NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Olaplex Holdings, Inc. (“Olaplex Holdings” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on June 8, 2021. Olaplex Holdings is organized as a holding company and operates indirectly through Olaplex, Inc., its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, which conducts business under the name “Olaplex”. Olaplex is a foundational health and beauty company powered by breakthrough innovation that starts with and is inspired by the professional hairstylist. Olaplex’s products are designed to enable professional hairstylists and their clients to achieve their best results and to provide consumers with a holistic hair regimen that starts by establishing a foundation for healthy hair.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) with all intercompany balances and transactions eliminated, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited, interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements furnished reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. The unaudited, interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Estimates and Assumptions
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Examples of estimates and assumptions include: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, variable consideration, and other obligations such as product returns, allowance for promotions, and refunds; loss contingencies; the fair value of share-based options; the fair value of and/or potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets for the Company’s reporting unit; the fair value of the Company’s 2024 Interest Rate Cap (as defined in “Note 5 - Fair Value Measurement”); useful lives of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets; estimated income tax expense and tax payments; future payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement; and the net realizable value of, and demand for the Company’s inventory. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements established a framework for measuring fair value and established a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of its marketable securities.
Level 2—Observable quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and observable quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
9
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity. The Company’s long-term debt is recorded at its carrying value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which may differ from fair value. The Company’s 2024 Interest Rate Cap is recorded at its Level 2 fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, the Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement under which the Company will be required to pay to the Pre-IPO Stockholders 85% of the federal, state or local tax cash savings that the Company actually realizes on its taxable income following the IPO, as a result of the amortization of intangible assets and capitalized transaction costs that existed as of the date of the IPO. Under the Tax Receivable Agreement, generally the Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15 % of the applicable tax savings.
The Tax Receivable Agreement liability is calculated based on current tax laws and the assumption that the Company and its subsidiaries will earn sufficient taxable income to realize the full tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Updates to the Company’s blended state tax rate, allocation of U.S. versus foreign sourced income may impact the established liability and changes to that established liability would be recorded to other expense (income) in the period the Company made the determination regarding the applicable change. The Company expects that future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement relating to the Pre-IPO Tax Assets could aggregate to $ 189.3 million, with payments expected to continue through 2041. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which began in the year ended December 31, 2022, are not conditioned upon the parties’ continued ownership of equity in the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). This update also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects this update to impact its disclosures in the notes to its financial statements but does not anticipate any effect on its Consolidated Results of Operations, Cash Flows or financial condition.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. This rule will require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in annual reports. On April 4, 2024, the SEC determined to voluntarily stay the final rule pending completion of a judicial review of certain legal challenges. In March 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the final rule. The Company is currently monitoring the legal challenges and evaluating the potential impact of the final rule to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” which is intended to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expense captions into specified categories in the notes to the financial statements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 3 – NET SALES
The Company distributes products in the U.S. and internationally through professional distributors in salons (“professional”), directly to retailers for sale in their physical stores and on their e-commerce sites (“specialty retail”), and direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) through sales to third-party e-commerce customers and through its own Olaplex.com website.
10
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company’s net sales by its three sales channels, professional, specialty retail and DTC, were as follows:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
2025 2024
Net sales by Channel:
Professional $ 34,538  $ 38,746 
Specialty retail 38,553  34,432 
DTC 23,887  25,728 
Total net sales $ 96,978  $ 98,906 
Net sales by major geographic region are based on the shipping address on record for the customer purchasing the Company’s products. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company’s net sales to consumers in the United States and International regions were as follows:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
2025 2024
Net sales by Geography:
United States $ 49,161  $ 48,845 
International 47,817  50,061 
Total net sales $ 96,978  $ 98,906 
No international country exceeded 10% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024. Despite our customers’ geographic location, the majority of net sales are transacted in U.S. Dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency.
NOTE 4 – INVENTORY
Inventory as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following:
March 31,
2025		 December 31,
2024
Raw materials $ 21,709  $ 20,440 
Finished goods 57,472  54,725 
Inventory $ 79,181  $ 75,165 
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s allowance for excess and obsolete inventory was $ 15.9 million and $ 15.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company recorded inventory write-offs of $ 1.1 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively, due to reserves for product obsolescence.
NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value measurements are established utilizing a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; Level 2, defined as observable quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and observable quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of its marketable securities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
On August 11, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate cap transaction (the “2022 Interest Rate Cap”) in connection with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, with a notional amount of $400.0 million at a strike rate of 4.00%. The 2022 Interest Rate Cap expired on July 31, 2024.
11
In advance of the expiration of the 2022 Interest Rate Cap, on May 7, 2024, the Company entered into a second interest rate cap transaction (the “2024 Interest Rate Cap” and, together with the 2022 Interest Rate Cap, the “Interest Rate Caps”) in connection with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, with a notional amount of $400.0  million, amortizing to $200.0 million on July 31, 2025, at a strike rate of 5.00%. The 2024 Interest Rate Cap expires on July 31, 2026.
The 2024 Interest Rate Cap is measured at fair value on a recurring basis by a third-party specialist using widely accepted valuation techniques. The fair value of the 2024 Interest Rate Cap is determined using a modification of the Black’s model, known as the shifted lognormal model. The variable interest rates used in the calculation are based on future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The specialist incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the 2024 Interest Rate Cap fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the 2024 Interest Rate Cap utilize Level 3 inputs. The Company has determined that the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to the 2024 Interest Rate Cap were not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the 2024 Interest Rate Cap as of March 31, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024 was classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and subject to fair value disclosure requirements at March 31, 2025 were as follows:

(1) As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any outstanding amounts drawn on the 2022 Revolver, including letters of credit and swingline loan sub-facilities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $150 million of available borrowing capacity under the 2022 Revolver.
The 2022 Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict Olaplex, Inc.’s ability to (subject to certain exceptions) (i) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase its capital stock, (ii) prepay, redeem, or repurchase certain indebtedness, (iii) incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, (iv) create or incur liens, (v) engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions, (vi) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, (vii) make investments, acquisitions, loans or advances and (viii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The 2022 Credit Agreement also includes, among other things, customary affirmative covenants (including reporting covenants) and events of default (including a change of control) for facilities of this type, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement. In addition, the 2022 Credit Agreement includes a springing first lien leverage ratio financial covenant, which is applicable only to the lenders under the 2022 Revolver. The Company was in compliance with these affirmative and negative covenants as of March 31, 2025. The 2022 Term Loan Facility and the 2022 Revolver are secured by substantially all of the assets of Olaplex, Inc. and the other guarantors, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds.
The interest rate on outstanding debt under the 2022 Term Loan Facility was 7.9% per annum as of March 31, 2025. The interest rates for all facilities under the 2022 Credit Agreement are calculated based upon the Company’s election among (a) adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) (subject to a 0.50 % floor with respect to the 2022 Term Loan Facility, and a 0% floor with respect to the 2022 Revolver) plus an additional interest rate spread, (b) with respect to a borrowing in Euros under the 2022 Revolver, a euro interbank offered rate (subject to a 0% floor) plus an additional interest rate spread, or (c) an “Alternate Base Rate” (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement) (subject to a 1.50 % floor with respect to the 2022 Term Loan Facility, and a 1.00% floor with respect to the 2022 Revolver) plus an additional interest rate spread.
Interest expense, inclusive of debt amortization, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $ 13.7 million and $ 14.5 million, respectively.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on the market value of its long-term debt instrument. Based on the inputs used to value the long-term debt, the Company’s long-term debt is categorized within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2025, the carrying amount, excluding debt issuance costs, and estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $ 654.8 million and $572.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount, excluding debt issuance costs, and estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $656.4 million and $ 620.3 million, respectively.

On May 1, 2025, the Company voluntarily repaid $300.0 million of outstanding principal on the 2022 Term Loan Facility. The repayment was funded using available cash on hand and did not result in prepayment penalties or fees.

Interest Rate Cap Transactions
The Company’s results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement, including the 2022 Term Loan Facility. The Company may, from time to time, utilize interest rate derivatives in an effort to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. See further discussion in “Note 5 - Fair Value Measurement.”
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s 2024 Interest Rate Cap generated an immaterial unrecognized pre-tax gain, recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the same period, the Company also recognized $0.2  million of interest expense related to amortization of the interest rate cap premium paid by the Company in connection with the 2024 Interest Rate Cap.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s 2022 Interest Rate Cap generated an unrecognized pre-tax loss of $0.5  million, recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the same period, the Company also recognized a $ 1.4 million reduction in interest expense related the Company’s receipt of funds as a result of the interest rate cap settlements with the Company’s counterparty, partially offset by $0.3  million of interest expense related to amortization of the interest rate cap premium paid by the Company in connection with the 2022 Interest Rate Cap.
The Company performed an initial effectiveness assessment on the Interest Rate Caps and determined them each to be an effective hedge of the cash flows related to the interest rate payments on the 2022 Term Loan Facility. The hedge is evaluated qualitatively on a quarterly basis for effectiveness. For derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into Interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy election. Payments of the up-front premium of the Interest Rate Caps are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets and liabilities within the cash flows from operating activities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it hold or issue leveraged derivative instruments. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to interest rate fluctuations, the Company exposes itself to counterparty credit risk. The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of the applicable contracts.
NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate was 47.2 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 25.3 % for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to discrete tax expenses for a change in prior year estimates, write-off of deferred tax assets associated with net shortfalls upon vesting of restricted stock units, forfeitures of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units and the impact of those items on the lower book income for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differs from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a discrete tax expense for interest associated with income taxes, the effect of state income taxes and a discrete tax expense from restricted stock units vested during that period, partially offset by the foreign derived intangible income deduction, which results in income from the Company’s sales to foreign customers being taxed at a lower effective tax rate.
NOTE 10 – EQUITY
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued 1,485,913 shares of its common stock, of which 692,681 shares were issued as a result of stock options exercised and 793,232 shares were issued upon vesting of restricted stock units.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 551,742 shares of its common stock, of which 225,566 shares were issued as a result of stock options exercised and 326,176 shares were issued upon vesting of restricted stock units.
15
NOTE 11 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In August 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Pacvue Corporation, an e-commerce advertising and software company, in which certain investment funds affiliated with Advent International, L.P. (“Advent”), the holder of a majority of the Company’s common stock (collectively the “Advent Funds”), hold a greater than 10% equity interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, payments to Pacvue Corporation were de minimis and $0.2 million, respectively, for digital media services, which were negotiated on an arm’s length basis and on market terms.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, the Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the Pre-IPO Stockholders. See further discussion in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Tax Receivable Agreement.” The Company did not make any payments pursuant to the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement during either the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.
NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
Purchase commitments are comprised of the Company’s commitments for contracted goods and services arising in the ordinary course of business. These commitments are generally short-term in nature and are recorded as liabilities when the related goods are received or services rendered.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict with reasonable assurance the outcome of these legal actions brought against the Company as they are subject to uncertainties. Accordingly, any settlement or resolution in these legal actions may occur and affect the Company’s net income in such period as the settlement or resolution.

Pending Legal Proceedings
On November 17, 2022, a putative securities class action was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Lilien v. Olaplex Holdings, Inc. et al., No. 2:22-cv-08395. A consolidated complaint was filed on April 28, 2023, which names as additional defendants the underwriters for the Company’s IPO and various stockholders that sold shares of common stock of the Company in the IPO. The action is brought on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock in or traceable to the Company’s IPO and asserts claims under Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The action seeks certification of the putative class, compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other relief that the court determines is appropriate. The defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint on July 19, 2023. The court held hearings on the defendants’ motions to dismiss on October 16, 2023 and July 1, 2024. On August 23, 2024, the court issued an order staying the action pending the United States Supreme Court’s resolution of the appeal in Facebook, Inc., et al. v. Amalgamated Bank, et al., No. 23-980. On November 22, 2024, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal as improvidently granted, leading to the stay of the Lilien action being lifted. On February 7, 2025, the court issued a decision on the defendants’ motions to dismiss, granting the motions in part and denying them in part. Specifically, the court granted the motions filed by the underwriter and stockholder defendants but denied the motion to dismiss filed by the Company and the director and officer defendants. On April 3, 2025, the court set a hearing on class certification for July 21, 2025, a pretrial conference for September 29, 2025 and a trial start date for October 14, 2025. The underwriter defendants previously notified the Company of their intent to seek indemnification from the Company pursuant to the IPO underwriting agreement regarding the claims asserted in this action. The Company intends to vigorously defend the pending lawsuit.
On November 15, 2023, a purported derivative action was filed against the Company, Advent International Corporation, and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Ciuffo v. Dagousset, et al., No. 2:23-cv-09712-SVW-SK. This action is premised on allegations similar to those asserted in the Lilien federal securities litigation. Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as an award of monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. On February 1, 2024, the parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the purported derivative action pending a decision on the motions to dismiss filed in the Lilien federal securities action.
16
On March 22, 2024, a second purported derivative action was filed against the Company, Advent International Corporation, and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Hutchinson v. Advent International Corporation, et al., No. 2:24-cv-02364. This action is premised on allegations similar to those asserted in the Lilien federal securities litigation and in the Ciuffo federal derivative action and seeks similar relief to that sought in Ciuffo. On April 19, 2024, the parties in both purported derivative actions filed a joint stipulation to consolidate the two derivative actions into the first filed docket (No. 2:23 cv-09712-SVW-SK), and to stay proceedings in the consolidated case, which the court granted on June 26, 2024. On March 17, 2025, the court held a status conference with the parties, during which the court ordered that the stay in the action shall remain in effect pending resolution of the Lilien action.
On February 9, 2023, twenty-eight plaintiffs filed Albahae, et al. v. Olaplex Holdings, Inc., et al., No. 2:23-cv-00982, a complaint alleging personal and economic injury and asserting claims for breach of warranty, negligence/gross negligence, products liability, unjust enrichment, and violations of California False Advertising Law and Unfair Competition Law, against the Company and Cosway Company, Inc., the Company’s primary contract manufacturer, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On March 2, 2023, the plaintiffs amended the complaint to include seventy-three additional plaintiffs. The plaintiffs allege that certain ingredients used in some Company products have purportedly caused irritation or posed a hazard to consumers, and that the Company engaged in misrepresentation with respect to those products. The plaintiffs seek actual and consequential damages, punitive damages, restitution in the form of disgorgement of profits, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other relief that the court determines is appropriate. On April 17, 2023, the Company moved to dismiss and to sever the plaintiffs’ claims. On July 11, 2023, the Court granted the Company’s motion to sever and dismissed all but the first named plaintiff. The Court also dismissed the operative complaint with leave to re-file on the grounds that it now contained allegations that were not relevant to the claims of the one, remaining plaintiff. On July 24, 2023, the remaining plaintiff filed a notice, voluntarily dismissing her claims without prejudice. As of the date of issuance of these unaudited, interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, none of the plaintiffs have re-filed their claims.
Any potential loss associated with these pending legal proceedings is not probable or reasonably estimable at this time.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was not subject to any other currently pending legal matters or claims that could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.

NOTE 14 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company sells haircare products through three sales channels: professional, specialty retail and DTC. The Company does not have intersegment revenues. See further discussion in “Note 3 - Net Sales” for more information. The Company manages its business on the basis of its three sales channels that are part of a single operating segment and, therefore, a single reportable segment.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses the Company’s performance based on net income that is also reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding how to reinvest profits into the Company as well as in assessing performance of the segment.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited, interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from management’s expectations as a result of various factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report and in “Item 1A. - Risk Factors” in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Company Overview
OLAPLEX is a foundational health and beauty company powered by breakthrough innovation that starts with and is inspired by the professional stylist (“Pro”). Our products are designed to enable Pros and their clients to achieve their best results, and to provide consumers with a holistic hair regimen that starts by establishing a foundation for healthy hair.
In 2014, OLAPLEX revolutionized the haircare category through the introduction of our patent-protected bond-building technology, Bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate (“Bis-amino”), in our No. 1 Bond Multiplier® and No. 2 Bond Perfector® products. This new two-part salon treatment allowed Pros around the world to repair disulfide bonds deep inside the hair that are broken during chemical services (such as coloring, perming and straightening). Later in 2014, OLAPLEX launched an at-home version of this signature bond-building treatment, No. 3 Hair Perfector®, allowing consumers to achieve the benefits of OLAPLEX beyond the salon. By the end of 2015, OLAPLEX products were sold globally, demonstrating the relevance of the product and brand proposition around the world. From our original three bond-building products, we expanded to a range of products suitable across hair types for use in the salon and at home.
Since our inception, we have focused on delivering patent-protected technology and proven performance in the prestige haircare category. From our origins of creating the bond-building space, our product portfolio has expanded to 25 products that support the hair health needs of our Pro and consumer communities.
We have a synergistic omnichannel model that leverages the strength of each of our channels and our strong digital capabilities, which we apply across all of our sales platforms. Our professional channel serves as the foundation for our brand. Through this channel, Pros introduce consumers to our products and, we believe, influence consumer purchasing decisions. Our specialty retail channel allows us to build our brand by reinforcing our relationship with current consumers and accessing new consumers. Our direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel, comprised of Olaplex.com and sales through third-party e-commerce platforms, further broadens our access to consumers, while allowing us to directly engage with and educate consumers through our owned platforms.
Our Strategy
In 2025, we are focused on the following three strategic priorities.
Generate Brand Demand
Our marketing strategy seeks to celebrate the passion and creativity of our Pros, as well as our breakthrough scientific innovations and technologies. We are focused on elevating our visual brand identity and communicating the unique benefits of Olaplex products to Pros and consumers. We seek to implement a 360-degree full funnel marketing approach to generate consumer demand, leveraging a creator-led point of view and product messaging that focuses on healthy hair from root to tip. We aim to execute on our Pro-first strategy by improving education, enhancing our presence among the Pro community, and elevating our Pro brand ambassadors and influencers.
19
Harness Innovation
We seek to build a future pipeline of innovation that is grounded in foundational hair health. We are focused on continuing to innovate beyond damage repair to unlock what we believe are key signs of healthy hair: strength and elasticity, shine and sheen, smoothness and frizz control, softness and moisturization, and shape retention and integrity. We seek to continue to introduce breakthrough science while expanding our product portfolio and reinvigorating our signature products to drive overall brand demand.
Execute with Excellence
We will continue to evolve and refine our operational and strategic processes, realign our international partnerships and seek efficiencies across our organization in support of growth. We have evolved our integrated business planning process and strategic planning procedure. We are currently in the process of realigning our international distribution network, and we are focused on enhancing our ongoing international partnerships and introducing and executing regional specific strategies to service our customers. We will increasingly use data, insights and a results-oriented mindset as we look to grow our brand and business in the future.
Business Environment & Trends
We continue to monitor the effects of the increasingly unpredictable global macro-economic environment, including the risk of recession, inflationary pressures, competitive products and discounting, currency volatility, high interest rates, social and political issues, geopolitical tensions, regulatory matters and changes to tariffs and trade policies of the United States and other countries. Based on policies in place as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report, we expect the most recent changes in tariffs and trade policies will have a relatively modest impact on our business since the vast majority of our products sold in the U.S. are sourced and manufactured domestically. However, related uncertainties could impact consumer discretionary spending, demand for our products and inventory at our customers. We also are mindful of inflationary pressures on our consumers amidst an increasingly competitive industry, and we are monitoring the impact that consumer confidence may have on consumer spending at our customers.
Competition in the beauty industry is based on a variety of factors, including innovation, product efficacy, pricing, brand recognition and loyalty, service to the consumer, promotional activities, advertising, special events, new product introductions, e-commerce initiatives, sustainability and other activities. We have seen increased competitive activity including discounting in the prestige haircare category. We believe we have a well-recognized and strong reputation within the beauty industry, from our customers to the end-consumer, and that the quality and performance of our products, our emphasis on science-based innovation, our asset-light operating model, and our engagement with our Pro and consumer communities position us to compete effectively.

Total Net sales $ 96,978  $ 98,906  $ (1,928) (1.9) %
Total net sales decreased 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily attributed to a lower level of consumer demand. This decline was partially offset by the impact of product launches since the three months ended March 31, 2024, as well as the impact of new customers within each channel. Net sales declined in certain international markets, partially offset by an increase in the United States.

Income tax provision $ 416  $ 2,623  $ (2,207) (84.1) %
Our effective tax rate was 47.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 25.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to discrete tax expenses for a change in prior year estimates, write-off of deferred tax assets associated with net shortfalls upon vesting of restricted stock units, forfeitures of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units and the impact of those items on the lower book income for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the effective tax rate was higher than the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a discrete tax expense for interest associated with income taxes, the effect of state income taxes and a discrete tax expense from restricted stock units vested during that period, partially offset by the foreign derived intangible income deduction, which results in income from our sales to foreign customers being taxed at a lower effective tax rate.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary recurring source of cash is the collection of proceeds from the sale of our products to our customers, including cash periodically collected in advance of delivery or performance.
Our primary use of cash is for working capital and payment of our operating costs, which consist primarily of employee-related expenses as well as general operating expenses for marketing, fulfillment costs of customer orders, overhead costs, innovation, capital expenditures and debt servicing. We also utilize cash for strategic investments. Fluctuations in working capital are primarily caused by customer demand for our products, timing of when a retailer rearranges or restocks our products, timing of inventory purchases, and the amount and timing of our payables and expenses, including to implement our business transformation plan. We expect to generate less cash from operations in the current year, as compared to the prior year, as we fund working capital needs required to grow our business. Capital expenditures typically vary and are currently limited, and future capital expenditure requirements depend on strategic initiatives selected for the fiscal year, including investments in infrastructure and expansion of our customer base. We also expect that our legal costs associated with the Lilien federal securities class action litigation will increase as we prepare for a trial start date scheduled in October 2025. See further discussion in “Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies – Pending Legal Proceedings” in the Notes to the unaudited, interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report.
Although international markets represented 49% of our net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the majority of our bank deposits are held within the U.S.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $580.9 million of cash and cash equivalents. In addition, as of March 31, 2025, we had borrowing capacity of $150.0 million under the 2022 Revolver, providing us with a liquidity position of $730.9 million plus $57.4 million of working capital excluding cash and cash equivalents for a combined $788.3 million total liquidity position.
On May 1, 2025, we voluntarily repaid $300.0 million of outstanding principal on the 2022 Term Loan Facility. The repayment was funded using available cash on hand and did not result in prepayment penalties or fees. We continually evaluate our capital structure to maintain financial flexibility.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) 2025 2024
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ (2,917) $ 43,707 
Investing activities (996) (1,084)
Financing activities (1,161) (1,517)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents $ (5,074) $ 41,106 
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily reflecting our net income of $0.5 million, net of non-cash cost items and changes in operating working capital. Non-cash adjustments were primarily driven by amortization of other intangibles of $10.9 million, share-based compensation expense of $2.9 million and amortization of patent formulations of $2.4 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased cash provided by operating activities by $21.4 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $43.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily reflecting our net income of $7.7 million, net of non-cash cost items and changes in operating working capital. Non-cash adjustments were primarily driven by amortization of other intangibles of $11.3 million, share-based compensation expense of $3.2 million, and amortization of patent formulations of $2.2 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities increased cash provided by operating activities by $17.8 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily reflecting investments of $0.9 million related to the purchase and development of software.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, reflecting investments of $0.6 million related to the purchase and development of software and purchases of property and equipment of $0.5 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisting of $1.7 million of principal payments for the 2022 Term Loan Facility, partially offset by proceeds of $0.5 million from stock option exercises.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, consisting of $1.7 million of principal payments for the 2022 Term Loan Facility, partially offset by proceeds of $0.2 million from stock option exercises.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet anticipated operating costs, required payments of principal and interest, working capital needs, ordinary course capital expenditures, and other commitments over both the short term (the next twelve months) and long term.
24
If necessary, we may borrow funds under our 2022 Revolver to finance our liquidity requirements, subject to customary borrowing conditions. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to meet our operating, investing and financing needs depends, to a significant extent, on our future financial performance, which will be subject in part to general economic, competitive, financial, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, including those described in “Item 1A. - Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K. In addition to these general economic and industry factors, the principal factors in determining whether our cash flows will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements will be consumer demand for our products and our ability to continue providing innovative products to our customers and manage production and our supply chain.
2022 Credit Facility
As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding indebtedness under the 2022 Credit Agreement of $654.8 million, of which $6.8 million was classified as current. As of March 31, 2025, we had $150.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the 2022 Revolver.
The interest rate on outstanding amounts under the 2022 Term Loan Facility was 7.9% per annum as of March 31, 2025. We have not drawn on the 2022 Revolver as of March 31, 2025. The 2022 Term Loan Facility is repayable in mandatory quarterly installments equal to $1.7 million, with the balance payable at maturity. The maturity date of the 2022 Term Loan Facility is February 23, 2029, and the maturity date of the 2022 Revolver is February 23, 2027.
The 2022 Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to (subject to certain exceptions) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase its capital stock, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, engage in mergers or consolidations and sell or otherwise dispose of assets. The 2022 Credit Agreement also includes reporting, financial and maintenance covenants, including a springing first lien leverage ratio financial covenant. The Company was in compliance with these affirmative and negative covenants on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Substantially all the assets of the Company constitute collateral under the 2022 Credit Agreement.
In order to limit our exposure to potential increases in future interest rates related to the 2022 Term Loan Facility, on August 11, 2022, we entered into the 2022 Interest Rate Cap in connection with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, with a notional amount of $400.0 million at a strike rate of 4.00%. The 2022 Interest Rate Cap expired on July 31, 2024.
On May 7, 2024, in advance of the expiration of the 2022 Interest Rate Cap, we entered into the 2024 Interest Rate Cap in connection with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, with a notional amount of $400.0 million, amortizing to $200.0 million on July 31, 2025, at a strike rate of 5.00%. The 2024 Interest Rate Cap expires on July 31, 2026. We have designated the interest rate caps as cash-flow hedges for accounting purposes.

On May 1, 2025, we voluntarily repaid $300.0 million of outstanding principal on the 2022 Term Loan Facility. The repayment was funded using available cash on hand and did not result in prepayment penalties or fees.
See “Note 8 - Long-Term Debt” in the Notes to the unaudited, interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Tax Receivable Agreement Obligations
In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement under which we will be required to pay to the Pre-IPO Stockholders 85% of the federal, state or local tax cash savings that we actually realize on our taxable income following the IPO, as a result of the amortization of intangible assets and capitalized transaction costs that existed as of the transaction date. Under the Tax Receivable Agreement, generally we will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of the applicable tax savings.
The Tax Receivable Agreement liability is calculated based on current tax laws and the assumption that we and our subsidiaries earn sufficient taxable income to realize the full tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Updates to our blended state tax rate, allocation of U.S. versus foreign sourced income and changes in tax rules on the amortization and depreciation of assets may significantly impact the established liability and changes would be recorded to other (expense) income in the period we made the determination. We expect that future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement relating to the Pre-IPO tax assets could aggregate to $189.3 million, with payments expected to continue through 2041. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which began in the year ended December 31, 2022, are not conditioned upon the Pre-IPO Stockholders maintaining a continued ownership of equity in the Company.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There were no material changes to our contractual obligations since the filing of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our unaudited, interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect amounts reported in our unaudited, interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes at the date of the financial statements. We evaluate our accounting estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. For additional detail regarding our critical accounting estimates, see our discussion for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2025, except as noted below.
Goodwill
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Our impairment evaluation of goodwill consists of a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required, and goodwill is not impaired. Our qualitative assessment considers factors including changes in the competitive market, budget-to-actual performance, trends in market capitalization for us and our peers, turnover in key management personnel and overall changes in the macroeconomic environment.

We performed a quantitative assessment as of October 1, 2024 and it was concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 19%. No impairment of goodwill was recorded.

We estimated the fair value of our reporting unit using a combination of an income approach and a market approach, which were both weighted equally. The fair value measurements are based on unobservable inputs, with key assumptions including, but not limited to, our forecasted future operating cash flows, terminal growth rates, market multiples, and discount rates. To determine the fair value of our reporting unit, we have used expected growth rates that are in line with expected market growth rates. The terminal value was calculated assuming a projected growth rate of 3.0%. These rates reflect our estimate of long-term growth into perpetuity and approximate the long-term gross domestic product growth expected on a global basis. The estimated weighted-average cost of capital for the reporting unit was determined to be 11.0%. Certain future events and circumstances, including deterioration of market conditions, decline in our stock price, higher cost of capital, and a decline in actual and expected consumer consumption and demands, could result in changes to these assumptions and judgments. A downward revision of these assumptions could cause the fair values of our single reporting unit to fall below its respective carrying value and we may be required to record a goodwill impairment charge.

We believe the assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair value of the reporting units are reasonable and attainable. However, we may not achieve such results and may need to recognize impairment of goodwill in the future due to other market conditions or changes in our interest rates. Recognition of impairment of a significant portion of our goodwill would negatively affect our reported results of our operations.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company continues to monitor all of the assumptions used in the impairment test performed in 2024 and has not identified a triggering event. If these assumptions change in the future, given the global economic uncertainty or other matters, including a continued decline in stock price, the Company may be required to record a goodwill impairment charge.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures or management of market risk from those disclosed in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included under Item 7A in the 2024 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including, as appropriate, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
