Regis Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2008 Results
Fourth Quarter Operational Earnings Meet Guidance
Regis Corporation (NYSE:RGS), the global leader in the $170 billion hair care industry, today reported fourth quarter net income of $23.1 million, or $0.54 per diluted share. Fourth quarter earnings included two non-operational items that were not contemplated in previous guidance. The first item relates to an incremental non-cash asset write-off of $4.5 million, on a pre-tax basis, associated with the planned closure of up to 160 underperforming salons which was announced in a press release issued July 9, 2008. The second item relates to a pre-tax $3.4 million benefit from an unplanned change in workers' compensation and other insurance reserve estimates. Absent these two items, fourth quarter earnings were $0.55 per diluted share which was at the low end of the Company's previously issued guidance.
On July 10, 2008, the Company reported revenues for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2008 of $709 million, compared to $675 million a year ago. Deconsolidation of the beauty schools and the European franchise salon operations reduced revenue in the quarter by approximately $31.5 million. Absent the impact of the school and European deconsolidation, consolidated revenues for the quarter would have increased 10.1 percent. Fourth quarter total same-store sales increased 0.6 percent, falling within the previously issued guidance of 0.5 to 2.5 percent. Same-store service sales in North America increased 3.3 percent during the fourth quarter.
"Our retail business remains a challenge and will continue to have issues for a year or two," commented Paul D. Finkelstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Service comps are a barometer as to the health of our business, as nearly seventy percent of our revenues come from services. Third and fourth quarter same-store service sales were the best we have reported in eight years. Regis is well positioned and I am more bullish today, for the long term, than I have been in over four years. We are in the quintessential replenishment business offering affordable services and products. Our strategy of moderately increasing service prices is working and we plan to continue this strategy for the next several years. However, in the near term, my optimism has to be moderated by the current state of the economy which is adversely impacting consumer related businesses. We are no exception, as our current quarter-to-date same-store sales are down slightly."
As of June 30, 2008, Regis Corporation owned, franchised or held ownership interests in 13,551 worldwide locations, a net increase of 102 units during the quarter and 1,135 units for the fiscal year.
Full-Year Results
For the full year, revenues totaled $2.7 billion, up 4 percent compared to $2.6 billion during fiscal year 2007. Deconsolidation of the beauty schools and the European franchise salon operations reduced fiscal year revenue by approximately $86.9 million. Absent the impact of the school and European deconsolidation, consolidated revenues for the year would have increased 7.8 percent. Same-store sales for the full year increased 0.5 percent. Net income was $85.2 million, or $1.95 per diluted share. Fiscal 2008 earnings results included several non-operational items which reduced earnings per diluted share by $0.04. Absent these items, fiscal year 2008 earnings were $1.99 per diluted share.
First Quarter 2009 Outlook
The following outlook pertains to the fiscal first quarter ending September 30, 2008:
- The Company's non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which excludes lease termination costs and costs associated with its Trade Secret transformation, is forecasted to be in a range of $0.41 to $0.47.
- Lease termination costs are expected to be spread across the first half of fiscal 2009, the timing of which is dependent on lease termination negotiations with third parties.
- The Company forecasts the cost of the Trade Secret transformation to be in a range of $0.03 to $0.05 per diluted share in the first quarter.
- Consolidated revenue is forecasted to grow four to six percent to a range of $695 million to $705 million, compared to $668 million a year ago. (Revenue growth of approximately seven to nine percent before deconsolidation of beauty schools and the European franchise salon operations.)
- Consolidated same-store sales are forecasted to be in a range of negative one percent to positive one percent.
Fiscal Year 2009 Outlook Remains Unchanged
The following outlook pertains to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009:
- Excluding accretion from future possible acquisitions, the Company's non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which excludes lease termination costs and costs associated with its Trade Secret transformation, is forecasted to be in a range of $2.03 to $2.29.
- Excluding revenue from future possible acquisitions, consolidated revenue is forecasted to grow four percent to $2.85 billion. (Revenue growth of approximately six percent before deconsolidation of beauty schools and the European franchise salon operations.)
- Consolidated same-store sales are forecasted to increase to a range of 0.5 to 2.5 percent.
- The effective income tax rate is forecasted to be in the high 37 percent range.

North American salon franchise royalties and fees represented 91.6 and 48.4 percent of total franchise revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 59.2 and 48.2 percent of total franchise revenues in the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
(2) On August 1, 2007, the Company contributed its 51 accredited cosmetology schools to Empire Education Group, Inc. Accordingly, revenue growth was negatively impacted as a result of the deconsolidation. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the results of operations for the month ended July 31, 2007 for the accredited cosmetology schools are reported in the North American salons segment. The Company retained ownership of its one North America and four United Kingdom Sassoon schools. Subsequent to August 1, 2007 results of operations for the Sassoon schools are included in the respective North American and international salon segments.
(3) On January 31, 2008, the Company deconsolidated the results of operations of its European franchise salon operations. Accordingly, revenue growth was negatively impacted as a result of the deconsolidation.
(4) Same-store sales increases or decreases are calculated on a daily basis as the total change in sales for company-owned locations which were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Annual same-store sales increases are the sum of the same-store sales increases computed on a daily basis. Relocated locations 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 so that foreign currency fluctuations do not impact the calculation. We began including hair restoration centers in same-store sales calculations beginning with the third fiscal quarter of 2007. Management believes that same-store sales, a component of organic growth, are useful in order to help determine the increase in salon revenues attributable to its organic growth (new salon construction and same-store sales growth) versus growth from acquisitions.

REGIS CORPORATION (NYSE: RGS)
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited)
The Company's press release announcing results of operations for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 includes references to the following "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
- Revenue results absent the impact of the deconsolidation of the 51 wholly owned accredited cosmetology schools (schools) and the European franchise salon operations. On August 1, 2007, the Company contributed the schools to Empire Education Group, Inc. (Empire), in exchange for a minority interest in Empire, and, on January 31, 2008, merged its European franchise salon operations with the Franck Provost Salon Group in exchange for a minority interest in Provalliance.
- Fourth quarter diluted net income per share from ongoing operations absent the impact of two non-operational items.
-- An incremental non-cash asset write-off of $4.5 million, on a pre-tax basis, associated with the planned closure of up to 160 underperforming salons
-- $3.4 million pre-tax benefit from an unplanned change in workers' compensation and other insurance reserve estimates
- Fiscal 2008 earnings results included several non-operational items which reduced earnings per diluted share by $0.04. Absent these items, fiscal year 2008 earnings were $1.99 per diluted share.
Non-GAAP Consolidated Revenues
On August 1, 2007, the Company contributed the schools to Empire, and the results of operations through July 31, 2007 were included in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company retained ownership of its one North American and four United Kingdom Vidal Sassoon schools.
On January 31, 2008, the Company merged its continental European franchise salon operations with the Franck Provost Salon Group. The results of operations through January 31, 2008 were included in the consolidated statement of operations.
The unaudited adjusted revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure (adjusted revenues), set forth below assume the deconsolidation of the schools as of July 31 for each respective three month and fiscal year periods presented, and exclude product sales to Empire for the periods presented. The unaudited adjusted revenues also assume the deconsolidation of the European franchise salon operations as of January 31 for each respective three month and fiscal year periods presented. Management believes this measurement is a meaningful presentation of the revenue growth of the Company's core salon and hair restoration businesses between the comparable periods, excluding the impact of deconsolidating the school business and the European franchise salon operations. If the Company had deconsolidated the schools and the European franchise salon operations on the dates assumed in the adjusted revenues, the Company might have performed differently. You should not rely on the adjusted revenues as an indication of the revenues that the Company would have achieved, had the deconsolidation of the schools and European franchise salon operations been completed at the dates indicated, or of the future revenues that the Company will achieve after the deconsolidation of the schools and the European franchise salon operations.
The adjusted revenues are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The unaudited adjusted revenues should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company.

Non-GAAP Diluted Net Income Per Share
The table below is provided to assist the reader's understanding of earnings for the three months and fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company believes that adjusted net income per diluted share from ongoing operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful basis to compare the Company's results against, because unusual items during the three months and fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 impacted the Company's reported net income (see "Adjustments" in table below). The presentation below reconciles as reported net income per diluted share (U.S. GAAP amounts) to adjusted net income per diluted share from ongoing operations. The adjusted net income per diluted share information should not be construed as an alternative to reported results under U.S. GAAP.
