Operating Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025

For the first quarter of 2025, total revenue increased $28.6 million or 11.5% to $276.7 million from $248.0 million in the prior year period. By segment:

• Franchise segment revenue increased $11.2 million or 10.7% to $115.2 million from $104.0 million in the prior year period. Of the increase, $6.0 million was due to higher royalty revenue, of which $3.6 million was attributable to a franchise same club sales increase of 6.2%, $1.3 million was attributable to new clubs opened since January 1, 2024 before they move into the same club sales base and $1.0 million was due to higher royalties on annual fees. There was also a $2.9 million increase in franchise and other fees and a $2.2 million increase in National Advertising Fund ("NAF") revenue.
• Corporate-owned clubs segment revenue increased $11.3 million or 9.2% to $133.7 million from $122.4 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to $6.7 million from the corporate-owned clubs in the same club sales base, of which $4.8 million was attributable to a same club sales increase of 5.1%, $1.5 million was attributable to annual fee revenue and $0.4 million was attributable to other fees. Additionally, $4.6 million was from new clubs opened since January 1, 2024 before they move into the same club sales base.
• Equipment segment revenue increased $6.2 million or 28.7% to $27.8 million from $21.6 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to $8.9 million of higher revenue from equipment sales to existing franchisee-owned clubs, partially offset by $2.7 million of lower revenue from equipment sales to new franchisee-owned clubs. In the first quarter of 2025, we had equipment sales to 10 new franchisee-owned clubs compared to 14 in the prior year period.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents our Adjusted EBITDA broken out by the Company's reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company's core operations, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" accompanying this press release.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA was a follows:

• Franchise Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $8.7 million or 11.5% to $84.9 million. This increase was primarily attributable to higher franchise segment revenue as described above, partially offset by $2.2 million of higher NAF expense and $0.4 million of higher selling, general and administrative expense;
• Corporate-owned clubs Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.5 million or 8.1% to $45.8 million. This increase was primarily attributable to $4.3 million from the corporate-owned same clubs sales increase of 5.1% and $0.5 million from new clubs opened since January 1, 2024 before they move into the same club sales base, partially offset by $1.2 million from the opening and operating of seven clubs in Spain.
• Equipment Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.6 million or 55.1% to $7.4 million. This increase was primarily driven by higher equipment sales to existing franchisee-owned clubs, as described above, and higher margin equipment sales related to an updated equipment mix as a result of the adoption of the franchise growth model.

2025 Outlook

The Company is developing mitigation plans for potential tariff impacts and believes at the current tariff levels, its exposure is limited. ?During this period of uncertainty, we are reiterating our guidance expectations for the year ending December 31, 2025. This guidance does not include estimates or assumptions regarding the impact of tariffs beyond the existing regulations currently in place.

For the year ending December 31, 2025, the Company is reiterating the following expectations:

• It continues to expect new equipment placements of approximately 130 to 140 in franchisee-owned locations.
• It continues to expect system-wide new club openings of approximately 160 to 170 locations.

The following are 2025 growth expectations over the Company's 2024 results:

• It continues to expect system-wide same club sales growth in the 5% to 6% range.
• It continues to expect revenue to increase approximately 10%.
• It continues to expect adjusted EBITDA to increase approximately 10%.
• It continues to expect adjusted net income to increase in the 8% to 9% range.
• It continues to expect adjusted net income per share, diluted to increase in the 11% to 12% range, based on adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 84.5 million, inclusive of shares expected to be repurchased in 2025.

The Company continues to expect 2025 net interest expense to be approximately $86.0 million. It now expects capital expenditures to increase approximately 20% (previously it expected an approximately 25% increase) and continues to expect depreciation and amortization to remain flat compared to 2024.

Presentation of Financial Measures

Planet Fitness, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in March 2015 for the purpose of facilitating the initial public offering (the "IPO") and related recapitalization transactions that occurred in August 2015, and in order to carry on the business of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC ("Pla-Fit Holdings") and its subsidiaries. As the sole managing member of Pla-Fit Holdings, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Pla-Fit Holdings, and through Pla-Fit Holdings, conducts its business. As a result, the Company consolidates Pla-Fit Holdings' financial results and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of Pla-Fit Holdings not owned by the Company.

The financial information presented in this press release includes non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to provide measures that we believe are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures of the Company's performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP financial measures such as net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in the future, the Company may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar amounts or other unusual or nonrecurring items. See the tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in our full-year outlook will differ from net income and net income per share, diluted, determined in accordance with GAAP in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations at the end of this press release. We do not provide guidance for net income or net income per share, diluted, determined in accordance with GAAP or a reconciliation of guidance for Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in our net income and net income per share, diluted, for the year ending December 31, 2025. These items are uncertain, depend on many factors and could have a material impact on our net income and net income per share, diluted, for the year ending December 31, 2025, and therefore cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.

Same club sales refers to year-over-year sales comparisons for the same club sales base of both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs, which is calculated for a given period by including only sales from clubs that had sales in the comparable months of both years. We define the same club sales base to include those clubs that have been open and for which monthly membership dues have been billed for longer than 12 months. We measure same club sales based solely upon monthly dues billed to members of our corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs.

Investor Conference Call

The Company will hold a conference call at 8:00AM (ET) on May 8, 2025 to discuss the news announced in this press release. A live webcast of the conference call will be accessible at www.planetfitness.com via the "Investor Relations" link. The webcast will be archived on the website for one year.

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted (collectively, the "non-GAAP financial measures"). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release are supplemental measures of the Company's performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP financial measures such as net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in the future, the Company may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA

We refer to Adjusted EBITDA as we use this measure to evaluate our operating performance and we believe this measure is useful to investors in evaluating our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company's core operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of other items that we believe reduce the comparability of our underlying core business performance from period to period and is therefore useful to our investors. Our Board of Directors uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric to assess the performance of management. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker also uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is Adjusted EBITDA specific to each of our three reportable segments, to assess the financial performance of and allocate resources to our segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Corporate overhead costs not directly attributable to any individual segment are not allocated to the three segments and are included in Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA within Adjusted EBITDA.

Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA(1)	(21,151)		(17,023)
Adjusted EBITDA(2)	$ 117,005		$ 106,311

⁽¹⁾ Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA includes adjusted corporate overhead costs, such as payroll and related benefit costs and professional services that are not directly attributable to any individual segment and thus are unallocated.

⁽²⁾ Segment Adjusted EBITDA plus the Adjusted EBITDA of corporate and other is equal to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. Refer to "-Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share

Our presentation of Adjusted net income assumes that all net income is attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc., which assumes the full exchange of all outstanding Holdings Units for shares of Class A common stock of Planet Fitness, Inc., adjusted for certain non-cash and other items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations. Adjusted net income per share, diluted, is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income by the total weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding plus any dilutive options and restricted stock units as calculated in accordance with GAAP and assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Holdings Units and corresponding Class B common stock as of the beginning of each period presented. Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, supplement GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period.

A reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted net income, and the computation of Adjusted net income per share, diluted, are set forth below.
