Thank you, Theresa, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Joining me today are Steve Spiegel, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Eric Bakken, our Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer; and Mark Fosland, our Senior Vice President of Finance. Our last call was about 2 months ago. At that time, we discussed 3 transformational initiatives we executed in the fourth quarter that negatively impacted our performance during the fourth quarter and to the date of our last call. Much of my focus today will be on the work we are doing to stabilize the impact of these initiatives. Afterwards I will turn the call over to Steve to review our first quarter financial results in greater detail. First I would like to remind everybody of where we have been and where we're headed. This fiscal year 2013 was our year of discovery and strategy. We worked with our best operators and identified practices that would transform Regis into a best-in-class operator; crafted our long-term vision, mission and strategies; formed new leadership; and invested behind strategic initiatives to position Regis for a longer term success, balancing our earnest need [ph] to improve with the ability of our organization to manage change. Fiscal year 2014 is our year of transition and execution, and our immediate focus is on realizing the benefits from these initiatives. As I said in our last call, it has been very challenging for our organization to adapt to change. Historically there was no infrastructure in place to ensure that change was effectively cascaded throughout our organization. Developing our employees and encouraging the right behaviors will help us to stabilize the business and progress strategically. This is a critical year in our transition and will provide the foundation that will lead to a…

Thank you, Dan, and good morning. Before discussing our consolidated financial and operating performance for the first quarter, I want to remind everyone that as a result of our field reorganization, district and senior district leader labor costs are now reported within cost of service rather than G&A expenses, and their travel costs are now reported within site operating expense rather than G&A expenses. We have recasted and posted to our website historical annual and quarterly financial statements to better assist you with your comparisons. For the first quarter, Regis reported close to breakeven earnings. This included net discrete after-tax charges of $0.7 million or $0.01 per share. Excluding discrete items, first quarter diluted net earnings per share, as adjusted, were $0.01 compared to $0.08 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter came in at $27.4 million, compared to $30.4 million in the prior year quarter. With first quarter same-store sales declines of 5.4% and all other things being equal to the prior year, one would expect diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, to decline by approximately $0.12 per share. Actual diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, declined by $0.07 per share to $0.01 per share. The $0.05 per share improvement is primarily related to cost savings initiatives, cost reductions related to our field reorganization and the fact that we are lacking higher labor costs related to last year's full commission coupon event and retail incentive plan, partly offset by continued investments in salon connectivity, increased health insurance costs and higher depreciation expense. I will discuss these items in more detail shortly. We have included in today's press release as well as in our corporate website a reconciliation that bridges reported results to earnings as adjusted for the impact of discrete items for the first quarter of…

[Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from Lorraine Hutchinson with Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

A lot of initiatives going on, and just stepping back, I wanted to ask, from a customer perspective, what do you think the biggest change will be that the customer will see that will help drive traffic and repeat visits from all of these initiatives that you're working on?

Good question, Lorraine. This is Dan. I'll take that one, and then if Steve would like to comment, he can. I think the best way to answer that question is to talk about the salons that are executing well, and the ones that I've been in recently that have shown that they can take initiatives that we put in place and grow the business. It's a good quality experience. People -- we're in the affordable, for the most part, we're in the affordable haircare business, where convenience, quality and affordability are important. We need to make sure that we give a very convenient, high-quality and a fun experience. I mean people need to feel good about getting their hair cut with us. And we have found in our best operating stores that they're working to install these initiatives very effectively. And guest leave very happy and satisfied with the experience. And that's what we need to make sure that we instill across our organization. A big part of the reason that we did the restructure and we got to smaller span of control is to provide the kind of positive leadership that we think the salons need to be productive. And what will end up happening as we provide that quality leadership is that the experience will be good, wait times will be lower, attention to detail is there in the experience and then the guest will return.

Great. And have you done any benchmarking of your pricing versus local competitors? And is there work to be done there?

We've done a lot of work on pricing. We have a pricing organization. So we know what's going on with our pricing and our local competitors who -- we filled a pretty good database. As we've done some work, and we've mentioned this before, as we've done some work around testing pricing, we're in early stages on that. There's some -- I'm not ready to say that we're ready to make wholesale decisions yet, but we've done a lot of work around elasticity and we can see that we have opportunity to change pricing, not necessarily always up, some of it -- some of that opportunity is to take pricing down. We do think that that's a tool that we can leverage. We just want to make sure that when we pull a pricing lever that we've been very thoughtful about it. So we're going to get to -- we're going to give this test enough time before we make any wholesale decisions. And even after we've given that enough time, we'll roll out slowly with any pricing changes to make sure that we, most importantly, don't scare any of our guests away.

Our next question is from the line of Jeff Stein with Northcoast Research.

Dan, a question first on the product side of the business. I'm wondering, do you guys feel comfortable at this point that you've been able to identify the issues that resulted in the large drop. And you did indicate that the trend has improved recently. So I'm wondering if you could give us a little insight into the kind of run rate in comps we're looking at, at the products -- on the product side as we enter the important holiday selling season?

Sure, let me tell you what we've done. We've done a lot of work. We've got some really smart, analytical people in this company as we've built out the strength -- the analytical strength within our marketing organization, in particular. And we've got a really smart people on our merchandising group that have strong analytical abilities. So we spent a lot of time digging in really, really deep, Jeff, into what happened with the products. One of the things that we didn't talk much about on the last call is when we did this clearance sale, this was 5x larger than any clearance sale we'd ever done in the past. So it was -- this was a big, big clearance sale. And it's -- this is a category that -- it's hard to measure pantry loading, but we do believe that we did get some pull forward on pantry loading. We also looked deeply at promotional schedules. We looked at the detail around what we're doing with the actual resets themselves. We're comfortable that the changes that we've put in place are going to get us where we need to be. We're not at the point where we're forecasting, as you know, any of our -- predicting where any of our results will be. But we do feel like this is something that we're starting to get under control. One of the things we've learned through this process is that when we do anything 7,000x over is that there's going to be disruption. Now we think we've made the necessary changes now that we need to move Regis in the right direction. So we're going to live with the changes we've made. We're seeing the best operators grab them and run with them. And when I'm in salons now, and I'm with our best operators, I see strong retail sales. I see strong service sales. And really, it all comes down to the operators at the field level and the salon level to make this thing go.

So the run rate on comps coming out of the quarter, I mean, are you still running down double-digit?

We're not giving any guidance on that. We're not where we want to be. We're not going to be satisfied with where we are at retail until we see ourselves growing. And I've been in enough salons, Jeff, where I do see us growing. And it's really attention to detail. Lorraine asked that question earlier. And when we provide that kind of attention to detail to our guests, it works. I've heard a great story the other day from one of our regional VPs. He sent me a note, and with this management process we have in place, one of the commitments they had made was to get their retail sales up. They had double-digit growth. And it was focused. So we've made a lot -- we talked a lot about all the changes we've made. And I think the changes were what caused the deterioration, what's going to -- and we've -- I think we've taken all the steps necessary to get ourselves healthy, but what's really going to pull us out of this is good solid execution at retail.

Got it. Question on your field reorganization. Just kind of curious what happens when you take, for example, let's say, a supervisor who previously was a hairstylist in the Supercuts salon, and now they're managing a group of salons that include Regis, SmartStyle, MasterCuts. Are there issues with respect to understanding and being familiar with helping to supervise concepts that they're not totally familiar with, and how you're dealing with those issues?

That's an excellent question. Let me just maneuver that question just to here. We did not -- we kept Regis and the premium salons separate. So if you're in the affordable haircare business, you're just managing affordable haircare salons. So we haven't combined Regis and the other premium brands in this reorganization. We've kept them separate. And the reason we did it is just for the question you asked. We felt like that was a bridge too far to ask the people that had focused on 1 particular brand or maybe a couple of particular brands, to not only take on multiple brands but also to take on the premium brands. One thing we did do as that with our Supercuts business, we worked very hard to make sure that our Supercuts business was in a market because that's our largest chain outside of our Walmart business. We worked very hard to keep them separate. So if we could make it work, then we wouldn't do anything that would create extra expense. But if we could make it work, we had people focused on Supercuts. But, yes, we have done a lot around training. And I think we need to do a lot more to make sure that our people understand all the different brands and how they operate. It is one of the -- as we've done this, it is an opportunity we see for improvement over time as to get a more consistent standard operating procedures across our affordable haircare business, while at the same time keeping the brand integrity of both our SmartStyle business and our Supercuts business. We think both of those are key to keep separate. We've done a lot of consumer research around them. We see that the consumer behaves differently in them, and that there's opportunity for us to improve the guest experience through that research that we've done.

Got it. And then 1 real quick question, final question for Steve. Steve, wondering, with all of the puts and takes on the expense side, I'm wondering, can you give us some idea what the annual run rate on cost saves is for fiscal '14 over '13?

We don't typically give guidance on what our savings are going to be, but I think safer to say, other than some of the timing issues we referred to earlier in the release and in the scripts, we're probably at or close to those run rates now.

Our next question comes from the line of Jill Nelson with Johnson and Rice. Jill R. Caruthers - Johnson Rice & Company, L.L.C., Research Division: Question on traffic. It looks as though it was down over 7% and that was greater pressure than you've seen in the past fiscal year. Could you talk about, maybe, what percentage of your business or your customer only shops products? I wonder if that maybe was a bigger drag on traffic than anticipated.

We get about -- 20% of our business is product. I can't answer that question specifically. I can direct you to Mark after the call, Jill, and see if we can get a little more detail on that because I don't have that information right at my fingertips. Jill R. Caruthers - Johnson Rice & Company, L.L.C., Research Division: I guess, could you just maybe talk about the traffic declines accelerated quite a bit from the kind of down 2% to 3% trend -- it trended last fiscal year. If you could maybe give some insight into that?

Yes. When we made all these changes, a couple of things happened. When -- we have, as we've said that our biggest opportunity is to be able to get our salons to deal with change. And we learned through this process that, that is a challenge for them when we do a lot -- when we make a lot of changes. I believe that the changes we made were the right ones, that we put ourselves in a position to succeed going forward. But those 3 initiatives that we did in the fourth quarter did impact our traffic. If wait times get increased, that has an impact on traffic. If we don't staff the salons properly, that can have an increase on traffic. And as we made a lot of these changes, the changes caused distraction. We're working our way through that, and we believe that as we get through that, that the disruption that we saw in the fourth quarter -- that are in our fourth quarter and our first quarter, is that we can get those behind us. But, as I said, earlier, we've got 7,000 of these salons that we've got to get moving in the right direction. Where we have our best operators, they were able to deal with the changes, and they've actually been able to turn it into increased sales. So it's a question of good strong operators being able to deal with change. And that's where I think that Jim Lain, the new COO that will start next week, and Carmen Thiede, our new Chief Human Resource Officer, are going to add a ton of value because we need to be doing much better training and development than we have in the past, so that we can grow traffic. The other thing that I think is important to note in the fourth quarter and in the first quarter is there were some very, very aggressive promotions last year that we did not repeat that were a drag on profitability. And that also had an impact on traffic. So I hope that answers your question. Jill R. Caruthers - Johnson Rice & Company, L.L.C., Research Division: It does. And then just last one, in the 10-K filing, you had talked about the GP providing an incentive for stylists to get traction on the first quarter promotion. If maybe you could provide some details around that?

Yes, we haven't -- what we did is we changed a few things around compensation so that compensation is now driven based off of both the top, the revenue and on the -- and on contribution. In the past, it was only on revenue. We also put some programs together around product that we hadn't done in the past because we wanted to boost our product sales. So the -- we're always running some kind of initiative that will help stimulate traffic. The most important thing we're doing to help stimulate traffic though is this new management process that we put in place that will -- that every week, the salons are making a commitment as to what they're doing against their goals to drive traffic within their particular salons. And most encouraging thing about that is when I walk in a salon now, I can ask the stylists what their commitments are this week to drive traffic. And that's a very positive step in the right direction. And again, it comes back to our best operators at the salon level have taken this program and run with it, and we're seeing increases. Where we aren't seeing increases is because they're not executing as well, and that's a big training and development opportunity for us.

If there are no further questions, I will now turn the conference back to Dan.

Thank you, Theresa. Thanks to all of you who participate -- for participating in the call, for calling in. We'll look forward to talking to you again next quarter.

Pardon me, we do have a followup question from Jeff Stein, would you like to take that question now?

Sure.

Okay. There is a question from Jeff Stein with Northcoast Research.

Sure, Dan. Sorry to extend the call here, real quick. But staffing levels for holiday. You've got 6 fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I would imagine consumers are going to be making fewer trips to the mall and try to get more done. Are you going to be staffing the salons any differently this holiday season as a result?

We -- we're constantly -- that's a very good question, Jeff. And we are constantly focused on our staffing in every single one of our salons, and we try to stay right on top of it. One of the benefits we have now with the change in structure is we have management in the salons a lot more often than we have in the past. We'll be watching staffing very closely during the holidays. But we're very aware of, as you point out, those 6 fewer days and do potentially see that the strip centers in the malls will have a higher traffic. So we'll be on top of it. One of the beauties of our business is we can get stylists in pretty quickly if we need them in. But our staffing objectives are to be there to service the guests. We've -- and we have given control of staffing to the field leadership. We put the recommendation out there. But we expect them to be managing it, and we're seeing much, much more thoughtful management of hours from the field than we have in the past. So I guess the best way to say that is that we will be very focused on this and keep our finger right on the pulse of what's going on with traffic through the holidays.

There are no further questions at this time. Thank you.

Thanks, operator.
