Forward Looking Statements

This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company's financial position and operating results, including financial guidance for fiscal year 2022; business plans and objectives; growth and expansion opportunities; the growth and resiliency of the global premium hair care industry; new product innovation; future sales growth and margins; consumer behaviors; inventory levels; anticipated interest expense savings; and other statements contained in this presentation that are not historical facts. When used in this presentation, words such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "intend," "potential," "continue," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "plan," "target," "predict," "project," "seek" and similar expressions as they relate to the Company are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events, are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in forward-looking statements.

The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on management's current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements, including such statements taken from third-party industry and market reports. You should understand that the following important factors could affect the Company's future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements: our ability to execute on our growth strategies and expansion opportunities; increased competition causing us to reduce the prices of our products or to increase significantly our marketing efforts in order to avoid losing market share; our existing and any future indebtedness, including our ability to comply with affirmative and negative covenants under the credit agreement to which we will remain subject to until maturity, and our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all; our dependence on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our net sales; our ability to effectively market and maintain a positive brand image and expand our brand awareness; our ability to attract new customers and encourage consumer spending across our product portfolio; changes in consumer preferences or changes in demand for haircare products or other products we may develop; our ability to accurately forecast consumer demand for our products; our ability to maintain favorable relationships with our suppliers and manage our supply chain, including obtaining and maintaining shipping distribution and raw materials at favorable pricing; our relationships with and the performance of distributors and retailers who sell our products to haircare professionals and other customers; the impact of material cost increases and other inflation and our ability to pass on such increases to our customers; impacts on our business from the sensitivity of our business to unfavorable economic and business conditions; our ability to develop, manufacture and effectively and profitably market and sell future products; failure of markets to accept new product introductions; our ability to attract and retain senior management and other qualified personnel; regulatory changes and developments affecting our current and future products; our ability to service our existing indebtedness and obtain additional capital to finance operations and our growth opportunities; impacts on our business from political, regulatory, economic, trade, and other risks associated with operating internationally including volatility in currency exchange rates, and imposition of tariffs; our ability to establish and maintain intellectual property protection for our products, as well as our ability to operate our business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others; the impact of changes in laws, regulations and administrative policy, including those that limit U.S. tax benefits or impact trade agreements and tariffs; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic; and the other other risks identified under the heading "Risk Factors" in Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 8, 2022, as well as the other information we file with the SEC.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, inherent uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance, time frames or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, time frames or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements.

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 presentation as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements in this presentation represent management's views as of the date on which this presentation was first posted on the Company's investor relations website. Unless required by United States federal securities laws, the Company neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

Market and Industry Data

This presentation includes market and industry data and forecasts that we have derived from independent consultants, publicly available information, various industry publications, other published industry sources and our internal data and estimates. While independent consultant reports, industry publications and other published industry sources generally indicate that the information contained therein was obtained from sources believed to be reliable we have not independently verified such information.

Our internal data and estimates are based upon information obtained from trade and business organizations and other contacts in the markets in which we operate and our management's understanding of industry conditions. Although we believe that such information is reliable, we have not had this information verified by any independent sources. Similarly, our internal research is based upon our understanding of industry conditions, and such information has not been verified by any independent sources. To the extent that any estimates underlying such market-derived information and other factors are incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the independent parties' estimates and in our estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains "non-GAAP financial measures," including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share. These are financial measures that are not calculated or presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company's financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net loss or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used and calculated differently.
