NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements:

    The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Regis Corporation (the Company) as of September 30, 1999 and for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which, with the exception of the matters discussed in Note 5 herein, include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1999 and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. 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 year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements which are included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders and incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company's independent accountants, have performed limited reviews of the interim consolidated financial data included herein. Their report on such reviews accompanies this filing.

    Cost of Product Sales.  On an interim basis, product costs are determined by applying an estimated gross profit margin to product revenues.

2.  Comprehensive Income

    Comprehensive income for the Company includes net income and foreign currency translation charged or credited to the cumulative translation account within shareholders' equity. Comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was as follows:

3.  Net Income per Share:

    Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding. The Company's only dilutive securities are issuable under the Company's Stock Option Plan, as amended. Diluted EPS is calculated as net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, increased to include assumed conversion of dilutive securities.

    The following provides information related to the weighted average common shares used in the calculation of the Company's basic and diluted EPS:

6.  Segment Information:

    Commencing with its 1999 fiscal year end reporting, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". This new standard requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments, generally based on the way that management has organized the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

    Each of the Company's operating segments have generally similar products and services. The Company is organized to manage its operations based on geographical location. The Company's operating segments have been aggregated into two reportable segments: domestic salons and international salons. The Company operates or franchises 4,742 domestic salons located within high-profile regional malls and strip shopping centers under several different concepts including Regis Salons, MasterCuts, Trade Secret, SmartStyle, Supercuts and Cost Cutters brand names. The Company's International segment includes 299 salons operating in leading department stores, mass merchants and high street locations.

    The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those used for the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on direct salon contribution, before supervision and corporate overhead expenses. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant

    Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, is shown in the following table.

7.  Subsequent Event:

    On November 1, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Supercuts (Holdings) Limited (Supercuts Limited), a United Kingdom based company operating 68 hairstyling salons under the Supercuts brand name. Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, the shareholders of Supercuts Limited will receive approximately 1.8 million shares of Regis common stock. It is expected that the transaction will be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The transaction is expected to close during the Company's fiscal 2000 second quarter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Directors of Regis Corporation:

    We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Regis Corporation as of September 30, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

    We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

    Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated August 24, 1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1999, is fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Summary

    Regis Corporation, based in Minneapolis, is the world's largest owner, operator, franchisor and acquirer of hair and retail product salons in 50 states, Puerto Rico, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Regis worldwide operations include 5,041 salons at September 30, 1999 operating in two segments: domestic and international. The Company's domestic segment includes 4,742 salons operating primarily under the brand names of Regis Salons, MasterCuts, Trade Secret, SmartStyle, Supercuts and Cost Cutters. The Company's international operations include 299 salons located in the United Kingdom. The Company has more than 32,000 employees worldwide.

    On November 1, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Supercuts (Holdings) Limited, a United Kingdom based company operating 68 hairstyling salons under the Supercuts brand name. The transaction is expected to close during the Company's fiscal 2000 second quarter.

    During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company's consolidated revenues grew to a record $261.3 million, including franchise income of $12.4 million, a 14.7 percent increase over first quarter fiscal 1999 consolidated revenues of $227.7 million. First quarter operating income grew to $22.5 million, a 36.3 percent increase over the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

    Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, increased to $11.9 million, or $.30 per diluted share, an earnings per share increase of 25.0 percent from first quarter fiscal 1999 net income of $9.5 million, or $.24 per diluted share. Prior year fiscal 1999 results reflect the costs associated with the Company's year 2000 remediation program, which are nonrecurring in nature. Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, including nonrecurring items, was $8.7 million, or $.22 per diluted share.

    Three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to three months ended September 30, 1998:

REVENUES

    Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 grew to a record $261.3 million, an increase of $33.6 million or 14.7 percent, over the same period in fiscal 1999. System-wide sales, inclusive of non-consolidated sales generated from franchised salons, increased 10.0 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to $385.0 million. These increases in company-owned and system-wide sales are the result of the total number of salons added to the system through acquisitions, same-store sales increases as well as net salon openings.

    Revenues by division for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

 
  (Dollars in thousands)

 
  2000
  1999
Regis Salons   $ 91,707   $ 83,849
Strip Center Salons (primarily Supercuts)     44,700     32,345
MasterCuts     34,227     29,418
Trade Secret     38,238     30,981
SmartStyle     18,845     14,057
International     21,145     25,478
Franchise income     12,401     11,571
   
 
    $ 261,263   $ 227,669
   
 

    Same-store sales for domestic company-owned salons increased 4.2 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to same-store sales increases of 5.8 reported in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. System-wide same-store sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 4.2 percent, compared to 5.6 percent in the same period in fiscal 1999. Same-store sales increases achieved are primarily due to an increase in the number of customers served. A total of 25.3 million customers system-wide were served during the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company utilizes an audiovisual-based training system in its company-owned salons. Management believes this training system provides its employees with improved customer service and technical skills, and positively contributes to the increase in customers served.

    Service Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 grew to $177.2 million, an increase of $21.3 million, or 13.7 percent, over the same period in fiscal 1999. This increase is a result of salon acquisitions the Company has made during the past twelve months, strong service same-store sale increases of 4.0 percent, and accelerated new salon construction.

    Product Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 grew to $71.6 million, an increase of $11.4 million, or 18.9 percent, over the same period in fiscal 1999. This increase continues a trend of escalating product revenues due to strong product same-store sales growth of 4.8 percent, a reflection of the continuous focus on product awareness, training and acceptance of national label merchandise. Product revenues as a percent of total company-owned revenues increased to 28.8 percent of revenues compared to 27.9 percent of revenues in the same period of fiscal 1999.

    Franchise Income, including royalties, initial franchise fees and product and equipment sales made by the Company to franchisees, increased slightly to $12.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The increase in franchise income is a result of an increase in royalties on franchisee sales, which sales are not included in the Company's consolidated revenues, as well as an increase in product sales to franchisees.

COST OF REVENUES

    The aggregate cost of revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was $139.6 million, compared to $121.2 million in the same period in fiscal 1999. The resulting combined gross margin percentage for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was 43.9 percent of revenues, identical to that of the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

    Service margins remained fairly consistent at 42.9 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to 43.0 percent in the same period in fiscal 1999. This 10 basis point decline is primarily due to higher initial payroll costs related to certain acquisitions, partially offset by strong service same-store sale increases.

    Product margins remained consistent at 46.4 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999.

DIRECT SALON

    This expense category includes direct costs associated with salon operations such as advertising, promotion, insurance, telephone and utilities. Direct salon expense of $22.1 million increased slightly as a percentage of company-owned revenues to 8.9 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from 8.7 percent in the same period in fiscal 1999. The slight increase is due to an increase in freight costs during the quarter resulting from the roll-out of the new Regis private label product line and, an increase in salon advertising related to the Company's development of the HairMasters and Style America strip center salon concepts.

    Rent expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was $34.2 million or 13.7 percent of company-owned revenues, compared to $29.7 million or 13.8 percent of company-owned revenues, in the same period in fiscal 1999. The slight improvement in rate is primarily due to leveraging this fixed cost against sales increases in the Wal-Mart and International divisions.

DEPRECIATION—SALON LEVEL

    Depreciation expense at the salon level remained consistent at 3.4 percent of revenues in both the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, primarily due to this fixed cost growing at relatively the same rate as sales due to accelerated new salon construction and acquisitions.

DIRECT SALON CONTRIBUTION

    For the reasons described above, direct salon contribution, representing company-owned salon revenues less associated operating expenses, improved in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to $44.4 million, or 17.9 percent of company-owned revenues, compared to $39.0 million or 18.1 percent of company-owned revenues in the same period of fiscal 1999.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

    Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses was to $27.9 million, or 10.7 percent of total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to $27.3 million, or 12.0 percent of total revenues in the same period in fiscal 1999. Expenses in this category include field supervision (payroll, related taxes and travel) and home office administration costs (such as warehousing, salaries, occupancy costs and professional fees). This 130 basis point rate improvement is primarily related the Company's ability to leverage the fixed cost components of SG&A against sales growth and a decrease in SG&A expenses as a result of the amalgamation of The Barbers merger and implementation of the UK restructuring plan.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION—CORPORATE

    Depreciation and amortization remained constant at 1.4 percent of total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, primarily due to increases in the level of goodwill amortization resulting from acquisitions in the past twelve months, offset by leveraging this fixed cost against revenue increases.

NONRECURRING ITEMS

    Nonrecurring items included in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 consist of expenses associated with the Company's year 2000 remediation efforts. See discussion of year 2000 remediation within Liquidity and Capital Resources.

OPERATING INCOME

    Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 improved to $22.5 million, an increase of $6.0 million over the same period in fiscal 1999 (an increase of $7.4 million, excluding nonrecurring items). Operating income as a percentage of total revenues grew to 8.6 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 7.9 percent in the same period in fiscal 1999, excluding nonrecurring items. This improvement is attributable primarily to leveraging of SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher direct salon expenses as a percent of total revenues, excluding nonrecurring items.

INTEREST

    Interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 grew to $3.4 million compared to $2.7 million for the same period in fiscal 1999, primarily due to an increase in debt levels over the prior year.

INCOME TAXES

    The Company's annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2000 is estimated to be approximately 39.5 percent, compared to 42.5 percent for fiscal year 1999. In fiscal 1999, the Company's effective tax rate was negatively impacted by nondeductible merger and transaction costs associated with the Company's merger with Heidi's and The Barbers, and the U.K. restructuring charge.

NET INCOME

    Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 grew to a record $11.9 million or $.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.7 million or $.22 per diluted share in the same period in fiscal 1999. Exclusive of nonrecurring items, net income in the first quarter of the previous 1999 fiscal year was $9.5 million or $.24 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Customers generally pay for salon services and merchandise in cash at the time of sale, which reduces the Company's working capital requirements. Net cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2000 grew to $34.0 million compared to $19.0 million during the same period in fiscal 1999. The increase between the two periods is primarily due to improved operating performance.

    During the first three months of fiscal 2000, the Company had worldwide capital expenditures of $20.5 million, of which $1.4 million related to acquisitions of 92 salons. The Company constructed 18 new Regis Salons, 13 new MasterCuts salons, 11 new Trade Secret salons, 29 new Wal-Mart/SmartStyle salons, 15 new Strip Center Salons and 9 new International salons, and completed 22 major remodeling projects. All capital expenditures during the first three months of fiscal 2000 were funded by cash flow from the Company's operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

    The Company anticipates its worldwide salon development program for fiscal 2000 will include the construction of approximately 360 new company-owned salons, and 125 major remodeling and conversion projects. It is expected that expenditures for these new salons and other projects will be approximately $70.0 million in fiscal 2000, excluding capital expenditures related to acquisitions.

Financing

    Management believes that cash generated from operations and amounts available under its revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its anticipated capital expenditures and required debt repayments for the foreseeable future.

Dividends

    During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company paid quarterly dividends of $1.2 million, or $.03 per share. On November 2, 1999 the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $.03 per share quarterly dividend payable November 30, 1999 to shareholders of record on November 15, 1999.

Year 2000

    The Company previously initiated a comprehensive project to prepare its computer systems for the year 2000. The Company has completed all phases of the project including the awareness, assessment, validation and implementation phases. Accordingly, management believes the year 2000 will not have a significant impact on operations. As part of the overall project, the Company is in the process of developing a contingency plan to mitigate the Company's risk that primary vendors or other external forces could have an impact on the Company's operations.

    Costs associated with the year 2000 were expensed as incurred and funded through operating cash flows. The Company incurred $4.6 million related to year 2000 project costs from the project's inception in fiscal 1998 through its completion in fiscal 1999. No significant additional costs are anticipated to be incurred in the future.

    The Company has contacted critical suppliers of products and services to assess whether the suppliers' operations and the products and services they provide are year 2000 compliant or to monitor their progress toward year 2000 compliance. The results of the Company's inquiries have indicated that the majority of its critical suppliers are either compliant or have a plan in place to be compliant by the end of 1999. There can be no absolute assurance that another company's failure to ensure year 2000 compliance would not have an adverse effect on the Company.
