Shareholder Value Creation 8 Strong Record of Above-Market Value Creation Leading Up to Financial Crisis Economic Conditions Since Financial Crisis Regis Russell 2000 IPO + 5 years: 268% 100% 1995 – 2000: 183% 102% 2000 – June 2007: 103% 65% Financial Crisis: (54%) (39%) Prolonged high unemployment Reduced discretionary income Weak wage growth Gas and food inflation Regis Actions: Starting in 2008, strong focus on improving cost structure and balance sheet Significant cost savings achieved ($48 million achieved as of FY 2011) Significant debt reduction achieved ($490 million achieved as of FY 2011) Today Committed to driving improved traffic and continuing to reduce costs Ensuring customers have a good experience at a good value

 


9 Significant Cost Reductions Already Achieved $ in millions Regis has aggressively managed its cost structure in response to the top-line impact of the financial crisis and subsequent economic downturn 2011 G&A was $301 million, excluding non-operational and non-recurring charges Cumulative Cost Savings Achieved Since FY 2008 Proactive Management of G&A Expenses Expected Cost Savings in 2012 Cost Savings in 2011 Cost Savings in 2010 Cost Savings in 2009 Cost Savings in 2008 G&A lower than 2008 level despite inflationary pressures

 


10 Successfully De-RiskedCapital Structure $ in millions Regis has reduced debt significantly since the end of Q1 2009 Currently total debt at 1.4x latest twelve months EBITDA 1.4x improvement in debt / EBITDA since September 30, 2008 Gross Debt Reduced debt by >$490 million in less than 3 years

New Strategic Initiatives to Drive Shareholder Value

 


Key Strategic Priorities to Drive Shareholder Value Revenue initiatives Increase customer centricity Leverage the power of existing brands Enhance the use of technology to improve connectivity with salons Earnings leverage through revenue growth Utilize scalable cost structure and brands to deliver bottom line impact Cost initiatives Reduce travel / printing expenses through the use of technology Lower salon payroll Reduce interest expense Renegotiate contracts Lower corporate G&A Review of alternatives for non-core assets Hired financial advisor to evaluate alternatives for Hair Club 13 Short-Term Initiatives Longer-Term Strategy Reduce number of operating models based on consumer-driven positions Continue to leverage scale and deliver efficient execution Gain market share by developing best markets through organic growth and targeted acquisitions Return capital to shareholders

 


Important Revenue Initiatives Increasing customer centricity Enhance customer experience to attract and retain customers Expand promotional strategies to drive new customer trial Establish ongoing client relationships to drive retention, as well as increase share of salon visits and average ticket (CRM) Improve hiring and retention processes for stylists Build customer databases CRM installed in approximately 4,500 salons Currently in contact with 2.5 million customers Leveraging the power of our brands Grow best brands in best markets Accelerate growth in best corporate and franchise brands in strong markets Focused on reduced number of operating models based on consumer-driven positions Leverage scale within and across brands Drive improved efficiency of execution Convert to best brands Further leverage scale resulting in improved operational and marketing effectiveness Enhancing the use of technology in the field to improve connectivity with salons Field supervisory staff equipped with latest portable technology in Q4 FY 2011 Roll-out of salon connectivity and internet expected to be complete by September 2012 Third-party point of sale alternative identified to meet enhanced needs at a lower cost 14

 


15 By aggressively cutting costs, Regis has reduced the same-store sales growth required to grow earnings In an economic environment with 3% inflation and assuming no other operational changes, same-store sales growth of 2% would be required to deliver constant year-over-year earnings Through cost savings, Regis has reduced the level of same-store sales growth required to grow earnings from 2% down to (1%) for FY 2012 Same-store sales growth above the threshold results in a meaningful increase in earnings Each incremental 1.5% in same-store sales growth over the threshold generates: $14-15 million EBITDA annually $0.12 EPS annually Revenue Growth is the Key Value Driver

 


16 Revenue Growth is the Key Value Driver Cumulative EPS and Value per Share Impact of Incremental 1.5% Same-Store Sales Growth EPS Impact Value per Share Impact (Assuming 11.0x P/E Multiple)

 


Aggressive Cost Cutting Initiatives Ongoing focus of management Achieved $43 million of savings over the past 3 fiscal years Expect to achieve $40-50 million of additional cost savings over next two fiscal years $25-35 million in FY 2012 and remainder in FY 2013 In aggregate, expect to achieve $80-90 million in cost savings from FY 2009 to FY 2013 Targeted cuts focused on: Increasing technology use to reduce travel and printing expenses Lowering salon payroll costs by reducing turnover and enhancing leveraged pay plans Reducing interest expense Renegotiating contracts Lowering corporate G&A We believe we can achieve this cost savings without impacting our stylists or impeding future growth 17

 


18 Review of Alternatives for Non-Core Assets Retained financial advisors to evaluate strategic alternatives for Hair Club We will continue to evaluate the highest value alternatives for other assets, including Provalliance and Empire Education Group Nothing sacred – we will divest if in the best interest of shareholders Excess cash expected to be returned to shareholders through a buyback or dividend

 


Changes to Corporate Governance & Board of Directors

 


Date Key Change We Continue to Implement Important Corporate Governance Changes –Transition is Underway 20 Stephen Watson was elected as a new independent director April 2008 Joseph (“Joel”) Conner was elected as a new independent director August 2010 New independent Board nominee, Michael Merriman 2011 Annual Meeting David Kunin will not stand for reelection 2011 Annual Meeting Paul Finkelstein relinquishes CEO title and Randy Pearce becomes CEO February 2012 Paul Finkelstein relinquishes Chairman title June 30, 2012 New, independent Chairman will be named July 1, 2012 Addition of new independent Board member via search process During Calendar 2012 Paul Finkelstein and Rolf Bjelland will not stand for reelection 2012 Annual Meeting New Audit Chairman will be named 2012 Annual Meeting Implementing changes that will result in the majority of our directors having commenced service in 2010 or afterwards

22 Process for Adding a New Independent Director in 2012 Board intends to commence a process to add an additional independent director This process will be overseen by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (comprised solely of independent directors) The following attributes among others are expected to be considered in evaluating candidates for the Board: High professional and personal ethics and values Strong record of significant leadership and meaningful accomplishments in his or her field Experience in marketing, brand management or retail Ability to think strategically Sufficient time to carry out the duties of Board membership Commitment to enhancing shareholder value and representing the interests of all shareholders New independent director should look after the interests of ALL shareholders

Timeline of Events with Starboard

 


Timeline of Events with Starboard – 2011 25 Regis received private notice of Starboard’s intention to nominate three directors Randy Pearce spoke with Jeff Smith of Starboard Randy Pearce and Paul Finkelstein met with Jeff Smith who asserted the Company was undervalued and expenses should be reduced by at least $150 million Mr. Pearce and Mr. Finkelstein offered to interview Starboard’s director nominees Mr. Pearce informed Mr. Smith that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would interview Starboard’s director nominees and would likely nominate one if satisfied with their credentials Starboard delivered a public letter to the Board outlining the belief that the Company is undervalued and should cut $100 million of expenses Mr. Pearce called Mr. Smith again to reiterate that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would like to interview the Starboard nominees Mr. Smith expressed reluctance to proceed with those interviews prior to reaching an understanding concerning the composition of the Board Regis advisors spoke to Starboard representatives about ways to cooperate and again requested the opportunity to interview Starboard's director nominees Starboard filed a 13D reporting 5.1% ownership of Regis’ common stock Randy Pearce, Eric Bakken, Van Zandt Hawn, and Joel Conner met with Mr. Smith to discuss ways to cooperate and again offered to interview the Starboard director nominees Mr. Smith indicated that he believed cost reductions should be at least $80 million Chairman of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Van Zandt Hawn, sent a letter to Jeff Smith requesting the opportunity to meet with the Starboard director nominees Jeff Smith responded that he would attempt to coordinate a mutually convenient time and place Regis delivered a draft settlement agreement to Starboard July 29th August 8th August 16th September 1st September 12th September 19th September 26th August 11th September 15th September 27th

 


Review of Starboard Assertions and Demands

 


Criticizes cost structure, including field structure and overhead 27 Regis is Already Taking Action – Starboard Platform Not Compelling for All Shareholders Addressable expense base significantly lower than total expenses Cutting too aggressively will compromise future revenue – revenue growth is key driver of earnings $40-50 million of additional cost savings expected in the next two fiscal years In aggregate, expect to achieve $80-90 million of cost savings from FY 2009 - FY 2013 Starboard Assertions & Demands Regis Comments / Actions 2. Criticizes compensation, related party transactions and Board stock ownership Independent compensation consultant was instrumental in setting executive compensation Executive compensation closely linked to financial performance Related party transactions are fully disclosed, support the business, and represent a very small portion of our overall cost base (<0.05% of total expense base) Significant Board transition already underway

 


3. Argues that Regis should explore strategic alternatives for non-core assets 28 Regis is Already Taking Action – Starboard Platform Not Compelling for All Shareholders Already commenced process for evaluating alternatives for non-core assets with the assistance of independent financial advisors Starboard Assertions & Demands Regis Comments / Actions 4. Argues Starboard director nominees will facilitate improvement Communicated willingness to interview Starboard nominees on multiple occasions Offered to add one of the Starboard nominees More than one Board seat is inconsistent with Starboard’s recent 5% ownership stake Board transition already well underway New independent director, Michael Merriman, nominated Paul Finkelstein and Rolf Bjelland will not stand for reelection in 2012 Commitment to add a new independent director in 2012 Independent Chairman to be named by July 2012

 


Starboard cost-cutting plan unsupported by facts and analysis Initially suggested $150 million of costs could be cut, then $100 million, and most recently $80 million Starboard referenced G&A costs of $340 million, which improperly includes $39 million of non-recurring / non-operational charges Addressable cost base is primarily G&A, which represents just ~14% of the cost base Cost of products and services are variable expenses Rent and site operating expenses are driven by store count Following Starboard’s plan of cutting ~25% of G&A would significantly damage our business, franchise and longer term growth prospects Material component of G&A is field supervisory staff who provide critical management and support to the salons Store managers, who are typically highly productive stylists, rely heavily on field supervisors to fulfill traditional store management responsibilities Typically only 20% of a manager’s pay is related to managing the salon while the majority is from cutting hair Significant cuts to the field supervisory staff would be detrimental to salon level operating performance We Believe Starboard’s Uninformed Cost-Cutting Plan Would Damage our Growth Prospects and the Regis Franchise 29 Starboard’s recommended cost cut levels demonstrate lack of understanding of our retail and service-oriented business Expense Base Composition ($ in millions) FY 2011 Expenses (ex. D&A and Goodwill Impairment) 14% 2% 9% 12% 47% 16% Management has identified an aggressive and appropriate cost savings plan to eliminate $40-50 million of costs over the next two fiscal years

 


30 Starboard’s Other Recent Shareholdings – Uniform Activist Approach with No Retail Experience We believe Starboard has no relevant experience in the retail service sector and typically seeks to implement initiatives that inhibit future growth Target Company MIPS Technologies 9.1% Improve operating performance / cut costs Return capital to shareholders Review strategic alternatives Technology DSP Group 9.1% Cut capital investment in growth areas Review strategic alternatives Technology Zoran 8.3% Improve operational performance Reconstitute Board of Directors Technology SeaChange International 8.4% Improve operating performance / cut costs Separate Chairman / CEO roles Review strategic alternatives Technology Michael Baker Corp. 6.3% Improve operating performance / cut costs Return capital to shareholders Halt acquisition strategy Construction & Engineering Wausau Paper 6.3% Cut capital investmentin growth areas Review strategic alternatives Paper Starboard Ownership Starboard Call for Action Sector

 


Conclusions

 


32 Conclusions We believe the new leadership team has the right plan to drive performance and shareholder value Revenue initiatives $40-50 million of cost savings Review of alternatives for non-core assets, with near-term focus on Hair Club Important changes to Board and corporate governance are already underway Regis director nominees have the right mix of experience and expertise to help Regis execute its plan Repeated, concerted efforts to reach a settlement with Starboard have been unsuccessful Starboard platform is not compelling No revenue initiatives – not a growth plan Uninformed and unrealistic cost cutting plan would be damaging to our business, franchise and longer term growth prospects Starboard nominees lack relevant retail and multi-brand experience Regis is already taking definitive steps to improve performance and change corporate governance for the benefit of all shareholders Vote for directors who will serve the best Interests of all shareholders – vote the GOLDproxy card “for” the Regis directors

34 Appendix REGIS CORPORATION (NYSE:RGS) RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This investor presentation includes certain financial measures, such as EBITDA, revenues less product sales to Pure Beauty Salons & Boutiques, Inc. (Pure Beauty), adjusted general and administrative expenses, non-operational charges, and debt to EBITDA multiples. We believe our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful insight into our ongoing operating performance and an alternative perspective of our results of operations. Presentation of the non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our core ongoing operating performance business from the same perspective as management and Board of Directors. These non-GAAP financial measures provide investors an enhanced understanding of our operations, facilitate investors’ analysis and comparisons of our current and past results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of our future performance. We also believe that the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to analyze financial performance. 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 the 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 in that 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 both our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliation of the selected U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, which are included below.

42 This presentation, as well as information included in, or incorporated by reference from, future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and information contained in written material, press releases and oral statements issued by or on behalf of the Company contains or may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements concerning anticipated future events and expectations that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this document reflect management’s best judgment at the time they are made, but all such statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the statements herein. Such forward-looking statements are often identified herein by use of words including, but not limited to, “may,” “believe,” “project,” “forecast,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” and “plan.” In addition, the following factors could affect the Company’s actual results and cause such results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. These factors include, competition within the personal hair care industry, which remains strong, both domestically and internationally, price sensitivity; changes in economic conditions; changes in consumer tastes and fashion trends; the ability of the Company to implement its planned spending and cost reduction plan and to continue to maintain compliance with financial covenants in its credit agreements; labor and benefit costs; legal claims; risk inherent to international development (including currency fluctuations); the continued ability of the Company and its franchisees to obtain suitable locations and financing for new salon development and to maintain satisfactory relationships with landlords and other licensors with respect to existing locations; governmental initiatives such as minimum wage rates, taxes and possible franchise legislation; the ability of the Company to successfully identify, acquire and integrate salons that support its growth objectives; the ability of the Company to maintain satisfactory relationships with suppliers; or other factors not listed above. The ability of the Company to meet its expected revenue target is dependent on salon acquisitions, new salon construction and same-store sales increases, all of which are affected by many of the aforementioned risks. Additional information concerning potential factors that could affect future financial results is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, your attention is directed to any further disclosures made in our subsequent annual and periodic reports filed or furnished with the SEC on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and Proxy Statements on Schedule 14A.
