REGIS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS
MINNEAPOLIS, October 29, 2015 -- Regis Corporation (NYSE: RGS), a leader in the haircare industry, whose primary business is owning, operating and franchising hair salons, today reported results for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2015 versus the prior year as noted below.
As a result of the Company's valuation allowance against most of its deferred tax assets, associated reported and, as adjusted, after-tax results of operations are not comparable to prior periods.
• | Sales of $450.1 million, a decline of $14.4 million. Same-store sales increased 0.7%. |
◦ | Same-store service sales increased 0.3% and same-store product sales increased 2.4%. |
• | GAAP net loss of $(0.8) million or $(0.02) per diluted share. |
◦ | Includes $(0.03) per diluted share impact due to the deferred tax valuation allowance on income tax expense. |
• | EBITDA, as adjusted, of $22.9 million compared to $21.9 million in the prior year quarter. |
◦ | Increase of $2.2 million from same-store sales improvement and franchise growth. |
◦ | Decline of $(1.2) million mainly from minimum wage increases, stylist productivity, impact of an additional year of earned performance equity grants, planned strategic investments and foreign exchange, partly offset by costs savings, reduced self-insurance, lapping certain costs in the prior year quarter, and lower marketing expenditures due to timing. |
• | Diluted EPS, as adjusted, was $(0.02) compared to $(0.17) in the prior year quarter. |
◦ | Excluding the impact of the deferred tax valuation allowance, Diluted EPS, as adjusted, increased $0.05 per share compared to the prior year quarter. |
◦ | Increase of $0.03 per share from same-store sales improvement and franchise growth. |
◦ | Increase of $0.01 per share due to lower depreciation, cost savings, reduced self-insurance, lower interest expense, lapping certain costs in the prior year quarter, and lower marketing expenditures due to timing, partly offset by minimum wage increases, stylist productivity, impact of an additional year of earned performance equity grants, planned strategic investments, foreign exchange and non-cash losses from our equity investment in Empire Education Group. |
◦ | Increase of $0.01 per share due to reduced shares outstanding. |
• | The current quarter GAAP net loss includes discrete income of $0.2 million. The prior year quarter GAAP net loss includes net discrete expense of $0.6 million. See non-GAAP reconciliations. |
Dan Hanrahan, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The focus on Leadership Development, Technical Education and Asset Protection are continuing to improve our execution capability. In the first quarter, same-store sales increased 70 basis points, comprised of increases in same-store service and retail sales of 30 and 240 basis points. We also executed against our capital allocation policy by repurchasing $44 and $30 million of our shares during the first and second quarter to-date at very reasonable prices.
“A greater percentage of our field leaders drove positive same-store sales during the quarter compared to all of fiscal 2015. Our strong leaders are driving sustainable improvement by using the tools, processes and metrics we provide to drive growth quarter after quarter. These leaders are driving improved execution by developing their teams and hiring and retaining top stylists and salon leaders. That said, our opportunity remains our underperforming leaders who have yet to show consistent revenue progress. In these situations, we continue to provide additional training and development, or upgrade talent as necessary. We are significantly changing the way Regis manages the salon business, and I am very proud of our team’s growing ability to execute on our strategies. While our quarterly progress may not always be linear, I am confident we are on a path to deliver consistent long-term growth and profitability.”
The Company provided an update on its three key priorities to improve execution and performance in fiscal 2016. These areas follow the theme of people, process and metrics enabled by real-time information to make good business decisions and drive improved execution.
Leadership Development. Our focus on developing strong leaders who train, coach, mentor and lead their teams to success remains a top priority. Our formal training programs are now a regular part of the calendar for our field operations team and something they look forward to for the learning and inspiration they can bring back to their salons. We also extended our reach beyond our Regional Vice Presidents and Regional Directors to our District Leaders and now to our Salon Managers.
We deployed our 12-week Salon Manager training program during the first quarter. This is a comprehensive program that helps Salon Managers become more confident in their roles as teacher, leader and coach to stylists and focuses them on stylist retention, staffing and profitable revenue generation. Rollout of this training occurred about 5 weeks ago, and early participation has exceeded our expectations. Salon Manager and District Leader feedback has been quite positive. This curriculum is also being used as our onboarding program for new Salon Managers, creating a more standardized platform to empower our new leaders.
Technical Education. Making Regis a place where stylists can expect continued technical, product and experiential training reinforces our commitment to stylists’ ongoing development. We are becoming more localized in the way we deliver and execute technical and experiential training, and have been following specific onboarding plans to build out our technical education team across our salon portfolio and align
Artistic Directors with our Regional Directors. Our technical education program will ensure all salons receive in-salon technical training and provide regional cluster classes for stylists to leverage based on specific needs.
Asset Protection. Creating an environment where all stylists are working together, positively contributing to the health of our salons and salon teams, remains a key priority for our Asset Protection team. Enhanced exception reporting tools and case management systems provide key salon metrics that enable us to prioritize our asset protection efforts against our most compelling revenue growth opportunities. Through our asset protection awareness program and salon visits, our Asset Protection team is encouraging field leaders to make the right choices to optimize their individual success and revenues of Regis. During the first quarter, Asset Protection conducted over 800 awareness training sessions and salon visits. Not only did we continue to see sales trends improve due to these visits, but our Asset Protection team also assisted our field leaders in retaining high performing stylists and coaching stylists to grow their businesses to earn commissions.
Mr. Hanrahan concluded, “We are following the right strategies to make Regis the place where stylists can have successful and satisfying careers, and doing so will drive improved stylist retention, salon staffing, salon-level execution, and in turn, great guest experiences that lead to consistent, profitable growth. Our field leadership talent and execution capabilities are improving. We are taking necessary and critical steps to transform our culture into one that is focused on improving execution to realize the potential of each of our salons. We are hard at work and focused on driving daily executional improvements. As the team continues to execute our strategies, I am confident in our ability to make Regis the place for stylists to have successful and satisfying careers, which in turn will deliver long-term growth and shareholder value.”

First Quarter Results:
Revenues. Revenues in the quarter of $450.1 million declined $14.4 million, or 3.1%, compared to the prior year quarter. Same-store sales increased 0.7% compared to the prior year quarter.
Service revenue was $350.2 million, a $14.6 million reduction, or 4.0%, compared to the prior year quarter. During the period, same-store service sales increased 0.3%. An increase in average ticket price of 1.4%, due to a change in service mix and pricing, was offset by a decline in guest traffic of 1.1%. Offsetting the same-
store sales increase was a 430 basis point decline in service revenue compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a net reduction of 235 salons and foreign currency.
Product revenue was $88.0 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 0.9%, compared to the prior year quarter. Product same-store sales for the quarter increased 2.4%. An increase in guest transactions of 3.6%, primarily from improved execution as more of our service guests purchased retail product, was partly offset by a decrease in average ticket price of 1.2%. Offsetting the same-store sales increase was a 330 basis point decline in product revenue compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a net reduction of 235 salons and foreign currency.
Royalties and fees were $12.0 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 8.6% compared to the prior year quarter. Franchisees posted positive same-store sales during the quarter and the Company added 160 net franchised locations in the last twelve months.
Cost of Service and Product. Cost of service and product, as a percent of associated revenues, increased to 59.5%, or 30 basis points, compared to the prior year quarter.
Cost of service as a percent of service revenue for the quarter increased 90 basis points versus the prior year quarter, to 62.2%. The primary drivers were state minimum wage increases, stylist productivity, and higher health insurance costs, partly offset by lower field incentives.
Cost of product as a percent of product revenue was 48.9%, a decrease of 180 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter. The primary drivers were improved salon level inventory management and lapping of certain costs in the prior year quarter.
Site Operating Expenses. Site operating expenses of $47.8 million decreased $3.7 million compared to the prior year quarter. This was primarily driven by a net reduction of 235 salons, timing of certain marketing expenditures, lower self-insurance costs and cost savings, partly offset by higher freight costs.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses of $44.5 million decreased $0.6 million compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of discrete items in the prior period, general and administrative expenses were flat compared to the prior year quarter. The current quarter includes the impact of fiscal 2015’s earned performance shares, whereas the prior year quarter was not impacted in a similar fashion because performance shares were not earned in fiscal 2014. This increase, coupled with planned strategic investments in Technical Education was offset by the lapping of certain costs in the prior year quarter, cost savings and foreign exchange.
Rent. Rent expense of $74.8 million decreased $2.9 million compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily the result of a net reduction of 235 salons and foreign exchange, partly offset by rent inflation.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $17.9 million compared to $22.2 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of $4.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to salon closures and reduced salon impairment charges compared to the prior year quarter.
Income Taxes. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized tax expense of $2.8 and $6.3 million, respectively, with corresponding effective tax rates of 98.3% and (157.2)%, respectively.
The recorded tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were different than what would normally be expected. The majority of the tax expense related to non-cash tax expense for tax benefits on certain indefinite-lived assets the Company cannot recognize for reporting purposes. The total tax expense expected for the year ended June 30, 2016 is approximately $8.0 million related to this matter; however, there will be variation from quarter to quarter as a result of how the effective tax rate is computed on an interim basis. This non-cash tax item will continue as long as the Company has a valuation allowance against most of its deferred tax assets.
Equity in Affiliates. Loss from equity method investments and affiliated companies was $0.9 million compared to income of $0.4 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease of $1.3 million was due to lower current year earnings from Empire Education Group.
EBITDA, as Adjusted. EBITDA, as adjusted, which excludes the impact of equity in earnings of affiliated companies and discrete items in both periods, was $22.9 million, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the prior year quarter.
Interest. Interest expense of $2.4 million declined $0.7 million as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was due to settlement of the $172.5 million convertible debt in July 2014.
Discrete Items. Discrete items for the current quarter consisted of a $0.2 million decrease in self-insurance reserves.
Capital Allocation. In accordance with the Company’s capital allocation policy, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $50 million during the first quarter to be expended for the repurchase of the Company’s stock. During the first quarter, the Company repurchased 3.4 million shares for $44 million at an average price of $12.77 per share, excluding transaction costs. To-date in the second quarter, the Company repurchased an additional 2.3 million shares for $30 million at an average price of $12.89 per share, excluding transaction costs. As a result of this activity, approximately $37 million remains outstanding under the Company’s existing share repurchase authorization.
A complete reconciliation of reported earnings to adjusted earnings is included in this press release and is available on the Company’s website at www.regiscorp.com.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
We believe our presentation of non-GAAP operating income (loss), net loss, net loss per diluted share, and other non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful insight into our ongoing operating performance and an alternative perspective of our results of operations. Presentation of the non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our core ongoing operating performance from the same perspective as management and the Board of Directors. These non-GAAP financial measures provide investors an enhanced understanding of our operations, facilitate investors’ analyses and comparisons of our current and past results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of our future performance. We also believe the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information research analysts frequently use to analyze financial performance.
The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding U.S. GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with both our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliation of the selected U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, which are located in the Investor Information section of the corporate website at www.regiscorp.com.
Non-GAAP reconciling items for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:
The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within U.S. GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine which items to consider as “items impacting comparability” based on how management views our business, makes financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluates the Company’s ongoing performance. The following items have been excluded from our non-GAAP results:
• | Self-insurance reserve adjustments. |
• | Expense associated with legal cases. |

Notes:
(1) | Amounts for fiscal year 2015 have been revised. |
(2) | For the three months ended September 30, 2015, income tax expense of $2.8 million relates primarily to a $1.8 million non-cash charge for tax benefits on certain indefinite-lived assets that the Company cannot recognize for reporting purposes. The presence of a valuation allowance, including the non-cash tax expense on certain indefinite-lived assets, affects comparability of income tax expense, as adjusted and will cause our effective tax rate to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company evaluated GAAP diluted EPS with and without the full effects of the valuation allowance and calculated an impact of $0.03. Diluted EPS, as adjusted, without the presence of the valuation allowance, was $0.01 and ($0.03) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing an improvement of $0.04. As a result of the valuation allowance, non-GAAP adjustments are not tax effected. |
