Planet Fitness, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results

System-wide same store sales increased 13.6%

Ends second quarter with total membership of more than 16.5 million

More than 3.3 million High School Summer Pass participants through end of July

HAMPTON, N.H., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Planet Fitness, Inc. (NYSE:PLNT) reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“Our high-quality, affordable fitness experience resonates now more than ever as Americans are seeking value and feeling the rising costs of everyday items such as food and gas. We believe that people will continue to prioritize their health and wellness while being more cost-conscious, and we offer a welcoming environment for people of all fitness levels. During the second quarter, our join trend returned to pre-pandemic seasonality with the addition of approximately 300,000 net new members, ending the quarter with more than 16.5 million,” said Chris Rondeau, Chief Executive Officer. “We now have more than 3.3 million teens enrolled in our High School Summer Pass, a program that offers teens a chance to work out for free at our gyms over the summer – an extremely important initiative given the ongoing and alarming teen mental health crisis. This is more than three times the number of participants than when we last ran the program in 2019. Nearly 15 percent of all high school-aged teens in the U.S. are either enrolled in the program or are a paying member at Planet Fitness. We’re proud to be helping them establish healthy habits that they can build upon into the future.”

Operating Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2022

For the second quarter 2022, total revenue increased $87.2 million or 63.5% to $224.4 million from $137.3 million in the prior year period, which included system-wide same store sales growth of 13.6%.  By segment:

  • Franchise segment revenue increased $9.7 million or 13.3% to $82.5 million from $72.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in franchise segment revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to a $6.2 million increase in franchise royalty revenue, a $1.6 million increase in National Advertising Fund (“NAF”) revenue, and a $1.7 million increase in placement revenue. Of the $6.2 million increase in royalty revenue, $5.9 million was attributable to a same store sales increase of 13.4% in franchisee-owned stores, $1.9 million was attributable to new stores opened since April 1, 2021 or stores that were not open for all of the prior year period due to COVID-related temporary closures, and $0.8 million was from higher royalties on annual fees. Partially offsetting the royalty revenue increases was a decrease of approximately $3.1 million as a result of the stores acquired in the acquisition of Sunshine Fitness Growth Holdings, LLC in the first quarter of 2022 (the “Sunshine Acquisition”) moving from the franchise segment to the corporate-owned segment;
  • Corporate-owned stores segment revenue increased $60.9 million or 150.0% to $101.5 million from $40.6 million in the prior year period. Of the increase, $49.5 million was attributable to the acquisition of 114 stores in the Sunshine Acquisition, $5.3 million was from the corporate-owned store same store sales increase of 15.7%, $4.0 million was from new stores opened since April 1, 2021 and stores that were not open for all of the prior year period due to COVID-related temporary closures, and the remainder due to higher annual fee revenue; and
  • Equipment segment revenue increased $16.6 million or 69.8% to $40.4 million from $23.8 million in the prior year period, driven by higher equipment sales to new and existing franchisee-owned stores in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had equipment sales to 26 new franchisee-owned stores compared to 19 in the prior year period.

For the second quarter of 2022, net income attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. was $22.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $14.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net income was $25.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $15.0 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income increased $16.3 million to $34.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, from $18.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income has been adjusted to reflect a normalized federal income tax rate of 26.7% and 26.6% for the current and prior year period, respectively, and excludes certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”).

Adjusted EBITDA, which 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 the evaluation of ongoing operational performance (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”), increased $34.3 million to $89.9 million from $55.6 million in the prior year period.

Segment EBITDA represents our Total Segment EBITDA broken down by the Company’s reportable segments. Total Segment EBITDA is equal to EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”).

  • Franchise segment EBITDA increased $2.6 million to $54.3 million. The increase in franchise segment EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the revenue increases described above. Partially offsetting these EBITDA increases, NAF expense was $5.4 million higher in the three months ended June 30, 2022 than in the prior year period;
  • Corporate-owned stores segment EBITDA increased $29.1 million to $39.5 million. Of the increase, $20.7 million was attributable to corporate-owned stores acquired in the Sunshine Acquisition and $9.8 million due to the same store sales increase of 15.7%, partially offset by higher corporate-owned store selling general and administrative expense primarily as a result of the Sunshine Acquisition; and
  • Equipment segment EBITDA increased by $4.6 million to $10.2 million driven by higher equipment sales to new and existing franchisee-owned stores in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, as described above.

Company Updates

This morning the Company announced that Dorvin Lively, President, has decided to retire and will transition through the next couple of months. Dorvin joined Planet Fitness in 2013 as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and was instrumental in developing its finance organization, preparing the Company to go public and then leading the IPO in 2015, and, more broadly, expanding the brand both domestically and globally. The Company has begun a search for a new President.

“We are grateful for Dorvin’s leadership, friendship, passion for our member and franchisees, and significant contributions to the brand over the past nine years. Personally, I’d like to thank Dorvin for helping me lead Planet Fitness and I am forever grateful for his guidance and support,” said Chris Rondeau, Chief Executive Officer.

2022 Outlook

For the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company is reiterating the following expectations as compared to the Company’s 2021 results, which includes the impact from the Sunshine Acquisition and assumes there is no significant worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic that seriously impacts performance, including prolonged store closures or other mandated operational restrictions:

  • New equipment placements of approximately 170 in franchisee-owned locations
  • System-wide same store sales in the low double-digit percentage range

The following are 2022 growth expectations over the Company’s 2021 results:

  • Revenue to increase in the mid-50 percent range
  • Adjusted EBITDA to increase in the high-50 percent range
  • Adjusted Net Income to increase in the low-90 percent range
  • Adjusted earnings per share to increase in the mid-80 percent range, based on Adjusted diluted shares outstanding of approximately 90.7 million, inclusive of the issuance of equity as part of the Sunshine Acquisition and the second quarter share repurchase

The Company now expects 2022 net interest expense to be approximately $86 million as a result of its recent debt refinancing and upsizing.

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 EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Total Segment EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

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

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 EBITDA 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, 2022. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company’s guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure cannot be made available without unreasonable effort. 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, 2022.

Investor Conference Call

The Company will hold a conference call at 8:00 AM (ET) on August 9, 2022 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: EBITDA, Total Segment EBITDA, 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.

EBITDA, Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We refer to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as we use these measures to evaluate our operating performance and we believe these measures provide useful information to investors in evaluating our performance. We have also disclosed Segment EBITDA as an important financial metric utilized by the Company to evaluate performance and allocate resources to segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. We define EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Segment EBITDA sums to Total Segment EBITDA which is equal to the Non-GAAP financial metric EBITDA. We believe that EBITDA, which eliminates the impact of certain expenses that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance, provides useful information to investors to assess the performance of our segments as well as the business as a whole. Our board of directors also uses EBITDA as a key metric to assess the performance of management. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain additional non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company’s core operations. These items include certain purchase accounting adjustments, stock offering-related costs, and certain other charges and gains. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance in addition to EBITDA 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 in comparing the core performance of our business from period to period.

(1)

Includes a $1,583 loss on extinguishment of debt in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

(2)

Represents the impact of revenue-related purchase accounting adjustments associated with the acquisition of Pla-Fit Holdings on November 8, 2012 by TSG (the “2012 Acquisition”). At the time of the 2012 Acquisition, the Company maintained a deferred revenue account, which consisted of deferred area development agreement fees, deferred franchise fees, and deferred enrollment fees that the Company billed and collected upfront but recognizes for U.S. GAAP purposes at a later date. In connection with the 2012 Acquisition, it was determined that the carrying amount of deferred revenue was greater than the fair value assessed in accordance with ASC 805—Business Combinations, which resulted in a write-down of the carrying value of the deferred revenue balance upon application of acquisition push-down accounting under ASC 805. These amounts represent the additional revenue that would have been recognized in these periods if the write-down to deferred revenue had not occurred in connection with the application of acquisition pushdown accounting.

(3)

Represents the impact of rent-related purchase accounting adjustments. In accordance with guidance in ASC 805 – Business Combinations, in connection with the 2012 Acquisition, the Company’s deferred rent liability was required to be written off as of the acquisition date and rent was recorded on a straight-line basis from the acquisition date through the end of the lease term. This resulted in higher overall recorded rent expense each period than would have otherwise been recorded had the deferred rent liability not been written off as a result of the acquisition push down accounting applied in accordance with ASC 805. Adjustments of $45, $33, $90 and $82 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflect the difference between the higher rent expense recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP since the acquisition and the rent expense that would have been recorded had the 2012 Acquisition not occurred. Adjustments of $64, $64, $129, and $132 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are due to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases. All of the rent related purchase accounting adjustments are adjustments to rent expense which is included in store operations on our consolidated statements of operations.

(4)

Represents the impact of a non-cash loss recorded in accordance with ASC 805 – Business Combinations related to our acquisition of franchisee-owned stores. The loss recorded under U.S. GAAP represents the difference between the fair value and the contractual terms of the reacquired franchise rights and is included in other (gains) losses, net on our consolidated statement of operations.

(5)

Represents a gain on settlement of deferred revenue from existing contracts with acquired franchisee-stores recorded in accordance with ASC 805 – Business Combinations, and is included in other (gains) losses, net on our consolidated statement of operations.

(6)

Represents transaction fees and acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with our acquisition of franchisee-owned stores.

(7)

Represents a loss (gain) on the adjustment of the allowance for credit losses on the Company’s held-to-maturity investments.

(8)

Represents dividend income on held-to-maturity investments.

(9)

Represents costs associated with new corporate-owned stores incurred prior to the store opening, including payroll-related costs, rent and occupancy expenses, marketing and other store operating supply expenses.

(10)

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the amounts represent a reserve against an indemnification receivable related to a legal matter. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the amounts represent an insurance recovery of previously recognized expenses related to the settlement of legal claims.

(11)

Represents gains related to the adjustment of our tax benefit arrangements primarily due to changes in our deferred state tax rate.

(12)

Represents certain other charges and gains that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance.

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