MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regis Corporation (NYSE: RGS), a leader in the haircare industry, whose primary business is owning, operating and franchising hair salons, today reported results for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016 versus the prior year as noted below.
As a result of the Company's valuation allowance against most of its deferred tax assets, associated reported and, as adjusted, after-tax results of operations are not comparable to prior periods.
-
Sales of $442.6 million, a decline of ($11.4) million.
Same-store sales decreased (0.4)%.
- Same-store service sales increased 0.3% and same-store product sales decreased (3.5)%.
- Same-store sales increased 1.0% in North American Value salons, led by increases in Supercuts and SmartStyle of 2.9% and 1.7%, respectively.
- Franchise revenues grew 9.1%.
- GAAP operating income of $5.6 million compared to $5.4 million in the prior year quarter.
-
GAAP net loss of ($2.1) million or ($0.04) per diluted share.
- Includes ($0.13) per diluted share impact due to the deferred tax valuation allowance on income tax expense.
-
EBITDA, as adjusted, of $22.5 million compares to $22.9 million
in the prior year quarter.
- Decline of ($0.4) million mainly from minimum wage and inflation, increased healthcare costs, stylist productivity, planned strategic investments, same-store sales declines and retail promotions, partly offset by cost savings, lapping certain costs in the prior year quarter, lower self-insurance reserves, franchise growth and improved inventory management.
-
Diluted EPS, as adjusted, was ($0.06) compared to ($0.08) in the
prior year quarter.
- Excluding the impact of the deferred tax valuation allowance, Diluted EPS, as adjusted, improved $0.05 per share compared to the prior year quarter. Primary drivers of this improvement were lower depreciation, tax credits, and reduced shares outstanding.
- The current quarter GAAP net loss includes net discrete income of $1.0 million. The prior year quarter GAAP net loss includes net discrete expense of $0.2 million. See non-GAAP reconciliations.
Dan Hanrahan, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our third quarter performance consists of three different story lines. First, our North American Value business, representing approximately 85% of our total fleet, continues to demonstrate improvement. In this segment, we reported 100 basis points of same-store sales improvement for the quarter compared to a 30 basis point decline in the prior year quarter. Supercuts and SmartStyle, our two national brands representing more than 50% of our overall salon portfolio, posted combined same-store sales improvement of 220 basis points, compared to 70 basis points in the prior year quarter. These national brands have now achieved year-to-date combined same-store sales of 350 basis points, and reinforces how our key strategies are leading to improved execution. We also continued to grow our franchise base, posting quarter and year-to-date revenue gains of 9.1% and 8.3%, respectively. Our franchise business has enabled us to expand our Supercuts footprint and is contributing to revenue, cash flow and the Supercuts advertising fund. Our Supercuts national TV advertising program has positively impacted both our franchise and corporate Supercuts business.
“The second story line is in our mall business, comprised primarily of our North American Premium and MasterCuts businesses. We continue to face challenges in this portion of our business model and reported combined same-store sales declines of 600 basis points in the quarter. Our primary focus has been on turning the value business and our results indicate we have made good progress. We are now in the process of increasing our attention on the mall-based salons and will continue to implement strategies to address this smaller portion of the business.
“The third story line relates to our retail product business. While retail comps have improved 200 basis points year-to-date, they declined 350 basis points in the quarter. The consumer didn't respond as well as we had planned to our January and February promotion. While not the retail results we expected, we learned from it. We launched a new promotion in March and saw improved retail performance. The promotion was easier and more fun for stylists to engage guests to buy retail products and included a great incentive for service guests to buy product.”
Mr. Hanrahan concluded, “Improvements in our North American Value business are a direct result of our key strategies focused on Leadership Development, Technical Education and Asset Protection as we drive to make Regis the place where stylists can have successful and satisfying careers. We are transforming a culture comprised of 45,000 stylists, 7,000 salons, and over 1,000 field leaders and we are moving in the right direction. While the transformation and improvement will not be linear, it is essential to creating a great environment for stylists and growing guest traffic. We have work to do to drive sustainable growth in guest traffic which will enable us to realize the potential of each of our salons and result in long-term growth and shareholder value.”

Third Quarter Results:
Revenues. Revenue in the quarter of $442.6 million declined $11.4 million, or 2.5%, compared to the prior year quarter. Same-store sales decreased 0.4% compared to the prior year quarter. Management estimates the shift of Easter from April of last year to March of this year positively impacted same-store sales by approximately 40 basis points during the third quarter of the current year, and expects this impact to reverse in the upcoming fourth quarter.
Service revenues were $344.1 million, an $8.0 million, or 2.3%, decrease compared to the prior year quarter. During this period, same-store service sales increased 0.3%, driven by an increase in average ticket of 2.9%, partly offset by a decline in guest traffic of 2.6%. The offsetting 260 basis point decline in service revenues compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a net reduction of 223 salons and foreign currency.
Product revenues were $86.7 million, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 4.9%, compared to the prior year quarter. Product same-store sales for the quarter decreased 3.5%, driven by a decrease in average ticket of 4.5%, partly offset by a 1.0% increase in guest transactions. The additional 140 basis point decline in product revenues compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a net reduction of 223 salons and foreign currency.
Royalties and fees were $11.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 9.1% compared to the prior year quarter. Franchisees posted positive same-store sales during the quarter and the Company added 181 net franchised locations in the last twelve months.
Cost of Service and Product. Cost of service and product, as a percent of service and product revenues, increased 130 basis points to 60.4% when compared to the prior year quarter.
Cost of service as a percent of service revenues for the quarter increased 150 basis points versus the prior year quarter, to 63.1%. The primary drivers were higher health insurance costs, state minimum wage increases, stylist productivity, and Easter Sunday pay.
Cost of product as a percent of product revenues was 49.6%, an increase of 10 basis points, when compared to the prior year quarter. Higher promotional activity was partly offset by improved salon-level inventory management.
Site Operating Expenses. Site operating expenses of $42.9 million decreased $4.2 million compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of discrete items in the current and prior periods, site operating expenses decreased $4.5 million. This was primarily driven by a net reduction of 223 salons, lower self-insurance reserves, cost savings, lapping certain costs in the prior year quarter, and foreign currency.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses of $42.6 million decreased $1.5 million compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of discrete items in the current and prior periods, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.9 million compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was mainly due to lapping certain costs in the prior year quarter, cost savings and foreign currency, partly offset by planned strategic investments.
Rent. Rent expense of $74.4 million decreased $2.0 million compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily the result of a net reduction of 223 salons and foreign exchange, partly offset by rent inflation and lease termination costs.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $17.0 million compared to $19.0 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of $2.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to a net reduction of 223 salons.
Income Taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized income tax expense of $6.3 and $8.0 million, at effective tax rates of 149.2% and 227.3%, respectively.
The recorded tax expense and effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were different than what would normally be expected 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 the Company cannot recognize for reporting purposes. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 includes non-cash expense of $5.3 and $3.4 million, respectively, related to this matter. This non-cash impact will continue as long as the Company has a valuation allowance against most of its deferred tax assets and is expected to approximate $8.0 million of expense for the year ending June 30, 2016.
Equity in Affiliates. Income from equity method investments and affiliated companies was flat compared to loss of $0.3 million in the prior year quarter. The prior year loss of $0.3 million was comprised of the Company's portion of EEG's loss.
EBITDA, as Adjusted. EBITDA, as adjusted, which excludes the impact of equity in earnings of affiliated companies and discrete items in both periods, was $22.5 million, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the prior year quarter.
Discrete Items. Discrete items for the current quarter were $1.0
million of income, comprised of the following items:
Income:
- Prior years' self-insurance reserves adjustment of $0.4 million, net.
- Gain on life insurance proceeds of $1.2 million.
Expense:
- Legal fees of $0.4 million.
- Expenses associated with financing arrangements of $0.2 million.
Capital Allocation. During the third quarter, the Company repurchased 1.4 million shares for $20.0 million at an average price of $14.35 per share, excluding transaction costs. At March 31, 2016, approximately $64 million remained outstanding under the Company's existing share repurchase authorization.

(1) 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 and year-to-date 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.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
We believe our presentation of non-GAAP operating income (loss), net loss, net loss 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 both our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliation of the selected U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, which are located in the Investor Information section of the corporate website at www.regiscorp.com.
Non-GAAP reconciling items for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:
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:
- Self-insurance reserves adjustments.
- Gain on life insurance proceeds.
- Expense associated with legal cases.
- Professional fees.
- Expenses associated with financing arrangements.
- Deferred compensation adjustments.
- Establishment of deferred tax valuation allowances.
- Other than temporary impairment associated with our investment in Empire Education Group (EEG) and our portion of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance established by EEG.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded $6.3 and $5.0 million, respectively, of income tax expense. The presence of a valuation allowance, including the non-cash tax expense on certain indefinite-lived assets, affects comparability of income tax expense, as adjusted and will cause our effective tax rate to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company evaluated GAAP diluted EPS with and without the presence of the valuation allowance and calculated an impact of $0.13 per diluted share. Diluted EPS, as adjusted, without the presence of the valuation allowance, was $0.07 and $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, representing an improvement of $0.05 per diluted share. As a result of the valuation allowance, non-GAAP adjustments are not tax effected. | ||

Adjusted EBITDA |
| EBITDA represents U.S. GAAP net loss for the respective period excluding interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company defines EBITDA, as adjusted, as EBITDA excluding equity in loss of affiliated companies, and identified items impacting comparability for each respective period. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the items impacting comparability consisted of the items identified in the non-GAAP reconciling items for the respective periods. The impact of the income tax and interest adjustments associated with the above items is already included in the U.S. GAAP reported net loss to EBITDA reconciliation, therefore there is no adjustment needed for the reconciliation from EBITDA to EBITDA, as adjusted. The impact of the Company's portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance established by EEG and the impairment on the Company's investment in EEG are already included by excluding the impact of the Company’s equity in loss of affiliated companies, net of taxes, as reported. |
