Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025

For the first quarter of 2025, total revenue decreased $2.8 million, or 4%, to $76.9 million, down from $79.7 million in the prior year period, as increases in franchise and marketing fund revenues were offset by decreases in other service, merchandise and equipment revenues.

Net loss totaled $2.7 million, or loss of $0.10 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or a loss of $0.29 per basic share, in the prior year period. The change in net loss was the result of $1.2 million of lower profitability, $15.5 million increase in litigation expenses, a $1.9 million increase in impairment of goodwill and other noncurrent assets, a $0.9 million increase in transformation initiative costs, and a $0.7 million increase in other miscellaneous costs; offset by a $13.2 million decrease in acquisition and transaction expenses, which includes non-cash contingent consideration primarily related to the Rumble acquisition, a $7.3 million decrease in restructuring and related charges, and a $0.9 million decrease in equity-based compensation and related taxes. Please see the table at the end of this press release for a calculation of the loss per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2025, which excludes $8.6 million in acquisition and transaction income, a $1.1 million expense related to the remeasurement of the Company’s tax receivable agreement, $1.9 million related to the impairment of goodwill and other noncurrent assets, $0.1 million loss and ongoing expenses due to brand divestitures and wind down, and $0.6 million of restructuring and related charges, was $7.7 million, or an adjusted net loss of $0.20 per basic share, on a share count of 33.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as 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, was $27.3 million for the quarter, down 9% from $29.9 million in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $42.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $379.1 million in total long-term debt. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

2025 Outlook

The Company is lowering guidance on global net new studio openings, and reiterating guidance on system wide sales, total revenue, and adjusted EBITDA for full year 2025. This compares to 2024 results as follows:

 

   

Net new studio openings in the range of 160 to 180, or a decrease of 29% at the midpoint;

 

   

North America system-wide sales in the range of $1.935 billion to $1.955 billion, or an increase of 13% at the midpoint;


   

Revenue in the range of $315.0 million to $325.0 million, representing no change at the midpoint; and

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $120.0 million to $125.0 million, or an increase of 5% at the midpoint.

Additional key assumptions for full year 2025 include:

 

   

Tax rate in the mid-to-high-single digits;

 

   

Share count of 34.8 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

 

   

$1.9 million in quarterly dividends paid related to the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock, or $2.2 million if paid-in-kind.

We are not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the estimated full year Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 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.

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 and related employer payroll taxes, acquisition and transaction expenses (income), litigation expenses, financial transaction fees and related expenses, tax receivable agreement remeasurement, impairment of goodwill and other noncurrent assets, loss (gain) and ongoing expenses related to brand divestitures and wind down, transformation initiative costs, and charges incurred in connection with our restructuring plan 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 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 attributable to Rumble.

Footnotes

1. System-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 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. AUV is calculated by dividing sales during the applicable period for all studios contributing to AUV by the number of studios contributing to AUV. All traditional studio locations in North America are included in the AUV calculation, so long as they meet certain time since opening and sales criteria (as defined immediately below). In particular, AUV (LTM as of period end) and Quarterly AUV (run rate) are calculated as follows:


   

AUV (LTM as of period end) consists of the average sales for the trailing 12 calendar months for all traditional studio locations in North America that opened at least 13 calendar months ago as of the measurement date and that have generated positive sales for each of the last 13 calendar months as of the measurement date.

 

   

Quarterly AUV (run rate) consists of average quarterly sales for all traditional studio locations in North America that had opened at least six calendar months ago as of the beginning of the respective quarter, and that have non-zero sales in the respective quarter (including nominal or negative sales figures; the only figures excluded are exact $0 amounts in the quarter), multiplied by four.

We measure sales for AUV based solely upon monthly sales as derived through the designated point-of-sale system. AUV is impacted by changes in same store sales, studio openings, and studio closures. Management reviews AUV to assess studio economics.

3. The accompanying financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2024 have been corrected from amounts previously reported. The details of the corrections of 2024 financials will be included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

4. Same store sales refer to period-over-period sales comparisons for the base of studios. We define the same store sales base to include monthly sales for any traditional studio location in North America. If the studio has generated at least 13 months of consecutive positive sales and opened at least 13 calendars months ago as of any month within the measurement period, the respective comparable months will be included. We measure same store sales based solely upon monthly sales as derived through the designated point-of-sale system. 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.

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 and related employer payroll taxes, acquisition and transaction expenses (income) (including change in contingent consideration and transaction bonuses), litigation expenses (consisting of legal and related fees for specific proceedings that arise outside of the ordinary course of our business), 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) and other contemplated corporate transactions, expense related to the remeasurement of our TRA obligation, expense related to loss on impairment or write down of goodwill and other noncurrent assets, loss (gain) and ongoing expenses related to brand divestitures and wind down (including ongoing expenses directly related to the divested or wound down brands for arrangements that existed prior to divestiture or wind down), transformation initiative costs (primarily consisting of third-party professional consulting fees related to modifications of our business strategy and cost saving initiatives), and restructuring and related charges incurred in connection with our restructuring plan that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance and affect comparability.
