Regis Corporation (NYSE: RGS), a leader in the haircare industry, whose primary business is franchising, owning and operating technology enabled hair salons, today reported a first quarter 2021 net loss from continuing operations of $35.3 million, or $0.98 loss per diluted share as compared to net loss from continuing operations of $14.2 million, or $0.39 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of 2020. The Company’s first quarter reported results included $7.3 million of discrete items. Excluding discrete items, the Company reported first quarter 2021 adjusted net loss of $27.9 million, or $0.78 loss per diluted share as compared to adjusted net income of $13.9 million, or $0.37 earnings per diluted share, for the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease in adjusted net income was driven primarily by the year-over-year decrease in the gain from the sale of salons to franchisees of $26.9 million due to lower proceeds per salon in the current year. The elimination of adjusted net income that had been generated in the prior year period from the 1,056 company-owned salons that were sold and converted to the Company’s asset-light franchise portfolio over the past twelve months also contributed to the decline, but this was partially offset by significant reductions in general and administrative expense and marketing. Additionally, the Company estimates it lost approximately $44 million in revenue due to reduced traffic and store closures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total revenue in the quarter of $111.4 million decreased $135.6 million, or 54.9%, year-over-year driven primarily by the conversion of a net 1,056 company-owned salons to the Company's asset-light franchise portfolio over the past 12 months and due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

First quarter adjusted EBITDA loss of $18.6 million decreased $48.4 million, versus the same period last year. Excluding the $0.7 million loss and $26.2 million adjusted gain from the sale of company-owned salons during the current and prior year quarter, respectively, adjusted EBITDA loss of $18.0 million was $21.5 million unfavorable versus the same period last year. This was driven primarily by the elimination of adjusted EBITDA that had been generated in the prior year period from the 1,056 company-owned salons that were sold and converted to the Company’s asset-light franchise portfolio over the past twelve months, partially offset by significant reductions in general and administrative expense and marketing spend.

Felipe Athayde, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Despite the uncertainty of current times, the opportunities for Regis today are very real. We have seen consistent high interest in the remaining salons left in our corporate portfolio, from potential investors who see the current environment as a great opportunity to build a portfolio of hair salons to serve as a platform for future consolidation and aggressive new unit growth. The hair salon industry in North America is highly fragmented, and is mostly in the hands of independent players. As such, times like these present a tremendous opportunity for salon chains to earn market share through brand differentiation through technology, marketing, and through advancement opportunities for our stylists.”

First quarter Franchise revenue was $64.0 million, a $8.5 million, or 11.7% decrease compared to the prior year quarter, and included franchise rental income of $32.3 million. Royalties and fees were $18.0 million, a $10.0 million, or 35.7% decrease versus the same period last year. Royalties and other franchise fees decreased $4.1 million due to a $6.6 million decrease due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in franchisees. Advertising fund fees decreased $5.9 million also due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Product sales to franchisees of $13.7 million increased $0.6 million versus the same period last year, also due to the increase in franchisees, partially offset by lower same-store retail sales due primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic. Franchise adjusted EBITDA of $7.0 million decreased $4.9 million, or 41.2% year-over-year primarily due to the decline in franchise same store sales of 31.9% primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Total franchised locations open at September 30, 2020 were 5,226 as compared to 4,456 at September 30, 2019.

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

First quarter revenue for the Company-owned salon segment decreased $127.1 million, or 72.8%, versus the prior year to $47.4 million. The year-over-year decline in revenue was driven by the decrease of a net 1,056 salons sold and converted to the Company's asset-light franchise portfolio over the past 12 months, the closure of a net 394 unprofitable salons over the past 12 months, and a decline in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Company-owned same-store sales decreased 34.8%, primarily driven by a 48.2% decrease in transactions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by a 13.4% increase in average ticket.

First quarter adjusted EBITDA decreased $22.2 million, or 192.9% versus the same period last year driven primarily by the elimination of EBITDA that had been generated in the prior year period from the 1,056 company-owned salons that were sold and converted to the Company's asset-light franchise portfolio over the past 12 months, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the decline in service and product margins, partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense and marketing spend.

Other Key Events

  • In October 2020, Felipe Athayde joined the Company as CEO and President to lead the Company as it enters its growth phase.
  • In August 2020, the Company launched its proprietary cloud-based salon management and point of commerce solution, OpenSalon Pro. As of today, several hundred salons have signed up or are already operating with OpenSalon Pro.
  • The Company continues to make meaningful progress on its multi-year strategy to convert to a fully-franchised model. During the quarter, it sold and transferred 137 company-owned salons to its asset-light franchise portfolio. The Company is still committed to converting to a fully-franchise capital-light business.

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 system-wide same-store sales are the sum of the system-wide same-store sales computed on a daily basis. Franchise salons that do not report daily sales are excluded from same-store sales. Locations relocated within a one-mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. System-wide same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation. TBG salons were not a franchise location in fiscal year 2021 so they are excluded from fiscal year 2020 same-store sales for comparability.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations:

We believe our presentation of non-GAAP operating loss, net (loss) income, net (loss) income per diluted share, and other non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful insight into our ongoing operating performance and an alternative perspective of our results of operations. Presentation of the non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our core ongoing operating performance from the same perspective as management and the Board of Directors. These non-GAAP financial measures provide investors an enhanced understanding of our operations, facilitate investors’ analyses and comparisons of our current and past results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of our future performance. We also believe the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information research analysts frequently use to analyze financial performance.

The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding U.S. GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP reconciling items for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within U.S. GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine which items to consider as “items impacting comparability” based on how management views our business, makes financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluates the Company’s ongoing performance. The following items have been excluded from our non-GAAP results:

  • Professional fees
  • Severance expense
  • CEO transition
  • TBG restructuring
  • Long-lived asset impairment
  • Asset retirement obligation
  • TBG discontinued operations
  • Lease termination fees
  • Benefit from lease liability decrease in excess of previously impaired ROUA ("Lease Liability Benefit")

Non-GAAP net (loss) income per share reflects the weighted average shares associated with non-GAAP net (loss) income, which includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. The earnings per share impact of the adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included additional shares for common stock equivalents of 0.9 million. The impact of the adjustments described above result in the impact of the common stock equivalents to be dilutive to the non-GAAP net income per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the impact of the adjustments described above resulted in a non-GAAP net loss, therefore, the impact of the common stock equivalents is not dilutive.

REGIS CORPORATION
Reconciliation of Reported U.S. GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP Financial Measure
(Dollars in thousands)
(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents U.S. GAAP net income (loss) for the respective period excluding interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA, as EBITDA excluding identified items impacting comparability for each respective period. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the items impacting comparability consisted of the items identified in the non-GAAP reconciling items for the respective periods. The impacts of the income tax provision adjustments associated with the above items are already included in the U.S. GAAP reported net income (loss) to EBITDA reconciliation, therefore there is no adjustment needed for the reconciliation from EBITDA to adjusted EBITDA.
