Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights
•Total revenue increased from the prior year period by 13.3% to $340.9 million.
•System-wide same club sales increased 8.2%.
•System-wide sales increased to $1.4 billion from $1.2 billion in the prior year period.
•Net income attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. was $58.0 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to $48.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
•Net income increased $9.0 million to $58.3 million, compared to $49.3 million in the prior year period.
•Adjusted net income(1) increased $10.4 million to $72.6 million, or $0.86 per diluted share(1), compared to $62.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
•Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $20.1 million to $147.6 million from $127.5 million in the prior year period.
•23 new Planet Fitness clubs were opened system-wide during the period, which included 20 franchisee-owned and 3 corporate-owned clubs, bringing system-wide total clubs to 2,762 as of June 30, 2025.
•Cash and marketable securities of $582.5 million, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $335.7 million, restricted cash of $56.5 million and marketable securities of $190.3 million as of June 30, 2025.
“Today marks the 10-year anniversary for Planet Fitness as a public company. Over the past decade, through a steadfast commitment to our mission and strategy, we’ve added nearly 14 million members, expanded our global footprint by more than 1,700 clubs, and established a presence in all 50 states and four additional countries. While we are proud of our accomplishments, we believe there is even greater opportunity ahead. As consumers increasingly prioritize health and well-being, Planet Fitness is well-positioned to meet this demand with our judgement-free, high-quality, and affordable fitness experience. Early momentum in programs like our High School Summer Pass – which is now in its fifth year and outpacing prior-year sign-ups and workouts – underscores our potential,” said Colleen Keating, Chief Executive Officer. “In the second quarter, we delivered strong financial performance and remain confident in our full-year outlook for 2025, even amid near-term economic variability. We recently signed a binding agreement to sell our eight corporate clubs in California to a franchisee in the market delivering on our commitment to recycle capital where appropriate and demonstrating our commitment to our asset-light model.”
Operating Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2025
For the second quarter of 2025, total revenue increased $39.9 million or 13.3% to $340.9 million from $300.9 million in the prior year period, including system-wide same club sales growth of 8.2%. By segment:
•Franchise segment revenue increased $11.9 million or 11.0% to $119.7 million from $107.8 million in the prior year period. Of the increase, $8.0 million was due to higher royalty revenue, of which $5.0 million was attributable to a franchise same club sales increase of 8.3%, $1.6 million was attributable to new clubs opened since April 1, 2024 before moving into the same club sales base and $1.4 million was from higher royalties on annual fees. Franchise segment revenue also includes $2.7 million of higher National Advertising Fund (“NAF”) revenue and $1.5 million of higher franchise and other fees;
•Corporate-owned clubs segment revenue increased $13.5 million or 10.8% to $139.0 million from $125.5 million in the prior year period. Of the increase, $8.1 million was attributable to corporate-owned clubs included in the same club sales base, of which $5.6 million was attributable to a same club sales increase of 7.0%, $0.8 million was attributable to higher annual fee revenue and $1.7 million was attributable to other fees. Additionally, $5.4 million was from new clubs opened since April 1, 2024 before moving into the same club sales base; and
1 Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per share, diluted are non-GAAP measures. For reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income to U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) net income and a computation of Adjusted net income per share, diluted, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” accompanying this press release.
•Equipment segment revenue increased $14.5 million or 21.5% to $82.2 million from $67.7 million in the prior year period. Of the increase, $14.3 million was attributable to higher revenue from equipment sales to existing franchisee-owned clubs and $0.3 million was attributable to higher revenue from equipment sales to new franchisee-owned clubs. In the second quarter of 2025, we had equipment sales to 19 new franchisee-owned clubs compared to 18 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 $9.0 million or 11.7% to $86.5 million. This increase was primarily attributable to higher franchise segment revenue of $11.9 million, as described above, partially offset by $2.7 million of higher NAF expense;
•Corporate-owned clubs Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.0 million or 14.2% to $56.6 million. This increase was primarily attributable to $5.8 million from the corporate-owned same clubs sales increase of 7.0% and $1.5 million of lower selling, general and administrative expenses. This increase was partially offset by $1.0 million of lower Adjusted EBITDA from the eight clubs open and operating in Spain, all of which are yet to be included in the same club sales base.
•Equipment Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.9 million or 42.3% to $26.4 million. This increase was primarily attributable to higher equipment sales to new and existing franchisee-owned clubs, as described above, and higher margin equipment sales related to an updated equipment mix as a result of the adoption of the franchise growth model.
Subsequent Event
On August 4, 2025, the Company signed a binding agreement to sell eight corporate-owned clubs located in California to a franchisee. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter, subject to customary closing contingencies.
2025 Outlook
The Company continues to believe that between its tariff mitigation plans and the current tariff levels, its exposure is limited. This guidance does not include estimates or assumptions regarding the impact of tariffs beyond the existing regulations currently in place.
For the year ending December 31, 2025, the Company is narrowing and reiterating the following expectations:
•New equipment placements of approximately 130 to 140 in franchisee-owned locations
•System-wide new club openings of approximately 160 to 170 locations
•System-wide same club sales growth of approximately 6% (previously 5% to 6%)
The Company is reiterating the following growth expectations over its 2024 results:
•Revenue to increase in the 10% range
•Adjusted EBITDA to increase in the 10% range
•Adjusted net income to increase in the 8% to 9% range
•Adjusted net income per share, diluted to increase in the 11% to 12% range, based on adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 84.5 million, inclusive of the shares expected to be repurchased in 2025.
The Company continues to expect 2025 net interest expense to be approximately $86.0 million. It also continues to expect capital expenditures to increase approximately 20% driven by additional clubs in our corporate-owned portfolio and depreciation and amortization to remain flat compared to 2024.
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, 2025. 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, 2025, 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 August 6, 2025 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.

Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially include competition in the fitness industry, the Company’s and franchisees’ ability to attract and retain members, the Company’s and franchisees’ ability to identify and secure suitable sites for new franchise clubs, changes in consumer demand, changes in equipment costs, the Company’s ability to expand into new markets domestically and internationally, operating costs for the Company and franchisees generally, availability and cost of capital for franchisees, acquisition activity, developments and changes in laws and regulations, our substantial indebtedness and our ability to incur additional indebtedness or refinance that indebtedness in the future, our future financial performance and our ability to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness, our corporate structure and tax receivable agreements, failures, interruptions or security breaches of the Company’s information systems or technology, general economic conditions and the other factors described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and, once available, the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as well as the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Except as required by law, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates or representatives undertake any obligation to provide additional information or to correct or update any information set forth in this release, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

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.

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.
