Regis Corporation (NYSE: RGS), a leader in the haircare industry, whose primary business is franchising, owning and operating technology-enabled hair salons, today reported a third quarter 2021 net loss from continuing operations of $10.8 million, or $0.30 loss per diluted share as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $67.8 million, or $1.89 loss per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020. The Company’s third quarter 2021 reported results included $14.5 million of discrete items. Excluding discrete items, the Company reported third quarter 2021 adjusted net loss of $25.3 million, or $0.70 loss per diluted share as compared to adjusted net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.11 earnings per diluted share, for the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease in adjusted net income was driven primarily by the decrease in the gain from the sale of salons to franchisees of $14.2 million due to lower proceeds per salon in the current year. The elimination of adjusted net income that had been generated in the prior year period from the 519 company-owned salons that were sold and converted to the Company’s asset-light franchise portfolio over the past twelve months also contributed to the decline, but this was partially offset by significant reductions in general and administrative expense and marketing. Additionally, the Company estimates it lost approximately $23.7 million in revenue this quarter compared to $20.7 million in the prior year due to government-mandated salon closures and lower traffic due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total revenue in the quarter of $100.3 million decreased $53.5 million, or 34.8%, year-over-year driven primarily by the conversion of a net 519 company-owned salons to the Company's asset-light franchise portfolio over the past 12 months and due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA loss of $19.8 million decreased $26.4 million, versus adjusted EBITDA of $6.6 million in the same period last year. Excluding the $4.6 million adjusted loss and $9.6 million adjusted gain from the sale of company-owned salons during the current and prior year quarter, respectively, adjusted EBITDA loss of $15.2 million was $12.2 million unfavorable versus the same period last year. This was driven primarily by the elimination of adjusted EBITDA that had been generated in the prior year period from the 519 company-owned salons that were sold and converted to the Company’s asset-light franchise portfolio over the past twelve months and lower system-wide same-store sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by significant reductions in general and administrative expense and marketing spend.

Felipe Athayde, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are proud of the progress we have made against our key initiatives that will put us in the best position to optimize our brands and support our franchisees. While there is still much work to be done, we are putting in the hard work, not cutting corners, and taking the necessary steps to lay the right foundation for the future of Regis."

Third quarter Franchise revenue was $67.9 million, a $12.1 million, or 21.7% increase compared to the prior year quarter, and includes franchise rental income of $31.3 million. Royalties and fees were $23.5 million, a $14.8 million, or 170.6% increase versus the same period last year. Franchise fees contributed to $1.5 million of the increase, while advertising funds increased $13.4 million, primarily related to the refunding of fees in the prior year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in franchise fees and cooperative advertising was offset by lower royalties due to lower same-store sales primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Product sales to franchisees of $13.1 million decreased $2.2 million versus the same period last year also due to lower same-store retail sales primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Franchise adjusted EBITDA of $12.0 million increased $0.5 million, or 4.2% year-over-year primarily due an increase in franchise fees and a decrease in bad debt, partially offset by the decline in franchise same-store sales of 19.3% primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Total franchise locations open at March 31, 2021 were 5,317 compared to 5,126 at March 31, 2020.

Variances calculated on amounts shown in millions may result in rounding differences.

Third quarter revenue for the Company-owned salon segment decreased $65.6 million, or 67.0%, versus the prior year to $32.3 million. The year-over-year decline in revenue was driven by the decrease of a net 519 salons sold and converted to the Company's franchise portfolio over the past 12 months, the closure of a net 470 unprofitable salons over the past 12 months and a decline in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA decreased $12.1 million, or 1,736.0%, versus the same period last year driven primarily by the elimination of EBITDA that had been generated in the prior year period from the 519 company-owned salons that were sold and converted to the Company's franchise portfolio over the past 12 months, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the decline in service and product margins, partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense and marketing spend.

Other Key Events

• Continued migration of the Company's proprietary cloud-based salon management and point-of-sale technology solution, Opensalon^® Pro. Over 1,200 salons, or 25%, of our franchise salons, are now running on Opensalon^® Pro and an additional 500 have signed contracts to install Opensalon^® Pro in the fourth quarter.
• As part of the Company's transformation to focus on managing and nurturing brands, and in line with a capital-light business, a new merchandise strategy to outsource product distribution was adopted. The Company’s exit out of the product distribution business is expected to occur in late 2021 and is anticipated to positively impact franchisees by providing them with access to industry-leading pricing, loyalty programs, promotional benefits, educational assets, and ongoing support. The Company remains committed to its private label brands, including Designline^®, Blossom^® Pure Haircare and a new men’s line called Prototype™, and distributors will carry these lines to sell exclusively to Regis franchisees.
• The Company continues to make meaningful progress on its multi-year strategy to convert to a fully-franchised model. During the third quarter, it sold and transferred 126 company-owned salons and in April it sold and transferred 109 company-owned salons.
• The impact of the transactions closed in the quarter is as follows:

System-wide same-store sales are calculated as the total change in sales for system-wide franchise and company-owned locations for more than one year that were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly and year-to-date 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. Locations relocated within a one-mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. System-wide same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation. TBG salons were not a franchise location in fiscal year 2021 so they are excluded from fiscal year 2020 same-store sales for comparability.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations:

We believe our presentation of non-GAAP operating loss, net (loss) income, net (loss) income 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 that 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 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.

Non-GAAP reconciling items for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

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 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 results:

• Employee litigation reserve
• Professional fees
• Severance expense
• CEO transition
• Corporate office transition
• Benefit from lease liability decrease in excess of previously impaired ROUA ("Lease Liability Benefit")
• Lease termination fees
• Real estate fees
• Asset retirement obligations
• Long-lived asset impairment
• TBG restructuring
• Goodwill impairment
• Gain on distribution centers
• Goodwill derecognition
• TBG discontinued operations

The earnings per share impact of the adjustments for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 included additional shares for common stock equivalents of 1.1 million. The impact of the adjustments described above result in the impact of the common stock equivalents to be dilutive to the non-GAAP net income per share. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2020, the impact of the adjustments described above resulted in a non-GAAP net loss, therefore, the impact of the common stock equivalents is not dilutive.

Reconciliation Of Reported U.S. GAAP Net Income (Loss) To Adjusted EBITDA, A Non-GAAP Financial Measure
(Dollars in thousands)
(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents U.S. GAAP net (loss) income for the respective period excluding interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA, as EBITDA excluding identified items impacting comparability for each respective period. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the items impacting comparability consisted of the items identified in the non-GAAP reconciling items for the respective periods. The impacts of the income tax provision adjustments associated with the above items are already included in the U.S. GAAP reported net (loss) income to EBITDA reconciliation, therefore there is no adjustment needed for the reconciliation from EBITDA to adjusted EBITDA.
