Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Life Time Group Holdings reported strong second-quarter 2026 results, with total revenue of $866.0 million, up 13.7% from a year earlier, driven by higher membership dues, improved membership mix and increased in-center utilization, especially Dynamic Personal Training. Net income rose to $101.4 million, a 40.6% increase, and diluted EPS reached $0.45. Adjusted net income was $109.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA $246.5 million, up 30.6% and 16.8%, respectively. Comparable center revenue grew 9.1%, center memberships reached 860,041, and average center revenue per membership increased 11.8% to $993.

For the first six months of 2026, revenue was $1.65 billion and net income $189.5 million. Net cash from operating activities grew to $408.4 million, while capital expenditures rose to $523.2 million, reflecting aggressive club growth and modernization. Free cash flow was $85.3 million. As of June 30, total liquidity was $855.7 million, including $223.6 million of cash, and the net debt leverage ratio improved to 1.4x from 1.8x a year earlier. Fitch and S&P both upgraded the issuer rating to BB. The company repurchased about 2.2 million shares for $62.7 million and now guides 2026 revenue to $3.35–$3.38 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to $940–$955 million, with comparable center revenue growth of 7.9–8.3% and plans to open 14 new clubs.

Positive

  • Q2 2026 net income surged 40.6% to $101.4 million, with Adjusted EBITDA up 16.8% to $246.5 million and comparable center revenue up 9.1%, indicating both strong top-line growth and improved profitability.
  • 2026 outlook raised: revenue guidance increased to $3.35–$3.38 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to $940–$955 million, with comparable center revenue growth now expected at 7.9–8.3% and 14 planned new club openings.
  • Balance sheet strengthened: net debt leverage improved to 1.4x from 1.8x year over year, total liquidity reached $855.7 million, and both Fitch and S&P upgraded the issuer credit rating to BB.

Negative

  • Full-year 2026 GAAP net income is guided below 2025, at $358–$363 million versus $373.7 million in 2025 (a 3.5% decline at the midpoint), even as adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA are projected to grow strongly.

Filing Explained

By June 30, $200,191 thousand of sale-leaseback proceeds was reported; another approximately $200 million is expected in second-half 2026.

This Form 8-K reports a specified material event: Life Time disclosed results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and furnished its earnings release as an exhibit. The release updates the company’s 2026 targets upward and describes additional sale-leaseback transactions as expected rather than completed.

The company explicitly says it raised its 2026 outlook across revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and net income guidance.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the company reported $200,191 thousand of sale-leaseback proceeds and expects approximately $200 million more in the second half, for an expected $400 million total during 2026; the additional amount is a plan, not reported proceeds.

The 2026 capital-spending guidance calls for growth capital expenditures, modernization and technology spending, and maintenance spending; these are planned amounts rather than expenditures already incurred.

As a milestone to monitor, the company said six new clubs had opened by June 30, 2026, one more opened in July, and the remaining seven of its 14-club 2026 plan were expected in the fourth quarter.

Net Debt Leverage Ratio 1.4x As of June 30, 2026; improved from 1.8x as of June 30, 2025
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $246.5 million increased 16.8% over the prior year quarter"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
comparable center revenue financial
"Comparable center revenue (2) | 9.1% | | 11.2%"
sale-leaseback transactions financial
"Complete approximately $200 million in additional sale-leaseback transactions"
A sale-leaseback transaction is when an owner sells a property or asset and immediately rents it back from the buyer, like selling your house and signing a lease to keep living in it. For investors, it matters because the seller converts a fixed asset into cash while taking on a new rent expense, which can boost short-term liquidity but change long-term earnings, debt levels and risk profiles that affect valuation and creditworthiness.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
net debt leverage ratio financial
"Our net debt leverage ratio improved to 1.4 times as of June 30, 2026"
Net debt leverage ratio measures how many years of a company’s core earnings would be needed to pay off its debt after accounting for cash on hand, calculated by dividing net debt (total debt minus cash) by annual operating earnings. Investors use it like a household debt-to-income check: a lower number means the company is in a stronger position to handle obligations and take risks, while a higher number signals greater financial strain and vulnerability to shocks.
employee retention credits financial
"Net income in the prior year period included tax-effected net cash proceeds of $9.3 million received from employee retention credits"
Employee retention credits are government tax breaks that give employers a partial refund or reduction of payroll taxes when they keep workers on the payroll during downturns or disruptions. Think of it like a rebate on a company’s wage bill for maintaining staff; it improves short-term cash flow and can lower reported labor costs, so investors watch these credits because they can boost earnings, preserve liquidity, and affect tax expense and balance-sheet items.
Q2 2026 Total Revenue $866.0 million 13.7% increase over the prior year quarter

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 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 June 30, 2026, we opened five 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.

(a)    Share-based compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was associated with stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), and liability-classified awards related to our 2026 short-term incentive plan. Share-based compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was associated with stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, our ESPP and liability-classified awards related to our 2025 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)    Represents one-time costs related to capital transactions, including debt and equity offerings that are non-recurring in nature.
(d)    We adjust for the impact of unusual legal settlements or judgments as these costs and proceeds are non-recurring in nature and do not reflect costs or proceeds associated with our normal ongoing operations. Nearly all of the adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is the recognition of settlement proceeds from Zurich for the remaining occurrences of jurisdictions that issued closure orders affecting our club operations in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. These proceeds are offset by




legal-related expenses in pursuit of our claim against Zurich of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(e)    Represents refundable payroll tax credits for employee retention under the CARES Act.
(f)    Includes (i) a $2.9 million write-down of certain assets within a non-club joint venture resulting from its held-for-sale classification for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and (ii) other immaterial transactions or items that are unusual or non-recurring in nature of $(0.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(g)    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. We updated the Taxes amount used to arrive at Adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to include $12.6 million in income tax benefits resulting from a significant exercise of stock options by our Chief Executive Officer that were set to expire in 2025. This change did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but it did decrease our non-GAAP Adjusted net income and Adjusted income per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
(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.

(a) – (f)    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.
