  (the &#147;Company&#148;) occasionally utilizes financial measures and terms not
  calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
  United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;) in order to provide investors with an alternative method
  for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors to more
  thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to past
  performance.&nbsp; We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors
  with a more informed baseline for modeling the Company&#146;s future financial
  performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our management uses these non-GAAP measures for
  the same purpose.&nbsp; We believe that our investors should have access to,
  and that we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in
  analyzing our results.&nbsp; These non-GAAP measures should be considered in
  addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be
  considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.&nbsp; We have provided
  definitions below for certain non-GAAP financial measures, together with an
  explanation of why management uses these measures and why management believes
  that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors.&nbsp; In
  addition, in our Earnings Release we have provided tables to reconcile the
  non-GAAP financial measures utilized to GAAP financial measures.&nbsp; We have </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">provided
  adjusted net earnings and adjusted EPS metrics solely for the purpose of
  adjusting for non-cash interest expense
  from marked-to-market changes in the fair value of the Company&#146;s interest rate
  swaps.&nbsp; Excluding this non-cash marked-to-market adjustment
  provides investors with a better depiction of the Company&#146;s core operating
  results and provides a more informed baseline for modeling future earnings
  expectations.<b>  </b></font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We intend to adjust for all share-based
  compensation expense recognized in accordance with FAS 123R, including stock
  option expense and expense related to restricted shares, when calculating
  certain cash flow measures such as Adjusted EBITDA.&nbsp; The Company believes
  adjusting for all share-based compensation expense is appropriate, as it is a
  non-cash expense, and adjusting is consistent with how a number of debt and
  equity analysts track that measure.</font></p>

  income taxes.&nbsp;&#160; Our management uses
  Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of our businesses
  and believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of our ability
  to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital
  requirements.&nbsp; Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under
  GAAP.&nbsp; Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a
  substitute for net income, operating</font></p>

  remained at positive levels historically, and (iii)&nbsp;how Adjusted EBITDA
  compares to levels of interest expense. We provide a reconciliation of Adjusted
  EBITDA to GAAP Net Earnings.&nbsp; Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but

    financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, issued by Sally
    Beauty Holdings, Inc. on May 8, 2008.

  Appendix
  A
  USE
  OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
  Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc.
  (the "Company") occasionally utilizes financial measures and terms not
  calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
  United States ("GAAP") in order to provide investors with an alternative method
  for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors to more
  thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to past
  performance.  We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors
  with a more informed baseline for modeling the Company's future financial
  performance.    Our management uses these non-GAAP measures for
  the same purpose.  We believe that our investors should have access to,
  and that we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in
  analyzing our results.  These non-GAAP measures should be considered in
  addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be
  considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.  We have provided
  definitions below for certain non-GAAP financial measures, together with an
  explanation of why management uses these measures and why management believes
  that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors.  In
  addition, in our Earnings Release we have provided tables to reconcile the
  non-GAAP financial measures utilized to GAAP financial measures.  We have
  provided
  adjusted net earnings and adjusted EPS metrics solely for the purpose of
  adjusting for non-cash interest expense
  from marked-to-market changes in the fair value of the Company's interest rate
  swaps.  Excluding this non-cash marked-to-market adjustment
  provides investors with a better depiction of the Company's core operating
  results and provides a more informed baseline for modeling future earnings
  expectations.
  We intend to adjust for all share-based
  compensation expense recognized in accordance with FAS 123R, including stock
  option expense and expense related to restricted shares, when calculating
  certain cash flow measures such as Adjusted EBITDA.  The Company believes
  adjusting for all share-based compensation expense is appropriate, as it is a
  non-cash expense, and adjusting is consistent with how a number of debt and
  equity analysts track that measure.
  ADJUSTED
  EBITDA
  We define the measure
  Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP Net Earnings before depreciation and amortization,
  share-based compensation, the Alberto-Culver sales-based corporate overhead
  fees for the period prior to the separation, transaction expenses related to
  the separation and the terminated Regis transaction, interest expense, and
  income taxes.   Our management uses
  Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of our businesses
  and believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of our ability
  to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital
  requirements.  Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under
  GAAP.  Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a
  substitute for net income, operating
  5
  income, cash flow
  provided by (used in) operating activities or other income or cash flow data
  prepared in accordance with GAAP.  When evaluating Adjusted EBITDA,
  investors should consider, among other factors, (i) increasing or
  decreasing trends in Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) whether Adjusted EBITDA has
  remained at positive levels historically, and (iii) how Adjusted EBITDA
  compares to levels of interest expense. We provide a reconciliation of Adjusted
  EBITDA to GAAP Net Earnings.  Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but
  not all, items that affect net earnings and may vary among companies, the
  Adjusted EBITDA presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly
  titled measures of other companies.   Although we believe that Adjusted
  EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to our ability to meet
  our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements,
  our functional or legal requirements may require us to utilize available funds
  for other purposes.
  ADJUSTED
  NET EARNINGS
  This measure consists of
  GAAP Net Earnings, which is then adjusted
  solely for the purpose of
  adjusting for non-cash interest expense
  or income from marked-to-market changes in the fair value of the Company's
  interest rate swaps.  Excluding this non-cash marked-to-market
  adjustment provides investors with a better depiction of the Company's core
  operating results and provides a more informed baseline for modeling future
  earnings expectations.
  We recommend a review of net earnings on both a non-GAAP basis and GAAP basis
  be performed to get a comprehensive view of our results.  We provide a
  reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings to GAAP Net Earnings.
  ADJUSTED
  EARNINGS PER SHARE (ADJUSTED EPS)
  We define this non-GAAP
  financial measure as the portion of the Company's GAAP Net Earnings assigned to
  each share of stock, excluding
  non-cash interest expense or income from marked-to-market changes in the
  fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps
  .
  Excluding this non-cash marked-to-market
  adjustment provides investors with a better depiction of the Company's core
  operating results and provides a more informed baseline for modeling future
  earnings expectations.
  We recommend a review of diluted EPS on both a non-GAAP basis and GAAP basis be
  performed to get a comprehensive view of our results.  We provide a
  reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings to GAAP Net Earnings, as well as
  information on how these share calculations are made.
