Ended first quarter with total membership of approximately 21.5 million

Company updates 2026 outlook

HAMPTON, N.H., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Planet Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: PLNT) reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights

Total revenue increased from the prior year period by 21.9% to $337.2 million.
System-wide same club sales increased 3.5%.
System-wide sales increased $88.0 million to $1.4 billion, from $1.3 billion in the prior year period.
Net income attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. was $51.6 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to $41.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Net income increased $9.7 million to $51.8 million, compared to $42.1 million in the prior year period.
Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾increased $9.4 million to $59.4 million, or $0.74 per diluted share⁽¹⁾, compared to $50.0 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾increased $22.9 million to $139.9 million from $117.0 million in the prior year period.
15 new Planet Fitness clubs were opened system-wide during the period, all of which were franchisee-owned, bringing system-wide total clubs to 2,909 as of March 31, 2026.
Repurchased and retired 613,725 shares of Class A common stock using $50.0 million of cash on hand.
Cash and marketable securities of $652.0 million, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $375.3 million, restricted cash of $81.2 million and marketable securities of $195.5 million as of March 31, 2026.

"In the first quarter, our top and bottom line results exceeded expectations. However, 2026 is off to a slower than expected start from a net member growth perspective as we faced internal and external headwinds during our peak sign-up period. As a result, we are sharpening our marketing to prioritize capturing demand and driving net member growth. Additionally, we are pausing the planned national Black Card price increase pending a broader pricing review," said Colleen Keating, Chief Executive Officer. "While we are resetting near-term expectations, we expect that these actions will help set the stage for enhanced top and bottom-line results in 2027. The fitness industry continues to benefit from a number of secular tailwinds given the growing awareness of the vital role movement plays in health and well-being. Long-term, our thesis remains intact and as the leader in the high-value, low-price segment, Planet Fitness is well positioned to capitalize on our industry leadership."

Operating Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

For the first quarter of 2026, total revenue increased $60.6 million or 21.9% to $337.2 million from $276.7 million in the prior year period. By segment:

Franchise segment revenue increased $19.3 million or 16.7% to $134.5 million from $115.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to a $10.3 million increase in National Advertising Fund ("NAF") revenue from a 1% rate increase to NAF contributions from 2% to 3% for fiscal year 2026. There was also $6.0 million of higher royalty revenue, of which $2.8 million was attributable to a franchise same club sales increase of 3.5%, $2.2 million was attributable to new clubs opened since January 1, 2025 before they move into the same club sales base and $1.0 million was due to higher royalties on annual fees, and a $1.4 million increase in franchise and other fees.
Corporate-owned clubs segment revenue increased $7.0 million or 5.2% to $140.6 million from $133.7 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to $6.9 million from the corporate-owned clubs in the same club sales base, of which of $4.3 million was attributable to a same clubs sales increase of 3.5% and $2.6 million was attributable to higher other fees, and $4.9 million was from new clubs opened since January 1, 2025 before they move into the same club sales base. This increase was partially offset by $4.8 million of lower revenue attributable to the 8 clubs located in California that the Company sold to a franchisee in August 2025.
Equipment segment revenue increased $34.3 million or 123.4% to $62.1 million from $27.8 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to $32.0 million of higher revenue from equipment sales to existing franchisee-owned clubs and $2.3 million of higher revenue from equipment sales to new franchisee-owned clubs. In the first quarter of 2026, we had equipment sales to 14 new franchisee-owned clubs compared to 10 in the prior year period.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents our Adjusted EBITDA broken out by the Company's reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company's core operations, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" accompanying this press release.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA was as follows:

Franchise Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.9 million or 11.6% to $94.7 million from $84.9 million in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to higher franchise segment revenue as described above, and $2.2 million of higher other gain, net, partially offset by $10.3 million of higher NAF expense and $1.2 million of higher selling, general and administrative expense.
Corporate-owned clubs Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.6 million or 1.4% to $46.5 million from $45.8 million in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to $4.3 million from clubs included in the same club sales base, partially offset by $2.1 million of higher expense from the 1% rate increase in NAF contributions and by $1.5 million of lower adjusted EBITDA attributable to the 8 clubs located in California that the Company sold to a franchisee in August 2025, as described above.
Equipment Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.0 million or 161.6% to $19.5 million from $7.4 million in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by higher equipment sales to existing and new franchisee-owned clubs, as described above.

2026 Outlook

For the year ending December 31, 2026, the Company is reiterating the following expectations:

New equipment placements of approximately 150 to 160 in franchisee-owned locations.
System-wide new club openings of approximately 180 to 190 locations.

Based on lower net joins than planned in the first quarter, which has an outsized impact on full year results due to the seasonal nature of the Company's subscription revenue model and the decision to pause the Black Card price increase, the Company is updating certain of its 2026 growth expectations over 2025 results as follows:

System-wide same club sales growth of approximately 1% (previously 4% to 5%).
Revenue to increase approximately 7% (previously approximately 9%).
Adjusted EBITDA to increase approximately 6% (previously approximately 10%).
Adjusted net income to decrease approximately 2% (previously an increase of 4% to 5%).
Adjusted net income per share, diluted to increase approximately 4% (previously 9% to 10%), based on adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 79.0 million (previously 80.0 million), inclusive of shares expected to be repurchased.

The Company now expects 2026 net interest expense to be approximately $111.0 million (previously $114.0 million). It also continues to expect capital expenditures to increase approximately 10% to 15% driven by additional clubs in our corporate-owned portfolio and depreciation and amortization to increase approximately 10% compared to 2025.

Presentation of Financial Measures

Planet Fitness, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in March 2015 for the purpose of facilitating the initial public offering (the "IPO") and related recapitalization transactions that occurred in August 2015, and in order to carry on the business of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC ("Pla-Fit Holdings") and its subsidiaries. As the sole managing member of Pla-Fit Holdings, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Pla-Fit Holdings, and through Pla-Fit Holdings, conducts its business. As a result, the Company consolidates Pla-Fit Holdings' financial results and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of Pla-Fit Holdings not owned by the Company.

The financial information presented in this press release includes non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to provide measures that we believe are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures of the Company's performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP financial measures such as net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in the future, the Company may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar amounts or other unusual or nonrecurring items. See the tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in our full-year outlook will differ from net income and net income per share, diluted, determined in accordance with GAAP in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations at the end of this press release. We do not provide guidance for net income or net income per share, diluted, determined in accordance with GAAP or a reconciliation of guidance for Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in our net income and net income per share, diluted, for the year ending December 31, 2026. These items are uncertain, depend on many factors and could have a material impact on our net income and net income per share, diluted, for the year ending December 31, 2026, and therefore cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.

Same club sales refers to year-over-year sales comparisons for the same club sales base of both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs, which is calculated for a given period by including only sales from clubs that had sales in the comparable months of both years. We define the same club sales base to include those clubs that have been open and for which monthly membership dues have been billed for longer than 12 months. We measure same club sales based solely upon monthly dues billed to members of our corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs.

Investor Conference Call

The Company will hold a conference call at 8:00AM (ET) on May 7, 2026 to discuss the news announced in this press release. A live webcast of the conference call will be accessible at www.planetfitness.com via the "Investor Relations" link. The webcast will be archived on the website for one year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted (collectively, the "non-GAAP financial measures"). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release are supplemental measures of the Company's performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP financial measures such as net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in the future, the Company may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA

We refer to Adjusted EBITDA as we use this measure to evaluate our operating performance and we believe this measure is useful to investors in evaluating our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company's core operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of other items that we believe reduce the comparability of our underlying core business performance from period to period and is therefore useful to our investors. Our Board of Directors uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric to assess the performance of management. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker also uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is Adjusted EBITDA specific to each of our three reportable segments, to assess the financial performance of and allocate resources to our segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Corporate overhead costs not directly attributable to any individual segment are not allocated to the three segments and are included in Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA within Adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below.

⁽²⁾ Represents certain expenses recorded in connection with executive leadership transitions. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, amounts represent costs associated with the departure of the Chief Financial Officer and the search for a new Chief Financial Officer. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, amounts represent costs for stock-based compensation associated with certain equity awards granted to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and retention payments for certain key employees through the Chief Executive Officer transition.

⁽³⁾ Represents insurance recoveries, net of costs incurred.

⁽⁴⁾ Represents a gain related to the adjustment of our tax benefit arrangements primarily due to changes in our deferred state tax rate.

⁽⁵⁾ Represents the Company's pro-rata portion of the basis difference related to intangible asset amortization expense in its equity method investees, which is included within losses from equity-method investments, net of tax on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

⁽⁶⁾ Represents certain other gains and charges that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance.

A reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below.

Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	(20,805)	(21,151)
Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾	$ 139,868	$ 117,005

⁽¹⁾ Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA includes adjusted corporate overhead costs, such as payroll and related benefit costs and professional services that are not directly attributable to any individual segment and thus are unallocated.

⁽²⁾ Segment Adjusted EBITDA plus the Adjusted EBITDA of corporate and other is equal to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. Refer to "—Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share

Our presentation of Adjusted net income assumes that all net income is attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc., which assumes the full exchange of all outstanding Holdings Units for shares of Class A common stock of Planet Fitness, Inc., adjusted for certain non-cash and other items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations. Adjusted net income per share, diluted, is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income by the total weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding plus any dilutive options and restricted stock units as calculated in accordance with GAAP and assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Holdings Units and corresponding Class B common stock as of the beginning of each period presented. Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, supplement GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period.

A reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted net income, and the computation of Adjusted net income per share, diluted, are set forth below.
