Second Quarter 2024 Information

• Revenue increased 18.9% to $667.8 million due to continued strong growth in membership dues and in-center revenue, driven by an increase in average dues, membership growth in our new and ramping centers, and higher member utilization of our in-center offerings.
• Center memberships increased by 42,398, or 5.4%, when compared to June 30, 2023, and increased sequentially from March 31, 2024, by 30,626, which was due in part to typical seasonality.
• Total subscriptions, which include center memberships and our digital on-hold memberships, increased 5.5% to 878,767 as compared to June 30, 2023.
• Center operations expenses increased 17.5% to $355.5 million primarily due to increased operating costs related to our new and ramping centers as well as growth in memberships and in-center business revenue.
• General, administrative and marketing expenses increased 0.8% to $53.2 million primarily due to increases in cash incentive compensation expenses, information technology costs, and center support overhead to enhance and broaden our member services and experiences, and were partially offset by lower share-based compensation expense.
• Net income increased $35.8 million to $52.8 million primarily due to improved business performance and to a lesser extent tax-effected one-time net benefits of $6.0 million from net gains on sale-leaseback transactions and $3.4 million from a gain on the sale of land in the current year period, as compared to a tax-effected one-time loss of $6.2 million on a sale-leaseback transaction in the prior year period.
• Adjusted net income increased $14.4 million to $52.4 million.
• Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA improved significantly as we experienced greater flow through of our increased revenue and benefited from the structural improvements to our business that have improved our margins.

• General, administrative and marketing expenses increased 7.1% to $102.1 million primarily due to increases in our cash-based incentive compensation and information technology costs, the timing of marketing expenses primarily related to our new club openings, and center support overhead to enhance and broaden our member services and experiences, and were partially offset by lower share-based compensation expense.
• Net income increased $33.2 million to $77.7 million primarily due to improved business performance and to a lesser extent tax-effected one-time net benefits of $5.8 million from net gains on sale-leaseback transactions and $3.3 million from a gain on the sale of land in the current year period. Net income in the prior year period included a tax-effected one-time gain of $3.8 million on the sale of two triathlon events and a tax-effected one-time net loss of $0.6 million on sale-leaseback transactions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
This press release includes certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), including Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and net debt and ratios and calculations with respect thereto. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, net income, net income per common share, net cash provided by operating activities or total debt (defined as long-term debt, net of current portion, plus current maturities of debt) as a measure of financial performance or liquidity or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated.

Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations, less the tax effect of these adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of construction reimbursements, plus net proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions and land sales. Net debt is defined as long-term debt, net of current portion, plus current maturities of debt, excluding fair value adjustments, unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs, minus cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is as of the last day of the respective quarter or year. Our net debt leverage ratio is calculated as our net debt divided by our trailing twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes that these measures assist investors and analysts in comparing the Company's operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance, and management believes that free cash flow assists investors and analysts in evaluating our liquidity and cash flows, including our ability to make principal payments on our indebtedness and to fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Investors are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating the non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that, in the future, the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in the Company's presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures. There can be no assurance that the Company will not modify the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures in future periods, and any such modification may be material. In addition, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in the Company's industry or across different industries.

The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

The Company includes a center, for comparable center revenue purposes, beginning on the first day of the 13^th full calendar month of the center's operation, in order to assess the center's growth rate after one year of operation.

(1)	We define Average Center revenue per center membership as Center revenue less Digital on-hold revenue, divided by the average number of Center memberships for the period, where the average number of Center memberships for the period is an average derived from dividing the sum of the total Center memberships outstanding at the beginning of the period and at the end of each month during the period by one plus the number of months in each period.
(2)	We measure the results of our centers based on how long each center has been open as of the most recent measurement period. We include a center, for comparable center revenue purposes, beginning on the first day of the 13th full calendar month of the center's operation, in order to assess the center's growth rate after one year of operation.
(3)	Net new center openings is calculated as the number of centers that opened for the first time to members during the period, less any centers that closed during the period. Total centers (end of period) is the number of centers operational as of the last day of the period. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we opened three centers.
(4)	Total center square footage (end of period) reflects the aggregate square footage, excluding the areas used for tennis courts, outdoor swimming pools, outdoor play areas and stand-alone Work, Sport and Swim locations. We use this metric for evaluating the efficiencies of a center as of the end of the period. These figures are approximations.
(5)	Net income margin is calculated as net income divided by total revenue.
(6)	We present Adjusted net income as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted net income as net income excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations, less the tax effect of these adjustments.
	Adjusted net income margin is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by total revenue.
	The following table provides a reconciliation of net income and income per common share, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, to Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per common share:

		(a)	Share-based compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was associated with stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, our employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") that launched on December 1, 2022, and liability-classified awards related to our 2024 short-term incentive plan. Share-based compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was associated with stock options, restricted stock units, our ESPP and liability-classified awards related to our 2023 short-term incentive plan.
		(b)	We adjust for the impact of gains and losses on the sale-leaseback of our properties as they do not reflect costs associated with our ongoing operations.
		(c)	Includes benefits and costs associated with transactions that are unusual and non-recurring in nature.
		(d)	Represents the estimated tax effect of the total adjustments made to arrive at Adjusted net income using the effective income tax rates for the respective periods.

(7)	We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations.
	Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.
	The following table provides a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

	(a) – (c)         See the corresponding footnotes to the table in footnote 6 immediately above.
(8)	Represents non-capital expenditures associated with opening new centers that are incurred prior to the commencement of a new center opening. The number of centers under construction or development, the types of centers and our costs associated with any particular center opening can vary significantly from period to period.
(9)	Reflects the non-cash portion of our annual GAAP operating lease expense that is greater or less than the cash operating lease payments. Non-cash rent expense for our open properties represents non-cash expense associated with properties that were operating at the end of each period presented. Non-cash rent expense for our properties under development represents non-cash expense associated with properties that are still under development at the end of each period presented.
(10)	Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of construction reimbursements, plus net proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions and land sales.
	The following table provides a reconciliation from net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow:
