📊 MIXED Planet Fitness Q1: +700k net members, 3.5% same-club sales, EBITDA up 19.5%
Revenue & Profitability
Q1 2026 total revenue was $337 million, up 22% year-over-year. Net income was $52 million; adjusted net income was $59 million ($0.74 per diluted share). Adjusted EBITDA grew 19.5% to $140 million, with a margin of 41.5%. System-wide same-club sales increased 3.5% (90% from rate growth, 10% from member growth). Black Card penetration rose to 67% (up 240 bps).
Outlook
Management sees long-term tailwinds as more people recognize the health benefits of movement; the Health & Fitness Association reported 5.4% industry membership growth in 2025. However, macroeconomic pressures and an uneven recovery are weighing on lower-income consumers. Weather disruptions and competitive impacts in the South Central and Southeast U.S. also affected Q1.
Growth Drivers
Key growth levers include new club openings (180–190 system-wide in 2026), driving member growth (over 700,000 net new members added in Q1), and same-club sales (targeting member growth as the majority driver). Black Card penetration improvement is also a growth contributor, though the national price increase has been paused to prioritize member acquisition.
Balance Sheet & CapEx
Capital expenditures are expected to be up 10–15% in 2026, with depreciation and amortization up approximately 10%. Investments include an AI-enabled predictive churn model (now in pilot), a dynamic content optimization engine for ad serving, and a modernized CRM engine. A new app is also being developed in tandem with these tools.
Margins
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 41.5% in Q1 (down from 42.3% a year ago). By segment: franchise margin 70.4% (down from 73.7%), corporate club margin 33.1% (down from 34.3%), and equipment margin 31.3% (up from 26.8%). Management expects equipment margin to be approximately 30% for the full year. SG&A was flat year-over-year at $34 million.
Key Risks
Risks flagged include: marketing messaging not resonating with the core beginner audience, higher-than-expected attrition (monthly churn averaged 3.8% in Q1, within historical range but elevated versus last year), weather disruptions, macroeconomic pressure on lower-income consumers, and competitive impacts in certain markets. The pause on Black Card pricing reflects the risk of further member growth headwinds.

Membership reached 20.8 million with 181 new clubs opened in 2025, driving 12% revenue and 13% adjusted EBITDA growth. 2026 guidance calls for 4%-5% same-club sales growth, 180-190 new clubs, and 9%-10% EPS growth, with continued investment in technology and marketing.

📊 Explore The Finmagine™ Methodology

A comprehensive, bias-free framework for analyzing and ranking stocks by Financial Strength, Growth Potential, Competitive Edge, Management Quality, and Value.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation
Fair Value = Σ(FCFt / (1+WACC)t) + Terminal Value. Terminal Value uses the Gordon Growth Model: FCF5 × (1+g) / (WACC−g). Default WACC: 10% (US risk-free ~4.5%, equity risk premium ~5.5%). Default terminal growth: 3% (long-run US nominal GDP proxy).

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.

Data Sources & Limitations
Financial statements sourced from public filings. Prices updated daily. Forward assumptions are AI-generated. All monetary values in USD millions. Non-US ADR companies may have currency conversion inaccuracies. Models are point-in-time and do not update intra-quarter or account for M&A, macro shocks, or extraordinary items.
