Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) provides management's perspective 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, 2025, Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents filed or furnished with the SEC during the current fiscal year. MD&A includes certain non-GAAP measures. The following items have been excluded from our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA results: stock-based compensation expense, discontinued operations, one-time professional fees and legal settlements, severance expense, the benefit from lease liability decreases in excess of previously impaired right of use asset, lease termination fees, and asset retirement obligation costs. MANAGEMENT'S OVERVIEW Regis Corporation (NasdaqGM:RGS) is a leader in the beauty salon industry. As of March 31, 2026, the Company franchised or owned 3,770 locations, primarily in North America. Our locations consisted of 3,497 franchised salons and 273 company-owned salons. Regis’ franchised and corporate locations operate under concepts such as Supercuts®, SmartStyle®, Cost Cutters®, Roosters® and First Choice Haircutters®. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 1,655 employees of which 1,497 were acquired as part of the Alline acquisition. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Goodwill 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 value. An interim impairment analysis was not required in the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, the franchise reporting unit had goodwill of $172.8 million and $173.1 million, respectively, and the company-owned reporting unit had goodwill of $10.3 million as of both March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025. 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, 2025, Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed on our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025. 25 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS System-wide results Our results are impacted by our system-wide sales, which include sales by all points of distribution, whether owned by our franchisees or the Company. While we do not record sales by franchisees as revenue, and such sales are not included in our unaudited Condensed 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. In the nine months ended March 31, 2026, a net 150 franchise salons and 21 company-owned salons have closed. The following table summarizes system-wide revenue and system-wide same-store sales by concept: Three Months Ended March 31, Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 2026 2025 (Dollars in millions) System-wide revenue $ 261.1 $ 266.9 $ 796.6 $ 826.4 Supercuts 5.0 % 1.1 % 3.2 % 0.8 % SmartStyle (3.3) (7.4) (4.6) (6.8) Portfolio Brands 1.4 (0.9) 0.8 (1.5) Total system-wide same-store sales (1) 2.6 % (1.1) % 1.1 % (1.3) % _______________________________________________________________________________ (1)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. Quarterly 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. System-wide same-store sales are calculated in local currencies to remove foreign currency fluctuations from the calculation. 26 Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations (Unaudited) The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain information derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The percentages are computed as a percent of total consolidated revenues, except as otherwise indicated, and the increase (decrease) is measured in basis points. Variances calculated on amounts shown in millions may result in rounding differences.

The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, includes a greater impact from the Alline acquisition conversion of franchise salons to company-owned as these salons converted in December 2024. Fees During the three months ended March 31, 2026, fees decreased $0.5 million, or 20.8%, primarily due to salon closures. During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, fees decreased $2.3 million, or 29.9%, as a result of salon closures in the current year, as well as terminated franchise fees related to the Alline acquisition in the prior year period. Advertising Fund Contributions During the three months ended March 31, 2026, advertising fund contributions remained flat compared to the prior year period. During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, advertising fund contributions decreased $0.2 million, or 1.2%, primarily due to lower salon count. Franchise Rental Income During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, franchise rental income decreased $3.9 million and $10.9 million, or 23.1% and 18.6%, respectively, primarily due to franchisees signing their own leases and the decrease in franchise salon count. Company-Owned Salon Revenue During the three months ended March 31, 2026, company-owned salon revenue increased $0.1 million, or 0.5%, primarily due to the closure of underperforming salons. During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, company-owned salon revenue increased $35.3 million, from $23.2 million to $58.5 million, due to the increase in company-owned salon count related to the Alline acquisition. General and Administrative General and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, decreased $1.2 million and $4.8 million, or 10.7% and 13.2%, respectively, primarily due to lower corporate compensation expenses in the current year period and lapping of education events, offset partially by increased company-owned general and administrative expense. Rent During the three months ended March 31, 2026, rent expense decreased $0.5 million, or 12.2%, primarily due to the closure of underperforming company-owned salons. During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, rent expense increased $3.1 million, or 42.5%, primarily as a result of rent expense associated with the salons from the Alline acquisition. Advertising Fund Expense During the three months ended March 31, 2026, advertising fund expense remained flat compared to the prior year period. During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, advertising fund expense decreased $0.2 million, or 1.2%, primarily due to lower salon count. 29 Franchise Rent Expense During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, franchise rent expense decreased $3.9 million and $10.9 million, or 23.1% and 18.6%, respectively, primarily due to franchisees signing their own leases and the decrease in franchise salon count. Company-Owned Salon Expense Company-owned salon expense, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased $0.2 million and $26.0 million from $13.8 million to $14.0 million and from $16.5 million to $42.5 million, respectively, primarily due to the Alline acquisition in the prior year period. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, increased $0.2 million and $0.9 million, or 28.6% and 56.3%, respectively, primarily due to depreciation expense associated with the assets acquired in the Alline acquisition. Long-Lived Asset Impairment In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not record any long-lived asset impairments. In the nine months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $0.4 million related to the right-of-use asset associated with the corporate office lease. Interest Expense For the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest expense decreased $0.1 million or 2.0%, primarily due to declining interest rates. The $0.8 million increase in interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to higher debt outstanding, offset partially by declining rates. Cash interest decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and remained flat for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior year periods. Gain on Earn-Out Liability The $1.0 million gain on earn-out liability in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, is due to a change in the estimated fair value expected to be paid in conjunction with the Alline acquisition. Other, Net Other, net primarily relates to corporate sublease income and foreign currency gains and losses. Other, net decreased $0.1 million and increased $0.3 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to foreign currency gains and losses adjustments. Income Tax (Expense) Benefit During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a tax expense of $0.2 million, with a corresponding effective tax rate of 17.7%, as compared to recognizing a small tax benefit with a corresponding effective tax rate of (0.4)% during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a tax expense of $1.7 million, with a corresponding effective tax rate of 40.0%, as compared to recognizing a tax benefit of $0.1 million, with a corresponding effective tax rate of 6.2% during the nine months ended March 31, 2025. See Note 5 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Income from Discontinued Operations Income from discontinued operations in the nine months ended March 31, 2025, relates to proceeds received from the sale of OSP related to the number of salons migrating to the Zenoti platform. See Note 3 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 30 Results of Operations by Segment Based on our internal management structure, we report two segments: franchise and company-owned salons.
