Life Time Group reports Q4 EPS 19c, consensus 8c

Reports Q4 revenue $558.83M, consensus $556.73M. Bahram Akradi, founder, chairman and CEO, stated: “I am thrilled to report that we achieved our operating and strategic objectives and exceeded our financial goals in 2023. We set record levels of revenue and adjusted EBITDA, improved our balance sheet, and further reduced our net debt leverage ratio. We also increased member engagement through our strategic programming initiatives, as highlighted by the increase to 135 average visits per membership compared to 124 in 2022 and, most notably, 108 in 2019 before the pandemic. The increase is a clear indication that our members are more engaged with higher retention as a key outcome. We are off to a great start in 2024 and expect to build on our progress and success this year by executing our plan to be free cash flow positive after all capital expenditures beginning in the second quarter, further improving our balance sheet, reducing our net debt leverage ratio, and continuing to grow our revenue and adjusted EBITDA.”
