Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q2 FY2025 results reveal a strategic transformation at Regis , marked by improved profitability despite top-line pressure. The adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to $7.1M demonstrates successful cost optimization, particularly noteworthy given the 8.4% revenue decline to $46.7M.

The Alline Salon Group acquisition marks a pivotal shift in Regis's business model. By increasing company-owned locations from 58 to 323, representing 7.5% of total salons, Regis has created a more balanced revenue stream. The company-owned segment's adjusted EBITDA improved by $1.0M, showcasing immediate accretion from the acquisition.

However, the 1.6% same-store sales decline across the system warrants attention, as it represents the second consecutive quarter of negative comps. This trend, combined with the reduction in franchise locations from 4,651 to 3,925, suggests underlying challenges in the core franchise business that need addressing.

The improvement in operating cash flow to $0.8M for the first half, up $7.6M year-over-year, indicates enhanced operational efficiency. However, with $126.4M in outstanding borrowings and $15.9M in available liquidity, managing the debt load from the Alline acquisition will be important for maintaining financial flexibility.

Continues to position Regis for future growth with the integration of the Alline Salon Group acquisition

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regis Corporation (NasdaqGM: RGS), a leader in the haircare industry, today announced financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Consolidated Revenue

Total consolidated revenue of $46.7 million in the second quarter 2025 and $92.8 million in the first half 2025, declined $4.3 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The decline was driven primarily by a reduction in non-margin franchise rental income and advertising fund contributions, which was partially offset by an increase in company-owned salon revenue resulting from the acquisition of Alline on December 19, 2024.

Operating Income

Regis reported second quarter 2025 operating income of $5.5 million, an improvement of $0.7 million compared to $4.8 million in the second quarter 2024. The year-over-year improvement in operating income was driven primarily by operating income from the Alline salons.

Regis reported first half 2025 operating income of $7.6 million, a decline of $4.6 million compared to $12.2 million in the first half 2024. The year-over-year decline in operating income was driven primarily non-recurring severance costs.

Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations

Regis reported second quarter 2025 income from continuing operations of $0.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $1.0 million, or $(0.43) per diluted share, in the second quarter 2024. The improvement was driven primarily by improvements to the Company’s cost structure and income generated by the Alline salons.

Regis reported first half 2025 loss from continuing operations of $1.6 million, or $(0.68) per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $0.2 million, or $0.08 per share, in the second half 2024. The year-over-year decline was driven primarily by lower operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of non-recurring severance costs, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.

Net Income

The company reported second quarter 2025 net income of $7.6 million, or $2.71 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.43 income per diluted share, for the same period last year. The company reported first half 2025 net income of $6.8 million, or $2.90 diluted income per share, compared to $2.2 million and $0.93 for the second half 2024. The year-over-year increases for the two periods were driven primarily by a gain related to discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter and first half 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $7.1 million and $14.8 million, improved $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, compared to $6.3 million and $14.4 million in the same periods last year. The improvement in both periods was primarily related to the Alline salons and improved cost structure.

Franchise Revenue

Second quarter franchise revenue was $43.3 million, a $6.0 million, or 12.2% decrease compared to the prior year quarter. First half 2025 franchise revenue was $88.5 million, a 12.1% decline compared to the first half of the prior year. Decreases in franchise salon count and same-store sales were the primary drivers of the declines.

Royalties were $14.8 million and $30.5 million, a $1.0 million and $1.8 million, or 6.3% and 5.6% decrease for the second quarter and first half 2025, compared to the same period last year. The declines were due to fewer franchise salons and lower same-store sales.

Franchise Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter franchise adjusted EBITDA of $6.4 million declined $0.2 million. First half 2025 franchise adjusted EBITDA of $14.4 million declined $0.8 million year-over-year. The declines are primarily due to a decrease in royalties, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses.

Company-Owned Salon Revenue

Second quarter revenue for the company-owned salon segment increased $1.7 million versus the prior year to $3.5 million. First half 2025 revenue for the company-owned salon segment improved $0.5 million versus the prior year to $4.2 million. The year-over-year increases were primarily driven by the Alline acquisition, partially offset by other company-owned store closures.

Company-Owned Salon Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter company-owned salon adjusted EBITDA improved $1.0 million from the same period last year. First half 2025 company-owned salon adjusted EBITDA improved $1.2 million versus the prior year to $0.4 million. The year-over-year improvements were due to the Alline acquisition, partially offset by the wind-down of underperforming company-owned salons.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 with $10.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $126.4 million in outstanding borrowings and available total liquidity of $15.9 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2024, totaled $0.8 million, an improvement of $7.6 million from the six months ended December 31, 2023, due to lower operating costs. Cash used in investing activities includes $18.6 million for Alline acquisition.

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: stock-based compensation expense, 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.
