Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Regis Corporation
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Regis Corporation (a Minnesota corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical audit matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
/s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Description:
Regis Corporation franchises and owns hair care salons, primarily in North America. The business is evaluated in two segments, franchise salons and company-owned salons. Franchise salons in operation decreased from 4,795 at June 30, 2023 to 4,391 at June 30, 2024, primarily due to the closure of 429 salons. Company-owned salons in operation decreased from 68 at June 30, 2023 to 17 at June 30, 2024, primarily due to the closure of 41 salons. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Salons are located in leased space in strip center locations, malls or Walmart.
COVID-19 Impact:
The global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) had an adverse impact on operations. As a result, the Company received Canadian rent relief, Canadian wage relief and a grant from the state of North Carolina. In fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company received the following assistance:
Fiscal Years

Financial Statement Caption (Dollars in thousands)
Canadian rent relief Rent $ — $ — $ 1,235
Canadian wage relief Company-owned salon expense — — 1,966
North Carolina COVID-19 grant Other, net — 1,106 —
Additionally, in both December 2022 and December 2021, the Company paid $ 2.5 million of social security contributions that had been deferred under the CARES Act.
Consolidation:
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. All material subsidiaries are wholly owned. The Company consolidates variable interest entities where it has determined it is the primary beneficiary of those entities' operations.
Variable Interest Entities :
The Company has interests in certain privately held entities through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. Such entities, known as variable interest entities (VIE), are required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary for each VIE using a qualitative assessment that considers the VIE's purpose and design, the involvement of each of the interest holders and the risk and benefits of the VIE. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has no VIE's where the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The Company previously held an investment in Empire Education Group, Inc. (EEG). On May 2, 2024, the Company sold its interest in EEG to the other shareholder. The sale did not have a significant impact on the Company's operations or financial position. When the Company held a majority ownership interest in EEG it was a co-signatory to the Title IV program participation agreements of the EEG schools with the Department of Education. As a co-signatory to the Title IV program participation agreements, the Department of Education could hold the Company responsible for EEG's Title IV program liabilities. In connection with the sale, Regis is no longer a co-signatory to the Title IV program participation agreements of the EEG schools with the Department of Education.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:
Cash equivalents consist of investments in short-term, highly liquid securities having original maturities of three months or less, which are made as a part of the Company's cash management activity. The carrying values of these assets approximate their fair market values. The Company primarily utilizes a cash management system with a series of separate accounts consisting of lockbox accounts for receiving cash, concentration accounts that funds are moved to, and several "zero balance" disbursement accounts for funding of payroll and accounts payable. As a result of the Company's cash management system, checks issued, but not presented to the banks for payment, may create negative book cash balances. There were no checks outstanding in excess of related book cash balances at June 30, 2024, and 2023.
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. The self-insurance restricted cash arrangement can be canceled by the Company at any time if substituted with letters of credit. The table below reconciles the cash and cash equivalents balances and restricted cash balances, recorded within other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the amount of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
June 30,
2024 2023
(Dollars in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,066 $ 9,508
Restricted cash, included in other current assets (1) 19,246 11,888
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 29,312 $ 21,396
_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) The increase in restricted cash in fiscal year 2024 is related to temporarily cash collateralizing the letters of credit as the Company transitioned to the new lender.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses:
The receivable balance on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily includes accounts and notes receivable from franchisees, credit card receivables and receivables related to salons sold to franchisees. The balance is presented net of an allowance for credit losses (i.e., doubtful accounts), related to receivables from the Company's franchisees. The Company monitors the financial condition of its franchisees and records provisions for estimated losses on receivables when it believes franchisees are unable to make their required payments based on factors such as delinquencies and aging trends. The allowance for credit losses is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to existing accounts and notes receivables. As of June 30, 2024, and 2023, the allowance for credit losses was $ 6.2 million and $ 7.3 million, respectively. The allowance for credit losses decreased in fiscal year 2024 due to the write-off of past due receivables previously reserved for related to underperforming franchise salons. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inventories:
Inventories of finished goods consist principally of hair care products for retail product sales. A portion of inventories are also used for salon services consisting of hair color, hair care products including shampoo and conditioner and hair care treatments including permanents, neutralizers, and relaxers. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a weighted average cost basis.
The Company has inventory valuation reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, or other factors that may render inventories unmarketable at their historical costs. In fiscal year 2021, the Company announced it would transition away from its wholesale product distribution model in favor of a third-party distribution model. As a result, the Company exited its two distribution centers in fiscal year 2022 and previously stored inventory at a third-party facility through the second of quarter fiscal year 2024. To facilitate the exit of the distribution centers, the Company sold inventory at discounts. Additionally, the reduction in company-owned salons decreased the Company's ability to redistribute inventory from closed locations to other salons to be sold or used. The inventory valuation reserve as of June 30, 2024, and 2023 was $ 0.3 million and $ 1.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had inventory related to discontinued operations of $ 1.2 million, offset by a reserve of $ 1.2 million. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. During fiscal year 2023, the Company recorded a total inventory reserve charge of $ 1.2 million, which was recorded in inventory reserve in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During fiscal year 2022, the Company recorded a total inventory reserve charge of $ 10.5 million, of which $ 7.7 million and $ 2.8 million were recorded in inventory reserve and company-owned salon expense, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Inventory of $ 0.8 million and $ 1.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, is included in Current Assets, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful asset lives (i.e., 10 years or lease life for improvements and three to 10 years or lease life for equipment, furniture, and software). Depreciation expense was $ 3.7 million, $ 7.4 million, and $ 5.8 million in fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Depreciation expense for fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 includes $ 0.5 million, $ 0.5 million, and $ 1.0 million of asset retirement obligations, respectively, which are cash expenses.
The Company capitalizes both internal and external costs of developing or obtaining computer software for internal use. Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development stage are capitalized, while data conversion, training and maintenance costs associated with internal-use software are expensed as incurred. Estimated useful lives range from three to seven years .
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals and betterments, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed. All other expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. The assets and related depreciation and amortization accounts are adjusted for property retirements and disposals with the resulting gain or loss included in operating income (loss). Fully depreciated or amortized assets remain in the accounts until retired from service.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Right of Use Asset, Lease Liabilities and Rent Expense:
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 one to 11 years with many leases renewable for an additional five 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.
The Company leases salon premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with franchisees. All lease-related costs are passed through to 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations.
All the Company's leases are 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 right of use (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. 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.
Certain leases provide for contingent rents that are determined as a percentage of revenues in excess of specified levels. The Company records a contingent rent liability in accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, along with the corresponding rent expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, when specified levels have been achieved or when management determines that achieving the specified levels during the fiscal year is probable.

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 in fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 resulted in ASC 360-10-35-21 triggering events. As a result, management assessed underperforming salon asset groups, which included the related ROU assets, for impairment in accordance with ASC 360.
The Company assesses impairment of long-lived salon assets and 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 our use of the assets.
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 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.
The second step 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 and a discount rate. The fair value of the salon long-lived asset group is estimated using market participant methods based on the best information available. The fair value of the ROU asset is estimated by determining what a market participant would pay over the life of the primary asset in the group, discounted back to June 30, 2024.
During fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of $ 0.8 million, $ 0.1 million, and $ 0.5 million, respectively, related to ROU assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment loss for each salon asset group that was recognized was allocated among the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using their relative carrying amounts. Additionally, the impairment losses did not reduce the carrying amount of an individual asset below its fair value, including the ROU assets included in the salon asset groups. 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 Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions it uses to calculate impairment losses for its long-lived assets, including its ROU assets. 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. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill:
As of June 30, 2024, and 2023, the franchise reporting unit had $ 173.1 million and $ 173.8 million, respectively, of goodwill and the company-owned reporting unit had no goodwill for both periods. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for changes to the goodwill balance. The Company assesses goodwill impairment on an annual basis as of April 30, 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.
Goodwill impairment assessments are performed at the reporting unit level, which is the same as the Company's operating segments. The goodwill assessment involves a one-step comparison of the reporting unit's fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill (Step 1). If the reporting unit's fair value exceeds its carrying value, no further procedures are required. However, if the reporting unit's fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the reporting unit.
In applying the goodwill impairment assessment, the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units was less than its carrying value (Step 0). Qualitative factors could include, but are not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, cost factors and overall financial performance of the reporting unit. If after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determined it is more likely than not that the carrying value is less than the fair value, then performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment assessment is unnecessary.
The carrying value of each reporting unit is based on the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the reporting unit, including allocation of shared or corporate balances among reporting units. Allocations are generally based on the number of salons in each reporting unit as a percent of total salons or expenses of the reporting unit as a percent of total company expenses.
The Company calculates estimated fair values of the reporting units based on discounted cash flows utilizing estimates in annual revenue, fixed expense rates, allocated corporate overhead, franchise and company-owned salon counts, and long-term growth rates for determining terminal value. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are used in conjunction with the results of the discounted cash flows. The Company engages third-party valuation consultants to assist in evaluating the Company's estimated fair value calculations.
The following is a description of the goodwill impairment assessments for each of the fiscal years:
Fiscal 2024
The Company determined a triggering event occurred related to a decrease in the Company's stock price, resulting in a quantitative impairment test performed over goodwill. Accordingly, the Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to perform an impairment analysis on the franchise reporting unit of the business as of November 30, 2023. For the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a combination of both a discounted cash flows approach and market approach to evaluate the franchise reporting unit. The discounted cash flows model reflects management's assumptions regarding discount rates, revenue growth rates, economic and market trends, cost structure, and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results. These assumptions are inherently uncertain. An increase in the discount rate or a decrease in revenue growth rate or market trends would have a negative impact on the fair value of the reporting unit which could be material. As a result of the impairment testing, the franchise reporting unit was determined to have a fair value in excess of its carrying value, resulting in no goodwill impairment charge.
The Company performed its annual impairment assessment as of April 30. For the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a combination of both a discounted cash flows approach and market approach to evaluate the franchise reporting unit. The discounted cash flows model reflects management's assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, economic and market trends, cost structure, and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results. The results of this assessment indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company's franchise reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.
Fiscal 2023
During fiscal year 2023, the Company did not experience any triggering events that required an interim goodwill analysis. The Company performed its annual impairment assessment as of April 30. For the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a combination of both a discounted cash flows approach and market approach to evaluate the franchise reporting unit. The discounted cash flows model reflects management's assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, economic and market trends, cost structure, and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results. The discount rate of 17.0 % was also a key assumption utilized in the discounted cash flows. The results of this assessment indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company's franchise reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

Fiscal 2022
During fiscal year 2022, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test over goodwill during the second quarter due to a triggering event experienced in the quarter. This determination was made considering the sustained decrease in share price and a change in the Company's chief operating decision maker. In the second quarter, the franchise reporting unit was determined to have a fair value in excess of its carrying value and no impairment was recorded. A quantitative goodwill impairment was performed in the third quarter due to a triggering event experienced during the quarter. This determination was made considering a decrease in forecasted revenue due to slower than expected recovery from COVID-19. In the third quarter, the franchise reporting unit was determined to have a carrying value in excess of its fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $ 16.0 million.
The Company performed its annual impairment assessment as of April 30. For the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a combination of both a discounted cash flows approach and market approach to evaluate the franchise reporting unit. The discounted cash flows model reflects management's assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, economic and market trends, cost structure, and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results. Management's assumptions related to revenue growth rates were reduced and management increased expected salon closures compared to valuations in prior years. These changes, along with a decline in value from the market approach, reduced the fair value of the reporting unit. The discount rate of 20.0 % was also a key assumption utilized in the discounted cash flows. As a result of the impairment testing, the franchise reporting unit was determined to have a fair value in excess of its carrying value.
The Company derecognized $ 38.4 million of goodwill in fiscal year 2022 in connection to the sale of OSP. The $ 38.4 million represents the portion of goodwill related to the OSP business based on relative fair value. See Notes 3 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Reverse Stock Split:
On November 29, 2023, the Company effected a one-for-20 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, par value $ 0.05 per share. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 20 shares of common stock issued and outstanding was converted into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split affected all shareholders uniformly and did not alter any shareholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of common stock were instead entitled to receive a proportional cash payment. All common share and per share amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
The reverse stock split affected all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s outstanding stock options and stock unit awards. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding and the vesting of stock unit awards outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split and correspondingly increased the respective exercise prices or other price dependent terms.
Tax Benefits Preservation Plan:
On January 28, 2024, the Board authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (a Right) for each outstanding share of common stock. The dividend was payable on February 9, 2024 (the Record Date) to the holders of record of shares of common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the Plan), dated as of January 29, 2024, as the same may be amended from time to time between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, as Rights Agent.
Self-Insurance Accruals:
The Company uses a combination of third-party insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks including workers' compensation, health insurance, employment practice liability, and general liability claims. The liability represents the Company's estimate of the undiscounted ultimate cost of uninsured claims incurred as of the Consolidated Balance Sheets date.
The Company estimates self-insurance liabilities using a number of factors, primarily based on independent third-party actuarially determined amounts, historical claims experience, estimates of incurred but not reported claims, demographic factors, and severity factors.
59
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Although the Company does not expect the amounts ultimately paid to differ significantly from the estimates, self-insurance accruals could be affected if future claims experience differs significantly from historical trends and actuarial assumptions. For fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded decreases in expense for changes in estimates related to prior year open policy periods of $ 0.9 million, $ 1.4 million, and $ 0.5 million, respectively. The Company updates loss projections bi-annually and adjusts its liability to reflect updated projections. The updated loss projections consider new claims and developments associated with existing claims for each open policy period. As certain claims can take years to settle, the Company has multiple policy periods open at any point in time.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $ 1.7 million and $ 4.7 million recorded in current liabilities and non-current liabilities, respectively, related to the Company's workers' compensation and general liability self-insurance accruals. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $ 3.6 million and $ 7.3 million recorded in current liabilities and non-current liabilities, respectively, related to the Company's workers' compensation and general liability self-insurance accruals.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue:
Franchise revenues primarily include royalties, fees, product sales to franchisees, and advertising fund fees. Royalties and advertising fund revenues represent sales-based royalties that are recognized as revenue in the period in which the sales occur. The Company defers franchise fees until the salon is open and then recognizes the revenue over the term of the franchise agreement. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Product sales by the Company to its franchisees are recorded at the time product is delivered to franchise locations. Company-owned salon revenues are recognized at the time when the services are provided, or the guest receives and pays for merchandise.
Classification of Revenue and Expenses:
Below is a summary of the primary financial statement captions.
Royalties - Sales-based royalty received from franchisees.
Fees - Fees received from franchisees and third parties, including franchise fees and fees received from the third-party distributor.
Product sales to franchisees - Wholesale product sales to franchisees. The Company changed its franchise product sales business in fiscal year 2022 from a wholesale distribution model to a third-party distribution model.
Advertising fund contributions - Sales-based advertising fund contributions received from franchisees.
Company-owned salon revenue - Service revenue and revenue derived from sales of product in company-owned salons.
Cost of product sales to franchisees - Direct cost of inventory and freight and other costs of sales.
Company-owned salon expense - Cost of service and product sold to guests in our company-owned salons and other salon-related costs. Excluded from this caption are general and administrative expense, rent and depreciation and amortization related to company-owned salons.
Consideration Received from Vendors:
The Company receives consideration for a variety of vendor-sponsored programs. These programs primarily include volume rebates and promotion and advertising reimbursements.
With respect to volume rebates, the Company estimates the amount of rebate it will receive and accrues it as a reduction to the cost of inventory over the period in which the rebate is earned based upon historical purchasing patterns and the terms of the volume rebate program. A quarterly analysis is performed in order to ensure the estimated rebate accrued is reasonable and any necessary adjustments are recorded.

Distribution Costs:
In fiscal year 2022, the Company exited its two distribution centers and changed the wholesale product distribution model in favor of a third-party distribution model, reducing the cost in fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Beginning in the second half of fiscal year 2022, the Company began storing inventory at a third-party facility. Prior to closing the distribution centers in fiscal year 2022, the Company incurred costs to store, move, and ship product from the Company's distribution centers to salons. Distribution costs related to product shipped to company-owned locations are included in company-owned salon expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Distribution costs, including distribution center overhead, related to shipping product to franchise locations totaled $ 2.3 million during fiscal year 2022, and are included in general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no such charges during fiscal years 2024 or 2023.
Advertising and Advertising Funds:
Advertising costs consist of the Company's corporate funded advertising costs, the Company's advertising fund contributions, and franchisee's advertising fund contributions. Corporate funded advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has various franchising programs supporting specific franchise salon concepts. Most maintain advertising funds that provide comprehensive advertising and sales promotion support. All salons are required to participate in the advertising funds for the same salon concept. The Company administers the advertising funds in accordance with franchise operating and other agreements. Advertising fund contributions are expensed when the contribution is made.
The Company's advertising costs included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations consist of the following:
Fiscal Years
2024 2023 2022

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans:
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award (or to the date a participant becomes eligible for retirement, if earlier). The Company uses fair value methods that require the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term, expected volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate.
The Company estimates the likelihood and the rate of achievement for performance sensitive stock-based awards at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the estimated rate of achievement can have a significant effect on the recorded stock-based compensation expense as the effect of a change in the estimated achievement level is recognized in the period the change occurs.
Interest Expense:
During fiscal years 2023 and 2024, the Company’s credit agreement had variable interest rates over the term of the debt. Accordingly, interest expense was recorded using a weighted average effective interest rate by estimating total future cash flows related to the debt to determine interest expense. The estimated cash flows included the margin rate, PIK interest, SOFR interest, and tenor fee applied to the forecasted outstanding debt balance in each future period. The significant assumptions used in the estimate were future SOFR rates and expected debt balance, as well as the length of time the debt would be outstanding. Management applied the weighted average rate to the debt balance to record interest expense for the period. Due to the interest rate increases over the debt term, the Company recorded more interest expense than interest paid in cash in fiscal years 2023 and 2024.
On June 24, 2024, Regis entered into a new credit agreement with a variable interest rate based on SOFR plus margin. The margin applicable to the new term loan and revolving credit facility is 9.00 %. If the Company's leverage ratio is less than 3.75 to 1.00, the margin rate is 8.50 %. In either scenario, 4.5 % of the margin is paid-in-kind (PIK) interest (added to the principal balance and thereafter accruing interest), and the remainder is paid currently in cash. The margin applicable to any letter of credit is 5.25 % and paid currently in cash. See additional discussion in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, of this Form 10-K.
Gain on Extinguishment of Long-Term Debt, Net
In June 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $ 94.6 million related to the extinguishment of long-term debt. Additionally, the net gain includes the write off of paid-in-kind interest accruals and the write off of unamortized debt financing fees.

Sales Taxes:
Sales taxes are recorded on a net basis (rather than as both revenue and an expense) within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes:
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements or income tax returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. The Company evaluates all evidence, including recent financial performance, the existence of cumulative year losses and our forecast of future taxable income, to assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. While the determination of whether to record a valuation allowance is not fully governed by a specific objective test, accounting guidance places significant weight on recent financial performance.
The Company has a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets of $ 181.8 million and $ 202.2 million at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decline in fiscal year 2024 is primarily due to utilization of its U.S. net operating loss and a reduction to the corresponding valuation allowance. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make necessary adjustments to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company reserves for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties related to anticipated tax audit positions in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of whether additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of these liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period in which it is determined that the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, additional expenses would result.
Inherent in the measurement of deferred balances are certain judgments and interpretations of tax laws and published guidance with respect to the Company's operations. Income tax expense is primarily the current tax payable for the period and the change during the period in certain deferred tax assets and liabilities.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share:
The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net income (loss) divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding stock awards. The Company's dilutive earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which includes shares issuable under the Company's stock option plan and long-term incentive plan and dilutive securities, including warrants issued in connection with the June 2024 credit agreement. Stock-based awards with exercise prices greater than the average market value of the Company's common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Comprehensive Income (Loss):
Components of comprehensive income (loss) include net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments and recognition of deferred compensation, net of tax within shareholders' equity (deficit).
Foreign Currency Translation:
The Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the Company's international operations are measured using local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rates in effect at each Consolidated Balance Sheet date. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity (deficit). Consolidated Statements of Operations accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. During fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded foreign currency losses of $ 0.5 million, $ 0.3 million, and $ 0.6 million in income (loss) from continuing operations, respectively, in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted by the Company:
On July 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and a description of other segment items (the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss) by reportable segment, as well as disclosure of the title and position of the entity’s CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to impact our consolidated financial statements beyond the expansion of our reportable segment disclosures.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION:
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue:
Revenue recognized over time
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 revenues are 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. The treatment increases both the gross amount of reported revenue and 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 opens and is then recognized over the term of the franchise agreement, which is typically 10 years . Franchise rental income is a result of the Company signing leases on behalf of franchisees and entering into sublease arrangements with the franchisees. The Company recognizes franchise rental income and expense when it is due to the landlord.
Revenue recognized at point of sale
Company-owned salon revenues are recognized at the time when the services are provided, or 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 guest. Gift card breakage, the amount of gift cards which will not be redeemed, is recognized based on gift card balances with no activity over a 36-month basis. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company revised its estimate related to the gift card breakage and recognized $ 1.3 million of non-cash gift card revenue. Product sales to franchisees are recorded at the time product is delivered to the franchisee.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On June 30, 2022, the Company sold its OSP software-as-a-service solution to Soham Inc. The Company received $ 13.0 million in proceeds in June 2022 and received an additional $ 5.0 million in proceeds in fiscal year 2023, offset by a $ 0.5 million transaction fee.

6. 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 one to 11 years with many leases renewable for an additional five 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 from continuing operations includes the following:
Fiscal Years

Total $ 5,525 $ 9,196 $ 9,357
_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) During fiscal years 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred costs of $ 0.1 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively, to exit salons before the lease end date in order to relieve the company of future lease obligations. During fiscal year 2022, lease termination expense includes $ 0.9 million to exit the Company's distribution centers before the lease end dates and $ 0.9 million to exit salons before the lease end dates in order to relieve the Company of future lease obligations.
(2) Upon termination of previously impaired leases, the Company derecognizes the corresponding ROU assets and lease liabilities which results in a net gain. In addition, the Company recognizes a benefit from lease liabilities decreasing in excess of previously impaired ROU assets for ongoing leases that were previously impaired.

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company leases salon premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with franchisees. All lease-related 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. In fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense were $ 95.3 million, $ 111.4 million, and $ 130.8 million, respectively. These leases generally have lease terms of approximately five years . The Company expects to renew the SmartStyle master lease and certain leases for locations subleased to our franchisees upon expiration of those leases. Other leases are expected to be renewed by the franchisee upon expiration.
All the Company's leases are 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. 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 5.05 years and 5.52 years, and the weighted average discount rate was 5.13 % and 4.55 % for all salon operating leases as of June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
As of June 30, 2024, 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):

7. 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 June 30, 2024, and 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, inventory, deferred compensation assets, debt, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values.
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.

(1) June 30, 2023, term loan and revolving credit facility had a maturity date of August 31, 2025.
(2) June 30, 2024, term loan and revolving credit facility matures on June 24, 2029.
In June 2024, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”). The 2024 Credit Agreement includes a $ 105.0 million term loan and a $ 25.0 million revolving credit facility, with a $ 10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant and is set to expire June 2029. The Company incurred $ 14.2 million of refinancing fees (including $ 3.9 million of Original Issue Discount fee) that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. The 2024 Credit Agreement is considered a troubled debt restructuring, which resulted in a $ 94.6 million ($ 39.83 per weighted average diluted share) gain on the extinguishment of the prior agreement. Any unamortized financing fees that existed at the date of the new agreement were written off upon the signing date of the 2024 Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the unused available credit under the revolving credit facility was $ 9.8 million and the Company's total liquidity was $ 19.9 million. In connection with the transition of the letters of credit, the available liquidity is reduced by $ 5.0 million dollars at June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 10.1 million. The $ 10.2 million drawn on the credit facility at June 30, 2024 related to restricted cash temporarily collateralizing letters of credit as the Company transitioned to the new lender. See Note 16 for subsequent event related to letters of credit, cash collateralization, and revolver availability.
The interest rate on the 2024 Credit Agreement is based on secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus margin. The margin applicable to 2024 Credit Agreement is subject to change based on the Company's total leverage ratio, remeasured annually on a predetermined date set by the lender. When the Company's total leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00, the margin applicable to the new term loan and revolving credit facility is 9.00 %. If the Company's leverage ratio is less than 3.75 to 1.00 the margin rate is 8.50 %. In either scenario, 4.5 % of the margin is paid-in-kind (PIK) interest (added to the principal balance and thereafter accruing interest), and the remainder is paid currently in cash. The SOFR base rate applicable to the debt has a floor of 2.5 % per annum. The margin applicable to any letter of credit is 5.25 %, and paid currently in cash.
The previous credit agreement utilized an interest rate margin that was subject to annual increases. The margin applicable to term SOFR loans was 3.875 % through March 27, 2023. Effective March 27, 2023, the margin increased to 6.25 %, of which 4.25 % was paid currently in cash and 2.00 % was PIK interest (added to the principal balance and thereafter accruing interest). Effective March 27, 2024, the margin increased to 7.25 %, of which 4.25 % was paid currently in cash and 3.00 % was PIK interest. The margin previously applicable to base rate loans will be 100 basis points ( 1.00 %) less than the margin applicable to term SOFR loans. Interest expense is recorded based on a weighted average effective interest rate method. The significant assumptions used in the weighted average estimate are the future SOFR rates and debt balance, as well as the length of time the debt will be outstanding. Due to the interest rate increasing over the debt term, the Company recorded more interest expense than interest paid in cash in fiscal years 2024 and 2023.
The agreement contains typical provisions and financial covenants regarding maximum leverage and minimum fixed-charge coverage and a minimum liquidity threshold of $ 10.0 million. In connection with the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company issued detachable stock warrants to the debt lenders. See Note 14 for additional details. The Company was in compliance with its covenants and other requirements of the financing arrangements as of June 30, 2024. The Company's assets serve as collateral to the new credit facility.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies:
As of June 30, 2024, the Company was self-insured for most workers' compensation, employment practice liability, and general liability. Workers' compensation and general liability losses are subject to per occurrence and aggregate annual liability limitations. The Company is insured for losses in excess of these limitations. The Company is also self-insured for health care claims for eligible participating employees subject to certain deductibles and limitations. The Company determines its liability for claims incurred but not reported on an actuarial basis. Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the Company transitioned to a third-party guaranteed cost insurance plan for workers' compensation and general liability claims.
Litigation and Settlements:
The Company is a plaintiff or defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other franchisors, the Company has faced allegations of franchise regulation and agreement violations. Additionally, because the Company may be the tenant under a master lease for a location subleased to a franchisee, the Company has faced allegations of nonpayment of rent and associated charges. Further, similar to other large retail employers, the Company has faced, and may continue to face, allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations.
During fiscal year 2024, the Company recorded $ 0.2 million of expense related to litigation and paid $ 0.2 million in fees related to settlements of claims. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. During fiscal year 2023, the Company recorded $ 1.0 million of expense related to litigation and paid $ 1.5 million in fees related to settlements of claims.
The Company's previous point-of-sale system supplier had challenged the development of certain parts of the Company's technology systems in litigation brought in the Northern District of California. The Company and the supplier entered into an agreement, effective June 25, 2021, that provided for the dismissal of the lawsuit and set forth a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which the supplier will assist in the transfer of franchise salons from its point-of-sale system to the Company's salon management system, OSP. The Company and the supplier entered into an amendment to the Settlement Agreement, effective June 15, 2022, in which the Company agreed to pay $ 2.0 million to the supplier in installments commencing on June 15, 2022, and ending on December 10, 2022, in consideration of a release of claims arising out of or related to the Transition Services Agreement and for the supplier to continue to provide the services set forth in that agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has made all payments under the agreement.
Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the actions are being vigorously defended, the Company could incur judgments in the future or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.

At June 30, 2024, the Company has tax-effected federal, state, Canada, and U.K. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 102.9 million, $ 27.1 million, $ 8.5 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively. The Company's federal loss carryforward consists of $ 12.3 million that will expire in fiscal year 2038 and $ 90.6 million that has no expiration. The state loss carryforwards consist of $ 23.5 million that will expire from fiscal years 2025 to 2044 and $ 3.6 million that has no expiration. The federal and state loss carryforwards reported in the financial statements are reduced for uncertain tax positions by $ 17.6 million and $ 2.6 million, respectively. The Canada loss carryforward will expire from fiscal years 2036 to 2044. The U.K. loss carryforward has no expiration.
The Company's tax credit carryforward of $ 37.6 million primarily consists of Work Opportunity Tax Credits that will expire from fiscal years 2031 to 2044.
The Company's capital loss carryforward of $ 5.9 million will expire in fiscal year 2025.
We consider the earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside the U.S. Accordingly, we have not recorded deferred taxes related to the U.S. federal and state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on approximately $ 2.1 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, which have been reinvested outside the U.S. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, taxes payable on the remittance of such earnings is expected to be minimal.
The Company files tax returns and pays tax primarily in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., as well as states, cities, and provinces within these jurisdictions. With limited exceptions, due to net operating loss carryforwards, the Company's federal, state, and foreign tax returns are open to examination for all years since 2014, 2013, and 2016, respectively.
A rollforward of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Fiscal Years
2024 2023
(Dollars in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period $ 21,393 $ 22,173
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 3 10
Additions (reductions) based on tax positions of prior years 12 ( 663 )
Reductions on tax positions related to the expiration of the statute of limitations ( 176 ) ( 127 )
Balance at end of period $ 21,232 $ 21,393
If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, a net benefit of approximately $ 0.7 million would be recorded in the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. The Company recorded interest and penalties of approximately $ 0.1 million, $ 0.1 million, and $ 0.2 million, as reductions to the accrual, net of the respective reversal of previously accrued interest and penalties during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $ 0.6 million. This amount is not included in the gross unrecognized tax benefits noted above.
It is reasonably possible the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next fiscal year. However, an estimate of the amount or range of the change cannot be made at this time.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net income (loss) divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding stock options (SOs), outstanding stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units (RSUs), and stock-settled performance units (PSUs). The Company's diluted earnings per share is calculated as net income (loss) divided by weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which includes shares issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans and warrants issued in connection with the June 2024 refinancing. Stock-based awards and warrants 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 fiscal years 2023 and 2022, 24,636 and 30,425 common stock equivalents of dilutive common stock, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation due to net loss from continuing operations.
The computation of weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excluded the following stock-based awards as they were not dilutive under the treasury stock method:

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company grants long-term equity-based awards under the 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2018 Plan). The 2018 Plan, which was approved by the Company's shareholders at its 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, provides for the granting of nonqualified SOs, equity-based SARs and cash-settled SARs, RSUs and PSUs, to employees and non-employee directors of the Company. Under the 2018 Plan, a maximum of 190,945 shares are approved for issuance. The 2018 Plan incorporates a fungible share design, under which full value awards (such as RSUs and PSUs) count against the shares reserved for issuance at a rate 2.0 times higher than appreciation awards (such as SARs and SOs). As of June 30, 2024, a maximum of 51,366 shares were available for grant under the 2018 Plan. All unvested awards are subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment, unless accelerated. SAR and RSU awards granted under the 2018 Plan generally include various acceleration terms, including upon retirement for participants aged 62 years or older or who are aged 55 years or older and have 15 years of continuous service.
The Company also has outstanding awards under the 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2016 Plan), although the 2016 Plan terminated in October 2018 and no additional awards have since been or will be made under the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provided for the granting of SARs, restricted stock awards (RSAs), RSUs and PSUs, as well as cash-based performance grants, to employees and non-employee directors of the Company.
The Company also has outstanding awards under the Amended and Restated 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan), although the 2004 Plan terminated in October 2016 and no additional awards have since been or will be made under the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan provided for the granting of nonqualified SOs, SARs, RSAs, RSUs and PSUs, as well as cash-based performance grants, to employees and non-employee directors of the Company.
Under the 2018 Plan, 2016 Plan, and the 2004 Plan, stock-based awards are granted at an exercise price or initial value equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. The fair value of cash-settled SARs granted in fiscal year 2022 are re-valued on a quarterly basis.
Using the fair value of each grant on the date of grant, the weighted average fair values per stock-based compensation award granted during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 were as follows (1):
Fiscal Years
2024 2023 2022
SARs $ — $ 30.40 $ 51.20
SOs — 28.60 36.40
RSUs 21.20 — 53.80
_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) The fair value of cash-settled SARs granted are estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model, with the fair value recalculated on a quarterly basis. The fair value of market-based SOs granted are estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of market-based RSUs granted are estimated on the date of grant using the closing stock price on the date of grant.
The significant assumptions used in determining the estimated fair value of the market-based awards granted during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 were as follows:
Fiscal Years
2024 2023 2022
Risk-free interest rate 3.88 - 4.32 %
3.08 - 4.30 %
1.25 - 3.04 %
Expected volatility 89.2 - 104.8 %
69.5 - 82.6 %
58.3 - 64.5 %
Expected dividend yield — % — % — %
Expected term of stock-based awards 5.8 - 6.7 years
6.0 - 7.9 years
6.1 - 7.7 years
The risk-free interest rate is determined based on the U.S. Treasury rates approximating the expected life of the market-based SARs, SOs, and RSUs granted. Expected volatility is established based on historical volatility of the Company's stock price. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeiture rates. The expected term is based on a review of historical exercise experience.

14. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Authorized Shares and Designation of Preferred Class:
The Company has 5.0 million shares of capital stock authorized, par value $ 0.05 , of which all outstanding shares, and shares available under the Stock Option Plans, have been designated as common stock.
Stock Warrants Issues in Connection with Long-Term Debt:
In connection with the new credit agreement, the Company issued detachable warrants to affiliates of TCW Asset Management Company, LLC, and Asilia Investments. Pursuant to the warrants, the holders can purchase up to an aggregate 407,542 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.05 per share, at an exercise price equal to $ 7.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a seven-year period beginning June 24, 2024. The warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis under certain circumstances under the agreement.
In addition, in connection with the issuance of the warrants, the Company has granted an exemption in favor of each holder pursuant to Section 36 of the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, dated January 29, 2024, among the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the “Plan”), such that neither Holder was deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Plan) solely in connection with (i) the issuance of the warrants nor (ii) the acquisition of beneficial ownership of securities of the Company pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.
The warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Based in part upon the representations of each holder in each warrant, the offering and sale of each warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
The warrants were valued at $ 1.5 million using a relative fair value method, and were accounted for through additional paid-in capital. Further, the related financing fees incurred as a result of warrant issuance is recorded through a contra-equity account, and amounts to $ 0.2 million.
Prior to the second anniversary of the issue date, the Company may call for cancellation up to an aggregate 203,771 shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants for consideration equal to $ 15.00 per share; provided, that the volume weighted average price on the trading day immediately preceding the date the Company delivers a written call notice to a holder exceeds $ 20.00 . As of June 30, 2024 the Company has no intentions on exercising this call provision. The Company will reassess this intention on a quarterly basis.
Share Issuance Program:
In February 2021, the Company filed a $ 150.0 million shelf registration and $ 50.0 million prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which it had the ability to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $ 50.0 million worth of its common stock in "at-the-market" offerings. In fiscal year 2022, 464,781 shares were issued for $ 38.4 million under the prospectus. During fiscal years 2023 and 2024, the Company did no t issue any shares under this prospectus. The share issuance program expired on February 10, 2024.
In May 2000, the Company's Board approved a stock repurchase program with no stated expiration date. Originally, the program authorized up to $ 50.0 million to be expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock. The Board elected to increase this maximum to $ 100.0 million in August 2003, to $ 200.0 million in May 2005, to $ 300.0 million in April 2007, to $ 350.0 million in April 2015, to $ 400.0 million in September 2015, to $ 450.0 million in January 2016, and to $ 650.0 million in August 2018. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. As of June 30, 2024, 1.5 million shares have been cumulatively repurchased for $ 595.4 million, and $ 54.6 million remained authorized for repurchase.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Financial information concerning the Company's reportable operating segments is shown in the table below. Segment information is presented on the same basis that the Company internally organizes the business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company revised its internal reporting such that the Chief Operating Decision Maker's (CODM) primary measures of segment performance are revenue and segment adjusted EBITDA. Revenue and segment adjusted EBITDA are regularly reviewed by the CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments, assess current performance, and forecast future performance. The Company's CODM does not evaluate reportable segments using assets and capital expenditure information. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and impairment. Consistent with our internal management reporting, unallocated expenses include certain items impacting comparability. These unallocated items are not defined terms within U.S. GAAP. They are based on how management views the business, makes financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluates the Company's ongoing performance and are not attributable to either segment. Unallocated fees include distribution center wind down fees, inventory reserve, one-time professional fees and settlements, severance expense, the benefit from lease liability decreases in excess of previously impaired ROU assets, lease termination fees, asset retirement obligation costs, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, and the benefit from the Company's debt refinancing. Figures for prior reporting periods have been restated to conform to the current period.
The Franchise reportable operating segment is comprised of 4,391 franchise salons located mainly in strip center locations and Walmart. Franchise salons offer high quality, convenient and value priced hair care and beauty services and retail products. This segment operates primarily in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada and primarily includes the Supercuts, SmartStyle, Cost Cutters, First Choice Haircutters, Roosters, and Magicuts concepts.
The company-owned salons reportable operating segment is comprised of 17 company-owned salons located mainly in strip center locations and Walmart. Company-owned salons offer high quality, convenient and value priced hair care and beauty services and retail products. SmartStyle, Supercuts, Cost Cutters and other regional trade names operating in the U.S. and Canada are generally within the company-owned salons segment.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
Workforce Reduction:
In August 2024, the Company executed a workforce reduction. As a result of the workforce reduction, the Company expects to incur lower salary and wage related expenses, partially offset by severance expense and investments back into the business. We are unable to estimate the net impact of workforce reduction, severance expense and related investments into the business.
Revolving Credit Facility/Restricted Cash:
