BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Regis Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and its consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the interim periods. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any discussed in the notes below. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and cash flows for the full year.

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 and other documents filed or furnished with the SEC during the current fiscal year.

Impact of COVID-19 on Business Operations:

During the period ended December 31, 2020, the global coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") had an adverse impact on operations, including prolonged government mandated salon closures in California and Ontario, in addition to other U.S. states and Canadian provinces. As of January 25, 2021, salons in California were allowed to re-open.The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact salon guest visits resulting in a significant reduction in revenue and traffic. Due to the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company faces a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making judgments and estimates needed to apply the Company's significant accounting policies. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions.

Salon Long-Lived Asset and Right of Use Asset Impairment Assessments:

The Company assesses impairment of long-lived salon assets and right of use 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 the use of the assets. The first step is to assess recoverability, and in doing that, the undiscounted cash flows are compared to the carrying value. If the undiscounted estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company calculates an impairment charge based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. The fair value of the salon long-lived asset group is estimated using market participant methods based on the best information available. See Note 10 for further discussion related to the right of use asset impairment.

Judgments made by management related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and the ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the assets, changes in economic conditions, and changes in operating performance. As the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of long-lived assets are assessed, these factors could cause the Company to realize material impairment charges.

Long-lived asset impairment charges, including right of use and salon property and equipment, of $3.2 and $9.0 million were recorded in the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and is separately stated on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Of the total long-lived asset impairment charges, $1.5 and $6.0 million, respectively, were allocated to the right of use asset and $1.7 and $3.0 million, respectively, were allocated to salon property and equipment. Long-lived salon property and equipment asset impairment charges of $1.1 and $2.6 million were recorded during the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, and are recorded in Depreciation and amortization in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Goodwill:

As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Franchise reporting unit had $229.0 and $227.5 million, respectively, of goodwill. For further information, see Note 9 of the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company assesses goodwill impairment on an annual basis, during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter, 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. An interim impairment analysis was not required in the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of April 30. For the fiscal year 2020 annual impairment assessment, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to forgo the optional Step 0 assessment and performed the quantitative impairment analysis on the Franchise reporting unit. The Company compared the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value. The result of the assessment indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 50 percent. For the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a combination of both a discounted cash flows approach and a market approach. The key assumptions utilized in the analysis were the number of salons to be sold to franchisees and the discount rate. If a future triggering event occurs or if during the Company's annual impairment assessment the fair value of the Franchise reporting unit has decreased significantly, it may result in a non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of goodwill.

Depreciation:

Depreciation expense in the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 includes $1.3 and $2.6 million of asset retirement obligations, which are cash expenses.

Minority Interest:

In December 2020, the Company purchased its non-controlling interest in Roosters from the minority shareholders. The Company paid $0.6 million to obtain 100% ownership. The payment is recorded in cash used in financing activities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
