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 (outside of the ordinary course of business), financial transaction fees and related expenses, tax
receivable agreement remeasurement, impairment of goodwill and other assets, loss on brand divestitures and wind down, executive transition costs, non-recurring rebranding expenses, and restructuring and
related charges, was $31.0 million for the quarter, up 17% from $26.5 million in the prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $37.8 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $353.8 million
in total long-term debt. Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
2024
Outlook
Based on current business conditions, and our expectations as of the date of this release, we are reiterating 2024 guidance for system-wide
sales, total revenue and adjusted EBITDA, and we are lowering guidance for global new studio openings as follows:
|
|
|
Gross new studio openings in the range of 490 to 510, or a decrease of 10% at the midpoint compared to full year
2023 gross new openings; this compares to previous guidance of 500 to 520; |
|
|
|
North America system-wide sales in the range of $1.705 billion to $1.715 billion, or an increase of 22%
at the midpoint compared to full year 2023; unchanged from previous guidance; |
|
|
|
Revenue in the range of $310.0 million to $320.0 million, or a decrease of 1% at the midpoint compared
to full year 2023; unchanged from previous guidance; |
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $120.0 million to $124.0 million, or an increase of 16% at the midpoint
compared to full year 2023; unchanged from previous guidance. |
Additional key assumptions for full year 2024 include:
|
|
|
Tax rate in the mid-to-high
single digits; |
|
|
|
Share count of 31.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock for the GAAP EPS and Adjusted EPS
calculations. A full explanation of the Companys 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 Companys 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, 2024 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.
