Regis Corporation (NYSE: RGS), a leader in the haircare industry, whose primary business is owning, operating and franchising hair salons, today reported fourth quarter 2018 net income from continuing operations of $7.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share as compared to $4.2 million or $0.09 in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company's reported results include a net $1.4 million of one-time pre-tax costs associated with the restructuring of the Company's SmartStyle® salon portfolio and a net $2.1 million of other pre-tax discrete costs. Excluding discrete items, and the losses from discontinued operations, the Company reported fourth quarter 2018 adjusted net income of $10.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share as compared to $11.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share for the same period last year. The year-over-year decline in adjusted net income was driven primarily by the impact of the valuation allowance that previously existed against most of the Company's deferred tax assets in place during last year's fourth quarter. Normalizing the adjusted income tax rates, and valuation allowance, in both the current and prior year periods to 25%, this year's fourth quarter adjusted net income increased $4.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share when compared to the same period last year.

Total revenue in the quarter of $294.9 million decreased $26.0 million, or 8.1%, year-over-year driven primarily by the closure of a net 701 salons and the conversion of 448 company-owned salons to franchised locations, partially offset by positive same-store sales comps of 0.7%. Management estimates the shift of the Easter holiday, from fourth quarter last year to third quarter this year, negatively impacted fourth quarter 2018 same-store sales comps by approximately 90 basis points.

Fourth quarter 2018 EBITDA of $25.7 million increased $6.7 million versus the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, the Company's fourth quarter EBITDA margin rate of 8.7% compares to 5.9% in the fourth quarter last year. Fourth quarter 2018 adjusted EBITDA of $31.2 million was 10.6% of adjusted sales and was $1.8 million, or 6.1% favorable year-over-year. Last year's fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA margin rate was 9.2%.

On a full year basis, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $61.9 million, or $1.32 per diluted share as compared to net loss from continuing operations of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, net income from continuing operations was $27.9 million, an increase of $10.6 million year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA of $94.1 million increased $6.9 million, or 7.9% versus the same period last year.

Hugh Sawyer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Although we have more work to do, we are pleased to report signs of progress in our financial performance and ongoing transformation efforts."

Company-owned salon fourth quarter 2018 revenue, as adjusted, decreased 12.1% versus the prior year to $263.4 million. The year-over-year decline was driven primarily by the closure of unprofitable salons and the sale of Company-owned salons to franchisees. The year-over-year decline was partially offset by an increase in same-store sales of 0.7% driven by a 4.4% increase in average ticket, partially offset by a 3.7% decrease in traffic.

Fourth quarter 2018 adjusted EBITDA of $38.2 million was essentially flat versus the same period last year driven primarily by salon-level compensation changes, strategic marketing and advertising investments, the prior year inclusion of a more favorable self-insurance reserve adjustment, and the sale of 448 company-owned salons to franchisees, partially offset by the closing of unprofitable salons, improved variable labor management, management initiatives, and same-store sales comp increases. The EBITDA margin rate of the Company-owned salon segment of 14.5% increased 170 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of last year.

Fourth quarter 2018 Franchise revenue was $31.5 million, a $10.2 million, or 47.6% increase compared to the prior year quarter. Royalties and fees were $15.5 million, a $2.3 million, or 17.3% increase versus the same period last year. Royalties increased 13.1% driven primarily by positive same-store revenue and increased franchise salon counts. Initial franchise fees increased 40.5% as the Company opened, or converted, a net 165 franchised locations in the quarter as compared to 113 in the prior year quarter. Product sales to franchisees were $16.0 million, an increase of $7.9 million. Product sales to The Beautiful Group accounted for $6.2 million of this year-over-year sales increase.

Franchise adjusted EBITDA of $11.9 million improved $2.4 million, or 25.3% year-over-year. The Franchise EBITDA margin rate of 37.9% was negatively impacted by roughly 820 basis points due to the low margin rate of product sales to The Beautiful Group in accordance with the terms of our transaction agreements. Removing the dilutive impact of these sales, EBITDA margin rates in the Franchise segment of 46.1% improved 150 basis points when compared to the fourth quarter of last year.

Other Company Updates

Consolidated Year-Over-Year General & Administrative ("G&A") Comparability
The Company announced a realignment of its field leadership team by brand during the first fiscal quarter of 2018. An outcome of this reorganization is that the costs associated with senior district leaders have been moved out of cost of goods sold and site operating expense, where the expense has historically been recorded, and into G&A. The Company notes that this change does not impact the overall consolidated results but does result in an $8.6 million decrease in cost of goods sold and site expense, and a corresponding $8.6 million increase to G&A during the fourth quarter of 2018, when compared to the comparable period last year. On a fiscal 2018 full year basis, this reclassification of expenses decreased cost of goods sold and site expense by $32.3 million and had a corresponding increase to G&A expense versus the same period last year.

Transformational Strategy Update
The Company continued to make progress implementing its multi-year transformational strategy and operational turnaround focused on improving the performance of Company-owned salons, while at the same time selectively expanding its franchise portfolio where it supports the Company's strategic transformation and maximizes shareholder value. During the quarter, the Company:

  • Repurchased 883,000 common shares at a total price of $15.2 million. In August 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional $200 million for share repurchases.
  • Converted 144 Company-owned salons to franchise locations.
  • Announced it would consider franchising the remaining Company-owned Supercuts salons where it facilitated strategic and financial objectives.
  • Executed a number of operational initiatives to stabilize performance and establish a platform for longer-term revenue and earnings growth in Company-owned salons. The Company estimates the initiatives delivered a benefit in a range of $5.0 million to $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
  • Announced the addition of two key members of the Executive team. Chad Kapadia was named Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer, and Head of Product Engineering and Laura Alexander was promoted to the role of Senior Vice President, Merchandise.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

We believe our presentation of non-GAAP operating income, net income, net 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 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 twelve months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

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:

  • SmartStyle restructuring discounting and costs.
  • Salon tools write-off.
  • Severance expense for former executive officers.
  • Professional fees.
  • Executive transition costs.
  • Gain on life insurance proceeds.
  • Legal fees.
  • Debt refinancing.
  • Goodwill derecognition.
  • Impact of tax reform.
  • Discontinued operations.

The non-GAAP tax provision adjustments related to the amounts excluded from our non-GAAP results are due to the change in non-GAAP taxable income as compared to U.S. GAAP taxable income or loss, resulting from the non-GAAP reconciling items addressed herein. The non-GAAP tax provision adjustments are made to reflect the year-to-date non-GAAP tax rate for each period. The non-GAAP weighted average shares adjustments are due to the change in non-GAAP net income as compared to the U.S. GAAP net income or loss, resulting from the non-GAAP reconciling items addressed herein. Non-GAAP net income per share reflects the weighted average shares associated with non-GAAP net income, which may include the dilutive effect of common stock.

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 and twelve months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the items impacting comparability consisted of the items identified in the non-GAAP reconciling items for the respective periods. The impacts of the debt refinancing, income tax provision adjustments associated with the above items, impact of tax reform and the SmartStyle restructuring costs included within depreciation and amortization 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.
