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, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 judgments. We determined 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 3,647 at June 30, 2025, to 3,448 at June 30, 2026. Company-owned salons in operation decreased from 294 at June 30, 2025, to 264 at June 30, 2026. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our Segments. Salons are located in leased space in strip center locations, malls, or Walmart stores.
Alline Salon Group Acquisition:
On December 19, 2024, the Company completed the transaction to acquire 100 percent ownership of Super C Group, LLC, doing business as Alline Salon Group (Alline). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid cash consideration of approximately $ 19 million, stock consideration valued at $ 3.0 million, and additional amounts for working capital adjustments and transaction-related fees. Refer to Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the acquisition. The Company’s financial results for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, include the results of Alline subsequent to the December 19, 2024, acquisition date.
Acquisition-Related Costs:
Acquisition-related costs of $ 1.4 million were incurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and primarily represent third-party consulting and legal expenses associated with the acquisition of Alline completed on December 19, 2024. These costs were recorded within general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2025.
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 risks and benefits of the VIE. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has no VIE's where the Company is the primary beneficiary.
Guarantees:
The Company, as a guarantor, is required to recognize, at inception of the guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of such obligations guaranteed.

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, 2026, and 2025.
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,

Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 43,995 $ 35,205

Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses:
The receivable balance on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily includes accounts and notes receivable from franchisees and credit card receivables. 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, 2026, and 2025, the allowance for credit losses was $ 3.8 million and $ 5.0 million, respectively. 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.
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 $ 3.1 million, $ 2.6 million, and $ 3.7 million in fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Depreciation expense for fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024 includes $ 0.3 million, $ 0.1 million, and $ 0.5 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. 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 corporate facilities under operating leases. The original terms of the salon leases range from one to ten years with many leases renewable for an additional five to ten-year term or terms 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 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 company-owned salon 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.

Salon Long-Lived Asset and Right of Use Asset Impairment Assessments:
A lessee's ROU asset is subject to the same asset impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, applied to other elements of property, plant, and equipment. 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. Management assesses underperforming salon asset groups, which include 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, 2026.
During fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of $ 0.1 million, $ 0.4 million, and $ 0.8 million, respectively, 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 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, 2026, and 2025, the franchise reporting unit had goodwill of $ 172.4 million and $ 173.1 million, respectively, and the company-owned reporting unit had $ 10.3 million of goodwill as of June 30, 2026, and 2025. 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 unit 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 2026 and Fiscal 2025
The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to perform its annual impairment assessment as of April 30 of each respective fiscal year. For the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a combination of both a discounted cash flows approach and market approach to evaluate the reporting units. 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 Company compared the carrying value of the reporting units, including goodwill, to their estimated fair values. The results of this assessment indicated that the estimated fair values of the Company's franchise and company-owned reporting units exceeded the carrying values, resulting in no goodwill impairment charge in either year.
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 a 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.

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.
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 2026, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded decreases in expense for changes in estimates related to prior year open policy periods of $ 0.8 million, $ 0.8 million, and $ 0.9 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, 2026, the Company had $ 1.0 million and $ 2.8 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, 2025, the Company had $ 1.2 million and $ 3.5 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, 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. 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.
Franchise rental income - Rental income earned as a result of the Company signing leases on behalf of franchisees and entering into sublease arrangements with the 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.
Advertising fund expense - Expenses related to sales-based advertising fund contributions received from franchisees.
Franchise rental expense - Expense incurred as a result of the Company signing leases on behalf of franchisees and entering into sublease arrangements with the franchisees.
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.
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
2026 2025 2024

Advertising fund contributions from franchisees $ 21,392 $ 21,924 $ 25,663

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 year 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 year 2024.
On June 24, 2024, Regis entered into a new credit agreement with a variable interest rate based on SOFR plus margin which was amended on December 19, 2024. 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, the Company has elected the option to pay 4.5 % of the margin as paid-in-kind (PIK) interest (added to the principal balance and thereafter accruing interest), and the remainder is paid currently in cash. The interest rate applicable to any letter of credit is 5.25 % and paid currently in cash. The SOFR base rate applicable to the debt has a floor of 2.50 % per annum. See additional discussion in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 $ 57.7 million and $ 60.5 million at June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
The significant change to the valuation allowance which occurred during fiscal year 2026 is as follows:
• As of June 30, 2026, we determined that an additional $ 3.2 million of our U.S. tax credit carryforwards will be realizable. Therefore, we released the associated valuation allowance and recorded a corresponding tax benefit.
Significant changes to the valuation allowance which occurred during fiscal year 2025 are as follows:
• As of June 30, 2025, we determined that it is more likely than not that the majority of our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will be realizable. As such, we released $ 110.2 million of our valuation allowance associated with the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance remains on certain US tax credit carryforwards and state deferred tax assets in which we have concluded that it is more likely than not that they will expire unused.
• As of June 30, 2025, we determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of our Canadian deferred tax assets will be realizable, and released $ 6.1 million of our Canadian valuation allowance.
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 Per Share:
The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net income 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 Company's 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:
Components of comprehensive income include net income, foreign currency translation adjustments and recognition of deferred compensation, net of tax within shareholders' equity.
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. Consolidated Statements of Operations accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. During fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded foreign currency losses of $ 0.6 million, $ 0.1 million, and $ 0.5 million in income from continuing operations, respectively, in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted by the Company:
On June 30, 2026, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” which includes amendments requiring enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for required disclosures.
On June 30, 2026, the Company also adopted ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets." The ASU includes amendments which provide entities with a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the assets, effectively simplifying credit loss estimations for certain situations. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-04) Disaggregation of Income Statement of Expenses," which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its financial statements and 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 typically recognized over 10 years, but is evaluated for immediate revenue recognition when a salon is acquired by Regis or closed. 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 24-month basis. Product sales to franchisees are recorded at the time product is delivered to the franchisee.
Information about receivables, broker fees, and deferred revenue subject to the revenue recognition guidance is as follows:

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On June 30, 2022, the Company sold its OSP software-as-a-service solution to Soham Inc. As a result of the sale, the Company classified the OSP business as discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. In fiscal year 2024, the Company received $ 2.0 million of proceeds that had been previously held back for general indemnity provisions. In fiscal year 2025, the Company received additional proceeds of $ 8.5 million related to the number of salons that migrated to Soham's Zenoti product. Cash (used in) provided by investing activities for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, includes $ 8.5 million, and $ 2.0 million respectively, of cash from discontinued operations. The Zenoti migration was successfully completed in fiscal year 2025, and therefore no income from discontinued operations was recorded in fiscal year 2026.
The following summarizes the results of discontinued operations for the periods presented:

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 its corporate facilities under operating leases. The original terms range from one to ten years with many leases renewable for an additional five to ten-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 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 includes the following:

(1) Rental income associated with the sublease of the corporate office space is recorded in other income and was $ 1.3 million and $ 1.2 million for the years ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
(2) Costs incurred to exit salons before the lease end date in order to relieve the Company of future lease obligations.
(3) 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.
(4) Includes rent related to the salons acquired in the December 2024 Alline Acquisition. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 2026, 2025, and 2024, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense were $ 62.9 million, $ 76.6 million, and $ 95.3 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 expected lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, less 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 expected lease term. The weighted average remaining lease term was 4.35 years and 4.68 years, and the weighted average discount rate was 6.82 % and 6.45 % for all salon operating leases as of June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities includes rent, common area maintenance, termination fees, settlements and legal fees, and commission payments. Other than leases with Walmart, franchisees pay landlords directly.
As a result of having assigned our interest in obligations under certain real estate leases directly to our franchisees, the Company is secondarily liable on such lease agreements as guarantor. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2035. As of June 30, 2026, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees is approximately $ 4.6 million, and no liability has been recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these guarantees, as the probability of default is considered remote.

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, 2026, and 2025, 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.
The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability assumed with the acquisition of Alline. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within other noncurrent liabilities, totaling zero dollars and $ 1.0 million at June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The earn-out liability is adjusted at fair value quarterly until settled utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation, which is a Level 3 input, and changes in fair value are reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Changes in the earn-out liability measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs were as follows:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We measure certain assets, including the Company's 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.

Less: Long-term debt, current portion ( 3,000 ) ( 1,100 )
Long-term debt, net $ 114,138 $ 109,693
_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) The term loan and revolving credit facility mature on June 24, 2029. The interest rate applicable to any letter of credit is 5.25 % and paid currently in cash.
(2) Deferred financing fees, inclusive of $ 4.3 million of original issue discount fees, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related agreement.
The Company's credit agreement, as amended (the 2024 Credit Agreement), includes a $ 120.0 million term loan and a $ 25.0 million revolving credit facility, with a $ 10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant, is secured by the Company's assets, and is set to expire on June 24, 2029. The debt refinancing in June of 2024, was 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.
In connection with the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company issued detachable stock warrants to the debt lenders. See Note 14 for additional details.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit under the revolving credit facility of $ 6.0 million, primarily related to the Company's self-insurance program. As of June 30, 2026, total available liquidity, net of the $ 10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant, and available credit under the $ 25.0 million revolving credit facility, as defined by the amended agreement, were $ 35.0 million and $ 19.0 million, respectively. The Company was in compliance with its covenants and other requirements of the financing arrangements as of June 30, 2026.
The interest rate on the 2024 Credit Agreement is based on the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus margin. The margin 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 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, the Company has elected the option to pay 4.5 % of the margin as 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 2.50 % per annum. The interest rate applicable to any letter of credit is 5.25 % and paid currently in cash.
The 2024 Credit Agreement includes scheduled payments totaling $ 3.0 million in each of fiscal years 2027, 2028, and 2029, plus a balloon payment at maturity. Additionally, excess cash is swept annually per the terms of the agreement. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company paid $ 1.5 million to satisfy the annual mandatory prepayment of 75 % of excess cash flow as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement. This amount was applied as a prepayment of the term loan and reduced the Company's unrestricted cash balance accordingly.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies:
As of June 30, 2026, 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 patent, consumer, and wage and hour violations, some of which involve class actions. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
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.

(3) The 8.7 % of other, net in fiscal year 2025 includes the rate impact of the federal provision to return true-up and permanent adjustments of 6.2 % and 2.5 %, respectively. The ( 0.3 )% of other, net in fiscal year 2024 does not include the rate impact of any items in excess of 5% of computed tax.

At June 30, 2026, the Company has tax-effected federal, state, Canada, and U.K. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 97.8 million, $ 26.2 million, $ 9.3 million, and $ 0.3 million, respectively. The Company's federal loss carryforward consists of $ 7.2 million that will expire in fiscal year 2038 and $ 90.6 million that has no expiration. The state loss carryforwards consist of $ 22.7 million that will expire from fiscal years 2027 to 2046 and $ 3.5 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 $ 2.0 million, respectively. The Canada loss carryforward will expire from fiscal years 2036 to 2046. The U.K. loss carryforward has no expiration.
The Company's tax credit carryforward of $ 38.4 million primarily consists of Work Opportunity Tax Credits that will expire from fiscal years 2031 to 2044. In addition, the Company generated FICA Tip Tax Credits totaling $ 0.9 million in fiscal year 2026, which is included in this total.
The Company's capital loss carryforward will expire in fiscal year 2030.
On July 4, 2025, legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law. The OBBBA makes

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
changes to the United States corporate income tax system, including, among other provisions, the modification of the limitation
on business interest deductions under Section 163(j) of the Code, 100 percent bonus depreciation on qualified property and
expansion of the 45B FICA Tip Tax Credit provisions applicable to the beauty salon industry. The impacts of the OBBBA are
reflected in our results for the year ended June 30, 2026.
The Company considers 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 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 are 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
2026 2025
(Dollars in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period $ 21,194 $ 21,232
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 3 3

Reductions on tax positions related to the expiration of the statute of limitations ( 179 ) ( 49 )
Balance at end of period $ 21,019 $ 21,194
If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, a net benefit of approximately $ 0.6 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 as reductions to the accrual, net of the respective reversal of previously accrued interest and penalties, during each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026, 2025, and 2024. As of June 30, 2026, 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.

11. BENEFIT PLANS
Regis Retirement Savings Plan:
The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan, the Regis Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). The RRSP is a defined contribution profit-sharing plan with a 401(k) feature that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The 401(k) portion of the RRSP is a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under section 401(k) of the Code and under which eligible employees may elect to contribute a percentage of their eligible compensation. Employees who are 18 years of age or older and who were not highly compensated employees as defined by the Code during the preceding RRSP year are eligible to participate in the RRSP commencing with the first day of the month following their completion of one month of service.
The discretionary employer contribution profit-sharing portion of the RRSP is a noncontributory defined contribution component covering full-time and part-time employees of the Company who have at least one year of eligible service, defined as 1,000 hours of service during the RRSP year, are employed by the Company on the last day of the RRSP year and are Salon Support employees, field leaders, artistic directors or consultants, and that are not highly compensated employees as defined by the Code. Participants' interest in the noncontributory defined contribution component becomes 20.0 % vested after completing two years of service with vesting increasing 20.0 % for each additional year of service with participants becoming fully vested after six full years of service.
Nonqualified Deferred Salary Plan:
The Company maintains a Nonqualified Deferred Salary Plan (Executive Plan), which covers Company officers and all other employees who are highly compensated as defined by the Code. The discretionary employer contribution portion of the Executive Plan is a profit-sharing component in which a participant's interest becomes 20.0 % vested after completing two years of service with vesting increasing 20.0 % for each additional year of service with participants becoming fully vested after six full years of service. Certain participants within the Executive Plan also receive a matching contribution from the Company.
Regis Individual Secured Retirement Plan (RiSRP):
The Company maintains a Regis Individual Secured Retirement Plan (RiSRP), pursuant to which eligible employees may use post-tax dollars to purchase life insurance benefits. Salon Support employees at the director level and above qualify. The Company may make discretionary contributions on behalf of participants within the RiSRP, which may be calculated as a matching contribution. The participant is the owner of the life insurance policy under the RiSRP.
Stock Purchase Plan:
The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) available to qualifying employees. Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees may contribute up to $ 20,000 through payroll deductions per calendar year to purchase the Company's common stock. The Company contributes an amount equal to 15.0 % of the purchase price of the stock to be purchased on the open market until all shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP have been purchased and pays all administrative expenses of the ESPP, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, transfer fees, and similar costs.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net income 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 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 Company's credit agreement. Stock-based awards 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. The computation of weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excluded stock-based awards as detailed below, as they were not dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the presentation of shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS):

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company grants long-term equity-based awards under the Amended and Restated 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (the Amended and Restated 2018 Plan). The Amended and Restated 2018 Plan, which was approved by the Company's shareholders at its 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, provides for the granting of non-qualified SOs, equity-based SARs and cash-settled SARs, RSUs and PSUs, to employees and non-employee directors of the Company. Under the Amended and Restated 2018 Plan, a maximum of 415,945 shares are approved for issuance. As of June 30, 2026, a maximum of 214,253 shares were available for grant under the Amended and Restated 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 Amended and Restated 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 non-qualified SOs, SARs, RSAs, RSUs and PSUs, as well as cash-based performance grants, to employees and non-employee directors of the Company.
Under the Amended and Restated 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 for employees. Beginning with grants in fiscal year 2025, the number of shares subject to stock-based awards in the form of RSUs for non-employee directors was determined by dividing the dollar value of such awards by the twenty-day average share price preceding the grant date.
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 2026, 2025, and 2024 were as follows:
Fiscal Years
2026 2025 2024
RSUs $ 25.11 $ 22.20 $ 21.20
The significant assumptions used in determining the estimated fair value of the market-based awards held during fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024 were as follows:
Fiscal Years
2026 2025 2024
Risk-free interest rate 3.88 - 4.19 %
3.98 - 4.48 %
3.88 - 4.32 %
Expected volatility 66.8 - 88.6 %
84.6 - 319.3 %
89.2 - 104.8 %
Expected dividend yield — % — % — %
Expected term of stock-based awards 5.4 - 6.2 years
4.7 - 7.2 years
5.8 - 6.7 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
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.
Alline Acquisition:
In connection with the Alline Acquisition, the Company issued 140,552 shares of common stock to affiliates of Alline, which were subject to a one-year lock-up following the closing.
Stock Warrants Issued in Connection with Long-Term Debt:
In connection with the 2024 Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), 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 common stock of the Company, par value $ 0.05 per share (Common Stock), at an exercise price equal to $ 7.00 per share.
In December 2024, the Company amended the 2024 Credit Agreement. The Company issued additional warrants to affiliates of TCW Asset Management Company, LLC, and Asilia Investments. In connection with this amendment, the warrant holders can purchase up to an aggregate 64,372 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to $ 23.86 per share. The warrants issued in connection with the 2024 Credit Agreement and the amendment thereto are exercisable for a seven-year period beginning June 24, 2024, and December 19, 2024, respectively. The warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis if, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus therein is not available for, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants.
In addition, in connection with the issuance of the warrants, the Company granted an exemption in favor of each holder pursuant to Section 36 of the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, dated January 29, 2024, as the same may be amended from time to time, 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 (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 combined value of these warrants was $ 2.8 million using a relative fair value method and accounted for through additional paid-in capital upon issuance. Further, the related financing fees incurred as a result of warrant issuance are recorded through a contra-equity account and amounted to $ 0.2 million.
For the warrants originally issued in June 2024, 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 . The Company did not exercise this call provision prior to the second anniversary of the issue date, and the call provision expired in June 2026. For the warrants issued in December 2024, prior to the second anniversary of the issue date, the Company may call for cancellation up to an aggregate 32,186 shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants for consideration equal to $ 51.13 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 $ 68.17 . As of June 30, 2026, the Company has no intention of exercising the remaining call provision. The Company will reassess this intention on a quarterly basis.
Stock Warrants Issued in Connection with Consulting Services Agreement:
On August 1, 2025, as part of a consulting services agreement, the Company issued two warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company to Forum3 Inc., consisting of: (i) a warrant, exercisable through October 31, 2025, to purchase up to $ 490,000 in aggregate value of shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of the greater of $ 22 per share and the 10 -day average closing price immediately prior to any exercise (the Initial Warrant); and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to an additional 35,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $ 24.20 per share (the Coverage Warrant). The Coverage Warrant is eligible to vest proportionally to the extent the Initial Warrant is exercised, and, to the extent vested, will remain exercisable until August 1, 2028. At issuance, the fair value of these warrants was determined to be $ 0.5 million using the Black-Scholes model as described below. The warrants are not remeasured in future periods because they meet the conditions for equity classification.
86
As a result of the partial exercise of the Initial Warrant, the Coverage Warrant vested with respect to 21,429 shares of Common Stock and the remaining 13,571 shares of Common Stock subject to the Coverage Warrant did not vest. The Company valued the warrants, based on a Black-Scholes model, using the life of the warrants as the expected term, expected volatility of 177 %, a risk-free interest rate of 4.03 %, and a forfeiture rate of 38.8 % under the assumption that only $ 0.3 million of the Initial Warrant would be exercised.
On September 11, 2025, Forum3 Inc. exercised $ 300,000 of the Initial Warrant at the 10 -day average closing price of $ 23.87 per share for a total of 12,567 shares of Common Stock. The remaining $ 190,000 of the Initial Warrant expired on October 31, 2025.
Tax Benefits Preservation Plan:
The Company adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan intended to help protect the availability of certain tax attributes (including net operating loss carryforwards) by deterring acquisitions of Common Stock above a specified ownership threshold. In connection with the adoption of the Plan, the Company declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (a Right) for each outstanding share of common stock to shareholders of record as of February 9, 2024. The dividend had a de minimis value. The Rights are set forth in the Plan. On January 27, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Plan, extending the expiration date of the Plan from January 29, 2025, to January 29, 2028 (the Extension). Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Company submitted the Extension to its shareholders for ratification at the October 28, 2025 annual shareholders meeting, and the shareholders ratified the Plan.
The material terms of the Rights include, among others: (i) the ownership threshold that generally triggers the Rights becoming exercisable (an Acquiring Person) is 4.95 % beneficial ownership, subject to customary exemptions, grandfathering, and Board discretion as set forth in the Plan; (ii) prior to the Distribution Date (as defined in the Plan), the Rights trade together with the Company’s common stock and are not exercisable; (iii) upon the Distribution Date, the Rights detach and become exercisable to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an initial purchase price of $ 73.00 , subject to adjustment; (iv) if a person becomes an Acquiring Person, each Right (other than Rights held by the Acquiring Person, which become void) generally entitles its holder to purchase, for the exercise price, a number of shares of the Company’s common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price (a “flip-in” feature), subject to the terms and limitations in the Plan; (v) upon certain business combination transactions following the occurrence of an Acquiring Person, Rights holders may have the right to purchase common stock of the acquiring company at a discount (a “flip-over” feature), subject to the terms of the Plan; (vi) the Rights are redeemable by the Board at $ 0.0001 per Right prior to the time a person becomes an Acquiring Person, and the Board may exchange the Rights for shares of common stock (or other consideration) under specified circumstances; and (vii) the Rights expire on January 29, 2028, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged in accordance with the Plan.
The Company evaluated the Rights under applicable U.S. GAAP, including the guidance for freestanding financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, an entity’s own equity. The Company concluded that the declaration and distribution of the Rights did not result in recognition of an asset or liability and did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026 or Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three years ended June 30, 2026 because (i) the Rights were issued to existing shareholders as a dividend with no proceeds received, (ii) the Rights were not exercised during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and (iii) the Rights are contingently exercisable only upon the occurrence of specified events and, based on their terms, are intended to be classified in shareholders’ equity rather than as liabilities. Costs directly attributable to the adoption of the Plan (e.g., external legal, advisory, and filing fees) were recorded in general and administrative expense as incurred, consistent with the nature of the costs.
Share Repurchase Program
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, 2026, 1.5 million shares have been cumulatively repurchased for $ 595.4 million, and $ 54.6 million remained authorized for repurchase. The Company does not anticipate repurchasing shares of common stock for the foreseeable future.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
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. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Revenue, expenses, and operating income (loss) by segment are regularly reviewed by the CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments, assess current performance, and forecast future performance. Our CODM manages our business primarily by reviewing consolidated results by segment on a quarterly basis and using those results along with forecasts and other non-financial information in our annual budgeting process. The Company's CODM does not evaluate reportable segments using assets and capital expenditure information. Consistent with our internal management reporting, unallocated expenses include certain items impacting comparability. These unallocated items are not defined terms within 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 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.
Financial information concerning the Company's reportable operating segments is shown in the tables below.

16. ACQUISITIONS
On December 19, 2024, the Company transferred consideration to acquire 100 percent of the equity interests of Alline (the Alline Acquisition), its largest franchisee, consisting of 314 salons. The transaction provides Regis with a turn-key operating infrastructure and gets the Company closer to salon operations alongside franchisees, and the salon portfolio provides a testing ground for brand and operational initiatives. The transaction terminated the existing franchise arrangements between Regis and Alline, which resulted in the Company recognizing a loss of $ 0.2 million upon settlement, which is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of operating income for the year ended June 30, 2025.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination with the purchase price allocated using information available as of December 19, 2024. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values based on management’s estimates, available information, and supportable assumptions that management considered reasonable.
As of June 30, 2025, the purchase price and related allocation were revised as a result of additional information obtained and revisions to the provisional estimates of fair value, including, but not limited to, the completion of independent appraisals and valuations related to property and equipment, intangible assets, right of use assets and corresponding lease obligations. There were no adjustments made to these allocations in the year ended June 30, 2026.
The fair value of total consideration transferred by the Company upon acquisition is $ 22.6 million, as detailed below.

Contingent consideration arrangement (3) 1,000
Fair value of total consideration $ 22,621
_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) Includes cash transferred of $ 20.0 million, net of cash acquired of $ 1.4 million.
(2) The number of Common Stock ( 140,552 ) issued as part of the consideration paid for Alline was determined by dividing the $ 3.0 million by the 30 -trading day volume weighted average price of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market as of and including December 17, 2024.
(3) The contingent consideration arrangement requires Regis to pay the former owners of Alline additional cash consideration if certain 4-Wall EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA thresholds are met for each of the three subsequent annual earn-out periods as well as a cumulative 4-Wall EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA threshold for the cumulative three subsequent annual earn-out periods. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that Regis could be required to make under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $ 0 and $ 3.0 million. Regis recognized a fair value of $ 1.0 million as of June 30, 2025, which is included in other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the Company determined the value of the contingent arrangement is $ 0 . The Company recognized a gain on earn-out liability of $ 1.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2026, which is included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. 4-Wall EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and excluding corporate general and administrative expenses for acquired salons. The earn-out liability is adjusted at fair value quarterly, as needed, until settled utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation, and changes in fair value will be reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the valuation.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
(Dollars in thousands)
Current assets $ 3,630
Property and equipment 7,976
Goodwill (1) 10,252
Intangible assets (2) 3,780
Right of use assets 7,292
Other assets 56
Assumed current liabilities ( 2,352 )
Assumed lease liabilities ( 8,013 )
Fair value of total consideration $ 22,621
_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Specifically, the goodwill that will be recorded as part of the acquisition of Alline includes the following:
a. the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Alline with the operations of Regis; and
b. any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.
Goodwill is not amortized and is deductible for tax purposes. All the goodwill related to the acquisition of Alline is related to our company-owned operating segment.
(2) Intangible assets include $ 2.4 million related to the fair value of reacquired rights and $ 1.4 million related to the fair value of favorable leasehold interests, net.
a. The reacquired rights were valued using a form of the income approach where the asset's value is determined by its ability to generate future cash flows by isolating and discounting the cash flows attributable to the asset. The Company assumed a four-year life based on the weighted average remaining contract term, assuming no renewals.
b. Upon acquisition, the Company assumed lease agreements with lease payments fixed at a rate below the current market rate. As a result, a favorable lease asset of $ 1.4 million was recorded on the balance sheet. This asset represents the benefit the Company receives from having lease payments below market and will be amortized to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
The Company incurred $ 1.4 million of acquisition related costs which are included in general and administrative expense in Regis’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2025.
The following table provides revenues and operating income from Alline that are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition:
