REGIS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Regis Corporation (the Company) as of September 30, 2016 and for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2016 and its consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any discussed in the notes below. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and cash flows for the full year.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data for June 30, 2016 was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016 and other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the current fiscal year.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation:

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company granted 334,659 restricted stock units (RSUs) and 393,045 performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), which includes 66,082 incremental PSUs earned in connection with the achievement of fiscal year 2016 performance metrics. All grants relate to stock incentive plans approved by the shareholders of the Company.

Total compensation cost for stock-based payment arrangements totaled $1.9 and $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, recorded within general and administrative expense on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment Assessments, Excluding Goodwill:
The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets at the individual salon level, as this is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets and liabilities, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets or the asset grouping may not be recoverable. 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 long-lived assets. If the undiscounted estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company calculates an impairment charge based on the assets' estimated fair value. The fair value of the long-lived assets is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on the best information available, including salon level revenues and expenses. Long-lived asset impairment charges of $1.9 and $2.7 million have been recorded within depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company:

Stock Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance simplifying the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company early adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of September 30, 2015 reflects the reclassification of employee taxes paid for shares withheld of $0.7 million from operating to financing activities, in accordance with this new guidance. The other provisions of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.



7



Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance requiring debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, applying it retrospectively. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016 reflects the reclassification of debt issuance costs of $0.8 million from other assets to long-term debt, net.

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

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance requiring organizations that lease assets to recognize the rights and obligations created by those leases on the consolidated balance sheet. The new standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements but expect this adoption will result in a significant increase in the assets and liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance for revenue recognition. The updated accounting guidance provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the exchange for goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted at the beginning of fiscal year 2018. The standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and is evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its related disclosures, including the method of adoption.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued updated cash flow guidance clarifying cash flow classification and presentation for certain items. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2.
INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES:

Empire Education Group, Inc. (EEG)

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had a 54.6% ownership interest in EEG and no remaining investment value as the Company fully impaired its investment in EEG as of December 31, 2015. The Company has not recorded any equity losses related to its investment in EEG subsequent to the impairment. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $0.0 and $(0.9) million, respectively, of equity losses related to its investment in EEG. While the Company could be responsible for certain liabilities associated with this venture, the Company does not currently expect them to have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

3.
EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The Company’s basic earnings per share is calculated as net income (loss) divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding restricted stock awards, RSUs and PSUs. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which includes shares issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based awards with exercise prices greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, 217,501 of common stock equivalents of potentially dilutive common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation due to the net loss from continuing operations.

The computation of weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excluded 2,505,850 and 835,822 of stock-based awards during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as they were not dilutive under the treasury stock method.

4.    SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

Additional Paid-In Capital:

The $0.8 million increase in additional paid-in capital during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to stock-based compensation expense of $1.9 million, partially offset by other stock-based compensation activity of $1.1 million.

5. 
INCOME TAXES:

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized tax expense of $2.7 and $2.8 million, respectively, with corresponding effective tax rates of 45.5% and 98.3%.

The recorded tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were different than what would normally be expected primarily due to the impact of the deferred tax valuation allowance. The majority of the tax expense related to non-cash tax expense for tax benefits on certain indefinite-lived assets that the Company cannot recognize for reporting purposes. This non-cash impact will continue as long as the Company has a valuation allowance in place against most of its deferred tax assets and is expected to approximate $7.8 million of expense for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 2010 through 2013 have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and were moved to the IRS Appeals Division for outstanding IRS proposed audit adjustments. The Company believes its income tax positions and deductions will be sustained and will continue to vigorously defend such positions. All earlier tax years are closed to examination. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and international income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2012.

6. 
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

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 actions are being vigorously defended, the Company 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.

See Note 5 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion regarding certain issues that have resulted from the IRS' examination of fiscal 2010 through 2013 federal income tax returns. Final resolution of these issues is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

In December 2015, the Company exchanged its $120.0 million 5.75% senior notes due December 2017 for $123.0 million 5.5% senior notes due December 2019 (Senior Term Notes). The Senior Term Notes were issued at a $3.0 million discount which will be amortized to interest over the term of the notes.

As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility. Additionally, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit under the facility of $1.5 and $1.6 million at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively, primarily related to the Company's self-insurance program. Unused available credit under the facility at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 was $198.5 and $198.4 million, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants and requirements of its financing arrangements as of and during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

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

As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and debt approximated their carrying values. The estimated fair value of the Company's debt is based on Level 2 inputs.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets, including the Company’s equity method investments, tangible fixed and other assets and goodwill, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. The fair values of the Company’s 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.

11




During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $1.9 million of long-lived asset impairment charges which were based on fair values using Level 3 inputs. See Note 1 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A included in our June 30, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the current fiscal year.
 
MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
 
Regis Corporation (RGS) owns, franchises and operates beauty salons. Our long-term mission is to create guests for life. To successfully achieve our mission and build a winning organization, we must help our stylists have successful and satisfying careers, which will drive great guest experiences and in turn, guests for life. We are investing in a number of areas focused on providing an outstanding guest experience and helping our stylists have successful careers, including investments in people, training and technology.
 
As of September 30, 2016, we owned, franchised or held ownership interests in 9,455 worldwide locations. Our locations consisted of 9,260 system-wide North American and International salons, and 195 locations in which we maintain a non-controlling ownership interest less than 100 percent. Each of our salon concepts generally offer similar salon products and services and serve the mass market. As of September 30, 2016, we had approximately 45,000 corporate employees worldwide.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the interim unaudited Condensed 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 interim unaudited Condensed 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 interim unaudited Condensed 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 the June 30, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Note 1 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe the accounting policies related to investments in affiliates, the valuation of goodwill, the valuation and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, estimates used in relation to tax liabilities and deferred taxes and legal contingencies are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial condition and results of operations. Discussion of each of these policies is contained under “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7 of our June 30, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 Same-store sales are calculated on a daily basis as the total change in sales for company-owned locations that were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly same-store sales are the sum of the same-store sales computed on a daily basis. Locations relocated within a one-mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. International same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation.

The same-store sales decrease of 1.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was due to a decrease of 5.1% in same-store guest visits, partly offset by an increase of 4.1% in average ticket. The Company constructed (net of relocations) and closed 59 and 268 company-owned salons, respectively, during the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 and sold (net of buybacks) 42 company-owned salons to franchisees during the same period (Fiscal Year 2017 Net Salon Count Changes).

The same-store sales increase of 0.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was due to an increase of 2.1% in average ticket, partly offset by a decrease of 1.4% in same-store guest visits. The Company constructed (net of relocations) and closed 91 and 238 company-owned salons, respectively, during the twelve months ended September 30, 2015 and sold (net of buybacks) 88 company-owned salons to franchisees during the same period (Fiscal Year 2016 Net Salon Count Changes).

Consolidated revenues are primarily comprised of service and product revenues, as well as franchise royalties and fees. Fluctuations in these three major revenue categories, operating expenses and other income and expense were as follows:

Service Revenues

The $14.6 million decrease in service revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to the Fiscal Year 2017 Net Salon Count Changes, a same-store service sales decrease of 0.8% and foreign currency fluctuations. The decrease in same-store service revenues was primarily the result of a 4.9% decrease in same-store guest visits, partly offset by a 4.1% increase in average ticket during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The $14.6 million decrease in service revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to the Fiscal Year 2016 Net Salon Count Changes and foreign currency fluctuations, partly offset by a same-store service sales increase of 0.3%. The increase in same-store service revenues was primarily the result of an increase in average ticket of 1.4% due to a change in service mix and pricing, partly offset by a 1.1% decrease in same-store guest visits during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Product Revenues

The $4.5 million decrease in product revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to the Fiscal Year 2017 Net Salon Count Changes, a same-store product sales decrease of 2.1% and foreign currency fluctuations. The decrease in same-store product sales was primarily the result of a 3.9% decrease in same-store transactions, partly offset by a 1.8% increase in average ticket.
 
The $0.8 million decrease in product revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to the Fiscal Year 2016 Net Salon Count Changes and foreign currency fluctuations, partly offset by a same-store product sales increase of 2.4%. The increase in same-store product sales was primarily the result of a 3.6% increase in same-store transactions due to improved execution as more of our service guests purchased retail product, partly offset by a 1.2% decrease in average ticket.


16



Royalties and Fees

Total franchised locations open at September 30, 2016 were 2,528 as compared to 2,374 at September 30, 2015. Royalties and fees were flat for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the increased number of franchised locations and same-store sales increases at franchised locations, partly offset by lower franchise fees and lapping a higher level of franchise termination fees in the prior year.

Total franchised locations open at September 30, 2015 were 2,374 as compared to 2,214 at September 30, 2014. The $0.9 million increase in royalties and fees for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to the increased number of franchised locations and same-store sales increases at franchised locations.

Cost of Service

The 40 basis point increase in cost of service as a percent of service revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily the result of state minimum wage increases and lapping a rebate in the prior year, partly offset by improved stylist productivity and lower bonuses.

The 90 basis point increase in cost of service as a percent of service revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily the result of state minimum wage increases, stylist productivity and higher health insurance costs, partly offset by lower field incentives.

Cost of Product

The 50 basis point increase in cost of product as a percent of product revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to inventory write-offs associated with salon closures and obsolescence.

The 180 basis point decrease in cost of product as a percent of product revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to improved salon-level inventory management and lapping of certain costs in the prior year quarter.

Site Operating Expenses

Site operating expenses decreased $3.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to cost savings associated with salon telecom costs and workers' compensation, a net reduction in salon counts mainly within our North American Value and Premium segments, timing of marketing expenses and foreign currency.
 
Site operating expenses decreased $3.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to a net reduction in salon counts, timing of certain marketing expenses, lower self-insurance costs and cost savings, partly offset by higher freight costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative (G&A) decreased $4.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to timing of expenses, one-time compensation benefits, lapping certain costs in the prior year, cost savings and foreign currency, partly offset by planned strategic investments in Technical Education.

G&A decreased $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to lapping legal fees and certain costs in the prior year quarter, cost savings and foreign currency fluctuations. This decrease was partly offset by the impact of fiscal 2015’s earned performance shares, whereas the prior year quarter was not impacted in a similar fashion because performance shares were not earned in fiscal 2014 and planned strategic investments in Technical Education.

Rent

Rent expense decreased $2.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to salon closures and foreign currency fluctuations, partly offset by lease termination fees and rent inflation.

Rent expense decreased $2.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to salon closures and foreign currency fluctuations, partly offset by rent inflation.

17



Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization (D&A) decreased $1.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to lower depreciation on a reduced salon base and reduced fixed asset impairment charges.

The $4.3 million decrease in D&A during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to lower depreciation on a reduced salon base and reduced fixed asset impairment charges.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the senior term note modification and the amendment to the revolving credit facility in fiscal year 2016.

The $0.7 million decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to the settlement of the Company's $172.5 million convertible senior notes in July 2014.

Interest Income and Other, net

The $0.4 million decrease in interest income and other, net during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to lapping prior year gains on salon assets sold.

The $1.1 million increase in interest income and other, net during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to gains on salon assets sold and interest income.

Income Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized tax expense of $2.7 and $2.8 million, respectively, with corresponding effective tax rates of 45.5% and 98.3%, respectively.

The recorded tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were different than what would normally be expected primarily due to the impact of the deferred tax valuation allowance. The majority of the tax expense related to non-cash tax expense for tax benefits on certain indefinite-lived assets that the Company cannot recognize for reporting purposes. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 included non-cash expense of $2.0 million related to this matter. This non-cash tax expense will continue as long as the Company has a valuation allowance in place against most of its deferred tax assets and is expected to approximate $7.8 million of expense for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.
Additionally, the Company is currently paying taxes in Canada and certain states in which it has profitable entities.
See Note 5 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Equity in Loss of Affiliated Companies, Net of Income Taxes

Equity in loss of affiliated companies of $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, was due to the Company's share of EEG's net loss. See Note 2 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Liquidity

Funds generated by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, and our borrowing agreements are our most significant sources of liquidity. 

As of September 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $148.5 million, with $131.5, $6.6 and $10.4 million within the United States, Canada, and Europe, respectively.

The Company's borrowing agreements include $123.0 million 5.5% senior notes due December 2019 (Senior Term Notes) and a $200.0 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility that expires in June 2018. See Note 8 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

18




Uses of Cash

The Company has a capital allocation policy that focuses on three key principles. These principles focus on preserving a strong balance sheet and enhancing operating flexibility, preventing unnecessary dilution so the benefits of future value accrue to shareholders and deploying capital to the highest and best use by optimizing the tradeoff between risk and after-tax returns.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, cash provided by operating activities of $12.3 million decreased by $0.2 million compared to the prior comparable period, primarily due to timing of working capital changes.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, cash provided by operating activities of $12.5 million decreased by $4.1 million compared to the prior comparable period, primarily due to larger inventory build in the current period compared to the prior comparable period.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, cash used in investing activities of $9.6 million was for capital expenditures of $10.9 million, partly offset by a change in restricted cash of $1.1 million and cash proceeds from the sale of salon assets of $0.2 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, cash used in investing activities of $8.6 million was for capital expenditures of $8.6 million and a change in restricted cash of $0.7 million, partly offset by cash proceeds from the sale of salon assets of $0.7 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, cash used in financing activities of $1.1 million was for employee taxes paid for shares withheld. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, cash used in financing activities of $39.1 million was primarily for repurchases of common stock in accordance with the Company's capital allocation policy and employee taxes paid for shares withheld.

Financing Arrangements

See Note 8 of the Notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, for additional information regarding our financing arrangements.

Debt to Capitalization Ratio

Our debt to capitalization ratio, calculated as the principal amount of debt as a percentage of the principal amount of debt and shareholders’ equity at fiscal quarter end, were as follows:

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

The debt to capitalization ratio as of September 30, 2016 was flat as compared to June 30, 2016, primarily due to minimal changes in debt levels and total shareholders' equity during the three months ended September 30, 2016.


19



The basis point increase in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2016 compared to June 30, 2015 was primarily due to the repurchase of 7.6 million shares of common stock for $101.0 million.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors (Board) approved a stock repurchase program with no stated expiration date. Since that time and through September 30, 2016, the Board has authorized $450.0 million to be expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock under this program. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. The timing and amounts of any repurchases depends on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. At September 30, 2016, 18.4 million shares have been cumulatively repurchased for $390.0 million, and $60.0 million remained outstanding under the approved stock repurchase program.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act”), reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Interim Chief Financial Officer (Interim CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management, with the participation of the CEO and Interim CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-5(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period. Based on their evaluation, our CEO and Interim CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2016.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  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 consumer and wage and hour violations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the actions are being vigorously defended, the Company 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.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In May 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors (Board) approved a stock repurchase program with no stated expiration date. Since that time and through September 30, 2016, the Board has authorized $450.0 million to be expended for repurchase of the Company's stock under this program. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. The timing and amounts of any repurchases depend on many factors, including the market price of our common stock and overall market conditions. As of September 30, 2016, 18.4 million shares have been cumulatively repurchased for $390.0 million, and $60.0 million remained outstanding under the approved stock repurchase program.  

The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock through its share repurchase program during the three months ended September 30, 2016.
