Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us, contain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “contemplate” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding:

•future financial position;

•business strategy;

•budgets, projected costs and plans;

•future industry growth;

•financing sources;

•potential return of capital initiatives;

•the impact of litigation, government inquiries and investigations;

•the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) and actions taken in response; and

•all other statements regarding our intent, plans, beliefs or expectations or those of our directors or officers.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. Important factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, risks and uncertainties associated with the following:

• Our business and results of operations have been and may in the future be materially impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and could be impacted by similar events in the future.

•Our success depends substantially on the value of our brand, which could be materially and adversely affected by the high level of competition in the health and fitness industry, our ability to anticipate and satisfy consumer preferences, shifting views of health and fitness and our ability to obtain and retain high-profile strategic partnership arrangements.

•Our and our franchisees’ stores may be unable to attract and retain members, which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•Our intellectual property rights, including trademarks, trade names, copyrights and trade dress, may be infringed, misappropriated or challenged by others.

•We and our franchisees rely heavily on information systems, including the use of email marketing and social media, and any material failure, interruption or weakness may prevent us from effectively operating our business, damage our reputation or subject us to potential fines or other penalties.

•If we fail to properly maintain the confidentiality and integrity of our data, including member credit card, debit card, bank account information and other personally identifiable information, our reputation and business could be materially and adversely affected.

•The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in cybersecurity, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of confidential information, and/or damage to our employee and business relationships and reputation, all of which could harm our brand and our business.

•If we fail to successfully implement our growth strategy, which includes new store development by existing and new franchisees, our ability to increase our revenues and operating profits could be adversely affected.

•Our planned growth and changes in the industry could place strains on our management, employees, information systems and internal controls, which may adversely impact our business.

•If we cannot retain our key employees and hire additional highly qualified employees, we may not be able to successfully manage our businesses and pursue our strategic objectives.

•Economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations could adversely affect our profitability and international growth prospects.

•Our financial results are affected by the operating and financial results of, our relationships with and actions taken by our franchisees.

•We are subject to a variety of additional risks associated with our franchisees, such as potential franchisee bankruptcies, franchisee changes in control, franchisee turnover rising costs related to construction of new stores and maintenance of existing stores, which could adversely affect the attractiveness of our franchise model, and in turn our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•We and our franchisees could be subject to claims related to health and safety risks to members that arise while at both our corporate-owned and franchise stores.

•Our business is subject to various laws and regulations including, among others, those governing indoor tanning, electronic funds transfer, ACH, credit card, debit card, digital payment options auto-renewal contracts, and consumer protection more generally, and changes in such laws and regulations, failure to comply with existing or future laws and regulations or failure to adjust to consumer sentiment regarding these matters, could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business.

•We are subject to risks associated with leasing property subject to long-term non-cancelable leases.

•If we and our franchisees are unable to identify and secure suitable sites for new franchise stores, our revenue growth rate and profits may be negatively impacted.

•Opening new stores in close proximity may negatively impact our existing stores’ revenues and profitability.

•Our franchisees may incur rising costs related to construction of new stores and maintenance of existing stores, which could adversely affect the attractiveness of our franchise model, and in turn our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•We may be unable to successfully realize the anticipated benefits of the Sunshine Acquisition (as defined herein).

•Our dependence on a limited number of suppliers for equipment and certain products and services could result in disruptions to our business and could adversely affect our revenues and gross profit; and

•the other factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

(1) Business Organization

Planet Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is a franchisor and operator of fitness centers, with more than ~~16.2~~16.5 million members and ~~2,291~~2,324 owned and franchised locations (referred to as stores) in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Panama, Mexico and Australia as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

In March 2020, the Company proactively closed all of its stores system wide in response to COVID-19 in order to promote the health and safety of its members, team members and their communities. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there were 0 store closures related to COVID-19.

The Company serves as the reporting entity for its various subsidiaries that operate 3 distinct lines of business:

•Licensing and selling franchises under the Planet Fitness trade name.

•Owning and operating fitness centers under the Planet Fitness trade name.

•Selling fitness-related equipment to franchisee-owned stores.

The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation on March 16, 2015 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the “IPO”), which was completed on August 11, 2015, and related transactions in order to carry on the business of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Pla-Fit Holdings”). As of August 5, 2015, in connection with the recapitalization transactions that occurred prior to the IPO, the Company became the sole managing member and holder of 100% of the voting power of Pla-Fit Holdings. Pla-Fit Holdings owns 100% of Planet Intermediate, LLC, which has no operations but is the 100% owner of Planet Fitness Holdings, LLC, a franchisor and operator of fitness centers through its subsidiaries. With respect to the Company, Pla-Fit Holdings and Planet Intermediate, LLC, each entity owns nothing other than the respective entity below it in the corporate structure and each entity has no other material operations.

The Company is a holding company whose principal asset is a controlling equity interest in Pla-Fit Holdings. 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 limited liability company units of Pla-Fit Holdings (“Holdings Units”) not owned by the Company. Unless otherwise specified, “the Company” refers to both Planet Fitness, Inc. and Pla-Fit Holdings throughout the remainder of these notes.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, Planet Fitness, Inc. held 100.0% of the voting interest and ~~93.3%~~93.2% of the economic interest of Pla-Fit Holdings and the holders of Holdings Units of Pla-Fit Holdings (the “Continuing LLC Owners”) held the remaining ~~6.7%~~6.8% economic interest in Pla-Fit Holdings. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 the Company reallocated amounts between non-controlling interest and additional paid in capital to appropriately reflect its economic interest in Pla-Fit Holdings.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been reflected. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021. The Company’s significant interim accounting policies include the proportional recognition of national advertising fund expenses within interim periods. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Notes to Condensed Consolidated financial statements~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

~~(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)~~

estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Significant areas where estimates and judgments are relied upon by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, valuation of equity-based compensation awards, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets acquired in a business combination, the evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets, including intangible assets, income taxes, including deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits, the liability for the Company’s tax benefit arrangements, and the value of the lease liability and related right-of-use asset recorded in accordance with ASC 842 (see Note 7).

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of certain ~~assets and~~ liabilities as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:


		March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021					June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
		Carrying value		Estimated fair value(1)		Carrying value		Estimated fair value(1)			Carrying value		Estimated fair value(1)		Carrying value		Estimated fair value(1)

Liabilities	Liabilities									Liabilities
Long-term debt(1)	Long-term debt(1)	$	2,040,750	$	1,943,457	$	1,700,000	$	1,725,021	Long-term debt(1)	$	2,035,562	$	1,822,990	$	1,700,000	$	1,725,021
Variable Funding Notes(1)	Variable Funding Notes(1)	$	75,000	$	75,000	$	75,000	$	75,000	Variable Funding Notes(1)	$	—	$	—	$	75,000	$	75,000

(1) The Company’s Variable Funding Notes are a variable rate loan and the fair value of this loan approximates book value based on the borrowing rates currently available for variable rate loans obtained from third party lending institutions. The estimated fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt is estimated primarily based on current bid prices for our long-term debt. Judgment is required to develop these estimates. As such, the fair value of our long-term debt is classified within Level 2, as defined under U.S. GAAP.

(d) Recent accounting pronouncements

The FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, in October 2021. The guidance improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by requiring contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022, for all acquisitions subsequent to the adoption date.

(3) Investments

Investments - Debt securities

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company’s debt security investments consist of redeemable preferred shares that are accounted for as held-to-maturity debt securities. The Company’s investments are measured at amortized cost within Investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews its held-to-maturity securities for expected credit losses under ASC Topic 326, Credit Impairment, on an ongoing basis.

During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company’s review of the investee’s operations and financial position indicated that an adjustment to its allowance for expected credit losses was necessary. The Company utilized a probability-of-default (“PD”) and loss-given-default (“LGD”) methodology to calculate the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company derived its estimate using historical lifetime loss information for assets with similar risk characteristics, adjusted for management’s expectations. Adjustments for management’s expectations were based on the ~~investees~~investee’s recent financial results, current financial position, and forward-looking financial forecasts. Based upon its analysis, the Company recorded a loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $265 and a gain on the adjustment of its allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of ~~$2,110~~$1,845 within other (gains) losses, net on the consolidated statements of operations.

The amortized cost, including accrued dividends, of the Company’s held-to-maturity debt security investments was ~~$26,852~~$27,315 and $26,401 and the allowance for expected credit losses was ~~$15,352~~$15,617 and $17,462, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company recognized dividend income of ~~$451~~$463 and $914, respectively, within other income on the consolidated statements of operations.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, all of the Company’s held-to-maturity investments had a contractual maturity in 2026.

A roll forward of the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses on held-to-maturity investments is as follows:


	~~Three~~Six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022
Beginning allowance for expected credit losses	$	17,462

(4) Acquisition

Sunshine Fitness Acquisition

On February 10, 2022, the Company and Pla-Fit Holdings (together with the Company, the “Buyers”), acquired 100% of the equity interests (“Sunshine Acquisition”) of Sunshine Fitness Growth Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Planet Fitness franchisee (“Sunshine Fitness”). The Company acquired 114 stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina from Sunshine Fitness. The preliminary purchase price of the acquisition was ~~approximately $825,670~~$824,587 consisting of ~~approximately $431,939~~$430,857 in cash consideration, and ~~approximately~~ $393,730 of equity consideration, including 517,348 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company and 3,637,678 membership units of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC, together with shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company, valued based on the closing trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the acquisition date. As a result of the transaction, the Company incurred a loss on unfavorable reacquired franchise rights of $1,160, which has been reflected in other (gains) losses, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The loss reduced the net purchase price to ~~$824,509.~~$823,427. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded a gain of $2,059 related to the settlement of preexisting contracts with Sunshine Fitness within other (gains) losses, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The acquired stores are included in the corporate-owned stores segment.

The preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase consideration was ~~allocated~~ as follows:


	Amount
Cash and cash equivalents	$	~~6,105~~5,917
Other current assets	~~4,930~~4,226
Property and equipment	~~152,548~~154,153
Right of use assets	~~165,847~~162,827
Other long term assets	~~1,613~~1,830

Intangible assets	~~283,000~~259,640

Goodwill	~~467,730~~485,584
Deferred income taxes, net	~~(52,942)~~(51,188)
Deferred revenue	~~(19,638)~~(16,973)
Other current liabilities	~~(15,134)~~(15,638)
Lease liabilities	~~(168,783)~~(165,736)
Other long term liabilities	~~(767)~~(1,215)
	$	~~824,509~~823,427

The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary based on management’s estimates and assumptions, which include Level 3 unobservable inputs, and are determined using generally accepted valuation techniques. ~~These estimates~~Certain adjustments were made during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to the preliminary fair values, resulting in a net increase to goodwill of $17,854, primarily related to the valuation of the reacquired franchise rights intangible asset and the corresponding deferred income taxes. Additionally, the Company reallocated amounts between non-controlling interest and additional paid in capital to appropriately reflect the change in its economic interest in Pla-Fit Holdings as a result of the share issuance in connection with the Sunshine Acquisition. Estimates may be subject to change as additional information is received and certain tax matters are finalized. The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of other assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The resulting goodwill is primarily attributable to increased expansion for market opportunities, the expansion of store membership and synergies from the integration of the stores into the broader corporate-owned store portfolio. Approximately ~~$163,000~~$168,800 of the preliminary goodwill recorded is expected to be amortizable and deductible for tax purposes, the majority of which is deductible over 15 years.

Total intangible assets subject to amortization	Total intangible assets subject to amortization	283,000		Total intangible assets subject to amortization	259,640

(1) Reacquired franchise rights represent the fair value of the reacquired franchise agreements using the income approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method.

(2) Customer relationships represent the fair value of the existing contractual customer relationships using the income approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method.

(3) Reacquired area development rights represent the fair value of the undeveloped area development agreement rights using the cost approach.

The fair value of the identified intangible assets subject to amortization will be amortized over the assets’ preliminary estimated useful lives based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be received.

The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired, income and non-income-based taxes and residual goodwill. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

On August 1, 2018, Planet Fitness Master Issuer LLC (the “Master Issuer”), a limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC, entered into a base indenture and a related supplemental indenture (collectively, the “2018 Indenture”) under which the Master Issuer may issue multiple series of notes. On the same date, the Master Issuer issued Series 2018-1 4.262% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-I (the “2018 Class A-2-I Notes”) with an initial principal amount of $575,000 and Series 2018-1 4.666% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-II (the “2018 Class A-2-II Notes” and, together with the 2018 Class A-2-I Notes, the “2018 Notes”) with an initial principal amount of $625,000. In connection with the issuance of the 2018 Notes, the Master Issuer also entered into a revolving financing facility that allows for the incurrence of up to $75,000 in revolving loans and/or letters of credit under the Master Issuer’s Series 2018-1 Variable Funding Senior Notes, Class A-1 (the “2018 Variable Funding Notes”). The Company fully drew down on the Variable Funding Notes on March 20, 2020. On December 3, 2019, the Master Issuer issued Series 2019-1 3.858% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 (the “2019 Notes”) with an initial principal amount of $550,000. The 2019 Notes were issued under the 2018 Indenture and a related supplemental indenture dated December 3, 2019 (together, the “2019 Indenture”). On February 10, 2022, the Company completed a prepayment in full of its 2018-1 Class A-2-I Notes and an issuance of Series 2022-1 3.251% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-I with an initial principal amount of $425,000 and Series 2022-1 4.008% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-II with an initial principal amount of $475,000 (the “2022 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes and 2019 Notes, the “Notes”), and also entered into a new revolving financing facility that allows for the issuance of up to $75,000 in Variable Funding Notes (“2022 Variable Funding Notes”) and certain letters of credit (the issuance of such notes, the “Series 2022-I Issuance”). The 2022 Notes were issued under the 2018 Indenture and a related supplemental indenture dated February 10, 2022 (together, with the 2019 Indenture, the “Indenture”). Together, the Notes, 2018 Variable Funding Notes and 2022 Variable Funding Notes will be referred to as the “Securitized Senior Notes”. On February 10, 2022, the Company borrowed the full amount of the $75,000 2022 Variable Funding Notes and used such proceeds to repay the outstanding principal amount (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) of the 2018 Variable Funding Notes in full.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

The Notes were issued in securitization transactions pursuant to which most of the Company’s domestic revenue-generating assets, consisting principally of franchise-related agreements, certain corporate-owned store assets, equipment supply agreements and intellectual property and license agreements for the use of intellectual property, were assigned to the Master Issuer and certain other limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company that act as guarantors of the Securitized Senior Notes and that have pledged substantially all of their assets to secure the Securitized Senior Notes.

Interest and principal payments on the Notes are payable on a quarterly basis. The requirement to make such quarterly principal payments on the Notes is subject to certain financial conditions set forth in the Indenture. The legal final maturity date of the 2018 Class A-2-II Notes is in September 2048, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the 2018 Class A-2-II Notes will be repaid in or prior to September 2025. The legal final maturity date of the 2019 Notes is in December 2049, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the 2019 Notes will be repaid in or prior to December 2029. The legal final maturity date of the 2022 Notes is in February 2052, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the 2022 Class A-2-I Notes will be repaid in or prior to December 2026 and the 2022 Class A-2-II Notes will be repaid in or prior to December 2031 (together, the “Anticipated Repayment Dates”). If the Master Issuer has not repaid or refinanced the Notes prior to the respective Anticipated Repayment Dates, additional interest will accrue pursuant to the Indenture.

As noted above, the Company borrowed the full $75,000 in 2022 Variable Funding Notes on February 10, 2022, which was repaid in full using cash on hand on May 9, 2022. ~~The~~If outstanding, the 2022 Variable Funding Notes will accrue interest at a variable interest rate based on (i) the prime rate, (ii) overnight federal funds rates, (iii) the secured overnight financing rate (or “SOFR”) for U.S. Dollars, or (iv) with respect to advances made by conduit investors, the weighted average cost of, or related to, the issuance of commercial paper allocated to fund or maintain such advances, in each case plus any applicable margin and as specified in the 2022 Variable Funding Notes. ~~As of March 31, 2022, the applicable borrowing rate is 2.45%.~~ There is a commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2022 Variable Funding Notes of 0.5% based on utilization. It is anticipated that the principal and interest on the 2022 Variable Funding Notes will be repaid in full inon or prior to December 2026, subject to 2 additional one-year extension options. Following the anticipated repayment date (and any extensions thereof), additional interest will accrue on the 2022 Variable Funding Notes equal to 5.0% per year.

In connection with the issuance of the 2018 Notes, 2019 Notes, and 2022 Notes the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $27,133, $10,577, and ~~$16,191~~$16,193 respectively. The debt issuance costs are being amortized to “Interest expense” through the Anticipated Repayment Dates of the Notes utilizing the effective interest rate method. As a result of the repayment of the 2018 Class A-2-I Notes prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1,583 within interest expense on the Consolidated statements of operations, consisting of the write-off of remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the 2018 Class A-2-I Notes.

The Securitized Senior Notes are subject to covenants and restrictions customary for transactions of this type, including (i) that the Master Issuer maintains specified reserve accounts to be used to make required payments in respect of the Securitized Senior Notes, (ii) provisions relating to optional and mandatory prepayments and the related payment of specified amounts, including specified make-whole payments in the case of the Notes under certain circumstances, (iii) certain indemnification payments in the event, among other things, the assets pledged as collateral for the Securitized Senior Notes are in stated ways defective or ineffective, (iv) a cap on non-securitized indebtedness of $50,000 (provided that the Company may incur non-securitized indebtedness in excess of such amount, subject to the leverage ratio cap described below, under certain conditions, including if the relevant lenders execute a non-disturbance agreement that acknowledges the bankruptcy-remote status of the Master Issuer and its subsidiaries and of their respective assets), (v) a leverage ratio cap incurrence test on the Company of 7.0x (calculated without regard for any indebtedness subject to the $50,000 cap) and (vi) covenants relating to recordkeeping, access to information and similar matters.

Pursuant to a parent company support agreement, the Company has agreed to cause its subsidiary to perform each of its obligations (including any indemnity obligations) and duties under the Management Agreement and under the contribution agreements entered into in connection with the securitized financing facility, in each case as and when due. To the extent that such subsidiary has not performed any such obligation or duty within the prescribed time frame after such obligation or duty was required to be performed, the Company has agreed to either (i) perform such obligation or duty or (ii) cause such obligations or duties to be performed on the Company’s behalf.

The Securitized Senior Notes are also subject to customary rapid amortization events provided for in the Indenture, including events tied to failure to maintain stated debt service coverage ratios, certain manager termination events, an event of default, ~~and the failure to repay or refinance the Notes on the applicable scheduled Anticipated Repayment Dates.

(8) Revenue recognition

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities consist primarily of deferred revenue resulting from initial and renewal franchise fees and area development agreement (“ADA”) fees paid by franchisees, as well as transfer fees, which are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying franchise agreement, and national advertising fund (“NAF”) revenue billed in advance of satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation. Also included are corporate-owned store enrollment fees, annual fees and monthly fees as well as deferred equipment rebates relating to our equipment business. We classify these contract liabilities as deferred revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table reflects the change in contract liabilities between December 31, 2021 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022:


	Contract liabilities
Balance at December 31, 2021	$	61,779
Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year	~~(14,535)~~(21,183)

Balance at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022	$	~~96,785~~96,478

The following table illustrates estimated revenues expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The Company has elected to exclude short-term contracts, sales and usage-based royalties and any other variable consideration recognized on an “as invoiced” basis.

Share repurchase program

2019 share repurchase program

On November 5, 2019, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $500,000.

The timing of purchases and amount of stock repurchased are subject to the Company’s discretion and dependent upon market and business conditions, the Company’s general working capital needs, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Our ability to repurchase shares at any particular time is also subject to the terms of the Indenture governing the Securitized Senior Notes. Purchases may be effected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing.

Preferred stock

The Company had 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized and none issued or outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(11) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock are, however, considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock because shares of Class B common stock, together with the related Holdings Units, are exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock on a 1-for-one basis.

(12) Income Taxes

The Company is the sole managing member of Pla-Fit Holdings, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. As a partnership, Pla-Fit Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Pla-Fit Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company, on a pro-rata basis.

Planet Fitness, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income of Pla-Fit Holdings. The Company’s effective tax rate was ~~38.6%~~25.4% and ~~35.1%~~25.6% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and local taxes, partially offset by income attributable to non-controlling interests. The Company’s effective tax rate was 31.7% and 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and local taxes, the recognition of a tax expense from the remeasurement of the Company's net deferred ~~taxes as a result of a change in the deferred state rate,~~tax assets, partially offset by income attributable to non-controlling interests. The Company was also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

Net deferred tax assets of ~~$492,924~~$486,808 and $539,264 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, relate primarily to the tax effects of temporary differences in the book basis as compared to the tax basis of our investment in Pla-Fit Holdings as a result of the secondary offerings, other exchanges, recapitalization transactions and the IPO.

Tax benefit arrangements

The Company’s acquisition of Holdings Units in connection with the IPO and future and certain past exchanges of Holdings Units for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (or cash at the option of the Company) are expected to produce and have produced favorable tax attributes. In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into 2 tax receivable agreements. Under the first of those agreements, the Company generally is required to pay to certain existing and previous equity owners of Pla-Fit Holdings (the “TRA Holders”) 85% of the applicable tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of certain tax attributes of their Holdings Units sold to the Company (or exchanged in a taxable sale) and that are created as a result of (i) the exchanges of their Holdings Units for shares of Class A common stock and (ii) tax benefits attributable to payments made under the tax receivable agreement (including imputed interest). Under the second tax receivable agreement, the Company generally is required to pay to TSG AIV II-A L.P and TSG PF Co-Investors A L.P. (the “Direct TSG Investors”) 85% of the amount of tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of the tax attributes of the Holdings Units held in respect of the Direct TSG Investors’ interest in the Company, which resulted from the Direct TSG Investors’ purchase of interests in Pla-Fit Holdings in 2012, and certain other tax benefits. Under both agreements, the Company generally retains the benefit of the remaining 15% of the applicable tax savings.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a liability of ~~$524,318~~$510,024 and $528,107, respectively, related to its projected obligations under the tax benefit arrangements. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company reduced its tax benefit arrangement liability and recognized a gain of ~~$3,788~~$83 and $3,871, respectively, on the remeasurement of our tax benefit arrangements due to changes in our deferred state rate. Projected future payments under the tax benefit arrangements are as follows:


		Amount			Amount
Remainder of 2022	Remainder of 2022	$	20,302	Remainder of 2022	$	6,090

Fitness, Inc.’s ownership percentage of Pla-Fit Holdings, we recorded an increase to our net deferred tax assets of ~~$1,365~~$1,416 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. As a result of these exchanges, during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we also recognized deferred tax assets in the amount of $16,170 as a result of the increase in tax basis. These exchanges were not made by TRA holders and did not result in an increase in the tax benefit arrangement liability. The offset to the entries recorded in connection with exchanges was to additional paid in capital within stockholders’ deficit.

(13) Commitments and contingencies

From time to time, and in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims, charges, and litigation, such as employment-related claims and slip and fall cases.

On ~~September 3, 2020,~~May 27, 2022, the Company and other defendants, including an officer of the Company who is a related party, received a final ~~amendment~~judgment after appeal to the joint and several judgment against them in a civil action brought by a former employee. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company has estimated its obligation related to this matter to be approximately ~~$2,225,~~$3,176, which is included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In connection with 2012 acquisition of Pla-Fit Holdings on November 8, 2012, the sellers are obligated to indemnify the Company related to this specific matter. The Company has therefore recorded an offsetting indemnification receivable of ~~$2,225~~$3,176 in other receivables on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, for which it has determined to record a full reserve as a result of potential uncertainty around collectability. Due to the joint and several nature of the judgment, the Company has determined that the amount of estimated obligation recorded constitutes a related party transaction. The Company has incurred, and may incur in the future, legal costs

on behalf of the defendants in the case, which include a related party. These costs have not been and are not expected to be material in the future.

Mexico Acquisition

On March 19, 2020, a franchisee in Mexico exercised a put option that requires the Company to acquire their franchisee-owned stores in Mexico. The transaction has not closed as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 as the parties are in dispute over the final terms of the transaction and related matters. The Company analyzed the contract and estimates that the purchase price will approximate fair value of the acquired assets.

The Company is not currently aware of any other legal proceedings or claims that the Company believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or result of operations.

(14) Segments

The Company has 3 reportable segments: (i) Franchise; (ii) Corporate-owned stores; and (iii) Equipment.

The Company’s operations are organized and managed by type of products and services and segment information is reported accordingly. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial performance and allocates resources by reportable segment. There have been no operating segments aggregated to arrive at the Company’s reportable segments.

The Franchise segment includes operations related to the Company’s franchising business in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Panama, Mexico and Australia, including revenues and expenses from the NAF. The Corporate-owned stores segment includes operations with respect to all corporate-owned stores throughout the United States and Canada. The Equipment segment primarily includes the sale of equipment to franchisee-owned stores.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, referred to as Segment EBITDA. Revenues for all operating segments include only transactions with unaffiliated customers and include no intersegment revenues.

The tables below summarize the financial information for the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021. The “Corporate and other” category, as it relates to Segment EBITDA, primarily includes corporate overhead costs, such as payroll and related benefit costs and professional services which are not directly attributable to any individual segment.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Planet Fitness, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

We are one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers in the United States by number of members and locations, with a highly recognized national brand. Our mission is to enhance people’s lives by providing a high-quality fitness experience in a welcoming, non-intimidating environment, which we call the Judgement Free Zone, where anyone—and we mean anyone—can feel they belong. Our bright, clean stores are typically 20,000 square feet, with a large selection of high-quality, purple and yellow Planet Fitness-branded cardio, circuit- and weight-training equipment and friendly staff trainers who offer unlimited free fitness instruction to all our members in small groups through our PE@PF program. We offer this differentiated fitness experience at only $10 per month for our standard membership in the United States. This exceptional value proposition is designed to appeal to a broad population, including occasional gym users and the approximately 80% of the U.S. and Canadian populations over age 14 who are not gym members, particularly those who find the traditional fitness club setting intimidating and expensive. We and our franchisees fiercely protect Planet Fitness’ community atmosphere—a place where you do not need to be fit before joining and where progress toward achieving your fitness goals (big or small) is supported and applauded by our staff and fellow members.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had more than ~~16.2~~16.5 million members and ~~2,291~~2,324 stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Panama, Mexico and Australia. Of our ~~2,291~~2,324 stores, ~~2,062~~2,091 are franchised and ~~229~~233 are ~~corporate-owned, including 114 stores acquired in the Sunshine Acquisition.~~corporate-owned. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had commitments to open more than 1,000 new stores under existing ADAs.

Our segments

We operate and manage our business in three business segments: Franchise, Corporate-owned stores and Equipment. Our Franchise segment includes operations related to our franchising business in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Panama, Mexico and Australia, including revenues and expenses from the NAF. Our Corporate-owned stores segment includes operations with respect to all corporate-owned stores throughout the United States and Canada. The Equipment segment primarily includes the sale of equipment to our United States franchisee-owned stores. We evaluate the performance of our segments and allocate resources to them based on revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, referred to as Segment EBITDA. Revenue and Segment EBITDA for all operating segments include only transactions with unaffiliated customers and do not include intersegment transactions. The tables below summarize the financial information for our segments for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. “Corporate and other,” as it relates to Segment EBITDA, primarily includes corporate overhead costs, such as payroll and related benefit costs and professional services that are not directly attributable to any individual segment.

How we assess the performance of our business

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key measures for determining how our business is performing include the number of new store openings, same store sales for both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores, system-wide sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted. See “—Non-GAAP financial measures” below for our definition of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted and why we present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, and for a reconciliation of our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted net income to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and a reconciliation of Adjusted net income per share, diluted to net income per share, diluted, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Number of new store openings

The number of new store openings reflects stores opened during a particular reporting period for both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores. Opening new stores is an important part of our growth strategy and we expect the majority of our future new stores will be franchisee-owned. Before we obtain the certificate of occupancy or report any revenue for new corporate-owned stores, we incur pre-opening costs, such as rent expense, labor expense and other operating expenses. Some of our stores open with an initial start-up period of higher than normal marketing and operating expenses, particularly as a percentage of monthly revenue. New stores may not be profitable and their revenue may not follow historical patterns.

(1)The term “debrand” refers to a franchisee-owned store whose right to use the Planet Fitness brand and marks has been terminated in accordance with the franchise agreement. We retain the right to prevent debranded stores from continuing to operate as fitness centers. The term “consolidated” refers to the combination of a franchisee’s store with another store located in close proximity with our prior approval. This often coincides with an enlargement, re-equipment and/or refurbishment of the remaining store.

Same store sales

Same store sales refers to year-over-year sales comparisons for the same store sales base of both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores. We define the same store sales base to include those stores that have been open and for which monthly membership dues have been billed for longer than 12 months. We measure same store sales based solely upon monthly dues billed to members of our corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores.

Several factors affect our same store sales in any given period, including the following:

•the number of stores that have been in operation for more than 12 months;

•the percentage mix and pricing of PF Black Card and standard memberships in any period;

•growth in total net memberships per store;

•consumer recognition of our brand and our ability to respond to changing consumer preferences;

•overall economic trends, particularly those related to consumer spending;

•our ability and our franchisees’ ability to operate stores effectively and efficiently to meet consumer expectations;

•marketing and promotional efforts;

•local competition;

•trade area dynamics; and

•opening of new stores in the vicinity of existing locations.

Consistent with common industry practice, we present same store sales as compared to the same period in the prior year and which is calculated for a given period by including only sales from stores that had sales in the comparable months of both years. Same store sales of our international stores are calculated on a constant currency basis, meaning that we translate the current year’s same store sales of our international stores at the same exchange rates used in the prior year. Since opening new stores will be a significant component of our revenue growth, same store sales is only one measure of how we evaluate our performance.

Stores acquired from or sold to franchisees are removed from the franchisee-owned or corporate-owned same store sales base, as applicable, upon the ownership change and for the 12 months following the date of the ownership change. These stores are included in the corporate-owned or franchisee-owned same store sales base, as applicable, following the 12th month after the acquisition or sale. These stores remain in the system-wide same store sales base in all periods.

As a result of the closure of all of our stores due to COVID-19 in March 2020, a majority of the stores remained temporarily closed for a portion of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Because less than 50% of our stores in the same store sales base had membership billings in all of the months included in the three and six months ending June 30, 2020, we are not able to provide same store sales comparisons for prior year periods.

The following table shows our same store sales for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Total monthly dues and annual fees from members (system-wide sales)

We define system-wide sales as total monthly dues and annual fees billed by us and our franchisees. System-wide sales is an operating measure that includes sales by franchisees that are not revenue realized by the Company in accordance with GAAP, as well as sales by our corporate-owned stores. While we do not record sales by franchisees as revenue, and such sales are not included in our consolidated financial statements, we believe that this operating measure aids in understanding how we derive royalty revenue and is important in evaluating our performance. We review the total amount of dues we collect from our members on a monthly basis, which allows us to assess changes in the performance of our corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores from period to period, any competitive pressures, local or regional membership traffic patterns and general market conditions that might impact our store performance. We collect monthly dues on or around the 17th of every month. We collect annual fees once per year from each member based upon when the member signed his or her membership agreement. System-wide sales were ~~$961~~$1,019 million and ~~$765~~$868 million, during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1,980 and $1,634 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Non-GAAP financial measures

We refer to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as we use these measures to evaluate our operating performance and we believe these measures provide useful information to investors in evaluating our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as substitutes for U.S. GAAP metrics such as net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, in the future we may incur expenses or charges such as those used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We have also disclosed Segment EBITDA as an important financial metric utilized by the Company to evaluate performance and allocate resources to segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. As part of such disclosure in “Our Segments” within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the Company has provided a reconciliation from income from operations to Total Segment EBITDA, which is equal to the Non-GAAP financial metric EBITDA.

We define EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA, which eliminates the impact of certain expenses that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance, provides useful information to investors to assess the performance of our segments as well as the business as a whole. Our board of directors also uses EBITDA as a key metric to assess the performance of management. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain additional non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company’s core operations. These items include certain purchase accounting adjustments, stock offering-related costs, and certain other charges and gains. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance in addition to EBITDA 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 in comparing the core performance of our business from period to period.

(1)Includes a $1,583 loss on extinguishment of debt in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

(2)Represents the impact of revenue-related purchase accounting adjustments associated with the acquisition of Pla-Fit Holdings on November 8, 2012 ~~Acquisition.~~by TSG (the “2012 Acquisition”). At the time of the 2012 Acquisition, the Company maintained a deferred revenue account, which consisted of deferred area development agreement fees, deferred franchise fees, and deferred enrollment fees that the Company billed and collected ~~up front~~up-front but recognizes for U.S. GAAP purposes at a later date. In connection with the 2012 Acquisition, it was determined that the carrying amount of deferred revenue was greater than the fair value assessed in accordance with ASC 805—Business Combinations, which resulted in a write-down of the carrying value of the deferred revenue balance upon application of acquisition push-down accounting under ASC 805. These amounts represent the additional revenue that would have been recognized in these periods if the write-down to deferred revenue had not occurred in connection with the application of acquisition pushdown accounting.

(3)Represents the impact of rent-related purchase accounting adjustments. In accordance with guidance in ASC 805 – Business Combinations, in connection with the 2012 Acquisition, the Company’s deferred rent liability was required to be written off as of the acquisition date and rent was recorded on a straight-line basis from the acquisition date through the end of the lease term. This resulted in higher overall recorded rent expense each period than would have otherwise been recorded had the deferred rent liability not been written off as a result of the acquisition push down accounting applied in accordance with ASC 805. Adjustments of $45, $33, $90 and ~~$49~~$82 in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflect the difference between the higher rent expense recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP since the acquisition and the rent expense that would have been recorded had the 2012 Acquisition not occurred. Adjustments of $64, $64, $129, and ~~$68~~$132 in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are due to the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases. All of the rent related purchase accounting adjustments are adjustments to rent expense which is included in store operations on our consolidated statements of operations.

(4)Represents the impact of a non-cash loss recorded in accordance with ASC 805 – Business Combinations related to our acquisition of franchisee-owned stores. The loss recorded under U.S. GAAP represents the difference between the fair value and the contractual terms of the reacquired franchise rights and is included in other (gains) losses, net on our consolidated statement of operations.

(5)Represents a gain on settlement of deferred revenue from existing contracts with acquired franchisee-stores recorded in accordance with ASC 805 – Business Combinations, and is included in other (gains) losses, net on our consolidated statement of operations.

Our presentation of Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, 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-recurring 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 shares of Class A common stock outstanding plus any dilutive options and restricted stock units as calculated in accordance with U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP. We believe Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, supplement U.S. GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period. A reconciliation of Adjusted net income to net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and the computation of Adjusted net income per share, diluted, are set forth below.

Liquidity and capital resources

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had ~~$471.2~~$383.5 million of cash and cash equivalents.

We require cash principally to fund day-to-day operations, to finance capital investments, to service our outstanding debt and tax benefit arrangements and to address our working capital needs. Based on our current level of operations, we believe that with the available cash balance, the cash generated from our operations, and amounts ~~we have drawn~~available under our 2022 Variable Funding Notes will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service requirements and obligations under the tax benefit arrangements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We believe that we will be able to meet these obligations even if we experience impacts to sales and profits as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our ability to continue to fund these items and continue to reduce debt could be adversely affected by the occurrence of any of the events described under “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. There can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, including our Securitized Senior Notes, or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our future operating performance and our ability to service, extend or refinance our indebtedness will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, including potential future impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following table presents summary cash flow information for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Securitized Financing Facility

Planet Fitness Master Issuer LLC (the “Master Issuer”), a limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC, is the master issuer of outstanding senior secured notes under a securitized financing facility that was entered into in August 2018. In February 2022, the Master Issuer completed a refinancing transaction with respect to this facility under which the Master Issuer issued the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes with initial principal amounts totaling $900 million. The net proceeds from the sale of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes were used to repay in full the Master Issuer’s outstanding Series 2018-1 Class A-2-I Notes, including the payment of transaction costs. The remaining funds were used for the Sunshine Acquisition and other general corporate purposes.

In connection with the issuance of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes, the Master Issuer also issued the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes, which allow for the drawing of up to $75 million of Variable Funding Notes, including a letter of credit facility, which was used to repay the 2018-1 Class A-1 Notes. The 2022 Variable Funding Notes ~~and remains fully drawn~~are undrawn as of ~~March 31, 2022.~~June 30, 2022 due to repayment in full on May 9, 2022 using cash on hand.

Except as described above, there were no material changes to the terms of any debt obligations since December 31, 2021. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 herein for further information related to our long-term debt obligations.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of guarantees of lease agreements for certain franchisees up to a maximum period of ten years with earlier expiration dates possible if certain conditions are met. Our maximum total obligation under these lease guarantee agreements is approximately ~~$6.5~~$6.3 million and would require payment only upon default by the primary obligor. The estimated fair value of these guarantees as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was not material, and no accrual has been recorded for our potential obligation under these arrangements.

Critical accounting policies and use of estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and use of estimates from those described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Interest rate risk

The securitized financing facility includes the Series 2018-1 Senior Class A-2-II Notes and the Series 2022-1 Senior Class A-2 Notes, which are comprised of fixed interest rate notes, and the 2022 Variable Funding Notes, which allow for the incurrence of up to $75.0 million in revolving loans and/or letters of credit under the 2022 Variable Funding ~~Notes, which is fully drawn.~~Notes. The issuance of the fixed-rate Class A-2 Notes has reduced the Company’s exposure to interest rate increases that could adversely affect its earnings and cash flows. ~~An increase in~~However, the ~~effective~~Company would be exposed to interest rate ~~applied to~~increases on any borrowings under the 2022 Variable Funding ~~Notes of 100 basis points would result in a $0.8 million increase in pre-tax interest expense on an annualized basis.~~Notes.

Foreign exchange risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates, ~~between the U.S. dollar and~~primarily those of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso, which isare the functional ~~currency~~currencies of our Canadian ~~entities.~~entities and Mexican entities, respectively. Our sales, costs and expenses of our ~~Canadian~~foreign subsidiaries, when translated into U.S. dollars, can fluctuate due to exchange rate movement. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, a 10% increase or decrease in the exchange rate of the U.S. and ~~Canadian dollar~~foreign currencies to which we are exposed would increase or decrease net income by a negligible amount.

Inflation risk

Given the recent rise in inflation, there have been and may continue to be increases in materials, shipping, equipment and labor costs, which could impact our profitability and that of our franchisees. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our income from continuing operations, we have a substantial number of hourly employees in our ~~corporate-owned~~corporate-

owned stores that are paid wage rates at or based on the applicable federal or state minimum wage. Any increases in these minimum wages will subsequently increase our labor costs. We may or may not be able to offset cost increases in the future.
