Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (“TSI” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: CLUB) today reported financial results for its first quarter
ended March 31, 2017.

First Quarter Results

  • Total member count increased 7,000 to 551,000 during Q1
    2017 compared to an increase of 12,000 in Q1 2016.
  • Membership monthly attrition averaged 3.9% per month in Q1 2017
    compared to 3.5% per month in Q1 2016.
  • Q1 2017 net loss was $2.9 million, or $0.11 loss per share, compared
    with Q1 2016 net loss of $6.9 million, or $0.28 loss per share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $10.7 million in Q1 2017, an increase of 35.3%
    compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $7.9 million in Q1 2016 (refer to the
    reconciliation at the end of this earnings release).

Patrick Walsh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TSI, commented:
“We continue to experience Adjusted EBITDA growth compared to the prior
year and our comparable club revenue turned positive for the first time
since 2012 with a 0.7% increase. Additionally, we are excited to open
the Company’s new flagship location at Astor Place in New York City in
May and continue to look for other acquisition opportunities.”

Total revenue for Q1 2017 decreased to $99.1 million compared to
$101.3 million for Q1 2016, primarily related to the impact of club
closures as well as declines in initiation and processing fees, personal
training revenue and other ancillary club revenue. The revenue decrease
was partially offset by an increase in membership dues.

        Q1 2017 vs. Q1 2016  
  (in millions)
Membership dues $75.5 vs. $74.5 (up 1.3%)
Initiation and processing fees $1.0 vs. $2.0 (down 51.7%)
Personal training revenue $16.5 vs. $17.9 (down 7.7%)
Other ancillary club revenue $4.7 vs. $5.4 (down 12.6%)
 

Total operating expenses for Q1 2017 was $99.2 million compared
to $105.1 million for Q1 2016, primarily reflecting the impact of club
closures and results of our cost-savings initiatives, which included
payroll savings, decreased marketing spend, savings from lower utilities
usage, as well as savings in General and administrative expenses.

        Q1 2017 vs. Q1 2016  
  (in millions)
Payroll and related $37.4 vs. $39.4 (down 5.1%)
Club operating $45.2 vs. $47.6 (down 5.2%)
General and administrative $6.3 vs. $6.9 (down 7.8%)
 

Total cash and total debt as of March 31, 2017 was $59.9 million
and $201.5 million, respectively, and total cash and total debt as of
December 31, 2016 was $45.6 million and $202.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures – EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus interest expense (net of
interest income), provision (benefit) for corporate income taxes, and
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is the Company’s EBITDA
excluding certain items, such as any fixed asset or goodwill
impairments, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net occupancy gain
(loss) related to closing clubs and other cost-savings initiatives and
separation expense related to headcount reductions and former Executive
Officers. EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or financial performance
presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, as we define it, may not be
identical to similarly titled measures used by some other companies.

EBITDA has material limitations as an analytical tool and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss),
operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or other
cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from
EBITDA, but included in the calculation of reported net income and
operating income, are significant and must be considered in performing a
comprehensive assessment of our performance.

Investors or prospective investors in the Company regularly request
EBITDA as a supplemental analytical measure to, and in conjunction with,
our GAAP financial data. We understand that these investors use EBITDA,
among other things, to assess our ability to service our existing debt
and to incur debt in the future, to evaluate our executive compensation
programs, to assess our ability to fund our capital expenditure program,
and to gain insight into the manner in which the Company’s management
and board of directors analyze our performance. We believe that
investors find the inclusion of EBITDA in our press releases to be
useful and helpful to them.

Our management and board of directors also use EBITDA as a supplemental
measure to our GAAP financial data for purposes broadly similar to those
used by investors.

The purposes to which EBITDA may be used by investors, and is used by
our management and board of directors, include the following:

  • The Company is required to comply with financial covenants and
    borrowing limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA as
    defined in our 2013 Senior Credit Facility, as amended.
  • Our discussions with prospective lenders and investors in recent
    years, including in relation to our 2013 Senior Credit Facility, have
    confirmed the importance of EBITDA in their decision-making processes
    relating to the making of loans to us or investing in our debt
    securities.
  • The Company uses EBITDA as a key factor in determining annual
    incentive bonuses for executive officers (as discussed in our proxy
    statement).
  • The Company considers EBITDA to be a useful supplemental measure to
    GAAP financial data because it provides a performance measure to
    assess results without regard to capital structure and taxes.
  • Quarterly, equity analysts who follow our company often report on our
    EBITDA with respect to valuation commentary.

Adjusted EBITDA has similar uses and limitations as EBITDA. We have
excluded additional items in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because
management believes that this metric is useful in making period to
period comparisons of our performance. We do not, and investors should
not, place undue reliance on EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of
our performance.
