at the balance sheet date. The Company records allowances for doubtful accounts on the basis of historical collection data and current customer information. Customer account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. In the Company's consolidated statements of earnings, bad debt expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company's exposure to credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the Company's broad customer base and their dispersion across diverse geographical regions. | |
Accounts receivable, other, consist primarily of amounts expected to be received from vendors under various contractual agreements and are recorded at the amount management estimates will be collected. | |
Inventory | ' |
Inventory | |
Inventory consists primarily of beauty supplies and related accessories, and salon equipment for sale in the normal course of our business. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, or market (net realizable value). Inventory cost reflects actual product costs, the cost of transportation to the Company's distribution centers and certain shipping and handling costs, such as freight from the distribution centers to the stores and handling costs incurred at the distribution centers. When necessary, the Company adjusts the carrying value of inventory to the lower of cost or market, including anticipated disposal costs and for estimated inventory shrinkage. When assessing the net realizable value of inventory, management considers several factors including estimates of the future demand for the Company's products, historical turn-over rates, the age and sales history of the inventory, and historic as well as anticipated changes in stock keeping units ("SKUs"). | |
The Company estimates inventory shrinkage between physical counts based on its historical experience. Physical inventory counts are performed at substantially all stores and significant distribution centers at least annually, and sooner when management has reason to believe that the risk of inventory shrinkage at a particular location is heightened. Upon completion of physical inventory counts, the Company's consolidated financial statements are adjusted to reflect actual quantities on hand. The Company has policies and processes in place that are intended to minimize inventory shrinkage. Inventory shrinkage expense has averaged approximately 1.0% of our consolidated net sales during each of the past three fiscal years. | |
Lease Accounting | ' |
Lease Accounting | |
The Company's lease agreements for office space, company-operated stores and warehouse/distribution facilities are generally accounted for as operating leases, consistent with applicable GAAP. Rent expense (including any rent abatements or escalation charges) is recognized on a straight-line basis from the date the Company takes possession of the property to begin preparation of the site for occupancy to the end of the lease term, including renewal options determined to be reasonably assured. Certain lease agreements to which the Company is a party provide for contingent rents that are determined as a percentage of revenues in excess of specified levels. The Company records a contingent rent liability, along with the corresponding rent expense, when the specified levels of revenue have been achieved or when management determines that achieving the specified levels of revenue during the fiscal year is probable. | |
Certain lease agreements to which the Company is a party provide for tenant improvement allowances. Such allowances are recorded as deferred lease credits, included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, as appropriate, on our consolidated balance sheets, and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including renewal options determined to be reasonably assured) as a reduction of rent expense. The amortization period used for deferred lease credits is generally consistent with the amortization period used for the constructed leasehold improvement asset for a given location. | |
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives | ' |
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives | |
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, including store equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization is assessed by comparing the net carrying amount of each asset to its total estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. There were no significant impairment losses recognized in our consolidated financial statements in the current or prior fiscal years presented in connection with long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization. | |
Intangible assets subject to amortization include customer relationships, certain distribution rights and non-competition agreements, and are amortized, on a straight-line basis, over periods of one to twelve years. Such amortization periods are based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and take into account the terms of any underlying agreements, but do not generally reflect all renewal terms contractually available to the Company. | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives | ' |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives | |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Our intangible assets with indefinite lives consist of trade names acquired in business combinations. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment at least annually, during our second fiscal quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the value of the asset may be impaired. When assessing goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for potential impairment, management considers whether the value of the asset has been impaired by evaluating if various factors (including current operating results, anticipated future results and cash flows, and relevant market and economic conditions) indicate a possible impairment and, if appropriate, compares the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. | |
Based on management's assessments, after taking into account the economic downturn experienced during the past several years in certain geographic areas in which we operate, there was no material impairment of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives recognized in our financial statements in the current or prior fiscal years presented. | |
Deferred Financing Costs | ' |
Deferred Financing Costs | |
Certain costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are capitalized when incurred and are amortized over the estimated term of the related debt instruments or agreements generally using the effective interest method. Such capitalized costs are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed proportionally when certain debt is prepaid or notes are redeemed. | |
Self-Insurance Programs | ' |
Self-Insurance Programs | |
The Company retains a substantial portion of the risk related to certain of its workers' compensation, general and auto liability, and property damage insurable loss exposure. Predetermined loss limits have been arranged with insurance companies to limit the Company's exposure per occurrence and aggregate cash outlay. In addition, certain of our employees and their dependents are covered by a self-insurance program for healthcare benefit purposes. Currently these self-insurance costs (less amounts recovered through payroll deductions) and certain out-of-pocket amounts incurred in connection with the employee healthcare program are funded by the Company. The Company maintains an annual stop-loss insurance policy for the healthcare benefits plan. | |
The Company records an estimated liability for the ultimate cost of claims incurred and unpaid as of the balance sheet date, which includes both claims filed and estimated losses incurred but not yet reported. The Company estimates the ultimate cost based on an analysis of its historical data and actuarial estimates. Workers' compensation, general and auto liability and property damage insurable loss liabilities are recorded at the estimate of their net present value, while healthcare plan liabilities are not discounted. These estimates are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the recorded liability is adequate. The Company believes the amounts accrued at September 30, 2014 and 2013 are adequate. | |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition | |
The Company recognizes sales revenue when a customer consummates a point-of-sale transaction at a store. The cost of sales incentive programs, including customer and consumer coupons, is recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis and are excluded from revenue. The Company also recognizes revenue on merchandise shipped to customers when title and risk of loss pass to the customer (generally upon shipment). Appropriate provisions for sales returns and cash discounts are made at the time the sales are recognized. Sales returns and allowances averaged approximately 2.0% of net sales during each of the past three fiscal years. Please see Note 3, Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes, for more information about the revenue standard recently released, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. | |
Cost of Products Sold and Distribution Expenses | ' |
Cost of Products Sold and Distribution Expenses | |
Cost of products sold and distribution expenses include actual product costs, the cost of transportation to the Company's distribution centers, vendor rebates and allowances, inventory shrinkage and certain shipping and handling costs, such as freight from the distribution centers to the stores and handling costs incurred at the distribution centers. All other shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred. | |
Shipping and Handling | ' |
Shipping and Handling | |
Shipping and handling costs (including freight and distribution expenses) related to delivery to customers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings when incurred and amounted to $52.2 million, $48.5 million and $41.3 million for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |
Advertising Costs | ' |
Advertising Costs | |
Advertising costs relate mainly to print advertisements, digital marketing, trade shows and product education for salon professionals. Advertising costs incurred in connection with print advertisements are expensed the first time the advertisement is run. Other advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs were $90.2 million, $83.9 million and $79.8 million for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings. | |
Vendor Rebates and Concessions | ' |
Vendor Rebates and Concessions | |
The Company deems a cash consideration received from a supplier to be a reduction of the cost of products sold unless it is in exchange for an asset or service or a reimbursement of a specific, incremental, identifiable cost incurred by the Company in selling the vendor's products. The majority of cash consideration received by the Company is considered to be a reduction of the cost of the related products and is reflected in cost of products sold and distribution expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings as the related products are sold. Any portion of such cash consideration received that is attributable to inventory on hand is reflected as a reduction of inventory. | |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes | |
The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are estimated to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized unless it is more-likely-than-not that such assets will be realized in full. The estimated tax benefit of an uncertain tax position is recorded in our financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax position will withstand challenge, if any, from applicable taxing authorities. | |
Foreign Currency | ' |
Foreign Currency | |
The functional currency of each of the Company's foreign operations is generally the respective local currency. Balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars (the Company's reporting currency) at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, while the results of operations and cash flows are generally translated using average exchange rates for the periods presented. Individually material transactions, if any, are translated using the actual rate of exchange on the transaction date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings when incurred and were not significant in any of the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements. | |
