Thesis
• Turnaround management in charge of the newly restructured Regis Corp. (RGS)
believes the fair market value of RGS common stock is at least $24 per share, or
50% above the current trading price of $15.60
• The $24 minimum fair value can be inferred from language in the FY2013 10-K
outlining the methodology and results of the company’s annual goodwill
impairment tests (and is in line with RGS earning a minimum required ROIC)
• Despite this fair value opinion, the stock price is depressed due to concerns about
continued deterioration in the company’s North American salon operations
• However, new management’s turnaround initiatives - which were mostly
implemented during the most recent quarter (after 9 months of preparation) and are
focused on copying operating best practices of its best internal operators,
franchisees, and external peers, will likely result in the improved operating results
currently envisioned by management and a stock price of at least $24 within 1-2
years

RGS management thinks stock is worth at least $24
• In the recently filed FY2013 10-K, the company’s annual goodwill impairment tests
on its North American salon concepts are outlined in enough detail that one can
back into management’s base case fair value for RGS stock of at least $24
• Step 1: Estimate book value of North American assets by concept, excluding
goodwill
• Step 2: Add each concept’s GAAP goodwill (given in the 10-K) to its estimated
book value to find the approximate carrying value of each concept
• Step 3: Mark up the carrying value of each North American concept to the fair
value estimate obtained during the goodwill impairment tests (implied by
language in the 10-K)
• Step 4: Add the estimated values of the international salon and North
American beauty school businesses to estimate management’s base case fair
market value for the RGS enterprise and equity

Step 1: Estimate book value of each NA concept
• Though the book value of assets by North American concept is not available
(confirmed with Regis VP of FP&A/IR, Paul Dunn), we can borrow aspects of
management’s method of allocating corporate overhead among concepts by
percentage of company-owned salons when valuing individual concepts to estimate
the book value of each concept’s assets
• “The carrying value of each reporting unit is based on the assets and liabilities associated with the
operations of the reporting unit, including allocation of shared or corporate balances among reporting
units. Allocations are generally based on the number of salons in each reporting unit as a percent of
total company-owned salons.” – Regis Corp. 2013 10-K

Steps 3&4: Add fair value mark-up, value the equity
• Management states in the 10-K that “for the fiscal year 2013 annual impairment
testing of goodwill, the estimated fair value of the Regis salon concept reporting
unit exceeded the carrying value by approximately 9.0 percent” and that “the
respective fair values of the Company's remaining reporting units exceeded
carrying value by greater than 20.0 percent at June 30, 2013”
• Accordingly, I mark up the estimated carrying value of each concept (book asset
value + goodwill) to the minimum fair value estimate implied by the 10-K language

Valuation sanity check (salon replacement cost)
• Management’s valuation on a per-salon basis appears to be rational (despite the
company not providing per salon profitability by concept), as the struggling mall-
based concepts (Regis Salons and MasterCuts) are valued below or at the bottom
end of a replacement value range and the better performing, strip-center salons
(SmartStyle/Cost Cutters, SuperCuts, Promenade) with growing franchise
businesses well above replacement value

Valuation sanity check (consolidated pre-tax ROIC)
• To further triangulate, the $24 per share equity valuation corresponds to a near
future scenario where Regis’ invested capital would be earning a 10%-12% pre-tax
ROIC, likely just above the pre-tax WACC for a large, stable operator/franchisor in
the increasingly chain-dominated mass value, walk-in hair salon industry (for
reference, the riskier Regis concept was valued in the impairment test using a
13.5% WACC)
• Put differently, management’s valuation is realistic if they think the business might
stabilize and earn its cost of capital in response to recent strategy changes, as the
largest operator/franchisor in a highly competitive, but stable industry

Mgmt. believes ~$200m EBITDA possible
• The compensation discussion in the recently filed proxy statement confirms
management believed at FY’13 beginning that Regis could get to such earning
potential (~$200m EBITDA, 10% pre-tax ROIC) but admitted that these goals were
optimistic in retrospect given then newly-hired management team’s later decision to
concentrate three major, temporarily disruptive strategy changes in Q3 and Q4
• The turnaround and march back to a sufficient ROIC hasn’t taken hold just yet, as
LTM adjusted EBITDA of $125m fell far short of targets (3.5% ROIC); the two
estimates available in Bloomberg would suggest no improvement is in sight

Stock price implies little to no EBITDA growth
• Regis’ current EV/LTM EBITDA multiple of ~7.0x, near the lower bounds of an
admittedly rich trading range (median 8.6x, average 8.8x, specialty retail buyouts
usually 8.0x-10.0x in last 5 years), suggests market participants are at best pricing
in EBITDA stabilization at the current depressed level (see Appendix I for comps)
• The skepticism is a result of Regis being over a year into an intuitively simple but
extensive operational turnaround (new CEO Dan Hanrahan just hit 1 year) that has
not yet produced desired same-store sales and EBITDA growth

Regis’ mall-based salons are challenged...
• Regis’ mall-based salons (Regis Salons and MasterCuts) continue to struggle and
the company indicates in the 10-K that the fair value for the Regis Salons concept
is “reasonably likely” to decline in future goodwill impairment tests, where
“reasonably likely” refers to an occurrence "that is more than remote but less than
probable in the judgment of the Company”

…but RGS upside exists assuming $0 mall salon value
• Put differently, a newly installed, high-caliber management team thinks there is a
~10%-50% chance the Regis concept will be worth less than the $150m value
ascribed to it at June 30, 2013
• That said, even assuming the mall salon concepts are immediately marked to $0
value, RGS stock is still worth ~$20 per share (+35%) if management’s valuations
on the North American strip center concepts are credible

RGS-owned strip center/Wal-Mart salons struggling…
• Sales at North American company-owned salons in strip centers and Wal-Mart
(72% LTM sales) had apparently begun to stabilize over the last year until the most
recent quarter, leading to renewed pessimism about management’s ability to drive
the SSS growth required for RGS to once again earn a competitive ROIC (full sales
statistics for these salons can be found in Appendix II)
• However, of the -3.1% consolidated same-store service sales decline recorded in
the most recent quarter, management attributes -0.7% to a shift in Easter from Q4
to Q3 in FY2013 and “much of the remaining decline” to temporary but material
disruptions caused by a complete field reorganization and company-wide
implementation of a new POS system and salon workstations during Q4’13

…but copying best operators is likely to work
• These initiatives - along with implementation of a simplified inventory plan-o-gram
requiring markdown sales of dropped SKU’s and a revised product reset in all North
American company-owned salons, which disrupted product sales - were required to
bring company-owned salons’ operating practices in line with those of Regis’ best-
performing internal operators, franchisees and well-operated external peers
• These initiatives were largely completed at quarter end June 30, 2013 and
management suggested in late August 2013 that “FY2014 (July ‘13 – June ‘14) will
be our year of transition and execution”

Best operator arbitrage has worked before
• Copying best practices of industry’s best operators (internal and external) to bring
up performance in struggling stores in a multi-unit retail operation is a tried and true
turnaround strategy and should lead in time to Regis earning a competitive ROIC
• Regis’ strategy is similar to that used in the successful turnaround of El Pollo Loco
(and later Red Robin Gourmet Burgers) under CEO Steve Carley
• “Start focusing your team on benchmarks that reflect the best-in-class performance…One way to do that is to look for
people both inside and outside the organization, or even the industry, who reflect the absolute highest level of
performance. Then you can track your performance against theirs…Carley says this holds your employees to a higher
standard, and it has helped El Pollo Loco reach new highs in guest service and satisfaction…So once you’ve created
straightforward metrics that establish the standard for success, from both a customer and employee standpoint…“You
need to take operating information and convert it into information that you can’t ignore,” Carley says. “So you create a
set of metrics based on what you are trying to accomplish, so that it’s clear to the casual observer who is achieving or
overachieving and who is not, and in a way that they can’t ignore it…At El Pollo Loco, that information conversion is so
simple that if you understand how a traffic light works, you’ll know if a particular store is a top performer. Restaurants
that are hitting the benchmarks get to hoist a green flag in their stores with pride. Restaurants that are just a bit below
their target metrics post a yellow flag, and the stores with significant work to do operate under a red flag. The relevant
information is dissected on a monthly basis, ranked for that month, and then publicly reviewed by management. The
key is getting the metrics and benchmarks right and then tracking them closely and publish their performance under a
harsh spotlight for everybody to see,” Carley says. “Your best employees will respond to that and step up, and your
marginal ones will either improve or leave.”

• Per RGS CEO Hanrahan, “We have a scoreboard we use to monitor improvements
in sales performance. In July, 15% of our districts were positive, or green as we
refer to it, and as of yesterday our August total increased to 26%.”

Improved operator effect on RGS EBITDA
• Annual sales per avg. company-owned salon were $250k-$280k across the
Promenade and SuperCuts concepts vs. $280k-$340k for Regis franchised salons
and an estimated avg. $300k-$320k for competitors Great Clips and Sports Clips
• Accordingly, in the event Regis’ turnaround strategies worked, same-store sales
would likely rise 10%-15% from the current level to reach those realized by best-in-
class internal and external peers
• Since a 1% rise in company-wide same-store sales equates to $8m-$9m
incremental RGS EBITDA, 10%-15% SSS growth would equate to $80m-$135m
incremental EBITDA and the Regis enterprise earning a realistic, competitive pre-

Probability-weighted upside/downside
• In this realistic turnaround scenario, the RGS stock price likely rises 50%-100%
• The equity downside for an uncompetitive retailer that doesn’t own its properties is
$0 given a highly-levered, lease-based business model, but a strategy based on
copying best operators in a stable industry should work
• That said, the evidence suggests it won’t be anything close to a $0 in the bear case
as there are pockets of well-operated company-owned salons that should remain
viable, Regis just renegotiated a 5 year credit line of $400m (excluding a +$200m
option) and the company’s ~$40m franchise revenue stream is growing
