IRVINE, Calif., August 11, 2022 – 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, 2022. 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 measurements are included in the tables that accompany this release.

Financial Highlights: Q2 2022 Compared to Q2 2021

 

   

Grew revenue 66% to $59.6 million.

 

   

Increased North America system-wide sales1 by 45% to $249.8 million.

 

   

Reported North America same store sales2 growth of 25%.

 

   

Reported North America quarterly run-rate average unit volume (AUV)3 of $480,000, compared to $384,000.

 

   

Posted net income of $31.5 million, or earnings of $3.28 per share, on a share count of 25.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock, compared to a net loss of $8.0 million.4

 

   

Posted Adjusted Net Income of $0.1 million, or a loss of $0.07 per share, compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $7.8 million.4

 

   

Reported Adjusted EBITDA5 of $17.6 million, compared to $8.3 million.

“We experienced a strong year-over-year increase in members and grew our system-wide sales across North America for the eighth consecutive time in the second quarter,” said Anthony Geisler, CEO of Xponential Fitness, Inc. “The dynamic year-over-year growth in North America run-rate AUVs is a solid reminder that despite inflationary pressures to date, the workouts our franchisees provide across our diverse portfolio of ten brands are an integral part of our members’ lives.”

Mr. Geisler continued, “For the remainder of the year, we expect the strong growth in the business to continue. Accordingly, we are increasing our fiscal 2022 outlook to reflect 39% revenue growth and 156% Adjusted EBITDA growth at the midpoint of our outlook ranges compared to 2021.”

For the second quarter 2022, total revenue increased $23.8 million, or 66%, to $59.6 million, up from $35.8 million in the prior-year period. Total revenue increased largely due to increasing equipment installations and royalties generated from strong North American system-wide sales.

Net income totaled $31.5 million, or earnings of $3.28 per share, compared to a net loss of $8.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase was the result of $11.6 million of higher overall profitability and $31.8 million of lower non-cash contingent consideration expense primarily related to the Rumble acquisition, offset by a $4.0 million increase in non-cash equity-based compensation expense. Please see the table contained in this press release for a calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

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 $31.6 million decrease to contingent consideration liability in the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted net income (loss) for the second quarter of 2022, which excludes the $31.6 million change in fair value of non-cash contingent consideration and $0.2 million expense related to the second quarter remeasurement of the Company’s tax receivable agreement liability, was $0.1 million, or ($0.07) per share, which is based on 25.4 million shares of Class A common stock.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for equity-based compensation, acquisition and transaction expenses, management fees, litigation expenses, employee retention credit, secondary public offering expenses and tax receivable agreement remeasurement, increased to $17.6 million, up from $8.3 million in the prior-year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $29.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $131.7 million in total long-term debt. Net cash provided by operating activities was $26.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

2022 Outlook

Based on the Company’s performance in the first six months of 2022 and the current state of the business as of the date of this press release, Xponential is increasing its full-year 2022 guidance for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA and re-affirming guidance for studio openings and system-wide sales in North America as follows:

 

   

New studio openings to remain in the range of 500 to 520, or an increase of 53% at the midpoint as compared to full year 2021;

 

   

North America system-wide sales to remain in the range of $995.0 million to $1.005 billion, or an increase of 41% at the midpoint as compared to full year 2021;

 

   

Revenue is now anticipated to be $211.0 million to $221.0 million, or an increase of 39% at the midpoint as compared to full year 2021; this compares to previous guidance of $201.0 million to $211.0 million, or an increase of 33% at the midpoint as compared to full year 2021; and

Adjusted EBITDA is now anticipated to be $68.0 million to $72.0 million, or an increase of 156% at the midpoint compared to full year 2021; this compares to previous guidance of $67.0 million to $71.0 million, or an increase of 153% at the midpoint as compared to full year 2021.

Additional key assumptions for full year 2022 include:

 

   

Tax rate in mid-to-high single digits;

 

   

Share count of approximately 25.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock for the GAAP EPS and Adjusted EPS calculations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use certain non-GAAP financial information, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted net earnings per share, which exclude certain non-operating or non-recurring items, including but not limited to, equity-based compensation expenses, acquisition and transaction related expenses, litigation expenses, and secondary public offering expenses, 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.

Note: The above Adjusted Net Loss per share is computed by dividing the net 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.

System-wide sales represent gross sales by all North American 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 new studio openings and increases in same store sales. Management reviews system-wide sales daily, 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. We define the same store sales base to include studios in North America that have been open for at least 13 calendar months as of the measurement date. Any transfer of ownership of a 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 new studio openings. Management reviews same store sales to assess the health of the franchised studios.

 

3 

AUV 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 for all studios that are at least 6 months old at the beginning of the respective quarter, 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. AUV growth is primarily driven by changes in same store sales and is also influenced by new studio openings. Management reviews AUV to assess studio economics.

No comparison of net loss per share, and Adjusted Net Loss per share to Q2 2021 is provided as such comparison is not meaningful given the Company’s pre-IPO capital structure.

 

5 

We 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, acquisition and transaction expenses (including change in contingent consideration), management fees and expenses (that were discontinued after July 2021), 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 credit for retaining employees throughout the COVID-19 pandemic), secondary public offering expenses for which we do not receive proceeds and expense related to the remeasurement of our TRA obligation 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.
