Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Olaplex Holdings reported essentially flat fiscal 2025 net sales of $422.96 million, up 0.1%, but results weakened sharply. The company swung to a GAAP net loss of $9.25 million from net income of $19.52 million, while adjusted EBITDA fell to $93.87 million from $129.67 million, with margin down to 22.2% from 30.7%.

Fourth-quarter 2025 net sales rose 4.3% to $105.12 million, driven by 18.9% growth in Professional and 6.6% in Direct-to-Consumer, partly offset by a 14.5% decline in Specialty Retail. However, Q4 GAAP net loss widened to $13.10 million.

The balance sheet showed $318.73 million of cash and cash equivalents and $352.29 million of long-term debt as of December 31, 2025, reflecting substantial debt reduction over the year. For 2026, Olaplex guides net sales between $414 million and $435 million, with adjusted gross margin of 71%–72% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 21%–22%, slightly below 2025 levels.

Positive

  • Substantial debt reduction: Long-term debt (net of current portion) fell to $352.3 million as of December 31, 2025 from $643.7 million a year earlier, supported by $58.7 million of operating cash flow and a $300 million voluntary term-loan repayment.
  • Channel and margin resilience: 2025 net sales in Professional and Direct-To-Consumer grew 5.5% and 3.1%, respectively, and adjusted gross margin edged up to 71.8% from 71.4%, indicating underlying pricing and product economics remain strong.

Negative

  • Profitability deterioration: 2025 results shifted from $19.5 million of net income to a $9.3 million net loss, while adjusted EBITDA dropped 27.6% to $93.9 million and adjusted EBITDA margin declined from 30.7% to 22.2%.
  • Soft outlook and near-term pressure: 2026 guidance calls for net sales of $414–$435 million around the 2025 level and adjusted EBITDA margin of 21–22%, with management expecting first-quarter sales and margins to run below full-year levels.

Insights

Flat sales but a swing to losses and lower 2026 margins mark a challenging reset.

Olaplex kept 2025 revenue essentially flat at $422.96 million, yet profitability deteriorated. GAAP results moved from net income of $19.52 million in 2024 to a net loss of $9.25 million in 2025, and adjusted EBITDA dropped 27.6% to $93.87 million.

Margins compressed meaningfully: adjusted EBITDA margin fell from 30.7% to 22.2%, reflecting higher SG&A, including increased marketing and transformation-related spending. Q4 showed similar pressure, with net sales up 4.3% but adjusted EBITDA down 26.5%.

Guidance for 2026 points to net sales of $414–$435 million versus $423 million in 2025 and adjusted EBITDA margin of 21–22%, slightly below 2025’s 22.2%. Management also highlights first-quarter sales and margins trending below full-year levels as marketing is front loaded and initiatives ramp later in the year.

Profitability fell, but cash generation enabled significant debt paydown.

Despite weaker earnings, Olaplex ended 2025 with a stronger capital structure. Cash and cash equivalents were $318.73 million, down from $585.97 million, but long-term debt (excluding current portion) declined to $352.29 million from $643.71 million.

The company generated $58.66 million of operating cash flow in 2025 and used substantial cash for financing outflows of $313.29 million, including a voluntary $300 million term-loan repayment that triggered a deferred debt issuance cost write-off in the non-GAAP reconciliations.

Leverage risk appears reduced given the nearly halved debt balance and positive operating cash flow, even as net income turned negative. Future performance will depend on executing the transformation plan while sustaining sufficient cash generation to support remaining obligations under the credit agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
The Company's fiscal year 2026 guidance below assumes no material impact from tariffs or the current geopolitical environment. The fiscal year 2026 net sales guidance below also reflects management's expectation that the net sales performance for the first quarter will trend below the expected net sales performance for the full fiscal year 2026, on a percentage basis, with consumer demand expected to be weighted towards the second half of the year as strategic initiatives take effect. Further, management expects that adjusted EBITDA margin in the first quarter will trend significantly below the expected adjusted EBITDA margin for the full fiscal year 2026, as marketing spend is expected to be front loaded in fiscal year 2026.

Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this press release as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements in this press release represent management’s views as of the date hereof. Unless required by law, the Company neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date hereof to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in the Company’s expectations or otherwise.
Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with GAAP, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted net income and adjusted basic and diluted net income per share. 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 facilitate 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 may be 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 calculates adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (1) interest expense, net; (2) income tax provision (benefit); (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) share-based compensation expense; (5) certain litigation-related expenses; (6) acquisition-related costs; (7) executive reorganization costs and (8) Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustments. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net sales. The Company calculates adjusted gross profit as gross profit, adjusted to exclude amortization of patented formulations. The Company calculates adjusted gross profit margin by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales. The Company calculates adjusted SG&A as SG&A, adjusted to exclude: (1) share-based compensation expense; (2) certain litigation-related expenses; (3) acquisition-related costs and (4) executive reorganization costs. The Company calculates adjusted net income as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (1) amortization of intangible assets (excluding software); (2) share-based compensation expense; (3) certain litigation-related expenses; (4) acquisition-related costs; (5) executive reorganization costs; (6) deferred debt issuance costs write-offs; (7) Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustments; and (8) tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. The Company calculates adjusted basic and diluted net income per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding, respectively. Please refer to "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Equivalents" located in the financial supplement in this release for further information regarding these adjustments for the periods presented.
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 margin and adjusted gross profit margin. The Company is not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, a reconciliation of the guidance for adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted gross profit margin 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

4


be necessary for such reconciliations, including (a) costs related to potential debt or equity transactions and (b) other non-recurring expenses that cannot reasonably be estimated in advance. These adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond the Company's control and as a result it is 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 financial measures included in its fiscal year 2026 guidance.

(1)Represents litigation costs related to the Lilien securities class action. The Company considers litigation costs related to the Lilien securities class action, as described in Note 14 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, to be non-recurring and non-ordinary. While the Company did not adjust for these costs during the year ended December 31, 2024 because the amounts incurred in 2024 were not material, commencing with the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company has included an adjustment for these costs as a result of the court's denial of the Company's motion to dismiss in February 2025. The Company believes adjusting for such costs provides investors with meaningful information regarding the Company’s core operating performance.
