    W&M-M-196 ULTA BEAUTY1 Introduction Ulta announced record-breaking financial performance in the third quarter of FY2016. Revenues increased by 24.2 percent to $1.131 billion, while comparable sales and transactions grew by 16.7 and 11.1 percent, respectively. The retailer had consistently grown revenues by greater than 20 percent since FY2010. During this time, Ulta had also increased net income from 3.2 percent in FY2009 to 8.2 percent in FY2015, through careful management of SG&A expenses, which had dropped from 24.7 percent in FY2009 to 22 percent in FY2015. Further financial information is found in Exhibit 1. As a result, shares of Ulta grew 38 percent in 2016, exceeding the S&P 500 by approximately four times during the same period1. In 2015, Ulta became the largest beauty specialist retailer in the U.S. Ulta was uniquely positioned in the marketplace by offering both mass brands (e.g., CoverGirl, Maybelline) and prestige brands (e.g., Lancome, Clinique).2 According to Fabian Garcia, CEO of Revlon, Ulta “has completely debunked the old notion that you were either prestige or mass. The fact that Ulta challenged the old paradigm is a good enough proof that the world is moving.”3 Brian Yarbrough, an analyst at Edward Jones & Company, agreed by stating that, “they are changing the way people shop as they have allowed people to buy both mass and prestige, as well as get salon, brow and other services which historically would have been done at multiple locations. No other retailer offers all three in the same spot.”4 The retailer attracted “beauty enthusiasts”, who were heavy purchasers of beauty products.5 The company estimated that there were 72 million “beauty enthusiasts”.

  • D I S C O V E R T H E DIFFERENCE to FULLER LOOKING LIPS BRIANA BRUMER FOUNDER, LIPSMART
    d I s c o v e r T H E DIFFERENCE TO FULLER LOOKING LIPS BRIANA BRUMER FOUNDER, LIPSMART Briana grew up under the tutelage of her father, renowned inventor and chemist Julius Kay, Founder of Lambert Kay, the premier leader in the nutritional and health care segment of the pet industry. Briana has fostered her involvement in a number of companies, but continues her passion developing in the health and beauty sector. LIPSMART is a testament to her dedication of developing a product that has sustained itself in a competitive market for over 10 years as a leading one product solution. Briana suffered from extreme dry lips and could not find a solution to give her long term relief, she began to research lip ingredients to achieve a moisture restoring effect by stimulating water holding components to compensate for hydration loss. On one hand, LIPSMART boosts the natural water attracting components underneath the lips surface and on the other hand, LIPSMART builds a wall to reserve and lock in the moisture. Through Briana’s leadership, LIPSMART is currently in over 3,000 high-end beauty & spa wellness locations including retail, plastic surgery, dermatology and has also expanded internationally. One of the most rewarding personal outcomes for Briana, has been the positive results experienced by patients suffering with extreme, dry lips undergoing chemotherapy at The Sylvester Cancer Center. LIPSMART received an honorable recognition from the center endorsing the benefits of the treatment and comfort which it provided for their patients. Briana continues her quest to develop new lip solutions to further enhance overall lip quality and appearance.
