IRVINE, Calif., May 12, 2022 – Xponential Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: XPOF) (“Xponential” or the “Company”), the largest global franchisor of boutique fitness brands, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. All financial figures included in this release refer to global numbers, unless otherwise noted. Definitions for the non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measurements are included in the tables that accompany this release.

“On the heels of a very strong fourth quarter, Xponential Fitness entered 2022 with great momentum. In the first quarter, we opened 99 new studios, bringing our total studio count to 2,229 studios worldwide. In addition, our North America actively paying members and visitation rates each grew 17% in the first quarter of 2022 versus the fourth quarter of 2021,” said Anthony Geisler, CEO of Xponential Fitness, Inc. “Importantly, performance during the first quarter continued to strengthen month over month. We reached a significant milestone in March when our monthly run-rate North America AUVs equaled $477,000, rebounding to peak pre-COVID-19 quarterly run-rate AUVs. Thus far in the second quarter, this growth has continued, and even as the U.S economy experiences unprecedented inflation and macroeconomic pressures, our member counts, both overall and at the individual studio level, are increasing.”

Mr. Geisler continued, “Our differentiated portfolio of complementary brands and modalities, together with the many benefits we experience from our scale and shared services platform, contributed to our financial and operational performance in the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margins of 29% in the first quarter of 2022 nearly doubled on a sequential basis. With a solid start to the new year, we continue to solidify our position as the largest and most differentiated global franchisor in the boutique fitness industry. We remain on track to meet our guidance for 2022, including expectations for Adjusted EBITDA margins to be in the low 30% range, strengthened by the growth and maturation of our business.”

For the first quarter 2022, total revenue increased $21.3 million, or 73%, to $50.4 million, up from $29.1 million in the prior-year period. This increase included a corresponding North America same store sales increase of 47%.

Net loss totaled $15.2 million, or a loss of $1.51 per share, compared to a loss of $4.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was the result of $14.0 million of higher overall profitability, offset by a $9.4 million increase in non-cash contingent consideration primarily related to the Rumble acquisition, and a $15.0 million increase in non-cash equity-based compensation expense. Please see the table at the back of the release for a calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Consistent with previous periods, the Rumble acquisition non-cash contingent consideration earn-out liability is being marked-to-market based on Xponential’s share price. With the trading price of our shares increasing nearly 15% between December 2021 and March 2022, a corresponding increased earn-out liability was recorded. As part of this adjustment, Xponential’s total share count does not increase until the shares vest, which occurs at a weighted average share price of $61.90.

Adjusted Net Loss for the first quarter 2022, which excludes the $9.5 million non-cash contingent consideration related primarily to the Rumble acquisition and $0.3 million related to the remeasurement of the Company’s tax receivable agreement, was $5.3 million, or ($0.19) per share, which is based on 22.7 million shares of Class A common stock.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for equity-based compensation, acquisition & transaction expenses, management fees, litigation expenses, employee retention credit, secondary public offering expenses and tax receivable agreement remeasurement, increased to $14.5 million, up from $3.6 million in the prior-year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $15.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $130.3 million in total long-term debt. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use certain non-GAAP financial information, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income or Loss, and Adjusted Net Income or Loss per share, which exclude certain non-operating or non-recurring items, including but not limited to, equity-based compensation expenses, acquisition and transaction related expenses, litigation expenses, and secondary public offering expenses, that we believe are not representative of our core business or future operating performance, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively with comparable GAAP financial measures, is helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, and provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measure as tools for comparison. We seek to compensate such limitations by providing a detailed reconciliation for the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures discussed in this release, please see the tables at the end of this press release.

Footnotes

^1^ System-wide sales represent gross sales by all studios. System-wide sales includes sales by franchisees that<br>are not revenue realized by us in accordance with GAAP. While we do not record sales by franchisees as revenue, and such sales are not included in our consolidated financial statements, this operating metric relates to our revenue because we receive<br>approximately 7% and 2% of the sales by franchisees as royalty revenue and marketing fund revenue, respectively. We believe that this operating measure aids in understanding how we derive our royalty revenue and marketing fund revenue and is<br>important in evaluating our performance. System-wide sales growth is driven by new studio openings and increases in same store sales. Management reviews system-wide sales monthly, which enables us to assess changes in our franchise revenue, overall<br>studio performance, the health of our brands and the strength of our market position relative to competitors.
^2^ Same store sales refer to period-over-period sales comparisons for the base of studios. We define the same<br>store sales base to include studios in North America that have been open for at least 13 calendar months as of the measurement date. Any transfer of ownership of a studio does not affect this metric. We measure same store sales based solely upon<br>monthly sales as reported by franchisees. This measure highlights the performance of existing studios, while excluding the impact of new studio openings. Management reviews same store sales to assess the health of the franchised studios.<br>

^3^ AUV is calculated by dividing sales during the applicable period for all studios being measured by the number<br>of studios being measured. Quarterly run-rate AUV consists of average quarterly sales for all studios that are at least 6 months old at the beginning of the respective quarter, multiplied by four. Monthly run-rate AUV is calculated as the monthly AUV multiplied by twelve, for studios that are at least 6 months old at the beginning of the respective month. AUV growth is primarily driven by changes in same store sales<br>and is also influenced by new studio openings. Management reviews AUV to assess studio economics.

^5^ We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (net income/loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization),<br>adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include equity-based compensation, acquisition and<br>transaction expenses (including change in contingent consideration), management fees and expenses (that were discontinued after July 2021), litigation expenses (consisting of legal and related fees for specific proceedings that arise outside of the<br>ordinary course of our business), employee retention credit (a credit for retaining employees throughout the COVID-19 pandemic), secondary public offering expenses for which we do not receive proceeds and<br>expense related to the remeasurement of our TRA obligation that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance and affect comparability. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested<br>parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and overall results of<br>operations 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<br>business from period to period.
