Consolidated Revenue
Total consolidated revenue of $49.2 million in the third quarter 2024 and total revenue year-to-date 2024 of $153.6 million declined $6.6 million and $24.0 million, respectively. The decline was driven primarily by a reduction in non-margin franchise rental income and advertising fund contributions and the wind down of loss-generating company-owned salons that generated significant revenue.
Operating Income
Regis reported third quarter 2024 operating income of $4.1 million, an improvement of $2.1 million compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter 2023. Regis reported year-to-date 2024 operating income of $16.3 million, an improvement of $11.1 million compared to $5.2 million in 2023. The year-over-year improvement in operating income for the third quarter 2024 was driven primarily by a decrease in general and administrative expense and the lapping of negative margin franchise product sales in the prior fiscal quarter as part of the wind down of that business. The year-over-year improvement in year-to-date 2024 operating income was driven primarily by our lower general and administrative expense structure, lower depreciation expense and the lapping of a $1.2 million inventory reserve charge in the prior fiscal year.
Loss from Continuing Operations
Regis reported third quarter 2024 net loss from continuing operations of $2.4 million, or $1.03 diluted loss per share from continuing operations, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $2.2 million, or $0.93 diluted loss per share from continuing operations, in the third quarter 2023. Regis reported year-to-date 2024 net loss from continuing operations of $2.2 million, or $0.95 diluted loss per share from continuing operations, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $6.5 million, or $2.83 diluted loss per share from continuing operations, in 2023. The year-over-year improvement in both fiscal 2024 periods was driven primarily by an increase in operating income partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
Net Loss
The Company reported third quarter 2024 net loss of $2.3 million, or $1.00 diluted loss per share, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.71 loss per diluted share, for the same period last year. The year-over-year decline in the quarter was driven primarily by lower income from discontinued operations and higher interest, partially offset by an increase in operating income. The Company reported year-to-date 2024 net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.06 diluted loss per share, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million, or $1.12 loss per diluted share, for 2023. The improvement is due to higher operating income, offset by less proceeds from discontinued operations and higher interest.
Adjusted EBITDA
Third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million improved $0.8 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million in the same period last year. Year-to-date adjusted EBITDA of $18.5 million improved $2.7 million, versus adjusted EBITDA of $15.8 million in the same period last year. The improvement is primarily driven by our lower general and administrative expense structure.

Franchise Revenue
Third quarter franchise revenue was $47.9 million, a $5.7 million, or 10.6% decrease compared to the prior year quarter. Year-to-date franchise revenue was $148.6 million, a $21.1 million, or 12.4% decline compared to the prior year. Non-margin franchise rental income was the primary driver of the decline in both periods due to fewer franchise salons in the current year and franchisees renewing their own leases.
Royalties were $15.7 million and $48.0 million, a $0.3 million and $1.4 million, or 1.9% and 2.8% decrease for the third quarter and year-to-date 2024, versus the same periods last year due to fewer franchise salons.
Franchise Adjusted EBITDA
Third quarter franchise adjusted EBITDA of $5.8 million improved $1.0 million and year-to-date franchise adjusted EBITDA of $20.1 million improved $2.8 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower general and administrative expense, partially offset by lower royalties and fees.

Company-Owned Salon Revenue
Third quarter revenue for the Company-owned salon segment declined $0.9 million versus the prior year to $1.3 million. Year-to-date revenue for the Company-owned salon segment declined $2.9 million versus the prior year to $5.0 million. The year-over-year decline in revenue for both periods was expected and driven by the closure of 40 loss generating company-owned salons over the past twelve months.
Company-Owned Salon Adjusted EBITDA
Third quarter Company-owned salon adjusted EBITDA declined $0.2 million year-over-year, due primarily to inventory write-offs related to salon closures.
Year-to-date company-owned salon adjusted EBITDA loss declined year-over-year. Excluding the $1.1 million grant from the state of North Carolina in fiscal year 2023, adjusted EBITDA improved due to the closure of 40 loss generating company-owned salons over the past twelve months.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 with $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, $187.8 million in outstanding borrowings and total liquidity of $36.7 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $7.1 million, an improvement of $1.3 million from the nine months ended prior year due to lower operating costs.

_______________________________________________________________________________(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.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations:
This press release includes a presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Franchise revenue, which are non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures are financial measures that do not reflect United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We believe our presentation of the non-GAAP measures provides meaningful insight into our ongoing operating performance and a supplemental perspective of our results of operations. Presentation of the non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our core ongoing operating performance from the same perspective as management and the Board of Directors. These non-GAAP financial measures provide investors an enhanced understanding of our operations, facilitate investors’ analyses and comparisons of our current and past results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of our future performance. We also believe the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to analyze financial performance.
Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within U.S. GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine the items to consider as "items impacting comparability" based on how management views our business, makes financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluates the Company's ongoing performance.
The following items have been excluded from our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA results: discontinued operations, one-time professional fees and legal settlements, severance expense, excess inventory impairment charges, the benefit from lease liability decreases in excess of previously impaired right of use asset, lease termination fees and asset retirement obligation costs.
We present adjusted revenue to provide a meaningful Franchise adjusted EBITDA margin, which removes non-margin revenue from total revenue to arrive at an adjusted margin. Margin is a common metric used by investors, however, the majority of our revenue is offset by equal expense, so it does not contribute to our margin. We remove the non-margin revenue from this metric in order to show a meaningful margin rate.
The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations as they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
