Planet Fitness, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2024 Results

Finanznachrichten News

Increases 2024 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook

Initiated new $500 million share repurchase program upon $280 million share repurchase completion

Appointed Jay Stasz as Chief Financial Officer, effective November 15, 2024

HAMPTON, N.H., Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Planet Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: PLNT) reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"We delivered solid results in the quarter, including more than 5 percent revenue growth, approximately 3 percent net income growth and approximately 10 percent Adjusted EBITDA growth, and are raising our outlook for certain key financial targets," said Colleen Keating, Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, I had the opportunity to address franchisees, club employees, and our team members at our franchisee conference. This was an important opportunity to reinforce our strategic priorities of redefining our brand, enhancing member experience, refining our product, and accelerating club openings, which we expect will drive our next phase of growth. The enthusiasm the franchisees showed was highly encouraging. We also achieved a significant milestone by raising the price of our Classic Card membership to $15 for new members, marking the first increase in over 25 years, underscoring the tremendous value that we continue to offer our members. I am energized by our purpose of enhancing people's lives and creating a healthier world and believe it sets us, our franchisees, and our shareholders up for long-term success."

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights

  • Total revenue increased from the prior year period by 5.3% to $292.2 million.
  • System-wide same club sales (which was historically referred to as "same store sales") increased 4.3%.
  • System-wide sales increased to $1.2 billion from $1.1 billion in the prior year period.
  • Net income attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. was $42.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $39.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Net income increased $1.1 million to $42.4 million, compared to $41.3 million in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted net income(1) increased $2.9 million to $54.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted share(1), compared to $51.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $11.2 million to $123.1 million from $111.9 million in the prior year period.

(1) Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per share, diluted are non-GAAP measures. For reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income to U.S. GAAP ("GAAP") net income and a computation of Adjusted net income per share, diluted, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" accompanying this press release.

Operating Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2024

For the third quarter of 2024, total revenue increased $14.7 million or 5.3% to $292.2 million from $277.6 million in the prior year period, including system-wide same club sales growth of 4.3%. By segment:

  • Franchise segment revenue increased $4.3 million or 4.3% to $102.4 million from $98.2 million in the prior year period. Of the increase, $6.0 million was due to higher royalty revenue, of which $3.2 million was attributable to a franchise same club sales increase of 4.5%, $1.6 million was attributable to new clubs opened since July 1, 2023 and $1.2 million was from higher royalties on annual fees. The increase was partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in franchise and other fees, a $1.4 million decrease in placement revenue primarily driven by lower equipment placements, and a $0.9 million decrease in revenue associated with the sale of HVAC units to franchisees. Franchise segment revenue also includes $2.0 million of higher National Advertising Fund ("NAF") revenue;
  • Corporate-owned clubs (which was historically referred to as corporate-owned stores) segment revenue increased $14.9 million or 13.1% to $128.1 million from $113.2 million in the prior year period. Of the increase, $9.6 million was attributable to corporate-owned clubs included in the same club sales base, of which $4.6 million was attributable to a same club sales increase of 3.4%, $1.1 million was attributable to higher annual fee revenue and $3.9 million was attributable to other fees. Additionally, $5.3 million was from new clubs opened since July 1, 2023; and
  • Equipment segment revenue decreased $4.4 million or 6.7% to $61.7 million from $66.1 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower revenue from equipment sales to new franchisee-owned clubs. In the third quarter of 2024, we had equipment sales to 15 new franchisee-owned clubs compared to 22 in the prior year period.

For the third quarter of 2024, net income attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. was $42.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $39.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net income was $42.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $41.3 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income increased 5.7% to $54.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, from $51.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income has been adjusted to reflect a normalized income tax rate of 25.8% and 25.9% for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and excludes certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures").

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"), increased 10.0% to $123.1 million from $111.9 million in the prior year period.

Segment EBITDA represents our Total Segment EBITDA broken down by the Company's reportable segments. Total Segment EBITDA is equal to EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures").

  • Franchise segment EBITDA increased $5.2 million or 7.7% to $72.8 million. The increase is primarily the result of a $4.3 million increase in franchise segment revenue as described above, $1.6 million of lower selling, general and administrative expense, and $1.4 million of lower cost of revenue primarily from lower cost of HVAC units sold to franchisees, partially offset by $2.1 million of higher NAF expense;
  • Corporate-owned clubs segment EBITDA increased $5.8 million or 13.2% to $50.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to $7.0 million from corporate-owned clubs included in the same club sales base, partially offset by lower EBITDA of $0.6 million from new clubs opened since July 1, 2023 and $0.6 million of higher selling, general and administrative expense.
  • Equipment segment EBITDA increased $2.1 million or 12.5% to $18.5 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher margin equipment sales related to an updated equipment mix as a result of the adoption of the new growth model, partially offset by lower equipment sales to new franchisee-owned clubs, as described above.

Share Repurchase Program

On June 12, 2024, we entered into a $280 million accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "ASR Agreement") with Citibank, N.A. (the "Bank"). On June 14, 2024, we paid the Bank $280 million in cash and received approximately 3.1 million shares of our Class A common stock, which were retired.

Final settlement of the ASR Agreement occurred on September 16, 2024. At final settlement, the Bank delivered 0.7 million additional shares of the Company's Class A common stock, which were retired. The final number of shares repurchased was determined based on the volume-weighted average stock price of the Company's Class A common stock of $76.88 during the term of the transaction, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement.

On June 13, 2024, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $500 million to replace the 2022 share repurchase program, which became effective on September 16, 2024 upon the completion of the ASR Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, there is $500 million remaining under the 2024 share repurchase program.

2024 Outlook

For the year ending December 31, 2024, the Company is reiterating the following expectations:

  • New equipment placements of approximately 120 to 130 in franchisee-owned locations
  • System-wide new club openings of approximately 140 to 150 locations

The following are the Company's growth expectations over its 2023 results:

  • System-wide same club sales in the 4% to 5% percentage range (previously 3% to 5%)
  • Revenue to increase in the 8% to 9% range (previously 4% to 6%)
  • Adjusted EBITDA to increase in the 8% to 9% range (previously 7% to 9%)
  • Adjusted net income to increase in the 8% to 9% range (previously 4% to 6%)
  • Adjusted net income per share, diluted to increase in the 11% to 12% range (previously 7% to 9%), based on adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 86.5 million, inclusive of the shares repurchased as part of the ASR Agreement.

The Company continues to expect 2024 net interest expense to be approximately $75.0 million (excluding the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with our debt refinancing transaction). It also expects capital expenditures to increase approximately 20% (previously 25%) driven by additional clubs in our corporate-owned portfolio and depreciation and amortization to increase approximately 10% (previously 11% to 12%).

Presentation of Financial Measures

Planet Fitness, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in March 2015 for the purpose of facilitating the initial public offering (the "IPO") and related recapitalization transactions that occurred in August 2015, and in order to carry on the business of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC ("Pla-Fit Holdings") and its subsidiaries. As the sole managing member of Pla-Fit Holdings, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Pla-Fit Holdings, and through Pla-Fit Holdings, conducts its business. As a result, the Company consolidates Pla-Fit Holdings' financial results and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of Pla-Fit Holdings not owned by the Company.

The financial information presented in this press release includes non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to provide measures that we believe are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures of the Company's performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP financial measures such as net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in the future, the Company may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar amounts or other unusual or nonrecurring items. See the tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Total Segment EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in our full-year outlook will differ from net income and net income per share, diluted, determined in accordance with GAAP in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations at the end of this press release. We do not provide guidance for net income or net income per share, diluted, determined in accordance with GAAP or a reconciliation of guidance for Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in our net income and net income per share, diluted, for the year ending December 31, 2024. These items are uncertain, depend on many factors and could have a material impact on our net income and net income per share, diluted, for the year ending December 31, 2024, and therefore cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.

Same club sales refers to year-over-year sales comparisons for the same club sales base of both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs, which is calculated for a given period by including only sales from clubs that had sales in the comparable months of both years. We define the same club sales base to include those clubs that have been open and for which monthly membership dues have been billed for longer than 12 months. We measure same club sales based solely upon monthly dues billed to members of our corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs.

Investor Conference Call

The Company will hold a conference call at 8:00AM (ET) on November 7, 2024 to discuss the news announced in this press release. A live webcast of the conference call will be accessible at www.planetfitness.com via the "Investor Relations" link. The webcast will be archived on the website for one year.

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Total Segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted (collectively, the "non-GAAP financial measures"). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release are supplemental measures of the Company's performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP financial measures such as net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in the future, the Company may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

EBITDA, Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We refer to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as we use these measures to evaluate our operating performance and we believe these measures are useful to investors in evaluating our performance. We have also disclosed Segment EBITDA as an important financial metric utilized by the Company to evaluate performance and allocate resources to segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. We define EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Segment EBITDA sums to Total Segment EBITDA which is equal to the Non-GAAP financial metric EBITDA. We believe that EBITDA, which eliminates the impact of certain expenses that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance, provides useful information to investors to assess the performance of our segments as well as the business as a whole. Our Board of Directors also uses EBITDA as a key metric to assess the performance of management. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company's core operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance in addition to EBITDA 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.

(1) Represents the impact of revenue-related purchase accounting adjustments associated with the acquisition of Pla-Fit Holdings on November 8, 2012 by TSG (the "2012 Acquisition"). At the time of the 2012 Acquisition, the Company maintained a deferred revenue account, which consisted of deferred area development agreement fees, deferred franchise fees, and deferred enrollment fees that the Company billed and collected up front but recognizes for GAAP purposes at a later date. In connection with the 2012 Acquisition, it was determined that the carrying amount of deferred revenue was greater than the fair value assessed in accordance with ASC 805-Business Combinations, which resulted in a write-down of the carrying value of the deferred revenue balance upon application of acquisition push-down accounting under ASC 805. These amounts represent the additional revenue that would have been recognized if the write-down to deferred revenue had not occurred in connection with the application of acquisition pushdown accounting.

(2) Represents the impact of rent related purchase accounting adjustments. In accordance with guidance in ASC 805-Business Combinations, in connection with the 2012 Acquisition, the Company's deferred rent liability was required to be written off as of the acquisition date and rent was recorded on a straight-line basis from the acquisition date through the end of the lease term. This resulted in higher overall rent expense each period than would have otherwise been recorded had the deferred rent liability not been written off as a result of the acquisition push down accounting applied in accordance with ASC 805. The rent related purchase accounting adjustments are adjustments to rent expense recorded in club operations on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, which reflect the difference between the higher rent expense recorded in accordance with GAAP since the acquisition and the rent expense that would have been recorded had the 2012 Acquisition not occurred, as well as the amortization of favorable and unfavorable lease intangible assets.

(3) Represents the impact of a non-cash loss recorded in accordance with ASC 805 - Business Combinations related to our acquisition of franchisee-owned clubs. The loss recorded under U.S. GAAP represents the difference between the fair value and the contractual terms of the reacquired franchise rights and is included in other (gains) losses, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(4) Represents transaction fees and acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with our acquisition of franchisee-owned clubs.

(5) Represents severance related expenses recorded in connection with a reduction in force during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the elimination of the President and Chief Operating Officer position during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

(6) Represents certain expenses recorded in connection with the departure of the former Chief Executive Officer, including costs associated with the search for and stock based compensation associated with certain equity awards granted to the Company's new Chief Executive Officer and retention payments for certain key employees through the Chief Executive Officer transition.

(7) Represents costs associated with legal matters in which the Company was a defendant. In 2023, this represents an increase in the legal reserve related to preliminary terms of a settlement agreement (the "Preliminary Settlement Agreement"). The legal reserve liability was subsequently paid in 2023.

(8) Represents a loss (gain) on the adjustment of the allowance for credit losses on the Company's held-to-maturity investment.

(9) Represents dividend income recognized on the Company's held-to-maturity investment.

(10) Represents a loss (gain) related to the adjustment of our tax benefit arrangements primarily due to changes in our deferred state tax rate.

(11) Represents the Company's pro-rata portion of the basis difference related to intangible asset amortization expense in its equity method investees, which is included within losses from equity-method investments, net of tax on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(12) Represents certain other gains and charges that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance.

(1) "Corporate and other" primarily includes corporate overhead costs, such as payroll and related benefit costs and professional services that are not directly attributable to any individual segment.

(2) Total Segment EBITDA is equal to EBITDA, which is a metric that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. Refer to "-Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a definition of EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share

Our presentation of Adjusted net income assumes that all net income is attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc., which assumes the full exchange of all outstanding Holdings Units for shares of Class A common stock of Planet Fitness, Inc., adjusted for certain non-cash and other items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations. Adjusted net income per share, diluted, is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income by the total weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding plus any dilutive options and restricted stock units as calculated in accordance with GAAP and assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Holdings Units and corresponding Class B common stock as of the beginning of each period presented. Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, supplement GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period.
