(1) Professional beauty supply channel size is a management estimate, based upon a 2010 study of manufacturer-level sales conducted by Professional Consultants & Resources. The study estimates that 2010 manufacturer-level sales for professional beauty supplies were over $4.0 billion. Retail sales of $7.7 billion is calculated using gross margin of 48.9% (from SBH’s actual gross margin in the U.S. for FY2010) as the spread between manufacturer cost and retail sales.
(2) Estimated U.S. channel share calculated as follows: (i) Sally Beauty Supply’s U.S. net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 divided by estimated marketplace size of $7.8 billion and (ii) BSG’s U.S. net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 divided by estimated marketplace size of $7.8 billion.

U.S. professional beauty supply marketplace, in retail dollars, was roughly $7.8 billion in 2010(1)

Drivers of Stable, Positive Comp Trends for SBH
Sally’s “control” brands are higher margin and increasing as a percent of sales
Increasing sales of DIY products as customers delay trips to salons and increase more “at-home” maintenance care purchases
Higher traffic levels and higher average ticket driven by roll-out of CRM marketing efforts
Improving international markets providing growth opportunities
