(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 December 31, 20202021 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20202021 and its consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the interim periods. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any discussed in the notes below. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and cash flows for the full year.
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Impact of COVID-19 on Business Operations:Impact:
During the period ended December 31, 2020,2021, the global coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19")(COVID-19) had an adverse impact on operations, including prolonged government mandated salon closures in California and Ontario, in addition to other U.S. states and Canadian provinces. As of January 25, 2021, salons in California were allowed to re-open.Theoperations. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact salon guest visits and franchisee staffing, resulting in a significant reduction in revenue and traffic. Dueprofitability. In response to COVID-19, the U.S. employee retention payroll tax credit, Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) and Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS) were introduced for eligible employers. In fiscal year 2021, the Company recorded a $1.5 million benefit related to the economic disruption caused byU.S. employee retention tax credit. In fiscal years 2022 and 2021, the Company received $1.4 and $1.6 million, respectively, in CEWS and $1.2 and $0.0 million, respectively, in CERS that partially cover expenses incurred in Canada during those years. Overall, COVID-19 has, and may continue to have, a negative effect on revenue and profitability. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in both the short and long term is not currently estimable due to the uncertainty surrounding the duration of the pandemic, the availability and acceptance of preventative vaccines, the emergence and impact of new COVID-19 variants and changing government restrictions. Additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently.
Inventories:
The Company has inventory valuation reserves for excess and obsolete inventories or other factors that may render inventories unmarketable at their historical costs. In fiscal year 2021, the Company facesannounced it would transition away from its wholesale product distribution model in favor of a greater degreethird-party distribution model. As a result, the Company exited its distribution centers in fiscal year 2022. To facilitate the exit, the Company sold and continues to sell inventory at discounts and dispose of uncertainty than normalhard-to-sell products. Additionally, the reduction in making judgments and estimates needed to applycompany-owned salons decreases the Company's significant accounting policies. Actual resultsability to re-distribute inventory from closed locations to other salons to be sold or used. The inventory valuation reserve as of December 31, 2021 and outcomes may differ from management's estimatesJune 30, 2021 was $7.8 and assumptions.$11.8 million, respectively. Included in Company-owned salon expense is an inventory reserve charge of $1.2 and $1.5 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Included in Company-owned salon expense is an inventory reserve charge of $1.1 and $1.6 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

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. See Note 107 of the unaudited 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.
Long-lived asset impairment charges, including right of use and salon property and equipment, of $3.2 and $9.0 million were recorded inGoodwill:
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively,2021, the Company determined a triggering event occurred, resulting in a quantitative impairment test performed over goodwill. This determination was made considering the sustained decrease in share price and is separately stated on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Of the total long-lived asset impairment charges, $1.5 and $6.0 million, respectively, were allocated to the right of use asset and $1.7 and $3.0 million, respectively, were allocated to salon property and equipment. Long-lived salon property and equipment asset impairment charges of $1.1 and $2.6 million were recorded during the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, and are recorded in Depreciation and amortizationa change in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Goodwill:
As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Franchise reporting unit had $229.0 and $227.5 million, respectively, of goodwill. For further information, see Note 9 of the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company assesses goodwill impairment on an annual basis, during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter, and between annual assessments if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. An interim impairment analysis was not requiredchief operating decision maker in the three months ended December 31, 2020.2021.
The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of April 30. For the fiscal year 2020 annual impairment assessment, dueDue to the impact oftriggering event experienced in the COVID-19 pandemic,second quarter, the Company electedengaged a third-party valuation specialist to forgo the optional Step 0 assessment and performed the quantitativeperform an impairment analysis on the Franchise reporting unit. The Company compared the carrying valueunit 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.business. For the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a combination of both a discounted cash flows approach and market approach to evaluate the Franchise reporting unit. The discounted cash flow model reflects management's assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, economic and market trends, cost structure, and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results. The discount rate of 18.5% was also a market approach. The key assumptionsassumption utilized in the analysis werediscounted cash flow.
As a result of the number of salons to be sold to franchisees and the discount rate. If a future triggering event occurs or if during the Company's annual impairment assessment the fair value oftesting, the Franchise reporting unit, which has decreased significantly, it may result ingoodwill of $229.0 million, was determined to have a non-cash impairment charge to reduce thefair value that exceeded its carrying value by 15% as of goodwill.December 31, 2021. At the time of the Company's annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, the fair value exceeded the book value by 30%. The decrease in headroom is primarily due to an increase in the company-specific risk factor that drove an increase in discount rate from 14% to 18.5%. As of June 30, 2021, the Franchise reporting unit had goodwill of $229.6 million. The change in goodwill for the six months ended December 31, 2021 is due to foreign currency translation.

7.5.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other franchisors, the Company has been faced with allegations of franchise regulation and agreement violations. Additionally, similar to other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations. LitigationIn the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $1.0 million of settlement and legal fees related to litigation in the quarter. Other litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the actions are being vigorously defended, the Company could incur judgments 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 December 31, 2020, $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 hashad 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,The Company and the outcome is currently uncertain. supplier entered into an agreement, effective June 25, 2021, that provided for the dismissal of the lawsuit and set forth a commercial services agreement pursuant to which the supplier will assist in the transfer of franchise salons from its point-of-sale system to the Company's salon management system, Opensalon® Pro. The Company has not recorded an expenseCompany's accrual 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 rangeagreement was $2.7 and $3.0 million as of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

10.    LEASES7.    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 terms10-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 Rentrent includes the following:

(1)During the three andmonths ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred costs of $0.2 million to exit salons before the lease end date in order to relieve the Company of future lease obligations. During the six months ended December 31, 2020,2021, the Company terminated the leases for 98 and 229 company-owned salons, respectively,paid $0.9 million to exit its distribution centers before the lease end dates. During the threedates and six months ended December 31, 2019, the Company terminated the leases for 20 and 57 company-ownedincurred costs of $0.7 million to exit salons respectively, before the lease end dates. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, lease termination fees include $2.2 and $4.6 million, respectively, of early termination paymentsdate in order to close salons before lease end date and relieve the Company of future lease obligations. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, lease termination fees also includeincludes $2.2 and $4.6 million, respectively, of early termination payments to close salons before the lease end date to relieve the Company of future lease obligations and $(1.1) and $2.0 million, respectively, of adjustments to accruedaccrue future lease payments for underperforming salons. The early termination payments made in the six months ended December 31, 2020 will save the Company approximately $4.3 million in future minimum rent plus associated real estate taxes and other lease expenses.salons that are no longer operating.

In addition, the Company recognizedrecognizes a benefit from lease liabilities decreasing in excess of previously impaired ROU assets. The benefit recognized was $1.0 and $3.9 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively.assets for ongoing leases that were previously impaired.
The Company leases salon premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with franchisees. All leaselease-related 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 December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense were $33.8 and $32.3 million, respectively and $33.6$67.5 and $64.6 million, respectively. Forrespectively, for the six months ended December 31, 20202021 and 2019, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense was $64.6 and $65.1 million.2020. These leases generally have lease terms of approximately 5five years. Excluding underperforming salons we plan to close, leases are assumed to be renewed upon expiration. The Company expects to renew SmartStyle and Supercutssome franchise leases upon expiration. Other leases are expected to be renewed by the franchisee upon expiration. This represents a Board approved change in estimate, which 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 $637.1 and $786.2 million as of December 31, 2020 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.
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 6.506.26 and 6.876.44 years and the weighted average discount rate was 4.03%4.17% and 3.95%4.11% for all salon operating leases as of December 31, 20202021 and June 30, 2020,2021, respectively.
A lessee’slessee'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. Poor salon performance, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in an ASC 360-10-35-21 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 twoThe second step of the long-lived asset impairment test requires that the fair value of the asset group be estimated when determining 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’sCompany's own assumptions about how it intends to use the asset group. The significant judgments and assumptions utilized to determine the fair value of the salon asset groups include;include: the market rent of comparable properties based on recently negotiated leases as applicable, the asset group’sgroup's projected sales for properties with no recently negotiated leases, and a discount rate.
In the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a long-lived impairment charge of $0.1 and $3.2 million, respectively, which included $0.0 and $1.5 million, respectively, related to the ROU assets, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a long-lived impairment charge of $0.2 and $9.0 million, respectively, which included $0.2 and $6.0 million, respectively, related to the ROU assets, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairments recorded were primarily the result of triggering events identified on certain underperforming salons, salons that were identified to close in the year, and certain salons where franchisees were unable to fulfill their rent obligations. 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 assets, including its ROU assets. Our projections of future operating performance do not anticipate future salon closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the ultimate severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown, and therefore,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 six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a long-lived impairment charge of $3.2 and $9.0 million, respectively, which included $1.5 and $6.0 million, respectively, related to the right of use assets, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairments recorded for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 were primarily the result of triggering events identified on certain underperforming salons, salons that were identified to close in the year, and certain salons where franchisees are unable to fulfill their rent obligations.

Long- term financing liability$27,640 $27,981 

In fiscal year 2019, the Company sold its Salt Lake City and Chattanooga Distribution Centers to an unrelated party. The Company is leasing the properties back for 15 years with the option to renew. As the Company plans to lease the property for more than 75% of its economic life, the sales proceeds received from the buyer-lessor are recognized as a financial liability. This financial liability is reduced based on the rental payments made under the lease that are allocated between principal and interest. As of December 31, 2020, the current portion of the Company’s lease liability was $1.0 million, which was recorded in accrued expenses on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The weighted average remaining lease term was 13.1 years and the weighted average discount rate was 3.46% for financing leases as of December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, future lease payments due are as follows:

12.9.    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 December 31, 20202021 and June 30, 2020,2021, the estimated fair value of the Company’sCompany's cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, inventory, deferred compensation assets and 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 areis based on Level 2 inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We measure certain assets, including the Company’sCompany'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 SECOND QUARTER 2020 UNAUDITED RESULTS:
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 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. In the second quarter, goodwill derecognition was understated by $6.7 million, resulting in the loss from the sale of salons to franchisees and net loss being understated and goodwill being overstated by $6.7 million. 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 period. However, to facilitate comparisons among periods, the Company has decided to revise its previously issued second quarter unaudited condensed consolidated financial information.

The Company revised the amounts originally reported for the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 for the following items:
(1)Recorded an additional $6.7 million loss from the sale of salons to franchisees, net that should have been recorded in the second quarter. The error in the Company's goodwill derecognition estimation calculation was identified in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. The goodwill derecognition was understated which understated the loss of the sale of salons to franchisees, net. The error impacted the three and six months ended December 31, 2019.
(2)Recorded a reduction to the gain on the sale of a building, included in interest income and other, net related to the sale of the Company's headquarters which occurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Previously, the Company identified this error during the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and recorded and disclosed the correction in the third quarter as an out-of-period adjustment. The correction applies to the three and six months ended December 31, 2019.

Item 2.  Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’sManagement'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, 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)SEC during the current fiscal year.
MANAGEMENT’SMANAGEMENT'S OVERVIEW
Regis Corporation (RGS) franchises owns,technology-enabled hairstyling and operates beauty salons.hair care salons throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2020,2021, the Company franchised, owned or held ownership interests in 6,3845,779 worldwide locations. Our locations consisted of 6,3065,703 system-wide North American and Internationalinternational salons, and in 7876 locations we maintained a non-controlling ownership interest less than 100 percent. Each of the Company’sCompany's salon concepts generally offer similar salon products and services and serve the mass market. As of December 31, 2020, we2021, the Company had approximately 5,000 corporate853 employees worldwide.
Impact of COVID-19 on Business OperationsImpact
During the period ended December 31, 2020,2021, the global coronavirusCOVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19") had an adverse impact on operations, including prolonged government mandated salon closures in California and Ontario, in addition to other U.S. states and Canadian provinces. As of January 25, 2021, our California salons were allowed to re-open.operations. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact salon guest visits and franchisee staffing, resulting in a significant reduction in revenue and traffic. Dueprofitability. In response to COVID-19, the U.S. employee retention payroll tax credit, Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) and Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS) were introduced for eligible employers. In fiscal year 2021, the Company recorded a $1.5 million benefit related to the economic disruption caused byU.S. employee retention payroll tax credit. In fiscal years 2022 and 2021, the Company received $1.4 and $1.6 million, respectively, in CEWS and $1.2 and $0.0 million, respectively, in CERS that partially cover expenses incurred in Canada during those years. Overall, COVID-19 has, and may continue to have, a negative effect on revenue and profitability. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in both the Company faces a greater degreeshort and long term is not currently estimable due to the uncertainty surrounding the duration of uncertainty than normal in making judgmentsthe pandemic, the availability and estimates neededacceptance of preventative vaccines, the emergence and impact of new COVID-19 variants, and changing government restrictions. Additional impacts to applythe business may arise that we are not aware of currently.
Merchandising Strategy
As part of the Company's significant accounting policies. Actual resultstransformation to focus on managing and outcomes may differnurturing brands, and in line with its capital-light business, a new merchandise strategy to outsource product distribution was adopted in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. The Company is shifting its product business from management's estimatesa wholesale 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 assumptions.ongoing support. The Company will receive a fee from the third-party distributors which is included in fees on the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The change is expected to result in product sales to franchisees providing significantly less revenue by the end of fiscal year 2022.
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, 20202021 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"Critical Accounting Policies”Policies" in Part II, Item 7 of our June 30, 20202021 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.

While we do not record sales by franchisees as revenue, and such sales are not included in our consolidated financial statements,unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we believe that this operating measure is important in obtaining an understanding of our financial performance.

(1)System-wideFiscal year 2022 system-wide same-store sales are calculated as the total change in sales for system-wide franchise and company-owned locations that were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period. Fiscal year 2021 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)Total is a recalculation; line items calculated individually may not sum to total due to rounding.
(2)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.
