Operating Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2026
For the second quarter of 2026, total revenue increased $24.3 million or 7.1% to $365.2 million from $340.9 million in the prior year period. By segment:
- Franchise segment revenue increased $16.1 million or 13.5% to $135.8 million from $119.7 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to a $10.1 million increase in National Advertising Fund (“NAF”) revenue from a 1% rate increase to NAF contributions from 2% to 3% for 2026. Royalty revenue also increased $4.7 million, of which $1.7 million was attributable to a franchise same club sales increase of 1.7%, $2.5 million was attributable to new clubs opened since April 1, 2025 before moving into the same club sales base and $0.5 million was from higher royalties on annual fees. Additionally, there was a $1.3 million increase in franchise and other fees.
- Corporate-owned clubs segment revenue increased $4.9 million or 3.5% to $143.9 million from $139.0 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to $5.0 million from new clubs opened since April 1, 2025 before moving into the same club sales base and $4.8 million from the corporate-owned clubs included in the same club sales base, including $3.0 million attributable to a same club sales increase of 1.7% and $1.6 million attributable to other fees. This increase was partially offset by $4.9 million of lower revenue attributable to the eight clubs located in California that the Company sold to a franchisee in August 2025.
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 $3.4 million or 4.1% to $85.6 million from $82.2 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to $1.7 million of higher revenue from equipment sales to new franchisee-owned clubs and $1.6 million of higher revenue from equipment sales to existing franchisee-owned clubs. In the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had equipment sales to 21 new franchisee-owned clubs compared to 19 in the same period last year.
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 $5.2 million or 6.1% to $91.7 million from $86.5 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to higher NAF and franchise revenue of $10.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively, as described above, partially offset by $10.1 million of higher NAF expense and $0.4 million of higher selling, general and administrative expense.
- Corporate-owned clubs Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.9 million or 1.6% to $57.5 million from $56.6 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to $1.6 million from clubs included in the same club sales base and $0.4 million of lower selling, general and administrative expenses primarily from the closure of the Company’s Florida Corporate Support Center in the prior year period, partially offset by $1.3 million of lower adjusted EBITDA attributable to the eight clubs located in California that the Company sold to a franchisee in August 2025.
- Equipment Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.1 million or 8.0% to $24.3 million from $26.4 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to the timing of replacement equipment discounts, partially offset by higher equipment sales to new and existing franchisee-owned clubs.
2026 Outlook
For the year ending December 31, 2026, the Company is reiterating the following expectations:
- System-wide same club sales growth of approximately 1%
- Revenue to increase approximately 7%
- Adjusted EBITDA to increase approximately 6%
- New equipment placements of approximately 150 to 160 in franchisee-owned locations
- System-wide new club openings of approximately 180 to 190 locations
- Capital expenditures to increase approximately 10% to 15%
- Depreciation and amortization to increase approximately 10%
The Company is also updating the following expectations:
- Adjusted net income per share, diluted to increase approximately 6% (previously approximately 4%), based on adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 77.0 million (previously approximately 79.0 million), inclusive of the shares repurchased through the second quarter of 2026
- Net interest expense to be approximately $115.0 million (previously approximately $111.0 million)
- Adjusted net income to decrease approximately 3% (previously approximately 2%)
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, 2026. 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, 2026, 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, 2026 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.

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.

Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA includes adjusted corporate overhead costs, such as payroll and related benefit costs and professional services that are not directly attributable to any individual segment and thus are unallocated.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA plus the Adjusted EBITDA of corporate and other is equal to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. Refer to “ - Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
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.
