IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Xponential Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: XPOF) (“Xponential” or the “Company”), the largest global franchisor of boutique fitness brands, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. All financial figures included in this release refer to global numbers, unless otherwise noted. Definitions for the non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures are included in the tables that accompany this release.

Financial Highlights: Q2 2023 Compared to Q2 2022

• Grew revenue 30% to $77.3 million.
• Increased North America system-wide sales¹ by 37% to $341.3 million.
• Reported North America same store sales² growth of 15%, compared to growth of 25% in Q2 of 2022.
• Reported North America quarterly run-rate average unit volume (AUV)³ of $561,000, compared to $480,000.
• Posted net income of $27.5 million, or earnings per basic share of $1.44, on a share count of 33.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock, compared to a net income of $31.5 million, or earnings per basic share of $3.28, on a share count of 25.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock.
• Posted adjusted net income of $4.2 million, or adjusted earnings per basic share of $0.05, compared to an adjusted net income of $0.1 million, or adjusted loss of $0.07 per basic share.
• Reported Adjusted EBITDA⁴ of $25.3 million, an increase of 43%, compared to $17.6 million.

“The company continues to execute on our strategic growth drivers. We were pleased to announce the renewal and expansion of our partnership with lululemon in June, as well as the signing of a master franchise agreement in France, which marks Xponential’s 19th country outside of North America,” said Anthony Geisler, CEO of Xponential Fitness, Inc. “Additionally, the Board has approved a $50,000,000 stock repurchase program, and our lender, MSD Partners, has amended our term loan Financing Agreement and is funding the capital to complete the repurchase.”

Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2023

For the second quarter of 2023, total revenue increased $17.8 million, or 30%, to $77.3 million, up from $59.6 million in the prior year period. This increase included a corresponding North America same store sales increase of 15%.

Net income totaled $27.5 million, or earnings per basic share of $1.44, compared to net income of $31.5 million, or earnings per basic share of $3.28, in the prior year period. The slightly lower net income was the result of $5.3 million of higher overall profitability, offset by a $0.4 million increase in non-cash contingent consideration primarily related to the Rumble acquisition, a $1.6 million increase in non-cash equity-based compensation expense, and a $7.2 million increase in write down of brand assets associated with the acquisition of Rumble founder studios in the period. Please see the table at the end of this press release for a calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Consistent with previous periods, the Rumble acquisition non-cash contingent consideration liability is marked-to-market based on Xponential’s share price, contributing to a $31.3 million gain in the second quarter of 2023.

Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter 2023, which excludes the $31.3 million non-cash contingent consideration gain related primarily to the Rumble acquisition, $0.7 million related to the re-measurement of the Company’s tax receivable agreement, and $7.2 million related to the write down of brand assets, was $4.2 million, or a net income of $0.05 per basic share, on a share count of 33.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for equity-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, acquisition and transaction expenses, litigation expenses, financial transaction fees and related expenses, tax receivable agreement remeasurement and write down of brand assets, increased 43% to $25.3 million, up from $17.6 million in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $40.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $265.9 million in total long-term debt. Net cash provided by operating activities was $30.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

2023 Outlook

Xponential is increasing full-year 2023 guidance for system-wide sales, revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA, and re-affirming guidance for new studio openings as follows:

• New studio openings in the range of 540 to 560, or an increase of 8% at the midpoint as compared to full year 2022;
• North America system-wide sales in the range of $1.385 billion to $1.395 billion, or an increase of 35% at the midpoint as compared to full year 2022; this compares to previous guidance of $1.370 billion to $1.380 billion;
• Revenue in the range of $295.0 million to $305.0 million, or an increase of 22% at the midpoint as compared to full year 2022; this compares to previous guidance of $290.0 million to $300.0 million; and
• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $102.5 million to $106.5 million, or an increase of 41% at the midpoint as compared to full year 2022; this compares to previous guidance of $102.0 million to $106.0 million.

Additional key assumptions for full year 2023 include:

• Tax rate in the mid-to-high single digits;
• Share count of 32.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock for the GAAP EPS and Adjusted EPS calculations. A full explanation of the Company’s share count calculation and associated EPS and Adjusted EPS calculations can be found in the tables at the end of this press release; and

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use certain non-GAAP financial information, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share, which exclude certain non-operating or non-recurring items, including but not limited to, equity-based compensation expenses, acquisition and transaction expenses, litigation expenses, employee retention credit, financial transaction fees and related expenses, tax receivable agreement remeasurement, and write down of brand assets that we believe are not representative of our core business or future operating performance, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively with comparable GAAP financial measures, is helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. We seek to compensate such limitations by providing a detailed reconciliation for the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures discussed in this release, please see the tables at the end of this press release. In addition, we are not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the estimated full-year Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 without unreasonable efforts to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to certain items such as taxes, TRA remeasurements, and income and expense from changes in fair value of contingent consideration from acquisitions. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on future GAAP financial results, and, as such, we also believe that any reconciliations provided would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Note: The above adjusted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the adjusted net income (loss) attributable to holders of Class A common stock by the weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Total share count does not include potential future shares vested upon achieving certain earn-out thresholds. Net income, however, continues to take into account the non-cash contingent liability primarily due to Rumble.

Footnotes

¹System-wide sales represent gross sales by all North America studios. System-wide sales include sales by franchisees that are not revenue realized by us in accordance with GAAP. While we do not record sales by franchisees as revenue, and such sales are not included in our consolidated financial statements, this operating metric relates to our revenue because we receive approximately 7% and 2% of the sales by franchisees as royalty revenue and marketing fund revenue, respectively. We believe that this operating measure aids in understanding how we derive our royalty revenue and marketing fund revenue and is important in evaluating our performance. System-wide sales growth is driven by net new studio openings and increases in same store sales. Management reviews system-wide sales weekly, which enables us to assess changes in our franchise revenue, overall studio performance, the health of our brands and the strength of our market position relative to competitors.

² Same store sales refer to period-over-period sales comparisons for the base of studios. In accordance with industry standard, we define the same store sales base to include studios in North America that are in traditional locations and that have generated positive sales for at least 13 consecutive calendar months as of the measurement date. Any transfer of ownership of an existing studio does not affect this metric. We measure same store sales based solely upon monthly sales as reported by franchisees. This measure highlights the performance of existing studios, while excluding the impact of net new studio openings. Management reviews same store sales to assess the health of the franchised studios.

³AUV is calculated by dividing sales during the applicable period for all studios being measured by the number of studios being measured. Quarterly run-rate AUV consists of average quarterly sales activity for all North America traditional studio locations that are at least 6 months old at the beginning of the respective quarter, and that have non-zero sales in the period, multiplied by four. Monthly run-rate AUV is calculated as the monthly AUV multiplied by twelve, for studios that are at least 6 months old at the beginning of the respective month, operate in traditional locations and have nonzero sales. AUV growth is primarily driven by changes in same store sales and is also influenced by net new studio openings. Management reviews AUV to assess studio economics.

⁴We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (net income/loss 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 operating performance. These items include equity-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, acquisition and transaction expenses (including change in contingent consideration), litigation expenses (consisting of legal and related fees for specific proceedings that arise outside of the ordinary course of our business), employee retention credit (a tax credit for retaining employees throughout the COVID-19 pandemic), fees for financial transactions, such as secondary public offering expenses for which we do not receive proceeds (including bonuses paid to executives related to completion of such transactions), expense related to the remeasurement of our TRA obligation, and write down of brand assets that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance and affect comparability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and overall results of operations 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.
