1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. (collectively with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, “Life Time,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a holding company incorporated in the state of Delaware. As a holding company, Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. does not have its own independent assets or business operations, and all of our assets and business operations are through Life Time, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. We are primarily dedicated to providing premium health, fitness and wellness experiences at our athletic country club destinations and via our comprehensive digital platform and portfolio of iconic athletic events – all with the objective of inspiring healthier, happier lives. We design, build and operate our athletic country club destinations that are distinctive and large, multi-use sports and athletic, professional fitness, family recreation and spa centers in a resort-like environment. As of March 31, 2025, we operated 180 centers in 31 states and one Canadian province.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). While these statements reflect normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Segment Reporting
We have one operating segment and one reportable segment. Our segment derives revenues from customers by providing premium health, fitness and wellness experiences and products at our athletic country club destinations and via our comprehensive digital platform and portfolio of iconic athletic events – all with the objective of inspiring healthier, happier lives. We manage our business activities on a consolidated basis.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CODM assesses performance for the segment and allocates resources based on consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. Our CODM does not review segment assets at a different asset level and is regularly provided with only the consolidated expenses as noted on the face of the consolidated statements of operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance to enhance transparency of income tax disclosures. The updated guidance requires additional disclosures on income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, among other things. We expect to adopt the accounting guidance for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance that requires public entities to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion, as applicable, included in each relevant expense caption presented in its income statement. We expect to adopt this accounting guidance for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. This enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The guidance requires that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The carrying amounts related to cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income tax receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value.
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis. We had no material remeasurements of such assets or liabilities to fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Financial Assets and Liabilities. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value and fair value of our outstanding long-term debt was as follows:
March 31, 2025 |
December 31, 2024 |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Carrying Value | Fair Value |
Carrying Value | Fair Value |
||||||||||||||||||||
Long-term debt (1)
|
$ | $ | $ | $ |
(1) Excludes unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs.
The fair value of our debt is based on the amount of future cash flows discounted using rates we would currently be able to realize for similar instruments of comparable maturity. If our long-term debt were recorded at fair value, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For more information regarding our debt, see Note 6, Debt.
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis primarily relate to our goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, which are remeasured when the derived fair value is below carrying value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For these assets, we do not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. If we determine that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset would be reduced to fair value and the difference would be recorded as a loss within operating income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We had no material remeasurements of such assets or liabilities to fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Term Loan Facility
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2025 bore interest at a rate per annum equal to Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin of 2.50 %. Effective April 8, 2025, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for our entire Term Loan Facility notional amount of $997.5 million, which converted the variable interest rate of our Term Loan Facility to a fixed interest rate of 3.409 %, plus the applicable margin of 2.50 % (subject to one ratings-based step down of 0.25 %). We are required to make quarterly principal payments of 0.25 % of the outstanding balance on the Term Loan Facility.
Revolving Credit Facility
At March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the $650.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, and there were $30.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in total revolver availability of $619.2 million, which was available at intervals ranging from 30 to 180 days at interest rates of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.25 % or base rate plus 1.25 % (subject to one ratings-based step down of 0.25 %).
The weighted average interest rate and debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 7.07 % and $10.8 million, respectively. The highest balance during that same period was $60.0 million.
Debt Covenants
We are required to comply with certain affirmative and restrictive covenants under our Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, our “Credit Facilities”), 6.000 % Senior Secured Notes and Mortgage Notes. We are also required to comply with a first lien net leverage ratio covenant under the Revolving Credit Facility, which requires us to maintain a first lien net leverage ratio, if 30.00 % or more of the Revolving Credit Facility commitments are outstanding shortly after the end of any fiscal quarter (excluding all cash collateralized undrawn letters of credit and other undrawn letters of credit up to $90.0 million).
As of March 31, 2025, we were either in compliance in all material respects with the covenants or the covenants were not applicable.

7. Stockholders’ Equity
Share-Based Compensation Expense
Share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $11.9 million, of which $10.3 million and $1.6 million was associated with equity-classified awards and liability-classified awards, respectively.
Share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $7.6 million, of which $7.8 million and $(0.2 ) million was associated with equity-classified awards and liability-classified awards, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted approximately 0.6 million restricted stock unit awards under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan, of which approximately 0.3 million were time-based vesting awards that vest in three ratable installments and approximately 0.3 million were performance-based vesting awards granted to our executives in connection with our short-term incentive compensation program, in each case subject to continuous employment from the grant date through the applicable vesting date unless otherwise agreed with the award recipient. We determine the grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards by multiplying the number of restricted stock unit awards by the closing trading price of our common stock on the grant date.
Performance Stock Units
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted approximately 0.3 million three-year performance stock unit awards under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan, all of which were granted to our executives in connection with our long-term incentive compensation program. The performance stock unit awards are based on our Adjusted EBITDA with performance determined each year for one-third of such award but the entire award does not vest until the end of the three-year period. We determine the grant date fair value of performance stock unit awards by multiplying the number of performance stock unit awards by the closing trading price of our common stock on the grant date.
Other Share-Based Payment Awards
2025 Short-Term Incentive Program
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company adopted a short-term incentive compensation program for eligible team members who are not executive officers. Pursuant to this program, awards will be paid out in cash and/or through the issuance of fully-vested shares of the Company’s common stock in early 2026 if the Company’s performance exceeds the tranche one performance metric. As of March 31, 2025, we expect that all of these awards will be settled in fully-vested shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, we are accounting for the potential issuance of these shares of common stock as share-based payment awards granted under this program. Because the incentive compensation associated with these awards represents a fixed dollar amount that, if payable, will be settled in a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock, we are currently accounting for these awards as liability-classified share-based payment awards. Accordingly, the offset to the share-based compensation expense we have recognized in connection with these awards during the three months ended

March 31, 2025 is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our March 31, 2025 condensed consolidated balance sheet.
2024 Short-Term Incentive Program
In February 2025, our board of directors determined that our 2024 performance exceeded the tranche three performance metric under our 2024 short-term incentive compensation program and issued corresponding shares of common stock to our eligible employees. Effective as of the determination date, the $13.7 million then-outstanding liability we had recognized in connection with these liability-classified share-based payment awards was reclassified out of Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and into Common stock and Additional paid-in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheet during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

On August 19, 2020, Life Time, Inc., several of its subsidiaries, and a joint venture entity, Bloomingdale Life Time Fitness LLC (collectively, the “Life Time Parties”) filed a complaint against Zurich American Insurance Company (“Zurich”) in the Fourth Judicial District of the State of Minnesota, County of Hennepin (Case No. 27-CV-20-10599) (the “Action”) seeking declaratory relief and damages with respect to Zurich’s failure under a property/business interruption insurance policy to provide certain coverage to the Life Time Parties related to the closure or suspension by governmental authorities of their business activities due to the spread or threat of the spread of COVID-19. On March 15, 2021, certain of the Life Time Parties filed a First Amended Complaint in the Action adding claims against Zurich under a Builders’ Risk policy related to the suspension of multiple construction projects. The Court granted Zurich’s dispositive motions on July 25, 2024, dismissing the

(Table amounts in thousands except per share data)
Life Time Parties’ claims with prejudice, and entered judgment on July 26, 2024. The Life Time Parties have appealed from that judgment to the Minnesota Court of Appeals. The appeal has been briefed by the parties and is currently scheduled for oral argument on May 15, 2025. The Action is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the matter is not predictable with any assurance.
Other
We are also engaged in other proceedings incidental to the normal course of business. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties, including but not limited to court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental intervention. We establish reserves for matters that are probable and estimable in amounts we believe are adequate to cover reasonable adverse judgments. Based upon the information available to us and discussions with legal counsel, it is our opinion that the outcome of the various legal actions and claims that are incidental to our business will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcomes of individual matters are not predictable with assurance.
10. Subsequent Events
In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we have evaluated the period from March 31, 2025 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued for material subsequent events. Except for the closing of an acquisition in April 2025, as disclosed in Note 4, Property and Equipment, and the interest rate swap agreement entered into in April 2025, as disclosed in Note 6, Debt, there have been no other events or transactions during this time which would have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements and therefore would require recognition or disclosure.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this discussion and analysis are forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities regulations. Forward-looking statements in this discussion and analysis include, but are not limited to, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial, including our financial outlook and cash flow, possible or assumed future actions, opportunities for growth and margin expansion, improvements to our balance sheet and leverage, capital expenditures, consumer demand, industry and economic trends, business strategies, events or results of operations. Generally, forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent only our current beliefs and assumptions regarding future events. All forward-looking statements are, by nature, subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. This discussion and analysis does not purport to identify factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. You should understand that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance or results and are preliminary in nature. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements.

In addition, any statements or information that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this discussion and analysis are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including risks relating to our business operations and competitive and economic environment, risks relating to our brand, risks relating to the growth of our business, risks relating to our technological operations, risks relating to our capital structure and lease obligations, risks relating to our human capital, risks relating to legal compliance and risk management and risks relating to ownership of our common stock and the other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC that are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Since it is not possible to foresee all such factors, these factors should not be considered as complete or exhaustive. Consequently, we caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, as no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may vary materially. Additionally, our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, investments or other strategic transactions we may make.

Overview
Business and Strategy
Life Time, the “Healthy Way of Life Company,” is a premier lifestyle and leisure brand offering premium health, fitness and wellness experiences to a community of more than 1.5 million individual members, who together comprise more than 879,000 memberships, as of March 31, 2025. We are a leading innovator in the industry having successfully created a leisure model that incorporates the country club wellness lifestyle within a fitness and active living community. We have earned the trust of our members for over 30 years to make their lives healthier and happier by offering them the best places, programs and performers. We deliver high-quality experiences through our omni-channel physical and digital ecosystem that includes 180 centers—distinctive, resort-like athletic country club destinations—across 31 states in the United States and one province in Canada. Our continuous commitment to members has resulted in strong brand loyalty and fueled our strong, long-term financial performance.
Our luxurious athletic country clubs total over 17 million of indoor square feet and approximately seven million of outdoor square feet in the aggregate. Our centers are located in affluent suburban and urban locations. Depending on the size and location of a center, we offer expansive fitness floors with top-of-the-line equipment, spacious locker rooms, group fitness studios and spaces, recovery spaces, indoor and outdoor pools and bistros, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, basketball courts, LifeSpa, LifeCafe and our childcare and Kids Academy learning spaces. Our premium service offerings are delivered by over 43,000 Life Time team members, including over 10,800 certified fitness professionals, ranging from personal trainers to studio performers.
Our members are highly engaged and draw inspiration from the experiences and community we have created. The value our members place on our community is reflected in the continued strength and growth of our average revenue per center membership, center usage and the visits to our athletic country clubs. Our average revenue per center membership increased to $844 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $745 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Total visits to our clubs were over 30 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 28 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and average visits per membership to our centers remained strong at 38 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
We believe that no other company in the United States delivers the same quality and breadth of health, fitness and wellness experiences that we deliver, which has enabled us to consistently grow our annual membership dues and in-center revenue.
Our total Center revenue increased to $685.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $580.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We believe it will continue to grow as we open new centers in desirable locations across the country, new members join at higher membership dues rates, our new centers ramp to expected performance, we benefit from capital expenditures already invested in our centers under construction and we continue to execute on our strategic initiatives discussed below. Our new centers on average have taken three to four years to ramp to expected performance. As of March 31, 2025, we had 28 centers open for less than three years and 13 new centers under construction, with significant growth capital expenditures already invested into these new centers that have yet to open. We are expanding the number of our centers using an asset-light model that targets increasingly affluent markets with higher income members, higher average revenue per center membership and higher returns on invested capital. As we open these new centers in more affluent markets, our average revenue per center membership should naturally increase. We believe we have significant opportunities to continue expanding our portfolio of premium centers in an asset-light manner and we are targeting 10 to 12 new locations on average per year. We believe these combined dynamics create a strong tailwind for the continued growth of our total Center revenue.
We also continue to execute on several strategic initiatives that are driving revenue, engagement and memberships as we continue to elevate and broaden our member experiences and allow our members to integrate health, fitness and wellness into their lives with greater ease and frequency. These strategic initiatives include pickleball, Dynamic Personal Training, Dynamic Stretch, small group training such as Alpha, GTX and Ultra Fit, and our ARORA community focused on members aged 55 years and older, where we have experienced a significant increase in our unique participants or total sessions. We launched a pilot location for our MIORA performance and longevity health offering in 2024 and we have now opened our second location with plans to expand these offerings to additional locations in 2025 and beyond. We have also been executing on enhanced offerings within our LifeCafe, LifeShop, LifeSpa and e-commerce, including our newly branded LTH nutritional products. Additionally, our digital platform is delivering a true omni-channel experience through our integrated digital app that is now available at no cost, including live streaming fitness classes, remote goal-based personal training, nutrition and weight loss support and curated award-winning health, fitness and wellness content. In addition, our LifeShop digital health store offers a wide variety of equipment, wearables, apparel, beauty products and nutritional supplements. We are continuing to invest in our digital capabilities, including artificial intelligence, to strengthen our relationships with our members, reach more people
18
looking for a Healthy Way of Life and more comprehensively address their health, fitness and wellness needs so that they can engage and connect with Life Time at any time or place.
We also continue to expand our “Healthy Way of Life” ecosystem in response to the desire of our members to holistically integrate health and wellness into every aspect of their daily lives. In 2018, we launched Life Time Work, an asset-light branded co-working model that offers premium work spaces in close proximity to our athletic country clubs and integrates ergonomic furnishings and promotes a healthy working environment. Life Time Work members also have the ability to receive access to all of our resort-like athletic country club destinations across the United States and Canada. Additionally, our Life Time Living locations, which are also an asset-light model, offer luxury wellness-oriented residences, also in close proximity to our athletic country clubs. As of March 31, 2025, we had 15 Life Time Work and four Life Time Living locations open and operating. Our Life Time Living offering is generating interest from new property developers and presenting opportunities for new center development and deal terms that were not previously available to us. Our omni-channel platform continues to grow as we expand our footprint with new centers and nearby work and living spaces, as well as strengthen our digital capabilities.
Macroeconomy
We continue to monitor the macroeconomic environment and its impact on our business, including with respect to tariffs, inflation, interest rates and labor, as well as a potential economic recession. There continues to be significant macroeconomic uncertainty in many markets around the world, including as a result of international trade policy and new or elevated tariffs, which have increased certain of our expenses and capital expenditures, but have not had a material impact on our business. We continue to analyze the potential impact of these events and any resulting downstream impacts, including higher inflation. Despite these headwinds, we have experienced growth in our revenue and expanded our operating margins. We will continue to monitor the macroeconomic environment and while any future uncertainty or volatility, a decline in the U.S. or global economy, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could adversely affect our business and results of operations, we believe that our business is resilient and has performed well historically during different economic cycles including during a recession.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This discussion and analysis includes certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and ratios related thereto. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated.
Adjusted Net Income
We define Adjusted net income as net income excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations, less the tax effect of these adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations.
Management uses Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company’s performance. We believe that Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA are important metrics for management, investors and analysts as they remove the impact of items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance and allows for consistent comparison of our operating results over time and relative to our peers. We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in evaluating the effectiveness of our business strategies and to establish annual budgets and forecasts. We also use Adjusted EBITDA or variations thereof to establish incentive compensation for management.
19
Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of construction reimbursements, plus net proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions and land sales. We believe free cash flow assists investors and analysts in evaluating our liquidity and cash flows, including our ability to make principal payments on our indebtedness and to fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Our management considers free cash flow to be a key indicator of our liquidity and we present this metric to our board of directors. Additionally, we believe free cash flow is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Furthermore, we compensate for the limitations described above by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow only for supplemental purposes. See our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for our GAAP results.
Non-GAAP Measurements and Key Performance Indicators
We prepare and analyze various non-GAAP performance metrics and key performance indicators to assess the performance of our business and allocate resources. For more information regarding our non-GAAP performance metrics, see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above. These are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
Set forth below are certain GAAP and non-GAAP measurements and key performance indicators for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The following information has been presented consistently for all periods presented.

(1) We define Average Center revenue per center membership as Center revenue less On-hold revenue, divided by the average number of Center memberships for the period, where the average number of Center memberships for the period is an average derived from dividing the sum of the total Center memberships outstanding at the beginning of the period and at the end of each month during the period by one plus the number of months in each period.
21
(2) We measure the results of our centers based on how long each center has been open as of the most recent measurement period. We include a center, for comparable center revenue purposes, beginning on the first day of the 13th full calendar month of the center’s operation, in order to assess the center’s growth rate after one year of operation.
(3) Net new center openings is calculated as the number of centers that opened for the first time to members during the period, less any centers that closed during the period. Total centers (end of period) is the number of centers operational as of the last day of the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we opened one center.
(4) Total center square footage (end of period) reflects the aggregate square footage excluding areas used for tennis courts, outdoor swimming pools, outdoor play areas and stand-alone Work, Sport and Swim locations. We use this metric for evaluating the efficiencies of a center as of the end of the period. These figures are approximations.
(5) Net income margin is calculated as net income divided by total revenue.
(6) We present Adjusted net income as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted net income as net income excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense as well as (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions, capital transaction costs, legal settlements, asset impairment, severance and other items that are not indicative of our ongoing operations, less the tax effect of these adjustments.
Adjusted net income margin is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by total revenue.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations
Impact of Our Asset-light, Flexible Real Estate Strategy on Rent Expense
Our asset-light, flexible real estate strategy has allowed us to expand our business by leveraging operating leases and sale-leaseback transactions, among other asset-light opportunities. Approximately 74% of our centers are now leased, including approximately 89% of our new centers opened since 2015, versus a predominantly owned real estate strategy prior to 2015. Rent expense, which includes both cash and non-cash rent expense, will continue to increase as we lease more centers and will therefore impact the comparability of our results of operations. The impact of these increases is dependent upon the timing of our centers under development and the center openings, the timing of sale-leaseback transactions and terms of the leases for the new centers or sale-leaseback transactions.
23
Macroeconomic Trends
We have been monitoring the macroeconomic environment and its impact on our business, including with respect to tariffs, inflation, interest rates and labor, as well as a potential economic recession. See “—Overview—Macroeconomy” for additional information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. In recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations, we use estimates based on the best information available. We revise the recorded estimates when better information is available, facts change or we can determine actual amounts. These revisions can affect operating results.
Management has evaluated the development and selection of our critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and believes these policies to be reasonable and appropriate. Certain of these policies involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity and are most significant to reporting our results of operations and financial position, and are, therefore, discussed as critical. Our most significant estimates and assumptions that materially affect the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments, which management used while performing goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible and long-lived asset impairment analyses and sale-leaseback arrangements.
More information on all of our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies described in such Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Total revenue. The $109.3 million increase in Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to continued strong growth in membership dues and in-center revenue, including higher average dues as a result of pricing actions already completed and higher rack rates at newer centers, membership growth in our new and ramping centers and higher member utilization of our in-center offerings.
With respect to the $105.2 million increase in Center revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024:
•72.5% was from membership dues and enrollment fees, which increased $76.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase reflects the improvement in our Center memberships, which increased to 826,374 as of March 31, 2025 from 802,010 as of March 31, 2024, as well as higher average monthly dues per Center membership during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024; and
•27.5% was from in-center revenue, which increased $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was recognized across all of our primary in-center businesses and reflects the higher utilization of our offerings by our members, particularly Dynamic Personal Training, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The $4.2 million increase in Other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the improved performance of our media and events business and Life Time Work locations.
25
Center operations expenses. The $49.1 million increase in Center operations expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to operating costs related to our new and ramping centers as well as costs to support growth in memberships and in-center business revenue.
Rent expense. The $8.9 million increase in Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the timing of sale-leaseback transactions during the prior year, the timing of taking possession of other leased properties, as well as the recognition of a higher level of contingent rent expense, which is generally determined based on a percentage of center-specific revenue and/or other center-specific financial metrics over contractually specified levels.
General, administrative and marketing expenses. The $9.0 million increase in General, administrative and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the timing of share-based compensation and benefit-related expenses, increases in center support overhead to enhance and broaden our member services and experiences, information technology costs and costs attributable to the secondary offering of common stock completed in February 2025.
Depreciation and amortization expenses. The $5.0 million increase in Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to new center openings.
Other operating expense. The $1.7 million increase in Other operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to increased costs to support Other revenue growth.
Interest expense, net of interest income. The $12.3 million decrease in Interest expense, net of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by lower average levels of outstanding borrowings and a slightly lower interest rate during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Provision for income taxes. The $3.5 million decrease in provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the excess tax deduction associated with stock option exercises, partially offset by an increase in earnings before taxes. The effective tax rate was 7.8% and 28.5% for those same periods, respectively. The effective tax rate applied to our pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is lower than our statutory rate of 21% and is primarily due to the excess tax deduction associated with stock option exercises, partially offset by the state income tax provisions and deductibility limitations associated with executive compensation.
Net income. As a result of the factors described above, net income was $76.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $24.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our principal liquidity needs include the acquisition and development of new centers, lease requirements and debt service, investments in our business and technology and expenditures necessary to maintain and update or enhance our centers and associated equipment and member experiences. We have primarily satisfied our historical liquidity needs with cash flow from operations, drawing on the Revolving Credit Facility, construction reimbursements and through sale-leaseback transactions. Additionally, we benefit from our in-house architecture, design and construction expertise that allows us to create operationally efficient centers and control the pace of capital expenditures, including in determining when to begin construction on a new athletic country club.
As the opportunity arises or as our business needs require, we may seek to raise capital through additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that any such financing would be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Volatility in these markets, particularly in light of the higher interest rate environment, may increase costs associated with issuing debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to raise additional capital, to refinance existing debt and/or to react to changing economic and business conditions. In addition, it is possible that our ability to access the credit and capital markets could be limited at a time when we would like or need to do so.
As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and there were $30.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in total availability under our $650.0 million Revolving Credit Facility of $619.2
26
million. Total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2025 was $59.0 million, resulting in total cash and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility of $678.2 million.

Operating Activities
The $93.4 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily the result of increased business performance and profitability and timing of cash interest payments.
Investing Activities
Investing activities consist primarily of the acquisition and development of new centers, expenditures necessary to maintain and update or enhance our centers and associated equipment and investments in our business and technology. We fund the purchase of our property, centers and equipment through operating cash flows, proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions, construction reimbursements and draws on our Revolving Credit Facility.
The $16.9 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by a $14.3 million decrease in capital expenditures.

(2) Consist of general maintenance of existing centers.
(3) Consist of modernization of existing centers and technology.
The decrease in total capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the timing and type of new center construction activity and maintenance expenditures, slightly offset by higher modernization and technology expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2025 for center remodels, fitness floor reconfigurations and digital and artificial intelligence initiatives.
27
Financing Activities
The $67.6 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by higher net repayments under our Revolving Credit Facility, offset by lower payments of mortgage notes and higher proceeds from stock option exercises.
We believe we will generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our requirements and plans for cash in the short-term and long-term and expect to satisfy our short-term and long-term obligations through a combination of cash on hand, funds generated from operations, sale-leaseback transactions, the borrowing capacity available under our Revolving Credit Facility and additional debt and equity financing as needed.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business that include changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.
Interest rate risk
Our cash consists primarily of an interest-bearing account at a large United States bank with limited interest rate risk. At March 31, 2025, we held no investments in marketable securities.
We incur interest at variable rates under our Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $30.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in total revolver availability of $619.2 million, which was available at intervals ranging from 30 to 180 days at interest rates of SOFR plus 2.25% or base rate plus 1.25% (subject to one ratings-based step down of 0.25%).
Until April 8, 2025, our Term Loan Facility bore interest at a rate per annum of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.50% and had an outstanding balance of $997.5 million at March 31, 2025. Effective April 8, 2025, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for our entire Term Loan Facility notional amount of $997.5 million, which converted the variable interest rate of our Term Loan Facility to a fixed interest rate of 3.409%, plus the applicable margin of 2.50% (subject to one ratings-based step down of 0.25%).
Assuming no prepayments of the Term Loan Facility and that the Revolving Credit Facility is fully drawn, each one percentage point change in interest rates would result in an approximately $16.5 million change in annual interest expense on the indebtedness under the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2025.
Foreign currency exchange risk
We operate primarily in the United States with three centers operating in Canada. Given our limited operations outside of the United States, fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates would not have a material impact on our business.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
