Regis (NASDAQ:RGS) reported higher profitability and positive cash flow in its fiscal third quarter of 2026, even as total revenue declined, as the salon franchisor pointed to cost controls, company-owned salon improvements and a sharper focus on its largest brands under new Chief Executive Officer Susan Lintonsmith.
Lintonsmith, who recently became CEO after serving on the company’s board since January 2025 and most recently as board chair, used her first earnings call in the role to outline a strategy aimed at moving Regis “from stability to growth.” She said the company’s priorities include accelerating growth at Supercuts, improving company-owned salons and addressing underperformance at SmartStyle.
