    Company Introduces Fiscal 2021 Outlook

    SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Olaplex Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OLPX) (“OLAPLEX” or the “Company”), an innovative, science-enabled, technology-driven beauty company, focused on delivering its patent-protected premium hair care products to professional hair salons, retailers, and everyday consumers, today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

    JuE Wong, OLAPLEX’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We delivered an outstanding third quarter highlighted by significant growth across our key financial metrics, reflecting the power of our disruptive business model focused on improving hair health with great products backed by science.   Our third quarter net sales increase of 81% year-over-year was fueled by broad-based strength for our OLAPLEX regimen across our omnichannel distribution globally and a favorable response to our new product introductions.   During the quarter, we also marked a milestone for our company as we completed our initial public offering.   I want to thank our entire team and partners for their hard work and dedication toward this significant event.   As we look ahead, we believe OLAPLEX is well positioned for long term growth.   I am extremely proud of our passionate and devoted team that continues to contribute to our performance this quarter and look forward to continuing our successful growth as a public company for the benefit of all OLAPLEX stakeholders.”

    For the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020:

    • Net sales increased 81% to $161.6 million reflecting strong growth across all channels of distribution driven by increased velocity of existing products, the launch of new products, and the addition of new customers, both in the U.S. and Internationally.
      By channel:
      • Professional increased 57.6% to $75.0 million, or 46.4% of net sales
      • Specialty Retail grew 128.1% to $46.3 million, or 28.7% of net sales
      • Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) rose 86.9% to $40.3 million, or 24.9% of net sales;
    • Gross profit increased 103% to $127.5 million and gross margin increased 870 basis points to 78.9%;
    • Adjusted gross profit increased 78% to $129.2 million, or an adjusted gross margin of 79.9%.   This compares to adjusted gross profit of $72.6 million, or an adjusted gross margin of 81.2%, in the third quarter of 2020.  
    • Net income increased 99.9% to $56.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share compared to $0.04 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020;
    • Adjusted net income was $74.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted net income of $45.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the 2020 third quarter; and
    • Adjusted EBITDA increased 63.3% to $106.8 million, or 66.1% of net sales, compared to $65.4 million, or 73.1% in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter this year was negatively impacted by $4.3 million, or 265 basis points, expressed as a percentage of sales, due to incremental costs related to accelerated vesting of cash-settled unit awards and the re-valuation of non-vested cash-settled unit awards for non-executive employees due to the valuation of the Company at the time of the initial public offering.

    Adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA are measures that are not calculated or presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). For more information about how we use these non-GAAP financial measures in our business, the limitations of these measures, and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see "Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Measures" and the reconciliation tables that accompany this release.

    Initial Public Offering and Basis of Presentation

    On October 4, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering of 73,700,000 shares of its common stock (the “IPO”). All shares sold in the IPO were sold by certain existing stockholders of the Company at a public offering price of $21 per share.    The selling stockholders received net proceeds of approximately $1.466 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. Th Company’s shares began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on September 30, 2021 under the ticker symbol “OLPX”.   On October 8, 2021, the selling stockholders sold 11,055,000 additional shares of common stock pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares at the initial public offering price of $21 per share.   The selling shareholders received net proceeds of approximately $220 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, for the sale of these additional shares. OLAPLEX did not receive any proceeds from the sales of the shares by the selling stockholders.  

    The financial statements for prior periods give effect to the Reorganization, discussed in final prospectus dated September 29, 2021 related to the IPO, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 1, 2021 (the “Prospectus”), including the exchange of all 960,184 units of Penelope Group Holdings, L.P. for an aggregate of 648,124,642 shares of common stock of Olaplex Holdings, Inc., which is equivalent to an overall exchange ratio of one-for-675. All share and earnings per share amounts presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if they occurred in all prior periods presented.

    Partial Early Release of IPO Lock-Up Agreements

    Pursuant to the terms of the lock-up agreements entered into by OLAPLEX’s equity holders, executive officers and directors with the underwriters of OLAPLEX’s initial public offering, the lock-up restrictions will end with respect to 15% of the shares (including shares underlying vested stock options) subject to each lockup agreement if certain share price and other conditions are met.

    Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance GAAP, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, and Adjusted diluted EPS. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of its historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures is helpful to investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of the Company’s business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating its operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

    The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain additional non-cash and other items that management does not consider in its evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company’s core operations. These items include IPO and strategic transition costs, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, tax receivable agreement liability adjustments and other one-time expenses. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income adjusted for the impact of certain additional non-cash and other items that management does not consider in its evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company’s core operations. These items include amortization of intangible assets, IPO and strategic transition costs, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, tax receivable agreement liability adjustments and other one-time expenses.   The Company defines adjusted diluted EPS as adjusted net income divided by fully diluted shares outstanding. We calculate adjusted gross profit as gross profit, adjusted to exclude: (1) fair value inventory step-up adjustment amortization and (2) amortization of patented formulations, pertaining to the Acquisition. We calculate adjusted gross profit margin by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales.

    Please refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Equivalents” located in the financial supplement in this release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP metrics to their most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.

    This release includes forward-looking guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income.   The Company is not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, a reconciliation of the guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure that would be necessary for such reconciliations, including (a) income tax related accruals given currently proposed legislative changes and other one-time items, (b) impacts to our Tax Receivable Agreement liability that would arise from proposed legislative changes (c) certain professional fees, and (c) other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations. These adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond our control and as a result we are also unable to predict their probable significance. Therefore, because management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results in accordance with GAAP, it is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures included in its 2021 guidance.
