REGIS CORP

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Regis Corporation (the Company) as of March 31, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and its consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the interim periods. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any discussed in the notes below. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and cash flows for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023 and other documents filed or furnished to the SEC during the current fiscal year.

Goodwill:

The Company assesses goodwill impairment on an annual basis, during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter, and between annual assessments if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. An interim impairment analysis was not required in the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Franchise reporting unit had goodwill of $173.3 million and $173.8 million, respectively.

Reverse stock split:

On November 29, 2023, the Company effected a one-for-20 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, par value $0.05 per share. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 20 shares of common stock issued and outstanding was converted into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split affected all shareholders uniformly and did not alter any shareholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of common stock were instead entitled to receive a proportional cash payment. All common share and per share amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split affected all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s outstanding stock options and stock unit awards. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding and the vesting of stock unit awards outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split and correspondingly increased the respective exercise prices or other price dependent terms.

Tax Benefits Preservation Plan:

On January 28, 2024, the Board authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (a Right) for each outstanding share of common stock. The dividend was payable on February 9, 2024 (the Record Date) to the holders of record of shares of common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the Plan), dated as of January 29, 2024, as the same may be amended from time to time between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, as Rights Agent.

By adopting the Plan, the Board is seeking to protect the Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and other tax attributes to offset potential future income tax liabilities. The Company’s ability to use such NOLs and other tax attributes would be substantially limited if the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Generally, an “ownership change” occurs if the percentage of the Company’s stock owned by one or more “five percent stockholders” increases by more than fifty percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such stockholders at any time during the prior three-year period or, if sooner, since the last “ownership change” experienced by the Company. The Plan is intended to make it more difficult for the Company to undergo an ownership change by deterring any person from acquiring 4.95% or more of the outstanding shares without the approval of the Board. The Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to reduce the likelihood of an ownership change, which could harm the Company’s future operating results by effectively increasing the Company future tax liabilities.

Depreciation:

Depreciation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 includes $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 includes $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of asset retirement obligations, which are cash expenses.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION:

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue:

Revenue recognized over time

Royalty and advertising fund revenues represent sales-based royalties that are recognized in the period in which the sales occur. Generally, royalty and advertising fund revenues are billed and collected monthly in arrears. Advertising fund revenues and expenditures, which must be spent on marketing and related activities per the franchise agreements, are recorded on a gross basis within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The treatment increases both the gross amount of reported revenue and expense and generally has no impact on operating income and net income. Franchise fees are billed and received upon the signing of the franchise agreement. Recognition of these fees is deferred until the salon opens and is then recognized over the term of the franchise agreement, which is typically 10 years. Franchise rental income is a result of the Company signing leases on behalf of franchisees and entering into sublease arrangements with the franchisees. The Company recognizes franchise rental income and expense when it is due to the landlord and it has no impact on net income.

Revenue recognized at point of sale

Company-owned salon revenues are recognized at the time when the services are provided, or the guest receives and pays for the merchandise. Revenues from purchases made with gift cards are also recorded when the guest takes possession of the merchandise or services are provided. Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability (deferred revenue) upon sale and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the guest. Gift card breakage, the amount of gift cards which will not be redeemed, is recognized proportional to redemptions using estimates based on historical redemption patterns. Product sales to franchisees and other partners are recorded at the time product is delivered.

Information about receivables, broker fees and deferred revenue subject to the current revenue recognition guidance is as follows:

Receivables relate primarily to payments due for royalties, advertising fees and rent. The receivables balance is presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses (i.e., doubtful accounts). Provisions for credit losses are recorded based on management’s judgment regarding our ability to collect as well as the age of the receivables. Receivable are written off when they are deemed uncollectible. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $6.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The Company offers financing to SmartStyle® franchisees when they remodel their salons. Included in Other assets is a receivable of $1.0 million, partially offset by a credit loss reserve of $0.2 million, related to this financing program.

Broker fees are the costs associated with using external brokers to identify new franchisees. These fees are paid upon the signing of the franchise agreement and recognized as general and administrative expense over the term of the franchise agreement. The following table is a rollforward of the broker fee balance for the periods indicated:

Deferred franchise fees related to open salons are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. Franchise fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $5.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to deferred franchise fees for open salons as of March 31, 2024 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

On June 30, 2022, the Company sold its Opensalon® Pro (OSP) solution to Soham Inc. As a result of the sale, the Company classified the OSP business as discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. The Company received $13.0 million in proceeds in June 2022 and received $5.0 million in fiscal year 2023, offset by a $0.5 million transaction fee. In the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company earned $2.0 million of proceeds that had been previously held back, which were paid to the Company in January 2024. No income taxes have been allocated to discontinued operations based on the methodology required by accounting for income taxes guidance. Cash used in operations includes $0.1 million of cash from discontinued operations.

The following summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the periods presented:

4. SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT:

Stock-Based Employee Compensation:

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted restricted stock units as follows:

The RSUs granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2024, vest in equal amounts over athree-year period subsequent to the grant date.

Total compensation cost for stock-based payment arrangements totaling $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.2 and $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was recorded within general and administrative on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Share Issuance Program:

In fiscal year 2021, the Company filed a $150.0 million shelf registration statement and $50.0 million prospectus supplement (collectively, the Share Issuance Program) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under which it may offer and sell, from time to time, up to $50.0 million worth of its Class A common stock in "at-the-market" offerings. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company didnot issue any shares under this prospectus. The Share Issuance Program expired on February 10, 2024.

5. INCOME TAXES:

A summary of the income tax (expense) benefit and corresponding effective tax rate is as follows:

The recorded tax provision and effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were different than what would normally be expected, primarily due to the impact of the deferred tax valuation allowance. In addition, the Company recognized a one-time tax benefit of $0.2 million in fiscal year 2024 as a result of an income tax audit of foreign subsidiaries.

With limited exceptions, due to net operating loss carryforwards, our federal, state, and foreign tax returns are open to examination for all years since 2014, 2013 and 2016, respectively.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company is a plaintiff or defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other franchisors, the Company has faced allegations of franchise regulation and agreement violations. Additionally, because the Company may be the tenant under a master lease for a location subleased to a franchisee, the Company has faced allegations of nonpayment of rent and associated charges. Further, similar to other retail employers, the Company has faced, and may continue to face, allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations.

Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the actions are being vigorously defended, the Company could incur judgments in the future or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.

The Company owns a majority stake in Empire Education Group, Inc. (EEG). To be eligible to participate in Title IV programs, the schools operated by EEG must comply with specific standards and procedures set forth in the Higher Education Act and the regulations issued thereunder by the Department of Education. On October 10, 2023, the Department of Education issued a final rule applicable to “gainful employment” programs, which under the Higher Education Act, include all programs offered by the EEG schools and other proprietary institutions. Under this final rule, which becomes effective July 1, 2024, the continued Title IV eligibility of such programs will be based on meeting both a debt-to-earnings metric and an earnings premium metric. A program that fails either metric in a single year will be required to provide warnings to current and prospective students that it could be at risk of losing Title IV program eligibility. A program that fails to meet the same metric twice in a three-year period will lose Title IV program eligibility. The first measurement will be assessed in fiscal year 2025. Upon a loss of institutional or programmatic eligibility, EEG’s students would lose access to Title IV program funds and that could be detrimental to EEG's business model. Additionally, EEG students who are unable to complete their educational program with EEG, or who do not accept a teach-out opportunity with another institution, may be eligible for discharges of their federal student loan debt. Those discharged loan amounts and other Title IV funds disbursed to EEG students that do not complete their program, as well as other Title IV program funds, may constitute liabilities to the Department of Education. Because the Company holds a majority ownership interest in EEG and is a co-signatory to the Title IV program participation agreements of the EEG schools with the Department of Education, the Department of Education could hold the Company responsible for EEG's Title IV program liabilities. As of March 31, 2024, EEG had $10.8 million of Title IV liabilities. If EEG is unable to meet the required metrics for gainful employment programs and subsequently unable to allow students to complete their programs, then it is possible the Company could be liable for all or some of the Title IV liabilities. The Company does not believe that it is probable that it would be liable for a material portion of these liabilities because there is time for EEG to reduce its exposure to these liabilities and therefore has not recorded any accrual for this potential liability.

7. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH:

The table below reconciles the cash and cash equivalents balances and restricted cash balances recorded within other current assets on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the amount of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

(1)Restricted cash within other current assets primarily relates to consolidated advertising cooperatives funds, which can only be used to settle obligations of the respective cooperatives, and contractual obligations to collateralize the Company's self-insurance programs.

8. LEASES:

At contract inception, the Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time. If the contract provides the Company the right to substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset, the Company considers it to be, or contain, a lease. The Company leases its company-owned salons and its corporate facilities under operating leases. The original terms range fromone to 20 years with many leases renewable for an additional five to 10-year term at the option of the Company. In addition to the obligation to make fixed rental payments for the use of the salons, the Company also has variable lease payments that are based on sales levels. For most leases, the Company is required to pay real estate taxes and other occupancy expenses. Total rent includes the following:

(1)Upon termination of previously impaired leases, the Company derecognizes the corresponding ROU assets and lease liabilities, which results in a net gain. In addition, the Company recognizes a benefit from lease liabilities decreasing in excess of previously impaired ROU assets for ongoing leases that were previously impaired.

(2)Franchise salon rent is lower in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 due to settlements with landlords for less than previously accrued.

The Company leases salon premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with franchisees. All lease-related costs are passed through to the franchisees. The Company records the rental payments due from franchisees as franchise rental income and the corresponding amounts owed to landlords as franchise rent expense on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense were $23.8 million and $26.6 million, and $72.5 million and $85.8 million, respectively. These leases generally have lease terms of approximately five years. The Company expects to renew the SmartStyle master lease and some leases for locations subleased to our franchisees upon expiration of those leases. Other leases are expected to be renewed by the franchisee upon expiration.

All the Company's leases are operating leases. The lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date, includingone lease term option when the lease is expected to be renewed. The ROU asset is initially and subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, less accrued lease payments and unamortized lease incentives received, if any. Expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including the lease renewal option when the lease is expected to be renewed. Generally, the non-lease components, such as real estate taxes and other occupancy expenses, are separate from rent expense within the lease and are not included in the measurement of the lease liability because these charges are variable.

The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the Company's estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot generally be determined. The Company uses the portfolio approach in applying the discount rate based on the original lease term. The weighted average remaining lease term was 5.15 and 5.52 years, and the weighted average discount rate was 4.99% and 4.55% for all salon operating leases as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, future operating lease commitments, includingone renewal option for leases expected to be renewed, to be paid and received by the Company were as follows (dollars in thousands):

9. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS:

The Company's debt consists of the following:

The Company's credit facility matures in August 2025. In addition to a $10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant, the amended credit agreement includes typical provisions and financial covenants, including leverage and fixed-charge coverage ratio covenants. The agreement utilizes an interest rate margin that is subject to annual increases. The margin applicable to term secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) loans was 3.875% through March 27, 2023. Effective March 27, 2023, the margin increased to 6.25%, of which 4.25% is paid currently in cash and 2.00% is PIK interest (added to the principal balance and thereafter accruing interest). Effective March 27, 2024, the margin increased to 7.25%, of which 4.25% will be paid currently in cash and 3.00% will be PIK interest. The margin applicable to base rate loans will be 100 basis points (1.00%) less than the margin applicable to term SOFR loans. Interest expense is recorded based on a weighted average effective interest rate method. The significant assumptions used in the weighted average estimate are the future SOFR rates and debt balance, as well as the length of time the debt will be outstanding. Cash interest paid in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $4.7 million and $14.2 million, and $4.0 million and $10.9 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit under the revolving credit facility of $9.8 million, primarily related to the Company's self-insurance program. As of March 31, 2024, total liquidity and available credit under the $55.0 million revolving credit facility, as defined by the amended agreement, were $36.7 million and $30.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.9 million and current liabilities of $109.1 million.

The Company was in compliance with its covenants and other requirements of the financing arrangements as of March 31, 2024.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, inventory, deferred compensation assets, accounts payable and debt approximated their carrying values.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets, including the Company's equity method investments, tangible fixed and other assets and goodwill, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. The fair values of these assets are determined, when applicable, based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables and discounted cash flow projections.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net loss divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding stock options (SOs), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and stock-settled performance units (PSUs). The Company's diluted earnings per share is calculated as net loss divided by weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which includes shares issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based awards with exercise prices greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The computation of weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excluded 218,904 and 214,684 of stock-based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and excluded 216,727 and 194,093 of stock-based awards during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as they were not dilutive under the treasury stock method.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION:

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the chief operating decision maker (CODM) reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes. The Company's reportable operating segments consisted of the following salons:

(1)Canadian and Puerto Rican salons are included in the North American salon totals.

Financial information concerning the Company's reportable operating segments is shown in the table below. Segment information is presented in the same way that the Company internally organizes the business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company revised its internal reporting such that the CODM’s primary measures of segment performance are revenue and segment adjusted EBITDA. Revenue and segment adjusted EBITDA are regularly reviewed by the CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments, assess current performance, and forecast future performance. Asset information by segment is not provided to the CODM. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and impairment. Consistent with our internal management reporting, unallocated expenses include certain items impacting comparability. These unallocated items are not defined terms within U.S. GAAP. They are based on how management views the business, makes financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluates the Company's ongoing performance and are not attributable to either segment. Unallocated fees include one-time professional fees and settlements, severance expense, the benefit from lease liability decreases in excess of previously impaired ROUA, lease termination fees and asset retirement obligation costs.
