Q&A highlights
Q: Congratulations on another nice quarter, nice year.
A: Thank you so much.
Q: What do you see the biggest opportunities as we go in '26?
A: Our business is always evolving. We are focused on modernizing, updating, evolving facilities, developing new formats, changing floors, working on cafes, spa, personal training, small group training, MIORA locations. Many things are working exceptionally well with members using clubs at high levels.
Q: Comment upon the initial performance of new centers opened later in '25 and presale activity for '26 openings?
A: Our clubs are opening stronger and ramping faster than ever. Some clubs reach contribution margin positive in first full month of operation. We are opening as many clubs as we can with an amazing pipeline of future locations.
Q: Give a little bit more detail on the unit economics of the new clubs you're opening this year. As we think about revenue per member trends as well as kind of member mix as we go into the back half of the year, do you expect any changes to the typical seasonality of the business in terms of quarter-to-quarter member growth?
A: New clubs don't have discounted programs, higher membership prices, fewer members but higher rack rate, more efficient model. Membership is expected to grow. No changes in expectations around seasonality other than more members using clubs more often.
Q: Remind us the rack rates you currently have and what's running through the system?
A: Our clubs are operating at optimal levels. We are raising membership prices club-by-club, market-by-market to protect customer experience. The delta between rack rate and what's running through the system is between 17 million to 20 million per month, currently 19.5 million.
Q: Thoughts on onetime initiatives in a handful of clubs and sustainability of DPT growth?
A: We have a robust plan for DPT this year. DPT is growing with some clubs having very high revenues and margins. There's opportunity to add team members and leaders in some markets.
Q: Expand on your comments around optimizing membership mix. What levers you have to pull? How should we think about the potential impact in '26 versus some of the out years here?
A: Opportunities include managing member experience, optimizing in clubs with high traffic, reducing discounted third-party pay memberships for a better member experience, improving revenue and EBITDA. The number of discounted third-party pay members will decrease with more direct membership activity.
Q: Trends you saw in January and year-to-date from new member churn and member engagement perspective? Did you see any impact from weather or any nuances that you'd call out from member behavior so far this year?
A: Inappropriate to answer mid-quarter questions.
Q: Are you seeing opportunities to increase conversion of digital members into full paying members or any other monetization opportunities from retail, Life Time Nutrition?
A: Digital subscriber number is ~3.3 million and growing. Focus is on using LAIC to enhance dues-paying member experience. Subscribers get access to similar app experiences but can't get into clubs. There are improvements in the strategy.
Q: Programming opportunities and in-center revenue, especially for kids' programs.
A: There's opportunity to engage parents and kids into more programs. We are fine-tuning to maximize space usage for various programs to grow in-center revenue.
Q: On the EBITDA margin. Approach is under promise, over deliver. What's broken positively for you? Confidence in margin floor and sustainability?
A: Clubs matured faster than expected. Majority of clubs are fully re-ramped. New clubs are ramping nicely. We have no desire to disappoint and are balancing member experience and shareholder interests. Margin is currently at 27.5% and we guide conservatively.
Q: Update on MIORA performance. How many clubs are operating, member adoption, visits, ramp throughout '26 and '27?
A: MIORA has 7 or 8 locations open. Opened in great markets and are ramping at expectations. Some had construction or permit issues but others are ramping faster than original models.
Q: How is LT Health performing, supplement business across both in club and digital channels? What to monitor for 2026?
A: Growth strategy for 2026 is mostly in clubs to improve club members' visibility to LTH. Digital space is mediocre and requires more education. Success is coming through professionals in clubs.
Q: Rack rate versus the average member dues. Strategically in longer term, is there a level for that delta you have in mind that the business should run at? Or should that delta converge over time? And on the '26 guidance on the same-store sales. How the composition of member growth versus pricing versus in-center growth contemplates into the guidance?
A: Analyzing club-by-club to set prices to maximize experience. Delta may shrink in future but not immediately. Membership growth will increase from 2025, revenue per membership will increase, with growth coming from membership count increase and in-center growth.
