Insights

Financial Analyst

Life Time delivered exceptional Q1 results with revenue up 18.3%, net income up 205.6%, and raised 2025 guidance, showing strong execution of its premium membership strategy.

Life Time's Q1 2025 results demonstrate remarkable financial performance across all key metrics. Revenue surged $706 million (18.3% year-over-year) despite more modest membership growth of 3.0%, highlighting the company's successful strategy of prioritizing higher-value memberships over raw membership count.

The 13.3% increase in average revenue per center membership to $844 validates management's approach to preserving member experience by focusing on quality over quantity. Centers are experiencing higher utilization rates, with many locations reaching optimal daily visit levels - a positive indicator for both retention and additional in-center spending.

Net income jumped 205.6% to $76.1 million, though this figure includes a $14.6 million tax benefit from stock option exercises. Even adjusting for this one-time item, profitability growth remains impressive, reflecting improved operating leverage and flow-through on revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA growth of 31.2% to $191.6 million confirms the structural margin improvements are delivering results.

The balance sheet has strengthened considerably, with net debt leverage ratio improving to 2.0x from 3.6x a year ago. Management's strategic move to lock in a fixed interest rate of 3.41% plus margin on their $997.5 million term loan protects against rate volatility and contributed to reduced interest expense guidance for 2025.

Life Time's capital allocation strategy balances growth investments with prudent financial management. The $41.4 million in free cash flow demonstrates operational efficiency, while the planned $150 million sale-leaseback transaction will further enhance financial flexibility. The recent $100 million acquisition (combining cash and stock) supports their expansion roadmap.

Management's confidence is evident in their raised 2025 outlook, with comparable center revenue growth now expected at 8.5-9.5% (up from 7-8%). The projected 85.3% increase in net income and 18.2% growth in Adjusted EBITDA signal continued strong execution through 2025.

• Total revenue of $706.0 million increased 18.3% over the prior year quarter
• Net income of $76.1 million increased 205.6% over the prior year quarter
• Diluted EPS increased to $0.34 for the quarter
• Adjusted net income of $88.1 million increased 188.9% over the prior year quarter
• Adjusted EBITDA of $191.6 million increased 31.2% over the prior year quarter
• Adjusted diluted EPS increased to $0.39 for the quarter
• Reduced net debt leverage ratio to 2.0 times
• Delivered positive net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow for the fourth consecutive quarter
• Raised 2025 outlook

First Quarter 2025 Information

• Revenue increased 18.3% to $706.0 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 24,364, or 3.0%, when compared to March 31, 2024, and increased by 14,312 from the fourth quarter 2024, to 826,374. We continue to experience higher visits per membership, resulting in many clubs with total daily visits at or near optimal levels. To preserve our members' in-center experience, we have focused on strategically growing memberships with an emphasis on revenue per membership.
• Total subscriptions, which include center memberships and our on-hold memberships, increased 3.1% to 879,751 as compared to March 31, 2024.

• General, administrative and marketing expenses increased 18.2% to $57.8 million primarily due to the timing of share-based compensation and benefit-related expenses, increases in center support overhead to enhance and broaden our member services and experiences, information technology costs, and costs attributable to the secondary offering of common stock completed in February 2025.
• Net income increased 205.6% to $76.1 million primarily due to improved business performance and a $14.6 million tax benefit as a result of an excess tax deduction associated with stock option exercises.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

This press release includes certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with 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.

(1)	We define Average Center revenue per center membership as Center revenue less 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 March 31, 2025, we opened one center.
(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 months ended March 31, 2025, was associated with stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, our employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP"), and liability-classified awards related to our 2025 short-term incentive plan. Share-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was associated with stock options, restricted stock units, our ESPP and liability-classified awards related to our 2024 short-term incentive plan.
	(b)	Represents one-time costs related to capital transactions, including debt and equity offerings that are non-recurring in nature.
	(c)	Includes (i) legal-related expenses in pursuit of our claim against Zurich of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and (ii) other immaterial transactions that are unusual or non-recurring in nature of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
	(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:

	Three Months Ended

	(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:

	Three Months Ended
