Operating expenses | 97.9 | % | 92.9 | % | (0.1 | )% | ||||||
Total operating expensesdecreased 0.1% for Q2 2010 compared to Q2 2009. Operating expenses were impacted by a 3.6% decrease in the total months of clubs in operation. Operating margin was 2.1% for Q2 2010 compared to 7.1% for Q2 2009.
Payroll and related. Offsetting the decreases in payroll related to membership consultants and the effects from the decrease in total club months of operations was an increase related to personal training payroll.
Club operating. In addition to the decrease in total months of club operation and total member club usage, in Q2 2010, operating expenses decreased related to laundry and towel efficiencies of $413,000 when compared to Q2 2009. Rent and occupancy decreased $687,000 in Q2 2010.
General and administrative. Decreases in Q2 2010 general and administrative expenses compared to Q2 2009 were principally attributable to decreases in general liability insurance expense due to a reduction in claims activity and therefore a reduction of claims reserves.
Depreciation and amortization.Depreciation and amortization decreased in Q2 2010 due to the closing of five clubs subsequent to June 30, 2009, the accelerated depreciation related to clubs closed prior to lease expiration dates in Q2 2009 and the effect of the fixed asset impairment write-offs in the year ended December 31, 2009 and Q1 2010.
Impairment of fixed assets.In Q2 2010, we recorded fixed asset impairment charges of $2.9 million, $1.2 million representing the write-off of fixed assets at an underperforming club and $1.7 million related to the planned closure of another club prior to the lease expiration date. There were no fixed asset impairment charges in Q2 2009.
Net Lossfor Q2 2010 was $815,000 compared to net income of $2.5 million for Q2 2009.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010,total revenue decreased $15.4 million or 6.2% compared to the same period in 2009 and operating margin was 2.2% compared to 5.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded fixed asset impairment charges of $3.3 million compared to $1.1 million in the same period in 2009. Net loss was $1.5 million compared to net income of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Cash flow from operating activitiesfor the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $29.5 million, a decrease of $21.5 million from the six months ended June 30, 2009, which was primarily related to the decrease in earnings and increases in cash paid for interest and taxes of $7.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
Third Quarter 2010 Business Outlook:
We are limiting our guidance to the third quarter of 2010. Based on the current business environment, recent performance and current trends in the marketplace and subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, our outlook for the third quarter of 2010 includes the following:
• | Revenue for Q3 2010 is expected to be between $113.5 million and $114.5 million versus $120.4 million for Q3 2009. As percentages of revenue, we expect Q3 2010 payroll and related expenses to approximate 40.0%, club operating expenses to approximate 39.5% and general and administrative expenses to approximate 7.0%. | ||
• | We expect a net loss for Q3 2010 of between $1.0 million and $1.5 million, and loss per share to be in the range of ($0.04) per share to ($0.07) per share, assuming a 60% effective tax rate and 22.6 million weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding. |
Investing Activities Outlook:
For the year ending December 31, 2010, we currently plan to invest $26.0 million to $28.0 million in capital expenditures. This is down from $49.3 million of capital expenditures in 2009. We expect that the 2010 amount will include approximately $20.0 million to continue to upgrade existing clubs and $4.0 million principally related to major renovations at clubs with recent lease renewals and upgrading our in-club entertainment system network. We also expect to invest $1.5 million to enhance our management information systems. The remainder of our 2010 capital expenditures will be committed to building or expanding clubs.
