INDEX
PART I
Item 1. Business
General:
Regis Corporation owns, franchises and operates beauty salons. The Company is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "RGS."

As of June 30, 2014,2016, the Company owned, franchised or held ownership interests in 9,6749,483 locations worldwide. The Company's locations consist of 9,4569,288 company-owned and franchised salons and 218195 locations in which we maintain a non-controlling ownership interest of less than 100%. Each of the Company's salon concepts generally offer similar salon products and services and serve the mass marketplace.
Service revenues comprise approximately 79% of total company-owned revenues. The major services supplied by the Company's salons are haircutting and styling (including shampooing and conditioning), hair coloring and other services. The percentage of company-owned service revenues in each fiscal year 2014, 20132016, 2015, and 20122014 attributable to haircutting and styling, hair coloring and other services were 72%, 19% and 9%, respectively.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company redefined its operating segments to reflect how the chief operating decision maker evaluates the business as a result of restructuring the Company's North American field organization. The Company now reports its operations in three operating segments: North American Value, North American Premium and International. Prior to this change in organizational structure, the Company had two reportable operating segments: North American salons and International salons.
The Company's North American Value salon operations are comprised of 6,1165,784 company-owned salons and 2,1792,496 franchised salons operating in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The Company's North American Premium salon operations are comprised of 801680 company-owned salons operating in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The Company's International operations are comprised of 360328 company-owned salons in the United Kingdom. The Company's salons operate primarily under the trade names of SmartStyle, Supercuts, MasterCuts, Regis Salons, and Cost Cutters, and they generally serve two categories within the industry.industry, value and premium. SmartStyle, Supercuts, MasterCuts, Cost Cutters, and other regional trade names are generally within the value category, offering high quality, convenience, and affordably priced hair care and beauty services and retail products. Regis Salons, among other trade names, are in the premium category, offering upscale hair care and beauty services and retail products. The Company's North American Value business is located mainly in strip center locations and Walmart Supercenters and the North American Premium business is primarily in mall basedmall-based locations. During fiscal years 20142016 and 2013,2015, the number of guest visits at the Company's company-owned salons approximated 7972 and 8576 million, respectively. Concurrent with the change in reportable operating segments, the Company revised its prior period financial information to conform comparable financial information to the new segment structure. Historical financial information presented herein reflects this change.
Financial information about our segments and geographic areas for fiscal years 2014, 2013,2016, 2015, and 20122014 are included in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, of this Form 10-K.
Since fiscal year 2012, the Company has been evaluating its portfolio of assets, investments, and businesses, with the strategic objective of simplifying our business model, focusing on our core business of operating beauty salons, improving our long-term profitability and maximizing shareholder value. This evaluation led to several disposals during fiscal year 2013. In April 2013, the Company sold Hair Club for Men and Women (Hair Club) for $164.8 million. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on Hair Club. In September 2012, the Company sold its 46.7% equity interest in Provalliance for $103.4 million. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on Provalliance. As the Company continues this strategic evaluation, future sales of non-core assets could impact our operations by decreasing total revenues, operating expenses, and income or loss from equity method investments.
Industry Overview:
The hair salon market is highly fragmented, with the vast majority of locations independently owned and operated. However, the influence of salon chains, both franchised and company-owned, continues to grow within this market. Management believes that salon chains will continue to have significant influencesinfluence on this market and will continue to increase their presence.
In every area in which the Company has a salon, there are competitors offering similar hair care services and products at similar prices. The Company faces competition from smaller chains of salons such as Great Clips, Fantastic Sams, and Sport Clips, independently owned salons, and department store salons located within malls.malls, booth rentals and blow dry bars.
At the individual salon level, barriers to entry are low; however, barriers exist for chains to expand nationally due to the need to establish systems and infrastructure, to recruit experienced field and salon management and stylists, and to lease quality sites. The principal factors of competition in the hair care category are quality, consistency and convenience. The Company continually strives to improve its performance in each of these areas and to create additional points of differentiation versus the competition.

General. The Company hasWe have various franchising programs supporting its 2,179our 2,496 franchised salons as of June 30, 2014,2016, consisting mainly of Supercuts, Cost Cutters, First Choice Haircutters, and Magicuts.

The Company provides itsWe provide our franchisees with a comprehensive system of business training, stylist education, site approval and lease negotiation, construction management services, professional marketing, promotion, and advertising programs, and other forms of support designed to help the franchiseefranchisees build a successful business.businesses.
Standards of Operations. The Company does not control the day to dayday-to-day operations of its franchisees, including employment, benefits and wage determination, establishing prices to charge for products and services, business hours, personnel management, and capital expenditure decisions. However, the franchise agreements afford certain rights to the Company, such as the right to approve locations, suppliers and the sale of a franchise. Additionally, franchisees are required to conform to the Company's established operational policies and procedures relating to quality of service, training, salon design and decor, and trademark usage. The Company's field personnel make periodic visits to franchised salons to ensure that they are operating in conformity with the standards for each franchising program. All of the rights afforded to the Company with regard to franchised operations allow the Company to protect its brands, but do not allow the Company to control the franchise operations or make decisions that have a significant impact on the success of the franchised salons. The Company’s franchise agreements do not give the Company any right, ability or potential to determine or otherwise influence any terms and/or conditions of employment of franchisees’ employees (except for those, if any, that are specifically related to quality of service, training, salon design, decor, and trademark usage), including, but not limited to, franchisees’ employees’ wages employeeand benefits,
hours of work, scheduling, leave programs, seniority rights, promotional or transfer opportunities, layoff/recall arrangements, grievance and dispute resolution procedures, uniforms, and/or discipline and discharge.
Franchise Terms. Pursuant to a franchise agreement with the Company, each franchisee pays an initial fee for each store and ongoing royalties to the Company. In addition, for most franchise concepts, the Company collects advertising funds from franchisees and administers the funds on behalf of the concept.concepts. Franchisees are responsible for the costs of leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, equipment, supplies, inventory, payroll costs and certain other items, including initial working capital. The majority of franchise agreements provide the Company a right of first refusal if the store is to be sold and the franchisee must obtain the Company's approval in all instances where there is a sale of a franchise location.
Additional information regarding each of the major franchised brands is listed below:
Supercuts
Supercuts franchise agreements have a perpetual term, subject to termination of the underlying lease agreement or termination of the franchise agreement by either the Company or the franchisee. All new franchisees enter into development agreements, which give them the right to enter into a defined number of franchise agreements. These franchise agreements are site specific. The development agreement provides limited territorial protection for the stores developed under those franchise agreements. Older franchisees have grandfathered expansion rights which allow them to develop stores outside of development agreements and provide them with greater territorial protections in their markets. The Company has a comprehensive impact policy that resolves potential conflicts among Supercuts franchisees and/or the Company's Supercuts locations regarding proposed store sites.
Cost Cutters, First Choice Haircutters, and Magicuts
The majority of existing Cost Cutters franchise agreements have a 15 year term with a 15 year option to renew (at the option of the franchisee), while the majority of First Choice Haircutters franchise agreements have a ten year term with a five year option to renew. The majority of Magicuts franchise agreements have a term equal to the greater of five years or the
current initial term of the lease agreement with an option to renew for two additional five year periods. The current franchise agreement is site specific. Franchisees may enter into development agreements with the Company which provide limited territorial protection.
Franchisee Training. The Company provides new franchisees with training, focusing on the various aspects of storesalon management, including operations, personnel management, marketing fundamentals, and financial controls. Existing franchisees receive training, counseling and information from the Company on a continuous basis. The Company provides storesalon managers and stylists with extensive technical training for Supercuts franchises.
Salon Markets and Marketing:
Company-Owned Salons
The Company utilizes various marketing vehicles for its salons, including traditional advertising, guest relationship management, digital channels and promotional/pricing based programs. A predetermined allocation of revenue is used for such programs. Most marketing vehicles including radio, print, online, digital and television advertising are developed and supervised at the Company's Salon Support headquarters; however, the majority of advertising is created for our local markets. The Company reviews its brand strategy with the intent to create more clear communication platforms, identities and differentiation points for our brands to drive consumer preference.
Franchised Salons
Most franchise concepts maintain separate advertising funds that provide comprehensive marketing and sales support for each system. The Supercuts advertising fund is the Company's largest advertising fund and is administered by a council consisting of primarily franchisee representatives. The council has overall control of the advertising fund's expenditures and operates in accordance with terms of the franchise operating and other agreements. All stores, company-owned and franchised, contribute to the advertising funds, the majority of which are allocated to the contributing market for media placement and local marketing activities. The remainder is allocated for the creation of national advertising and system-wide activities.
Affiliated Ownership Interests:
The Company maintains ownership interests in beauty schools and salons. The primary ownership interest is a 54.5%54.6% interest in Empire Education Group, Inc.

interest in the beauty school industry. Additionally, we utilize our EEG relationship to recruit stylists straight from beauty school.
In addition, the Company has a 27.1% ownership interest in MY Style, which is accounted for as a cost method investment. MY Style operates salons in Japan.

Governmental Regulations:
The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and provincial laws affecting its business as well as a variety of regulatory provisions relating to the conduct of its beauty related business, including health and safety.
In the United States, the Company's franchise operations are subject to the Federal Trade Commission's Trade Regulation Rule on Franchising (the FTC Rule) and by state laws and administrative regulations that regulate various aspects of franchise operations and sales. The Company's franchises are offered to franchisees by means of an offering circular/disclosure document containing specified disclosures in accordance with the FTC Rule and the laws and regulations of certain states. The Company has registered its offering of franchises with the regulatory authorities of those states in which it offers franchises and in which such registration is required. State laws that regulate the franchisor-franchisee relationship presently exist in a substantial number of states and, in certain cases, apply substantive standards to this relationship. Such laws may, for example, require that the franchisor deal with the franchisee in good faith, may prohibit interference with the right of free association among franchisees and may limit termination of franchisees without payment of reasonable compensation. The Company believes that the current trend is for government regulation of franchising to increase over time. However, such laws have not had, and the Company does not expect such laws to have, a significant effect on the Company's operations.
In Canada, the Company's franchise operations are subject to franchise laws and regulations in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The offering of franchises in Canada occurs by way of a disclosure document, which contains certain disclosures required by the applicable provincial laws. The provincial franchise laws and regulations primarily focus on disclosure requirements, although each requires certain relationship requirements such as a duty of fair dealing and the right of franchisees to associate and organize with other franchisees.
The Company believes it is operating in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing all of its operations.
The Company maintains an ownership interest in EEG. Beauty schools derive a significant portion of their revenue from student financial assistance originating from the U.S. Department of Education's Title IV Higher Education Act of 1965. For the students to receive financial assistance at the school, the beauty schools must maintain eligibility requirements established by the U.S. Department of Education.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The significantAn inability to continue to execute on our strategy and build on foundational initiatives we havewe've implemented and recent changes in our management and organizational structure may continue tocould adversely impact our operating results.
During fiscal year 2013, the Company began executing upon a number of significant foundational initiatives to support and focus on its business strategies to return the Company to sustainable long-term growth and profitability. The Company has since rolled out new POS systems and salon workstations in all of its North American salons, restructured the Company’s North American field organization, standardized plan-o-grams and simplified its retail product assortments, and enhanced its asset protection capabilities. In addition, the Company’s management engaged in a strategic review of non-core assets to focus on our core business of operating beauty salons, improving long-term profitability and maximizing shareholder value.
These initiatives correspond with changes in our executive management team over the last two years. These changes have driven change in our business and our mid-level leadership, which will take time to produce consistent results. In addition, now that our new executive management team is substantially in place, it could be disruptive to our business if one of our executive management members left the Company with little notice.
During fiscal year 2014, our operating results were negatively impacted as a result of the foundational changes the Company implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, our same-store sales declined 4.8% from the comparable prior period. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $34.9 million associated with the Regis salon concept, non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges of $18.3 million and $84.4 million of non-cash charges to establish a valuation allowance against the United States (U.S.) and United Kingdom (U.K.) deferred tax assets. If we are unable to reverse these trends and effectively execute upon our foundational initiatives, our financial results may continue to be negatively affected and we may be required to take future impairment charges. Such impairments could be material to our consolidated balance sheet and results of operations.
If we continue to have negative same-store sales our business and results of operations may be affected.operating results.
Our success depends, in part, uponon our ability to improve sales, as well as both cost of service and product and operating margins. Comparable same-storeSame-store sales are affected by average ticket and same-store guest visits. A variety of factors affect same-store guest visits, including the guest experience, staffing and retention of stylists and salon leaders, fashion trends, competition, current economic conditions, changes in our product assortment, the effectiveness of marketing programs and weather conditions. These factors may cause our comparable same-store sales to differ materially from prior periods and from our expectations. Our comparable
Since fiscal year 2013, we have gone through significant change as we executed upon a number of foundational initiatives to support and focus on our business strategies to return the Company to sustainable long-term growth and profitability.
These foundational changes were disruptive to our business. In fiscal 2014 and 2015, same-store sales results for fiscal year 2014 declined 4.8% and 0.3%, respectively, compared to the prior year. While fiscal year 2013. If negative2016 same-store sales growth of 0.2% represents improved trends, there can be no assurance we will be able to successfully execute on our business strategy in fiscal 2017 and beyond to achieve long-term growth, profitability and a broader scale turn. We will also need to continue to refine our strategy as market dynamics continue to evolve. If our efforts are not effective, our same-store sales, margins and we are unable to offset the impact with operational savings, our financial resultsreturn on invested capital may be further affectedadversely affected.
In addition, the unexpected loss of any of our executive leadership team members could adversely affect the momentum we have achieved in executing on our business strategies and we may be required to take impairment charges. Such impairments could be material toadversely affect our consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. During fiscal years 2014 and 2012, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $34.9 and $67.7 million, respectively, both
associated with our Regis salon concept. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, we recorded fixed asset impairment charges of $18.3, $8.2 and $6.6 million, respectively.business.
Our business is based on the success of our salons which is driven by the success of our stylists. It is important for us to attract, train and retain talented stylists.stylists and salon leaders.
Guest loyalty is highly dependent upon the styliststylists who is providing services toserve our guests. Our main objectiveIn order to profitably grow our business, it is important for us to attract, train and retain talented stylists and salon leaders and to adequately staff our salons. Because the salon industry is highly-fragmented and comprised of many independent operators, the market for stylists is highly competitive. In addition, increases in minimum wage requirements may impact the number of stylists considering careers outside the beauty industry. In some markets we have experienced a shortage of qualified stylists. Offering competitive wages, benefits, education and training programs are important elements to attracting and retaining great stylists. In addition, due to challenges facing the for-profit education industry, cosmetology schools, including our guestsjoint venture EEG, have experienced declines in enrollment, revenues and profitability in recent years. If the cosmetology school industry sustains further declines in enrollment or some schools close entirely, or if stylists leave feeling satisfied and wanting to return. To ensurethe beauty industry, we expect that we would have increased difficulty staffing our guestssalons in some markets. If we are receiving the best possible care, we need to focus onnot successful in attracting, training and retaining highly qualified stylists. To continue to be successful in the future we will need to continue to offer competitive wages, benefits and education and training programs to attract and retain talented stylists. Any shortcomings by stylists or the trainingin staffing our salons, our same-store sales could decline and guidance they receive, particularly an issue affecting the quality of the guest service experience or compliance with safety and health regulations, may be attributed to the Company as a whole, thus damaging our reputation and brand equity and potentially affecting our results of operations.operations could be adversely affected.
Changes in regulatory and statutory laws, such as increases in the minimum wage and changes that make collective bargaining easier, recent changes to overtime requirements, and the costs of compliance and non-compliance with such laws, may result in increased costs to our business.
With 9,6749,483 locations and approximately 49,00045,000 employees worldwide, our financial results can be adversely impacted by regulatory or statutory changes in laws. Due to the number of people we employ, laws that increase minimum wage rates, employment taxes, overtime requirements or increase costs to provide employee benefits may result in additional costs to our Company.
A number of states and cities in which we do business have recently increased or are considering increasing the minimum wage, with increases generally phased over several years depending upon the size of the employer. Minimum wage rate increases could significantlyThe Department of Labor has approved changes, effective December 1, 2016, to the classification of employees deemed to be exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which are designed to increase the number of employees eligible to receive overtime pay. Increases in minimum wages and overtime pay increase our costs, and our ability to offset these increases in minimum wage rates through price increases is limited. In fact, increases in minimum wages increased our costs throughout fiscal 2014, 2015 and 2016. In addition, changes in labor laws could increase the likelihood of some or all of our employees being subjected to greater organized labor influence. If a significant portion of our employees were to become unionized, it could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Increases in the minimum wagewages, overtime requirements and unionization could also have an adverse efforteffect on the performance of our franchisees, especially if our franchisees are treated as a "joint employer" with us by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) or as a large employer under minimum wage statuesstatutes because of their affiliation with us. With respect to the NLRB, it is anticipated that its current standard for joint employer relationships may become more lenient and, as such,
we may face an increased risk of being alleged to be a joint employer with our franchisees. In addition, we must comply with state employment laws, including the California Labor Code, which has stringent requirements and penalties for non-compliance.
WeIn addition to employment laws, we are also subject to thea wide range of federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations, including those affecting public companies, product manufacture and sale, and governing the franchisor-franchisee relationship, among others.in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Compliance with new, complex and changing laws may cause our expenses to increase. In addition, any non-compliance with laws or regulations could result in penalties, fines, product recalls and enforcement actions or otherwise restrict our ability to market certain products or attract or retain employees, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to manage cyber threats and protect the security of sensitive information about our guests, employees, vendors or company, we could be subject to business disruption, negative publicity, costly government enforcement actions or private litigation and our reputation could suffer.
The nature of our business involves processing, transmission and storage of personal information about our guests as well as employees, vendors and our Company. Cyber-attacks designed to gain access to sensitive information by breaching mission critical systems of large organizations and their third party vendors are constantly evolving, and high profile electronic security breaches leading to unauthorized release of sensitive guest information have occurred at a number of large U.S. companies in recent years. Our efforts, and those of our third party vendors, to protect sensitive guest and employee information may not be successful in preventing a breach in our systems, or detecting and responding to a breach on a timely basis. As a result of a security incident or breach in our systems, our systems could be interrupted or damaged, or sensitive information could be accessed by third parties. If that happened, our guests could lose confidence in our ability to protect their personal information, which could cause them to stop visiting our salons altogether. Such events could lead to lost future sales and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, as the regulatory environment relating to retailers and other companies' obligations to protect sensitive data becomes stricter, a material failure on our part to comply with applicable regulations could subject us to fines or other regulatory sanctions and potentially to lawsuits. These laws are changing rapidly and vary among jurisdictions. Furthermore, while our franchisees are independently responsible for data security at franchised locations, a breach of guest or vendor data at a franchised location could also negatively affect public perception of our brands. More broadly, our incident response preparedness and disaster recovery planning efforts may be inadequate or ill-suited for a security incident and we could suffer disruption of operations or adverse effects to our operating results.
We could be subject to changes in tax rates, the adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and other foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our tax provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are subject to the examination of our income tax returns, payroll taxes and other tax matters by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes and payroll tax accruals. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of these examinations. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical tax provisions and employment taxes. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements in the period or periods for which that determination is made.
Our effective income tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in the mix of earnings in countries with different statutory tax rates, changes in tax laws, the outcome of income tax audits, and any repatriation of non-U.S. earnings for which we have not previously provided for U.S. taxes.
Changes to healthcare laws in the U.S. may increase the number of employees who participate in our healthcare plans, which may significantly increase our healthcare costs and negatively impact our operating results.
We offer comprehensive healthcare coverage to eligible employees in the United States. Historically, a majority of our eligible employees do not participate in our healthcare plans. Due to recent changes to healthcare laws in the United States pursuant to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it is possible that enrollment in the Company’s healthcare plans may increase as a result ofemployees continue to assess their healthcare alternatives (and as individual penalties for failing to have insurance increase) and if provisions regarding automatic enrollment of new eligible employees.employees become effective in the future. Furthermore, potential fees and or penalties may be assessed as a result of individuals either not being offered healthcare coverage within a limited timeframe or if coverage offered does not meet minimum care and affordability standards. An increase in the number of
employees who elect to participate in our healthcare plans, new ACA requirements or if the Company fails to comply with one or more provisions of ACA may significantly increase our healthcare-related costs and negatively impact our operating results.
If we fail to protect the security of sensitive information about our guests, employees, vendors or company, we could be subject to negative publicity, costly government enforcement actions or private litigation and our reputation could suffer.
The nature of our business involves processing, transmission and storage of personal information about our guests as well as employees, vendors and our Company. Cyber-attacks designed to gain access to sensitive information by breaching mission critical systems of large organizations are constantly evolving, and high profile electronic security breaches leading to unauthorized release of sensitive guest information have occurred recently at a number of large U.S. companies. Our efforts to protect sensitive guest and employee information may not be successful in preventing a breach in our systems. As a result of a breach in our systems, our guests could lose confidence in our ability to protect their personal information, which could cause
them to stop visiting our salons altogether. Such events could lead to lost future sales and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, as the regulatory environment relating to retailers and other companies' obligation to protect sensitive data becomes stricter, a material failure on our part to comply with applicable regulations could subject us to fines or other regulatory sanctions and potentially to lawsuits. These laws are changing rapidly and vary between jurisdictions. In addition, while our franchisees are independently responsible for data security at franchised locations, a breach of guest or vendor data at a franchised location could also negatively affect public perception of our brands.
We rely heavily on our management information systems. If our systems fail to perform adequately or if we experience an interruption in their operation, our results of operations may be affected.
The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our management information systems. We rely heavily on our management information systems to collect daily sales information and guest demographics, generate payroll information, monitor salon performance, manage salon staffing and payroll costs, inventory control and other functions. Certain of our management information systems are developed and maintained by external vendors, including our POS system. In addition, certain of our systems are outdated or of limited functionality. The failure of our management information systems to perform as we anticipate, or to meet the continuously evolving needs of our business, could disrupt our business and may adversely affect our operating results.
Failure to control costsIf our joint venture with Empire Education Group is unsuccessful, our financial results may adversely affect our operating results.be affected.
We musthave a joint venture arrangement with Empire Education Group (EEG), an operator of accredited cosmetology schools. Due to significantly lower financial projections resulting from continued declines in EEG’s enrollment, revenue and profitability we recorded a $13.0 million non-cash impairment charge in the quarter ended December 31, 2015, resulting in a full-impairment of our investment. If EEG is unsuccessful in executing its business plan, or if economic, regulatory and other factors, including declines in enrollment, revenue and profitability continue for the for-profit secondary education market, our financial results may be affected by certain potential liabilities related to control our expense structure. Failure to manage our cost of product, labor and benefit rates, advertising and marketing expenses, operating lease costs, other store expenses or indirect spending could delay or prevent us from achieving increased profitability or otherwise adversely affect our operating results.this joint venture.
We rely on external vendors.
We rely on various external vendors for products and services critical to our operations.
Our dependence on vendors exposes us to operational, reputational, financial, and compliance risk. Our vendors are also responsible for the security of certain Company data. In the event that one of our key vendors becomes unable to continue to provide products and services, or their systems fail, or are compromised or the quality of their systems deteriorate, we may suffer operational difficulties and financial loss.
ChangesConsumer shopping trends and changes in manufacturers'manufacturer choice of distribution channels may negatively affect ourboth service and product revenues.
The retail products we sell are licensed to be carried exclusively by professional salons. The products we purchase for saleOur North American Value business is located mainly in ourstrip center locations and Walmart Supercenters and the North American Premium business is primarily in mall-based locations. Our salons are purchased pursuantpartly dependent on the volume of traffic around these locations in order to purchase orders, as opposedgenerate both service and product revenues. We've experienced a proliferation of alternative channels of distribution, like blow dry bars, booth rental facilities, discount brick-and-mortar and online professional products retailers, and manufacturers selling direct to long-term contractsconsumers online. Also, product manufacturers may decide to utilize these other distribution channels to a larger extent than in the past and they generally can be terminated byhave the producerright to terminate relationships with us without much advance notice. ShouldIn some shopping malls, we have experienced declines in traffic due to changes in consumer preferences favoring locations other than malls.

In addition as e-commerce evolvessalons, and expands,in turn, our product sales could negativelyrevenues may be impacted if we are unable to sell retail products in a similar fashion.
If we fail to comply with any of the covenants in our financing arrangements, we may not be able to access our existing revolving credit facility, and we may face an accelerated obligation to repay our indebtedness.
We have several financing arrangements that contain financial and other covenants. If we fail to comply with any of the covenants, it may cause a default under one or more of our financing arrangements, which could limit our ability to obtain additional financing under our existing credit facility, require us to pay higher levels of interest or accelerate our obligations to repay our indebtedness.adversely affected.
Our continued success depends in part on the success of our franchisees, who operate independently.
As of June 30, 2014,2016, approximately 23%26% of our salons are franchised locations. We derive revenues associated with our franchised locations from royalties, service fees and product sales to franchised locations. Our financial results are therefore dependent in part upon the operational and financial success of our franchisees. As we increase our focus on our franchise business, our dependence on our franchisees grows.
We have limited control over how our franchisees’ businesses are run. Though we have established operational standards and guidelines, they own, operate and oversee the daily operations of their salon locations. If franchisees do not successfully operate their salons in compliance with our standards, our brand reputation and image could be harmed and our financial results could be affected.
In addition, our franchisesfranchisees are subject to the same general economic risks as our Company, and their results are influenced by competition, market trends, and disruptions in their markets due to severe weather and other external events. They may also be limited in their ability to open new locations by an inability to secure adequate financing, especially since many of them are small businesses with much more limited access to financing than our Company, or by the limited supply of favorable real estate for new salon locations. A deterioration in the financial results of our franchisees, or a failure of our
franchisees to renew their franchise agreements, could adversely affect our operating results through decreased royalty payments, fees and product revenues.
If we are not able to successfully compete in our business markets, our financial results may be affected.
Competition on a market by market basis remains challenging as many smaller chain competitors are franchise systems with local operating strength in certain markets.markets and the hair salon industry as a whole is fragmented and highly competitive for customers, stylists and prime locations. Therefore, our ability to attract guests, raise prices and secure suitable locations in certain markets can be adversely impacted by this competition. Our strategies for competing are complicated by the fact that we have multiple brands in multiple segments, which compete on different factors.
Furthermore, our reputation is critical to our ability to compete and succeed. Our reputation may be damaged by negative publicity on social media or other channels regarding the quality of services we provide. It may also be damaged by factors that are mostly or entirely out of our control, including actions by our franchisees. If we are not able to successfully compete, our ability to grow same-store sales and increase our revenue and earnings may be impaired.

Failure to simplify and standardize our operating processes across our brands could have a negative impact on our financial results.
Standardization of operating processes across our brands, marketing and products will enable us to simplify our operating model and decrease our costs. Failure to do so could adversely impact our ability to grow revenue and realize further efficiencies within our results of operations.
Changes in our key relationships may adversely affect our operating results.
We maintain key relationships with certain companies, including Walmart. In particular, we have 2,7002,808 SmartStyle/Cost Cutters salons within Walmart locations, including 8851 salons opened during fiscal year 2014.2016 (net of relocations). The continued operation and growth of this business is dependent on our relationship with Walmart. In addition, our company-owned locations are concentrated with leases with certain major regional and national landlords. Termination, modification or modificationmismanagement, of any of these relationships could significantly reduce our revenues and have a material and adverse impact on our business, our operating results and our ability to grow.

Changes in the for-profit secondary educational market have had negativegeneral economic environment may impact our business impacts including declines in enrollment, revenues and profitability. If our joint venture arrangement with EEG is not successful, we may have a limited ability to terminate or modify this arrangement. If our joint venture with EEG is terminated, there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract new joint venture partners to continue the activities or to operate that business independently.
During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, we recorded noncash impairments of $17.9 and $19.4 million, respectively, related to our investment in EEG. Due to economic, regulatory and other factors, including declines in enrollment, revenue and profitability in the for-profit secondary educational market, we may be required to take additional noncash impairment charges related to our investments and such noncash impairments could be material to our consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. During fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012, we recorded our share of pre-tax noncash impairment charges recorded by EEG for goodwill and fixed and intangible assets of $21.2, $2.1 and $8.9 million, respectively. EEG may be required to take additional noncash impairment charges related to long-lived assets and goodwill or establish valuation allowances against certain of its deferred tax assets and our share of such noncash impairment charges or valuation allowances could be material to our consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. EEG does not have any goodwill recorded as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, our share of EEG's deferred tax assets was $7.8 million.

Item 2. Properties
The Company's corporate offices are headquartered in a 170,000 square foot, three building complex in Edina, Minnesota that is owned by the Company.
The Company also operates small offices in Edina, Minnesota; New York, New York; Toronto, Canada; and Coventry and London, England; and Chattanooga, Tennessee.England. These offices are occupied under long-term leases.
The Company owns distribution centers located in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Salt Lake City, Utah. The Chattanooga facility currently utilizes 230,000 square feet while the Salt Lake City facility utilizes 210,000 square feet. The Salt Lake City facility can be expanded to 290,000 square feet to accommodate future growth.
The Company operates all of its salon locations under leases or license agreements. Substantially all of its North American locations in regional malls are operating under leases with an original term of at least ten years. Salons operating within strip centers and Walmart Supercenters have leases with original terms of at least five years, generally with the ability to renew, at the Company's option, for one or more additional five year periods. Salons operating within department stores in Canada and Europe operate under license agreements, while freestanding or shopping center locations in those countries have real property leases comparable to the Company's North American locations.
The Company also leases the premises in which approximately 80%84% of our franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with the franchisees. These leases have a five year initial term and one or more five year renewal options. All lease costs are passed through to the franchisees. Remaining franchisees who do not enter into sublease arrangements with the Company negotiate and enter into leases on their own behalf.
None of the Company's salon leases are individually material to the operations of the Company and the Company expects that it will be able to renew its leases on satisfactory terms as they expire or identify and secure other suitable locations. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 3. 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.
In addition, the Company was a nominal defendant, and nine current and former directors and officers of the Company were named defendants, in a shareholder derivative action in Minnesota state court. The derivative shareholder action alleged that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with their approval of certain executive compensation arrangements and certain related party transactions. The Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee to investigate the claims and allegations made in the derivative action, and to decide on behalf of the Company whether the claims and allegations should be pursued. In April 2014, the Special Litigation Committee issued a report and concluded the claims and allegations should not be pursued, and in June 2014 the Special Litigation Committee filed a motion requesting the court dismiss the shareholder derivative action.

In May 2000, the Company's Board of Directors (Board) approved a stock repurchase program. Originally,program with no stated expiration date. Since that time and through June 30, 2016, the programBoard has authorized up to $50.0$450.0 million to be expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock. The Board elected to increasestock under this maximum to $100.0 million in August 2003, to $200.0 million on May 3, 2005 and to $300.0 million on April 26, 2007.program. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will dependdepends on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. Historically, repurchases to date have been made primarily to eliminate the dilutive effect of shares issued in conjunction with acquisitions, restricted stock grants and stock option exercises. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date. As of June 30, 2014, a total accumulated 7.72016, 18.4 million shares have been cumulatively repurchased for $241.3 million.

Item 7. 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.
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Regis Corporation owns, franchises and operates beauty salons. As of June 30, 2014,2016, the Company owned, franchised or held ownership interests in 9,6749,483 locations worldwide. The Company's locations consist of 9,4569,288 company-owned and franchised salons and 218195 locations in which we maintain a non-controlling ownership interest of less than 100%. Each of the Company's salon concepts generally offer similar salon products and services and serve the mass market. See discussion within Part I, Item 1.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Beginning with the period ended September 30, 2012, the Hair Restoration Centers reportable segment was accounted for as a discontinued operation. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. All comparable periods reflect Hair Restoration Centers as a discontinued operation. Explanations are primarily for North American Value, unless otherwise noted. Discontinued operations are discussed at the end of this section.
Beginning in fiscal year 2014, costs associated with field leaders, excluding salons within the North American Premium segment, that were previously recorded within General and Administrative expense are now categorized within Cost of Service and Site Operating expense as a result of the field reorganization that took place in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. Previously, field leaders did not work on the salon floor daily. As reorganized, field leaders now spend most of their time on the salon floor leading and mentoring stylists, and serving guests. As a result, district and senior district leader labor costs are now reported within Cost of Service rather than General and Administrative expenses, and their travel costs are reported within Site Operating expenses rather than General and Administrative expenses.
Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company redefined its operating segments to reflect how the chief operating decision maker evaluates the business subsequent to the restructuring of its North American field organization that took place in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 and was completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. See Notes 1 and 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Consolidated revenues are primarily comprised of service and product revenues, as well as franchise royalties and fees. Fluctuations in these three major revenue categories, operating expenses and other income and expense were as follows:
Service Revenues
The $45.7 million decrease in service revenues during fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to the 2016 Net Salon Count Changes and foreign currency fluctuations. Same-store service sales were flat, primarily a result of a 2.7% increase in average ticket, offset by a 2.7% decrease in same-store guest visits.
The $50.7 million decrease in service revenues during fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to the 0.4% decrease in same-store service sales, the 2015 Net Salon Count Changes and foreign currency fluctuations. The decrease in same-store service sales was primarily a result of a 1.2% decrease in same-store guest visits, partly offset by a 0.8% increase in average ticket.
The $83.8 million decrease in service revenues during fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to the 3.4% decrease in same-store servicesservice sales and the closure of 259 company-owned salons.2014 Net Salon Count Changes. The decrease in same-store servicesservice sales was primarily a result of a 4.9% decrease in same-store guest visits, partly offset by a 1.5% increase in average ticket. Partly offsetting the decrease was growth from construction (net of relocations) of 127 company-owned salons during fiscal year 2014.
Product Revenues
The $80.0$3.6 million decrease in serviceproduct revenues during fiscal year 20132016 was primarily due to the closure of 423 company-owned salons, same-store service sales decreasing 2.0%2016 Net Salon Count Changes and foreign currency fluctuations, partly offset by the comparable prior period including an additional day from leap year.

Product Revenuesticket.
The $44.3 million decrease in product revenues during fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to the 10.3% decrease in same-store product sales decreasing 10.3% and the closure of 259 company-owned salons. This was partly offset by an increase in product sales to franchisees primarily due to increases in franchised locations and product sales from 127 newly constructed company-owned salons (net of relocations) during fiscal year 2014.2014 Net Salon Count Changes. The decrease in same-store product sales was primarily a result of a 14.7% decrease in same-store guest visits, partly offset by a 4.4% increase in average ticket.
Royalties and Fees
The $24.3$2.9, $3.8, and $1.8 million decreaseincreases in product revenuesroyalties and fees during fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to same-store product sales decreasing 3.9%, the closure of 423 company-owned salonsyears 2016, 2015 and the comparable prior period including an additional day from leap year, partly offset by an increase in product sales to franchisees primarily2014, respectively, were due to increases in franchised locations of 172, 145 and product sales from 153 newly constructed company-owned salons (net of relocations) during fiscal year 2013. The decrease in same-store product sales was primarily a result of a 6.5% decrease in same-store guest visits, partly offset by a 2.6% increase in average ticket.
The $7.4 million decrease in product revenues during fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to same-store product sales decreasing 2.7%, and the closure of 333 company-owned salons, partly offset by the additional day from leap year and an increase in product sales to franchisees primarily due to increases in franchised locations and product sales from 166 newly constructed company-owned salons (net of relocations) and acquisition of 13 company-owned salons during fiscal year 2012. The decrease in same-store product sales was primarily a result of a 5.3% decrease in same-store guest visits, partly offset by a 2.6% increase in average ticket.
Royalties and Fees
Total franchised locations open at June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 2,179 and 2,082, respectively. The $1.8 million increase in royalties and fees was due to increased franchised locations during fiscal year 201497, respectively, and same-store sales increases at franchised locations.
Total franchised locations open at June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 2,082 and 2,016, respectively. Cost of Service
The $0.8 million90 basis point increase in royalties and fees was due to increased franchised locationscost of service as a percent of service revenues during fiscal year 2013 and same-store sales increases at franchised locations.
Total franchised locations open at June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 2,016 and 1,936, respectively. During fiscal year 2012, we purchased a 60.0% ownership interest in a franchise network, consisting of 31 franchised locations. The $1.0 million increase in royalties and fees2016 was alsoprimarily due to same-store salesminimum wage increases, at franchised locations,unfavorable stylist productivity, higher health insurance costs and mix shifts to more costly color services, partly offset by the Company purchasing 11mix improvement from closing underperforming salons.
The 50 basis point increase in cost of our franchised salonsservice as a percent of service revenues during fiscal year 2012.2015 was primarily due to state minimum wage increases, higher field incentives as the Company anniversaries an incentive-lite year and the lapping of a prior year rebate, partly offset by improved stylist productivity and a decrease in healthcare costs.
Cost of Service
The 180 basis point increase in cost of service as a percent of service revenues during fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to the change in expense categorization as a result of the field reorganization that took place during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The change in the expense categorization accounted for 140 basis points of the increase for fiscal year 2014. The remaining increase of 40 basis points for fiscal year 2014 was primarily the result of negative leverage from stylist hours caused by a decline in same-store service sales, increased stylists wages and an increase in healthcare costs, partly offset by cost reductions due to the field reorganization and lower levels of bonuses and the lapping of a full commission coupon event that was not repeated this year.repeated.
Cost of Product
The 22020 basis point increase in cost of serviceproduct as a percent of serviceproduct revenues during fiscal year 20132016 was primarily due tofrom increased laborpromotions, partly offset by the closure of salons with higher product costs in our North American Value salons,as a resultpercent of the Company's strategy to increase stylist hours in order to reduce guest wait times and improve the overall guest experience, and the negative leverage this created with same-store service sales declines. The Company made slight improvement during the year in optimizing salon schedules to align with guest traffic. Also contributing to the basis point increase was the Company's decision earlier in the year to compensate stylists on the gross sales amount during certain coupon events and an increase in health insurance expense due to higher claims.product revenues.
The 1060 basis point decrease in cost of serviceproduct as a percent of serviceproduct revenues during fiscal year 20122015 was due to lower commissionsprimarily the result of improved salon-level inventory management and compliance, closure of salons with higher product costs as a resultpercent of leveraged pay plans for new stylistsproduct revenues and a decreaselapping of an inventory write-down in salon health insurance costs due to lower claims,the prior year. These were partly offset by decreased productivityincreased promotional activity and lapping of vendor rebates in our North American Value and Premium salons.
Cost of Productthe prior year.
The 460480 basis point decrease in cost of product as a percent of product revenues during fiscal year 2014 was primarily the result of lapping a $12.6 million non-cash impairment charge recorded duringin the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013.prior year. Prior year clearance sales in connection with standardizing plan-o-grams and reducing retail product assortments and reduced sales commissions in fiscal year 2014 further contributed to the decrease in cost of product as a percent of product revenues.
The 460 basis point increase in cost of product as a percent of product revenuesSite Operating Expenses
Site operating expenses decreased $9.5 million during fiscal year 2013 was mainly attributed to our inventory simplification program, which standardized retail plan-o-grams, eliminated retail products and consolidated from four own-branded product lines to one. In connection with these activities, the Company sold through clearance approximately $8.0 million of product and liquidated approximately $12.6 million of remaining inventory into non Regis distribution channels within the parameters of existing supply agreements. While negatively impacting cost of product as a percent of product revenues, clearance sales and liquidation of inventories generated higher cash returns than past practices of repackaging and returning products to distribution centers for restocking, disposal or return to vendors. Further impacting cost of product as a percent of product sales were Hurricane Sandy product donations, partly offset by reductions to commissions paid on retail sales.
The 10 basis point increase in cost of product as a percentage of product revenues during fiscal year 2012 was2016 primarily due to increases in freight costs due to higher fuel prices partly offset by a reduction in commissions paid to new employees on retail product sales instore closures, mainly within our North American Value and Premium salons.segments, cost savings associated with salon telecom costs, reduced marketing expenses, lower self-insurance costs and foreign currency, partly offset by the lapping of a sales and use tax refund in the prior year.
Site Operating Expenses
Site operating expenses decreased $1.6$11.0 million during fiscal year 2015 primarily due to store closures, mainly within our North American Value and Premium segments, lower self-insurance reserves, reduced marketing expenses, a sales and use tax refund and cost savings.
Site operating expenses increased $1.3 million during fiscal year 2014. After considering the prior year change in expense categorization as a result of the field reorganization that took place during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, site operating expense decreased$10.1 $7.3 million during fiscal year 2014, primarily from increased salon connectivity costs to support the Company’s POS system and salon workstations and increased marketing costs. These were partly offset by cost savings initiatives to lower utilities, janitorial and repairs and maintenance expenses, lower travel expense due to the field reorganization and reduced incentive
compensation from lower same-store sales, lower self-insurance reserves and reduced freight and self-insurance expenses. These were partly offset by increased salon connectivity costs to support the Company’s new POS system and salon workstations and increased marketing costs. The change in basis points during fiscal year 2014 was negatively impacted from negative leverage as a result of a decline in same-store sales.
The 30 basis point increase in site operating expenses as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to negative leverage from the decrease in same-store sales. Site operating expenses declined $3.1 million primarily within our North American Value and Premium segments due to a decrease in advertising costs, utilities and janitorial expense, partly offset by increases in salon connectivity costs to support the Company's new POS system and salon workstations and higher salon repairs and maintenance expense.
The 10 basis point increase in site operating expenses as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to negative leverage from the decrease in same-store sales.freight.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense (G&A) declined $8.0 million during fiscal year 2016. This decrease was primarily driven by reduced incentive compensation, cost savings, a gain on life insurance proceeds and foreign currency, partly offset by planned strategic investments in Technical Education, higher legal fees and financing arrangement modification fees.
G&A increased $13.3 million during fiscal year 2015. This increase was primarily driven by higher incentive compensation levels as the Company anniversaries an incentive-lite year, planned strategic investments in Asset Protection and Human Resource initiatives and the lapping of a favorable deferred compensation adjustment within our Unallocated corporate segment. These items were partly offset by cost savings and reduced legal and professional fees.
G&A declined $53.9 million or 210 basis points as a percent of consolidated revenues, during fiscal year 2014. This improvement was primarily due to the change in expense categorization as a result of the field reorganization. The change in expense categorization accounted for $29.6$29.6 million of the decrease for fiscal year 2014. The remaining decrease of $24.3 million during fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to reduced levels of incentive compensation in our North American Value and Unallocated Corporate segments, cost savings from various initiatives and the field reorganization, reduced health insurance costs and a favorable deferred compensation adjustment within our Unallocated Corporate segment, partly offset by legal and professional fees. The Company remains focused on simplification to drive further costs efficiencies.
G&A declined $22.9 million, or 60 basis points as a percent of consolidated revenues, during fiscal year 2013. This improvement was primarily due to reductions in salaries and benefits from our corporate reorganization executed in the prior year, certain cost savings initiatives in fiscal year 2013 and reduced levels of incentive pay in fiscal year 2013, partly offset by costs associated with rolling out our new POS system.
The $36.2 million decrease or 130 basis point improvement in G&A costs as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2012 was the result of lapping a $31.2 million valuation reserve on the note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret in fiscal year 2011. Also contributing to the improvement during fiscal year 2012 was a reduction in salaries and other employee benefits as a result of the reduction in Salon Support workforce that occurred in January 2012. Partly offsetting these improvements were incremental costs associated with the Company's senior management restructuring, severance charges and professional fees incurred in connection with the contested proxy and the exploration of alternatives for non-core assets.
Rent
Rent expense decreased by $2.6$11.9 million during fiscal year 2016 primarily due to salon closures, primarily within our North American Value and Premium segments and foreign currency fluctuations, partly offset by rent inflation.
Rent expense decreased by $13.1 million during fiscal year 2015 primarily due to salon closures, primarily within our North American Value and Premium segments and foreign currency fluctuations, partly offset by rent inflation.
Rent expense decreased by $2.9 million during fiscal year 2014 primarily due to salon closures, mainlyprimarily within our North American Value and Premium segments. The 90 basis point increase in rent expense as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to negative leverage associated with this fixed cost category.
Rent expense decreased by $7.1 million during fiscal year 2013 primarily due to salon closures, mainly within our North American Value and Premium segments. The 50 basis point increase in rent expense as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to negative leverage associated with this fixed cost category.
The 30 basis point increase in rent expense as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to negative leverage in this fixed cost category due to negative same-store sales,segments, partly offset by favorable common area maintenance adjustments from landlords and salon closures.rent inflation.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense (D&A) decreased $15.4 million during fiscal year 2016, primarily driven by lower depreciation expense on a reduced salon base and reduced fixed asset impairment charges.
D&A decreased $16.9 million during fiscal year 2015, primarily driven by lower depreciation expense on a reduced salon base and reduced fixed asset impairment charges.
D&A increased $8.0 million or 80 basis points as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2014. This increase was2014, primarily due to increased fixed asset impairment charges recorded in our North American Premium and Value segments, partly offset by declines in depreciation expense ason a result of the fixed assetreduced salon base.
Goodwill Impairment
The Company did not record a goodwill impairment charges recorded during fiscal years 2014 and 2013.
D&A decreased $13.2 million or 40 basis points as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2013. This decrease was primarily due to our lapping $16.2 million of accelerated amortization associated with the adjustment to the useful life of the Company's previously internally developed POS system. Partly offsetting the 40 basis point improvement was $1.9 million ($1.2 million net of tax or $0.02 per diluted share) of accelerated depreciation expense in the current year
associated with exiting a leased building in conjunction with consolidating the Company's headquarters and negative leverage from the decrease in same-store sales.
D&A increased $12.8 million or 70 basis points as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2012. This increase was primarily due to $16.2 million ($10.2 million net of tax or $0.18 per diluted share) of accelerated amortization expense in the current year resulting from the useful life adjustment of the Company's internally developed POS system and negative leverage from the decrease in same-store sales. Partly offsetting the basis point increase was the continuation of a decrease in depreciation expense from the reduction in salon construction beginningcharge in fiscal year 2009 as compared to historical levels prior to fiscal year 2009.
Goodwill Impairment2016 and 2015.
The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $34.9 million related to the Regis salon concept during fiscal year 2014. The Company redefined its operating segments during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. In addition, overall performance trends were down. For these reasons, the Company was required to perform this goodwill assessment in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. As a result of this non-cash charge, the Company has no further goodwill on its balance sheet associated with the Regis salon concept (North American Premium). The Company remains focused on improving the performance of this business as it stabilizes and turns around the business. See Notes 1 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company did not record a goodwill impairment charge in fiscal year 2013.
The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $67.7 million related to the Regis salon concept during fiscal year 2012. Due to the continuation of decreased same-store sales, the estimated fair value of the Regis salon operations was less than the carrying value of this concept's net assets, including goodwill. The $67.7 million impairment charge was the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill for the Regis salon concept.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $15.3$0.9 million during fiscal year 2016 primarily due to the lapping of prior year interest for the $172.5 million convertible senior notes settled in July 2014.
Interest expense decreased by $12.1 million during fiscal year 2015 primarily due to the settlement of the $172.5 million convertible senior notes in July 2014, partly offset by interest on the $120.0 million Senior Term Notes issued in November 2013.
Interest expense decreased by $14.7 million during fiscal year 2014 primarily due to a $10.6 million make-whole payment associated with the prepayment of private placement debt in June 2013 and decreased average outstanding debt and related interest rates compared to the prior year.
Interest expense increased by $9.3 million during fiscal year 2013 primarily due to a $10.6 million make-whole payment associated with the prepayment of private placement debt in June 2013, partly offset by decreased debt levels as compared to fiscal year 2012.
The 30 basis point improvement in interest as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to decreased debt levels as compared to fiscal year 2011.
Interest Income and Other, net
Interest income and other, net increased $2.5 million during fiscal year 2016 primarily due to lapping a prior year foreign currency loss and an insurance recovery.
Interest income and other, net was flat during fiscal year 2015 compared to the prior year period.
Interest income and other, net decreased $33.4 million or 170 basis points as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a $33.8 million foreign currency translation gain in connection with the sale of Provalliance during fiscal year 2013.
Interest income and other, net increased $30.3 million or 160 basis points as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2013. This increase was primarily due to the recognition of a $33.8 million foreign currency translation gain in connection with the sale of Provalliance, partly offset by fiscal year 2012 including a favorable legal settlement and the foreign currency impact on the Company's investment in MY Style.
Interest income and other, net as a percent of consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2012, was consistent with the comparable prior period as there was a favorable foreign currency impact related to the Company's investment in MY Style and a favorable legal settlement during fiscal year 2012 that were offset by the prior year comparable period including higher fees received for warehousing services provided to the purchaser of Trade Secret.
Income Taxes
During fiscal year 2014,2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $71.1$9.0 million on $54.3$12.5 million of income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in loss of affiliated companies, for an effective tax rate of 72.3%. The recorded tax expense and effective tax rate for fiscal year 2016 are different than would normally be expected primarily due to the impact of the valuation allowance against the majority of our deferred tax assets. Approximately $7.9 million of the tax expense relates to non-cash tax expense for tax benefits on certain indefinite-lived assets that the Company cannot recognize for reporting purposes. This non-cash tax expense will continue as long as we have a valuation allowance in place.
During fiscal year 2015, the Company recognized income tax expense of $14.6 million on $5.0 million of loss from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in loss of affiliated companies, for an effective tax rate of (130.9)(293.4)%. The recorded tax expense and effective tax rate for fiscal year 2015 are different than would be expected primarily due to the
establishment of a $2.1 million valuation allowance against the majority of the Canadian deferred tax assets and $8.9 million non-cash tax expense relating to tax benefits on certain indefinite-lived assets that the Company cannot recognize for reporting purposes.
During fiscal year 2014, the Company recognized income tax expense of $73.0 million on $55.3 million of loss from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in loss of affiliated companies, for an effective tax rate of (131.9)%. The recorded tax expense and effective tax rate for fiscal year 2014 are higherdifferent than would be expected as a result of the $84.4$86.6 million non-cash valuation allowance established against the Company's U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets and the tax effect of the $34.9 million goodwill impairment charge, which was partly non-deductible for tax purposes. Because we have a valuation allowance against most of our deferred tax assets, our effective tax rate will likely fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter. Going
forward, we expect a component of our income tax rate to include non-cash tax expense relating to tax benefits on certain indefinite-lived assets that we cannot recognize for reporting purposes. This non-cash tax expense will continue as long as we have a valuation allowance in place.
During fiscal year 2013,Additionally, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $10.0 million on $10.1 million of income from continuing operations before incomeis currently paying taxes in Canada and equitycertain states in loss of affiliated companies, for an effective tax rate of (99.3)%. The larger than expected effective tax rate benefit was because the $33.8 million foreign currency translation gain recognized at the time of the sale of Provalliance was primarily non-taxable, along with a benefit from Work Opportunity Tax Credits.
During fiscal year 2012, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $4.4 million on $25.3 million of losses from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in loss of affiliated companies, for an effective tax rate of 17.5%. The smaller than expected effective tax rate was primarily because the $67.7 million Regis salon concept goodwill impairment charge was partly non-deductible for tax purposes.which it has profitable entities.
Equity in Loss of Affiliated Companies, Net of Income Taxes
The loss in affiliated companies, net of income taxes, of $14.8 million for fiscal year 2016 was due to the Company recording a $13.0 million other than temporary non-cash impairment charge and EEG's net loss of $1.8 million. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The loss in affiliated companies, net of income taxes, of $13.6 million for fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to the Company recording its portion of EEG's non-cash deferred tax asset valuation allowance ($6.9 million) and EEG's net loss ($2.0 million), plus other than temporary non-cash impairment charges ($4.7 million). See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The loss in affiliated companies, net of income taxes for fiscal year 2014, was primarily due to the Company recording its portion of EEG's goodwill impairment charge ($12.6 million, net of income taxes) and fixed asset impairment charges ($3.3 million, net of income taxes), partly offset by the recovery of $3.1 million on previously impaired investments in Yamano.Yamano Holding Corporation. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The loss in affiliated companies, net of taxes for fiscal year 2013 was primarily due to the Company's $17.9 million other than temporary impairment charge recorded on its investment in EEG, partly offset by the Company's share of EEG's net income and a $0.6 million gain on the Provalliance Equity Put that automatically terminated as a result of the sale of the Company's investment in Provalliance. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The loss in affiliated companies, net of taxes for fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to the impairment losses of $17.2 and $19.4 million recorded on our investments in Provalliance and EEG, respectively. In conjunction with entering into a purchase agreement to sell Provalliance, the Company recorded a $37.4 million other than temporary impairment charge on its investment in Provalliance and $20.2 million reduction in the fair value of the Equity Put, resulting in a net impairment charge of $17.2 million. The Company recorded a $19.4 million other than temporary impairment charge for the excess of the carrying value of its investment in EEG over the fair value. The Company also recorded its $8.7 million share of an intangible asset impairment recorded directly by EEG. These impairments recorded during fiscal year 2012 were partly offset by our share of earnings of $9.7 and $4.7 million recorded for our investments in Provalliance and EEG, respectively. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations, netNet of Income Taxes
During fiscal year 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized a$0.6 million of tax expense and $1.4 million tax benefit from discontinued operations for the release of tax reservesbenefit associated with the disposition of our Trade Secret salon concept.

During fiscal year 2013, the Company recognized $25.0 million of income, net of taxes from discontinued operations, primarily from an after-tax gain of $17.8 million realized upon the sale of Hair Club and $12.6 million of income from Hair Club operations, net of taxes, partly offset by $5.4 million of expense, net of taxes, associated with professional and transaction fees.
During fiscal year 2012, the Company recognized $62.4 million of loss, net of taxes from discontinued operations, primarily from a $61.9 million loss, net of taxes from Hair Club operations, as a result of the $78.4 million goodwill impairment charge, and $1.6 million of expense, net of taxes associated with professional and transaction fees, partly offset by $1.1 million tax benefit related to the release of tax reserves associated with the disposition of our Trade Secret salon concept.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources of Liquidity
Funds generated by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, and our revolving credit facilityborrowing agreements are our most significant sources of liquidity. We believe our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to sustain operations and to finance strategic initiatives. We also anticipate having access to long-term financing. However, in the event our liquidity is insufficient
and we are not able to access long-term financing, we may be required to limit or delay our strategic initiatives. There can be no assurance that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels.
As of June 30, 2014,2016, cash and cash equivalents were $378.6$147.3 million, with $349.1, $13.5$136.9, $5.6 and $16.0$4.8 million in the U.S., Canada and Europe, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the facility and had outstanding standby letters of credit under the facility of $2.2 million, primarily related to its self-insurance program. Accordingly, unused available credit under the facility at June 30, 2014 was $397.8 million. Refer toSee additional discussion under Financing Arrangements.
Our ability to access our revolving credit facility is subject to our compliance with the terms and conditions of such facility, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge ratio and other covenants and requirements.

Uses of Cash
In December 2013, theThe Company announced the implementation ofhas a new capital allocation policy. Threepolicy that focuses on three key principles. These principles underlying this strategy focus on preserving a strong balance sheet and enhancing operating flexibility, preventing unnecessary dilution so the benefits of future value accrue to existing shareholders and deploying capital to the highest and best use by optimizing the tradeoff between risk and after-tax returns. As a result of this strategy,
During fiscal year 2016, the Company intends to retain excess cash during its ongoing turnaround efforts and focus primarily on growing the numberrepurchased approximately 7.6 million shares of franchised locations and expanding company-owned locations primarily through its partnership with Walmart.common stock for $101.0 million at an average share price of $13.19, excluding transaction costs.
Cash Flows
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Fiscal year 2016 cash provided by operating activities of $55.0 million decreased by $38.9 million compared to the previous fiscal year largely due to higher inventory levels, enhanced incentive payouts in the current year relating to the prior fiscal year and lower income tax refunds.
Fiscal year 2015 cash provided by operating activities of $94.0 million decreased by $22.8 million compared to the previous fiscal year, primarily as a result of a $12.0 million decrease in working capital primarily due to lapping fiscal year 2014 income tax refunds and lower earnings.
Fiscal year 2014 cash provided by operating activities of $117.4$116.8 million increased by $48.3$47.0 million compared to the previous fiscal year primarily as a result of increased cash provided by working capital partly offset by the operating loss. The $75.6$77.2 million working capital improvement over the previous year was primarily the result of cash received in fiscal year 2014 for income tax refunds and the collection of weekend credit card receivables outstanding at the end of the previous fiscal year. Fiscal year 2013 working capital included cash used for increased deferred compensation payments and build of the outstanding income tax receivable collected in fiscal year 2014.
Fiscal year 2013 cash provided by operating activities of $69.1 million declined by $84.6 million compared to the previous fiscal year. Despite higher earnings in the fiscal year 2013, the decrease was attributable to decreases in revenues and increased cost of service and product resulting in changes in working capital. Cash payments of deferred compensation and income taxes also contributed to declines in cash provided by operating activities.
Fiscal year 2012 cash provided by operating activities of $153.7 million declined by $75.5 million compared to the previous fiscal year, $51.8 million of this decrease related to the timing of accruals and a reduction in the amount received for income taxes, as fiscal year 2011 included a tax refund related to the fiscal year 2009 loss on discontinued operations. Cash provided by operating activities was also lower due to a decrease of $6.0 million in dividends received from affiliated companies.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2016 of $17.4 million was less than the $35.6 million used in fiscal year 2015. In fiscal year 2016, we used $31.1 million for capital expenditures, partly offset by a reduction in restricted cash of $9.0 million, cash proceeds from company-owned life insurance policies of $2.9 million and cash proceeds from sale of salon assets of $1.7 million.
Cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2015 of $35.6 million was less than the $44.4 million used in fiscal year 2014. In fiscal year 2015, we used $38.3 million for capital expenditures, partly offset by cash proceeds from sale of salon assets of $3.0 million.
Cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2014 of $44.4 million was less than the $165.1 million cash provided in fiscal year 2013. In fiscal year 2014, we used $49.4 million for capital expenditures and received $3.1 million from the recovery of the Company's previously impaired investment in Yamano and the receipt of $2.0 million for the final working capital adjustment on the sale of Hair Club.
Cash provided by investing activities during fiscal year 2013 of $165.1 million was greater than the $90.9 million use of cash in fiscal year 2012. In fiscal year 2013, we received $266.2 million from sales of Hair Club and Provalliance and $26.4 million from EEG related to principal payments on the outstanding note receivable and revolving line of credit. These were partly offset by the Company placing $24.5 million into restricted cash to collateralize its self-insurance program, enabling the Company to reduce fees associated with previously utilized standby letters of credit and increased capital expenditures primarily related to the Company's POS system implementation.
Cash used by investing activities of $90.9 million during fiscal year 2012 was less than fiscal year 2011 of $144.3 million due to the comparable prior period including the acquisition of approximately 17% additional equity interest in Provalliance for
$57.3 million, a decrease in the amount of cash paid for acquisitions during fiscal year 2012, partly offset by an increase in capital expenditures during fiscal year 2012 for a POS system and new salon construction.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, 2013 and 2012, cash (used in) provided by (used in) financing activities were for net (repayments) borrowings (repayments) of long-term debt of $0.0, $(173.8) and $111.0 $(118.2)million, respectively.

The basis point increase in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2016 compared to June 30, 2015 was primarily due to the repurchase of 7.6 million shares of common stock for $101.0 million.
The basis point improvement in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2015 compared to June 30, 2014 was primarily due to the $173.8 million repayment of long-term debt, which included $172.5 million in settlement of the convertible notes. This was partly offset by the repurchase of 3.1 million shares of common stock for $47.9 million.
The basis point increase in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013 was primarily due to the issuance of the $120.0 million Senior Term Notes, the $34.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the Regis salon concept, the $84.4$86.6 million non-cash valuation allowance established against the United States and United Kingdom deferred tax assets and the $12.6 million (net of tax) charge recorded by the Company for its share of the noncashnon-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded by EEG.
The basis point improvement in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the prepayment of $89.3 million in private placement debt.
The basis point increase in the debt to capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the decrease in shareholders' equity as a result of the non-cash goodwill impairment charges related to the Regis salon concept and Hair Restoration Centers reporting unit and a $36.6 million net impairment charge associated with our investments in Provalliance and EEG. Partly offsetting the impact of the decrease in shareholders' equity was a decrease in debt levels.

On-Balance Sheet Obligations
Our long-term obligations are composed primarily of convertible debt and senior term notes.our Senior Term Notes. There were no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2014. Interest payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations are estimated based on each debt obligation's agreed upon rate as of June 30, 2014 and scheduled contractual repayments.2016.
Other long-term liabilities of $16.3$14.1 million include $13.0$10.8 million related to a Nonqualified Deferred Salary Plan and a salary deferral program of $3.3 million related to established contractual payment obligations under retirement and severance payment agreements for a small number of retired employees.
This table excludes short-term liabilities other than the current portion of long-term debt, disclosed on our balance sheet as the amounts recorded for these items will be paid in the next year. We have no unconditional purchase obligations. Also excluded from the contractual obligations table are payment estimates associated with employee health and workers' compensation claims for which we are self-insured. The majority of our recorded liability for self-insured employee health and workers' compensation losses represents estimated reserves for incurred claims that have yet to be filed or settled.
The Company has unfunded deferred compensation contracts covering certain management and executive personnel. The deferred compensation contracts are offered to key executives based on their level within the Company. Because we cannot predict the timing or amount of future payments related to these contracts, such amounts were not included in the table above. Related obligations totaled $2.9 and $7.7 million and are included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2014. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of June 30, 2014,2016, we have liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the liabilities will increase or decrease over time; however, at this time, we do not expect a significant payment related to these obligations within the next fiscal year. During the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company paid $9.5 million to the IRS in anticipation of resolution of various issues related to income tax returns for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Operating leases primarily represent long-term obligations for the rental of salons, including leases for company-owned locations, as well as future salon franchisee lease payments of approximately $181.6$232.4 million, which are reimbursed to the Company by franchisees, and the guarantee of operating leases of salons operated by the purchaser of Trade Secret with future minimum lease payments of approximately $1.0 million.franchisees. Regarding franchisee subleases, we generally retain the right to the related salon assets, net of any outstanding obligations, in the event of a default by a franchise owner. Management has not experienced and does not expect any material loss to result from these arrangements.
Interest payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations are estimated based on each debt obligation's agreed upon rate as of June 30, 2016 and scheduled contractual repayments.
We are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters, which indemnities may be secured by operation of law or otherwise, in the ordinary course of business. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases and other real estate contracts, financial agreements,
agreements to provide services and agreements to indemnify officers, directors and employees in the performance of their work. While our aggregate indemnification obligation could result in a material liability, we are not aware of any current matter that we expect to result in a material liability.
We do not have other unconditional purchase obligations or significant other commercial commitments such as commitments under lines of credit and standby repurchase obligations or other commercial commitments.
We continue to negotiate and enter into leases and commitments for the acquisition of equipment and leasehold improvements related to future salon locations.
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet financial arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes at June 30, 2014.2016. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Dividends
We paid dividends of $0.12 per share during fiscal year 2014 and $0.24 per share during fiscal years 2013 and 2012.2014. In December 2013, the Company announced a new capital allocation policy. As a result of this policy, the Board of Directors elected to discontinue declaring regular quarterly dividends.
Share Repurchase Program
In May 2000, the Company's Board of Directors (Board) approved a stock repurchase program. Originally,program with no stated expiration date. Since that time and through June 30, 2016, the programBoard has authorized up to $50.0$450.0 million to be expended for the repurchase of the Company's stock. The Board elected to increasestock under this maximum to $100.0 million in August 2003, to $200.0 million on May 3, 2005 and to $300.0 million on April 26, 2007.program. All repurchased shares become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. The timing and amounts of any repurchases will dependdepends on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. Historically, the repurchases to date have been made primarily to eliminate the dilutive effect of shares issued in conjunction with acquisitions, restricted stock grants and stock option exercises. All repurchased shares
become authorized but unissued shares of the Company. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date. The Company did not repurchase any shares during fiscal year 2014 or 2012. The Company repurchased 909,175 shares of common stock through its share repurchase program during fiscal year 2013 for $14.9 million. As of June 30, 2014, a total accumulated 7.72016, 18.4 million shares have been cumulatively repurchased for $241.3 million. As of June 30, 2014, $58.7$390.0 million, and $60.0 million remained outstanding under the approved stock repurchase program.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the 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 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the following accounting policies are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial condition and results of operations.
Investments In Affiliates
The Company has equity investments in securities of certain privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity or cost method of accounting. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded at the amount of the Company's investment and adjusted each period for the Company's share of the investee's income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company's investment may not be recoverable.
During fiscal years 2013 and 2012,
The table below summarizes losses recorded by the Company recorded noncash impairments of $17.9 and $19.4 million, respectively, related to its investment in EEG. Due to economic, regulatory and other factors, including declines in enrollment, revenue and profitability in the for-profit secondary educational market, the Company may be required to take additional noncash impairment charges related to its investments and such noncash impairments could be material to its consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. Based on EEG's annual goodwill impairment assessment during fiscal year 2014, the Company's portion of EEG's estimated fair value exceeds carrying value of its investment by approximately 10 percent. Any meaningful underperformance against plan or reduced outlook by EEG, changes to the carrying value of EEG or further erosion in valuations of the for-profit secondary educational market could lead to other than temporary impairments of the Company's investment in EEG. In addition, EEG may be required to record noncash impairment charges related to long-lived assets or establish valuation allowances against certain of its deferred tax assets and our share of such noncash impairment charges or valuation allowances could be material to the Company's consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded its share, $21.2, $2.1 and $8.9 million, respectively, of noncash impairment charges recorded directly by EEG for goodwill and long-lived and intangible assets. investments: |

Goodwill
As of June 30, 2014, EEG has2016 and 2015, the North American Value reporting unit had $417.4 and $419.0 million of goodwill, respectively and the North American Premium and International reporting units had no goodwill. As of June 30, 2014, our share of EEG's deferred tax assets was $7.8 million. See Note 54 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for The Company tests goodwill impairment annuallyon an annual basis, during the Company'sCompany’s fourth fiscal quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances changes, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
Goodwill impairment test is performed at the timereporting unit level, which are the same as the Company’s operating segments. The goodwill test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. 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 of goodwill may exist, requiring a triggering event. In evaluating whethersecond step to measure the amount of impairment loss. If the implied fair value of goodwill is impaired,less than the recorded goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.
In applying the goodwill impairment test, the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unitunits is less than its carrying value including goodwill, as a basis for determining if the Company needs to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company does not need to perform the two-step impairment test. Depending on certain(“Step 0”). Qualitative factors the Company may elect to proceed directly to the two-step impairment test. In the two-step goodwill impairment assessment, the Company compares the carrying value of each reporting unit, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company's reporting unitsinclude, but are its operating segments.
In assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company evaluates certain factors including, but not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions,condition, cost factors, and the overall financial performance of the reporting unit. If after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is “more-likely-than-not” that the carrying value is less than the fair value, then performing the two-step impairment test 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 company-owned salons.
For the two-step impairment test, the Company calculates estimated fair values of the reporting units based on discounted future cash flows utilizing estimates in annual revenue, service and product margins, fixed expense rates, allocated corporate overhead, 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 periodically engages third-party valuation consultants to assist in evaluating the Company's estimated fair value calculations.
In situations whereFollowing is a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, the amountdescription of the goodwill impairment loss must be measured. The measurementanalyses for each of the fiscal years:
Fiscal Years 2016 and 2015
During the Company’s annual impairment test, the Company assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it is calculated by determining the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill,more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unitunits is allocated to all other assets and liabilities ofless than its carrying value (“Step 0”). The Company determined it is “more-likely-than-not” that unit based on the relative fair values under the assumption of a taxable transaction. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amount assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its impliedis less than the fair value. Accordingly, the Company did not perform a two-step quantitative analysis.
As a result of our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter ofFiscal Year 2014 fair values of the Company's reporting units were deemed to be greater than their respective carrying values. For the fiscal year 2014 annual impairment testing of goodwill, respective fair values of the Company's reporting units with goodwill exceeded carrying values by greater than 20.0%.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company experienced two triggering events that resulted in the Company testing its goodwill for impairment. First, the Company redefined its operating segments to reflect how the chief operating decision maker evaluates the business as a result of restructuring the Company's North American field organization. The field reorganization, which impacted all North American salons except for salons in the mass premium category,and goodwill was announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 and completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. The Company did not completely operate under the realigned operating structure priorreallocated to the second quarter of fiscal yearnew reporting units at June 30, 2014.
Second, Additionally, the Regis and f Promenade reporting units reported lower than projected same-store sales that were unfavorable compared to the Company’s projections used in the fiscal year 2013 annual goodwill impairment test. The disruptive impact of foundational initiatives announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 on the first two fiscal quarters of 2014 was greater than anticipated.
Pursuant to the change in operating segments and the lower than projected same-store sales,Accordingly, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company performed interim goodwill impairment tests on its former Regis and Promenade reporting units. The impairment tests resulted in a $34.9 million non-cash goodwill
impairment charge on the former Regis reporting unit and no impairment on the former Promenade reporting unit, as its estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 12.0%. The impairment was only partly deductible for tax purposes resulting in a tax benefit of $6.3 million. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In connection with the change in operating segment structure, the Company changed its North American reporting units from five reporting units: SmartStyle, Supercuts, MasterCuts, Regis and Promenade, to two reporting units: North American Value and North American Premium. Based on the changes to the Company's operating segment structure, goodwill has been reallocated to the new reporting units at June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Analyzing 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 calculate impairment losses of goodwill. However, 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.
During fiscal years 2014 and 2012, the Company impaired $34.9 and $67.7 million, respectively, of goodwill associated with our North American Premium reporting unit. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded during fiscal year 2013.
As of June 30, 2014,2016, the Company's estimated fair value, as determined by the sum of our reporting units' fair value, reconciled within a reasonable range of our market capitalization, which included an assumed control premium of 30.0%25.0%.

See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived 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. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the long-lived assets that do not recover the carrying values. If the undiscounted estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company calculates an impairment charge based on the assets' estimated fair value. The fair value of the long-lived assets is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on the best information available, including market data and salon level revenues and expenses. Long-lived asset impairment charges are recorded within depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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.
A summary of long-lived asset impairment charges follows:

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. A valuation allowance is established for any portion of deferred tax assets that are not considered 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 or not to record a valuation allowance is not fully governed by a specific objective test, accounting guidance places significant weight on recent financial performance.
During fiscal year 2015 and 2014, the impacts from the foundational initiatives implemented in the prior year continued to negatively impact the Company's financial performance. Due to recent negative financial performance and cumulative losses
incurred in recent years,respectively, the Company was no longer able to conclude that it was more likely than not the U.S. and U.K.established a $2.1 million valuation allowance on its Canadian deferred tax assets would be fully realized and established aan $86.6 million valuation allowance on theits U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets.
A summary of the activity for the deferred tax asset valuation allowance follows:
|
| | | |
| | Fiscal Year 2014 |
| | (Dollars in thousands) |
| Balance, June 30, 2013 | $ | — |

|
| Changes to deferred tax asset valuation allowance | (469 | ) |
| Balance, June 30, 2014 | $ | 83,922 |
|
The Company will continue to assess its ability to realizeassesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and will reverse the valuation allowance and record a tax benefit when the Company generates sufficient sustainable pretax earnings to make the realizability of the deferred tax assets more likely than not.
The Company reserves for potential liabilitiesunrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties related to anticipated tax audit issues 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 thethese liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period whenin which it is determined that the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of unrecognized tax liabilitiesbenefits, interest and penalties proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expenseadditional 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.
Contingencies
We are involvedThe Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims that arise from time to time inarising out of the ordinarynormal course of our business. Accruals are recorded for such contingencies based on our assessment thatLike certain other large retail employers, the occurrence is probableCompany has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide consumer and can be reasonably estimated. Management considers many factors in making these assessments including past historywage and the specifics of each case. However, litigationhour violations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur, whichthe 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.
See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion regarding certain issues that have resulted from the IRS' audit of fiscal year 2010 through 2013. Final resolution of these issues is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.the Company’s financial position.
During fiscal year 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $3.3 million and $1.2 million of expense in conjunction with the derivative shareholder action. During fiscal year 2012, the Company was awarded $1.1 million in conjunction with a class-action lawsuit.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary market risk exposure of the Company relates to changes in interest rates in connection with its debt, specifically the revolving credit facility which bears interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin. Additionally, the Company is exposed to foreign currency translation risk related changes in the Canadian dollar and British Pound. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the management of these exposures through the use of derivative financial instrument contracts. By policy, the Company does not enter into such contracts for the purpose of speculation. The following details the Company's policies and use of financial instruments.
Interest Rate Risk:
The Company has established an interest rate management policy that attempts to minimize its overall cost of debt, while taking into consideration earnings implications associated with volatility in short-term interest rates. On occasion, the Company uses interest rate swaps to further mitigate the risk associated with changing interest rates and to maintain its desired balances of fixed and floating rate debt. In addition, access to variable rate debt is available through the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company reviews its policy and interest rate risk management quarterly and makes adjustments in accordance with market conditions and the Company's short and long-term borrowing needs. As of June 30, 2014,2016, the Company did not have any outstanding variable rate debt as there were no amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility. The Company had outstanding fixed rate debt balances of $293.5$120.4 and $174.8$120.0 million at June 30, 20142016 and 2013,2015, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk:
Over 85% of the Company's revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in United States dollars. However, because a portion of the Company's operations consists of activities outside of the United States, the Company has
transactions in other currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar and British pound. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is required to translate the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries from the currency in which they keep their accounting records, generally the local currency, into United States dollars. Different exchange rates from period to period impact the amounts of reported income and the amount of foreign currency translation recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). As part of its risk management strategy, the Company frequently evaluates its foreign currency exchange risk by monitoring market data and external factors that may influence exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, the Company may engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments to hedge assets, liabilities and purchases denominated in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2014,2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any derivative instruments to manage its foreign currency risk.
During fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, the foreign currency gain (loss) included in net incomeloss was $0.1, $33.4$0.3, $(1.3) and $0.4$0.1 million, respectively. During fiscal year 2013, Company recognized a $33.8 million foreign currency translation gain in connection with the sale of Provalliance.

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Description:
Regis Corporation (the Company) owns, operates and franchises hairstyling and hair care salons throughout the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (U.K.), Canada and Puerto Rico. Substantially all of the hairstyling and hair care salons owned and operated by the Company in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico are located in leased space in enclosed mall shopping centers, strip shopping centers or Walmart Supercenters. Franchised salons throughout the U.S. are primarily located in strip shopping centers. Company-owned salons in the U.K. are owned and operated in malls, leading department stores, mass merchants and high-street locations.
DuringBased on the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company redefined its operating segments to reflect howway the chief operating decision maker evaluates the business, as a result of restructuring the Company's North American field organization. Based on the way the Company now manages its business, it has three reportable segments: North American Value, North American Premium and International salons. Prior to this change, the Company had two reportable operating segments: North American salons and International salons. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Concurrent with the change in reportable operating segments, the Company revised its prior period financial information to conform to the new segment structure. Historical financial information presented herein reflects this change.
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 consolidated variable interest entities where it has determined it is the primary beneficiary of those entities' operations.
Variable Interest Entities:Entities:
The Company has or has had interests in certain privately held entities through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. Such entities, known as a variable interest entity (VIE), are required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates whether or not it is the primary beneficiary for each VIE using a qualitative assessment that considers the VIE's purpose and design, the involvement of each of the interest holders and the risk and benefits of the VIE.
As of June 30, 2014,2016, the Company has one VIE, Roosters MGC International LLC (Roosters), where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company owns a 60.0%an 84.0% ownership interest in Roosters. As of June 30, 2014,2016, total assets, total liabilities and total shareholders' equity of Roosters were $6.5, $1.8$7.0, $1.2 and $4.7$5.8 million, respectively. Net income attributable to the non-controlling interest in Roosters was immaterial for fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012.2014. Shareholders' equity attributable to the non-controlling interest in Roosters was $1.8$0.9 million and $1.6$1.9 million as of June 30, 20142016 and 20132015 and recorded within retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company utilized consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not its investment in Empire Education Group, Inc. (EEG) was a VIE, and if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company concluded that EEG was not a VIE based on the fact that EEG had sufficient equity at risk.VIE. The Company accounts for EEG as an equity investment under the voting interest model, as the Company has granted the other shareholder of EEG an irrevocable proxy to vote a certain number of the Company’s shares such that the other shareholder of EEG has voting control of 51.0% of EEG’s common stock, as well as the right to appoint four of the five members of EEG’s Board of Directors.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of 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 could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
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, 20142016 and 2013.2015.
The Company has restricted cash primarily related to contractual obligations to collateralize its self-insurance program.programs. The restricted cash arrangement can be canceled by the Company at any time if substituted with letters of credit. The restricted cash balance is classified within other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
The receivable balance on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet primarily includes credit card receivables and accounts and notes receivable from franchisees. The balance is presented net of an allowance for expected losses (i.e., doubtful accounts), primarily 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 doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to existing accounts and notes receivables. As of June 30, 20142016 and 2013,2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.9$2.2 and $0.6$1.3 million, respectively.
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 market, with cost determined on a weighted average cost basis.
Physical inventory counts are performed annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. Product and service inventories are adjusted based on the physical inventory counts. During the fiscal year, cost of retail product sold to salon guests is determined based on the weighted average cost of product sold, adjusted for an estimated shrinkage factor and thefactor. The cost of product used in salon services is determined by applying estimated percentage of total cost of service and product to service revenues. The estimated percentage related to service inventories isThese estimates are updated quarterly based on cycle count results, and other factors that could impact the Company's margin rate estimates such as service sales mix, discounting, special promotions and special promotions. Actual results compared to quarterly estimates have not historically resulted in material adjustments to our Statement of Operations.other factors.
The Company has inventory valuation reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, or other factors that may render inventories unmarketable at their historical costs. Estimates of the future demand for the Company's inventory and anticipated changes in formulas and packaging are some of the other factors used by management in assessing the net realizable value of inventories. During fiscal year 2013,2014, the Company recorded an inventory write-downwrite-downs of $12.6$0.9 million associated with standardizing plan-o-grams, eliminating retail products and consolidating from four own-brandedowned-brand product lines to one.
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 (30 to 39 years for buildings, 10 years for improvements and three to ten years for equipment, furniture and software). Depreciation expense was $79.7, $81.8$55.5, $66.6 and $96.4$79.7 million in fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively.
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. Amortization expense related to capitalized software, included within depreciation expense disclosed above, was $7.5, $6.8 and $22.3 million in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which has been determined based on an estimatedEstimated useful lives rangingrange from five to seven years.
The Company implemented a third party point-of-sale (POS) information system in fiscal year 2013. The Company recorded $16.2 million of accelerated amortization expense in fiscal year 2012 associated with a previously developed POS system that became fully depreciated as of June 30, 2012.
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

Long-Lived Asset Impairment Assessments, Excluding Goodwill:
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived 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. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the long-lived assets that do not recover the carrying values. If the undiscounted estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company calculates an impairment charge based on the assets' estimated fair value. The fair value of the long-lived assets is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on the best information available, including market data and salon level revenues and expenses. Long-lived asset impairment charges are recorded within depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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.

Goodwill:
Goodwill is tested forAs of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the North American Value reporting unit had $417.4 and $419.0 million of goodwill, respectively and the North American Premium and International reporting units had no goodwill. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company tests goodwill impairment annuallyon an annual basis, during the Company'sCompany’s fourth fiscal quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances changes, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
Goodwill impairment test is performed at the timereporting unit level, which are the same as the Company’s operating segments. The goodwill test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. 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 of goodwill may exist, requiring a triggering event. In evaluating whethersecond step to measure the amount of impairment loss. If the implied fair value of goodwill is impaired,less than the recorded goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.
In applying the goodwill impairment test, the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unitunits is less than its carrying value including goodwill, as a basis for determining if the Company needs to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company does not need to perform the two-step impairment test. Depending on certain(“Step 0”). Qualitative factors the Company may elect to proceed directly to the two-step impairment test. In the two-step goodwill impairment assessment, the Company compares the carrying value of each reporting unit, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company's reporting unitsinclude, but are its operating segments.
In assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company evaluates certain factors including, but not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions,condition, cost factors, and the overall financial performance of the reporting unit. If after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is “more-likely-than-not” that the carrying value is less than the fair value, then performing the two-step impairment test 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 company-owned salons.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
For the two-step goodwill impairment test, the Company calculates estimated fair values of the reporting units based on discounted future cash flows utilizing estimates in annual revenue, service and product margins, fixed expense rates, allocated corporate overhead, 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 periodically engages third-party valuation consultants to assist in evaluating the Company's estimated fair value calculations.

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)Fiscal Years 2016 and 2015
In situations where a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value,During the amount ofCompany’s annual impairment test, the impairment loss must be measured. The measurement of impairmentCompany assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it is calculated by determining the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill,more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unitunits is allocated to all other assets and liabilities ofless than its carrying value (“Step 0”). The Company determined it is “more-likely-than-not” that unit based on the relative fair values under the assumption of a taxable transaction. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amount assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its impliedis less than the fair value. Accordingly, the Company did not perform a two-step quantitative analysis.
As a result of our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of
Fiscal Year 2014 fair values of the Company's reporting units were deemed to be greater than their respective carrying values. For the fiscal year 2014 annual impairment testing of goodwill, respective fair values of the Company's reporting units with goodwill exceeded carrying values by greater than 20.0%.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company experienced two triggering events that resulted in the Company testing its goodwill for impairment. First, the Company redefined its operating segments to reflect how the chief operating decision maker evaluates the business as a result of restructuring the Company's North American field organization. The field reorganization, which impacted all North American salons except for salons in the mass premium category,and goodwill was announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 and completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. The Company did not completely operate under the realigned operating structure priorreallocated to the second quarter of fiscal yearnew reporting units at June 30, 2014.
Second, Additionally, the former Regis and Promenade reporting units reported lower than projected same-store sales that were unfavorable compared to the Company’s projections used in the fiscal year 2013 annual goodwill impairment test. The disruptive impact of foundational initiatives announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 on the first two fiscal quarters of 2014 was greater than anticipated.
Pursuant to the change in operating segments and the lower than projected same-store sales,Accordingly, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company performed interim goodwill impairment tests on its former Regis and Promenade reporting units. The impairment tests resulted in a $34.9$34.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge on the former Regis reporting unit and no impairment on the former Promenade reporting unit, as its estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 12.0%. The impairment was only partly deductible for tax purposes resulting in a tax benefit of $6.3 million. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In connection with the change in operating segment structure, the Company changed its North American reporting units from five reporting units: SmartStyle, Supercuts, MasterCuts, Regis and Promenade, to two reporting units: North American Value and North American Premium. Based on the changes to the Company's operating segment structure, goodwill has been reallocated to the new reporting units at June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Analyzing 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 calculate impairment losses of goodwill. However, 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.
During fiscal years 2014 and 2012, the Company impaired $34.9 and $67.7 million, respectively, of goodwill associated with our North American Premium reporting unit. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded during fiscal year 2013.
As of June 30, 2014,2016, the Company's estimated fair value, as determined by the sum of our reporting units' fair value, reconciled within a reasonable range of our market capitalization, which included an assumed control premium of 30.0%25.0%.

Investments In Affiliates:
The Company has equity investments in securities of certain privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity or cost method of accounting. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded at the amount of the Company's investment and adjusted each period for the Company's share of the investee's income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company's investment may not be recoverable.
During fiscal years 2013 and 2012,The table below summarizes losses recorded by the Company recorded noncash impairments of $17.9 and $19.4 million, respectively, related to its investment in EEG. Due to economic, regulatory and other factors, the Company may be required to take additional noncash impairment charges related to its investments and such noncash impairments could be material to its consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. Based on EEG's annual goodwill impairment assessment during fiscal year 2014, the Company's portion of EEG's estimated fair value exceeds carrying value of its investment by approximately 10%. Any meaningful underperformance against plan or reduced outlook by EEG, changes to the carrying value of EEG or further erosion in valuations of the for-profit secondary educational market could lead to other than temporary impairments of the Company's investment in EEG. In addition, EEG may be required to record noncash impairment charges related to long-lived assets or establish valuation allowances against certain of its deferred tax assets and our share of such noncash impairment charges or valuation allowances could be material to the Company's consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded its share, $21.2, $2.1 and $8.9 million, respectively, of noncash impairment charges recorded directly by EEG for goodwill and long-lived and intangible assets. As of June 30, 2014, EEG has no goodwill. As of June 30, 2014, our share of EEG's deferred tax assets was $7.8 million. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.investments: |

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 balance sheet 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.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Although the Company does not expect the amounts ultimately paid to differ significantly from the estimates, self-insurance accruals could be affected if future claims experience differs significantly from historical trends and actuarial assumptions. For fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, the Company recorded (decreases) increases in expense fromfor changes in estimates related to prior year open policy periods of $(2.0)$(0.8), $(1.1)$0.1 and $0.9$(2.0) million, respectively. A 10.0% change in the self-insurance reserve would affect income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in (loss) income of affiliated companies by approximately $4.8 million for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012. The Company updates loss projections twice each yearquarterly and adjusts its recorded 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, 2014,2016, the Company had $14.9$12.7 and $32.7$28.0 million recorded in current liabilities and noncurrent liabilities, respectively, related to the Company's self-insurance accruals. As of June 30, 2013,2015, the Company had $14.8$18.3 and $32.4$29.9 million recorded in current liabilities and noncurrent liabilities, respectively, related to the Company's self-insurance accruals.
Deferred Rent and Rent Expense:
The Company leases most salon locations under operating leases. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant improvement allowances funded by landlord incentives, rent holidays and rent escalation clauses which provide for scheduled rent increases during the lease term or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including one renewal period if renewal is reasonably assured based on the imposition of an economic penalty for failure to exercise the renewal option). The difference between the rent due under the stated periods of the lease and the straight-line basis is recorded as deferred rent within accrued expenses and other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
For purposes of recognizing incentives and minimum rental expenses on a straight-line basis, the Company uses the date it obtains the legal right to use and control the leased space to begin amortization, which is generally when the Company enters the space and begins to make improvements in preparation of its intended use.
Certain leases provide for contingent rents, which 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 Sheet, along with the corresponding rent expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, when specified levels have been achieved or when management determines that achieving the specified levels during the fiscal year is probable.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue:
Company-owned salon revenues are recognized at the time when the services are provided. Product revenues 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) until they are redeemed.
Product sales by the Company to its franchisees are included within product revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and recorded at the time product is shipped to franchise locations.
Franchise revenues primarily include royalties, initial franchise fees and net rental income. Royalties are recognized as revenue in the month in which franchisee services are rendered. The Company recognizes revenue from initial franchise fees at the time franchise locations are opened, as this is generally when the Company has performed all initial services required under the franchise agreement. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Classification of Expenses:
The following discussion provides the primary costs classified in each major expense category:
Beginning in fiscal year 2014, costs associated with field leaders, excluding salons within the North American Premium segment, that were previously recorded within General and Administrative expense are now categorized within Cost of Service and Site Operating expense as a result of the field reorganization that took place in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. Previously, field leaders did not work on the salon floor daily. As reorganized, field leaders now spend most of their time on the salon floor leading and mentoring stylists and serving guests. As a result, district and senior district leader labor costs are now reported within Cost of Service rather than General and Administrative expenses and their travel costs are reported within Site Operating expenses rather than General and Administrative expenses.
Cost of service— labor costs related to salon employees, costs associated with our field supervision (fiscal year 2014) and the cost of product used in providing service.
Cost of product— cost of product sold to guests, labor costs related to selling retail product and the cost of product sold to franchisees.
Site operating— direct costs incurred by the Company's salons, such as advertising, workers' compensation, insurance, utilities, travel costs associated with our field supervision (fiscal year 2014) and janitorial costs.
General and administrative— costs associated with salon training, distribution centers and corporate offices (such as salaries and professional fees), including cost incurred to support franchise operations.

General and administrative— costs associated with our field supervision (fiscal years 2013 and 2012), salon training and promotions, distribution centers and corporate offices (such as salaries and professional fees), including cost incurred to support franchise operations.
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. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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.
Shipping and Handling Costs:
Shipping and handling costs are incurred to store, move and ship product from the Company's distribution centers to company-owned and franchise locations and include an allocation of internal overhead. Such shipping and handling costs related to product shipped to company-owned locations are included in site operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Shipping and handling costs related to shipping product to franchise locations totaled $3.2,$3.6, $3.6 and $3.8$3.2 million during fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively and are included within general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Any amounts billed to franchisees for shipping and handling are included in product revenues within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Advertising:
Advertising costs, including salon collateral material, are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs expensed and included in continuing operationssite operating expenses in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 2013was $35.5, $38.7 and 2012 was $40.6 $39.2, $42.1 million, respectively.
The Company participates in cooperative advertising programs under which vendors reimburse the Company for costs related to advertising its products. The Company records such reimbursements as a reduction of advertising expense when the expense is incurred. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, no amounts were received in excess of the Company's related expense.
Advertising Funds:
The Company has various franchising programs supporting certain of its franchise salon concepts. Most maintain advertising funds that provide comprehensive advertising and sales promotion support. The Company is required to participate in the advertising funds for company-owned locations under the same salon concept. The Company assists in the administration of the advertising funds. However, a group of individuals consisting of franchisee representatives has control over all of the expenditures and operates the funds in accordance with franchise operating and other agreements.
The Company records advertising expense in the period the company-owned salon makes contributions to the respective advertising fund. During fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, total contributions to the franchise advertising funds totaled $17.5, $18.0 and $18.6 $19.0, $19.2 million, respectively.
The Company records all advertising funds as assets and liabilities within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 20142016 and 2013,2015, approximately $26.8$23.3 and $20.8$24.1 million, respectively, representing the advertising funds' assets and liabilities were recorded within total assets and total liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
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 option pricing 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.

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. A valuation allowance is established for any portion of deferred tax assets that are not considered 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 or not to record a valuation allowance is not fully governed by a specific objective test, accounting guidance places significant weight on recent financial performance.
During fiscal year 2015 and 2014, the impacts from foundational initiatives implemented late in the prior fiscal year continued to negatively impact the Company’s financial performance. Due to recent negative financial performance and cumulative losses incurred in recent years,respectively, the Company was no longer able to conclude that it was more likely than not the U.S. and U.K.established a $2.1 million valuation allowance on its Canadian deferred tax assets would be fully realized and established aan $86.6 million valuation allowance on theits U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets.
A summary of the activity for the deferred tax asset valuation allowance follows:

The Company will continue to assess its ability to realizeassesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and will reverse the valuation allowance and record a tax benefit when the Company generates sufficient sustainable pretax earnings to make the realizability of the deferred tax assets more likely than not.
The Company reserves for potential liabilitiesunrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties related to anticipated tax audit issues 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 thethese liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period whenin which it is determined that the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of unrecognized tax liabilitiesbenefits, interest and penalties proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expenseadditional 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.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share:
The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated as net (loss) income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The Company's dilutive earnings per share is calculated as net (loss) 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. 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. TheWhile the Company's convertible debt was outstanding, diluted earnings per share willwould have also reflectreflected the assumed conversion under the Company's convertible debt if the impact iswas dilutive, along with the exclusion of related interest

Components of comprehensive (loss) income include net (loss) income, foreign currency translation adjustments changes in fair value of derivative instruments,and recognition of deferred compensation, and reclassification adjustments, net of tax within shareholders' equity.
Foreign Currency Translation:
Financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company's international subsidiariesoperations 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 fiscal year end. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. Statement of Operations accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. During fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, the foreign currency gain (loss) recorded within interest income and other, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations was $0.1, $33.4$0.3, $(1.3) and $0.4$0.1 million, respectively.

Investment in Empire Education Group, Inc.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company's ownership interest in Empire Education Group, Inc. (EEG) was 54.5%. EEG operates accredited cosmetology schools and is managed by the Empire Beauty School executive team. The Company accounts for EEG as an equity investment under the voting interest model.
During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 the Company recorded its share of pretax noncash impairment charges recorded by EEG for goodwill and fixed and intangible asset impairments of $21.2, $2.1 and $8.9 million, respectively. In addition, during fiscal years 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded other than temporary impairment charges of its investment in EEG of $17.9 and $19.4 million, respectively, to account for the negative business impacts resulting from regulatory changes including declines in enrollment, revenue and profitability in the for-profit secondary educational market. The Company did not receive a tax benefit on these impairment charges.
Due to economic, regulatory and other factors, including declines in enrollment, revenue and profitability in the for-profit secondary educational market, the Company may be required to record additional noncash impairment charges related to its investment in EEG and such noncash impairments could be material to the Company's consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. Based on EEG's annual goodwill impairment assessment during fiscal year 2014, the Company's portion of EEG's estimated fair value exceeds carrying value of its investment by approximately 10%. Any meaningful underperformance against plan or reduced outlook by EEG, changes to the carrying value of EEG or further erosion in valuations of the for-profit secondary educational market could lead to other than temporary impairments of the Company's investment in EEG. In addition, EEG may be required to record noncash impairment charges related to long-lived assets or establish valuation allowances against certain of its deferred tax assets and our share of such noncash impairment charges or valuation allowances could be material to the Company's consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. EEG does not have any goodwill recorded as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, our share of EEG's deferred tax assets was $7.8 million.

Regis did not receive a tax benefit on the net impairment charge.
During fiscal year 2012, the Company recorded $9.8 million of equity earnings and received $2.8 million of cash dividends related to its investment in Provalliance.

rate of 65.6019 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, representing a conversion price of approximately $15.24 per share of the Company's common stock.
At the time of issuance, the Company had the choice of net-cash settlement, settlement in its own shares or a combination thereof and concluded the conversion option was indexed to its own stock. As a result, the Company allocated $24.7 million of the $172.5 million principal amount of the convertible senior notes to equity, which resulted in a $24.7 million debt discount. The $24.7 million debt discount was amortized over the period the convertible senior notes were expected to be outstanding, which was five years, as additional non-cash interest expense. The combined debt discount amortization and the contractual interest coupon resulted in an effective interest rate on the convertible debt of 8.9%.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases:
The Company leases most of its company-owned salons and some of its corporate facilities and distribution centers under operating leases. The original terms of the salon leases range from one to 20 years, with many leases renewable for additional five to ten year terms at the option of the Company. For most leases, the Company is required to pay real estate taxes and other occupancy expenses. Rent expense for the Company's international department store salons is based primarily on a percentage of sales.
The Company also leases the premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with franchisees. These leases, generally with terms of approximately five years, are expected to be renewed on expiration. All additional lease costs are passed through to the franchisees.
Sublease income was $29.5, $29.1$31.4, $30.9 and $28.3$29.5 million in fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively. Rent expense on premises subleased was $29.1, $28.7$30.9, $30.5 and $27.9$29.1 million in fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively. Rent expense and related rental income on sublease arrangements with franchisees is netted within the rent expense line item on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In most cases, the amount of rental income related to sublease arrangements with franchisees approximates the amount of rent expense from the primary lease, thereby having no net impact on rent expense or net income (loss). income. However, in limited cases, the Company charges a 10.0% mark-up in its sublease arrangements. The net rental income resulting from such arrangements totaled $0.5, $0.4, and $0.4 million for each fiscal yearyears 2016, 2015 and 2014, 2013 and 2012respectively, and was classified in the royalties and fees caption of the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company has a sublease arrangement for a leased building the Company previously occupied. Rent expense of $0.9 million and related sublease income of $0.6 million for this arrangement is netted within the rent expense line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The aggregate amount of lease payments to be made over the remaining lease term are approximately $2.5$5.8 million.
The Company also guarantees approximately 10 operating leases associated with the Company's former Trade Secret concept. As the Company has not experienced and does not expect any material loss to result from these arrangements, the Company has determined the exposure to the risk of loss on these guarantees to be immaterial to the financial statements.
Total rent expense, excluding rent expense on premises subleased to franchisees, includes the following:

Litigation and Settlements:
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.
In addition, the Company was a nominal defendant, and nine current and former directors and officers of the Company were named defendants, in a shareholder derivative action in Minnesota state court. The derivative shareholder action alleged that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary dutiesSee Note 9 to the Company in connection with their approval of certain executive compensation arrangements and certain related party transactions. The Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee to investigate the claims and allegations made in the derivative action, and to decide on behalf of the Company whether the claims and allegations should be pursued. In April 2014, the Special Litigation Committee issued a report and concluded the claims and allegations should not be pursued, and in June 2014 the Special Litigation Committee filed a motion requesting the court dismiss the shareholder derivative action.

If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, a benefit of approximately $1$0.9 million would be recorded in the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. During the fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, we recorded interest and penalties of approximately $0.1 $0.7 and $(1.2) million respectively, as additions to the accrual net of the respective reversal of previously accrued interest and penalties. As of June 30, 2014,2016, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $1.1 million. This amount is not included in the gross unrecognized tax benefits noted above.
It is reasonably possible that 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. EARNINGS PER SHARE
NetThe Company’s basic earnings per share is calculated as net income (loss) divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested outstanding restricted stock awards, RSUs and 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. Stock-based awards with exercise prices greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock are excluded from continuing operations available tothe computation of diluted earnings per share. In fiscal year 2015, the Company’s diluted earnings per share would have reflected the assumed conversion under the Company’s convertible debt, if the impact was dilutive, along with the exclusion of interest expense, net of taxes.

12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company grants long-term equity-based awards under the Amended and Restated 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan"). The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options, equity-based stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock awards (RSAs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and stock-settled performance share units (PSUs), as well as cash-based performance grants, to employees and non-employee directors of the Company. Under the 2004 Plan, a maximum of 6,750,000 shares were approved for issuance. In October 2013, the 2004 Plan was amended to limit the number of future full value awards (awards other than stock optionsaggregate RSAs, RSUs and SARs)PSUs that are available for grant to 3,465,701. Shares issued under the 2004 Plan are issued from new shares. As of June 30, 2014 there2016, a maximum of 1,931,279 shares of RSAs, RSUs and PSUs were 3,905,483 partial shares or 3,029,874 full shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan. All unvested awards are subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment, unless accelerated.

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 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 20122014 were as follows:

The fair value of stock options and SARs granted prior to June 30, 2013 wasare estimated on the date of grant using a lattice option valuation model. Effective July 1, 2013, the Company changed from the lattice option valuation model to the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option valuation model for valuing SARs. The Company elected to make the change in valuation methodology because the Company's historical grants of SARs lacked complex vesting conditions or maximum payout limitations on the value of the awards. The Company does not expect a material difference in future valuations as a result of the change in models. The fair value of market-based RSUs granted during fiscal year 2013 was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The significant assumptions used in determining the estimated fair value of stock options, SARs and market-based RSUs granted during fiscal years 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 20122014 were as follows:
| | | | | 2014 | | 2013 | | 2012 | | 2016 | | 2015 | | 2014 |
| Risk-free interest rate | | 1.67 - 1.96% | | 0.66 - 0.87% | | N/A | | 1.71% | | 1.53 - 1.84% | | 1.67 - 1.96% |
| Expected term (in years) | | 6.00 | | 6.00 | | N/A | | 6.00 | | 6.00 | | 6.00 |

| Expected dividend yield | | 1.52 - 1.61% | | 1.33 - 1.46% | | N/A | | 0% | | 0% | | 1.52 - 1.61% |
The risk free rate of return is determined based on the U.S. Treasury rates approximating the expected life of the stock options and SARs granted. Expected volatility is established based on historical volatility of the Company's stock price. Estimated expected life was based on an analysis of historical stock options granted data which included analyzing grant activity including grants exercised, expired and canceled. The expected dividend yield is determined based on the Company's annual dividend amount as a percentage of the strike price at the time of the grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeiture rates.

Independent Auditors’ Report
Board of Directors
EEG, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of EEG, Inc. and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 20142016 and 2013,2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013,2016, 2015, and 2012,2014, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
1
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EEG, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 20142016 and 2013,2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013,2016, 2015, and 2012,2014, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of Operations and Organizational Matters
EEG, Inc. (“EEG”) owns and operates 11089 cosmetology schools located throughout the United States. With the exception of 2 cosmetology schools owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries, Gary’s Incorporated (“Gary’s”), and Northern Westchester School of Hair Dressing and Cosmetology, Inc. (‘Northern Westchester”), all of EEG’s cosmetology schools are owned directly by EEG. EEG operates cosmetology schools under two primary brands; Empire Beauty School and the Hair Design School.
On September 7, 2010, EEG formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, EEG-California, Inc. This subsidiary was formed in anticipation of extending operations into the state of California. This subsidiary was merged out of existence and into EEG on June 30, 2012. The merger was accounted for by transferring the net assets into EEG at their carrying value on the date of the transaction.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EEG and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Gary’s and Northern Westchester and EEG-California, Inc. (collectively referred to as the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through August 26, 2014,22, 2016, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, purchased with maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash trust liabilities consists of federal monies that have not been applied to student accounts receivable.receivable, a pledged certificate of deposit to a bank, and various amounts pledged to other entities (Note 2).

Student Accounts Receivable
Student accounts receivable are reported at amounts management expects to collect on balances outstanding. Accounts are charged to bad debt expense when deemed uncollectible based upon a periodic review of individual accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company’s historical losses.
Inventories
The Company maintains an inventory of beauty supplies, mannequins, tablet computers, and textbooks for instructional use and resale. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out method, or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on the lesser of estimated useful lives of the assets of 5 to 15 years or the lease term. Property and equipment under capital lease are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the assets. Property and equipment under capital lease are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of asset under capital lease is included in depreciation expense.
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by calculating expected future cash flows to be generated by the assets. If future undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to support the carrying cost of an asset group, then an impairment loss, measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the discounted future cash flows it may generate, is calculated and recorded. The Company recorded impairments of tangible fixed assets of $9,598,508, $2,910,067,$91,258, $218,950, and $588,898$9,598,508 for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013,2016, 2015, and 2012,2014, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company has recorded values for Goodwill; Intangibles, not subject to amortization;amortization and Intangibles, net.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired entities over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is subject to periodic impairment testing which occurs at least annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or at the time of a triggering event. In evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the carrying value of the Company, inclusive of Goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the Company.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Continued)
The Company calculates the estimated fair value of the Company using a discounted cash flows methodology which utilizes estimates in components of future cash flows, future growth rates, and discount rates based upon estimates of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. Estimates of value based upon market multiples derived from data available from guideline publicly traded companies which management believes to have similar traits to EEG are used in addition to the discounted cash flows methodology. The Company periodically engages third-party valuation consultants to assist in the development of the Company’s estimated fair value calculations. (See Note 3)
Intangibles, not subject to amortization comprise Accreditation and a Non-Compete Agreement with Regis Corporation (“Regis”), an affiliated company, valued as of the acquisition dates of acquired schools. Intangibles, not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, or sooner if circumstances indicate necessity for earlier testing. (See Note 3)testing (Note 4).
Intangibles, net comprise the recorded values of Copyrights and Trade names, Below market rate leases, Business covenants, and Customer lists valued as of the acquisition date of acquired schools. These intangible assets have finite lives, and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Intangibles, net are tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, or sooner if circumstances indicate necessity for earlier testing. Costs associated with extending or renewing these assets are expensed as incurred. These assets are amortized using a straight-line method over their estimated lives of 2 to 20 years. (See Note 3)years (Note 4).

Prepublication Costs
The Company capitalizes all prepublication direct costs incurred in the physical production of master publication-ready textbooks. These costs include the cost of manuscripts, salaries of staff directly working on designing, writing and editing the master volumes, the costs of supplies, photography, models, expendable goods, rental and maintenance of facilities, depreciation and amortization of equipment and leasehold improvements used directly by the production staff, and costs of nonemployee translators, editors, and writers. The capitalization of prepublication costs ceases when the master volume textbook is ready for submission to a printing house for mass production of the text. Prepublication costs are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated lives of 5-7 years. Amortization expense related to prepublication costs for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, 2013,was $63,515, $61,114 and 2012, was $24,408, $286,261, and $342,686, respectively. The Company recorded an impairment of prepublication costs of $798,285 for the year ended June 30, 2013.
Revenue Recognition
Tuition revenue is recognized pro-ratably as the school term progresses based upon student hours attended. Unearned tuition is recognizedrecorded as a result of cash received in advance of students attending class. Revenues for registration fees and products sold are recognized upon completion of the enrollment application and sale of the related products sold, respectively, as the Company has no further performance requirements. Revenues related to other services are recognized upon performance. Revenues exclude sales taxes.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes using the asset and liability method which requires the establishment of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance will be recognized.recognized (Note 8). The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and certain consolidated state income tax returns where applicable.
A tax benefit for an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination based on its technical merits. This position is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as a component of other expense.

Income Taxes (Continued)
Potentially adverse material tax positions are evaluated to determine whether an uncertain tax position may have previously existed or has been originated. In the event an adverse tax position is determined to exist, penalty and interest will be accrued, in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service guidelines, and recorded as a component of other expenses in the Company's statement of income. The Company believes no significant uncertain tax positions exist, either individually or in the aggregate, that give rise to the non-recognition of an existing tax benefit.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $11,248,526, $9,246,949,$9,081,845, $10,287,389 and $8,907,537$11,248,526 for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013,2016, 2015, and 2012,2014, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP.Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is effective January 1, 2017,2018, for a calendar year public entity. For non-public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.2018. A non-public entity may elect to apply this guidance earlier; however, not before an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is evaluating this new guidance.
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an update on going concern. Under GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Currently, there is no guidance and doesin GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide a footnote disclosure. The auditor is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time not believe adoption will have a material impact on futureto exceed one year beyond the date of the financial results.statements being audited.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
With this update, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within a year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued. If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plan, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand the critical elements of the situation.
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration of management’s plan, an entity should include a statement in the footnotes indicating that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
The guidance in this update is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. Management is evaluating this new guidance.
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 fiscal year beginning in 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements but expect this adoption will result in a significant increase in the assets and liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

In performing the annual test on Goodwill, management evaluated a number of factors in the most recent business environment which could have the effects of depressing the market value of the Company. More notable among them are a three year downward trend in enrollments and corresponding revenues combined with relatively flat revenue forecasts, and continued negative press and heightened scrutiny by various governmental agencies and officials toward proprietary schools in general. Management engaged an independent business appraisal firm to assist in developing the Company’s evaluation of its estimated fair market value of EEG.

16.Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability between a willing buyer and seller in an orderly transaction. Accounting guidance specifies a fair value hierarchy for estimates of fair value with observable inputs at the highest level, and unobservable inputs at the lowest.
Fair value measurement classifications are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical items in active markets
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar items in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical items in non-active markets; and valuations derived by models in which all significant value assumptions are observable in active markets.
Level 3 -Valuations derived by models where one or more material assumptions are unobservable in an active market.
Asset groups containing values measured, and presented on a non-recurring fair value basis at June 30, 2014, are as follows:
