Item 1. Business

Unless the context otherwise provides, when we refer to the "Company," "we," "our," or "us," we are referring to Regis Corporation, the Registrant, together with its subsidiaries.

(a) General Development of Business

In 1922, Paul and Florence Kunin opened Kunin Beauty Salon, which quickly expanded into a chain of value priced salons located in department stores. In 1958, the chain was purchased by their son and renamed Regis Corporation. In December 2004, the Company purchased Hair Club for Men and Women. On August 1, 2007, the Company contributed its 51 wholly-owned accredited cosmetology schools to Empire Education Group, Inc (EEG). On January 31, 2008, the Company merged its continental European franchise salon operations with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group in the newly formed entity, Provalliance. The Company acquired an additional equity interest in Provalliance in March 2011. On February 20, 2008, the Company acquired the capital stock of Cameron Capital I, Inc. (CCI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cameron Capital Investments, Inc. CCI owned and operated PureBeauty and BeautyFirst salons. On February 16, 2009, the Company sold its Trade Secret salon concept (Trade Secret), which included CCI. Additionally, the Company continues to acquire hair and retail product salons. Regis Corporation is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "RGS." Discussions of the general development of the business take place throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Background:

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Company's primary business is owning, operating and franchising hair and retail product salons. In addition to the primary hair and retail product salons, the Company owns Hair Club for Men and Women, a provider of hair restoration services. As of June 30, 2011, the Company owned, franchised or held ownership interests in approximately 12,700 worldwide locations. The Company's locations consisted of 9,819 company-owned and franchise salons, 96 hair restoration centers, and 2,786 locations in which the Company maintains an ownership interest of less than 100 percent. Each of the Company's salon concepts offer similar salon products and services and serve the mass market consumer marketplace. The Company's hair restoration centers offer three hair restoration solutions; hair systems, hair transplants and hair therapy, which are targeted at the mass market consumer.

The Company is organized to manage its operations based on significant lines of business—salons and hair restoration centers. Salon operations are managed based on geographical location—North America and International. The Company's North American salon operations are comprised of 7,483 company-owned salons and 1,936 franchise salons operating in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Company's International operations are comprised of 400 company-owned salons. The Company's worldwide salon locations operate primarily under the trade names of Regis Salons, MasterCuts, SmartStyle, Supercuts, Cost Cutters, and Sassoon. The Company's hair restoration centers are located in the United States and Canada. During fiscal year 2011, the number of customer visits at the Company's company-owned salons approximated 91 million. The Company had approximately 55,000 corporate employees worldwide during fiscal year 2011.

On August 1, 2007, the Company contributed 51 of its wholly-owned accredited cosmetology schools to EEG in exchange for a 49.0 percent equity interest in EEG. EEG is the largest beauty school operator in North America with 102 accredited cosmetology schools with revenues of approximately $193 million annually and is overseen by the Empire Beauty School management team.

In January 2008, the Company's effective ownership interest increased to 55.1 percent related to the buyout of EEG's minority interest shareholder. The Company accounts for the investment in EEG under the equity method of accounting as Empire Beauty School retains majority voting interest and has full responsibility for managing EEG. Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

On January 31, 2008, the Company merged its continental European franchise salon operations with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group in exchange for a 30.0 percent equity interest in the newly formed entity, Provalliance. The merger with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group which are also located in continental Europe, created Europe's largest salon operator with approximately 2,600 company-owned and franchise salons as of June 30, 2011.

The Company contributed to Provalliance the shares of each of its European operating subsidiaries, other than the Company's operating subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Germany. The contributed subsidiaries operate retail hair salons in France, Spain, Switzerland and several other European countries primarily under the Jean Louis David™ and Saint Algue™ brands. This transaction has created significant growth opportunities for Europe's salon brands. The Franck Provost Salon Group management structure has a proven platform to build and acquire company-owned stores as well as a strong franchise operating group that is positioned for expansion. The merger agreement contains a right (Equity Put) to require the Company to purchase an additional ownership interest in Provalliance between specified dates in 2010 to 2018. The Company recorded a $25.7 million other than temporary impairment charge in its fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009 on its investment in Provalliance as a result of increased debt and reduced earnings expectations that reduced the fair value of Provalliance below carrying value as of June 30, 2009.

Table of Contents

In March of 2011, the Company elected to honor and settle a portion of the Equity Put and acquired approximately 17 percent additional equity interest in Provalliance for $57.3 million (approximately € 40.4 million), bringing the Company's total equity interest to approximately 47 percent.

On February 16, 2009, the Company sold Trade Secret. The Company concluded, after a comprehensive review of its strategic and financial options, to divest Trade Secret. The sale of Trade Secret included 655 company-owned salons and 57 franchise salons, all of which had historically been reported within the Company's North America reportable segment. The Company recorded an impairment charge related to this transaction of $183.3 million during the year ended June 30, 2009.

Industry Overview:

Management estimates that annual revenues of the hair care industry are approximately $50 to $56 billion in the United States and approximately $150 to $170 billion worldwide. The Company estimates that it holds approximately two percent of the worldwide market. The hair salon and hair restoration markets are each highly fragmented, with the vast majority of locations independently owned and operated. However, the influence of salon chains on these markets, both franchise and company-owned, has increased substantially. Management believes that salon chains will continue to have a significant influence on these markets and will continue to increase their presence. As the Company is the principal consolidator of these chains in the hair care industry, it prevails as an established exit strategy for independent salon owners and operators, which affords the Company numerous opportunities for continued selective acquisitions.

Salon Business Strategy:

The Company's goal is to provide high quality, affordable hair care services and products to a wide range of mass market consumers, which enables the Company to expand in a controlled manner. The key elements of the Company's strategy to achieve these goals are taking advantage of (1) growth opportunities, (2) economies of scale and (3) centralized control over salon operations in order to ensure (i) consistent, quality services and (ii) a superior selection of high quality, professional products. Each of these elements is discussed below.

Salon Growth Opportunities. The Company's salon expansion strategy focuses on organic (new salon construction and same-store sales growth of existing salons) and salon acquisition growth.

Organic Growth. The Company executes its organic growth strategy through a combination of new construction of company-owned and franchise salons, as well as same-store sales increases. The square footage requirements related to opening new salons allow the Company great flexibility in securing real estate for new salons as the Company has small or flexible square footage requirements for its salons. The Company's long-term outlook for organic expansion remains strong. The Company has at least one salon in all major cities in the U.S. and has penetrated every viable U.S. market with at least one concept. However, because the Company has a variety of concepts, it can place several of its salons within any given market. Once customer visitations stabilize, the Company plans to continue to expand in North America.

A key component to successful North American organic growth relates to site selection, as discussed in the following paragraphs.

Salon Site Selection. The Company's salons are located in high-traffic locations such as regional shopping malls, strip centers, lifestyle centers, Walmart Supercenters, high-street locations and department stores. The Company is an attractive tenant to landlords due to its financial strength, successful salon operations and international recognition. In evaluating specific locations for both company-owned and franchise salons, the Company seeks conveniently located, visible

Table of Contents

sites which allow customers adequate parking and quick and easy location access. Various other factors are considered in evaluating sites, including area demographics, availability and cost of space, the strength of the major retailers within the area, location and strength of competitors, proximity of other company-owned and franchise salons, traffic volume, signage and other leasehold factors in a given center or area.

Because the Company's various salon concepts target slightly different mass market customer groups, more than one of the Company's salon concepts may be located in the same real estate development without impeding sales of either concept. As a result, there are numerous leasing opportunities for all of its salon concepts.

While same-store sales growth plays an important role in the Company's organic growth strategy, it is not critical to achieving the Company's long-term revenue growth objectives. However, same-store sales growth is important to achieving improved annual operating profit. New salon construction and salon acquisitions (described below) are expected to generate low single-digit annual revenue growth. The recent trend has been slowly improving visitation patterns and marginal increases in average ticket price resulting in negative to low single-digit same-store sales growth. The Company expects fiscal year 2012 same-store sales to be in the range of negative 1.0 percent to positive 1.0 percent.

Pricing is a factor in same-store sales growth. The Company actively monitors the prices charged by its competitors in each market and makes every effort to maintain prices which remain competitive with prices of other salons offering similar services. Price increases are considered on a market-by-market basis and are established based on local market conditions.

Salon Acquisition Growth. In addition to organic growth, another key component of the Company's growth strategy is the acquisition of salons. With an estimated two percent worldwide market share, management believes the opportunity to continue to make selective acquisitions exists.

Over the past 17 years, the Company has acquired 8,050 salons, expanding both in North America and internationally. When contemplating an acquisition, the Company evaluates the existing salon or salon group with respect to the same characteristics as discussed above in conjunction with site selection for constructed salons (conveniently located, visible, strong retailers within the area, etc.). The Company generally acquires mature strip center locations, which are systematically integrated within the salon concept that it most clearly emulates.

In addition to adding new salon locations each year, the Company has an ongoing program of remodeling its existing salons, ranging from redecoration to substantial reconstruction. This program is implemented as management determines that a particular location will benefit from remodeling, or as required by lease renewals. A total of 271 and 333 salons had major remodels in fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Recent Salon Additions. During fiscal year 2011, the Company constructed 213 new salons (146 company-owned and 67 franchise). Additionally, the Company acquired 105 company-owned salons, including 78 franchise salon buybacks.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company constructed 217 new salons (139 company-owned and 78 franchise). Additionally, the Company acquired 26 company-owned salons, including 23 franchise salon buybacks.

Salon Closures. The Company evaluates its salon performance on a regular basis. Upon evaluation, the Company may close a salon for operational performance or real estate issues. In either case, the closures generally occur at the end of a lease term and typically do not require significant lease buyouts.

Table of Contents

During fiscal year 2011, 305 salons were closed, including 245 company-owned salons and 60 franchise salons (excluding 78 franchise buybacks). We expect to close approximately 160 company-owned salons in fiscal year 2012.

During fiscal year 2010, 269 salons were closed, including 204 company-owned salons and 65 franchise salons (excluding 23 franchise buybacks). In June of 2009, the Company approved a plan to close up to 80 underperforming United Kingdom company-owned salons in fiscal year 2010, in addition to the normal closure activity of salons at the end of a lease term. As of June 30, 2010, 36 stores under the June 2009 plan ceased using the rights to use the leased property or negotiated a lease termination agreement with the lessor in which the Company ceased using the right to the leased property subsequent to June 30, 2010. The plans are substantially complete.

Economies of Scale. Management believes that due to its size and number of locations, the Company has certain advantages which are not available to single location salons or small chains. Economies of scale are realized through the centralized support system offered by the home office. Additionally, due to its size, the Company has numerous financing and capital expenditure alternatives, as well as the benefits of buying retail products, supplies and salon fixtures directly from manufacturers. Furthermore, the Company can offer employee benefit programs, training and career path opportunities that are often superior to its smaller competitors.

Centralized Control Over Salon Operations. The Company manages its expansive salon base through a combination of area and regional supervisors, corporate salon directors and chief operating officers. Each area supervisor is responsible for the management of approximately ten to 12 salons. Regional supervisors oversee the performance of five to seven area supervisors or approximately 50 to 80 salons. Salon directors manage approximately 200 to 300 salons while chief operating officers are responsible for the oversight of an entire salon concept. This operational hierarchy is key to the Company's ability to expand successfully. In addition, the Company has an extensive training program, including the production of training DVDs for use in the salons, to ensure its stylists are knowledgeable in the latest haircutting and fashion trends and provide consistent quality hair care services. Finally, the Company tracks salon activity for all of its company-owned salons through the utilization of daily sales detail delivered from the salons' point of sale system. This information is used to reconcile cash on a daily basis.

Consistent, Quality Service. The Company is committed to meeting its customers' hair care needs by providing competitively priced services and products with professional and knowledgeable stylists. The Company's operations and marketing emphasize high quality services to create customer loyalty, to encourage referrals and to distinguish the Company's salons from its competitors. To promote quality and consistency of services provided throughout the Company's salons, the Company employs full and part-time artistic directors whose duties are to train salon stylists in current styling trends. The major services supplied by the Company's salons are haircutting and styling (including shampooing and conditioning), hair coloring and waving. During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, the percentage of company-owned service revenues attributable to each of these services was as follows:



Haircutting and styling (including shampooing & conditioning)	72	%	72	%	73	%
Hair coloring	18		18		17
Hair waving	3		4		4
Other	7		6		6

	100	%	100	%	100	%

High Quality, Professional Products. The Company's salons sell nationally recognized hair care and beauty products as well as a complete line of private label products sold under the Regis, MasterCuts and Cost Cutters labels. The retail products offered by the Company are intended to be sold only through professional salons. The top selling brands include Paul Mitchell, Biolage, Redken, Regis designLINE, Nioxin, It's a 10, Tigi Bedhead, Sexy Hair Concepts, Kenra, Sebastian and the Company's various private label brands.

The Company has launched a product diversion website for the entire industry to use as a measurement tool to track diversion. Diversion involves the selling of salon exclusive hair care products to unauthorized distribution channels such as discount retailers and pharmacies. Diversion is harmful to the consumer because diverted product can be old, tainted or damaged. It is also harmful to the salon owners and stylists because their credibility with the consumer may be questioned.

The Company has the most comprehensive assortment of retail products in the industry. Although the Company constantly strives to carry an optimal level of inventory in relation to consumer demand, it is more economical for the Company to have a higher amount of inventory on hand than to run the risk of being under stocked should demand prove higher than expected. The extended shelf life and lack of seasonality related to the beauty products allows the cost of carrying inventory to be relatively low and lessens the importance of inventory turnover ratios. The Company's primary goal is to maximize revenues rather than inventory turns.

The retail portion of the Company's business complements its salon services business. The Company's stylists and beauty consultants are compensated and regularly trained to sell hair care and beauty products to their customers. Additionally, customers are enticed to purchase products after a stylist demonstrates its effect by using it in the styling of the customer's hair.

Salon Concepts:

The Company's salon concepts focus on providing high quality hair care services and professional products, primarily to the middle consumer market. The Company's North American salon operations consist of 9,419 salons (including 1,936 franchise salons), operating under several concepts, each offering attractive and affordable hair care products and services in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Company's International salon operations consist of 400 hair care salons located in Europe, primarily in the United Kingdom. The number of new salons expected to be opened within the upcoming fiscal year is discussed within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In addition to these openings, the Company typically acquires several hundred salons each year. The number of acquired salons, and the concept under which the acquisitions will fall, vary based on the acquisition opportunities which develop throughout the year.

SmartStyle has a walk-in customer base, pricing is promotional and services are focused on the family. These salons offer a full range of custom styling, cutting, hair coloring and waving services, as well as professional hair care products. The customer mix at SmartStyle Salons is approximately 76 percent women. Professional retail product sales contribute considerably to overall revenues at approximately 33 percent.

Strip Center Salons. The Company's Strip Center Salons are comprised of company-owned and franchise salons operating in strip centers across North America under the following concepts:

Supercuts. The Supercuts concept provides consistent, high quality hair care services and professional products to its customers at convenient times and locations and at a reasonable price. This concept appeals to men, women and children, although male customers account for approximately 66 percent of the customer mix. Service revenues represent approximately 89 percent of total company-owned Supercuts revenues. The average ticket was approximately $17 for fiscal years 2011 and 2010.

The average initial capital investment required for a new Supercuts salon is approximately $75,000 to $100,000, excluding average opening inventory costs of approximately $7,600.

These Supercuts franchise salons appeal to men, women and children. Service revenues represent approximately 92 percent of the Supercuts franchise total revenues. Average annual revenues in a Supercuts franchise salon which has been open five years or more are approximately $338,000.

Cost Cutters (franchise salons). The Cost Cutters concept is a full service salon concept providing value priced hair care services for men, women and children. These full service salons also sell a complete line of professional hair care products. The customer mix at Cost Cutters is split relatively

Table of Contents

evenly between men and women. Average annual salon revenues in a franchised Cost Cutters salon which has been open five years or more are approximately $280,000.

In addition to the franchise salons, the Company operates company-owned Cost Cutters salons, as discussed below under Promenade Salons.

Promenade Salons. Promenade Salons are made up of successful regional company-owned salon groups acquired over the past several years operating under the primary concepts of Hair Masters, Cool Cuts for Kids, Style America, First Choice Haircutters, Famous Hair, Cost Cutters, BoRics, Magicuts, Holiday Hair, Fiesta Salons and TGF, as well as other concept names. Most concepts offer a full range of custom hairstyling, cutting, coloring and waving, as well as hair care products. Hair Masters offers moderately-priced services to a predominately female demographic, while the other concepts primarily cater to time-pressed, value-oriented families. The customer mix is split relatively evenly between men and women at most concepts. Service revenues represent approximately 89 percent of total company-owned Promenade revenues. The average ticket was approximately $20 and $19 for fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The average initial capital investment required for a new Promenade Salon is approximately $60,000 to $80,000, excluding average opening inventory costs of approximately $8,600. Average annual salon revenues in a Promenade Salon which has been open five years or more are approximately $241,000.

Other Franchise Concepts. This group of franchise salons includes primarily First Choice Haircutters, Magicuts, Beauty Supply Outlets and Pro-Cuts. These concepts function primarily in the high volume, value priced hair care market segment, with key selling features of value, convenience, quality and friendliness, as well as a complete line of professional hair care products. In addition to these franchise salons, the Company operates company-owned First Choice Haircutters and Magicuts salons, as previously discussed above under "Strip Center Salons".

Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company acquired an ownership interest in a franchise concept that combines modern grooming techniques with classic barbershop elements. This ownership interest along with the Company's other men's franchise concepts will allow the Company to expand its focus on the male demographic.

International Salons. The Company's International salons are comprised of company-owned salons operating in the United Kingdom primarily under the Supercuts, Regis and Sassoon concepts. These salons offer similar levels of service as the North American salons previously mentioned. However, the initial capital investment required is typically between £135,000 and £145,000 for a Regis salon, and between £55,000 and £65,000 for a Supercuts salon. Average annual salon revenues for a salon which has been open five years or more are approximately £225,000 in a Regis salon and £189,000 in a Supercuts salon. Sassoon is one of the world's most recognized names in hair fashion and appeals to women and men looking for a prestigious full service hair salon. Salons are usually located on prominent high-street locations and offer a full range of custom hairstyling, cutting, coloring and waving, as well as professional hair care products. The initial capital investment required is approximately £450,000. Average annual salon revenues for a salon which has been open five years or more is approximately £826,000.

Table of Contents

The Company provides its franchisees with a comprehensive system of business training, stylist education, site approval and lease negotiation, professional marketing, promotion and advertising programs, and other forms of support designed to help the franchisee build a successful business.

Standards of Operations. The Company does not control the day to day operations of its franchisees, including hiring and firing, establishing prices to charge for products and services, business hours, personnel management and capital expenditure decisions. However, the franchise agreements afford certain rights to the Company, such as the right to approve location, suppliers and the sale of a franchise. Additionally, franchisees are required to conform to the Company's established operational policies and procedures relating to quality of service, training, design and decor of stores, and trademark usage. The Company's field personnel make periodic visits to franchise stores to ensure that the stores are operating in conformity with the standards for each franchising program. All of the rights afforded to the Company with regard to the franchise operations allow the Company to protect its brands, but do not allow the Company to control the franchise operations or make decisions that have a significant impact on the success of the franchise salons.

To further ensure conformity, the Company may enter into the lease for the store site directly with the landlord, and subsequently sublease the site to the franchisee. The franchise agreement and sublease provide the Company with the right to terminate the sublease and gain possession of the store if the franchisee fails to comply with the Company's operational policies and procedures. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about the Company's commitments and contingencies, including leases.

Franchise Terms. Pursuant to their franchise agreement with the Company, each franchisee pays an initial fee for each store and ongoing royalties to the Company. In addition, for most franchise concepts, the Company collects advertising funds from franchisees and administers the funds on behalf of the concept. Franchisees are responsible for the costs of leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, equipment, supplies, inventory, payroll costs and certain other items, including initial working capital.

Additional information regarding each of the major franchisee brands is listed below:

Supercuts (North America)

The majority of existing Supercuts franchise agreements have a perpetual term, subject to termination of the underlying lease agreement or termination of the franchise agreement by either the Company or the franchisee. The agreements also provide the Company a right of first refusal if the store is to be sold. The franchisee must obtain the Company's approval in all instances where there is a sale of the franchise. The current franchise agreement is site specific and does not provide any territorial protection to a franchisee, although some older franchise agreements do include limited territorial protection. Development agreements for new markets include limited territory protection for the Supercuts concept. The Company has a comprehensive impact policy that resolves potential conflicts among Supercuts franchisees and/or the Company's Supercuts locations regarding proposed salon sites.

Cost Cutters, First Choice Haircutters and Magicuts (North America)

The majority of existing Cost Cutters' franchise agreements have a 15 year term with a 15 year option to renew (at the option of the franchisee), while the majority of First Choice Haircutters' franchise agreements have a ten year term with a five year option to renew. The majority of Magicuts' franchise agreements have a term equal to the greater of five years or the current initial term of the lease agreement with an option to renew for two additional five year periods. All of the agreements also provide the Company a right of first refusal if the store is to be sold. The franchisee must obtain the Company's approval in all instances where there is a sale of the

Table of Contents

franchise. The current franchise agreement is site specific. Franchisees may enter into development agreements with the Company which provide limited territorial protection.

Pro-Cuts (North America)

The majority of existing Pro-Cuts franchise agreements have a ten year term with a ten year option to renew. The agreements also provide the Company a right of first refusal if the store is to be sold or transferred. The current franchise agreement is site specific. Franchisees may enter into development agreements with the Company which provide limited territorial protection.

Franchisee Training. The Company provides new franchisees with training, focusing on the various aspects of store management, including operations, personnel management, marketing fundamentals and financial controls. Existing franchisees receive training, counseling and information from the Company on a continuous basis. The Company provides store managers and stylists with extensive technical training for Supercuts franchises. For further description of the Company's education and training programs, see the "Salon Education and Training Programs" section of this document.

Salon Markets and Marketing:

The Company maintains various advertising, sales and promotion programs for its salons, budgeting a predetermined percent of revenues for such programs. The Company has developed promotional tactics and institutional sales messages for each of its concepts targeting certain customer types and positioning each concept in the marketplace. Print, radio, television, online and billboard advertising are developed and supervised at the Company's headquarters, but most advertising is done in the immediate market of the particular salon.

Most franchise concepts maintain separate advertising funds (the Funds) that provide comprehensive advertising and sales promotion support for each system. The Supercuts advertising fund is the Company's largest advertising fund and is administered by a council consisting of primarily franchisee representatives. The council has overall control of all of the fund's expenditures and operates in accordance with terms of the franchise operating and other agreements. All stores, company-owned and franchised, contribute to the Funds, the majority of which are allocated to the contributing market for media placement and local marketing activities. The remainder is allocated for the creation of national advertising campaigns and system wide activities. This intensive advertising program creates significant consumer awareness, a strong concept image and high loyalty.

Salon Education and Training Programs:

The Company has an extensive hands-on training program for their stylists which emphasizes technical training in hairstyling and cutting, hair coloring, texturizing services and hair treatment regimes, as well as customer service skills and product sales. The objective of the training programs is to ensure that customers receive professional and quality services, which the Company believes will result in additional repeat customers, referrals and product sales.

The Company has over 130 full and part-time artistic directors who train stylists the techniques to provide salon services and instruct stylists in current styling trends. Stylist training is achieved through seminars, workshops and DVD-based programs. The Company was the first in its industry to develop a DVD-based training system in its salons and currently has over 200 DVD titles designed to enhance the technical skills of stylists.

The Company has customer service training programs designed to improve the interaction between employees and customers. Employees are trained in the proper techniques in greeting the customer, telephone courtesy and professional behavior through a series of professionally designed DVDs, along with instructional seminars.

Table of Contents

The Company also provides regulatory compliance training for all its field employees. This training is designed to help supervisors and stylists understand employee regulatory requirements and compliance with these standards.

Salon Staff Recruiting and Retention:

Recruiting quality managers and stylists is essential to the establishment and operation of successful salons. In search of salon managers, the Company's supervisory team recruits or develops and promotes from within those stylists that display initiative and commitment. The Company has been and believes it will continue to be successful in recruiting capable managers and stylists. The Company believes that its compensation structure for salon managers and stylists is competitive within the industry. Stylists benefit from the Company's high-traffic locations and receive a steady source of new business from walk-in customers. In addition, the Company offers a career path with the opportunity to move into managerial and training positions within the Company.

Salon Design:

The Company's salons are designed, built and operated in accordance with uniform standards and practices developed by the Company based on its experience. Salon fixtures and equipment are generally uniform, allowing the Company to place large orders for these items with cost savings due to the economies of scale.

The size of the Company's salons ranges from 500 to 5,000 square feet, with the typical salon having about 1,200 square feet. At present, the cost to the Company of normal tenant improvements and furnishing of a new salon, including inventories, ranges from approximately $25,000 to $225,000, depending on the size of the salon and the concept. Less than ten percent of all new salons will have costs greater than normal with a cost between $225,000 and $500,000 to furnish. International Sassoon salons costs could be even greater than the ranges above. Of the total leasehold costs, approximately 70 percent of the cost is for leasehold improvements and the balance is for salon fixtures, equipment and inventories.

The Company maintains its own design and real estate department, which designs and supervises the leasehold installations, furnishing and fixturing of all new company-owned salons and certain franchise locations. The Company has developed considerable expertise in designing salons. The design and real estate staff focus on visual appeal, efficient use of space, cost and rapid completion times.

Salon Management Information Systems:

At all of its company-owned salons, the Company utilizes a point-of-sale (POS) information system to collect daily sales information and customer demographics. Salon employees deposit cash receipts into a local bank account on a daily basis. The POS system sends the amount expected to be deposited to the corporate office, where the amount is reconciled daily with local deposits transferred into a centralized corporate bank account. The customer information is then used to determine effectiveness of promotions and the loyalty base of each salon that feed into salon operational decisions. The information is also used to generate payroll information, monitor salon performance, manage salon staffing and payroll costs, and anticipate industry pricing and staffing trends. The corporate information systems deliver information on product sales to improve its inventory control system, including recommendations for each salon of monthly product replenishments. Recent innovations to increase inventory cycle counts and install high speed connections at each salon are expected to improve stylist productivity and improve customer satisfaction with the checkout process.

The goal of information systems is to maximize the overall value to the business while improving the output per dollar spent by implementing cost-effective solutions and services. Management believes that its information systems provide the Company with operational efficiencies as well as advantages in

Table of Contents

planning and analysis which are generally not available to competitors. The Company continually reviews and improves its information systems to ensure systems and processes are kept up to date and that they will meet the growing needs of the Company.

Salon Competition:

The hair care industry is highly fragmented and competitive. In every area in which the Company has a salon, there are competitors offering similar hair care services and products at similar prices. The Company faces competition within malls from companies which operate salons within department stores and from smaller chains of salons, independently owned salons and, to a lesser extent, salons which, although independently owned, are operating under franchises from a franchising company that may assist such salons in areas of training, marketing and advertising.

At the individual salon level the barriers to enter the market are not considerable; however, barriers exist for chains to expand nationally due to the need to establish systems and infrastructure, recruitment of experienced hair care management and adequate store staff, and leasing of quality sites. The principal factors of competition in the affordable hair care category are quality, consistency and convenience. The Company continually strives to improve its performance in each of these areas and to create additional points of differentiation versus the competition. In order to obtain locations in shopping malls, the Company must be competitive as to rentals and other customary tenant obligations.

Hair Restoration Business Strategy:

Hair Club for Men and Women (Hair Club) is the largest U.S. provider of hair loss solutions and the only company offering a comprehensive menu of proven hair loss products and services. The Company leverages its strong brand, best-in-class service model and comprehensive menu of hair restoration alternatives to build an increasing base of repeat customers that generate recurring cash flow for the Company. From its traditional non-surgical hair replacement systems, to hair transplants, hair therapies and hair care products and services, Hair Club offers a solution for anyone experiencing or anticipating hair loss. The Company's operations, presented under the Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit, consist of 96 locations (29 franchise locations) in the United States and Canada. The domestic hair restoration market is estimated to generate over $4 billion annually. The competitive landscape is highly fragmented and comprised of approximately 4,000 locations. Hair Club and its franchisees have the largest market share, with approximately five percent based on customer count.

Table of Contents

In an effort to provide privacy to its customers, Hair Club offices are located primarily in office and professional buildings within larger metropolitan areas. Following is a summary of the company-owned and franchise hair restoration centers in operation at June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009:

Hair Restoration Growth Opportunities. The Company's hair restoration centers expansion strategy focuses on organic growth (successfully converting new leads into customers at existing centers, broadening the menu of services and products at each location and to a lesser extent, new center construction) and acquisition growth.

Organic Growth. The hair restoration centers' business model is driven by productive lead generation that ultimately produces recurring customers. The primary marketing vehicle is direct response television in the form of infomercials that creates leads into the hair restoration centers' telemarketing center. Call center employees receive calls and schedule a consultation at a local hair restoration company-owned or franchise center. At the consultation, sales consultants assess the needs of each individual client and educate them on the hair restoration centers' suite of hair loss solutions.

The Company's long term outlook for organic expansion remains favorable due to several factors, including favorable industry dynamics, addressing new market opportunities, menu expansion, developing new locations and new cross marketing initiatives. The aging "baby boomer" population is expanding the number of individuals within the hair restoration centers' target market. This group of individuals is entering their peak years of disposable income and has demonstrated a willingness to improve their physical appearance.

In 2003, Hair Club began marketing to women and changed its name to Hair Club for Men and Women. This represents a large and relatively untapped market. Women now represent approximately 35 percent of new customers.

Currently, all locations offer hair systems, hair therapy and hair care products. Among the hair restoration centers' product offerings are hair transplants. The hair restoration centers employ

Table of Contents

a hub and spoke strategy for hair transplants. As of June 30, 2011, 30 locations were equipped and staffed to perform the procedure. Currently, a total of 69 hair restoration centers offer this service to their customers. The Company plans to add the capability to conduct hair transplants to more centers in future periods.

Company-owned-and franchise hair restoration centers are located in markets representing 74 percent of all U.S. television (TV) households. The Company's hair restoration centers advertise on cable TV to over 86 million households. There is an opportunity to add a limited number of new centers in under penetrated markets.

Hair Restoration Acquisition Growth. The Company plans to supplement organic growth with opportunistic acquisition activity. The hair restoration industry is comprised of a highly-fragmented group of 4,000 locations. This landscape provides an opportunity for consolidation. Given the existing coverage of Hair Club locations, it is anticipated that transactions may involve the acquisition of customer lists, rather than physical locations.

The Company maintains ownership interests in salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers. The primary ownership interests are in Provalliance, EEG and Hair Club for Men, Ltd., which are accounted for as equity method investments.

The Company maintains a 46.7 percent ownership interest in Provalliance. The fiscal year 2008 merger of the operations of the European operating subsidiaries with the Franck Provost Salon Group created a newly formed entity, Provalliance. The Franck Provost Salon Group management structure has a proven platform to build and acquire company-owned stores as well as a strong franchise operating group that is positioned for expansion. In March of 2011, the Company acquired approximately 17 percent additional equity interest in Provalliance.

The Company maintains a 55.1 percent ownership interest in EEG. Contributing the Company's beauty schools in fiscal year 2008 to EEG leverages EEG's management expertise, while enabling the Company to maintain a vested interest in the highly profitable beauty school industry.

The Company maintains a 50.0 percent ownership in Hair Club for Men, Ltd. Hair Club for Men, Ltd. operates Hair Club centers in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Corporate Trademarks:

The Company holds numerous trademarks, both in the United States and in many foreign countries. The most recognized trademarks are "Regis Salons," "Supercuts," "MasterCuts," "SmartStyle," "Cost Cutters," "Hair Masters," "First Choice Haircutters," "Magicuts" and "Hair Club for Men and Women."

"Sassoon" is a registered trademark of Procter & Gamble. The Company has a license agreement to use the Sassoon name for existing salons and academies, and new salon development.

Although the Company believes the use of these trademarks is an element in establishing and maintaining its reputation as a national operator of high quality hairstyling salons, and is committed to protecting these trademarks by vigorously challenging any unauthorized use, the Company's success and continuing growth are the result of the quality of its salon location selections and real estate strategies.

Corporate Employees:

During fiscal year 2011, the Company had approximately 55,000 full- and part-time employees worldwide, of which approximately 48,000 employees were located in the United States.

Corporate Community Involvement:

Many of the Company's employees volunteer their time to support charitable events for breast cancer research. Proceeds collected from such events are distributed through the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. The Company's community involvement also includes a major sponsorship role for the Susan G. Komen Twin Cities Race for the Cure. This 5K run and one mile walk is held in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Mother's Day to help fund breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. Through its community involvement efforts, the Company has helped raise millions of dollars in fundraising for breast cancer research.

Governmental Regulations:

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and provincial laws affecting its business as well as a variety of regulatory provisions relating to the conduct of its beauty related business, including health and safety.

In the United States, the Company's franchise operations are subject to the Federal Trade Commission's Trade Regulation Rule on Franchising (the FTC Rule) and by state laws and administrative regulations that regulate various aspects of franchise operations and sales. The Company's franchises are offered to franchisees by means of an offering circular/disclosure document containing specified disclosures in accordance with the FTC Rule and the laws and regulations of certain states. The Company has registered its offering of franchises with the regulatory authorities of those states in which it offers franchises and in which such registration is required. State laws that regulate the franchisor-franchisee relationship presently exist in a substantial number of states and, in certain cases, apply substantive standards to this relationship. Such laws may, for example, require that the franchisor deal with the franchisee in good faith, may prohibit interference with the right of free association among franchisees, and may limit termination of franchisees without payment of reasonable compensation. The Company believes that the current trend is for government regulation of franchising to increase over time. However, such laws have not had, and the Company does not expect such laws to have, a significant effect on the Company's operations.

In Canada, the Company's franchise operations are subject to both the Alberta Franchise Act and the Ontario Franchise Act. The offering of franchises in Canada occurs by way of a disclosure document, which contains certain disclosures required by the Ontario and Alberta Franchise Acts. Both the Ontario and Alberta Franchise Acts primarily focus on disclosure requirements, although each requires certain relationship requirements such as a duty of fair dealing and the right of franchisees to associate and organize with other franchisees.

Governmental regulations surrounding franchise operations in Europe are similar to those in the United States. The Company believes it is operating in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing all of its operations.

The Company maintains an ownership interest in EEG. Beauty schools derive a significant portion of their revenue from student financial assistance originating from the U.S Department of Education's Title IV Higher Education Act of 1965. For the students to receive financial assistance at the school, the beauty schools must maintain eligibility requirements established by the U.S Department of Education.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Changes in the general economic environment may impact our business and results of operations.

Changes to the United States, Canadian, United Kingdom, Asian and other European economies have an impact on our business. General economic factors that are beyond our control, such as interest rates, recession, inflation, deflation, tax rates and policy, energy costs, unemployment trends, and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending, may impact our business. In particular, visitation patterns to our salons and hair restoration centers can be adversely impacted by increases in unemployment rates and decreases in discretionary income levels.

If we continue to have negative same-store sales our business and results of operations may be affected.

Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to improve sales, as well as both gross margins and operating margins. Comparable same-store sales are affected by average ticket and same-store customer visits. A variety of factors affect same-store customer visits, including fashion trends, competition, current economic conditions, changes in our product assortment, the success of marketing programs and weather conditions. These factors may cause our comparable same-store sales results to differ materially from prior periods and from our expectations. Our comparable same-store sales results for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 declined 1.7 percent compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. We impaired $74.1 million of goodwill associated with our Promenade salon concept during fiscal year 2011. We impaired $35.3 million of goodwill associated with our Regis salon concept during fiscal year 2010. We also impaired $41.7 million of goodwill associated with our salon concepts in the United Kingdom during fiscal year 2009. If negative same-store sales continue and we are unable to offset the impact with operational savings, our financial results may be further affected. We may be required to take additional impairment charges and to impair certain long-lived assets and goodwill and such impairments could be material to our consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. The concepts that have the highest likelihood of impairment are Promenade, Regis, and Hair Restoration Centers.

Table of Contents

If we are unable to improve our comparable same-store sales on a long-term basis or offset the impact with operational savings, our financial results may be affected. Furthermore, continued declines in same-store sales performance may cause us to be in default of certain covenants in our financing arrangements.

Failure to control cost may adversely affect our operating results.

We must continue to control our expense structure. Failure to manage our cost of product, labor and benefit rates, advertising and marketing expenses, operating lease costs, other store expenses or indirect spending could delay or prevent us from achieving increased profitability or otherwise adversely affect our operating results.

Changes in our key relationships may adversely affect our operating results.

We maintain key relationships with certain companies, including Walmart. Termination or modification of any of these relationships, including Walmart, could significantly reduce our revenues and have a material and adverse impact on our business, our operating results and our ability to grow.

Changes in fashion trends may impact our revenue.

Changes in consumer tastes and fashion trends can have an impact on our financial performance. For example, trends in wearing longer hair may reduce the number of visits to, and therefore, sales at our salons.

Changes in regulatory and statutory laws may result in increased costs to our business.

With approximately 12,700 locations and 55,000 employees worldwide, our financial results can be adversely impacted by regulatory or statutory changes in laws. Due to the number of people we employ, laws that increase minimum wage rates or increase costs to provide employee benefits may result in additional costs to our company. Compliance with new, complex and changing laws may cause our expenses to increase. In addition, any non-compliance with these laws could result in fines, product recalls and enforcement actions or otherwise restrict our ability to market certain products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are also subject to laws that affect the franchisor-franchisee relationship.

If we are not able to successfully compete in our business segments, our financial results may be affected.

Competition on a market by market basis remains strong. Therefore, our ability to raise prices in certain markets can be adversely impacted by this competition. If we are not able to raise prices, our ability to grow same-store sales and increase our revenue and earnings may be impaired.

If our joint ventures are unsuccessful our financial results may be affected.

We have entered into joint venture arrangements with other companies in the hair salon and beauty school businesses in order to maintain and expand our operations in the United States, Asia and continental Europe. If our joint venture partners are unwilling or unable to devote their financial resources or marketing and operational capabilities to our joint venture businesses, or if any of our joint ventures are terminated, we may not be able to realize anticipated revenues and profits in the countries where our joint ventures operate and our business could be materially adversely affected. If our joint venture arrangements are not successful, we may have a limited ability to terminate or modify these arrangements. If any of our joint ventures are terminated, there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract new joint venture partners to continue the activities of the terminated joint venture or to operate independently in the countries in which the terminated joint venture conducted business.

Table of Contents

During fiscal year 2011, we recorded an impairment of $9.2 million related to our investment in MY Style. During fiscal year 2009, we recorded impairments of $25.7 million and $7.8 million ($4.8 million net of tax) related to our investment in Provalliance and investment in and loans to Intelligent Nutrients, LLC, respectively. Due to economic and other factors, we may be required to take additional impairment charges related to our investments and such impairments could be material to our consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. In addition, our joint venture partners may be required to take impairment charges related to long-lived assets and goodwill, and our share of such impairment charges could be material to our consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. Our share of our investment's goodwill balances as of June 30, 2011 is $102.1 million.

We are subject to default risk on our accounts and notes receivable.

We have outstanding accounts and notes receivable subject to collectability. If the counterparties are unable to repay the amounts due or if payment becomes unlikely our results of operations would be adversely affected. For example, during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 the Company recorded a $31.2 million valuation reserve on the note receivable from the purchaser of Trade Secret to reflect the net realizable value.

Changes in manufacturers' choice of distribution channels may negatively affect our revenues.

The retail products that we sell are licensed to be carried exclusively by professional salons. The products we purchase for sale in our salons are purchased pursuant to purchase orders, as opposed to long-term contracts and generally can be terminated by the producer without much advance notice. Should the various product manufacturers decide to utilize other distribution channels, such as large discount retailers, it could negatively impact the revenue earned from product sales.

Changes to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates may impact our results from operations.

Changes in interest rates will have an impact on our expected results from operations. Currently, we manage the risk related to fluctuations in interest rates through the use of variable rate debt instruments and other financial instruments.

We rely heavily on our management information systems. If our systems fail to perform adequately or if we experience an interruption in their operation, our results of operations may be affected.

The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our management information systems. We rely heavily on our management information systems to collect daily sales information and customer demographics, generate payroll information, monitor salon performance, manage salon staffing and payroll costs, inventory control and other functions. The failure of our management information systems to perform as we anticipate, or to meet the continuously evolving needs of our business, could disrupt our business and may adversely affect our operating results.

The Company plans to implement a new point-of-sale system in our salons during fiscal year 2012. Failure to effectively implement the point-of-sale system may adversely affect our operating results.

If we fail to protect the security of personal information about our customers, we could be subject to costly government enforcement actions or private litigation and our reputation could suffer.

The nature of our business involves processing, transmission and storage of personal information about our customers. If we experience a data security breach, we could be exposed to government enforcement actions and private litigation. In addition, our customers could lose confidence in our ability to protect their personal information, which could cause them to stop visiting our salons altogether. Such events could lead to lost future sales and adversely affect our results of operations.

Certain of the terms and provisions of the convertible notes we issued in July 2009 may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results and impose other risks.

In July 2009, we issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.0 percent convertible senior notes due 2014 in a public offering. Certain terms of the notes we issued may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results or impose other risks, such as the following:

•: Holders of notes may convert their notes into shares of our common stock, which may dilute the ownership interest of our shareholders,
•: If we elect to settle all or a portion of the conversion obligation exercised by holders of the notes through the payment of cash, it could adversely affect our liquidity,
•: Holders of notes may require us to purchase their notes upon certain fundamental changes, and any failure by us to purchase the notes in such event would result in an event of default with respect to the notes,
•: The fundamental change provisions contained in the notes may delay or prevent a takeover attempt of the Company that might otherwise be beneficial to our investors,
•: Recent changes in the accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash require us to include both the current period's amortization of the debt discount and the instrument's coupon interest as interest expense, which will decrease our financial results,
•: Our ability to pay principal and interest on the notes depends on our future operating performance and any failure by us to make scheduled payments could allow the note holders to declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable, result in termination of other debt commitments and foreclosure proceedings by other lenders, or force us into bankruptcy or liquidation, and
•: The debt obligations represented by the notes may limit our ability to obtain additional financing, require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay our debt, limit our ability to adjust rapidly to changing market conditions and increase our vulnerability to downtowns in general economic conditions in our business.

Item 2. Properties

The Company's corporate offices are headquartered in a 270,000 square foot, four building complex in Edina, Minnesota owned or leased by the Company. The Company also operates small offices in Toronto, Canada; Coventry and London, England; Boca Raton, Florida; and Chattanooga, Tennessee. These offices are occupied under long-term leases.

The Company owns distribution centers located in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Salt Lake City, Utah. The Chattanooga facility currently utilizes 230,000 square feet while the Salt Lake City facility utilizes 210,000 square feet. The Salt Lake City facility may be expanded to 290,000 square feet to accommodate future growth.

The Company operates all of its salon locations and hair restoration centers under leases or license agreements. Substantially all of its North American locations in regional malls are operating under leases with an original term of at least ten years. Salons operating within strip centers and Walmart Supercenters have leases with original terms of at least five years, generally with the ability to renew, at the Company's option, for one or more additional five year periods. Salons operating within department stores in Canada and Europe operate under license agreements, while freestanding or shopping center locations in those countries have real property leases comparable to the Company's domestic locations.

The Company also leases the premises in which certain franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with the franchisees. These leases have a five year initial term and one or more five year renewal options. All lease costs are passed through to the franchisees. Remaining franchisees, who do not enter into sublease arrangements with the Company, negotiate and enter into leases on their own behalf.

None of the Company's salon leases are individually material to the operations of the Company, and the Company expects that it will be able to renew its leases on satisfactory terms as they expire. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide wage and hour violations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the Company's counsel believes that the Company has valid defenses in these matters, it could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.

During fiscal year 2011, the Company settled a legal claim with the former owner of Hair Club for $1.7 million.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company settled two legal claims regarding certain customer and employee matters for an aggregate charge of $5.2 million plus a commitment to provide discount coupons. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, payments aggregating $4.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, were made.

The Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.06 per share during each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011. The Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.04 per share in fiscal years 2010, and during each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010. The Company expects to continue paying regular quarterly dividends in the foreseeable future.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that might incorporate future filings or this Annual Report, the following performance graph and accompanying data shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any such filings. In addition, they shall not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or "filed" with the SEC.

The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on the Company's stock for the last five years with the cumulative total return of the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index and the cumulative total return of a peer group index (the Peer Group) constructed by the Company. In addition, the Company has included the Standard and Poor's 400 Midcap Index and the Dow Jones Consumer Services Index in this analysis because the Company believes these two indices provide a comparative correlation to the cumulative total return of an investment in shares of Regis Corporation.

The Peer Group consists of the following companies: Advance Auto Parts, Inc., AutoZone, Inc., Brinker International, Inc., CBRL Group, Inc., DineEquity, Inc., Foot Locker, Inc., GameStop Corp., H&R Block, Inc., Jack in the Box, Inc., Papa John's International, Inc., PetSmart, Inc., RadioShack Corp., Service Corporation International, and Starbucks Corp. The Peer Group is a self-constructed peer group of companies that have comparable annual revenues, the customer service element is a critical component to the business, and a target of moderate customers in terms of income and style, excluding apparel companies.

(b) Share Repurchase Program

In May 2000, the Company's Board of Directors (BOD) approved a stock repurchase program. Originally, the program authorized up to $50.0 million to be expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock. The BOD elected to increase this maximum to $100.0 million in August 2003, to $200.0 million on May 3, 2005, and to $300.0 million on April 26, 2007. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. Historically, the repurchases to date have been made primarily to eliminate the dilutive effect of shares issued in conjunction with acquisitions, restricted stock grants and stock option exercises. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date. As of June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009, a total accumulated 6.8 million shares have been repurchased for $226.5 million. As of June 30, 2011, $73.5 million remains to be spent on share repurchases under this program.

The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock through its share repurchase program during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.

MANAGEMENT'S OVERVIEW

Regis Corporation (RGS) owns or franchises beauty salons and hair restoration centers. As of June 30, 2011, we owned, franchised or held ownership interests in approximately 12,700 worldwide locations. Our locations consisted of 9,819 system wide North American and International salons, 96 hair restoration centers, and 2,786 locations in which we maintain an ownership interest less than 100 percent. Our salon concepts offer generally similar products and services and serve mass market consumers. Our salon operations are organized to be managed based on geographical location. Our North American salon operations include 9,419 salons, including 1,936 franchise salons, operating in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico primarily under the trade names of Regis Salons, MasterCuts, SmartStyle, Supercuts and Cost Cutters. Our international salon operations include 400 salons located in Europe, primarily in the United Kingdom. Hair Club for Men and Women includes 96 North American locations, including 29 franchise locations. During fiscal year 2011, we had approximately 55,000 corporate employees worldwide.

Our fiscal year 2012 growth strategy is focused on increasing customer visits. We plan to execute our strategy through four focus areas of putting customers and stylists first, leveraging the power of our salon brands, technology and connectivity, and delivering improved financial performance. Initiatives of these four focus areas include:

•: Putting customers and stylists first through improving both the experience for the person in the chair and behind the chair. The Company will work on attracting, developing and retaining the best stylists through orientation programs, training and development and rewards and recognition.
•: Leveraging the power of our salon brands through focusing on the best brands within the best markets, enhanced focus and alignment and aggressive strategies including discounting.
•: Using technology and connectivity, including internet in the salons, to enhance effectiveness of field management and improve customer satisfaction and retention.
•: Delivering improved financial performance through undertaking cost savings initiatives in the range of $20.0 to $30.0 million with examples including renegotiated interest rates and a planned reduction in travel costs.

Salon Business

The strength of our salon business is in the fundamental similarity and broad appeal of our salon concepts that allow flexibility and multiple salon concept placements in shopping centers and neighborhoods. Each concept generally targets the middle market customer, however, each attracts a different demographic. We believe there are growth opportunities in all of our salon concepts. When commercial opportunities arise, we anticipate testing and developing new salon concepts to complement our existing concepts.

We execute our salon growth strategy by focusing on real estate. Our salon real estate strategy is to add new units in convenient locations with good visibility and customer traffic, as well as appropriate trade demographics. Our various salon and product concepts operate in a wide range of retailing environments, including regional shopping malls, strip centers and Walmart Supercenters. We believe that the availability of real estate will augment our ability to achieve the aforementioned long-term growth objectives. In fiscal 2012, our outlook for constructed salons is approximately 285 units. In fiscal year 2012, capital expenditures and acquisitions are expected to be approximately $95.0 and $25.0 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Organic salon revenue is achieved through the combination of new salon construction and salon same-store sales results. Once customer visitations stabilize, we expect we will continue with our historical trend of building several hundred company-owned salons. We anticipate our franchisees will open approximately 100 to 120 salons in fiscal year 2012. Older, unprofitable salons will be closed or relocated. Our long-term outlook for our salon business is annual consolidated low single digit same-store sales increases. We project our annual fiscal year 2012 consolidated same-store sales to be in a range of negative 1.0 percent to positive 1.0 percent.

Historically, our salon acquisitions have varied in size from as small as one salon to over one thousand salons. The median acquisition size is approximately ten salons. From fiscal year 1994 to fiscal year 2011, we acquired 8,050 salons, net of franchise buybacks. Once customer visitations normalize, we anticipate adding several hundred company-owned salons each year from acquisitions. Some of these acquisitions may include buying salons from our franchisees.

Hair Restoration Business

In December 2004, we acquired Hair Club for Men and Women. Hair Club for Men and Women is a provider of hair loss solutions with an estimated five percent share of the $4 billion domestic market. This industry is comprised of numerous locations domestically and is highly fragmented. As a result, we believe there is an opportunity to consolidate this industry through acquisition. Expanding the hair loss business organically and through acquisition would allow us to add incremental revenue which is neither dependent upon, nor dilutive to, our existing salon businesses.

Our organic growth plans for the hair restoration business include the construction of a modest number of new locations in untapped markets domestically and internationally. However, the success of our hair restoration business is not dependent on the same real estate criteria used for salon expansion. In an effort to provide confidentiality for our customers, our hair restoration centers operate primarily in professional or medical office buildings. Further, the hair restoration business is more marketing intensive. As a result, organic growth at our hair restoration centers will be dependent on successfully generating new leads and converting them into hair restoration customers. Our growth expectations for our hair restoration business are not dependent on referral business from, or cross marketing with, our hair salon business, but these concepts continue to be evaluated closely for additional growth opportunities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to make various judgments, estimates and assumptions that could have a significant impact on the results reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We base these estimates on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and (2) other materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Changes in these estimates could have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We believe the following accounting policies are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

Investment In and Loans to Affiliates

The Company has equity investments in securities of certain privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting. The Company also has loan receivables from certain of these entities. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded at the amount of the Company's investment and adjusted each period for the Company's share of the investee's income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company's investment may not be recoverable. During fiscal year 2011, we recorded an impairment of $9.2 million related to our investment in MY Style. During fiscal year 2009, we recorded impairments of $25.7 and $7.8 million ($4.8 million net of tax) related to our investment in Provalliance and investment in and loans to Intelligent Nutrients, LLC, respectively.

Note Receivables, Net

The note receivable balances within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet primarily include a note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret and a note receivable related to the Company's investment in MY Style. The balances are presented net of a valuation reserve for expected losses. The Company monitors the financial condition of its counterparties with an outstanding note receivable and records provisions for estimated losses on receivables when it believes the counterparties are unable to make their required payments. The valuation reserve is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to existing notes receivable.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company did not receive a scheduled interest payment related to the outstanding note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret, the fair value of the collateral decreased to a level below the carrying value of the outstanding note receivable, and the purchaser of Trade Secret provided the Company with a new five year business plan that was well below the purchaser of Trade Secret's original projections. Due to these factors that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company evaluated the note receivable for impairment based on a probability weighted expected future cash flow analysis. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company recorded a $9.0 million valuation reserve for the excess of the carrying value of the note receivable over the present value of expected future cash flows.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company did not receive a scheduled interest payment related to the outstanding note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret and the fair value of the collateral continued to decrease and was at a level significantly below the carrying value of the outstanding note receivable. In addition, the Company received updated financial projections that were below the projections received during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Due to these negative financial events in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company performed an extensive evaluation on the Company's option to realize the collateral under the note receivable and recorded an additional $22.2 million valuation reserve that fully reserved the carrying value of the note receivable as of June 30, 2011.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or at the time of a triggering event. In evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the carrying value of each reporting unit, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The carrying value of each reporting unit is based on the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the reporting unit, including allocation of shared or corporate balances among reporting units. Allocations are generally based on the number of salons in each reporting unit as a percent of total company-owned salons.

Table of Contents

future cash flows also take into consideration acquisition integration and maturation. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow. The Company considers its various concepts to be reporting units when testing for goodwill impairment because that is where the Company believes the goodwill resides. The Company periodically engages third-party valuation consultants to assist in evaluation of the Company's estimated fair value calculations.

In the situations where a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The measurement of impairment is calculated by determining the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all other assets and liabilities of that unit based on the relative fair values under the assumption of a taxable transaction. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amount assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value.

As a result of the Company's annual impairment analysis of goodwill as of February 28, 2011, a $74.1 million impairment charge was recorded within continuing operations for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill for the Promenade salon concept.

Historically, goodwill was tested annually for impairment during the third quarter, as of February 28, of each fiscal year. Effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company adopted a new accounting policy whereby the annual impairment review of goodwill will be performed during the fourth quarter, as of April 30 instead of the third quarter of each fiscal year. The change in the annual goodwill impairment testing date was made to better align the annual goodwill impairment test with the timing of the Company's annual budgeting process. The change in accounting principle does not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. Accordingly, the Company believes that the accounting change described above is preferable under the circumstances. As a result of the Company's annual impairment testing of goodwill performed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, no impairment charges were recorded.

As it is reasonably likely that there could be additional impairment of the Promenade salon concept's goodwill in future periods along with the sensitivity of the Company's critical assumptions in estimating fair value of this reporting unit, the Company has provided additional information related to this reporting unit.

A summary of the critical assumptions utilized during the annual impairment tests of the Promenade salon concept are outlined below:

Annual revenue growth. Annual revenue growth is primarily driven by assumed same-store sales rates of approximately negative 2.0 to positive 3.0 percent. Other considerations include anticipated economic conditions and moderate acquisition growth.

Gross margin. Adjusted for anticipated salon closures, new salon construction and acquisitions estimated future gross margins were held constant.

Fixed expense rates. Fixed expense rate increases of approximately 1.0 to 2.0 percent based on anticipated inflation. Fixed expenses consisted of rent, site operating, and allocated general and administrative corporate overhead.

Allocated corporate overhead. Corporate overhead incurred by the home office based on the number of Promenade company-owned salons as a percent of total company-owned salons.

Long-term growth. A long-term growth rate of 2.5 percent was applied to terminal cash flow based on anticipated economic conditions.

Table of Contents

Discount rate. A discount rate of 12.0 percent based on the weighted average cost of capital that equals the rate of return on debt capital and equity capital weighted in proportion to the capital structure common to the industry.

The following table summarizes the approximate impact that a change in certain critical assumptions would have on the estimated fair value of our Promenade salon concept reporting unit (the approximate impact of the change in the critical assumptions assumes all other assumptions and factors remain constant, in thousands, except percentages):

Critical Assumptions			Approximate Impact on Fair Value

			(In thousands)
Discount Rate	1.0	%	$	26,000
Same-Store Sales	(1.0	)		14,000

As of our fiscal year 2011 annual impairment tests, the estimated fair value of the Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying value by approximately 9.0 percent. As it is reasonably likely that there could be impairment of the Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit's goodwill in future periods along with the sensitivity of the Company's critical assumptions in estimating fair value of this reporting unit, the Company has provided additional information related to this reporting unit.

A summary of the critical assumptions utilized during the annual impairment tests of the Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit are outlined below:

Annual revenue growth. Annual revenue growth is primarily driven by assumed same-store sales rates of approximately positive 2.0 to positive 3.0 percent. Other considerations include anticipated economic conditions and moderate acquisition growth.

Gross margin. Adjusted for anticipated center closures, new center construction and acquisitions estimated future gross margins were held constant.

Allocated corporate overhead. Corporate overhead incurred by the home office is not allocated as the Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit incurs its own overhead.

Long-term growth. A long-term growth rate of 2.5 percent was applied to terminal cash flow based on anticipated economic conditions.

The following table summarizes the approximate impact that a change in certain critical assumptions would have on the estimated fair value of our Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit

goodwill balance (the approximate impact of the change in the critical assumptions assumes all other assumptions and factors remain constant, in thousands, except percentages):

Critical Assumptions			Approximate Impact on Fair Value

Same-Store Sales	(1.0	)		5,000

As of our fiscal year 2011 annual impairment test, the estimated fair value of the Regis salon concept exceeded its respective carrying value by approximately 18.0 percent. As it is reasonably likely that there could be impairment of the Regis salon concept's goodwill in future periods along with the sensitivity of the Company's critical assumptions in estimating fair value of this reporting unit, the Company has provided additional information related to this reporting unit.

A summary of the critical assumptions utilized during the annual impairment tests of the Regis salon concept are outlined below:

Annual revenue growth. Annual revenue growth is primarily driven by assumed same-store sales rates of approximately negative 1.0 to positive 3.0 percent. Other considerations include anticipated economic conditions and moderate acquisition growth.

Gross margin. Adjusted for anticipated salon closures, new salon construction and acquisitions estimated future gross margins were held constant.

Allocated corporate overhead. Corporate overhead incurred by the home office based on the number of Regis salons as a percent of total company-owned salons.

Long-term growth. A long-term growth rate of 2.5 percent was applied to terminal cash flow based on anticipated economic conditions.

The following table summarizes the approximate impact that a change in certain critical assumptions would have on the estimated fair value of our Regis salon concept goodwill balance (the approximate impact of the change in the critical assumptions assumes all other assumptions and factors remain constant, in thousands, except percentages):

Critical Assumptions			Approximate Impact on Fair Value

			(In thousands)
Discount Rate	1.0	%	$	13,000
Same-Store Sales	(1.0	)		10,000

The respective fair values of the Company's remaining reporting units exceeded fair value by greater than 20.0 percent. While the Company has determined the estimated fair values of the Promenade, Regis, and Hair Restoration Centers reporting units to be appropriate based on the projected level of revenue growth, operating income and cash flows, it is reasonably likely that the Promenade, Regis, and Hair Restoration Centers reporting units may become impaired in future

Table of Contents

periods. The term "reasonably likely" refers to an occurrence that is more than remote but less than probable in the judgment of the Company. Because some of the inherent assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of the reportable segments are outside the control of management, changes in these underlying assumptions can adversely impact fair value. Potential impairment of a portion or all of the carrying value of goodwill for the Promenade salon concept, Regis salon concept, and Hair Restoration Centers reporting units is dependent on many factors and cannot be predicted.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company's estimated fair value, as determined by the sum of our reporting units' fair value reconciled to within a reasonable range of our market capitalization which included an assumed control premium.

A summary of the Company's goodwill balance as of June 30, 2011 by reporting unit is as follows:

Reporting Unit	As of June 30, 2011		As of June 30, 2010

	(Dollars in thousands)
Regis	$	103,761	$	102,180
MasterCuts		4,652		4,652
SmartStyle		48,916		48,280
Supercuts		129,477		121,693
Promenade		240,910		309,804

Total North America Salons		527,716		586,609
Hair Restoration Centers		152,796		150,380

Consolidated Goodwill	$	680,512	$	736,989

As a result of the Company's annual impairment analysis of goodwill during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, a $35.3 million impairment charge was recorded within continuing operations for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill for the Regis salon concept.

As a result of the Company's interim impairment test of goodwill during the three months ended December 31, 2008, a $41.7 million impairment charge for the full carrying amount of goodwill within the salon concepts in the United Kingdom was recorded within continuing operations. The recent performance challenges of the international salon operations indicated that the estimated fair value was less than the current carrying of this reporting unit's net assets, including goodwill.

Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or the asset grouping may not be recoverable. Our impairment analysis on salon property and equipment is performed on a salon by salon basis. The Company's test for impairment is performed at a salon level as this is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Factors considered in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant under-performance of an individual salon in relation to expectations, significant economic or geographic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the related salon assets that does not recover the carrying value of the salon assets. When the sum of a salon's undiscounted estimated future cash flow is zero or negative, impairment is measured as the full carrying value of the related salon's equipment and leasehold improvements. When the sum of a salon's undiscounted cash flows is greater than zero but less than the carrying value of the related salon's equipment and leasehold improvements, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed to estimate the fair value of the salon assets and impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value

Table of Contents

of the salon assets and the estimated fair value. The fair value estimate is based on the best information available, including market data.

Judgments made by management related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and the ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the assets, changes in economic conditions and changes in operating performance. As the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of long-lived assets are assessed, these factors could cause us to realize material impairment charges.

During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, $6.7, $6.4, and $10.2 million, respectively, of impairment was recorded within depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In June 2009, we approved a plan to close up to 80 underperforming United Kingdom company-owned salons in fiscal year 2010 that was in addition to the July 2008 approved plan of closing up to 160 underperforming company-owned salons in fiscal year 2009. We also evaluated the appropriateness of the remaining useful lives of its affected property and equipment and whether a change to the depreciation charge was warranted.

Purchase Price Allocation

We make numerous acquisitions. The purchase prices are allocated to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. Fair value is estimated based on the amount for which the asset or liability could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. For our acquisitions, the majority of the purchase price that is not allocated to identifiable assets, or liabilities assumed, is accounted for as residual goodwill rather than identifiable intangible assets. This stems from the value associated with the walk-in customer base of the acquired salons, the value of which is not recorded as an identifiable intangible asset under current accounting guidance and the limited value of the acquired leased site and customer preference associated with the acquired hair salon brand. Residual goodwill further represents our opportunity to strategically combine the acquired business with our existing structure to serve a greater number of customers through our expansion strategies. Identifiable intangible assets purchased in fiscal year 2011, 2010, and 2009 acquisitions totaled $2.0, $0.1, and $1.3 million, respectively. The residual goodwill generated by fiscal year 2011, 2010, and 2009 acquisitions totaled $12.5, $2.6, and $30.8 million, respectively. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Self Insurance Accruals

The Company uses a combination of third party insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks including workers' compensation, health insurance, employment practice liability and general liability claims. The liability represents the Company's estimate of the undiscounted ultimate cost of uninsured claims incurred as of the balance sheet date.

The workers' compensation, general liability and employment practice liability analysis includes applying loss development factors to the Company's historical claims data (total paid and incurred amounts per claim) for all policy years where the Company has not reached its aggregate limits to project the future development of incurred claims. The workers' compensation analysis is performed for three models; California, Texas and all other states. A variety of accepted actuarial methodologies are followed to determine these liabilities, including several methods to predict the loss development factors for each policy period. These liabilities are determined by modeling the frequency (number of claims) and severity (cost of claims), fitting statistical distributions to the experience, and then running simulations. A similar analysis is performed for both general liability and employment practices liability;

Table of Contents

however, it is a single model for all liability claims rather than the three separate models used for workers' compensation.

The health insurance analysis utilizes trailing twelve months of paid and 24 months of incurred medical and prescription claims to project the amount of incurred but not yet reported claims liability amount. The lag factors are developed based on the Company's specific claim data utilizing a completion factor methodology. The developed factor, expressed as a percentage of paid claims, is applied to the trailing twelve months of paid claims to calculate the estimated liability amount. The calculated liability amount is reviewed for reasonableness based on reserve adequacy ranges for historical periods by testing prior reserve levels against actual expenses to date.

Although the Company does not expect the amounts ultimately paid to differ significantly from the estimates, self insurance accruals could be affected if future claims experience differs significantly from the historical trends and actuarial assumptions. For fiscal year 2011, the Company recorded an increase in expense from changes in estimates related to prior year open policy periods of $1.4 million. For fiscal years 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded decreases in expense from changes in estimates related to prior year open policy periods of $1.7 and $9.9 million, respectively. A 10.0 percent change in the self-insurance reserve would affect income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in income of affiliated companies by $4.6, $4.5, and $4.0 million for the three years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company updates loss projections twice each year and adjusts its recorded liability to reflect the current projections. The updated loss projections consider new claims and developments associated with existing claims for each open policy period. As certain claims can take years to settle, the Company has multiple policy periods open at any point in time.

Income Taxes

In determining income for financial statement purposes, management must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense.

Management must assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered. If recovery is not likely, we must increase our provision for taxes by recording a reserve, in the form of a valuation allowance, for the deferred tax assets that will not be ultimately recoverable. Should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, our tax provision would increase in the period in which it is determined that the recovery is not likely.

In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. Management recognizes a reserve for potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result. In the United States, fiscal years 2007 and after remain open for federal tax audit. The Company's United States federal income tax returns for the years 2007 through 2009 are currently under audit. For state tax audits, the statute of limitations generally spans three to four years, resulting in a number of states remaining open for tax audits dating back to fiscal year 2007. However, the Company is under audit in a number of states in which the statute of limitations has been extended for fiscal years 2000 and forward. Internationally (including Canada), the statute of limitations for tax audits varies by jurisdiction, but generally ranges from three to five years.

As of June 30, 2011 the Company's liability for uncertain tax positions was $13.5 million. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Contingencies

We are involved in various lawsuits and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Accruals are recorded for such contingencies based on our assessment that the occurrence is probable, and where determinable, an estimate of the liability amount. Management considers many factors in making these assessments including past history and the specifics of each case. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur, which could have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

During fiscal year 2011, the Company settled a legal claim with the former owner of Hair Club for $1.7 million.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company settled two legal claims regarding certain customer and employee matters for an aggregate charge of $5.2 million plus a commitment to provide discount coupons. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, the final payments aggregating $4.3 million were made.

OVERVIEW OF FISCAL YEAR 2011 RESULTS

The following summarizes key aspects of our fiscal year 2011 results:

•: Revenues decreased 1.4 percent to $2.3 billion during fiscal year 2011. The Company experienced a decline in customer visitation partially offset by an increase in average ticket price, resulting in a decrease in consolidated same-store sales of 1.7 percent. Fiscal year 2010 revenues included a one-time sale of $20.0 million of product to the purchaser of Trade Secret.
•: The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $74.1 million associated with our Promenade salon concept during fiscal year 2011.
•: Long-lived asset impairment charges of $6.7 million were recorded during fiscal year 2011.
•: The Company recorded a $31.2 million valuation reserve on the note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret.
•: During fiscal year 2011, the Company settled a legal claim with the former owner of Hair Club for $1.7 million.
•: The Company recorded a $9.2 million other than temporary impairment on its investment in preferred shares of Yamano Holdings Corporation and premium paid on an investment with a subsidiary of Yamano Holdings Corporation.
•: Upon the March 2011 acquisition of the approximately 17 percent additional ownership interest in Provalliance, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $2.4 million representing the settlement of a portion of the company's equity put liability and additional ownership of the Frank Provost Group in Provalliance.
•: Total debt at the end of fiscal year 2011 declined to $313.4 million and our debt-to-capitalization ratio, calculated as total debt as a percentage of total debt and shareholders' equity at fiscal year end, improved 700 basis points to 23.3 percent as compared to June 30, 2010. The decrease in debt-to-capitalization ratio from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to the repayment of an $85.0 million term loan during fiscal year 2011 and foreign currency translation adjustments due to the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar and British pound.
•: The annual effective income tax rate of 37.1 percent was impacted by employment credits related to the Small Business and Work Opportunity Tax Act of 2007 which benefited the effective income tax rate by 15.3 percent. Based upon current legislation these credits are

scheduled to expire on December 31, 2011. Partially offsetting the impact of the employment credits was the pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $74.1 million, recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011, which is only partially deductible for tax purposes.

Consolidated Revenues

Consolidated revenues primarily include revenues of company-owned salons, product and equipment sales to franchisees, hair restoration center revenues, and franchise royalties and fees. As compared to the prior fiscal year, consolidated revenues decreased 1.4 percent during fiscal year 2011 and decreased 2.9 percent during fiscal year 2010. The following table details our consolidated revenues by concept. All service revenues, product revenues (which include product and equipment sales to franchisees), and franchise royalties and fees are included within their respective concept within the table.

(1): Salon same-store sales are calculated on a daily basis as the total change in sales for company-owned salons which were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly and year-to-date salon same-store sales are the sum of the same-store sales computed on a daily basis. Salons relocated within a one mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. International same-store sales are calculated in local currencies so that foreign currency fluctuations do not impact the calculation. Management believes that same-store sales, a component of organic growth, are useful in determining the increase in salon revenues attributable to its organic growth (new salon construction and same-store sales growth) versus growth from acquisitions.
(2): Beginning with the period ended December 31, 2008, the operations of Trade Secret concept within the North American reportable segment were accounted for as discontinued operations. All periods presented reflect Trade Secret as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, Trade Secret revenues are excluded from this presentation.
(3): Trade Secret, Inc. was sold by Regis Corporation on February 16, 2009. The agreement included a provision that the Company would supply product to the purchaser of Trade Secret and provide certain administrative services for a transition period. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company generated revenue of $20.0 and $32.2 million in product revenues, respectively, which represented 0.8 and 1.3 percent of consolidated revenues, respectively. The agreement was substantially complete as of September 30, 2009.

The decreases of 1.4, 2.9, and 2.1 percent in consolidated revenues during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, were driven by the following:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues For the Years Ended June 30,

		(1.4	)%		(2.9	)%		(2.1	)%

We acquired 105 company-owned salons (including 78 franchise buybacks), and bought back four hair restoration centers from franchisees during fiscal year 2011 compared to 26 company-owned salons (including 23 franchise buybacks), and bought back zero hair restoration centers from franchisees during fiscal year 2010. The decline in organic sales during fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to consolidated same-store sales decrease of 1.7 percent due to a decline in same-store customer visits, partially offset by an increase in average ticket. The decline in organic sales was also due to the completion of an agreement in the prior year to supply the purchaser of Trade Secret product at cost. The Company generated revenues of $20.0 million for product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. Partially offsetting the organic sales decrease was the construction of 146 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. We closed 305 and 269 salons (including 60 and 65 franchise salons) during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We acquired 26 company-owned salons (including 23 franchise buybacks), and bought back zero hair restoration centers from franchisees during fiscal year 2010 compared to 177 company-owned salons (including 83 franchise buybacks), and bought back two hair restoration centers from franchisees during fiscal year 2009. The decline in organic sales during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to consolidated same-store sales decrease of 3.2 percent due to a decline in same-store customer visits, partially offset by an increase in average ticket. The decline in organic sales was also due to the completion of an agreement to supply the purchaser of Trade Secret product at cost. The Company generated revenues of $20.0 and $32.2 million for product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Partially offsetting the organic sales decrease was the construction of 143 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. We closed 269 and 281 salons (including 65 and 51 franchise salons) during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

During fiscal year 2011, the foreign currency impact was driven by the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar and British pound, as compared to the prior fiscal year's exchange rates. During fiscal year 2010, the foreign currency impact was driven by the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the United Stated dollar against the British pound and Euro as compared to the prior fiscal year's exchange rates. During fiscal year 2009, the foreign currency impact was driven by the strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, British pound, and Euro as compared to the prior fiscal year's exchange rates. Consolidated revenues are primarily composed of service and product revenues,

Table of Contents

as well as franchise royalties and fees. Fluctuations in these three major revenue categories were as follows:

Service Revenues. Service revenues include revenues generated from company-owned salons and service revenues generated by hair restoration centers. Consolidated service revenues were as follows:

			Decrease Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Revenues		Dollar			Percentage
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	1,762,974	$	(21,163	)		(1.2	)%
2010		1,784,137		(49,821	)		(2.7	)
2009		1,833,958		(28,532	)		(1.5	)

The decrease in service revenues during fiscal year 2011 was due to same-store service sales decreasing 2.3 percent, as a result of a decline in same-store customer visits. Partially offsetting the decrease was growth due to new and acquired salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, price increases, sales mix as the company continues to increase hair color and waxing services, and the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.

The decrease in service revenues during fiscal year 2010 was due to same-store service sales decreasing 3.4 percent, as many consumers have continued to lengthen their visitation pattern due to the economy. In addition, service revenues decreased due to the strengthening of the United States dollar against the British pound. Partially offsetting the decrease was growth due to acquisitions during the twelve months and the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

The decrease in service revenues during fiscal year 2009 was due to same-store service sales decreasing 2.5 percent. Same-store service sales decreased 2.5 percent due to a decline in customer visits. Service revenues were also negatively impacted due to the strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, British pound, and Euro and the deconsolidation of the European franchise salon operations on January 31, 2008. Partially offsetting the decrease was growth due to acquisitions during the twelve months and an increase in average ticket.

Product Revenues. Product revenues are primarily sales at company-owned salons and hair restoration centers, and sales of product and equipment to franchisees. Consolidated product revenues were as follows:

			(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Revenues		Dollar			Percentage
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	523,194	$	(11,399	)		(2.1	)%
2010		534,593		(21,612	)		(3.9	)
2009		556,205		4,919			0.9

The decrease in product revenues during fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to the decrease in product sales to the purchaser of Trade Secret from $20.0 million in fiscal year 2010 to zero in fiscal year 2011. Partially offsetting the decrease was same-store product sales increasing 0.4 percent, product sales from new and acquired salons, and the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.

The decrease in product revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the decrease in product sales to the purchaser of Trade Secret from $32.2 in fiscal year 2009 to $20.0 in fiscal year

Table of Contents

2010, as well as due to same-store product sales decreasing 2.3 percent and the strengthening of the United States dollar against the British pound. Partially offsetting the decrease was the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

The growth in product revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to product sales of $32.2 million to the purchaser of Trade Secret, partially offset by same-store product sales decreasing 5.1 percent. Same-store product sales decreased 5.1 percent during the fiscal year 2009 due to a decline in customer visits and a change in product mix, as a larger percentage of product sales came from promotional items.

Royalties and Fees. Consolidated franchise revenues, which include royalties and franchise fees, were as follows:

			(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Revenues		Dollar			Percentage
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	39,701	$	(3	)		(0.0	)%
2010		39,704		80			0.2
2009		39,624		(27,991	)		(41.4	)

Total franchise locations open at June 30, 2011 and 2010 were 1,965 (including 29 franchise hair restoration centers) and 2,053 (including 33 franchise hair restoration centers), respectively. The decrease in franchise locations was offset by the impact of the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar.

Total franchise locations open at June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 2,053 (including 33 franchise hair restoration centers) and 2,078 (including 33 franchise hair restoration centers), respectively. The increase in consolidated franchise revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

Total franchise locations open at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 2,078 (including 33 franchise hair restoration centers) and 2,134 (including 35 franchise hair restoration centers), respectively. The decrease in consolidated franchise revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to the merger of the 1,587 European franchise salon operations with Franck Provost Salon Group on January 31, 2008.

Gross Margin (Excluding Depreciation)

Our cost of revenues primarily includes labor costs related to salon employees and hair restoration center employees, the cost of product used in providing services and the cost of products sold to customers and franchisees. The resulting gross margin was as follows:

						(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Gross Margin		Margin as % of Service and Product Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)

Service Margin (Excluding Depreciation). Service margin was as follows:

						(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Service Margin		Margin as % of Service Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	750,106		42.5	%	$	(18,311	)		(2.4	)%		(60	)

(1): Represents the basis point change in service margin as a percent of service revenues as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point decrease in service margins as a percent of service revenues during fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to an unexpected increase in salon health insurance costs due to several unusually large claims and an increase in payroll taxes as a result of states increasing unemployment taxes.

The basis point improvement in service margins as a percent of service revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the benefit of the new leveraged salon pay plans implemented in the 2009 calendar year. Increases in salon health insurance and payroll taxes partially offset the basis point improvement.

The basis point improvement in service margins as a percent of service revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to an improvement in labor expenses. Labor expenses improved as a result of cost control initiatives and new leveraged salon pay plans.

Product Margin (Excluding Depreciation). Product margin was as follows:

						Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Product Margin		Margin as % of Product Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)

Trade Secret, Inc. was sold by Regis Corporation on February 16, 2009. The agreement included a provision that Regis Corporation would supply product to the purchaser at cost for a transition period. The agreement was substantially completed as of September 30, 2009.

The following tables breakout product revenues, cost of product and product margin as a percent of product revenues between product and product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret.

Margin on product sold to purchaser of Trade Secret		—			—			—
Total product margin		52.2	%		50.6	%		49.1	%

The basis point decrease in product margin other than sold to purchaser of Trade Secret as a percentage of product revenues during fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to an increase in sales of slightly lower-profit margin appliances in our International segment and an increase in the cost of hair systems in our Hair Restoration Centers segment, partially offset by reduced commissions paid to new employees on retail product sales in our North American segment.

The basis point improvement in product margin other than sold to purchaser of Trade Secret as a percentage of product revenues during fiscal year 2010 was due to a planned reduction in retail commissions paid to new employees on retail product sales.

The basis point improvement in product margin other than sold to purchaser of Trade Secret as a percentage of product revenues during fiscal year 2009 was due to selling higher cost inventories in fiscal year 2008 obtained in conjunction with several acquisitions. In addition, product margins improved due to the deconsolidation of the European franchise salon operations and a write-off of slow moving inventories in fiscal year 2008. Partially offsetting the improvement was mix play, as a larger than expected percentage of product sales came from lower-margin promotional items. We are not promoting or discounting at a higher rate, but we are continuing to see customers be more value-focused through buying promotional items at a higher rate than prior periods.

Site Operating Expenses

This expense category includes direct costs incurred by our salons and hair restoration centers, such as on-site advertising, workers' compensation, insurance, utilities and janitorial costs. Site operating expenses were as follows:

						(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Site Operating		Expense as % of Consolidated Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	197,722		8.5	%	$	(1,616	)		(0.8	)%		—

Site operating expenses as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2011 was consistent with fiscal year 2010. A reduction in legal claims expense and a favorable sales tax audit

Table of Contents

adjustment were offset by a planned increase in advertising expense within the Company's Promenade concept and an increase in self insurance accruals.

The basis point increase in site operating expenses as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to higher self insurance expense. The Company recorded a reduction in self insurance accruals of $1.7 million in fiscal year 2010 compared to a $9.9 million reduction in fiscal year 2009. In addition the Company settled two legal claims related to customer and employee matters resulting in a $5.2 million charge during fiscal year 2010.

The basis point increase in site operating expenses as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to the reclassification of rubbish removal and utilities that we pay our landlords as part of our operating lease agreements from rent into site operating expense. Partially offsetting the basis point increase was an incremental $3.0 million benefit due to the reduction in self insurance accruals compared to the fiscal year 2008 reduction in self insurance accruals. The reduction was primarily related to prior years' workers' compensation reserves as a result of successful safety and return-to-work programs implemented over the past few years.

General and Administrative

General and administrative (G&A) includes costs associated with our field supervision, salon training and promotions, product distribution centers and corporate offices (such as salaries and professional fees), including costs incurred to support franchise and hair restoration center operations. G&A expenses were as follows:

						Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	G&A		Expense as % of Consolidated Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	339,857		14.6	%	$	47,866			16.4	%		220
2010		291,991		12.4			330			0.1			40
2009		291,661		12.0			(29,902	)		(9.3	)		(100	)

(1): Represents the basis point change in G&A as a percent of consolidated revenues as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point increase in G&A costs as a percentage of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to the $31.2 million valuation reserve on the note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret, incremental costs associated with the Company's senior management restructure, expenditures associated with the Regis salon concept re-imaging project, professional fees incurred related to the exploration of strategic alternatives and information technology projects, legal claims expense and negative leverage on fixed costs within this category due to negative same-store sales.

The basis point increase in G&A costs as a percentage of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to negative leverage from the decrease in same-store sales, partially offset by the continuation of cost savings initiatives implemented by the Company.

The basis point improvement in G&A costs as a percentage of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to cost savings initiatives implemented by the Company during the first half of fiscal year 2009 including the reduction of field supervisory staff and the reduction of the fiscal year 2009 marketing budget. The basis point improvement was also related to the deconsolidation of the European franchise salon operations.

Rent

Rent expense, which includes base and percentage rent, common area maintenance and real estate taxes, was as follows:

						(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Rent		Expense as % of Consolidated Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	342,286		14.7	%	$	(1,812	)		(0.5	)%		10
2010		344,098		14.6			(3,694	)		(1.1	)		30
2009		347,792		14.3			(13,684	)		(3.8	)		(30	)

(1): Represents the basis point change in rent expense as a percent of consolidated revenues as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point increase in rent expense as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to negative leverage in this fixed cost category due to negative same-store sales, partially offset by a favorable reduction to our common area maintenance expenses.

The basis point increase in rent expense as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to negative leverage in this fixed cost category, partially offset by a reduction in our percentage rent payments, both due to negative same-store sales.

The basis point improvement in rent expense as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to the reclassification of rubbish removal and utilities that we pay our landlords as part of our operating lease agreements to site operating expense from rent expense. Partially offsetting the basis point improvement was negative leverage in this fixed cost category due to negative same-store sales.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense (D&A) was as follows:

						(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	D&A		Expense as % of Consolidated Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	105,109		4.5	%	$	(3,655	)		(3.4	)%		(10	)
2010		108,764		4.6			(6,891	)		(6.0	)		(20	)
2009		115,655		4.8			2,362			2.1			20

(1): Represents the basis point change in depreciation and amortization as a percent of consolidated revenues as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point decrease in D&A as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense from a reduction in salon construction beginning in fiscal year 2009 as compared to historical levels prior to fiscal year 2009. The basis point decrease was partially offset by negative leverage from the decrease in same-store sales.

The basis point improvement in D&A as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to a reduction in the impairment of property and equipment at underperforming locations as compared to fiscal year 2009. The Company recorded impairment charges of $6.4 and $10.2 million during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Partially offsetting the improvements was a decline due to negative leverage from the decrease in same-store sales.

The basis point increase in D&A as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to the decrease in same-store sales. In addition, the Company recorded impairment charges of $10.2 million related to the impairment of property and equipment at underperforming locations, including those salons under the Company approved plan to close up to 80 underperforming United Kingdom company-owned salons.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill impairment was as follows:

						Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Goodwill Impairment		Expense as % of Consolidated Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	74,100		3.2	%	$	38,823			110.1	%		170

2009		41,661		1.7			41,661			100.0			170

(1): Represents the basis point change in goodwill impairment as a percent of consolidated revenues as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The Company recorded a $74.1 million goodwill impairment charge related to the Promenade salon concept during fiscal year 2011. Due to lower than expected earnings and same-store sales, the estimated fair value of the Promenade salon operations was less than the carrying value of this concept's net assets, including goodwill. The $74.1 million impairment charge was the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill for the Promenade salon operations.

The Company recorded a $35.3 million goodwill impairment charge related to the Regis salon concept during fiscal year 2010. Due to the current economic conditions, the estimated fair value of the Regis salon operations was less than the carrying value of this concept's net assets, including goodwill. The $35.3 million impairment charge was the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill for the Regis salon operations.

The Company recorded a $41.7 million goodwill impairment charge related to the salon concepts in the United Kingdom during fiscal year 2009. The recent performance challenges of the international salon operations indicated that the estimated fair value of the international salon operations was less than the current carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets, including goodwill. There is no remaining goodwill recorded within the salon concepts in the United Kingdom.

Lease Termination Costs

Lease termination costs were as follows:

						(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Lease Termination Costs		Expense as % of Consolidated Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)

(1): Represents the basis point change in lease termination costs as a percent of consolidated revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

Table of Contents

As the Company's July 2008 and June 2009 plans to close underperforming company-owned salons were substantially complete as of June 30, 2010, the Company did not incur lease termination costs during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.

The fiscal year 2010 lease termination costs are associated with the Company's June 2009 plan to close underperforming United Kingdom company-owned salons in fiscal year 2010. During fiscal year 2010 we closed 29 salons under the June 2009 plan.

The fiscal year 2009 lease termination costs are primarily associated with the Company's July 2008 plan to close underperforming company-owned salons in fiscal year 2009. The planned closures in fiscal year 2009 included salons in North America and the United Kingdom. During fiscal year 2009 we closed 64 salons under the July 2008 plan.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was as follows:

						(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Interest		Expense as % of Consolidated Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	34,388		1.5	%	$	(20,026	)		(36.8	)%		(80	)
2010		54,414		2.3			14,646			36.8			70
2009		39,768		1.6			(4,511	)		(10.2	)		(20	)

(1): Represents the basis point change in interest expense as a percent of consolidated revenues as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point improvement in interest as a percent of consolidated revenues during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to a reduction in interest expense due to the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 including $18.0 million of make-whole payments and other fees associated with the repayment of private placement debt, and decreased debt levels during fiscal year 2011.

The basis point increase in interest as a percent of consolidated revenues during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to $18.0 million of make-whole payments and other fees associated with the repayment of private placement debt. The increase due to the make-whole payments and other fees was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense due to decreased debt levels.

The basis point improvement in interest as a percent of consolidated revenues during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to lower average interest rates on variable rate debt and decreased debt levels as a result of the Company's commitment to reduce debt levels.

Interest Income and Other, net

Interest income and other, net was as follows:

						(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Interest		Income as % of Consolidated Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	4,811		0.2	%	$	(5,599	)		(53.8	)%		(20	)

(1): Represents the basis point change in interest income and other, net as a percent of consolidated revenues as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point decrease in the interest income and other, net as a percent of consolidated revenues during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the foreign currency impact of the Company's investment in MY Style, $1.9 million received from the purchaser of Trade Secret in the comparable prior period for administrative services, and $1.9 million in interest income recorded in the comparable prior period on the outstanding note receivable due from the purchaser of Trade Secret.

Interest income and other, net as a percent of consolidated revenues during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 was consistent with the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. Interest income increased as a result of higher cash balances available to earn interest, partially offset by a decline in rates.

The basis point improvement in interest income and other, net as a percent of consolidated revenues during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the Company receiving $2.9 million for administrative services from the purchaser of Trade Secret and foreign currency transaction gains. Partially offsetting the basis point improvement was a decrease in interest income due to a decline in interest rates.

Income Taxes

Our reported effective tax rate was as follows:

Years Ended June 30,

2011	(37.1	)%	(8,520	)
2010	48.1		(520	)
2009	53.3		1,380

(1): Represents the basis point change in income tax expense as a percent of (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in income (loss) of affiliated companies as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

For fiscal year 2011, the Company reported a $25.6 million loss from continuing operations before income taxes as compared to income from continuing operations before income taxes of $53.2 and $78.8 million in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. The rate reconciliation items have a greater impact on the annual effective income tax rate in fiscal year 2011 as the magnitude of the loss from continuing operations before income taxes is less than the magnitude of income from continuing operations before income taxes in fiscal year 2010. The annual effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the employment credits related to the Small Business and Work Opportunity Tax Act of 2007. Based upon current legislation, these credits are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2011. Partially

Table of Contents

offsetting the favorable impact of the employment credits was the adverse impact of the pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $74.1 million recorded during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, which is only partially deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, the foreign income taxes at other than U.S. rates adversely impacted the annual effective tax rate due to a decrease in foreign income from continuing operations before income taxes and other foreign non-deductible items.

The basis point improvement in our overall effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in the impact of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded during the year ended June 30, 2010 compared to the impact of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded during the year ended June 30, 2009 and an increase in the employment credits received. In addition, a 0.9 percent decrease in the tax rate was due to adjustments to the income tax balances, which had a smaller impact than the charge recorded in the prior year related to the adjustment of prior year deferred income taxes.

The basis point increase in our overall effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of the pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $41.7 million recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2008 which caused an increase in the tax rate of 14.5 percent. The majority of the impairment charge was not deductible for tax purposes. In addition, a 4.8 percent increase in the tax rate was due to an adjustment of prior year deferred income taxes. Offsetting the unfavorable shifts in the income tax rate was a 7.3 percent decrease in the tax rate due to the release of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits upon the expiration of the statute of limitation in federal, state and international jurisdictions.

Equity in Income (Loss) of Affiliated Companies, Net of Income Taxes

Equity in income (loss) of affiliates, representing the income or loss generated by our equity investment in Empire Education Group, Inc., Provalliance, and other equity method investments was as follows:

				(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

	Equity Income (Loss)			(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
Years Ended June 30,	Equity Income (Loss)			Dollar			Percentage
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	7,228		$	(4,714	)		(39.5	)%
2010		11,942			41,788			140.0
2009		(29,846	)		(30,695	)		(3,615.4	)

Equity in income of affiliated companies, net of taxes for the year ended June 30, 2011 was due to equity in income of $7.8, $5.5 and $0.6 million recorded for our investments in Provalliance, EEG and Hair Club for Men, Ltd., respectively. In addition, the Company recorded a $9.0 million impairment loss related to the Company's investment in MY Style. The impairment charge was based on the decline in equity value of MY Style as a result of changes in projected revenue growth after the natural disasters that occurred in Japan during March 2011. The Company also recorded a $2.4 million net gain related to the settlement of a portion of the Company's equity put liability and additional ownership of the Frank Provost Group in Provalliance.

Equity in income of affiliated companies, net of taxes for the year ended June 30, 2010 was due to equity in income of $4.1, $6.4 and $0.9 million recorded for our investments in Provalliance, EEG and Hair Club for Men, Ltd., respectively.

The increase in losses of affiliated companies, net of taxes for the year ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the impairment losses of $25.7 and $4.8 million, on our investment in Provalliance and investment in and loans to Intelligent Nutrients, LLC, respectively. Primarily the result of the weakened economy across continental Europe, Provalliance had recorded income at levels much less than

Table of Contents

expected by Regis management during the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. In addition, Provalliance significantly increased its debt levels resulting from acquisitions since January 31, 2008 but had significantly reduced future income expectations as a result of current economic conditions. The Company calculated the estimated fair value of Provalliance based on discounted future cash flows that utilize estimates in annual revenue growth, gross margins, capital expenditures, income taxes and long-term growth for determining terminal value. The discounted cash flow model utilizes projected financial results based on Provalliance's business plans and historical trends. The increased debt and reduced earnings expectations reduced the fair value of Provalliance as of June 30, 2009. Accordingly, the Company could no longer justify the carrying amount of its investment in Provalliance and recorded a $25.7 million other than temporary impairment charge in its fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009. The $4.8 million impairment charge was based on Intelligent Nutrients, LLC's inability to develop a professional organic brand of shampoo and conditioner with broad consumer appeal. The Company determined the losses in value to be other than temporary. Partially offsetting the impairment losses was equity in income recorded for our investments in Provalliance, EEG and Hair Club for Men, Ltd. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of each respective affiliated company.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, net of Taxes

Income (loss) from discontinued operations was as follows:

				(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

	Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes			(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
Years Ended June 30,	Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes			Dollar			Percentage

2011	$	—		$	(3,161	)		(100.0	)%

2009		(131,436	)		(132,739	)		(10,187.2	)

During fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded a $3.0 million tax benefit in discontinued operations to correct the prior year calculation of the income tax benefit related to the disposition of the Trade Secret Salon concept.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, we concluded that our Trade Secret concept was held for sale and presented it as discontinued operations for all comparable prior periods. The loss from discontinued operations during fiscal year 2009 represents operating losses and non-cash impairment charges of $183.3 million. The decrease in income from discontinued operations during fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to same-store sales decreasing 7.9 percent and reduced retail product margins, largely the result of recent salon acquisitions which have lower product margins. The decrease in income from discontinued operations during fiscal year 2008 was also due to long-lived asset impairment charges of $4.4 million in fiscal year 2008 as compared to $1.7 million during fiscal year 2007. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effects of Inflation

We compensate some of our salon employees with percentage commissions based on sales they generate, thereby enabling salon payroll expense as a percent of company-owned salon revenues to remain relatively constant. Accordingly, this provides us certain protection against inflationary increases, as payroll expense and related benefits (our major expense components) are variable costs of sales. In addition, we may increase pricing in our salons to offset any significant increases in wages. Therefore, we do not believe inflation has had a significant impact on the results of our operations.

Constant Currency Presentation

The presentation below demonstrates the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from year to year. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year. Therefore, the foreign currency impact is equal to current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in the average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, foreign currency translation had a favorable impact on consolidated revenues due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar and British Pound against the United States dollar.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, foreign currency translation had a favorable impact on consolidated revenues due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar, partially offset by the weakening of the British pound and Euro against the United States dollar.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact on consolidated revenues due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar, British pound, and Euro against the United States dollar.

Results of Operations by Segment

Based on our internal management structure, we report three segments: North American salons, International salons and Hair Restoration Centers. Significant results of operations are discussed below with respect to each of these segments.

North American Salons

North American Salon Revenues. Total North American salon revenues were as follows:

			(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

			(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year						Same-Store Sales Decrease
Years Ended June 30,	Revenues		Dollar			Percentage			Same-Store Sales Decrease
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	2,029,944	$	(30,619	)		(1.5	)%		(1.8	)%

2009		2,117,698		27,952			1.3			(2.9	)

Table of Contents

The percentage (decreases) increases during the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were due to the following factors:

	Percentage (Decrease) Increase in Revenues For the Years Ended June 30,

Factor	2011			2010			2009
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)		1.2	%		0.8	%		3.7	%
Organic		(1.7	)		(3.6	)		(0.9	)
Foreign currency		0.5			0.5			(0.9	)

Closed salons		(1.5	)		(0.4	)		(0.5	)

		(1.5	)%		(2.7	)%		1.3	%

We acquired 105 North American salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, including 78 franchise buybacks. The decline in organic sales was the result of a same-store sales decrease of 1.8 percent due to a decline in same-store customer visits, partially offset by an increase in average ticket. Contributing to the organic sales decline during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was the completion of an agreement to supply the purchaser of Trade Secret product at cost. The Company generated revenues of $20.0 million for product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2011 resulted primarily from the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar.

We acquired 26 North American salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, including 23 franchise buybacks. The decline in organic sales was the result of a same-store sales decrease of 3.3 percent due to a decline in same-store customer visits, partially offset by an increase in average ticket. Contributing to the organic sales decline during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 was the completion of an agreement to supply the purchaser of Trade Secret product at cost. The Company generated revenues of $20.0 and $32.2 million for product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2010 resulted from the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar as compared to the exchange rate for fiscal year 2009.

We acquired 177 North American salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, including 83 franchise buybacks. The organic decrease was due primarily to same-store sales decrease of 2.9 percent, partially offset by the construction of 168 company-owned salons in North America and $32.2 million of product sales to the purchaser of Trade Secret during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2009 resulted from the strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar as compared to the exchange rate for fiscal year 2008.

2009		275,628		13.0			(10,227	)		(3.6	)		(70	)

(1): Represents the basis point change in North American salon operating income as a percent of total North American salon revenues as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point decrease in North American salon operating income as a percent of North American salon revenues during fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to the $74.1 million goodwill impairment of the Company's Promenade salon concept and negative leverage in fixed cost categories due to negative same-store sales. Partially offsetting the basis point decrease was lower depreciation expense due to a reduction in salon construction.

The basis point decrease in North American salon operating income as a percent of North American salon revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the $35.3 million goodwill impairment of the Company's Regis salon concept and negative leverage in fixed cost categories due to negative same-store sales. In addition, the basis point decrease was due to the settlement of two legal claims regarding customer and employee matters totaling $5.2 million, higher self insurance expense (the Company recorded reduction in self insurance accruals of $1.7 million in the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a $9.9 million reduction in the twelve months ended June 30, 2009), partially offset by the Company's cost saving initiatives and gross margin improvement.

The basis point decrease in North American salon operating income as a percent of North American salon revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to negative leverage in fixed cost categories due to negative same-store sales and lease termination costs associated with the Company's plan to close underperforming company-owned salons. In addition, the basis point decrease was due to an increase in North American revenues of $32.2 million related to product sales to the purchaser of Trade Secret at cost.

International Salons

International Salon Revenues. Total International salon revenues were as follows:

			Decrease Over Prior Fiscal Year

			Decrease Over Prior Fiscal Year						Same-Store Sales Decrease
Years Ended June 30,	Revenues		Dollar			Percentage			Same-Store Sales Decrease
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	150,237	$	(5,848	)		(3.7	)%		(3.1	)%

2009		171,569		(84,494	)		(33.0	)		(7.2	)

Table of Contents

The percentage (decreases) increases during the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were due to the following factors:

	Percentage (Decrease) Increase in Revenues For the Years Ended June 30,

	2011			2010			2009

Closed salons		(3.7	)		(7.6	)		(4.5	)

		(3.7	)%		(9.0	)%		(33.0	)%

We did not acquire any International salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. The organic sales decrease was primarily due to a decrease in same-store sales of 3.1 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, partially offset by the rebranding of certain salons that had previously been operating under a different salon concept. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2011 resulted from the weakening of the United States dollar against the British Pound. We closed 15 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.

We did not acquire any International salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The organic sales increase was primarily due to the rebranding of certain salons that had previously been operating under a different salon concept, partially offset by a decrease in same-store sales of 3.8 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2010 resulted from the weakening of the United States dollar against the British Pound and Euro as compared to the exchange rates for fiscal year 2009. We closed 42 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, of which 29 related to the June 2009 plan to close underperforming salons in the United Kingdom.

We did not acquire any International salons during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. The organic sales decline was primarily due to a decrease of same-store sales of 7.2 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, partially offset by the four company-owned international salons constructed. The foreign currency impact during fiscal year 2009 resulted from the strengthening of the United States dollar against the British Pound and Euro as compared to the exchange rates for fiscal year 2008. Franchise revenues decreased primarily due to the merger of our continental Europe franchise salon operations with Franck Provost Salon Group on January 31, 2008.

International Salon Operating Income (Loss). Operating income (loss) for the International salons was as follows:

Table of Contents

The basis point improvement in International salon operating income as a percent of International salon revenues during fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to $2.1 million of lease termination costs recognized during fiscal year 2010 associated with the Company's planned closure of underperforming salons. Partially offsetting the basis point improvement was a decline on product margins from mix play, as a larger than expected percentage of our product sales came from lower-margin products.

The basis point improvement in International salon operating income as a percent of International salon revenues during fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the comparable prior period including a $41.7 million goodwill impairment of the United Kingdom reporting unit and higher impairment charges related to the impairment of property and equipment at underperforming locations. In addition the Company's planned closure of underperforming United Kingdom salons and the continuation of the Company's expense control and payroll management contributed to the basis point improvement during fiscal year 2010.

The basis point decrease in International salon operating income as a percent of International salon revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to negative same-store sales and the $41.7 million goodwill impairment of the United Kingdom reporting unit during the fiscal year 2009.

Hair Restoration Centers

Hair Restoration Center Revenues. Total Hair Restoration Centers revenues were as follows:

We acquired four hair restoration centers during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, all of which were franchise buybacks, and constructed three hair restoration centers during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in organic Hair Restoration Centers revenues during fiscal year 2011 was due to the increase in same-store sales of 1.2 percent.

ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in organic Hair Restoration Centers revenues during fiscal year 2009 was due to the decrease in same-store sales of 0.8 percent.

Hair Restoration Center Operating Income. Operating income for our Hair Restoration Centers was as follows:

						Decrease Over Prior Fiscal Year

Years Ended June 30,	Operating Income		Operating Income as % of Total Revenues			Dollar			Percentage			Basis Point(1)

The basis point decrease in Hair Restoration Centers operating income as a percent of Hair Restoration Centers revenues during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to an increase in the cost of hair systems and expenses associated with a legal claim. Partially offsetting the basis point decrease was a benefit related to a favorable ruling on a state sales tax issue.

The basis point decrease in Hair Restoration Centers operating income as a percent of Hair Restoration Centers revenues during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in advertising spend and the settlement of a vendor dispute totaling $0.6 million.

The basis point decrease in Hair Restoration Centers operating income as a percent of Hair Restoration Centers revenues during fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to lower operating margins on newly constructed and acquired centers and negative leverage in fixed cost categories due to negative same-store sales.

Unallocated Corporate

Unallocated Corporate Operating Loss. Unallocated corporate operating expenses include salaries, stock-based compensation, professional fees, rent, depreciation and other expenses that are not allocated. Unallocated corporate operating losses were as follows:

				Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year

	Operating Loss			Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
Years Ended June 30,	Operating Loss			Dollar			Percentage
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	(187,703	)	$	37,950			25.3	%
2010		(149,753	)		4,808			3.3
2009		(144,945	)		(7,402	)		(4.9	)

The increase in unallocated corporate operating loss during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to the $31.2 million valuation reserve on the note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret, incremental costs associated with the Company's senior management restructure, professional fees incurred related to the exploration of strategic alternatives and information technology projects and legal claims expense.

The increase in unallocated corporate operating loss during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to an increase in professional fees and distribution costs from an agreement with the purchaser of Trade Secret.

Table of Contents

The decrease in unallocated corporate operating loss during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to the cost savings initiatives implemented during the first half of fiscal year 2009 and a reduction in professional fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet to support system growth and financial flexibility. Our debt to capitalization ratio, calculated as total debt as a percentage of total debt and shareholders' equity at fiscal year end, was as follows:

As of June 30,

2011	23.3	%	(700	)
2010	30.3		(1,380	)
2009	44.1		20

(1): Represents the basis point change in debt to capitalization as compared to prior fiscal year end (June 30).

The basis point improvement in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010 was primarily due to the repayment of an $85.0 million term loan during fiscal year 2011 and foreign currency translation adjustments due to the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar and British Pound.

The basis point improvement in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the July 2009 common stock offering and decreased debt levels stemming from the repayment of private placement debt during fiscal year 2010. Our principal on-going cash requirements are to finance construction of new stores, remodel certain existing stores, acquire salons and purchase inventory. Customers pay for salon services and merchandise in cash at the time of sale, which reduces our working capital requirements.

The basis point increase in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in shareholders' equity from the non-cash goodwill impairment within the United Kingdom salon division, the loss from discontinued operations related to the sale of Trade Secret, the non-cash impairment of our investment in Provalliance and foreign currency due to the strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, Euro and British Pound. The impact of the decrease in shareholders' equity on the debt to capitalization ratio was partially offset by a decrease in debt from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $55.5 and $230.2 million, respectively, of our debt outstanding is classified as a current liability. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008 we had borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $5.0 and $139.1 million, respectively.

Total assets at June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were as follows:

			(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year

	Total Assets		(Decrease) Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
As of June 30,	Total Assets		Dollar			Percentage
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	1,805,753	$	(113,819	)		(5.9	)%
2010		1,919,572		27,086			1.4
2009		1,892,486		(343,385	)		(15.4	)

The $74.1 million goodwill impairment charge related to the Promenade salon concept, a $31.2 million valuation reserve on the note receivable due from the purchaser of Trade Secret, and a $9.2 million impairment on the Company's investment in MY Style, partially offset by cash flows from operations, were the primary factors for the decrease in total assets as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.

Cash flows from operations, partially offset by the $35.3 million goodwill impairment charge related to the Regis salon concept were the primary factors for the increase in total assets as of June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009.

The non-cash goodwill impairment within the United Kingdom salon division, non-cash impairment of our investment in Provalliance, non-cash impairment related to the sale of Trade Secret salon concept, and a planned reduction in inventory were the primary factors for the decrease in total assets as of June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008.

Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was as follows:

			Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year

	Shareholders' Equity		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
As of June 30,	Shareholders' Equity		Dollar			Percentage
	(Dollars in thousands)
2011	$	1,032,619	$	19,326			1.9	%

2009		802,860		(173,326	)		(17.8	)

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, equity increased primarily as a result of $30.4 million of foreign currency translation and $9.6 million of stock based compensation, partially offset by $11.5 million of dividends and $8.9 million of net loss.

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, equity increased primarily as a result of the issuance of the $163.6 million in common stock, the $24.7 million ($15.2 million net of tax) equity component of the convertible debt, stock based compensation of $9.3 million and the $42.7 million of earnings during fiscal year 2010. Partially offsetting the increase was $9.1 million of dividends, $8.2 million in equity issuance costs and $5.4 million of foreign currency translation adjustments.

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, equity decreased primarily as a result of the non-cash goodwill impairment within the United Kingdom salon division, the non-cash impairment of our investment in Provalliance, the non-cash impairment related to the sale of Trade Secret and foreign currency due to the strengthening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar, Euro, and British Pound.

	$	229,178		$	192,223		$	188,064

Fiscal year 2011 cash provided by operating activities was greater than fiscal year 2010 cash provided by operating activities due to an increase of $7.6 million in dividends received from affiliated companies and a $23.9 million reduction in income tax receivables.

Fiscal year 2010 cash provided by operating activities was consistent with fiscal year 2009 cash provided by operating activities.

During fiscal year 2009, cash provided by operating activities was lower than in the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in working capital cash flow, primarily related to a current year receivable from the purchaser of Trade Secret and a decrease in accrued payroll.

Cash used by investing activities was greater during fiscal year 2011 compared to fiscal year 2010 due to the acquisition of approximately 17 percent additional equity interest in Provalliance for $57.3 million (€ 40.4 million), a disbursement of $15.0 million on the revolving credit facility with EEG and the planned increase in acquisitions and capital expenditures. The Company completed 271 major remodeling projects during fiscal year 2011, compared to 333 and 280 during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. During fiscal year 2011, we constructed 146 company-owned salons and three hair restoration centers, and acquired 105 company-owned salons (78 of which were franchise buybacks) and four hair restoration centers (all of which were franchise buybacks).

Cash used by investing activities was lower during fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 due to the planned reduction in acquisitions and capital expenditures and the receipt of $15.0 million on the revolving credit facility with EEG of which there was $0.0 and $15.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company completed 333 major remodeling projects during fiscal year 2010, compared to 280 and 186 during fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. We constructed 139 company-owned salons, four hair restoration centers and acquired 26 company-owned salons (23 of which were franchise buybacks) and zero hair restoration centers.

Cash used by investing activities was lower during fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008 due to the planned reduction in acquisitions and capital expenditures. Acquisitions during fiscal year 2009 were primarily funded by a combination of operating cash flows and debt. Additionally, the Company completed 280 major remodeling projects during fiscal year 2009, compared to 186 during fiscal year 2008. We constructed 182 company-owned salons, eight hair restoration centers and acquired 177 company-owned salons (83 of which were franchise buybacks) and two hair restoration centers, all of which were franchise buybacks. In addition during fiscal year 2008, there was a $36.4 million loan to Empire Education Group, Inc. and a transfer of $10.9 million in cash related to the deconsolidation of our schools and European franchise salon business.

During fiscal year 2010, the primary use of cash within financing activities was for net repayments of long-term debt, partially offset by the issuance of common stock.

During fiscal year 2009, the primary use of cash within financing activities was for net repayments on revolving credit facilities as reducing debt levels was one step the Company took to help maintain its compliance with debt covenants. The Company utilized intercompany borrowings on a short-term basis as allowed by a recently expanded IRS ruling to reduce debt.

New Financing Arrangements

Fiscal Year 2011

On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amended and restated in its entirety, the Company's existing Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $400.0 million senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility. The amendments included increasing the Company's minimum net worth covenant from $800.0 to $850.0 million, and amending or adding certain definitions, including Change in Law, Defaulting Lender, EBITDA, Fronting Exposure, Replacement Lender, and Accounting Principles. In addition, under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company may request an increase in revolving credit commitments under the facility of up to $200.0 million under certain circumstances. Under the new agreement, indebtedness related to Capital Leases is limited to $50.0 million, and Restricted Payments are tiered based on Debt to EBITDA. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include change of control of the Company and the Company's default of other debt exceeding $10.0 million. We were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of our credit agreement and senior notes as of June 30, 2011.

Fiscal Year 2010

On July 8, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell to underwriters $150 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0 percent convertible senior notes due 2014, and 11,500,000 shares of its common stock at $12.37 per share, which was the closing price per share on July 8, 2009. The Company completed the agreement on July 14, 2009. In addition, under the July 8, 2009 agreement, the Company granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $22.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes, and up to an additional 1,725,000 shares of common stock, on the same terms and conditions. The underwriters exercised such options in their entirety and, on July 21, 2009, the Company completed the issuance of the additional shares and notes for the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option of $22.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes and an additional 1,725,000 shares of common stock.

The notes are unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and interest will be payable semi-annually at a rate of 5.0 percent per year. The notes will mature on July 15, 2014. The notes will be convertible subject to certain conditions at an initial conversion rate of 64.6726 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $15.46 per share of the Company's common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, see further discussion within Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The net proceeds to the Company from the offerings of convertible senior notes and common stock were approximately $323.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and before estimated offering expenses. The Company utilized the proceeds to repay $267.0 million of private placement senior term notes of varying maturities and $30.0 million of senior term notes under the Private Shelf Agreement. As a result of the repayment of a portion of the senior term notes during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred $12.8 million in make-whole payments and other fees along with $5.2 million in interest rate swap settlements, as discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, totaling $18.0 million that was recorded as interest expense within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes including the repayment of bank debt.

In connection with the offerings above, on July 14, 2009, the Company amended the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated Private Shelf Agreement, all subject to the completion of the issuances of the convertible senior notes and common stock discussed above. The amendments included increasing the Company's minimum net worth covenant from $675 to $800 million, lowering the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement

Table of Contents

from 1.5x to 1.3x, amending certain definitions, including EBITDA and Fixed Charges, and limiting the Company's Restricted Payments to $20 million if the Company's Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.0x. In addition, the amendments to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement reduced the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility from $350.0 to $300.0 million and the amendments to the Restated Private Shelf Agreement incorporated a risk based capital fee calculated on the daily average outstanding principal amount equal to an annual rate of 1.0 percent which commences one year after the effective date of the amendment.

Fiscal Year 2009

During fiscal year 2009, we completed a $85 million term loan that matures in July 2012. The monthly interest payments are based on a one-month LIBOR plus a 1.75 percent spread. The term loan includes customary financial covenants including a leverage ratio, fixed charge ratio and minimum net equity test. We used the proceeds from the term loan to pay down our revolving line of credit facility.

Other Financing Arrangements

Private Shelf Agreement

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, we had $133.6 and $174.1 million, respectively, in unsecured, fixed rate, senior term notes outstanding under a Private Shelf Agreement. The notes require quarterly payments, and final maturity dates range from June 2013 through December 2017. The interest rates on the notes range from 6.69 to 8.50 percent as of June 30, 2011, and range from 5.65 to 8.39 percent as of June 30, 2010.

The Private Shelf Agreement includes financial covenants including debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios and minimum net equity tests (as defined within the Private Shelf Agreement), as well as other customary terms and conditions. The maturity date for the debt may be accelerated upon the occurrence of various Events of Default, including breaches of the agreement, certain cross-default situations, certain bankruptcy related situations, and other customary events of default.

In July 2009, the Company amended the Restated Private Shelf Agreement. The amendments included increasing the Company's minimum net worth covenant from $675 to $800 million, lowering the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement from 1.5x to 1.3x, amending certain definitions, including EBITDA and Fixed Charges, limiting the Company's Restricted Payments to $20 million if the Company's Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.0x and the addition of a risk based capital fee calculated on the daily average outstanding principal amount equal to an annual rate of 1.0 percent that commences one year after the amendment date. During fiscal year 2010, the net proceeds from the convertible senior notes and common stock issuances in July 2009 were utilized in part to repay $30.0 million of senior term notes under the Private Shelf Agreement.

Private Placement Senior Term Notes

On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a prepayment amendment on the private placement senior term notes whereby the Company negotiated to prepay the notes with a premium over the principal amount that was less than the make-whole premium that would otherwise be payable upon redemption. During fiscal year 2010, the net proceeds from the convertible senior notes and common stock issuances in July 2009 were utilized to repay the remaining outstanding private placement senior term notes totaling $267.0 million.

Table of Contents

As a result of the repayment of a portion of the senior term notes during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred $12.8 million in make-whole payments and other fees along with $5.2 million in interest rate swap settlements, as discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, totaling $18.0 million that was recorded as interest expense within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions are discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis in this Item 7, as well as in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The acquisitions were funded primarily from operating cash flow, debt and the issuance of common stock.

(a): In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these obligations are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(b): As of June 30, 2011, we have liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the liabilities will increase or decrease over time; however, at this time, we do not expect a significant payment related to these obligations within the next fiscal year. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our uncertain tax positions.

On-Balance Sheet Obligations

Our long-term obligations are composed primarily of senior term notes, convertible debt and a revolving credit facility. Interest payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations were estimated based on each debt obligation's agreed upon rate as of June 30, 2011 and scheduled contractual repayments.

Other long-term liabilities include a total of $22.6 million related to the Executive Profit Sharing Plan and a salary deferral program, $7.1 million (including $0.2 million in interest) related to

established contractual payment obligations under retirement and severance payment agreements for a small number of retired employees.

This table excludes the short-term liabilities, other than the current portion of long-term debt, disclosed on our balance sheet as the amounts recorded for these items will be paid in the next year. We have no unconditional purchase obligations, as defined by long-term obligations guidance. Also excluded from the contractual obligations table are payment estimates associated with employee health and workers' compensation claims for which we are self-insured. The majority of our recorded liability for self-insured employee health and workers' compensation losses represents estimated reserves for incurred claims that have yet to be filed or settled.

The Company has unfunded deferred compensation contracts covering certain management and executive personnel. The deferred compensation contracts are offered to key executives based on their performance within the Company. Because we cannot predict the timing or amount of our future payments related to these contracts, such amounts were not included in the table above. Related obligations totaled $5.0 and $28.6 million, respectively at June 30, 2011, and are included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The obligations are funded by insurance contracts.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Operating leases primarily represent long-term obligations for the rental of salon and hair restoration center premises, including leases for company-owned locations, as well as future salon franchisee lease payments of approximately $141.2 million, which are reimbursed to the Company by franchisees, and the guarantee of approximately 40 salons operated by the purchaser of Trade Secret. Regarding the franchisee subleases, we generally retain the right to the related salon assets net of any outstanding obligations in the event of a default by a franchise owner. Management has not experienced and does not expect any material loss to result from these arrangements.

We have forward foreign currency contracts. See Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," for a detailed discussion of our derivative instruments. Future net settlements under these agreements are not included in the table above.

We are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters, which indemnities may be secured by operation of law or otherwise, in the ordinary course of business. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases and other real estate contracts, financial agreements, credit facility of EEG, agreements to provide services, and agreements to indemnify officers, directors and employees in the performance of their work. While our aggregate indemnification obligation could result in a material liability, we are not aware of any current matter that we expect to result in a material liability.

We do not have other unconditional purchase obligations or significant other commercial commitments such as commitments under lines of credit and standby repurchase obligations or other commercial commitments.

As a part of our salon development program, we continue to negotiate and enter into leases and commitments for the acquisition of equipment and leasehold improvements related to future salon locations, and continue to enter into transactions to acquire established hair care salons and businesses.

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet financial arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes at June 30, 2011. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Financing

Financing activities are discussed under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in this Item 7 and in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. Derivative activities are discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 and Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."

Management believes that cash generated from operations and amounts available under existing debt facilities will be sufficient to fund its anticipated capital expenditures, acquisitions and required debt repayments for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2011, we have available an unused committed line of credit amount of $374.0 million under our existing revolving credit facility.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $0.20 during fiscal year 2011 and $0.16 per share during fiscal years 2010 and 2009. On August 25, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.06 per share quarterly dividend payable September 22, 2011 to shareholders of record on September 8, 2011.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2000, the Company's Board of Directors (BOD) approved a stock repurchase program. Originally, the program authorized up to $50.0 million to be expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock. The BOD elected to increase this maximum to $100.0 million in August 2003, to $200.0 million on May 3, 2005, and to $300.0 million on April 26, 2007. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. Historically, the repurchases to date have been made primarily to eliminate the dilutive effect of shares issued in conjunction with acquisitions, restricted stock grants and stock option exercises. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date. The Company did not repurchase any shares during fiscal year 2011. As of June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009, a total accumulated 6.8 million shares have been repurchased for $226.5 million. As of June 30, 2011, $73.5 million remains to be spent on share repurchases under this program.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The primary market risk exposure of the Company relates to changes in interest rates in connection with its debt, some of which bears interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin. Additionally, the Company is exposed to foreign currency translation risk related to its net investments in its foreign subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, changes in the Canadian dollar exchange rate. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the management of these exposures through the use of derivative financial instrument contracts. By policy, the Company does not enter into such contracts for the purpose of speculation. The following details the Company's policies and use of financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk:

The Company has established an interest rate management policy that attempts to minimize its overall cost of debt, while taking into consideration the earnings implications associated with the volatility of short-term interest rates. As part of this policy, the Company has historically maintained a combination of variable and fixed rate debt. Considering the effect of interest rate swaps and including no increases to long-term debt related to fair value swaps at June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had the following outstanding debt balances:

	As of June 30,

	2011		2010
	(Dollars in thousands)
Fixed rate debt	$	313,411	$	395,029
Variable rate debt		—		45,000

	$	313,411	$	440,029

The Company manages its interest rate risk by continually assessing the amount of fixed and variable rate debt. On occasion, the Company uses interest rate swaps to further mitigate the risk associated with changing interest rates and to maintain its desired balances of fixed and floating rate debt.

In addition, the Company has entered into the following financial instruments:

Interest Rate Swap Contracts:

The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing the amount of fixed and variable rate debt. On occasion, the Company uses interest rate swaps to further mitigate the risk associated with

changing interest rates and to maintain its desired balances of fixed and variable rate debt. Generally, the terms of the interest rate swap agreements contain monthly and quarterly settlement dates based on the notional amounts of the swap contracts.

Pay fixed rates, receive variable rates

During the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts that pay fixed rates of interest and receive variable rates of interest (based on the one-month LIBOR) on notional amounts of indebtedness of $20.0 million each, that had maturation dates in July 2011, respectively. These swaps were designated and were effective as cash flow hedges. These cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value within other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a corresponding offset in deferred income taxes and other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. These contracts were terminated during fiscal year 2011 in conjunction with the repayment of the $85.0 million term loan. The contracts were settled for an aggregate loss of $0.1 million recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during fiscal year 2011. Prior to the termination of the contracts, the Company paid fixed rates of interest of approximately 3.0 percent and 3.4 percent on their respective $20.0 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts that pay fixed rates of interest and receive variable rates of interest (based on the three-month LIBOR) on notional amounts of indebtedness of $35.0 and $15.0 million, and mature in March 2013 and March 2015, respectively. These swaps were designated and were effective as cash flow hedges. These cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value within other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a corresponding offset in other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. These contracts were terminated during fiscal year 2010 in conjunction with the repayment of the private placement senior term notes as discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The contracts were settled for an aggregate loss of $5.2 million recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during fiscal year 2010.

Tabular Presentation:

The following table presents information about the Company's debt obligations and derivative financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For fixed rate debt obligations, the table presents principal amounts and related weighted-average interest rates by fiscal year of maturity. For variable rate obligations, the table presents principal amounts and the weighted-average forward LIBOR interest rates as of June 30, 2011 through June 30, 2016. For the Company's derivative financial instruments, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates by

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk:

The majority of the Company's revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in United States dollars. However, because a portion of the Company's operations consists of activities outside of the United States, the Company has transactions in other currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar, British pound and Euro. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is required to translate the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries from the currency in which they keep their accounting records, generally the local currency, into United States dollars. Different exchange rates from period to period impact the amounts of reported income and the amount of foreign currency translation recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company frequently evaluates its foreign currency exchange risk by monitoring market data and external factors that may influence exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, the Company may engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments to hedge assets, liabilities and purchases denominated in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has entered into the following financial instruments to manage its foreign currency exchange risk:

Hedge of the Net Investment in Foreign Subsidiaries:

The Company has numerous investments in foreign subsidiaries, and the net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to exchange rate volatility. The Company frequently evaluates its foreign currency exchange risk by monitoring market data and external factors that may influence exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, the Company may engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments to hedge assets, liabilities and purchases denominated in foreign currencies.

During September 2006, the Company's cross-currency swap (which had a notional amount of $21.3 million and hedged a portion of the Company's net investment in its foreign operations) was settled, resulting in a cash outlay of $8.9 million. This cash outlay was recorded within investing activities within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The related cumulative tax-effected net loss of $7.9 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in fiscal year 2007. This amount will remain deferred within AOCI indefinitely, as the event which would trigger its release from AOCI and recognition in earnings is the sale or liquidation of the Company's international operations that the cross-currency swap hedged. The Company currently has no intent to sell or liquidate this portion of its business operations.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:

The Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk includes risks related to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. The exposure to Canadian dollar exchange rates on the Company's fiscal year 2011 cash flows is primarily associated with certain forecasted intercompany transactions.

The Company seeks to manage exposure to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar. In order to do so, the Company has entered into forward currency contracts from fiscal year 2007 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 in order to reduce the risk of significant negative impact on its U.S. dollar cash flows or income. The Company does not hedge foreign currency exposure in a manner that would entirely eliminate the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on net income and cash flows. During fiscal year 2011, the Company entered into several forward foreign currency contracts to sell Canadian dollars and buy an aggregate of $8.7 million U.S. dollars, respectively, with maturation dates between July 2011 and September 2012. The purpose of the forward contracts was to protect against adverse movements in the Canadian dollar exchange rate. The contracts were designated and were effective as cash flow hedges. They were recorded at fair value within other noncurrent liabilities or other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with corresponding offsets primarily recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Forward currency contracts to sell Canadian dollars and buy $8.7 million U.S. dollars were outstanding as of June 30, 2011 to hedge intercompany transactions. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Company uses freestanding derivative forward contracts to offset the Company's exposure to the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated intercompany assets and liabilities. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recognized currently in earnings thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

In June 2011, the Company entered into a freestanding derivative forward contract to sell an aggregate $9.0 million U.S. dollars and buy Canadian dollars, with a maturation date in July 2011.

The table below provides information about the Company's forecasted transactions in U.S. dollar equivalents. (The information is presented in U.S. dollars because that is the Company's reporting currency.) The table summarizes information on transactions that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates and the related foreign currency forward exchange agreements. For the foreign currency forward exchange agreements, the table presents the notional amounts and weighted average exchange rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. These notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract.

Management's Statement of Responsibility for Financial Statements and
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Financial Statements

Management is responsible for preparation of the consolidated financial statements and other related financial information included in this annual report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, incorporating management's reasonable estimates and judgments, where applicable.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This report is provided by management pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC rules promulgated thereunder. Management, including the president and chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for assessing effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011, as stated in their report which follows in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Regis Corporation:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareholders' equity and comprehensive income and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regis Corporation and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Statement of Responsibility for Financial Statements and Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Description:

Regis Corporation (the Company) owns, operates and franchises hairstyling and hair care salons throughout the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (U.K.), Canada, Puerto Rico and several other countries. In addition, the Company owns and operates hair restoration centers in the U.S. and Canada. Substantially all of the hairstyling and hair care salons owned and operated by the Company in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico are located in leased space in enclosed mall shopping centers, strip shopping centers or Walmart Supercenters. Franchise salons throughout the U.S. are primarily located in strip shopping centers. The company-owned salons in the U.K. are owned and operated in malls, leading department stores, mass merchants and high-street locations. The hair restoration centers, including both company-owned and franchise locations, are typically located in leased space within office buildings. The Company maintains ownership interest in salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers through equity-method investments.

Consolidation:

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In consolidation, all intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. of America (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation:

Financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company's international subsidiaries are measured using local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rates in effect at each fiscal year end. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. Statement of Operations accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The different exchange rates from period to period impact the amount of reported income from the Company's international operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents consist of investments in short-term, highly liquid securities having original maturities of three months or less, which are made as a part of the Company's cash management activity. The carrying values of these assets approximate their fair market values. The Company primarily utilizes a cash management system with a series of separate accounts consisting of lockbox accounts for receiving cash, concentration accounts that funds are moved to, and several "zero balance" disbursement accounts for funding of payroll and accounts payable. As a result of the Company's cash management system, checks issued, but not presented to the banks for payment, may create negative book cash balances. There were no checks outstanding in excess of related book cash balances at June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

The receivable balance on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet primarily include accounts and notes receivable from franchisees and credit card receivables. The balance is presented net of an allowance for expected losses (i.e., doubtful accounts), primarily related to the receivables from the Company's franchisees. The Company monitors the financial condition of its franchisees and records provisions for estimated losses on receivables when it believes its franchisees are unable to make their required payments based on factors such as delinquencies and aging trends. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to existing accounts and notes receivables.

The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

Inventories:

Inventories consist principally of hair care products for retail product sales. A portion of inventories are also used for salon services consisting of hair color, hair care products including shampoo and conditioner and hair care treatments including permanents, neutralizers and relaxers. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a weighted average cost basis.

Physical inventory counts are performed semi-annually. Product and service inventories are adjusted based on the results of the physical inventory counts. Between the physical inventory counts, cost of retail product sold to salon customers is determined based on the weighted average cost of product sold, adjusted for an estimated shrinkage factor, and the cost of product used in salon services

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

is determined by applying estimated gross profit margins to service revenues. The estimated gross profit margins related to service inventories are updated semi-annually based on the results of the physical inventory counts and other factors that could impact the Company's margin rate estimates such as mix of service sales, discounting and special promotions. Actual results for the estimated gross margin percentage as compared to the semi-annual estimates have not historically resulted in material adjustments to our Statement of Operations.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful asset lives (30 to 39 years for buildings, 10 years for improvements and three to ten years for equipment, furniture and software). Depreciation expense was $88.6, $92.5, and $105.1 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease term, generally ten years. For leases with renewal periods at the Company's option, management may determine at the inception of the lease that renewal is reasonably assured if failure to exercise a renewal option imposes an economic penalty to the Company. In such cases, the Company will include the renewal option period along with the original lease term in the determination of appropriate estimated useful lives.

The Company capitalizes both internal and external costs of developing or obtaining computer software for internal use. Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development stage are capitalized, while data conversion, training and maintenance costs associated with internal-use software are expensed as incurred. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the net book value of capitalized software costs was $34.1 and $35.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to capitalized software was $8.4, $8.5, and $9.1 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, which has been determined based on an estimated useful life of five or seven years.

Historically, because of the Company's large size and scale requirements it has been necessary for the Company to internally develop and support its own proprietary POS information system. The Company has recently identified a third party POS alternative that has a system that meets our current and enhanced functionality requirements and will cost significantly less to implement and support. Due to the Company's plan to replace the POS information system, the Company reviewed the capitalized software carrying value for impairment at June 30, 2011. As a result of the Company's long-lived asset impairment testing at June 30, 2011 for this grouping of assets, no impairment charges were recorded. The Company has reassessed and adjusted the useful life of the capitalized software as the POS alternative is expected be implemented in salons during the first half of fiscal year 2012. The Company expects to fully amortize the net balance of the existing POS information system, approximately $20 million at June 30, 2011, during fiscal year 2012 as locations using the Company's existing POS information system move to a third party POS alternative.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals and betterments which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed. All other expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. The assets and related depreciation and amortization accounts are adjusted for property retirements and disposals with the resulting gain or loss included in operating income. Fully depreciated or amortized assets remain in the accounts until retired from service.

Investment In and Loans to Affiliates:

The Company has equity investments in securities of certain privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting. The Company also has loans receivable from certain of these entities. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded at the amount of the Company's investment and adjusted each period for the Company's share of the investee's income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company's investment may not be recoverable. During fiscal year 2011, we recorded an impairment of $9.2 million related to our investment in MY Style. During fiscal year 2009, we recorded impairments of $25.7 and $7.8 million ($4.8 million net of tax) related to our investment in Provalliance and investment in and loans to Intelligent Nutrients, LLC, respectively.

Self Insurance Accruals:

Although the Company does not expect the amounts ultimately paid to differ significantly from the estimates, self insurance accruals could be affected if future claims experience differs significantly from the historical trends and actuarial assumptions. For fiscal year 2011, the Company recorded an increase in expense from changes in estimates related to prior year open policy periods related to continuing operations of $1.4 million. For fiscal years 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded decreases in expense from changes in estimates related to prior year open policy periods related to continuing operations of $1.7 and $9.9 million, respectively. A 10.0 percent change in the self-insurance reserve would affect (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in income (loss) of affiliated companies by $4.6, $4.5, and $4.0 million for the three years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009,

respectively. The Company updates loss projections twice each year and adjusts its recorded liability to reflect the current projections. The updated loss projections consider new claims and developments associated with existing claims for each open policy period. As certain claims can take years to settle, the Company has multiple policy periods open at any point in time.

As the workers' compensation accrual is the majority of the self insurance accrual, below is a rollforward of the activity within the Company's workers' compensation self insurance accrual:

	For the Years Ended June 30,

	2011			2010			2009
	(Dollars in thousands)
Beginning balance	$	30,082		$	31,505		$	35,123

Other, net		(728	)		(1,330	)		1,566

Ending balance	$	32,994		$	30,082		$	31,505

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $14.7 and $30.9 million recorded in current liabilities and non-current liabilities, respectively, related to the Company's self insurance accruals which includes the workers' compensation self insurance accrual. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $18.4 and $26.5 million recorded in current liabilities and non-current liabilities, respectively, related to the Company's self insurance accruals which includes the workers' compensation self insurance accrual.

Goodwill:

The Company calculates the estimated fair value of the reporting units based on discounted future cash flows that utilize estimates in annual revenue, gross margins, fixed expense rates, allocated corporate overhead, and long-term growth for determining terminal value. The Company's estimated future cash flows also take into consideration acquisition integration and maturation. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow. The Company considers its various concepts to be reporting units when testing for goodwill impairment because that is where the Company believes the goodwill resides. The Company periodically engages third-party valuation consultants to assist in evaluation of the Company's estimated fair value calculations.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

based on the relative fair values under the assumption of a taxable transaction. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amount assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value.

As a result of the Company's annual impairment testing of goodwill during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, a $74.1 million impairment charge was recorded within continuing operations for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill for the Promenade salon concept. The Promenade salon concept reported same-store sales results of negative 3.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which was unfavorable compared to the Company's budgeted same-store sales. As visitation patterns have not been rebounding as quickly as the Company had originally projected for fiscal year 2011, the Company reduced the budgeted financial projections for fiscal year 2012. The projections assume that the Promenade salon concept remains a strong viable business but will have a slow recovery. As a result of the lowered projections, the estimated fair value of the Promenade salon concept decreased to a level below the Promenade salon concept's carrying value.

The estimated fair values of the Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit and Regis salon concept exceeded the respective carrying values by approximately 9.0 and 18.0 percent, respectively. The respective fair values of the Company's remaining reporting units exceeded fair value by greater than 20.0 percent. While the Company has determined the estimated fair values of Promenade, Hair Restoration Centers, and Regis to be appropriate based on the historical level of revenue growth, operating income and cash flows, it is reasonably likely that Promenade, Hair Restoration Centers, and Regis may become impaired in future periods. The term "reasonably likely" refers to an occurrence that is more than remote but less than probable in the judgment of the Company. Because some of the inherent assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of the reportable segment are outside the control of management, changes in these underlying assumptions can adversely impact fair value. Potential impairment of a portion or all of the carrying value of the Promenade and Regis salon concepts and Hair Restoration Centers goodwill is dependent on many factors and cannot be predicted with certainty.

Historically, goodwill was tested annually for impairment during the third quarter, as of February 28, of each fiscal year. Effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company adopted a new accounting policy whereby the annual impairment review of goodwill will be performed during the fourth quarter, as of April 30 instead of the third quarter of each fiscal year. The change in the annual goodwill impairment testing date was made to better align the annual goodwill impairment test with the timing of the Company's annual budgeting process. The change in accounting principle does not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. Accordingly, the Company believes that the accounting change described above is preferable under the circumstances. As a result of the Company's annual impairment testing of goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, no impairment charges were recorded.

A summary of the Company's goodwill balance as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 by reporting unit is as follows:

Consolidated Goodwill	$	680,512	$	736,989

Long-Lived Asset Impairment Assessments, Excluding Goodwill:

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment at the salon level annually or if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company's test for impairment of property and equipment is performed at a salon level as this is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets that does not recover the carrying value of the related salon assets. When the sum of a salon's undiscounted estimated future cash flow is zero or negative, impairment is measured as the full carrying value of the related salon's equipment and leasehold improvements. When the sum of a salon's undiscounted cash flows is greater than zero but less than the carrying value of the related salon's equipment and leasehold improvements, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed to estimate the fair value of the salon assets and impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the salon assets and the estimated fair value. The fair value estimate is based on the best information available, including market data.

As a result of the Company's annual impairment analysis of long-lived assets, the following impairment charges were recognized during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, related primarily to the carrying value of certain salons' property and equipment within our North American, International, and Hair Restoration Centers segments:

The Company also evaluated the appropriateness of the remaining useful lives of its non-impaired property and equipment and whether a change to the depreciation charge was warranted. Impairment charges for continuing operations are included in depreciation related to company-owned salons in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Deferred Rent and Rent Expense:

The Company leases most salon and hair restoration center locations under operating leases. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant improvement allowances funded by landlord incentives, rent holidays, and rent escalation clauses which provide for scheduled rent increases during the lease term or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including one renewal option period if renewal is reasonably assured based on the imposition of an economic penalty for failure to exercise the renewal option). The difference between the rent due under the stated periods of the lease compared to that of the straight-line basis is recorded as deferred rent within other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For purposes of recognizing incentives and minimum rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases, the Company uses the date that it obtains the legal right to use and control the leased space to begin amortization, which is generally when the Company enters the space and begins to make improvements in preparation of intended use of the leased space.

Certain leases provide for contingent rents, which are determined as a percentage of revenues in excess of specified levels. The Company records a contingent rent liability in accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, along with the corresponding rent expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, when specified levels have been achieved or when management determines that achieving the specified levels during the fiscal year is probable.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue:

Company-owned salon revenues and related cost of sales are recognized at the time of sale, as this is when the services have been provided or, in the case of product revenues, delivery has occurred, and

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

the salon receives the customer's payment. Revenues from purchases made with gift cards are also recorded when the customer takes possession of the merchandise or services are provided. Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability (deferred revenue) until they are redeemed.

Product sales by the Company to its franchisees are included within product revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and recorded at the time product is shipped to franchise locations. The related cost of product sold to franchisees is included within cost of product in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Company-owned hair restoration center revenues stem primarily from servicing hair systems and surgical procedures, as well as through product and hair system sales. The Company records deferred revenue for contracts related to the servicing of hair systems and recognizes the revenue ratably over the term of the service contract. Revenues are recognized related to surgical procedures when the procedure is performed. Product revenues, including sales of hair systems, are recognized at the time of application, as this is when delivery occurs and payment is probable.

Franchise revenues primarily include royalties, initial franchise fees and net rental income (see Note 10). Royalties are recognized as revenue in the month in which franchisee services are rendered. The Company recognizes revenue from initial franchise fees at the time franchise locations are opened, as this is generally when the Company has performed all initial services required under the franchise agreement.

Consideration Received from Vendors:

The Company receives consideration for a variety of vendor-sponsored programs. These programs primarily include volume rebates and promotion and advertising reimbursements. Promotion and advertising reimbursements are discussed under Advertising within this note.

With respect to volume rebates, the Company estimates the amount of rebate it will receive and accrues it as a reduction of the cost of inventory over the period in which the rebate is earned based upon historical purchasing patterns and the terms of the volume rebate program. A periodic analysis is performed, at least quarterly, in order to ensure that the estimated rebate accrued is reasonable, and any necessary adjustments are recorded.

Shipping and Handling Costs:

Shipping and handling costs are incurred to store, move and ship product from the Company's distribution centers to company-owned and franchise locations, and include an allocation of internal overhead. Such shipping and handling costs related to product shipped to company-owned locations are included in site operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Shipping and handling costs related to shipping product to franchise locations totaled $3.5, $2.9, and $2.7 million during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, and are included within general and administrative expenses. Any amounts billed to the franchisee for shipping and handling are included in product revenues within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Advertising:

Advertising costs, including salon collateral material, are expensed as incurred. The following table breaks out advertising costs expensed and included in continuing operations, and advertising costs expensed and included in discontinued operations in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009:

	For the Years Ended June 30,

Breakout of Advertising Costs	2011		2010		2009
Advertising costs included in continuing operations	$	63,275	$	54,850	$	56,926
Advertising costs included in discontinued operations		—		—		4,451

Total advertising costs	$	63,275	$	54,850	$	61,377

The Company participates in cooperative advertising programs under which the vendor reimburses the Company for costs related to advertising for its products. The Company records such reimbursements as a reduction of advertising expense when the expense is incurred. During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, no amounts were received in excess of the Company's related expense.

Advertising Funds:

The Company has various franchising programs supporting its franchise salon concepts consisting of Supercuts, Cost Cutters, First Choice Haircutters, Magicuts, Pro-Cuts, Beauty Supply Outlet and Hair Club. Most of the concepts maintain advertising funds that provide comprehensive advertising and sales promotion support.

The Supercuts advertising fund is the Company's largest advertising fund. The Supercuts advertising fund is administered by a council consisting primarily of franchisee representatives. The council has overall control of all of the fund's expenditures and operates in accordance with terms of the franchise operating and other agreements.

Each Supercuts salon contributes 5.0 percent of service revenues to the fund (contributions for other concepts range between 1.5 and 5.0 percent). The majority of the advertising funds are spent to support media placement and local marketing activities. The remainder is allocated for the creation of national advertising campaigns and system wide activities. None of the Supercuts advertising funds collected may be used by the Company as reimbursement for the cost of administering the advertising fund. Advertising funds can only be used as directed by the fund's council and are considered to be restricted.

The Company records all advertising funds as assets and liabilities within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately $16.7 and $18.0 million, respectively, of the advertising funds' assets and liabilities were recorded within total assets and total liabilities, respectively, in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company records advertising expense in the period the company-owned salon makes contributions to the respective advertising fund. During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 total contributions to the franchise brand advertising funds totaled $41.9, $39.8, and $39.4 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Company acts as an agent for the franchisees with regard to these contributions to the advertising funds. Thus, in accordance with guidance for accounting for franchise fee revenue, the Company does not reflect contributions to these advertising funds by its franchisees in its Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows but reflects the related assets and liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Preopening Expenses:

Non-capital expenditures such as payroll, training costs and promotion incurred prior to the opening of a new location are expensed as incurred.

Sales Taxes:

Sales taxes are recorded on a net basis (rather than as both revenue and an expense) within the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Income Taxes:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements or income tax returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is ultimately dependent upon future taxable income. Inherent in the measurement of deferred balances are certain judgments and interpretations of tax laws and published guidance with respect to the Company's operations. Income tax expense is primarily the current tax payable for the period and the change during the period in certain deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Net Income Per Share:

The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The Company's dilutive earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which includes shares issuable under the Company's stock option plan and long-term incentive plan, and dilutive securities. Stock-based awards with exercise prices greater than the average market value of the Company's common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company's diluted earnings per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Company's convertible debt if the impact is dilutive, along with the exclusion of interest expense, net of taxes. The impact of the convertible debt is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

Comprehensive Income:

Components of comprehensive income for the Company include net income, changes in fair value of financial instruments designated as hedges of interest rate or foreign currency exposure, recognition of deferred compensation, and foreign currency translation charged or credited to the cumulative

Derivative Instruments:

The Company may manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk within the Consolidated Financial Statements through the use of derivative financial instruments, according to its hedging policy. The Company does not use derivatives with a level of complexity or with a risk higher than the exposures to be hedged and does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company currently has or has had interest rate swaps designated as both cash flow and fair value hedges, treasury locks designated as cash flow hedges, a hedge of its net investment in its European operations and forward foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Refer to Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Company follows guidance for accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, as amended and interpreted, which requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. This guidance also requires companies to designate all derivatives that qualify as hedging instruments as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

This designation is based upon the exposure being hedged. Cash flow and fair value hedges are designated and documented at the inception of each hedge by matching the terms of the contract to the underlying transaction. At inception, as dictated by the facts and circumstances, all hedges are expected to be highly effective, as the critical terms of these instruments are generally the same as those of the underlying risks being hedged. All derivatives designated as hedging instruments are assessed for effectiveness on an on-going basis. For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with all derivatives (designated as hedges or freestanding economic hedges) are classified in the same category as the related cash flows subject to the hedging relationship.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans:

Stock-based awards are granted under the terms of the 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (2004 Plan). Additionally, the Company has outstanding stock options under its 2000 Stock Option Plan (2000 Plan), although the Plan terminated in 2010. On October 28, 2010 our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2004 Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized for issuance from 2,500,000 to 6,750,000. Under these plans, four types of stock-based compensation awards are granted: stock options, equity-based stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock awards (RSAs) and restricted stock units (RSUs). The stock options and SARs have a maximum term of ten years. The stock-based awards, other than the RSUs, generally vest at a rate of 20.0 percent annually on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant. The RSUs cliff vest after five years, and payment of the RSUs is deferred until January 31 of the year following vesting. Unvested awards are subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment. The Company utilizes an option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options and SARs at their grant date. Stock options and SARs are granted at not less than fair market value on the date of grant. The Company generally recognizes compensation expense for its stock-based compensation awards on a straight-line basis over a five-year vesting period. Awards granted do not contain acceleration of vesting terms for retirement eligible recipients. The Company's primary employee stock-based compensation grant occurs during the fourth fiscal quarter.

Total compensation cost for stock-based payment arrangements totaled $9.6, $9.3, and $7.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Guidance adopted by the Company for share-based payments requires that the cash retained as a result of the tax deductibility of increases in the value of stock-based arrangements be presented as a cash inflow from financing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The amount presented as a financing activity for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $0.1, $0.2, and $0.2 million, respectively.

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company:

Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The guidance requires disclosures on a disaggregated basis on two defined levels: (1) portfolio segment; and (2) class of financing receivable. The guidance amends existing disclosures to require an entity to provide the following disclosures on a disaggregated basis: rollforward schedule of the allowance for credit losses from the beginning to the end of the reporting period on a portfolio segment basis, the related recorded investment in financing receivables for each disaggregated ending

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

balance, the nonaccrual status of financing receivables by class of financing receivables, and impaired financing receivables by class of financing receivables. Additionally, the guidance requires, among other things, new disclosures on the credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables and the aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables. The Company is in compliance with the new disclosure requirements.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements).

The Company adopted the new disclosure guidance on January 1, 2010 and the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements will be adopted by the Company on July 1, 2011.

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance removes the criterion that entities must use objective and reliable evidence of fair value in separately accounting for deliverables and provides entities with a hierarchy of evidence that must be considered when allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance also requires entities to allocate arrangement consideration to the separate units of accounting based on the deliverables' relative selling price. The adoption of the new guidance on July 1, 2010, for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Amendments to Accounting for Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for variable interest entities (VIE). The guidance requires a qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a VIE and requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an entity is a primary beneficiary of a VIE. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise's involvement in a VIE. The adoption of the new guidance on July 1, 2010, for variable interest entities, did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted by the Company:

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Specifically, the new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the guidance on July 1, 2012 will not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Measurement

In April 2011, the FASB issued guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This new guidance amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the guidance on July 1, 2012 will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 16, 2009, the Company sold its Trade Secret salon concept (Trade Secret). The Company concluded, after a comprehensive review of strategic and financial options, to divest Trade Secret. The sale of Trade Secret included 655 company-owned salons and 57 franchise salons, all of which had historically been reported within the Company's North America reportable segment. The sale of Trade Secret included Cameron Capital I, Inc. (CCI). CCI owned and operated PureBeauty and BeautyFirst salons which were acquired by the Company on February 20, 2008.

The Company concluded that Trade Secret qualified as held for sale as of December 31, 2008, under accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived asset guidance, and is presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The operations and cash flows of Trade Secret have been eliminated from ongoing operations of the Company and there will be no significant continuing involvement in the operations after disposal pursuant to guidance in determining whether to report discontinued operations. The agreement included a provision that the Company would supply product to the purchaser of Trade Secret and provide certain administrative services for a transition period. Under this agreement, the Company recognized $20.0 and $32.2 million of product revenues on the supply of product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret and $1.9 and $2.9 million of other income related to the administrative services during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The agreement was substantially complete as of September 30, 2009.

Beginning within the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company has an agreement in which the Company provides warehouse services to the purchaser of Trade Secret. Under the warehouse services agreement, the Company recognized $2.7 and $3.0 million of other income related to warehouse services during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company entered into a formal note receivable agreement with the purchaser of Trade Secret. On July 6, 2010, the purchaser of Trade Secret filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The purchaser of Trade Secret emerged from bankruptcy in October 2010 and in conjunction, the note receivable agreement was amended. The note receivable agreement accrues interest at 8.0 percent which is payable quarterly beginning in December 2010. Principal payments of $0.5 million are due quarterly beginning in December 2011 with the remainder of the principal due in September 2015.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company did not receive a scheduled interest payment related to the outstanding note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret, the fair value of the collateral decreased to a level below the carrying value of the outstanding note receivable, and the purchaser of Trade Secret provided the Company with a new five year business plan that was well below the purchaser of Trade Secret's original projections. Due to these factors that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company evaluated the note receivable for realizability based on a probability weighted expected future cash flow analysis. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company recorded a $9.0 million valuation reserve for the excess of the carrying value of the note receivable over the present value of expected future cash flows.

The Company has determined the collectibility of accrued interest on the note receivable to be less than probable. The Company suspended recognition of interest income effective April 2010, has recorded a valuation allowance of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2011 related to the accrued interest, and will use the cash basis method for recognizing future interest income. During fiscal year 2011, the Company received interest payments from the purchaser of Trade Secret totaling $0.8 million.

	Cash payments		150

Balance at June 30, 2011		$	(33,693	)

The Company utilized the consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not Trade Secret was a VIE, and if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of Trade Secret. The Company concluded that Trade Secret is a VIE based on the fact that the equity investment at risk in Trade Secret is insufficient. The Company determined that the purchaser of Trade Secret has met the power criterion due to the purchaser of Trade Secret having the authority to direct the activities that most significantly impact Trade Secret's economic performance. The Company concluded based on the consideration above that the primary beneficiary of Trade Secret is the purchaser of Trade Secret. The exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with Trade Secret is the carrying value of the amount due from the purchaser of Trade Secret and the guarantee of approximately 40 operating leases. The Company has determined the exposure to the risk of loss on the guarantee of the operating leases to be reasonably possible. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the guaranteed leases.

The income (loss) from discontinued operations is summarized below:

	For the Years Ended June 30,

	2011		2010		2009

Income tax benefit on discontinued operations		—		3,007		58,997

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	—	$	3,161	$	(131,436	)

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded a $3.0 million tax benefit in discontinued operations to correct the prior year calculation of the income tax benefit related to the disposition of the Trade Secret salon concept. The Company does not believe the adjustment is material to its results of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 or its financial position or results of operations of any prior periods.

All intangible assets have been assigned an estimated finite useful life, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the number of years that approximate their expected period of benefit (ranging from one to 40 years). The cost of intangible assets is amortized to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in that reporting period. The weighted average amortization periods, in total and by major intangible asset class, are as follows:

		Weighted Average Amortization Period (In years) June 30,

Total amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets during the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was approximately $9.8, $9.9, and $9.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, future estimated amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets is estimated to be:

4. ACQUISITIONS

During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company made acquisitions and the purchase prices have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. These acquisitions individually and in the aggregate are not material to the Company's operations. Operations of the acquired companies have been included in the operations of the Company since the date of the respective acquisition.

Based upon purchase price allocations, the components of the aggregate purchase prices of the acquisitions made during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 and the allocation of the purchase prices were as follows:

The majority of the purchase price in salon acquisitions is accounted for as residual goodwill rather than identifiable intangible assets. This stems from the value associated with the walk-in customer base of the acquired salons, which is not recorded as an identifiable intangible asset under current accounting guidance, as well as the limited value and customer preference associated with the acquired hair salon brand. Key factors considered by consumers of hair salon services include personal relationships with individual stylists, service quality and price point competitiveness. These attributes represent the "going concern" value of the salon.

Residual goodwill further represents the Company's opportunity to strategically combine the acquired business with the Company's existing structure to serve a greater number of customers through its expansion strategies. In the acquisitions of international salons and hair restoration centers, the residual goodwill primarily represents the growth prospects that are not captured as part of acquired tangible or identified intangible assets. Generally, the goodwill recognized in the North American salon transactions is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes and the goodwill recognized in the international salon transactions is non-deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill generated in certain acquisitions, such as the acquisition of hair restoration centers, is not deductible for tax purposes due to the acquisition structure of the transaction.

During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company purchased salon operations from its franchisees. The Company evaluated the effective settlement of the pre-existing franchise contracts and associated rights afforded by those contracts. The Company determined that the effective settlement of the pre-existing franchise contracts at the date of the acquisition did not result in a gain or loss, as the agreements were neither favorable nor unfavorable when compared to similar current market transactions, and no settlement provisions exist in the pre-existing contracts. Therefore, no settlement gain or loss was recognized with respect to the Company's franchise buybacks.

Investment in Provalliance

On January 31, 2008, the Company merged its continental European franchise salon operations with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group in exchange for a 30.0 percent equity interest in the newly formed Provalliance entity (Provalliance). The merger with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group, which are also located in continental Europe, created Europe's largest salon operator with approximately 2,600 company-owned and franchise salons as of June 30, 2011.

The merger agreement contains a right (Equity Put) to require the Company to purchase an additional ownership interest in Provalliance between specified dates in 2010 to 2018. The acquisition price is determined based on a multiple of the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of Provalliance for a trailing twelve month period adjusted for certain items as defined in the agreement which is intended to approximate fair value. The initial estimated fair value of the Equity Put as of January 31, 2008, approximately $24.8 million, has been included as a component of the Company's investment in Provalliance. A corresponding liability for the same amount as the Equity Put was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities. Any changes in the estimated fair value of the Equity Put are recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded a $2.4 million decrease in the fair value of the Equity Put during fiscal year 2011, see further discussion below and within Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Any changes related to foreign currency translation are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company recorded a $3.8 million increase in the Equity Put related to foreign currency translation during fiscal year 2011, see further discussion within Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. If the Equity Put is exercised, and the Company fails to complete the purchase, the parties exercising the Equity Put will be entitled to exercise various remedies against the Company, including the right to purchase the Company's interest in Provalliance for a purchase price determined based on a discounted multiple of the earnings before interest and taxes of Provalliance for a trailing twelve month period. The merger

6. INVESTMENTS IN AND LOANS TO AFFILIATES (Continued)

agreement also contains an option (Equity Call) whereby the Company can acquire additional ownership interest in Provalliance between specific dates in 2018 to 2020 at an acquisition price determined consistent with the Equity Put.

In December 2010, a portion of the Equity Put was exercised. In March of 2011, the Company elected to honor and settle a portion of the Equity Put and acquired approximately 17 percent additional equity interest in Provalliance for $57.3 million (approximately € 40.4 million), bringing the Company's total equity interest to 46.7 percent. Upon the acquisition of the additional ownership interest, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $2.4 million representing the reversal of the Equity Put liability that was extinguished upon settlement, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of the remaining Equity Put. The Company's liability under the Equity Put to purchase the remainder of the equity interest in Provalliance continues to exist through 2018 and is valued at $22.7 million as of June 30, 2011.

The Company utilized the consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not its investment in Provalliance was a VIE, and if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company concluded that Provalliance is a VIE based on the fact that the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lack the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The Equity Put is based on a formula that may or may not be at market when exercised, therefore, it could provide the Company with the characteristic of a controlling financial interest or could prevent the Franck Provost Salon Group from absorbing its share of expected losses by transferring such obligation to the Company. Under certain circumstances, including a decline in the fair value of Provalliance, the Equity Put could be exercised and the Franck Provost Group could be protected from absorbing the downside of the equity interest. As the Equity Put absorbs a large amount of variability this characteristic results in Provalliance being a VIE.

Regis determined that the Franck Provost Group has met the power criterion due to the Franck Provost Group having the authority to direct the activities that most significantly impact Provalliance's economic performance. The Company concluded based on the considerations above that the primary beneficiary of Provalliance is the Franck Provost Group. The Company has accounted for its interest in Provalliance as an equity method investment. The exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with Provalliance is the carrying value of the investment and future changes in fair value of the Equity Put that is unable to be quantified as of this date.

In connection with the purchase of the additional equity interest, the Company reassessed the consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether the Company will now be considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Consistent with the previous assessment, the Company has determined the Frank Provost Group continues to meet the power criterion and is considered the primary beneficiary of Provalliance.

During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company recorded $7.8 and $4.1, and $2.0 million, respectively, of equity in income related to its investment in Provalliance.

(1): Due to increased debt and reduced earnings expectations, the Company could no longer justify the carrying amount of its investment in Provalliance and recorded a $25.7 million other than temporary impairment charge in its fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009. The exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with Provalliance is the carrying value of the investment and future changes in fair value of the Equity Put.

Investment in Empire Education Group, Inc.

On August 1, 2007, the Company contributed its 51 wholly-owned accredited cosmetology schools to Empire Education Group, Inc. (EEG) in exchange for a 49.0 percent equity interest in EEG. In January 2008, the Company's effective ownership interest increased to 55.1 percent related to the

108

Table of Contents

6. INVESTMENTS IN AND LOANS TO AFFILIATES (Continued)

buyout of EEG's minority interest shareholder. EEG operates 102 accredited cosmetology schools, has revenues of approximately $193 million annually and is overseen by the Empire Beauty School management team.

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had a $21.4 million outstanding loan receivable with EEG that is due in January 2013. The Company has also provided EEG with a $15.0 million revolving credit facility, against which there no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2011 and 2010. During fiscal year 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company recorded $0.7, $0.7, and $0.9 million, respectively, of interest income related to the loan and revolving credit facility. The Company has also guaranteed a credit facility of EEG. The exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with EEG is the carrying value of the investment, the outstanding loan and the guarantee of the credit facility.

The Company utilized consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not its investment in EEG was a variable interest entity (VIE), and if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company concluded that EEG was not a VIE based on the fact that EEG had sufficient equity at risk. As the substantive voting control relates to the voting rights of the Board of Directors, the Company granted the other shareholder a proxy to vote such number of the Company's shares such that the other shareholder would have voting control of 51.0 percent of the common stock of EEG. The Company accounts for EEG as an equity investment under the voting interest model. During fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company recorded $5.5, $6.4, and $2.1 million of equity earnings related to its investment in EEG. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, EEG declared and distributed a dividend in which the Company received $4.1 million in cash and recorded tax expense of $0.3 million.

Investment in MY Style

In April 2007, the Company purchased exchangeable notes issued by Yamano Holding Corporation (Exchangeable Note) and a loan obligation of a Yamano Holdings subsidiary, MY Style, formally known as Beauty Plaza Co. Ltd., (MY Style Note) for an aggregate amount of $11.3 million (1.3 billion Yen as of April 2007). The Exchangeable Note contains an option for the Company to exchange a portion of the Exchangeable Note for shares of common stock of MY Style. In connection with the issuance of the Exchangeable Note, the Company paid a premium of approximately $5.5 million (573,000,000 Yen as of April 2007).

Exchangeable Note. In September 2008, the Company advanced an additional $3.0 million (300,000,000 Yen as of September 2008) to Yamano Holding Corporation (Yamano). In connection with the 300,000,000 Yen advance, the exchangeable portion of the Exchangeable Note increased from approximately 14.8 percent to 27.1 percent of the 800 outstanding shares of MY Style for 21,700,000 Yen. This exchange feature is akin to a deep-in-the-money option permitting the Company to purchase shares of common stock of MY Style. The option is embedded in the Exchangeable Note and does not meet the criteria for separate accounting under accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities.

The Company determined that the September 2008 modifications to the Exchangeable Note were more than minor and the loan modification should be treated as an extinguishment. The Company recorded a $2.1 million (224,000,000 Yen as of September 2008) gain related to the modification of the Exchangeable Note. However, based upon the overall fair value of the Exchangeable Note on the date of modification, the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment loss of $3.4 million (370,000,000 Yen as of September 2008). The $1.3 million net amount of the gain and other than

6. INVESTMENTS IN AND LOANS TO AFFILIATES (Continued)

temporary impairment was recorded within equity in loss of affiliates within the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.

On March 28, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with Yamano in connection with the Exchangeable Note. The amendment revised the redemptions schedule for the 100,000,000 Yen and 211,131,284 Yen payments due September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively, to March 28, 2010. The amendment was entered into in connection with a preferred share subscription agreement dated March 29, 2010 between the Company and Yamano. Under the preferred share subscription agreement, Yamano issued and the Company purchased one share of Yamano Class A Preferred Stock with a subscription amount of $1.1 million (100,000,000 Yen) and one share of Yamano Class B Preferred Stock with a subscription amount of $2.3 million (211,131,284 Yen), collectively the "Preferred Shares". The portions of the Exchangeable Note that became due as of March 28, 2010 were contributed in-kind as payment for the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares have the same terms and rights, yield a 5.0 percent dividend that accrues if not paid and have no voting rights.

The Company determined that the March 2010 modifications were minor and the loan modification should not be treated as an extinguishment. The preferred shares will be accounted for as an available for sale debt security.

Due to the natural disasters in Japan that occurred in March 2011, the Company was required to assess the preferred shares and premium for other than temporary impairment. The fair value of the collateral which is the equity value of MY Style, declined due to changes in projected revenue growth rates after the natural disasters. As MY Style is highly leveraged, any change in growth rates has a significant impact on fair value. The estimated fair value was negligible as of March 31, 2011. The Company recorded an other than temporary impairment during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 for the carrying value of the preferred shares and premium of $3.9 million (326,700,000 Yen) and $5.3 million (435,000,000 Yen), respectively.

As of June 30, 2011, the principal amount outstanding under the Exchangeable Note is $2.5 million (200,000,000 Yen). Principal payments of 100,000,000 Yen are due annually on September 30 through September 30, 2012. The Company reviews the Exchangeable Note with Yamano for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company's note may not be recoverable. The $2.5 million outstanding Exchangeable Note with Yamano as of June 30, 2011 is in good standing with no associated valuation allowance. The Company has determined the future cash flows of Yamano support the ability to make payments on the Exchangeable Note. The Exchangeable Note accrues interest at 1.845 percent and interest is payable on September 30, 2012 with the final principal payment. The Company recorded approximately $0.1 million in interest income related to the Exchangeable Note during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.

MY Style Note. As of June 30, 2011, the principal amount outstanding under the MY Style Note is $1.3 million (104,328,000 Yen). Principal payments of 52,164,000 Yen along with accrued interest are due annually on May 31 through May 31, 2013. The Company reviews the outstanding note with MY Style for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company's note may not be recoverable. The $1.3 million outstanding note with MY Style as of June 30, 2011 is in good standing with no associated valuation allowance. The Company has determined the future cash flows of MY Style support the ability to make payments on the outstanding note. The MY Style Note accrues interest at 3.0 percent. The Company recorded less than $0.1 million in interest income related to the MY Style Note during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.

The Company acquired a 50.0 percent interest in Hair Club for Men, Ltd. through its acquisition of Hair Club in fiscal year 2005. The Company accounts for its investment in Hair Club for Men, Ltd. under the equity method of accounting. Hair Club for Men, Ltd. operates Hair Club centers in Illinois and Wisconsin. During fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company recorded income and received dividends of $0.6 and $1.1 million, $0.9 and $1.3 million, and $0.6 and $0.9 million, respectively. The exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with Hair Club for Men, Ltd. is the carrying value of the investment.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value measurement guidance for financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by this guidance contains three levels as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2—Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

•: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
•: Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;
•: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
•: Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management's estimates of market participant assumptions.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. The following tables sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Derivative instruments. The Company's derivative instrument assets and liabilities consist of cash flow hedges represented by interest rate swaps and forward foreign currency contracts. The instruments are classified as Level 2 as the fair value is obtained using observable inputs available for similar liabilities in active markets at the measurement date that are reviewed by the Company. See breakout by type of contract and reconciliation to the balance sheet line item that each contract is classified within Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Equity put option. The Company's merger of the European franchise salon operations with the operations of the Franck Provost Salon Group on January 31, 2008 contained an equity put and an equity call. In March 2011, a portion of the equity put option was settled. See further discussion within Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The equity put option is valued using binomial lattice models that incorporate assumptions including the business enterprise value at that date and future estimates of volatility and earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization multiples.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

At June 30, 2011, the fair value of the equity put option was $22.7 million and is classified within other noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheet.

Preferred Shares. The Company has preferred shares in Yamano Holding Corporation. The preferred shares are classified as Level 3 as there are no quoted market prices and minimal market participant data for preferred shares of similar rating. The preferred shares are classified within investment in and loans to affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the preferred shares is based on the financial health of Yamano Holding Corporation and terms within the preferred share agreement which allow the Company to convert the subscription amount of the preferred shares into equity of MY Style, a wholly owned subsidiary of Yamano Holding Corporation. The Company recorded an other than temporary impairment for the full carrying value of the preferred shares during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. See further discussion within Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Instruments. In addition to the financial instruments listed above, the Company's financial instruments also include cash, cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and debt.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximated the carrying values as of June 30, 2011 and 2010. At June 30, 2011, the estimated fair values and carrying amounts of debt were $335.4 and $313.4 million, respectively. At June 30, 2010, the estimated fair values and carrying amounts of debt were $458.6 and $440.0 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt was determined based on internal valuation models, which utilize quoted market prices and interest rates for the same or similar instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

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

The following tables present the fair value in our assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

Senior Term Notes

Private Shelf Agreement

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $133.6 and $174.1 million, respectively, in unsecured, fixed rate, senior term notes outstanding under a Private Shelf Agreement, of which $22.1 and $40.5 million were classified as part of the current portion of the Company's long-term debt at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The notes require quarterly payments, and final maturity dates range from June 2013 through December 2017.

The Private Shelf Agreement includes financial covenants including debt to EBITDA ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios and minimum net equity tests (as defined within the Private Shelf Agreement), as well as other customary terms and conditions. The maturity date for the debt may be accelerated upon the occurrence of various events of default, including breaches of the agreement, certain cross-default situations, certain bankruptcy related situations, and other customary events of default.

In July 2009, the Company amended the Restated Private Shelf Agreement. The amendments included increasing the Company's minimum net worth covenant from $675.0 to $800.0 million, lowering the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement from 1.5x to 1.3x, amending certain definitions, including EBITDA and Fixed Charges, limiting the Company's restricted payments to $20.0 million if the Company's leverage ratio is greater than 2.0x and the addition of a risk based capital fee calculated on the daily average outstanding principal amount equal to an annual rate of 1.0 percent that commences one year after the amendment date. During fiscal year 2010, the net proceeds from the convertible senior notes and common stock issuances in July 2009 were utilized in part to repay $30.0 million of senior term notes under the Restated Private Shelf Agreement.

Private Placement Senior Term Notes

At June 30, 2011, the Company did not have any outstanding private placement senior term notes.

On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a prepayment amendment on the private placement senior term notes whereby the Company negotiated to prepay the notes with a premium over the principal amount that is less than the make-whole premium that is otherwise payable upon redemption. During fiscal year 2010, the net proceeds from the convertible senior notes and common stock issuances in July 2009 were utilized to repay the $267.0 million of private placement senior term notes

of varying maturities and $30.0 million of additional senior term notes under a Private Shelf Agreement.

As a result of the repayment of a portion of the senior term notes during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred $12.8 million in make-whole payments and other fees along with $5.2 million in interest rate swap settlements, as discussed in Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, totaling $18.0 million that was recorded as interest expense within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Convertible Senior Notes

In July 2009, the Company issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0 percent convertible senior notes due July 2014. The notes are unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year at a rate of 5.0 percent per year. The notes will be convertible subject to certain conditions further described below at an initial conversion rate of 64.6726 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $15.46 per share of the Company's common stock). As of June 30, 2011, the conversion rate was 64.8263 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (representing a conversion price of approximately $15.43 per share of the Company's common stock).

Holders may convert their notes at their option prior to April 15, 2014 if the Company's stock price meets certain price triggers or upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as defined in the convertible senior note agreement. On or after April 15, 2014, holders may convert each of their notes at their option at any time prior to the maturity date for the notes.

The Company has the choice of net-cash settlement, settlement in its own shares or a combination thereof and concluded the conversion option is indexed to its own stock. As a result, in July 2009 the Company allocated $24.7 million of the $172.5 million principal amount of the convertible senior notes to equity, which resulted in a $24.7 million debt discount. The allocation was based on measuring the fair value of the convertible senior notes using a discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate was based on an estimated credit rating for the Company. In July 2009, the estimated fair value of the convertible senior notes was $147.8 million. The resulting $24.7 million debt discount will be amortized over the period the convertible senior notes are expected to be outstanding, which is five years, as additional non-cash interest expense. The combined debt discount amortization and the contractual interest coupon resulted in an effective interest rate on the convertible debt of 8.9 percent.

The following table provides equity and debt information for the convertible senior notes:

In connection with the convertible senior note offering, the Company issued 13,225,000 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of $163.5 million.

Term Loan

The Company had a term loan with monthly interest payments based on a one-month LIBOR plus 2.25 percent. In June 2011, the Company repaid the outstanding term loan totaling $85.0 million.

Revolving Credit Facility

On June 30, 2011, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement which now provides for a $400.0 million senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has rates tied to LIBOR plus 145 basis points as of June 30, 2011. The revolving credit facility requires a quarterly facility fee on the average daily amount of the facility (whether used or unused) calculated at a rate of 30 basis points as of June 30, 2011. Both the LIBOR credit spread and the facility fee are based on the Company's debt to EBITDA ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. The amendments included increasing the Company's minimum net worth covenant from $800.0 to $850.0 million, and amending or adding certain definitions, including Change in Law, Defaulting Lender, EBITDA, Fronting Exposure, Replacement Lender, and Accounting Principles. In addition, the Company may request an increase in revolving credit commitments under the facility of up to $200.0 million under certain circumstances. Under the new agreement, indebtedness related to Capital Leases is limited to $50.0 million, and Restricted Payments are tiered based on Debt to EBITDA. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include change of control of the Company and the Company's default of other debt exceeding $10.0 million. The facility expires in July 2016. We were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of our credit agreement and senior notes as of June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility. Additionally, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit under the facility of $26.0 and $24.6 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, primarily related to its self-insurance program. Unused available credit under the facility at June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $374.0 and $275.4 million, respectively.

Equipment and Leasehold Notes Payable

The equipment and leasehold notes payable are primarily comprised of capital lease obligations which are payable in monthly installments through fiscal year 2016. The capital lease obligations are collateralized by the assets purchased under the agreement.

Other Notes Payable

The Company had $1.3 and $1.7 million in unsecured outstanding notes at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to debt assumed in acquisitions.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's primary market risk exposures in the normal course of business are changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the management of these exposures through the use of a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative financial instrument contracts. By policy, the Company does not enter into such contracts for the purpose of speculation or trading. Hedging transactions are limited to an underlying exposure. The Company has established an interest rate management policy that manages the interest rate mix of its total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. The Company's foreign currency exchange rate risk management policy includes frequently monitoring market data and external factors that may influence exchange rate fluctuations in order to minimize fluctuation in earnings due to changes in exchange rates. The Company enters into arrangements with counterparties that the Company believes are creditworthy. Generally, derivative contract arrangements settle on a net basis. The Company assesses the effectiveness of its hedges on a quarterly basis using the critical terms method in accordance with guidance for accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities.

The Company has primarily utilized derivatives which are designated as either cash flow or fair value hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment. For cash flow hedges and fair value hedges, changes in fair value are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders' equity until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in current earnings. To the extent the changes offset, the hedge is effective. Any hedge ineffectiveness the Company has historically experienced has not been material. By policy, the Company designs its derivative instruments to be effective as hedges and aims to minimize fluctuations in earnings due to market risk exposures. If a derivative instrument is terminated prior to its contract date, the Company continues to defer the related gain or loss and recognizes it in current earnings over the remaining life of the related hedged item.

The Company also utilizes freestanding derivative contracts which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The Company marks to market such derivatives with the resulting gains and losses recorded within current earnings in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with all derivatives (designated as hedges or freestanding economic hedges) are classified in the same category as the related cash flows subject to the hedging relationship.

Cash Flow Hedges

As of June 30, 2011, the Company's cash flow hedges consist of forward foreign currency contracts.

In the past, the Company used interest rate swaps to maintain its variable to fixed rate debt ratio in accordance with its established policy. The Company repaid variable and fixed rate debt during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. Prior to the repayments, the Company had two outstanding interest rate swaps totaling $40.0 million on $85.0 million aggregate variable rate debt with maturity dates in fiscal year 2012. The interest rate swaps were terminated prior to the maturity dates in conjunction with the repayments of debt and were settled for an aggregate loss of $0.1 million. The $0.1 million loss was recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 on the termination of the interest rate swaps and was recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company repaid variable and fixed rate debt during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. Prior to the repayments, the Company had two outstanding interest rate swaps totaling $50.0 million on $100.0 million aggregate variable rate debt with maturity dates between fiscal years 2013 and 2015. The

119

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

interest rate swaps were terminated prior to the maturity dates in conjunction with the repayments of debt and were settled for an aggregate loss of $5.2 million. The $5.2 million loss recorded during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 on the termination of the interest rate swaps was recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also had two outstanding treasury lock agreements with maturity dates between fiscal years 2013 and 2015. The treasury lock agreements were terminated prior to the maturity dates in conjunction with the repayments of debt and were settled for a loss of less than $0.1 million during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency rate fluctuations associated with certain forecasted intercompany transactions. The Company's primary forward foreign currency contracts hedge approximately $0.6 million of monthly payments in Canadian dollars for intercompany transactions. The Company's forward foreign currency contracts hedge transactions through September 2012.

These cash flow hedges were designed and are effective as cash flow hedges. They were recorded at fair value within other noncurrent liabilities or other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with corresponding offsets primarily recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Fair Value Hedges

In the past, the Company had two interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges. The Company paid variable rates of interest and received fixed rates of interest under these contracts. The contracts and related debt matured during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009.

Freestanding Derivative Forward Contracts

The Company uses freestanding derivative forward contracts to offset the Company's exposure to the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated investments and intercompany assets and liabilities. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recognized currently in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

In November 2009, the Company terminated its freestanding derivative contract on its remaining payments on the MY Style Note and recorded a gain of $0.7 million. The contract was settled in cash, discounted to present value. Gains and losses over the life of the contract were recognized in earnings in conjunction with marking the contract to fair value. A net loss of $0.2 million was recognized during fiscal year 2010.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Operating Leases:

The Company is committed under long-term operating leases for the rental of most of its company-owned salon and hair restoration center locations. The original terms of the leases range from one to 20 years, with many leases renewable for an additional five to ten year term at the option of the Company, and certain leases include escalation provisions. For certain leases, the Company is required to pay additional rent based on a percent of sales in excess of a predetermined amount and, in most cases, real estate taxes and other expenses. Rent expense for the Company's international department store salons is based primarily on a percent of sales.

The Company also leases the premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with the franchisees. These leases, generally with terms of approximately five years, are expected to be renewed on expiration. All additional lease costs are passed through to the franchisees.

During fiscal year 2005, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a 102,448 square foot building, located in Edina, Minnesota. The Company began to recognize rent expense related to this property during the three months ended September 30, 2005, which was the date that it obtained the legal right to use and control the property. The original lease term ends in May 2016 and the aggregate amount of lease payments to be made over the remaining original lease term are approximately $5.6 million. The lease agreement includes an option to purchase the property or extend the original term for two successive periods of five years.

In addition, the Company leases an 89,900 square foot building near the company-owned distribution center located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The original lease term ends in August 2013 and the aggregate amount of lease payments to be made over the remaining original lease term are approximately $0.5 million

Sublease income was $28.4, $29.2, and $29.9 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Rent expense on premises subleased was $27.9, $28.8, and $29.5 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Rent expense and the related rental income on the sublease arrangements with franchisees is netted within the rent expense line item on the Consolidated

Statement of Operations. In most cases, the amount of rental income related to sublease arrangements with franchisees approximates the amount of rent expense from the primary lease, thereby having no net impact on rent expense or net income (loss). However, in limited cases, the Company charges a ten percent mark-up in its sublease arrangements. The net rental income resulting from such arrangements totaled $0.5 million for fiscal year 2011, and $0.4 million for each fiscal year 2010 and 2009, and was classified in the royalties and fees caption of the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Total rent expense, excluding rent expense on premises subleased to franchisees, includes the following:

Total minimum lease payments	$	918,110	$	141,163	$	5,596

Salon Development Program:

As a part of its salon development program, the Company continues to negotiate and enter into leases and commitments for the acquisition of equipment and leasehold improvements related to future salon locations, and continues to enter into transactions to acquire established hair care salons.

Contingencies:

The Company is self-insured for most workers' compensation, employment practice liability, and general liability. Workers' compensation and general liability losses are subject to per occurrence and aggregate annual liability limitations. The Company is insured for losses in excess of these limitations. The Company is also self-insured for health care claims for eligible participating employees subject to certain deductibles and limitations. The Company determines its liability for claims incurred but not reported on an actuarial basis.

11. LEASE TERMINATION COSTS

The Company approved plans in June 2009 and July 2008 to close approximately 80 and 160, respectively, underperforming company-owned salons. As lease settlements were negotiated, the Company found that some lessors were willing to negotiate rent reductions which allowed the Company to keep operating certain salons. As a result, the number of salons closed was less than the amount of salons per the approved plans. For salons that did not receive rent reductions, the Company ceased using the right to use the leased property or negotiated a lease termination agreement with the lessors. Lease termination costs represents either the lease settlement or the net present value of remaining contractual lease payments related to closed salons, reduced by estimated sublease rentals. Lease termination costs from continuing operations are presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The plans are substantially complete.

The activity reflected in the accrual for lease termination costs is as follows:

			For the Twelve Months Ended June 30,

Accrual for Lease Terminations			2011			2010

Balance at July 1,			$	1,386		$	2,760

		Cash payments		(1,059	)		(3,519	)

Balance at June 30,			$	327		$	1,386

12. LITIGATION

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with 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 Company's counsel believes that the Company has valid defenses in these matters, it could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements in any particular period.

During fiscal year 2011, the Company settled a legal claim with the former owner of Hair Club for $1.7 million.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company settled two legal claims regarding certain customer and employee matters for an aggregate charge of $5.2 million plus a commitment to provide discount coupons. Payments aggregating $4.3 and $0.9 million were made during fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.

than U.S. rates adversely impacted the annual effective tax rate due to a decrease in foreign income from continuing operations before income taxes and other foreign non-deductible items.

The (5.4) percent of other, net in fiscal year 2011 includes the rate impact of meals and entertainment, donated inventory, unrecognized tax benefits, and miscellaneous items of 2.8, (3.0), (3.7), and (1.5) percent, respectively.

During the fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded adjustments to correct its income tax balances. The adjustments increased the Company's fiscal year 2010 income tax provision by $2.1 million and increased its effective income tax rate by 3.9 percent. Included in the income tax provision are U.S. and international income tax adjustments resulting in a shift of the income tax provision between jurisdictions. On a world-wide basis the adjustments are immaterial. The Company does not believe the adjustments are material to its fiscal 2010 results of operations or its financial position or results of operations of any prior periods.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded an adjustment to correct its prior year deferred income tax balances. The adjustment increased the Company's fiscal year 2009 income tax provision by $3.8 million and increased its effective income tax rate by 4.8 percent. The Company does not believe the adjustment is material to its fiscal 2009 results of operations or its financial position or results of operations of any prior periods.

13. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

At June 30, 2011, the Company had state and foreign operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively. These losses relate to various states, the U.K., Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $7.5 million relating to losses in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The Company expects to fully utilize all of the loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance has not been established.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had set up a valuation allowance of $1.0 million relating to the Netherlands tax losses. The valuation allowance increase of $6.5 million is due to additional tax losses in the Netherlands and Luxemborg.

As of June 30, 2011, undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries of approximately $42.3 million were considered to have been reinvested indefinitely and, accordingly, the Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes on such earnings.

The Company files tax returns and pays tax primarily in the U.S, Canada, the U.K., Luxembourg and the Netherlands as well as states, cities, and provinces within these jurisdictions. In the U.S, fiscal years 2007 and after remain open for federal tax audit. The Company's U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2007 through 2009 are currently under audit. For state tax audits, the statute of limitations generally spans three to four years, resulting in a number of states remaining open for tax audits dating back to fiscal year 2007. However, the company is under audit in a number of states in which the statute of limitations has been extended for fiscal years 2000 and forward. Internationally (including Canada), the statute of limitations for tax audits varies by jurisdiction, but generally ranges from three to five years. A rollforward of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	2011			2010			2009

Balance at beginning of period	$	16,856		$	14,787		$	20,400
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		796			5,549			2,765
(Reductions) additions based on tax positions of prior years		(759	)		(185	)		121
Reductions on tax positions related to the expiration of the statue of limitations		(2,718	)		(2,993	)		(8,167	)
Settlements		(682	)		(302	)		(332	)

Balance at end of period	$	13,493		$	16,856		$	14,787

If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, approximately $6.0 million of the $13.5 million reserve would benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. During the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 we recorded income tax (benefit) expense of approximately $(0.6), $(1.1), and $2.1 million, respectively, for the accrual of interest and penalties. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $2.7 million. This amount is not included in the gross unrecognized tax benefits noted above.

It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next twelve months. However, we do not expect the change to have a significant effect on our results of operations or our financial position.

Deferred Compensation Contracts:

The Company has agreed to pay the Chief Executive Officer, commencing upon his retirement, an amount equal to 60.0 percent of his salary, adjusted for inflation, for the remainder of his life. Additionally, the Company has a survivor benefit plan payable upon his death at a rate of one half of his deferred compensation benefit, adjusted for inflation, for the remaining life of his spouse. In addition, the Company has other unfunded deferred compensation contracts covering key executives within the Company. The key executives' benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation prior to departure. The Company utilizes a June 30 measurement date for these deferred compensation contracts, a discount rate based on the Aa Bond index rate (5.5 and 5.4 percent at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively) and projected salary increases of 4.0 percent at June 30, 2011 and 2010 to estimate the obligations associated with these deferred compensation contracts. Compensation associated with these agreements is charged to expense as services are provided. Associated costs included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations totaled $4.3, $5.2, and $3.7 million for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The accrued liability and projected benefit obligation of these deferred compensation contracts totaled $33.6 and $30.2 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, $28.6 and $29.6 million is included in other noncurrent liabilities, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, $5.0 and $0.6 million of the balance is included in accrued liabilities, respectively. The tax-affected accumulated other comprehensive loss for the deferred compensation contracts, consisting of primarily unrecognized actuarial loss, was $1.6 and $1.9 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic deferred compensation expense in fiscal year 2012 is approximately $0.2 million. The Company intends to fund its future obligations under these arrangements through company-owned life insurance policies on the participants. Cash values of these policies totaled $22.3 and $20.2 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company has agreed to pay the former Vice Chairman an annual amount of $0.6 million, adjusted for inflation to $0.9 million in fiscal years 2011 and 2010, for the remainder of his life. The former Vice Chairman has agreed that during the period in which payments are made, as provided in the agreement, he will not engage in any business competitive with the business conducted by the Company. Additionally, the Company has a survivor benefit plan for the former Vice Chairman's spouse, payable upon his death, at a rate of one half of his deferred compensation benefit, adjusted for inflation, for the remaining life of his spouse. Estimated associated costs included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations totaled $0.7, $0.6, and $0.8 million for each of fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Related obligations totaled $5.9 and $6.2 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company intends to fund all future obligations under this agreement through company-owned life insurance policies on the former Vice Chairman. Cash values of these policies totaled $4.2 and $3.9 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

15. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Net Income Per Share:

The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding RSAs and RSUs. The Company's dilutive earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which includes shares issuable under the Company's stock option plan and long-term incentive plan, and dilutive securities. Stock-based awards with exercise prices greater than the average market value of the Company's common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company's dilutive earnings per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Company's convertible debt if the impact is dilutive, along with the exclusion of interest expense, net of taxes. The impact of the convertible debt is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

		2011

		(Shares in thousands)
Weighted average shares for basic earnings per share			56,704	55,806	42,897
Effect of dilutive securities:
	Dilutive effect of convertible debt		—	10,730	—
	Dilutive effect of stock-based compensation(1)		—	217	129

Weighted average shares for diluted earnings per share			56,704	66,753	43,026

(1): For fiscal year 2011, 334 common stock equivalents of potentially dilutive common stock were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation Award Plans:

In May of 2004, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan received shareholder approval at the annual shareholders' meeting held on October 28, 2004. The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, equity-based stock appreciation rights (SARs) and restricted stock, as well as cash-based performance grants, to employees and directors of the Company. On March 8, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2004 Plan to permit the granting and issuance of restricted stock units (RSUs). On October 28, 2010, the shareholders of Regis Corporation approved an amendment to the 2004 Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to grants and awards from 2,500,000 to 6,750,000. The 2004 Plan expires on May 26, 2014. Stock options, SARs and restricted stock under the 2004 Plan generally vest at a rate of 20.0 percent

annually on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant. The stock options and SARs have a maximum term of ten years. The cash-based performance grants will be tied to the achievement of certain performance goals during a specified performance period, not less than one fiscal year in length. The RSUs cliff vest after five years and payment of the RSUs is deferred until January 31 of the year following vesting. Unvested awards are subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the Company's measure of compensation cost for its incentive stock plans, as well as an estimate of future compensation expense related to these awards.

The Company also has outstanding stock options under the 2000 Stock Option Plan (2000 Plan), although the plan terminated in 2010, which allowed the Company to grant both incentive and nonqualified stock options and replaced the Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan (1991 Plan). Total options covering 3,500,000 shares of common stock were available for grant under the 2000 Plan to employees of the Company for a term not to exceed ten years from the date of grant. The term may not exceed five years for incentive stock options granted to employees of the Company possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Options may also be granted to the Company's outside directors for a term not to exceed ten years from the grant date. The 2000 Plan contains restrictions on transferability, time of exercise, exercise price and on disposition of any shares acquired through exercise of the options. Stock options were granted at not less than fair market value on the date of grant. The Board of Directors determines the 2000 Plan participants and establishes the terms and conditions of each option.

The terms and conditions of the shares granted under the 1991 Plan are similar to the 2000 Plan. The 1991 Plan terminated in 2001. All shares granted under the 1991 Plan have been exercised, forfeited, or cancelled as of June 30, 2011.

Outstanding and unvested RSAs of 862,094 at June 30, 2011 had an intrinsic value of $13.2 million and a weighted average remaining vesting term of 2.2 years. Due to estimated forfeitures, 806,986 awards are expected to vest with a total intrinsic value of $12.4 million.

Outstanding and unvested RSUs of 215,000 at June 30, 2011 had an intrinsic value of $3.3 million and a weighted average remaining vesting term of 0.7 years. All unvested RSUs are expected to vest in fiscal year 2012.

Outstanding SARs of 1,087,460 at June 30, 2011 had a total intrinsic value of zero and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 6.9 years. Exercisable SARs of 604,140 at June 30, 2011 had a total intrinsic value of zero and a weighted average contractual term of 6.0 years. An additional 459,838 SARs are expected to vest with a $20.39 per share weighted average grant price, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 8.0 years and a total intrinsic value of zero.

During fiscal year 2011, the Company accelerated the vesting of 68,390 unvested RSAs held by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Executive Vice President, Fashion and Education.

As a result of the modifications, the Company recognized an incremental compensation cost of less than $0.1 million during fiscal year 2011.

Total cash received from the exercise of share-based instruments in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $0.7, $3.1 and $3.9 million, respectively.

15. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)

As of June 30, 2011, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested stock-based compensation arrangements was $20.9 million. The related weighted average period over which such cost is expected to be recognized was approximately 3.1 years as of June 30, 2011.

The total intrinsic value of all stock-based compensation that was exercised during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $0.2, $0.7, and $1.9 million, respectively.

Using the fair value of each grant on the date of grant, the weighted average fair values per stock-based compensation award granted during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

	2011		2010		2009

Stock options	$	—	$	7.36	$	8.60
SARs		6.26		8.60		7.07
Restricted stock awards		16.60		19.12		19.14
Restricted stock units		—		—		—

The expense associated with the RSA and RSU grants is based on the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant. The significant assumptions used in determining the underlying fair value on the date of grant of each stock option and SAR grant issued during the fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 is presented below:

					2009

Risk-free interest rate	2.29	%	2.79	%	2.45 - 3.29%
Expected term (in years)	5.50		5.50		5.50
Expected volatility	44.00	%	42.00	%	28.00 - 40.00%
Expected dividend yield	1.45	%	0.85	%	0.56 - 0.84%

The risk free rate of return is determined based on the U.S. Treasury rates approximating the expected life of the options and SARs granted. Expected volatility is established based on historical volatility of the Company's stock price. Estimated expected life was based on an analysis of historical stock options granted data which included analyzing grant activity including grants exercised, expired, and canceled. The expected dividend yield is determined based on the Company's annual dividend amount as a percentage of the strike price at the time of the grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeiture rates.

Compensation expense included in income before income taxes related to stock- based compensation was $9.6, $9.3, and $7.5 million for the three years ended June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Authorized Shares and Designation of Preferred Class:

The Company has 100 million shares of capital stock authorized, par value $0.05, of which all outstanding shares, and shares available under the Stock Option Plans, have been designated as common.

In addition, 250,000 shares of authorized capital stock have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (preferred stock). None of the preferred stock has been issued.

Shareholders' Rights Plan:

The Company has a shareholders' rights plan pursuant to which one preferred share purchase right is held by shareholders for each outstanding share of common stock. The rights become exercisable only following the acquisition by a person or group, without the prior consent of the Board of Directors, of 15.0 percent or more of the Company's voting stock, or following the announcement of a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire an interest of 15.0 percent or more. If the rights become exercisable, they entitle all holders, except the takeover bidder, to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of preferred stock at an exercise price of $140, subject to adjustment, or in lieu of purchasing the preferred stock, to purchase for the same exercise price common stock of the Company (or in certain cases common stock of an acquiring company) having a market value of twice the exercise price of a right.
