REGIS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.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 DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 and for the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 and its consolidated results of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in 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, 2018 and other documents filed or furnished with the SEC during the current fiscal year.

Goodwill:

As of DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 and June 30, 2018, the Company-owned reporting unit had $166.9$151.1 million and $184.8 million of goodwill, respectively, and the Franchise salons reporting unit had $226.9$227.4 million and $227.9 million of goodwill, respectively. See Note 9 to the unaudited interim 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 sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018.2019.
The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of April 30. For the fiscal year 2018 annual impairment assessment, due to the transformational efforts completed during the year, the Company elected to forgo the optional Step 0 assessment and performed the quantitative impairment analysis on the Company-owned and Franchise reporting units. The Company compared the carrying value of the reporting units, including goodwill, to their estimated fair value. The results of these assessments indicated that the estimated fair value of our reporting units exceeded their carrying value.  The Franchise reporting unit had substantial headroom and the Company-owned reporting unit had headroom of approximately 24%. The fair value of the Company-owned reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis and comparable market multiples. The assumptions used in determining fair value were the number and pace of salons sold to franchisees, proceeds for salon sales, weighted average cost of capital, general and administrative expenses and utilization of net operating loss benefits. We selected the assumptions by considering our historical financial performance and trends, historical salon sale proceeds and estimated salon sale activities. The preparation of our fair value estimate includes uncertain factors and requires significant judgments and estimates which are subject to change. A 100 basis point increase in our weighted average cost of capital within the Company-owned reporting unit would result in a reduction in headroom to approximately 17%.
Other uncertain factors or events exist which may result in a future triggering event and require us to perform an interim impairment analysis with respect to the carrying value of goodwill for the Company-owned reporting unit prior to our annual assessment. These internal and external factors include but are not limited to the following:
Changes in the company-owned salon strategy,
Franchise expansion and sales opportunities,
Future market earnings multiples deterioration,
Our financial performance falls short of our projections due to internal operating factors,
Economic recession,
Reduced salon traffic, as defined by total transactions, and/or revenue,
Deterioration of industry trends,
Increased competition,
Inability to reduce general and administrative expenses as company-owned salon count potentially decreases,
Other factors causing our cash flow to deteriorate.



If the triggering event analysis indicates the fair value of the Company-owned reporting unit has potentially fallen below more than the 24% headroom, we may be required to perform an updated impairment assessment which may result in a non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of goodwill.
Assessing goodwill for impairment requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including forecasting future sales and expenses, and selecting appropriate discount rates, 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 calculatein its goodwill impairment losses of goodwill.assessment. However, if actual results are not consistent with the estimates and assumptions used in the calculations, or if there are significant changes to the Company's planned strategy for company-owned salons, the Company may be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material.
Non-Current Assets Held for Sale:

In March 2019, the Company announced that entered into a ten year lease for a new corporate headquarters and would be selling the land and buildings in Edina, MN, currently used for its headquarters. The non-current assets held for sale represent the net book value of the land of $1.7 and $1.7 million and buildings of $4.8 and $4.9 million, as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. No impairments were identified as of March 31, 2019.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted by the Company:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance for revenue recognition which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company retrospectively adopted these standards on July 1, 2018. The impact of these standards was applied to all periods presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard was recognized at the beginning of the earliest period presented. See Note 2 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the impact of the adoption of the revenue recognition guidance.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued cash flow guidance requiring restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included in the cash and cash equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows. Transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are no longer presented in the statement of cash flows and a reconciliation between the balance sheet and statement of cash flows must be disclosed. The Company retrospectively adopted this guidance on July 1, 2018. The impact of this standard was applied to all periods presented. As a result of including restricted cash in the beginning and end of period balances, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presented in the statement of cash flows increased $38.4 million, $23.5$23.6 million and $37.6 million as of June 30, 2018, DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued updated cash flow guidance clarifying cash flow classification and presentation for certain items. The Company retrospectively adopted this guidance on July 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted by the Company:

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance requiring organizations that lease assets to recognize the rights and obligations created by those leases on the consolidated balance sheet. The new standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which provides companies with the option to apply the new lease standard either at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or in the period of adoption. The Company will elect this optional transition relief amendment that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and will not restate prior periods.  The Company will also elect the package of practical expedients that do not require reassessment of whether existing contracts are or contain leases, lease classification or initial direct costs. The Company is leveraging its lease management system to facilitate the adoption of this standard.standard and is evaluating business processes and internal controls related to lease accounting to assist in the application of the new guidance. The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect the new standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial


statements but expects this adoption will result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, as substantially all of its operating lease commitments, including leases signed on behalf of franchisees, will be subject to the new guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new guidance to have a material impact on net income, cash flows or compliance with debt agreements.



2.    REVENUE RECOGNITION:

In May 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance for revenue recognition which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the amended revenue recognition guidance, ASC Topic 606, on July 1, 2018 using the full retrospective transition method which required the adjustment of each prior reporting period presented. The adjusted amounts include the application of a practical expedient that permitted the Company to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occurred prior to fiscal year 2017 when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligation, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligation. As a result of adopting this new standard, the Company is providing its updated revenue recognition policies.
    
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue:

Revenue recognized at point of sale
Company-owned salon revenues are recognized at the time when the services are provided. Product revenues for Company-owned salons are recognized when 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 customer. Gift card breakage, the amount of gift cards which will not be redeemed, is recognized proportional to redemptions using estimates based on historical redemption patterns. Product sales by the Company to its franchisees are included within product revenues in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and recorded at the time product is delivered to the franchisee. Payment for franchisee product revenue is generally collected within 30 days of delivery.

Revenue recognized over time
Franchise revenues primarily include royalties, advertising fund fees, franchise fees and other fees. 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 revenue is billed and collected monthly in arrears. Advertising fund revenues and expenditures, which must be spent on marketing and related activities per the franchise agreement,agreements, are recorded on a gross basis within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. This increases both the gross amount of reported franchise revenue and site operating 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. Upon adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, recognition of these fees is deferred until the salon opening and is then recognized over the term of the franchise agreement, typically ten years. Under previous guidance the initial franchise fees were recognized in full upon salon opening.

The following table disaggregates revenue by timing of revenue recognition and is reconciled to reportable segment revenues as follows:

Receivables relate primarily to payments due for royalties, franchise fees, advertising fees, and sales of salon services and product. The receivablereceivables balance is presented net of an allowance for expected losses (i.e., doubtful accounts), primarily related to receivables from franchisees. As of DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 and June 30, 2018, the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.0 million$15.7 and $1.2 million, respectively. ActivityThe increase in the period was not significant.allowance for doubtful accounts is due to reserving for $12.7 million of TBG receivables in the three months ended March 31, 2019 (see Note 3). Broker fees are the costs associated with using external brokers to identify new franchisees. These fees are paid upon the signing of the franchise agreement and recognized as General and Administrative expense over the term of the agreement. The adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidance did not significantly change the Company's accounting for broker fees.

Deferred revenue includes the gift card liability and deferred franchise fees for unopened salons and open salons. Gift card revenue for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1.8 and 2017 was $1.1 million and $1.3$1.9 million, respectively, and for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019 and 2018 was $4.0 and 2017 was $2.2 million and $2.7$4.6 million, respectively. Deferred franchise fees related to open salons are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. Franchise fee revenue for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 was $0.8 million$0.9 and $0.7 million, respectively, and for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019 and 2018 was $2.6 and 2017 was $1.7 million and $1.3$2.0 million.

3.TBG DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

In October 2017, the Company sold substantially all of its mall-based salon business in North America, representing 858 salons, and substantially all of its International segment, representing approximately 250 salons in the UK, to The Beautiful Group ("TBG"), an affiliate of Regent, a private equity firm based in Los Angeles, California, who operates these locations as franchise locations.

As part of the sale of the mall-based business, TBG agreed to pay for the value of certain inventory, prepaid rent and assumed specific liabilities, including lease liabilities. In March 2018, the Company entered into discussions with TBG regarding a waiver of working capital and prepaid rent payments associated with the original transaction and the financing of certain receivables to assist TBG with its cash flow and operational needs. Based on the status of these discussions as of March 31, 2018, the Company fully reserved for the working capital and prepaid rent amount of $11.7 million. In August 2018, the Company entered into promissory notes for approximately $11.7 million in working capital receivables and $8.0 million in accounts receivables, a majority of which was for inventory purchases. All notes have a maturity date of August 2, 2020. Under the working capital notes, if no default has occurred under such notes and certain other conditions are met, such notes will be forgiven as of the maturity date and will be exchanged for a three-year contingent payment right that is payable to us upon the occurrence of certain TBG monetization events. Should the Company need to record reserves against its current and future receivables from TBG these reserves would be recorded within general and administrative expenses.

For the International segment, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with TBG for minimal consideration.

The Company classified the results of its mall-based business and its International segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In connection with the sale of the mall-based business and the International segment, the Company performed an impairment assessment of the asset groups. The Company recognized net impairment charges within discontinued operations based on the difference between the expected sale prices and the carrying value of the asset groups.

The following summarizes the results of our TBG discontinued operations for the periods presented:

For the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, the $5.8$6.0 million income from discontinued operations includes $6.9 million of income tax benefits associated with the wind-down and transfer of legal entities related to discontinued operations partly offset by professional fees and $0.2 million of actuarial insurance accrual adjustments associated with the transaction.transaction, partly offset by $1.0 million of professional fees.

For the threenine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017. For the six months ended December 31, 2017,2018, included within the $40.4$51.0 million loss from discontinued operations were $29.1$40.8 million of asset impairment charges, $6.2 million of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment associated with the Company's liquidation of substantially all foreign entities with British pound denominated currencies, $2.8$4.0 million of loss from operations and $5.8$6.4 million of professional fees associated with the transaction, partly offset by a $3.5$6.4 million income tax benefit.



As part of the sale of the mall-based business, TBG agreed to pay for the value of certain inventory, prepaid rent and assumed specific liabilities, including lease liabilities. In March 2018, the Company entered into discussions with TBG regarding a waiver of working capital and prepaid rent payments associated with the original transaction and the financing of certain receivables to assist TBG with its cash flow and operational needs. Based on those discussions as of March 31, 2018, the Company fully reserved for the working capital and prepaid rent amount of $11.7 million which was recorded in discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. In August 2018, the Company entered into promissory notes for approximately $11.7 million in working capital receivables and $8.0 million in accounts receivables, a majority of which was for inventory purchases. All notes have a maturity date of August 2, 2020. Pursuant to the working capital notes, such notes would be forgiven as of the maturity date and exchanged for a three-year contingent payment right that is payable upon the occurrence of certain TBG monetization events if no default had occurred under such notes and certain other conditions are met. Based on TBG’s inability to meet the requirements of the promissory notes, including non-payment of amounts due to the Company, the Company recorded a full reserve against such notes. In addition, the Company has recorded additional reserves of approximately $11.6 million for inventory and $1.1 million for outstanding royalties that TBG has failed to pay. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has fully reserved for all amounts invoiced to TBG. The total note and receivables reserve in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 was $20.7 million and is recorded in the TBG mall location restructuring line of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. TBG's business has continued to decline. The Company continues to have conversations with TBG focused on how to assist TBG with its cash flow and operational needs.

2018.

The Company utilized the consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not TBG was a variable interest entity (VIE), and if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of TBG. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, the Company concluded that TBG is a VIE, based on the fact that the equity investment at risk in TBG is not sufficient. The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of TBG based on its exposure to the expected losses of TBG and as it is not the variable interest holder that is most closely associated within the relationship and the significance of the activities of TBG. The exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with TBG is the carrying value of the amounts due from TBG of $16.4 million as of December 31, 2018 and the guarantee of the operating leases.leases for certain TBG operated salons. As of March 31, 2019, prior to any mitigation efforts which may be available, the Company remains liable for up to $64.8 million associated with remaining TBG salon lease commitments, should TBG not perform.

The Company’s basic earnings per share is calculated as net (loss) income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding RSAs, RSUs and PSUs. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated as net (loss) income divided by weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which includes shares issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. 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.

For the three and nine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018, 859,598 common stock equivalents of dilutive common stock were included in the diluted earnings per share calculations due to the net income from continuing operations. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, 903,1072019, 1,023,038 and 1,006,589, respectively, common stock equivalents of dilutive common stock were excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculations due to the net loss from continuing operations. For the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017, 492,8892018, 541,405 and 334,062,409,646, respectively, common stock equivalents of dilutive common stock were included in the diluted earnings per share calculations due to the net income from continuing operations.

The Company is leasing the property back from Nearon for 15 years with the option to renew three times for five year periods.

This financial liability is reduced based on the rental payments made under the lease that are allocated between principal and interest. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, the current portion of the Company’s financiallease liability was $0.6 million. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, future lease payments due are as follows:

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A included in our June 30, 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the current fiscal year.
 
MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
 
Regis Corporation (RGS) owns, franchises and operates beauty salons. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, the Company owned, franchised or held ownership interests in 8,0217,838 worldwide locations. Our locations consisted of 7,9347,751 system-wide North American and International salons, and in 87 locations we maintained a non-controlling ownership interest less than 100 percent. Each of the Company’s salon concepts generally offer similar salon products and services and serve the mass market. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, we had approximately 24,00022,000 corporate employees worldwide.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to make various judgments, estimates and assumptions that could have a significant impact on the results reported in the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We base these estimates on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and (2) other materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Changes in these estimates could have a material effect on our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of the June 30, 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Notes 1 and 2 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe the accounting policies related to the valuation of goodwill, the valuation and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, estimates used in relation to tax liabilities, and deferred taxes are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial condition and results of operations. Discussion of each of these policies is contained under “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7 of our June 30, 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our updated policies on the amended revenue recognition guidance, ASC Topic 606, can be found in Note 2 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsStatements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company adopted the amended revenue recognition guidance, ASC Topic 606, on July 1, 2018 using the full retrospective transition method which required the adjustment of each prior reporting period presented. Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in detail in Notes 1 and 2 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Beginning with the period ended September 30, 2017, the mall-based business and International segment were accounted for asin discontinued operations for all periods presented. Discontinued operations are discussed at the end of this section. See Note 3 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on this transaction.

The Company realigned its field leadership team by brand during the period ended September 30, 2017.2017. An outcome of this reorganization is that the costs associated with senior district leaders were moved out of cost of goods sold and site operating expense and into G&A. This change, which affected one month of comparability during the sixnine months, does not impact the overall consolidated results. The estimated impact of the field reorganization (decreased) increased Cost of Service, Site Operating expense and General and Administrative expense by $(2.4), $(0.4) and $2.8 million, respectively, for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017.2018. This expense classification does not have a financial impact on the Company's reported operating (loss) income, reported net (loss) income or cash flows from operations.



In the past field leaders were responsible for a geographical area that included a variety of brands, with different business models, services, pay plans and guest expectations. They also served as salon managers with a home salon that they spent a large portion of their time serving guests rather than field leadership. Post-reorganization, each field leader is dedicated

In the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, the Company sold 133245 and 257,502, respectively, company-owned salons to franchisees. The impact of these transaction istransactions are as follows:

(1)    In October 2017, the Company sold substantially all of its mall-based salon business in North America, representing
858 salons, and substantially all of its International segment, representing approximately 250 salons in the UK, to The Beautiful Group (TBG).

System-wide results

As we transition to an asset-light franchise platform our results will be more impacted by our system-wide sales, which include sales by all points of distribution, whether owned by the Company or our franchisees. While we do not record sales by franchisees as revenue, and such sales are not included in our consolidated financial statements, we believe that this operating measure is important in obtaining an understanding of our financial performance. We believe system-wide sales information aids in understanding how we derive royalty revenue and in evaluating performance.

System-wide same-store sales by concept are detailed in the table below:

_____________________________
(1)System-wide same-store sales are calculated as the total change in sales for system-wide company-owned and franchise locations for more than one year (including TBG mall locations in 2019) that were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly and year-to-date system-wide same-store sales are the sum of the system-wide same-store sales computed on a daily basis. Franchise salons that do not report daily sales are excluded from same-store sales. Locations relocated within a one-mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. System-wide same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation.

Company-owned salon revenues decreased $45.8$50.8 and $84.8$135.6 million during the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, respectively, primarily due to the closure of a net 678117 salons and the sale of 520635 company-owned salons (net of buybacks) to franchisees during the twelve months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018, partly offset by2019. The decreases were also due to company-owned same-store sale increasesdecreases of 0.5%2.5% and 0.4% during the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018.2019, respectively. The company-owned same-store sales increasesdecreases were due to decreases of 6.1% and 4.8% in same-store guest transactions, partly offset by increases of 5.2%3.6% and 4.7%4.4% in average ticket prices partly offset by decreases of 4.7% and 4.2% in same-store guest transactions during the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

(2)Total is a recalculation; line items calculated individually may not sum to total due to rounding.
(3)Franchise same-store sales are calculated as the total change in sales for salons that have been a franchise location for more than one year that were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly and year-to-date franchise same-store sales are the sum of the franchise same-store sales computed on a daily basis. Franchise salons that do not report daily sales are excluded from same-store sales. Locations relocated within a one-mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. Franchise same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation. TBG is not included in 2018 same-store sales as it was not a franchise location in the previous year.

The decrease during the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 was primarily due a shift into lower margin productsto the $20.7 million charge related to fully reserving TBG's note and lower margin franchisees,all TBG receivables, increased discounting and increased inventory reserves, partly offset by higher royalties and fees. During the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, Franchise salon operations generated operating income of $18.0$6.8 million, an increasea decrease of $1.0$18.7 million compared to prior comparable period.

Corporate operating loss increased $7.1$5.2 million during the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 primarily driven by prior year's favorable impact from a $8.0 million gain associated with life insurance proceeds in connection with the passing of a former executive officer and $4.0$5.6 million of professional fees, partially offset by lower general and administrative salaries.salaries and bonuses.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Liquidity

Funds generated by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from sale of salon assets to franchisees, and our borrowing agreements are our most significant sources of liquidity. 

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, cash and cash equivalents were $97.0$71.1 million, with $89.2$65.6 and $7.7$5.6 million within the United States and Canada, respectively.

The Company's borrowing arrangements include a $295.0 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility that expires in March 2023, of which $182.0 million was available as of DecemberMarch 31, 2018.2019. See Note 10 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Uses of Cash

The Company's liquidity requirements depend on key variables, including the level of investment needed to support its business strategies, the performance of the business, capital expenditures, credit facilities and borrowing arrangements and working capital management. Capital expenditures are a component of the Company's cash flow and capital management strategy which can be adjusted in response to economic and other changes to the Company's business environment. The Company has a disciplined approach to capital allocation, which focuses on investing in key priorities to support the Company's multi-year strategic plan as discussed within Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

The 470670 basis point increase in the debt to capitalization ratio as of DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 as compared to June 30, 2018 was primarily due to decreases in shareholders' equity resulting from the repurchase of 4.06.0 million of the Company's shares for $68.3$106.3 million, as well as the debt associated with the sale leaseback of one of the Company's distribution centers.
 
Share Repurchase Program

In May 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors (Board) approved a stock repurchase program with no stated expiration date. Since that time and through DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, the Board has authorized $650.0 million to be expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock under this program. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. The timing and amounts of any repurchases depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. During the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, the Company repurchased 2.92.1 million shares for $48.9$37.9 million. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2018, 23.82019, 25.9 million shares have been cumulatively repurchased for $483.0$520.9 million, and $167.0$129.1 million remains outstanding under the approved stock repurchase program.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
There has been no material change to the factors discussed within Part II, Item 7A in the Company’s June 30, 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period. Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of DecemberMarch 31, 2018.2019.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the actions are being vigorously defended, the Company could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.
 


Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, except for the revisions to the fifth risk factor listed below:

TBG’s inability to transition and operate its salons successfully could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows, and could prevent the transaction from delivering the anticipated benefits and enhancing shareholder value.



In October 2017, we sold substantially all of our mall-based salon business in North America and substantially all of our International segment to TBG, an affiliate of Regent, which is operating them as a franchisee. The success of TBG depends upon a number of factors that are beyond our control, including, among other factors, market conditions, retail trends in mall locations, industry trends, stylist recruiting and retention, customer traffic, as defined by total transactions, the capabilities of TBG, the accuracy and reliability of TBG’s financial reporting systems, TBG's ability to maintain adequate working capital, technology and landlord issues. In particular, as of DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, prior to any mitigation efforts which may be available to us, we estimate that we remain liable for up to $75$64.8 million, which is a material reduction from October 1, 2017, under the leases for certain of these salons until the end of their various terms, and we could be required to make cash payments if TBG fails to do so, which could materially adversely impact our results of operations or cash flows.  Under the agreements with TBG we receive fees for certain services, fees for certain transition services, and product sales revenue; however, the amount of these fees is tiedhas struggled to the success of the business as operated by TBG. It is taking longer than we originally anticipated for TBG to implement themake changes intended tothat improve the business of the mall-based salons and the International business, TBGbusiness. TBG’s same store sales have declined year over year and there is no assurance that TBG will be successful in improving performance in the future. In addition, several of the services we provided to TBG under the transition services agreement ended in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, thereby reducingending this current income stream. We anticipate we will attempt to reduce related general and administrative costs and other associated expenses in connection with providing these transition services; however it will take time for us to reduce all of these costs even though the related income stream has ended and we continue to provide consulting services to TBG to continue to facilitate its transition. In connection with the purchase agreements, subleases, transition services and other related agreements with the Company, from time to time, TBG has been consistently delinquent on its payments to the Company and to third parties. TBG’s continued failure to pay landlords, suppliers, service providers and other third parties could adversely affect the Company’s relationships with such third parties and/or result in an allegation (albeit tenuous) by such third parties that the Company should be responsible for TBG’s payment obligations, which in turn could adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial condition. It is foreseeable that TBG may in the future continue to have cash flow and working capital issues, which could have significant adverse impacts on our business, including a need to record reserves on receivables from TBG.business. In August 2018, we restructured certain payments due to us from TBG in the form of promissory notes representing approximately $11.7 million in working capital receivables and $8.0 million in accounts receivables, a majority of which was for inventory payables. All notes have a maturity date of August 2, 2020. UnderPursuant to the working capital notes, if no default has occurred under such notes and certain other conditions are met, such notes willwould be forgiven as of the maturity date and will be exchanged for a three-year contingent payment right that is payable to us upon the occurrence of certain TBG monetization events.events if no default had occurred under such notes and certain other conditions are met.

In October 2018, TBG filed a voluntary insolvency proceeding involving its United Kingdom business, which its creditors approved ("CVA"). In November 2018, a group of landlords filed a legal challenge to the CVA in United Kingdom’s High Court alleging material irregularity and unfair prejudice. If the CVA is overturned, or is otherwise not implemented, it is likely that TBG’s United Kingdom business will no longer be able to trade as a going concern, which is likely to result in bankruptcy and/or administrative proceedings. Even if the CVA is implemented and the challenge overturned or a settlement reached, TBG may still not successfully achieve the cost savings and other benefits contemplated by the CVA. Negative events associated with the CVA process and challenge could adversely affect TBG’s and/or our relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers, employees, and other third parties, which in turn could adversely affect TBG’s and/or our operations and financial condition. We had previously agreed in the note documents that a CVA filing would not constitute an item of default and TBG’s debt obligations to us currently remain intact. Regardless of the outcome of the CVA,The Company foresees that TBG may in the future need to attempt to further restructure or even divest of (operationally, legally, or otherwise) its businesses, operations and obligations.obligations in order to remain a going concern. The Company has certain rights and remedies under the various agreements with TBG, including, but not limited to, utilization of collateral, litigation, reversion of the leases in respect of certain divested salons back to the Company and enforcement of a guarantee. If the divested salons were to revert, we may have difficulty supporting the businesses because of the challenges involved in quickly and sufficiently staffing the salons and corporate functions to support an influx in company-owned stores, addressing the stores’ performance issues, implementing required data privacy requirements in the United Kingdom and resuming support for the salons’ IT and marketing requirements. Overall, TBG’s inability to transition and operate the salons successfully, or its ability to make payments when due underto the promissory notesCompany or otherwise under the franchise agreements and transition service agreements,third parties, could adversely affect our business, including increased reputation risks, litigation risks, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows, and could prevent the transaction from delivering the anticipated benefits and shareholder value.
