LEASES | 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 its corporate facilities under operating leases.

(2) Upon termination of previously impaired leases, the Company derecognizes the corresponding ROU assets and lease liabilities, which results in a net gain. In addition, the Company recognizes a benefit from lease liabilities decreasing in excess of previously impaired ROU assets for ongoing leases that were previously impaired. (3) Franchise salon rent is a benefit in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, due to settlements with landlords for less than previously accrued. (4) Note that this amount includes 12 days of rent related to the Alline salons acquired during the quarter. See Note 13. The Company leases salon premises in which the majority of its franchisees operate and has entered into corresponding sublease arrangements with franchisees. All lease-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 Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, franchise rental income and franchise rent expense were $20.0 million and $24.1 million, and $41.7 million and $48.8 million, respectively. These leases generally have lease terms of approximately five years. The Company expects to renew the SmartStyle master lease and some leases for locations subleased to our franchisees upon expiration of those leases. Other leases are expected to be renewed by the franchisee upon expiration. All the Company's leases are 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 ROU asset is initially and subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, less accrued lease payments and unamortized lease incentives received, if any. 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 4.92 and 5.05 years, and the weighted average discount rate was 5.47% and 5.13% for all salon operating leases as of December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, future operating lease commitments, including one renewal option for leases expected to be renewed, to be paid and received by the Company were as follows (dollars in thousands): Fiscal Year Leases For Franchise Salons Leases For Company-Owned Salons Corporate Leases Total Operating Lease Payments Sublease Income to be Received from Franchisees Net Rent Commitments Remainder of 2025 $ 36,048 $ 4,270 $ 672 $ 40,990 $ (36,048) $ 4,942 2026 64,630 6,864 1,367 72,861 (64,630) 8,231 2027 56,168 4,941 1,401 62,510 (56,168) 6,342 2028 47,900 3,755 1,436 53,091 (47,900) 5,191 2029 37,938 2,746 1,472 42,156 (37,938) 4,218 Thereafter 40,076 5,323 1,509 46,908 (40,076) 6,832 Total future obligations $ 282,760 $ 27,899 $ 7,857 $ 318,516 $ (282,760) $ 35,756 Less amounts representing interest 34,429 5,407 837 40,673 Present value of lease liability $ 248,331 $ 22,492 $ 7,020 $ 277,843 Less short-term lease liability 57,955 11,932 1,084 70,971 Long-term lease liability $ 190,376 $ 10,560 $ 5,936 $ 206,872 |
