REGIS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Regis Corporation (the "Company")Company) as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and its consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss, changes inshareholders' equity and cash flows for the interim periods. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any discussed in the notes below. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and cash flows for the full year.
The accompanying interim unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 and other documents filed or furnished with the SEC during the current fiscal year.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Business Operations:
During the period ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the global coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19")(COVID-19) had an adverse impact on operations, including the closure of all salonsprolonged government-mandated salon closures in California forand Ontario, in addition to other U.S. states and Canadian provinces during the majority of the quarter due to government-mandated closures. These restrictions were lifted in Septemberthree and as of September 30, 2020, system-wide salons are approximately 95% open. Management is evaluating the future of the unopened salons, including potential closures.nine months ended March 31, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact salon guest visits leading toresulting in a significant reduction in revenue.revenue and traffic. Due to the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company faces a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making judgments and estimates needed to apply the Company's significant accounting policies. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions.
Inventory:
The Company has inventory valuation reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, or other factors that may render inventories unmarketable at their historical costs. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $5.3 and $6.9 million of inventory excess and obsolescence charges, respectively. The increase in the reserve in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was related to management's decision to exit its product sales business and wind down operations at the Company's two distribution centers. The expense was recorded to Cost of product in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and is a non-cash add back to Net loss on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Salon Long-Lived Asset and Right of Use Asset Impairment Assessments:
The Company assesses impairment of long-lived salon assets and right of use (ROU) assets at the individual salon level, as this is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets and liabilities, when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets or the asset grouping may not be recoverable. Factors considered in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant under-performance of an individual salon in relation to expectations, significant economic or geographic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. The first step is to assess recoverability, and in doing that, the undiscounted salon cash flows are compared to the carrying value.value of the salon assets. If the undiscounted estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company calculates an impairment charge based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. The fair value of the salon long-lived asset group is estimated using market participant methods based on the best information available. The fair valueSee Note 10 of the right of use asset is estimated by determining what a market participant would pay over the life of the primary asset in the group, discounted back to September 30, 2020. See Note 10unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion related to the right of useROU asset impairment.
Judgments made by management related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and the ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the assets, changes in economic conditions and changes in operating performance. As the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of long-lived assets are assessed, these factors could cause the Company to realize material impairment charges.
A long-livedLong-lived asset impairment charge,charges, including right of useROU and salon property and equipment, of $5.8$0.8 and $9.8 million waswere recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and is separately statedMarch 31, 2021, respectively, on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Of the total $5.8 million long-lived asset impairment charge, $4.6charges, $0.3 and $6.3 million, wasrespectively, were allocated to the right of useROU asset and $1.2$0.5 and $3.5 million, wasrespectively, were allocated to salon property and equipment. A long-livedLong-lived salon property and equipment asset impairment chargecharges of $1.5$1.2 and $3.9 million waswere recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, respectively, and isare recorded in Depreciation and Amortizationamortization in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Goodwill:
As of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the Franchise reporting unit had $227.9$229.2 and $227.5 million, respectively, of goodwill. For further information, see Note 9 of the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company assesses goodwill impairment on an annual basis, during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter, and between annual assessments if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. An interim impairment analysis was not required in the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in March 2020, was an interim triggering event in fiscal year 2020. The Company assessed its goodwill as of March 31, 2020 and determined that the Company-owned goodwill was fully impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $40.2 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020.
The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of April 30. For the fiscal year 2020 annual impairment assessment, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to forgo the optional Step 0 assessment and performed the quantitative impairment analysis on the Franchise reporting unit. The Company compared the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value. The result of the assessment indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 50 percent. For the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a combination of both a discounted cash flows approach and a market approach. The key assumptions utilized in the analysis were the number of salons to be sold to franchisees and using the discount rate. If a future triggering event occurs or if during the Company's annual impairment assessment the fair value of the Franchise reporting unit has decreased significantly, it may result in a non-cash impairment charge to reducethat reduces the carrying value of goodwill.
Depreciation:
Depreciation expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 includes $1.3$0.8 and $3.4 million of asset retirement obligations, which are cash expenses. Additionally, in the three month period ended September 30,
Minority Interest:
In December 2020, the Company recognized a $1.0purchased its non-controlling interest in Roosters from the minority shareholders. The Company paid $0.6 million incremental chargeto obtain 100% ownership. The payment is recorded in depreciation expense that related to a prior period. Management evaluated the effect of this out-of-period adjustmentcash used in financing activities on the three months ended September 30, 2020, as well as the previous period in which the charge should have been recognized and concluded for both quantitative and qualitative reasons that the adjustment is not material to the periods affected.unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

2.    REVENUE RECOGNITION:
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue:
Revenue recognized at point of sale
Company-owned salon revenues are recognized at the time when the services are provided. Product revenues for company-owned salons are recognized when the guest receives and pays for the merchandise. Revenues from purchases made with gift cards are also recorded when the guest takes possession of the merchandise or services are provided. Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability (deferred revenue) upon sale and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer. Gift card breakage, the amount of gift cards which will not be redeemed, is recognized proportional to redemptions using estimates based on historical redemption patterns. Product sales, byincluding sales of the Companyhardware related to our proprietary cloud-based management and point-of-sale commerce solution, to franchisees are included within product revenues in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and recorded at the time product is delivered to the franchisee. Payment for franchisee product revenue is generally collected within 30 to 90 days of delivery.
Revenue recognized over time
Franchise revenues primarily include royalties, advertising fund cooperatives fees, franchise fees and other fees. Royalty and advertising fund revenues represent sales-based royalties that are recognized in the period in which the sales occur. Generally, royalty and advertising fund revenue is billed and collected monthly in arrears. Advertising fund revenues and expenditures, which must be spent on marketing and related activities per the franchise agreements, are recorded on a gross basis within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. ThisThe gross presentation increases both the gross amount of reported franchise revenue and site operating expense and generally has no impact on operating income and net income. Franchise fees are billed and received upon the signing of the franchise agreement. Recognition of these fees is deferred until the salon opening and is then recognized over the term of the franchise agreement, typically ten years. Franchise rental income is a result of the Company signing the leaseleases on behalf of franchisees and entering into a sublease arrangement with the franchisee. The Company recognizes franchise rental income and expense when it is due to the landlord.
The following table disaggregates revenue by timing of revenue recognition and is reconciled to reportable segment revenues as follows:

7.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
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. The Company is a defendant in two wage and hour lawsuits in California. The first, a class action in US District Court, alleges various violations of the California Labor Code, including, but not limited to failure to pay wages, failure to permit rest breaks, failure to pay all wages due on termination of employment, waiting time penalties, failure to provide accurate wage statements and violation of the business and professions code. This case has been preliminarily settled, pending approval of the court and class, for $2.1 million. The second, a class action filed in California Superior Court, alleges various violations of the California Labor Code as well as PAGA penalties. Barring successful objection from plaintiffs’ attorneys to the first class action, the second case will be subsumed into the first case’s settlement. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, $2.1 million was included within accrued expenses on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet related to these class action lawsuits. In addition, our existing point of salepoint-of-sale system supplier has challenged the development of certain parts of our technology systems in litigation brought in the Northern District of California, case No. 20-cv-02181-MMC. We have vigorously denied the allegations made by this third-party supplier and have asserted certain counterclaims against the third party. However, the dispute regarding our ownership and involvement of certain key personnel may be costly and distracting, and the outcome is currently uncertain. The Company has not recorded an expense related to damages in connection with these matters because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.

10.    LEASES

At contract inception, the Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time. If the contract provides the Company the right to substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset, the Company considers it to be, or contain, a lease. The Company leases its company-owned salons and some of its corporate facilities under operating leases. The original terms of the salon leases range from 1 to 20 years with many leases renewable for an additional 5 to 10 year term at the option of the Company. In addition to the obligation to make fixed rental payments for the use of the salons, the Company also has variable lease payments that are based on sales levels. For most leases, the Company is required to pay real estate taxes and other occupancy expenses. Total rent expenseRent includes the following:

(1)During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,March 31, 2021, the Company terminated the leases for 13115 and 37244 company-owned salons, respectively, before the lease end dates. LeaseDuring the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company terminated the leases for 3 and 60 company-owned salons, respectively, before the lease end dates. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, lease termination fees include $3.1$0.3 and $4.9 million, of future lease payments for underperforming salons that management closed without a termination agreement. Lease termination fees also includes $2.5 millionrespectively, of early termination payments to close salons before the lease end date andto relieve the Company of future lease obligations. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, lease termination fees also include $(0.5) and $1.5 million, respectively, of adjustments to accrue future lease payments for salons that are no longer operating. The early termination payments will savemade in the Company approximately $2 million innine months ended March 31, 2021 decreased the future minimum rent liability by $9.5 million plus saved the Company from the associated real estate taxes and other lease expenses.
(2)UponFor the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, upon termination of previously impaired leases, the Company derecognized ROU assets of $7.1$3.2 and $13.3 million, respectively, and lease liabilities of $10.3$5.2 and $19.7 million, respectively, that resulted in a net gain of $3.2 million.$2.0 and $6.4 million, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized a benefit from lease liabilities decreasing in excess of previously impaired ROU assets. The benefit recognized was $2.9$1.0 and $4.9 million and $0 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,March 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company leases salon premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with franchisees. All lease costs are passed through to the franchisees. The Company records the rental payments due from franchisees as franchise rental income and the corresponding amounts owed to landlords as franchise rent expense on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense were $32.3$31.3 and $31.4$31.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense were $95.9 and $96.9 million. These leases generally withhave lease terms of approximately 5 years,years. The Company expects to renew SmartStyle and Supercuts franchise leases upon expiration. Other leases are expected to be renewed onby the franchisee upon expiration. This represents a Board-approved change in estimate that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 and was intended to reduce lease exposure. The change in estimate resulted in a decrease to lease liabilities and right of use assets of $72.9 million, with no impact to net income.

For franchise and company-owned salon operating leases, the lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date, including one lease term option when the lease is expected to be renewed. The Right of Use (ROU)ROU asset is initially and subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, less any accrued lease payments and unamortized lease incentives received, if any. The Company's consolidated ROU asset balance was $728.5$629.0 and $786.2 million as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. For leases classified as operating leases, expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including the lease renewal option when the lease is expected to be renewed. Generally, the non-lease components, such as real estate taxes and other occupancy expenses, are separate from rent expense within the lease and are not included in the measurement of the lease liability because these charges are variable.

17


The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the Company's estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot generally be determined. The Company uses the portfolio approach in applying the discount rate based on the original lease term. The weighted average remaining lease term was 6.856.44 and 6.87 years and the weighted-averageweighted average discount rate was 3.98%4.07% and 3.95% for all salon operating leases as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
A lessee’s ROU asset is subject to the same asset impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, applied to other elements of property, plant, and equipment. The Company has identified its asset groups at the individual salon level as this represents the lowest level that identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. As a result ofPoor salon performance, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the related salon closures that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred pursuant toresulted in an ASC 360-10-35-21 given that there had been a significant adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of its salon long-lived asset groups combined with a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which the salon long-lived groups were being used.triggering event. As a result, management assessed allunderperforming salon asset groups, which included the related ROU assets, for impairment in accordance with ASC 360.
The first step in the impairment test under ASC 360 is to determine whether the long-lived assets are recoverable, which is determined by comparing the net carrying value of the salon asset group to the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of that asset group. Estimating cash flows for purposes of the recoverability test is subjective and requires significant judgment. Estimated future cash flows used for the purposes of the recoverability test were based upon historical cash flows for the salons, adjusted for expected changes in future market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors. The period of time used to determine the estimates of the future cash flows for the recoverability test was based on the remaining useful life of the primary asset of the group, which was the ROU asset in all cases.
Step two of the long-lived asset impairment test requires that the fair value of the asset group be determinedestimated when calculatingdetermining the amount of any impairment loss. For the salon asset groups that failed the recoverability test, an impairment loss was measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. The Company applied the fair value guidance within ASC 820-10 to determine the fair value of the asset group from the perspective of a market-participant considering, among other things, appropriate discount rates, multiple valuation techniques, the most advantageous market, and assumptions about the highest and best use of the asset group. To determine the fair value of the salon asset groups, the Company utilized market-participant assumptions rather than the Company’s own assumptions about how it intends to use the asset group.
The fair value of the salon long-lived asset group is estimated using market participant methods based on the best information available. The significant judgments and assumptions utilized to determine the fair value of the salon asset groups include; the market rent of comparable properties based on recently negotiated leases as applicable, the asset group’s projected sales for fiscal years 2021 through 2023 for properties with no recently negotiated leases, and a discount rate. The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the research related to inputs used in their determination of the fair value of the ROU asset, which included providing information related to significant inputs and assumptions utilized in the measurement of the impairment loss.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company recorded a total long-lived asset impairment charge of $22.6 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, including $17.4 million related to the right of use asset in the salon asset groups. The impairment loss for each salon asset group that was recognized was allocated among the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using their relative carrying amounts. Additionally, the impairment losses did not reduce the carrying amount of an individual asset below its fair value, including for the ROU assets in the salon asset groups. Assessing the long-lived assets for impairment requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment which can be affected by economic conditions and other factors that can be difficult to predict. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions it uses to calculate impairment losses for its long-lived asset, including its ROU assets. However, the ultimate severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and therefore, 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. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a long-lived impairment charge of $5.8$0.8 and $9.8 million, respectively, which included $4.6$0.3 and $6.3 million, respectively, related to the right of use assets, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairments recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 were primarily the result of triggering events identified on certain underperforming salons, salons that were identified to close in the quarter to close,year, and certain salons where franchisees arewere unable to fulfill their rent obligations.

In fiscal year 2019, the Company sold its Salt Lake City and Chattanooga Distribution Centers to an unrelated party. The Company is leasingAt the properties back for 15 years withtime of the option to renew. Assale, the transactions were considered failed sale and leaseback transactions, as the Company planshad planned to lease the property for more than 75% of its economic life, the saleslife. The sale proceeds received from the buyer-lessor arewere recognized as a financial liability. This financial liability, iswhich was reduced based on the rental payments made under the lease that arewere allocated between principal and interest. AsIn the third quarter of September 30, 2020, the current portionfiscal year 2021, as a result of the Company’sCompany exiting its wholesale product sales business, the Company informed the landlord of its intention to exit the leased spaces. Because the Company no longer plans to lease the distribution centers for the majority of the assets’ useful lives, these transactions are subsequently considered sale and leaseback transactions. As a result, the Company derecognized the financial liability of $28.5 million and the carrying value of the related assets of $13.6 million and recognized a gain of $14.9 million for the difference between the liability and asset. The gain on distribution centers was recorded to Interest income and other, net in the unaudited Condensed Consolidation Statement of Operations. As the leases for the 2 distribution centers meet the sale and leaseback criteria, the Company recognized a right of use asset and lease liability was $1.0of $20.3 million which was recorded in accrued expenses on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The weighted average remaining lease term was 13.4 years and the weighted-average discount rate was 3.46% for financing leasesSheet as of September 30, 2020.

12.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
 
Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
As of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable, debt and long-term financial liabilities approximated their carrying values. The estimated fair values of the Company's debt and long-term financial liability are based on Level 2 inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We measure certain assets, including the Company’s equity method investments, tangible fixed and other assets and goodwill, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. The fair values of these assets are determined, when applicable, based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables and discounted cash flow projections.

14.REVISION OF THIRD QUARTER 2020 UNAUDITED RESULTS:
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company identified an error in the calculation of the goodwill derecognition associated with the sale of salons to franchisees in the second quarter and third quarter. During the third quarter, goodwill derecognition was overstated by $2.4 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company fully impaired its remaining Company-owned goodwill with the amount of goodwill impairment being overstated by $4.4 million in the third quarter. The Company assessed the applicable guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and concluded these misstatements were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the aforementioned interim periods. However, to facilitate comparisons among periods, the Company has decided to revise its previously issued second and third quarter unaudited condensed consolidated financial information.

The Company revised the amounts originally reported for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 for the following items:
(1)Adjusted third quarter rent expense includes a $0.6 million benefit related to leases signed in the third quarter, but not identified until the fourth quarter. The net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 were both impacted by the misstatement.
(2)During the third quarter, goodwill derecognition was overstated by $2.4 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company impaired its remaining Company-owned goodwill, with the amount of goodwill impairment being overstated by $4.4 million. As the second quarter error which understated goodwill derecognition was not identified until the fourth quarter, goodwill impairment and loss from the sale of salons to franchisees, net were misstated in the third quarter. The Company recorded a $4.4 million decrease to goodwill impairment and a $2.4 million decrease to loss from the sale of salon assets to franchisees, net to correct the error. Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was not misstated. However, goodwill impairment and the loss from the sales of salons to franchisees, net were misstated in the nine months ended March 31, 2020, with goodwill impairment overstated by $4.4 million and loss from the sale of salons to franchisees, net understated by $4.4 million.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is designed to provide a reader of our consolidated financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A included in our June 30, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the current fiscal year.
MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
Regis Corporation (RGS) franchises, owns, and operates beauty salons. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company franchised, owned or held ownership interests in 6,6146,221 worldwide locations. Our locations consisted of 6,5346,143 system-wide North American and International salons, and in 8078 locations we maintained a non-controlling ownership interest less than 100 percent. Each of the Company’s salon concepts generally offer similar salon products and services and serve the mass market. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had approximately 7,0004,000 corporate employees worldwide.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Business Operations
During the period ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the global coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19")(COVID-19) had an adverse impact on operations, including the closure of all salonsprolonged government-mandated salon closures in California forand Ontario, in addition to other U.S. states and Canadian provinces during the majority of the quarter due to government-mandated closures. These restrictions were lifted in Septemberthree and as of September 30, 2020, system-wide salons are approximately 95% open. Management is evaluating the future of the unopened salons, including potential closures.nine months ended March 31, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact salon guest visits to our salons leading toresulting in a significant reduction in revenue.revenue and traffic. Due to the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company faces a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making judgments and estimates needed to apply the Company's significant accounting policies. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions.
Merchandising Strategy
As part of the Company's transformation to focus on managing and nurturing brands, and in line with its capital-light business, a new merchandise strategy to outsource product distribution was adopted in the third quarter. The Company plans to shifts its product business from a whole-sale model to a third-party distribution model. Management expects the change will positively impact franchisees by providing them access to industry-leading pricing, loyalty programs, promotional benefits, educational assets, and ongoing support. The change will results in a decrease in revenue, cost of product and general and administrative expense going forward.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to make various judgments, estimates and assumptions that could have a significant impact on the results reported in the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We base these estimates on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and (2) other materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Changes in these estimates could have a material effect on our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of the June 30, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Notes 1 and 2 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe the accounting policies related to the valuation of goodwill, the valuation and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, estimates used in relation to tax liabilities and deferred taxes are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial condition and results of operations. Discussion of each of these policies is contained under “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7 of our June 30, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our policies related to revenue recognition guidance, ASC Topic 606, can be found in Note 2 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

(1)System-wide same-store sales are calculated as the total change in sales for system-wide franchise and company-owned locations for more than one year that were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly and year-to-date system-wide same-store sales are the sum of the system-wide same-store sales computed on a daily basis. Franchise salons that do not report daily sales are excluded from same-store sales. Locations relocated within a one-mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. System-wide same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation. TBG salons were not a franchise location in fiscal year 2021 so they are excluded from fiscal year 2020 same-store sales for comparability.

(1)Franchise same-store sales are calculated as the total change in sales for salons that have been a franchise location for more than one year that were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Quarterly and year-to-date franchise same-store sales are the sum of the franchise same-store sales computed on a daily basis. Franchise salons that do not report daily sales are excluded from same-store sales. Locations relocated within a one-mile radius are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period. Franchise same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation. TBG salons were not a franchise location in fiscal year 2021 so they are excluded from fiscal year 2020 same-store sales for comparability.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Our existing point of salepoint-of-sale system supplier has challenged the development of certain parts of our technology systems (See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and lsimilar toike certain other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the actions are being vigorously defended, the Company could in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, except for the revision to the thirty-third risk factor listed below and the addition of the last risk factor listed below.
We rely on our management team and other key personnel.
We depend on the skills, working relationships, and continued services of key personnel, including our management team and others throughout our organization. We are also dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, for whom we compete with other companies both inside and outside our industry. Our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely impacted by the unexpected loss of any of our management team or other key personnel, or more generally if we fail to identify, recruit, train and/or retain talented personnel. Effective October 5, 2020, our new Chief Executive Officer commenced his employment as part of a leadership transition. Any transition in senior executive leadership can impact relationships with our suppliers, franchisees, and employees and can lead to shifts in our operations.
We adopted a new merchandising strategy under which the Company will outsource product distribution to third-party distributors.
The Company is in the process of implementing our new merchandising strategy where we will exit the product distribution business and outsource distribution to third-party distributors.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to rely upon third-party distributors to procure and deliver beauty products in quantities sufficient to meet the needs of our customers. Any material delay in the delivery of beauty products, and/or any reduction to, or material change in, the assortment of beauty products supplied to our salons could result in reduced retail sales and service offerings. In addition, disruptions and delays in the beauty supply chain, as a result of COVID-19 or otherwise, could adversely impact the third-party distributors’ abilities to meet our customer demands, which could negatively impact our business and operating results.
