Here are the key takeaways from Xponential Fitness’ conference call:
- Q3 operating results weakened: same-studio sales fell 7.5% (5.6% at Club Pilates), North American systemwide sales declined 2%, revenue decreased 21% to $62.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA fell 27% to $24.3 million. Management cited softer studio performance, lower equipment installations, and merchandise-transition challenges.
- 2026 guidance was tightened: expected net new studio openings are now 124–130, and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $91–$94 million; North American systemwide sales and revenue outlooks were unchanged. Management attributed slower openings partly to tougher real-estate availability and said it is being more selective about sites.
- Management reported early signs of improvement from its marketing and technology initiatives. Since the new Club Pilates website launched, lead-form submissions and first-class appointment conversions have increased by a double-digit percentage, while lower cost per lead and stronger YogaSix member-tenure trends were also cited.
- International expansion and Club Pilates remain long-term growth priorities. The company ended the quarter with 3,185 studios, including 19 net international openings, and reiterated a goal of growing Club Pilates to more than 2,000 locations domestically within five years, while emphasizing disciplined development.
- The board’s strategic-alternatives review remains active and could include a sale, merger, or other transaction; the company said it would not comment further while the process is ongoing.
