TOWN SPORTS INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC.
REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2016 RESULTS
New York, NY - July 28, 2016 - Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLUB) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Second Quarter Highlights
• | Total member count decreased 2,000 to 551,000 during Q2 2016 compared to an increase of 20,000 in Q2 2015 (Q2 2015 member count increase was associated with the roll out of the lower pricing model). |
• | Membership monthly attrition averaged 3.5% per month in Q2 2016 compared to 4.0% per month in Q2 2015. |
• | Q2 2016 net income was $20.7 million, or $0.79 diluted earnings per share, compared with Q2 2015 net loss of $31.1 million, or $1.26 loss per share. Net income for Q2 2016 included a gain on debt extinguishment of $38.5 million ($25.0 million, net of taxes). Net loss for Q2 2015 included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $31.6 million and non-cash fixed asset impairment charge of $1.0 million. The goodwill impairment charge had a non-cash income tax benefit of $11.9 million. The fixed asset impairment charge did not have any tax effect due to the impact of the Company’s tax valuation allowance in Q2 2015. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA was $9.6 million in Q2 2016, an increase of 74.8% compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $5.5 million in Q2 2015 (refer to the reconciliation at the end of this earnings release). |
• | In Q2 2016, TSI Holdings settled two transactions to purchase a total of $71.1 million principal amount of debt outstanding under the 2013 Senior Credit Facility for $29.8 million, or an average of 42% of face value. The purchased debt was transferred to Town Sports International, LLC and cancelled upon settlement. |
Patrick Walsh, Executive Chairman of TSI, commented: “We were particularly pleased with our Adjusted EBITDA and margin growth of 75% and 87% respectively, during the quarter. In less than one year, management has increased Adjusted EBITDA margins by 442 basis points. These results are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our current team of more than 7,000 employees supporting our effort to improve the Company’s operational efficiency. Our primarily focus now is to strengthen our membership base and increase revenue.”
Total revenue for Q2 2016 was $100.9 million compared to $108.3 million for Q2 2015. The revenue decrease was primarily due to club closures in 2015 and the first half of 2016, a decrease in initiation and processing fees, and a decline in sales volume for our personal training products.
Q2 2016 vs. Q2 2015 | |
(in millions) | |
Membership revenue | $76.9 vs. $81.8 (down 5.9%) |
Personal training revenue | $17.7 vs. $19.3 (down 8.5%) |
Total operating expenses for Q2 2016 was $102.4 million compared to $149.7 million for Q2 2015. The 2015 period included fixed asset and goodwill impairment charges of $32.6 million. Not including from these items, operating expenses decreased $14.8 million primarily reflecting the results of our cost savings initiatives, in particular, overhead and club level savings as well as savings in General and administrative expenses.
Q2 2016 vs. Q2 2015 | |
(in millions) | |
Payroll and related | $38.2 vs. $46.1 (down 17.3%) |
Club operating | $46.8 vs. $50.8 (down 7.9%) |

Total cash as of June 30, 2016 was $58.9 million and total debt was $203.0 million, for net debt of $144.1 million. This was a decrease of 27.7% compared to the net debt as of December 31, 2015. Total cash as of December 31, 2015 was $76.2 million and total debt was $275.4 million, for net debt of $199.2 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus interest expense (net of interest income), provision (benefit) for corporate income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is the Company’s EBITDA excluding certain items, such as any fixed asset or goodwill impairments, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and net occupancy gain (loss) related to club closures. In the case of Q2 2016 Adjusted EBITDA also excludes cost savings initiatives. In the case of Q2 2015, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes non-cash rental income from a former tenant, rent related to building financing arrangement, legal and other costs in connection with changes to the Board of Directors, as well as separation expense related to our former Chief Executive Officer. EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, as we define it, may not be identical to similarly titled measures used by some other companies.
EBITDA has material limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from EBITDA, but included in the calculation of reported net income and operating income, are significant and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of our performance.
Investors or prospective investors in the Company regularly request EBITDA as a supplemental analytical measure to, and in conjunction with, our GAAP financial data. We understand that these investors use EBITDA, among other things, to assess our ability to service our existing debt and to incur debt in the future, to evaluate our executive compensation programs, to assess our ability to fund our capital expenditure program, and to gain insight into the manner in which the Company’s management and board of directors analyze our performance. We believe that investors find the inclusion of EBITDA in our press releases to be useful and helpful to them.
Our management and board of directors also use EBITDA as a supplemental measure to our GAAP financial data for purposes broadly similar to those used by investors.
The purposes to which EBITDA may be used by investors, and is used by our management and board of directors, include the following:
• | The Company is required to comply with financial covenants and borrowing limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA as defined in our 2013 Senior Credit Facility, as amended. |
• | Our discussions with prospective lenders and investors in recent years, including in relation to our 2013 Senior Credit Facility, have confirmed the importance of EBITDA in their decision-making processes relating to the making of loans to us or investing in our debt securities. |
• | The Company uses EBITDA as a key factor in determining annual incentive bonuses for executive officers (as discussed in our proxy statement). |
• | The Company considers EBITDA to be a useful supplemental measure to GAAP financial data because it provides a performance measure to assess results without regard to capital structure and taxes. |
• | Quarterly, equity analysts who follow our company often report on our EBITDA with respect to valuation commentary. |
Adjusted EBITDA has similar uses and limitations as EBITDA. We have excluded additional items in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that this metric is useful in making period to period comparisons of our performance. We do not, and investors should not, place undue reliance on EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our performance.
