Third Quarter 2025 Information
- Revenue increased 12.9% to $782.6 million due to continued strong growth in membership dues and in-center revenue, driven by an increase in average dues, membership growth in our new and ramping centers, and higher member utilization of our in-center offerings, particularly in Dynamic Personal Training.
- Center memberships of 840,622 increased by 14,120, or 1.7%, when compared to September 30, 2024, and decreased consistent with seasonality expectations by 9,021, or 1.1%, from June 30, 2025.
- Total subscriptions, which include center memberships and on-hold memberships, of 891,225 increased 1.7% compared to September 30, 2024.

- Net income increased 147.3% to $102.4 million primarily due to business performance, tax-effected net cash proceeds of $16.2 million received from employee retention credits under the CARES Act, and a tax-effected net gain of $5.7 million on a sale-leaseback transaction. Net income in the prior year period included a tax-effected net loss of $3.5 million on sale-leaseback transactions and $0.5 million from a gain on the sale of land.

- Net income increased 110.5% to $250.7 million primarily due to improved business performance, a $15.2 million tax benefit as a result of an excess tax deduction associated with stock option exercises, and tax-effected net cash proceeds of $27.2 million received from employee retention credits under the CARES Act, partially offset by a tax-effected net loss of $3.8 million on sale-leaseback transactions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
This press release includes certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and net debt and ratios and calculations with respect thereto. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, net income, net income per common share, net cash provided by operating activities or total debt (defined as long-term debt, net of current portion, plus current maturities of debt) as a measure of financial performance or liquidity or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated.
Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations, less the tax effect of these adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of construction reimbursements, plus net proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions and land sales. Net debt is defined as long-term debt, net of current portion, plus current maturities of debt, excluding fair value adjustments, unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs, minus cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is as of the last day of the respective quarter or year. Our net debt leverage ratio is calculated as our net debt divided by our trailing twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA.
The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes that these measures assist investors and analysts in comparing the Company's operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance, and management believes that free cash flow assists investors and analysts in evaluating our liquidity and cash flows, including our ability to make principal payments on our indebtedness and to fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Investors are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating the non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that, in the future, the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in the Company's presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures. There can be no assurance that the Company will not modify the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures in future periods, and any such modification may be material. In addition, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in the Company's industry or across different industries.
The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

| (1) | We define Average Center revenue per center membership as Center revenue less On-hold revenue, divided by the average number of Center memberships for the period, where the average number of Center memberships for the period is an average derived from dividing the sum of the total Center memberships outstanding at the beginning of the period and at the end of each month during the period by one plus the number of months in each period. |
| (2) | We measure the results of our centers based on how long each center has been open as of the most recent measurement period. We include a center, for comparable center revenue purposes, beginning on the first day of the 13th full calendar month of the center's operation, in order to assess the center's growth rate after one year of operation. |
| (3) | Net new center openings is calculated as the number of centers that opened for the first time to members during the period, less any centers that closed during the period. Total centers (end of period) is the number of centers operational as of the last day of the period. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we opened one center. |
| (4) | Total center square footage (end of period) reflects the aggregate square footage, excluding the areas used for tennis courts, outdoor swimming pools, outdoor play areas and stand-alone Work, Sport and Swim locations. We use this metric for evaluating the efficiencies of a center as of the end of the period. These figures are approximations. |
| (5) | Net income margin is calculated as net income divided by total revenue. |
| (6) | We present Adjusted net income as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted net income as net income excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations, less the tax effect of these adjustments. |
| | |
| | Adjusted net income margin is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by total revenue. |

| | (a) | Share-based compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was associated with stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, our employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP"), and liability-classified awards related to our 2025 short-term incentive plan. Share-based compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was associated with stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, our ESPP and liability-classified awards related to our 2024 short-term incentive plan. |
| | (b) | We adjust for the impact of gains and losses on the sale-leaseback of our properties as they do not reflect costs associated with our ongoing operations. |
| | (c) | Represents one-time costs related to capital transactions, including debt and equity offerings that are non-recurring in nature. |
| | (d) | We adjust for the impact of unusual legal settlements as these costs are non-recurring in nature and do not reflect costs associated with our normal ongoing operations. |
| | (e) | Represents refundable payroll tax credits for employee retention under the CARES Act. |
| | (f) | Includes (i) legal-related expenses in pursuit of our claim against Zurich of $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, (ii) a $3.5 million write-off of the unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs associated with the extinguishment of our former term loan facility and construction loan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, (iii) gain on sales of land of $0.6 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and (iv) other immaterial transactions that are unusual or non-recurring in nature of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. |
| | (g) | Represents the estimated tax effect of the total adjustments made to arrive at Adjusted net income using the effective income tax rates for the respective periods. |
| | | |
| (7) | We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations. | |
| | | |
| | Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. | |

| (8) | Represents non-capital expenditures associated with opening new centers that are incurred prior to the commencement of a new center opening. The number of centers under construction or development, the types of centers and our costs associated with any particular center opening can vary significantly from period to period. | |
| (9) | Reflects the non-cash portion of our annual GAAP operating lease expense that is greater or less than the cash operating lease payments. Non-cash rent expense for our open properties represents non-cash expense associated with properties that were operating at the end of each period presented. Non-cash rent expense for our properties under development represents non-cash expense associated with properties that are still under development at the end of each period presented. | |
| (10) | Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of construction reimbursements, plus net proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions and land sales. | |
