Rosanna McCollough, President and Chief Executive Officer of YogaWorks, stated, “We are pleased to have delivered third quarter results at the high end of our expectations, reflecting solid performance in our base business, with a minor contribution from the three studios acquired in the latter part of the third quarter. We have also made tremendous progress in our growth plan with the acquisition of an additional 13 studios in the fourth quarter to-date, bringing our total studio count to 66.  The addition of these studios has enabled us to increase our market share in the Washington, D.C. area and gain entry into the vibrant Houston and Atlanta markets.  These studios perfectly align with the YogaWorks mission to offer a variety of classes and high-quality teaching to empower students of all ages and abilities to lead healthier and less stressful lives.  We remain the acquirer of choice in our large and highly fragmented industry comprised of over 33,000 yoga and Pilates studios.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial measures called Adjusted EBITDA, Studio-Level EBITDA and Adjusted net loss which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these financial measures to understand and evaluate the business. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of the core business operations. Studio-Level EBITDA is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of the studios. Adjusted net loss is a supplemental measure of operating performance that is adjusted for certain non-recurring items that we do not believe directly reflect our core business operations. Accordingly, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, Studio-Level EBITDA and Adjusted net loss provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results in the same manner as management and the board of directors. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
