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 March 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2021 and its consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity 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 accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do 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, 2020 and other documents filed or furnished with the SEC during the current fiscal year.

Impact of COVID-19 on Business Operations:

During the period ended March 31, 2021, the global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) had an adverse impact on operations, including prolonged government-mandated salon closures in California and Ontario, in addition to other U.S. states and Canadian provinces during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact salon guest visits resulting in a significant reduction in revenue and traffic. Due to the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company faces a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making judgments and estimates needed to apply the Company's significant accounting policies. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions.

Inventory:

The Company has inventory valuation reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, or other factors that may render inventories unmarketable at their historical costs. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $5.3 and $6.9 million of inventory excess and obsolescence charges, respectively. The increase in the reserve in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was related to management's decision to exit its product sales business and wind down operations at the Company's two distribution centers. The expense was recorded to Cost of product in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and is a non-cash add back to Net loss on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Salon Long-Lived Asset and Right of Use Asset Impairment Assessments:

The Company assesses impairment of long-lived salon assets and right of use (ROU) 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, when 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 the use of the assets. The first step is to assess recoverability, and in doing that, the undiscounted salon cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the salon 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 difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. The fair value of the salon long-lived asset group is estimated using market participant methods based on the best information available. See Note 10 of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion related to the ROU asset impairment.

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 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 the Company to realize material impairment charges.

Long-lived asset impairment charges, including ROU and salon property and equipment, of $0.8 and $9.8 million were recorded in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Of the total long-lived asset impairment charges, $0.3 and $6.3 million, respectively, were allocated to the ROU asset and $0.5 and $3.5 million, respectively, were allocated to salon property and equipment. Long-lived salon property and equipment asset impairment charges of $1.2 and $3.9 million were recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, and are recorded in Depreciation and amortization in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Goodwill:

As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the Franchise reporting unit had $229.2 and $227.5 million, respectively, of goodwill. For further information, see Note 9 of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company assesses goodwill impairment on an annual basis, during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter, and between annual assessments if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. An interim impairment analysis was not required in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in March 2020, was an interim triggering event in fiscal year 2020. The Company assessed its goodwill as of March 31, 2020 and determined that the Company-owned goodwill was fully impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $40.2 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020.

The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of April 30. For the fiscal year 2020 annual impairment assessment, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to forgo the optional Step 0 assessment and performed the quantitative impairment analysis on the Franchise reporting unit. The Company compared the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value. The result of the assessment indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 50 percent. For the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a combination of both a discounted cash flows approach and a market approach. The key assumptions utilized in the analysis were the number of salons to be sold to franchisees and the discount rate. If a future triggering event occurs or if during the Company's annual impairment assessment the fair value of the Franchise reporting unit has decreased significantly, it may result in a non-cash impairment charge that reduces the carrying value of goodwill.

Depreciation:

Depreciation expense in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 includes $0.8 and $3.4 million of asset retirement obligations, which are cash expenses.

Minority Interest:

In December 2020, the Company purchased its non-controlling interest in Roosters from the minority shareholders. The Company paid $0.6 million to obtain 100% ownership. The payment is recorded in cash used in financing activities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION:

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue:

Revenue recognized at point of sale

Company-owned salon revenues are recognized at the time when the services are provided. Product revenues for company-owned salons are recognized when the guest receives and pays for the merchandise. Revenues from purchases made with gift cards are also recorded when the guest takes possession of the merchandise or services are provided. Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability (deferred revenue) upon sale and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer. Gift card breakage, the amount of gift cards which will not be redeemed, is recognized proportional to redemptions using estimates based on historical redemption patterns. Product sales, including sales of the hardware related to our proprietary cloud-based management and point-of-sale commerce solution, to franchisees are included within product revenues in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and recorded at the time product is delivered to the franchisee. Payment for franchisee product revenue is generally collected within 30 to 90 days of delivery.

Revenue recognized over time

Franchise revenues primarily include royalties, advertising fund cooperatives fees, franchise fees and other fees. Royalty and advertising fund revenues represent sales-based royalties that are recognized in the period in which the sales occur. Generally, royalty and advertising fund revenue is billed and collected monthly in arrears. Advertising fund revenues and expenditures, which must be spent on marketing and related activities per the franchise agreements, are recorded on a gross basis within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The gross presentation increases both the reported franchise revenue and site operating expense and generally has no impact on operating income and net income. Franchise fees are billed and received upon the signing of the franchise agreement. Recognition of these fees is deferred until the salon opening and is then recognized over the term of the franchise agreement, typically ten years. Franchise rental income is a result of the Company signing leases on behalf of franchisees and entering into a sublease arrangement with the franchisee.

3. TBG RESTRUCTURING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

In October 2017, the Company sold substantially all of its mall-based salon business in North America, representing 858 salons, to The Beautiful Group (TBG). The Company classified the results of its mall-based business as discontinued operations in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Included in discontinued operations in fiscal year 2020 are adjustments to actuarial assumptions related to the discontinued operations. Other than the items presented in the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, there were no other significant non-cash operating activities or non-cash investing activities related to discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $0.1 and $2.4 million of professional fees and restructuring charges related to the Company assisting TBG with operating expenses to mitigate the risk of default associated with TBG's lease obligations. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, TBG transferred 207 of its North American mall-based salons to the Company. The 207 North American mall-based salons transferred were the salons that the Company was the guarantor of the lease obligation. As of March 31, 2021, prior to any mitigation efforts which may be available, the Company remains liable for up to approximately $12 million related to its mall-based salon lease commitments on the 62 salons that remain open, an $11 million reduction from June 30, 2020. The commitments are included in our lease liabilities.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The Company’s basic earnings per share is calculated as net loss divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding stock options (SOs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and stock-settled performance units (PSUs). The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated as net loss 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2021, there were 972,485 and 511,970, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 there were 663,636 and 1,145,053, respectively, common stock equivalents of dilutive common stock excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculations due to the net loss from continuing operations.

The computation of weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excluded 1,261,200 and 670,997 of stock-based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 2,240,743 and 174,698 of stock-based awards during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as they were not dilutive under the treasury stock method.

5. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

Stock-Based Employee Compensation:

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted various equity awards including RSUs, PSUs and SOs.

A summary of equity awards granted is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2021	Nine Months Ended March 31, 2021


Restricted stock units	47,303	891,825
Performance-based restricted stock units	—	62,290
Stock option units	—	1,458,680

The RSUs granted to employees during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 vest in equal amounts over a three-year period subsequent to the grant date, cliff vest after a one-year period, cliff vest after a three-year period or cliff vest after a five-year period subsequent to the grant date. The CEO, who was appointed in October 2020, was granted 0.4 million "sign-on" RSUs that vest pro-rated over one year.

The PSUs granted to employees have a three-year performance period ending June 30, 2023 linked to the Company's stock price reaching a specified volume weighted average closing price for a 50-day period that ends on June 30, 2023. The PSUs granted have a maximum vesting percentage of 200% based on the level of performance achieved for the respective award.

The SOs granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 were granted in connection with the appointment of the Company's CEO and consist of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The SOs are subject to both a four-year service-based vesting condition and a performance-based vesting condition. Additionally, 0.4 million SOs are matching options that vest on the fourth anniversary of employment up to the number of RSUs the CEO still holds of the "sign-on" RSUs.

Total compensation cost for stock-based payment arrangements totaling $1.7 and $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1.8 and $2.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was recorded within General and administrative expense on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In the nine months ended March 31, 2021, stock compensation includes a $2.4 million benefit from the forfeiture of awards related to the departure of the Company's former CEO.

Share Repurchases:

During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not repurchase shares under the previously approved stock repurchase program. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1.5 million shares for $26.4 million under a previously approved stock repurchase program. At March 31, 2021, $54.6 million remains outstanding under the approved stock repurchase program.

6. INCOME TAXES:

A summary of income tax benefits and corresponding effective tax rates is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2021			2020			2021			2020

	(Dollars in thousands)




Income tax benefit	$	333		$	979		$	1,368		$	5,783
Effective tax rate	3.0		%	1.4		%	1.7		%	5.5		%

The recorded tax provisions and effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were different than what would normally be expected primarily due to the impact of the deferred tax valuation allowance.

The Company is no longer subject to IRS examinations for years before 2014. Furthermore, with limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and international income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.

7. 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. The Company is a defendant in two wage and hour lawsuits in California. The first, a class action in US District Court, alleges various violations of the California Labor Code, including, but not limited to failure to pay wages, failure to permit rest breaks, failure to pay all wages due on termination of employment, waiting time penalties, failure to provide accurate wage statements and violation of the business and professions code. This case has been preliminarily settled, pending approval of the court and class, for $2.1 million. The second, a class action filed in California Superior Court, alleges various violations of the California Labor Code as well as PAGA penalties. Barring successful objection from plaintiffs’ attorneys to the first class action, the second case will be subsumed into the first case’s settlement. As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, $2.1 million was included within accrued expenses on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet related to these class action lawsuits. In addition, our existing point-of-sale system supplier has challenged the development of certain parts of our technology systems in litigation brought in the Northern District of California, case No. 20-cv-02181-MMC. We have vigorously denied the allegations made by this third-party supplier and have asserted certain counterclaims against the third party. However, the dispute regarding our ownership and involvement of certain key personnel may be costly and distracting, and the outcome is currently uncertain. The Company has not recorded an expense related to damages in connection with these matters because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.

8. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH:

The table below reconciles the cash and cash equivalents balances and restricted cash balances, recorded in other current assets from the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to the amount of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash flows:


	March 31, 2021		June 30, 2020

	(Dollars in thousands)

Cash and cash equivalents	$	34,510	$	113,667
Restricted cash, included in Other current assets (1)	5,859		9,213
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	40,369	$	122,880

_______________________________________________________________________________

(1)Restricted cash within Other current assets primarily relates to consolidated advertising cooperatives funds, which can only be used to settle obligations of the respective cooperatives and contractual obligations to collateralize the Company's self-insurance programs.

Goodwill, net at March 31, 2021	$	229,221

10. LEASES

At contract inception, the Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time. If the contract provides the Company the right to substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset, the Company considers it to be, or contain, a lease. The Company leases its company-owned salons and some of its corporate facilities under operating leases. The original terms of the salon leases range from 1 to 20 years with many leases renewable for an additional 5 to 10 year term at the option of the Company. In addition to the obligation to make fixed rental payments for the use of the salons, the Company also has variable lease payments that are based on sales levels. For most leases, the Company is required to pay real estate taxes and other occupancy expenses. Total Rent includes the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020		2021		2020

	(Dollars in thousands)

Minimum rent	$	8,400	$	13,571	$	28,605	$	48,638
Percentage rent based on sales	3		298		78		2,145
Real estate taxes and other expenses	1,989		3,672		7,147		9,842

Franchise segment non-reimbursable rent	101		176		1,063		767
Total	$	8,001	$	18,665	$	34,128	$	63,424

_______________________________________________________________________________

(1)During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company terminated the leases for 15 and 244 company-owned salons, respectively, before the lease end dates. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company terminated the leases for 3 and 60 company-owned salons, respectively, before the lease end dates. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, lease termination fees include $0.3 and $4.9 million, respectively, of early termination payments to close salons before the lease end date to relieve the Company of future lease obligations. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, lease termination fees also include $(0.5) and $1.5 million, respectively, of adjustments to accrue future lease payments for salons that are no longer operating. The early termination payments made in the nine months ended March 31, 2021 decreased the future minimum rent liability by $9.5 million plus saved the Company from the associated real estate taxes and other lease expenses.

(2)For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, upon termination of previously impaired leases, the Company derecognized ROU assets of $3.2 and $13.3 million, respectively, and lease liabilities of $5.2 and $19.7 million, respectively, that resulted in a net gain of $2.0 and $6.4 million, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized a benefit from lease liabilities decreasing in excess of previously impaired ROU assets. The benefit recognized was $1.0 and $4.9 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company leases salon premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with franchisees. All lease costs are passed through to the franchisees. The Company records the rental payments due from franchisees as franchise rental income and the corresponding amounts owed to landlords as franchise rent expense on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense were $31.3 and $31.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense were $95.9 and $96.9 million. These leases generally have lease terms of approximately 5 years. The Company expects to renew SmartStyle and Supercuts franchise leases upon expiration. Other leases are expected to be renewed by the franchisee upon expiration. This represents a Board-approved change in estimate that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 and was intended to reduce lease exposure. The change in estimate resulted in a decrease to lease liabilities and right of use assets of $72.9 million, with no impact to net income.

For franchise and company-owned salon operating leases, the lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date, including one lease term option when the lease is expected to be renewed. The ROU asset is initially and subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, less any accrued lease payments and unamortized lease incentives received, if any. The Company's consolidated ROU asset balance was $629.0 and $786.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. For leases classified as operating leases, expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including the lease renewal option when the lease is expected to be renewed. Generally, the non-lease components, such as real estate taxes and other occupancy expenses, are separate from rent expense within the lease and are not included in the measurement of the lease liability because these charges are variable.

The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the Company's estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot generally be determined. The Company uses the portfolio approach in applying the discount rate based on the original lease term. The weighted average remaining lease term was 6.44 and 6.87 years and the weighted average discount rate was 4.07% and 3.95% for all salon operating leases as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

A lessee’s ROU asset is subject to the same asset impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, applied to other elements of property, plant, and equipment. The Company has identified its asset groups at the individual salon level as this represents the lowest level that identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Poor salon performance, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in an ASC 360-10-35-21 triggering event. As a result, management assessed underperforming salon asset groups, which included the related ROU assets, for impairment in accordance with ASC 360.

The first step in the impairment test under ASC 360 is to determine whether the long-lived assets are recoverable, which is determined by comparing the net carrying value of the salon asset group to the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of that asset group. Estimating cash flows for purposes of the recoverability test is subjective and requires significant judgment. Estimated future cash flows used for the purposes of the recoverability test were based upon historical cash flows for the salons, adjusted for expected changes in future market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors. The period of time used to determine the estimates of the future cash flows for the recoverability test was based on the remaining useful life of the primary asset of the group, which was the ROU asset in all cases.

Step two of the long-lived asset impairment test requires that the fair value of the asset group be estimated when determining the amount of any impairment loss. For the salon asset groups that failed the recoverability test, an impairment loss was measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. The Company applied the fair value guidance within ASC 820-10 to determine the fair value of the asset group from the perspective of a market-participant considering, among other things, appropriate discount rates, multiple valuation techniques, the most advantageous market, and assumptions about the highest and best use of the asset group. To determine the fair value of the salon asset groups, the Company utilized market-participant assumptions rather than the Company’s own assumptions about how it intends to use the asset group. The significant judgments and assumptions utilized to determine the fair value of the salon asset groups include; the market rent of comparable properties based on recently negotiated leases as applicable, the asset group’s projected sales for properties with no recently negotiated leases, and a discount rate.

Assessing the long-lived assets for impairment requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment which can be affected by economic conditions and other factors that can be difficult to predict. The ultimate severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and therefore, if actual results are not consistent with the estimates and assumptions used in the calculations, the Company may be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material. In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a long-lived impairment charge of $0.8 and $9.8 million, respectively, which included $0.3 and $6.3 million, respectively, related to the right of use assets, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairments recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 were primarily the result of triggering events identified on certain underperforming salons, salons that were identified to close in the year, and certain salons where franchisees were unable to fulfill their rent obligations.

As of March 31, 2021, future operating lease commitments, including one renewal option for leases expected to be renewed, to be paid and received by the Company were as follows (in thousands):


Fiscal Year	Leases for Franchise Salons		Leases for Company-owned Salons		Corporate Leases		Total Operating Lease Payments		Sublease Income To Be Received From Franchisees		Net Rent Commitments

11. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS:

The Company’s long-term debt consists of the following:

Revolving Credit Facility


	Maturity Date	March 31, 2021	March 31, 2021		June 30, 2020

	(Fiscal Year)	(Interest rate %)	(Dollars in thousands)

Revolving credit facility	2023	5.00%	$	177,500	$	177,500

At March 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $34.5 million. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has $177.5 million of outstanding borrowings under a $295.0 million revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2021, the Company has outstanding standby letters of credit under the revolving credit facility of $18.7 million, primarily related to the Company's self-insurance program. The unused available credit under the facility was $98.8 million as of March 31, 2021. The Company's liquidity, which includes the unused available balance under the credit facility and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, totaled $133.3 million as of March 31, 2021. The revolving credit facility has a minimum liquidity covenant of $75.0 million. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $40.4 million and current liabilities of $203.2 million.

The Company is in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the financing arrangements as of March 31, 2021 and believes it will continue to be in compliance for at least one year from our filing date.

Sale and Leaseback Transaction

The Company’s long-term financing liabilities consists of the following:


	Maturity Date	Interest Rate	March 31, 2021		June 30, 2020

	(Fiscal Year)		(Dollars in thousands)

Financial liability - Salt Lake City Distribution Center	2034	3.30%	$	—	$	16,773
Financial liability - Chattanooga Distribution Center	2034	3.70%	—		11,208
Long- term financing liability			$	—	$	27,981

In fiscal year 2019, the Company sold its Salt Lake City and Chattanooga Distribution Centers to an unrelated party. At the time of the sale, the transactions were considered failed sale and leaseback transactions, as the Company had planned to lease the property for more than 75% of its economic life. The sale proceeds received from the buyer-lessor were recognized as a financial liability, which was reduced based on the rental payments made under the lease that were allocated between principal and interest. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, as a result of the Company exiting its wholesale product sales business, the Company informed the landlord of its intention to exit the leased spaces. Because the Company no longer plans to lease the distribution centers for the majority of the assets’ useful lives, these transactions are subsequently considered sale and leaseback transactions. As a result, the Company derecognized the financial liability of $28.5 million and the carrying value of the related assets of $13.6 million and recognized a gain of $14.9 million for the difference between the liability and asset. The gain on distribution centers was recorded to Interest income and other, net in the unaudited Condensed Consolidation Statement of Operations. As the leases for the two distribution centers meet the sale and leaseback criteria, the Company recognized a right of use asset and lease liability of $20.3 million on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2021.

12. 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 Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable, debt and long-term financial liabilities approximated their carrying values. The estimated fair values of the Company's debt and long-term financial liability are 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 these assets are determined, when applicable, based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables and discounted cash flow projections.

The following impairments were based on fair values using Level 3 inputs:

14. REVISION OF THIRD QUARTER 2020 UNAUDITED RESULTS:

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company identified an error in the calculation of the goodwill derecognition associated with the sale of salons to franchisees in the second quarter and third quarter. During the third quarter, goodwill derecognition was overstated by $2.4 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company fully impaired its remaining Company-owned goodwill with the amount of goodwill impairment being overstated by $4.4 million in the third quarter. The Company assessed the applicable guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and concluded these misstatements were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the aforementioned interim periods. However, to facilitate comparisons among periods, the Company has decided to revise its previously issued second and third quarter unaudited condensed consolidated financial information.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The Company revised the amounts originally reported for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 for the following items:

(1)Adjusted third quarter rent expense includes a $0.6 million benefit related to leases signed in the third quarter, but not identified until the fourth quarter. The net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 were both impacted by the misstatement.

(2)During the third quarter, goodwill derecognition was overstated by $2.4 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company impaired its remaining Company-owned goodwill, with the amount of goodwill impairment being overstated by $4.4 million. As the second quarter error which understated goodwill derecognition was not identified until the fourth quarter, goodwill impairment and loss from the sale of salons to franchisees, net were misstated in the third quarter. The Company recorded a $4.4 million decrease to goodwill impairment and a $2.4 million decrease to loss from the sale of salon assets to franchisees, net to correct the error. Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was not misstated. However, goodwill impairment and the loss from the sales of salons to franchisees, net were misstated in the nine months ended March 31, 2020, with goodwill impairment overstated by $4.4 million and loss from the sale of salons to franchisees, net understated by $4.4 million.

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 consolidated 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, 2020 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) franchises, owns, and operates beauty salons. As of March 31, 2021, the Company franchised, owned or held ownership interests in 6,221 worldwide locations. Our locations consisted of 6,143 system-wide North American and International salons, and in 78 locations we maintained a non-controlling ownership interest less than 100 percent. Each of the Company’s salon concepts generally offer similar salon products and services and serve the mass market. As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately 4,000 corporate employees worldwide.

Impact of COVID-19 on Business Operations

Merchandising Strategy

As part of the Company's transformation to focus on managing and nurturing brands, and in line with its capital-light business, a new merchandise strategy to outsource product distribution was adopted in the third quarter. The Company plans to shifts its product business from a whole-sale model to a third-party distribution model. Management expects the change will positively impact franchisees by providing them access to industry-leading pricing, loyalty programs, promotional benefits, educational assets, and ongoing support. The change will results in a decrease in revenue, cost of product and general and administrative expense going forward.

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, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Notes 1 and 2 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe the accounting policies related to the valuation of goodwill, the valuation and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, estimates used in relation to tax liabilities and deferred taxes 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, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our policies related to revenue recognition guidance, ASC Topic 606, can be found in Note 2 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Impact of salons sold to franchisees on operations.

In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold 126 and 408, respectively, company-owned salons to franchisees. The impact of these transactions are as follows:

System-wide results

As we continue to transition to an asset-light franchise platform, our results will be more impacted by our system-wide sales, which include sales by all points of distribution, whether owned by the Company or our franchisees. While we do not record sales by franchisees as revenue, and such sales are not included in our consolidated financial statements, we believe that this operating measure is important in obtaining an understanding of our financial performance. We believe system-wide sales information aids in understanding how we derive royalty revenue and in evaluating performance.

System-wide same-store sales by concept are detailed in the table below:


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020		2021		2020

SmartStyle	(19.6)	%	(9.5)	%	(28.7)	%	(4.8)	%
Supercuts	(22.3)		(3.7)		(29.9)		(1.4)
Portfolio Brands	(17.9)		(4.8)		(26.6)		(2.7)
Consolidated system-wide same store sales	(20.7)	%	(5.4)	%	(28.7)	%	(2.7)	%

_______________________________________________________________________________

(1)System-wide same-store sales are calculated as the total change in sales for system-wide franchise and company-owned locations for more than one year that were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly and year-to-date system-wide same-store sales are the sum of the system-wide same-store sales computed on a daily basis. Franchise salons that do not report daily sales are excluded from same-store sales. Locations relocated within a one-mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. System-wide same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain information derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared with Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2020

Consolidated Revenues

Consolidated revenues are primarily comprised of service and product revenues, as well as franchise royalties and fees, advertising and rental income.

Consolidated revenue decreased $53.5 and $293.6 million, or 34.8% and 48.2%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Service revenue and product revenue decreased $53.8 and $14.1 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and decreased $232.1 and $55.8 million, respectively, in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The decline in service and product revenue is primarily due to the Company's sale of salons to franchisees. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, 519 salons were sold to franchisees, net of buy backs and 833 and 35 system-wide salons were closed and constructed, respectively (2021 Net Salon Count Changes). For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the impact to consolidated revenue due to the sale of salons to franchisees and closure of salons was $44.9 and $214.0 million, respectively. System-wide sales also declined, primarily due to fewer guest visits and government-mandated closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, which also contributed to the decline in service, product and royalties and fees revenue. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company refunded $14.9 million of previously collected cooperative advertising fees, which reduced royalties and fees in the prior period.

Service Revenues

The decreases of $53.8 and $232.1 million, or 68.6% and 72.0%, in service revenues during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to the 2021 Net Salon Count Changes. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the impact to service revenue due to the sale of salons to franchisees and closure of salons was $35.0 and $172.5 million, respectively. The remaining decrease in service revenue relates primarily to fewer guest visits as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Product Revenues

The decreases of $14.1 and $55.8 million, or 40.4% and 44.9%, in product revenues during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to the 2021 Net Salon Count Changes. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the impact to product revenue due to the sale of salons to franchisees and closure of salons was $9.9 and $41.5 million, respectively. Additionally, franchise same-store product sales declined 20.0% and 24.2% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, contributing to the decline.

Royalties and Fees

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, royalties and fees increased $14.8 million, or 170.6%, primarily due to the Company refunding cooperative advertising fund contributions in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, royalties and fees decreased $4.7 million, or 7.1%, primarily due to a $1.5 million decline in cooperative advertising funds charged to franchisees during the nine months ended March 31, 2021. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, cooperative advertising funds were temporarily reduced as part of our COVID-19 pandemic relief effort and also declined due to lower same-store sales. The declines in cooperative advertising are offset in site expense and have no impact on operating income. Royalties and fees were also impacted by the decreases in franchise same-store sales of 19.3% and 27.6% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, partially offset by an increase in franchise salons. Total franchised locations open at March 31, 2021 were 5,317 as compared to 5,126 at March 31, 2020.

Franchise Rental Income

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, franchise rental income decreased $0.5 and $1.0 million, or 1.6% and 1.0%, respectively. The decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in rent considered uncollectible and to the change in the lease renewal assumption. The decrease in the nine months ended March 31, 2021 is due to the rental income from TBG salons included in fiscal year 2020 and an increase in rent considered uncollectible.

Cost of Service

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, cost of service as a percent of service revenues decreased 570 basis points, primarily due to payroll related COVID-19 relief tax credits. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, cost of service as a percent of service revenues increased 780 basis points, primarily due to inefficient and non-productive stylist hours as a result of reduced guest visits related to the COVID-19 pandemic and higher minimum wages.

Cost of Product

The 4,020 and 1,930 basis point increases in cost of product as a percent of product revenues during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to a $5.3 million reserve for excess and obsolete inventory related to the change in the Company's merchandising strategy and the shift from retail sales to franchise product sales. Excluding the excess and obsolescence reserve, margins on retail product sales were 37.4% and 47.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Margins on franchise product sales were 14.8% and 25.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Excluding the excess and obsolescence reserve, margins on retail product sales were 46.2% and 48.9% in the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Margins on franchise product sales were 19.3% and 23.1% in the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Decreases in franchise product margins were primarily driven by a shift to lower-margin customers and products.

Site Operating Expenses

Site operating expenses increased $9.7 million, or 265.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and decreased $25.9 million, or 41.3%, during the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Site operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were reduced by the refunding of $14.9 million of previously collected advertising fees in the prior period, as noted above in Royalties and fees. Excluding the refund, site operating expenses decreased due to a net reduction in salon counts and decreases in marketing spend. The decrease in site operating expenses during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to a net reduction in salon counts and decreases in marketing spend, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in cooperative advertising expense, as noted above in Royalties and fees.

General and Administrative

The decreases of $7.3 and $27.8 million, or 22.9% and 26.4%, in general and administrative (G&A) during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to lower administrative and field management salaries due to reductions in headcount as we align our cost structure with our transition to an asset-light franchise model. A benefit from the forfeiture of equity awards related to the departure of the Company's former CEO contributed $2.4 million to the decrease in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Additionally, $1.3 million of the decline in the nine months ended March 31, 2021 is due to the Company not holding its annual franchise convention in fiscal year 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rent

The decreases of $10.7 and $29.3 million, or 57.1% and 46.2%, in rent expense during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to the net reduction in the number of company-owned salons associated with the Company's transformation to a fully-franchised portfolio.

Franchise Rent Expense

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, franchise rent expense decreased $0.5 and $1.0 million, or 1.6% and 1.0%, respectively. The decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in rent considered uncollectible and the change in the lease renewal assumption. The decrease in the nine months ended March 31, 2021 is due to the rental income from TBG salons included in fiscal year 2020 and an increase in rent considered uncollectible.

Depreciation and Amortization

The decreases of $6.8 and $10.1 million, or 65.1% and 36.8%, in depreciation and amortization during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to the net reduction in company-owned salon counts. Additionally, salon asset impairment of $1.2 and $3.9 million were recorded to depreciation expense in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. Salon asset impairment in fiscal year 2021 was recorded to long-lived asset impairment.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $0.8 and $9.8 million, respectively, which included a right of use asset impairment charge of $0.3 and $6.3 million, respectively, and salon asset impairment of $0.5 and $3.5 million, respectively. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in fiscal year 2020, the Company had not recorded a right of use asset impairment charge.

TBG Mall Location Restructuring

In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $0.1 and $2.4 million, respectively, of TBG restructuring charges, which related to professional fees and the Company assisting TBG with operating expenses to mitigate the risk of default associated with TBG's lease obligations. See Note 3 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill Impairment

The Company recorded $40.2 million of goodwill impairment for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020. Management concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 was a triggering event requiring an assessment of the Company’s goodwill. The Company concluded the carrying value of the Company-owned reporting unit exceeded its fair value resulting in a full impairment.

Interest Expense

The increases of $1.5 and $6.0 million in interest expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to the increased interest rate and greater levels of debt.

Loss from sale of salon assets to franchisees, net

In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the loss from sale of salon assets to franchisees was $4.6 and $8.5 million, respectively. In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the loss from the sale of salon assets to franchisees was $7.9 and $26.1 million, respectively, including non-cash goodwill derecognition of $17.5 and $77.0 million, respectively. There was no goodwill derecognition in fiscal year 2021 due to the company-owned goodwill impairment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020.

Interest Income and Other, net

The increases of $15.0 and $12.4 million, respectively, in interest income and other, net during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 were primarily due to the gain associated with the leases for the Company's distribution centers (see Note 11 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), partially offset by the sale of the Company's headquarters recorded in the period ended December 31, 2019.

Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized tax benefits of $0.3 and $1.4 million, respectively, with corresponding effective tax rates of 3.0% and 1.7% as compared to recognizing tax benefits of $1.0 and $5.8 million, respectively, with corresponding effective tax rates of 1.4% and 5.5% during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020.

See Note 6 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income from Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations was $0.3 and $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, due to actuarial insurance reserve adjustments. Similar adjustments did not occur in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021.

Franchise Salon Revenues

Franchise salon revenues increased $12.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and decreased $9.9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in franchise salon revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the refund of previously collected contributions to the cooperative advertising funds in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. The decrease in franchise salon revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to decreases in royalties and cooperative fund contributions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, franchisees constructed (net of relocations) and closed 31 and 359 Franchise-owned salons, respectively, and purchased (net of Company buybacks) 519 salons from the Company during the same period.

Franchise Salon Operating Income

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, franchise salon operations generated operating income of $12.0 million, an increase of $0.9 million compared to the prior comparable period. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, franchise salon operations generated operating income of $28.7 million, a decrease of $4.7 million compared to the prior comparable period. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in franchise fees due to the increase in salon count. The decrease in the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the decrease in royalties due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total	(28.8)	%	(7.9)	%	(33.8)	%	(3.9)	%

Company-owned Salon Revenues

Company-owned salon revenues decreased $65.6 and $283.7 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the 2021 Net Salon Count Changes and a decline in sales as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Company-owned same-store sales decreased 28.8% and 33.8% during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, due primarily to decreases in same-store guest transactions.

Company-owned Salon Operating Loss

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, company-owned salon operating loss decreased $38.0 million to a loss of $12.6 million, and during the nine months ended March 31, 2021, company-owned salon operating loss increased $4.4 million to a loss of $50.7 million compared to the prior comparable period. The decrease in the loss during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the goodwill impairment of $40.2 million recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. The increase in the loss during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the overall decline in margin related primarily to COVID-19 and a $5.3 million inventory reserve charge recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, partially offset by the goodwill impairment recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020.

Corporate

Corporate Operating Loss

Corporate operating loss decreased $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily driven by lapping stock compensation benefits associated with a change in performance awards assumptions and executive departures in fiscal year 2020, as well as higher severance costs in fiscal year 2021. Corporate operating loss decreased $8.9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2021, primarily driven by lower general and administrative salaries due to lower headcount and the cancellation of the traditional in-person franchise convention in fiscal year 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Liquidity

Funds generated by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from sale of salon assets to franchisees, and our borrowing agreements are our most significant sources of liquidity.

As of March 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $34.5 million, with $32.0 and $2.5 million within the United States and Canada, respectively.

The Company's borrowing arrangements include a $295.0 million five-year revolving credit facility that expires in March 2023, of which $98.8 million was available as of March 31, 2021. The Company's liquidity, which includes the unused available balance under the credit facility and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, totaled $133.3 million as of March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the revolving credit facility has a minimum liquidity covenant of $75.0 million (see Note 11 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). In accordance with the credit agreement, beginning with periods ending June 30, 2021, the Company’s minimum liquidity calculation will be adjusted related to certain net cash proceeds generated from historical venditions. The Company expects that as of June 30, 2021, after using the vendition proceeds adjustment, the minimum liquidity covenant will change such that the unused available balance under the credit facility and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents be in the range of $53-$55 million.

On February 3, 2021, the Company filed a $150 million shelf registration and $50 million prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which it may offer and sell, from time to time, up to $50 million worth of its of its Class A common stock in “at-the-market offerings.” Net proceeds from sales of shares under the “at-the-market” program, if any, may be used to, among other things, fund working capital requirements, repay debt and support of our growth strategies. Such strategies may include positioning the Company for potential expansion through targeted industry acquisitions and alternatives to fund additional capital investment requirements related to potential partnership opportunities to facilitate continued growth of our proprietary technology, Opensalon® Pro. The timing and amount of sales of shares, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing market conditions, the trading price of shares, and other factors as determined by the Company. No shares have been issued under the shelf registration.

Uses of Cash

The Company closely manages its liquidity and capital resources. The Company's liquidity requirements depend on key variables, including the level of investment needed to support its business strategies, the performance of the business, capital expenditures, credit facilities and borrowing arrangements, and working capital management. Capital expenditures are a component of the Company's cash flow and capital management strategy, which can be adjusted in response to economic and other changes to the Company's business environment. The Company has a disciplined approach to capital allocation, which focuses on investing in key priorities to support the Company's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as its multi-year strategic plan as discussed within Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $80.0 million. Cash used in operations increased due to lower revenues and margins, payments of $14.0 million to catch up on payables related to fiscal year 2020, and the CEO sign-on bonus of $2.5 million, partially offset by the elimination of certain general and administrative costs and a $0.8 million COVID-19 payroll relief payment from the Canadian government received in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in investing activities of $0.9 million was primarily capital expenditures of $9.6 million, of which approximately $3.0 million was internally developed capitalized software, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of salon assets of $7.7 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in financing activities was $1.6 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $152.1 million in the prior comparable period. In the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company borrowed a net $183.0 million and used $28.2 million to purchase common stock.

Financing Arrangements

See Note 11 of the Notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, 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, was as follows:


As of	Debt to Capitalization (1)		Basis Point Increase (Decrease) (2)

March 31, 2021	78.2	%	1,620
June 30, 2020	62.0	%	3,520

(1)Debt includes long-term debt and financing liabilities. It excludes long-term lease liability as that liability is offset by the right of use asset.

(2)Represents the basis point change in debt to capitalization as compared to the prior fiscal year end (June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively).

The 1,620 basis point increase in the debt to capitalization ratio as of March 31, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2020, was primarily due to the decreases in shareholders' equity as a result of the loss from operations, partially offset by the decrease in debt as a result of the derecognition of the Company's financing lease liability (see Note 11 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

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 March 31, 2021, the Board has authorized $650.0 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 depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of March 31, 2021, 30.0 million shares have been cumulatively repurchased for $595.4 million, and $54.6 million remains outstanding under the approved stock repurchase program.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. There has been no material change to the factors discussed within Part II, Item 7A in the Company’s June 30, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period. Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2021.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no material 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. Our existing point-of-sale system supplier has challenged the development of certain parts of our technology systems (See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and similar to 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, 2020, except for the revision to the thirty-third risk factor listed below and the addition of the last risk factor listed below.

We rely on our management team and other key personnel.

We depend on the skills, working relationships, and continued services of key personnel, including our management team and others throughout our organization. We are also dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, for whom we compete with other companies both inside and outside our industry. Our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely impacted by the unexpected loss of any of our management team or other key personnel, or more generally if we fail to identify, recruit, train and/or retain talented personnel. Effective October 5, 2020, our new Chief Executive Officer commenced his employment as part of a leadership transition. Any transition in senior executive leadership can impact relationships with our suppliers, franchisees, and employees and can lead to shifts in our operations.

We adopted a new merchandising strategy under which the Company will outsource product distribution to third-party distributors.

The Company is in the process of implementing our new merchandising strategy where we will exit the product distribution business and outsource distribution to third-party distributors.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to rely upon third-party distributors to procure and deliver beauty products in quantities sufficient to meet the needs of our customers. Any material delay in the delivery of beauty products, and/or any reduction to, or material change in, the assortment of beauty products supplied to our salons could result in reduced retail sales and service offerings. In addition, disruptions and delays in the beauty supply chain, as a result of COVID-19 or otherwise, could adversely impact the third-party distributors’ abilities to meet our customer demands, which could negatively impact our business and operating results.

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