Patrick Walsh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TSI, commented:
“2016 was an extraordinary year for our Company. I want to thank the
7,500 plus TSI team members that delivered exceptional results this past
year. During the fourth quarter, Adjusted EBITDA increased 23.7% from
the prior year to $12.3 million. The Company’s profitability continued
to improve throughout the year with the fourth quarter’s Adjusted EBITDA
margin increasing to 12.8%. The Company’s improvement in profitability
is a material achievement given the margin pressure from declining
revenues. The annual Chairman’s letter will be released on February 27,
2017 and posted on the Company’s website and will provide further
commentary on the business.”

Total revenue for Q4 2016 was $96.1 million compared to $100.8
million for Q4 2015. Revenue decreased approximately $3.2 million at
closed club locations and approximately $2.3 million at our clubs
operating longer than 24 months. These decreases were partially offset
by an $836,000 increase in revenue from clubs opened in the last 24
months.

        Q4 2016 vs. Q4 2015
(in millions)
Membership revenue $74.7 vs. $76.9 (down 2.8%)
Personal training revenue $15.4 vs. $17.7 (down 12.7%)

Total operating expenses for Q4 2016 was $94.7 million compared
to $24.6 million for Q4 2015. Q4 2015 included a gain on the previously
completed sale of the East 86th Street property of $77.1 million ($73.6
million was non-cash) and a $3.0 million net gain related to the
termination of a lease for a planned club opening that was not yet
effective. Excluding these charges, operating expenses decreased $10.1
million primarily reflecting the results of our cost-savings initiatives
and club closures; in particular, overhead and club level savings as
well as General and administrative expenses.

        Q4 2016 vs. Q4 2015
(in millions)
Payroll and related $33.8 vs. $40.0 (down 15.5%)
Club operating $44.7 vs. $45.3 (down 1.3%)
General and administrative $5.5 vs. $7.5 (down 27.2%)

Total cash and total debt as of December 31, 2016 was $45.6
million and $202.0 million, respectively, and total cash and total debt
as of December 31, 2015 was $76.2 million and $275.4 million,
respectively. The decrease in both total cash and total debt was
primarily due to the purchases of long-term debt. In Q2 2016, TSI
Holdings purchased a total of $71.1 million principal amount of debt
outstanding under the 2013 Senior Credit Facility for $29.8 million, or
an average of 42% of face value. The purchased debt was transferred to
Town Sports International, LLC and canceled upon settlement.

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. In 2015, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes gain on sale of
building, gain on lease termination, legal and other costs in connection
with changes to the Board of Directors, non-cash rental income from a
former tenant and rent related to building financing arrangement. 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.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA over total
revenue.
