Regis Corporation Reports Financial Results for the Second Fiscal Quarter 2026

Jim Lain, Regis Corporation's Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter results demonstrate improved execution and continued momentum, with same-store sales increasing 2.0% at Supercuts and 4.3% at company-owned salons. We delivered year-over-year improvements in operating income and adjusted EBITDA, and generated positive cash from operations for the fifth consecutive quarter, further strengthening our financial flexibility.”

Lain continued, “We remain focused on the transformation of Supercuts while continuing to optimize the performance of our company-owned salons, where we are seeing early signs of progress. At the same time, we are selectively leveraging verified operating improvements across our broader brand portfolio. This approach strengthens the shared operating backbone of each brand, positioning Regis for improving performance. We are confident in our progress and remain committed to building a stronger, more modern Regis capable of delivering long-term, sustainable growth.”

“Disciplined capital management remains a core priority as we focus on reducing our debt service and delivering long-term shareholder value,” said Kersten Zupfer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We are speaking with potential partners to evaluate refinancing opportunities as we approach the two-year anniversary of our credit agreement in June 2026.”

Revenue

Total consolidated revenue of $57.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, and $116.1 million in the first half of 2026, improved $10.4 million and $23.3 million, respectively. The improvement was driven primarily by an increase in company-owned salon revenue resulting from the Alline acquisition on December 19, 2024, partially offset by lower royalties and non-margin franchise rental income.

Operating Income

Regis reported second quarter 2026 operating income of $6.2 million, an improvement of $0.7 million compared to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Regis reported first half 2026 operating income of $12.1 million, an improvement of $4.5 million compared to $7.6 million in the first half of 2025. The year-over-year improvement in operating income was primarily driven by operating income from the Alline salons and reductions in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower royalties.

Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations

Regis reported second quarter 2026 net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $0.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. The Company reported first half 2026 net income from continuing operations of $1.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $1.6 million, or $0.68 per share, in the first half of 2025. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by an increase in company-owned salon revenue and reductions in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower royalties.

Net Income

The Company reported second quarter 2026 net income of $0.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.6 million, or $2.71 per diluted share, for the same period last year. The Company reported first half 2026 net income of $1.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.8 million, or $2.90 per diluted share, for the first half of 2025. The higher income in the prior year periods was driven primarily by income from discontinued operations, which did not recur in the current year periods.

Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter and first half 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million and $16.0 million improved $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $7.1 million and $14.8 million in the same periods last year. The improvement in both periods is primarily related to higher company-owned salon revenue and reductions in general and administrative expenses, offset partially by lower franchise royalties and non-cash fee recognition.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Segment Results

Franchise Revenue

Second quarter franchise revenue was $37.9 million, a $5.4 million, or 12.5%, decrease compared to the prior year quarter. First half 2026 franchise revenue was $76.7 million, an $11.8 million, or 13.3%, decrease compared to the first half of the prior year. Non-margin franchise rental income was the primary driver of the decline due to fewer franchise salons in the current year partially as a result of the Alline acquisition.

Royalties were $13.6 million and $27.7 million, a $1.2 million and $2.8 million, or 8.1% and 9.2%, decrease for the second quarter and first half 2026, respectively, versus the same periods last year, due primarily to fewer franchise salons.

Franchise Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter franchise adjusted EBITDA of $6.2 million decreased $0.2 million. First half 2026 franchise adjusted EBITDA of $12.6 million declined $1.8 million year-over-year. The declines primarily related to lower royalties and non-cash fees in the current year period, offset partially by lower general and administrative expenses.

Company-Owned Salon Revenue

Second quarter revenue for the company-owned salon segment increased $15.7 million versus the prior year to $19.2 million. First half 2026 revenue for the company-owned salon segment increased $35.2 million versus the prior year to $39.4 million. The year-over-year increases in revenue are driven by an increase in salon count as a result of the Alline acquisition on December 19, 2024.

Company-Owned Salon Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter and first half 2026 company-owned salon adjusted EBITDA improved $1.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, due primarily to increased contribution generated by the greater salon count as a result of the Alline acquisition.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 with $18.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $126.0 million in outstanding borrowings ($116.7 million term loan, $8.3 million paid in kind interest, and $1.0 million revolver draw) and available total liquidity of $27.4 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2025, totaled $3.9 million, an improvement of $3.1 million from the six months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher operating income in the current year period.
