Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company's restricted cash consists of marketing fund restricted cash, which can only be used for activities that promote the Company’s brands and guarantee of standby letter of credit (See Note 16). Marketing fund restricted cash was $15,857 and $15,312 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The interest earned on marketing fund restricted cash accounts is also restricted for use. Total restricted cash was $16,645 and $16,063 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Accounts receivable and allowance for expected credit losses – Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from franchisees and vendors. These receivables primarily relate to royalties, advertising contributions, equipment and product sales, training, vendor commissions and other miscellaneous charges. The Company’s payment terms on its receivables from franchisees are generally 30 days. Receivables are unsecured; however, the franchise agreements provide the Company the right to withdraw funds from the franchisee’s bank account or to terminate the franchise for nonpayment.

The Company’s accounts and notes receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an allowance for expected credit losses. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts and notes receivable balances and establishes an allowance for expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses is based upon historical bad debts, current receivable balances, age of receivable balances, the franchisee's or customer’s financial condition and ability to comply with credit terms and current economic trends, all of which are subject to change. Actual uncollected amounts have historically been consistent with the Company’s expectations. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s accounts receivable and notes receivable allowance for credit losses:

Inventories – Inventories are comprised of finished goods including equipment and branded merchandise primarily held for sale to franchisees. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out method. Management analyzes obsolete, slow-moving and excess merchandise to determine adjustments that may be required to reduce the carrying value of such inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value. Write-down of obsolete or slow-moving and excess inventory charges are included in costs of product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company evaluated the recoverability of certain inventory due to brand divestitures and the agreement related to outsourcing of the Company's retail merchandising, resulting in a $2,461 excess and obsolete inventory write-down recorded in costs of product revenue.

Revenue recognition – The Company’s contracts with customers consist of franchise agreements with franchisees. The Company also enters into agreements to sell merchandise and equipment, training, on-demand video services and membership to company-owned transition studios. The Company’s revenues primarily consist of franchise license revenues, other franchise related revenues including equipment and merchandise sales and training revenue. In addition, the Company earns on-demand revenue, service revenue and other revenue.

Each of the Company’s primary sources of revenue and their respective revenue policies are discussed further below.

Franchise revenue – The Company enters into franchise agreements for each franchised studio. The Company’s performance obligation under the franchise license is granting certain rights to access the Company’s intellectual property; all other services the Company provides under the franchise agreement are highly interrelated, not distinct within the contract, and therefore accounted for as a single performance obligation, which is satisfied over the term of each franchise agreement. Those services include initial development, operational training, preopening support and access to the Company’s technology throughout the franchise term. Fees generated related to the franchise license include development fees, royalty fees, marketing fees, technology fees and transfer fees. Variable fees are not estimated at contract inception, and are recognized as revenue when invoiced, which occurs monthly. The Company has concluded that its franchise agreements do not contain any financing components.

Franchise development fee revenue – The Company’s earlier franchise agreements typically operate under ten-year terms with the option for up to two additional five-year successor or renewal terms. Starting in 2025, new franchise agreements operate under ten-year terms with the option for one additional ten-year successor term. The Company determined the successor options are neither qualitatively nor quantitatively material and do not represent a material right. Initial franchise fees are non-refundable, in the case of single unit franchise agreements, and are typically collected upon signing of the franchise agreement. Initial franchise fees are recorded as deferred revenue when received and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the franchise life, which the Company has determined to be ten years, as the Company fulfills its promise to grant the franchisee the rights to access and benefit from the Company’s intellectual property and to support and maintain the intellectual property.

Prior to the second quarter of 2025, the Company would enter into an area development agreement with certain franchisees. Area development agreements are for a territory in which a developer has agreed to develop and operate a certain number of franchise locations over a stipulated period of time. The related territory is unavailable to any other party and is no longer marketed to future franchisees by the Company. Depending on the number of studios purchased under franchise agreements or area development agreements, the initial franchise fee ranges from $60 (single studio) to $350 (ten studios) and is paid to the Company when a franchisee signs the franchise agreement or the area development agreement. Area development fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue. The development fees are allocated to the number of studios purchased under the development agreement. The revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the franchise life for each studio under the development agreement. Development fees and franchise fees are generally recognized as revenue upon the termination of the development agreement with the franchisee.

Starting in the second quarter of 2025, the Company may enter into multi-unit agreements with certain franchisees. Under these agreements, a developer has agreed to develop and operate a certain number of franchise locations over a stipulated period of time. The initial franchise fee ranges from $55 to $65 for each studio. The multi-unit agreement fees are allocated to the number of studios to be developed and as part of the agreement, franchisees are required to remit the full fee associated with the first franchise license and make nonrefundable development fee payments of $10 each to reserve the right to open the subsequent studios as specified. Fees received for franchise licenses are recorded as deferred revenue. Nonrefundable development fee payments are applied towards the multi-unit agreement fees and the remaining balance for each subsequent studio is due upon site selection for the studio and signing of a franchise agreement by the franchisee. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the franchise life for each studio under the multi-unit agreement. Multi-unit agreement fees and nonrefundable development fee payments are generally recognized as revenue upon the termination of the multi-unit agreement with the franchisee.

The Company may enter into master franchise agreements with master franchisees, under which the master franchisee sells licenses to franchisees in one or more countries, excluding the United States and Canada. The master franchise agreements generally provide a ten-year period under which the master franchisee may sell licenses. The master franchise agreement term ends on the earlier of the expiration or termination of the last franchise agreement sold by the master franchisee. Initial master franchise fees are recorded as deferred revenue when received and are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.

Franchise royalty fee revenue – Royalty revenue represents royalties earned from each of the franchised studios in accordance with the franchise disclosure document and the franchise agreement for use of the brands’ names, processes and procedures. The royalty rate in the franchise agreement is typically 7% to 8% of the gross sales of each location operated by each franchisee. The royalties are entirely related to the Company’s performance obligation under the franchise agreement and are billed and recognized as franchisee sales occur.

Technology fees – The Company may provide access to third-party or other proprietary technology solutions to the franchisees for a fee. The technology solution may include various software licenses for statistical tracking, scheduling, allowing club members to record their personal workout statistics, music and technology support. The Company bills and recognizes the technology fee as earned each month as the service is performed and access is provided.

Transfer fees – Transfer fees are paid to the Company when one franchisee transfers a franchise agreement to a different franchisee. Transfer fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the new or assumed franchise agreement, unless the original franchise agreement for an existing studio is terminated, in which case the transfer fee is recognized immediately.

Training revenue – The Company provides coach training services either through direct training of the coaches who are hired by franchisees or by providing the materials and curriculum directly to the franchisees who utilize the materials to train their hired coaches. Direct training fees are recognized over time as training is provided. Training fees for materials and curriculum are recognized at the point in time of delivery of the materials.

The Company also offers coach training and final coach certification through online classes. Fees received by the Company for online class training are recognized as revenue over time for the 12-month period that the Company is obligated to provide access to online training content.

Comprehensive income – The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within the consolidated financial statements and therefore does not separately present a consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair value measurements – Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis and requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosures of the inputs to valuations used to measure fair value.

This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates and yield curves), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs would be based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short maturities, proximity of issuance to the balance sheet date or variable interest rate.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and will lose this qualification on December 31, 2026, which is the last day of the fiscal year after the fifth anniversary of the Company's IPO, or sooner. An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company, the JOBS Act permits the Company an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period.

Income Taxes Disclosures – In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 for public business entities (“PBEs”) and December 15, 2025 for entities other than PBEs with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Statement Expense Disclosures – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated information about specified categories of expenses included in certain captions presented on the face of the income statement including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public entities with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations and Consolidation – In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity.” ASU No. 2025-03 provides clarifying guidance on determining the accounting acquirer in certain transactions involving VIEs. The update aims to improve consistency and comparability in financial reporting. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have but does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” This standard allows entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have but does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use-Software.” This standard modernizes the guidance to reflect the software development approaches currently being used by removing all references to "development stages" from ASC 350-40 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software. Under ASU 2025-06, only the following criteria in ASC 350-40-25-12(b) and (c) must be met to begin capitalizing software costs: (i) management, with the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have but does not expect it to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
