Insights

Regis Corporation's reported figures offer a mixed financial landscape. The company has experienced a decrease in system-wide revenue, both for the quarter and year-to-date, which is a point of concern. However, focusing on operating income and adjusted EBITDA reveals an interesting narrative of corporate efficiency, as these have shown improvements despite the revenue decline. This suggests that the company's restructuring efforts and cost management strategies are yielding some positive results. For investors, the improved profitability metrics might indicate that the company is moving in the right direction, while the decline in revenue signals potential challenges in market demand or competitive dynamics.

From the balance sheet perspective, the liquidity position is acceptable, though not robust, with $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents against $187.8 million in outstanding borrowings. The reduction in net loss is encouraging, yet the continuous presence of net losses could signal underlying issues that have not been fully addressed. The cash flow improvement is a positive sign as it suggests better working capital management. Overall, for a retail investor, these results are a signal to monitor the company's future revenue performance closely while considering the current progress in profitability enhancements.

The modest increase in system-wide same-store sales shows that Regis Corporation is maintaining a degree of customer loyalty and experiencing slight organic growth, which is important in the highly competitive haircare industry. However, the decrease in total franchise revenue, including a drop in royalties and fees, suggests that the franchise segment is contracting. For investors, the franchise model dynamics are critical, as it's a lever for expansion and stable royalty income. The reduction in franchise salon count could be seen as either a strategic culling of underperforming units or a more concerning sign of franchisee dissatisfaction or market contraction.

The company's focus on improving customer experience and adopting new technology aligns with industry trends towards personalization and convenience, which may help to attract and retain customers in the long run. The transition towards fewer company-owned salons corresponds with a broader industry shift towards franchising, which can offer better scalability and less operational burden. However, the extent to which these strategies will translate into financial success remains to be seen and investors should watch for these initiatives to translate into tangible financial improvements.

Regis Corporation's strategic alternatives review indicates that the board is exploring options to optimize the capital structure, potentially including divestitures, acquisitions, or financial restructuring. This could have significant implications for shareholder value and investment risk profiles. For long-term investors, this is an indication that the company is proactively seeking solutions to enhance value and might be preparing for significant corporate changes. However, it also introduces uncertainty, as the outcome of such strategic reviews can have wide-ranging effects, from positive transformations to disruptive reorganizations.

The reported wind down of loss-generating company-owned salons appears to be part of a broader strategy to reduce direct operational exposure and shift towards a leaner, franchise-focused model, which could improve margins over time. The challenge for Regis will be to ensure that this does not lead to a loss of control over brand standards and customer experience. Investors should consider both the short-term impacts on revenue and the potential for a more capital-efficient and profitable business model in the long term.

Consolidated Revenue

Total consolidated revenue of $49.2 million in the third quarter 2024 and total revenue year-to-date 2024 of $153.6 million declined $6.6 million and $24.0 million, respectively. The decline was driven primarily by a reduction in non-margin franchise rental income and advertising fund contributions and the wind down of loss-generating company-owned salons that generated significant revenue.

Operating Income

Regis reported third quarter 2024 operating income of $4.1 million, an improvement of $2.1 million compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter 2023. Regis reported year-to-date 2024 operating income of $16.3 million, an improvement of $11.1 million compared to $5.2 million in 2023. The year-over-year improvement in operating income for the third quarter 2024 was driven primarily by a decrease in general and administrative expense and the lapping of negative margin franchise product sales in the prior fiscal quarter as part of the wind down of that business. The year-over-year improvement in year-to-date 2024 operating income was driven primarily by our lower general and administrative expense structure, lower depreciation expense and the lapping of a $1.2 million inventory reserve charge in the prior fiscal year.

Loss from Continuing Operations

Regis reported third quarter 2024 net loss from continuing operations of $2.4 million, or $1.03 diluted loss per share from continuing operations, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $2.2 million, or $0.93 diluted loss per share from continuing operations, in the third quarter 2023. Regis reported year-to-date 2024 net loss from continuing operations of $2.2 million, or $0.95 diluted loss per share from continuing operations, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $6.5 million, or $2.83 diluted loss per share from continuing operations, in 2023. The year-over-year improvement in both fiscal 2024 periods was driven primarily by an increase in operating income partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

Net Loss

The Company reported third quarter 2024 net loss of $2.3 million, or $1.00 diluted loss per share, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.71 loss per diluted share, for the same period last year. The year-over-year decline in the quarter was driven primarily by lower income from discontinued operations and higher interest, partially offset by an increase in operating income. The Company reported year-to-date 2024 net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.06 diluted loss per share, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million, or $1.12 loss per diluted share, for 2023. The improvement is due to higher operating income, offset by less proceeds from discontinued operations and higher interest.

Adjusted EBITDA

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million improved $0.8 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million in the same period last year. Year-to-date adjusted EBITDA of $18.5 million improved $2.7 million, versus adjusted EBITDA of $15.8 million in the same period last year. The improvement is primarily driven by our lower general and administrative expense structure.

Franchise Revenue

Third quarter franchise revenue was $47.9 million, a $5.7 million, or 10.6% decrease compared to the prior year quarter. Year-to-date franchise revenue was $148.6 million, a $21.1 million, or 12.4% decline compared to the prior year. Non-margin franchise rental income was the primary driver of the decline in both periods due to fewer franchise salons in the current year and franchisees renewing their own leases.

Royalties were $15.7 million and $48.0 million, a $0.3 million and $1.4 million, or 1.9% and 2.8% decrease for the third quarter and year-to-date 2024, versus the same periods last year due to fewer franchise salons.

Franchise Adjusted EBITDA

Third quarter franchise adjusted EBITDA of $5.8 million improved $1.0 million and year-to-date franchise adjusted EBITDA of $20.1 million improved $2.8 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower general and administrative expense, partially offset by lower royalties and fees.

Company-Owned Salon Revenue

Third quarter revenue for the Company-owned salon segment declined $0.9 million versus the prior year to $1.3 million. Year-to-date revenue for the Company-owned salon segment declined $2.9 million versus the prior year to $5.0 million. The year-over-year decline in revenue for both periods was expected and driven by the closure of 40 loss generating company-owned salons over the past twelve months.

Company-Owned Salon Adjusted EBITDA

Third quarter Company-owned salon adjusted EBITDA declined $0.2 million year-over-year, due primarily to inventory write-offs related to salon closures.

Year-to-date company-owned salon adjusted EBITDA loss declined year-over-year. Excluding the $1.1 million grant from the state of North Carolina in fiscal year 2023, adjusted EBITDA improved due to the closure of 40 loss generating company-owned salons over the past twelve months.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 with $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, $187.8 million in outstanding borrowings and total liquidity of $36.7 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $7.1 million, an improvement of $1.3 million from the nine months ended prior year due to lower operating costs.

System-wide same-store sales are calculated as the total change in sales for system-wide franchise and company-owned locations that were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly system-wide same-store sales are the sum of the system-wide same-store sales computed on a daily basis. Franchise salons that do not report daily sales are excluded from same-store sales. System-wide same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations:

This press release includes a presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Franchise revenue, which are non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures are financial measures that do not reflect United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We believe our presentation of the non-GAAP measures provides meaningful insight into our ongoing operating performance and a supplemental 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 that research analysts frequently use to analyze financial performance.

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 the 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 adjusted EBITDA results: discontinued operations, one-time professional fees and legal settlements, severance expense, excess inventory impairment charges, the benefit from lease liability decreases in excess of previously impaired right of use asset, lease termination fees and asset retirement obligation costs.

We present adjusted revenue to provide a meaningful Franchise adjusted EBITDA margin, which removes non-margin revenue from total revenue to arrive at an adjusted margin. Margin is a common metric used by investors, however, the majority of our revenue is offset by equal expense, so it does not contribute to our margin. We remove the non-margin revenue from this metric in order to show a meaningful margin rate.

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 as 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 our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
