Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Operations

Xponential Fitness, Inc. (the “Company” or “XPO Inc.”), was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 14, 2020 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (“IPO”) and entered into a series of transactions to implement an internal reorganization. Pursuant to a reorganization into a holding company structure, the Company is a holding company with its principal asset being an ownership interest in Xponential Fitness LLC (“XPO LLC”) through its ownership interest in Xponential Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“XPO Holdings”).

XPO LLC was formed on August 11, 2017 as a Delaware limited liability company for the sole purpose of franchising fitness brands in several verticals within the boutique fitness industry. XPO LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of XPO Holdings, which was formed on February 24, 2020, and prior to the IPO, ultimately, H&W Franchise Holdings, LLC (the “Parent”). Prior to the formation of XPO Holdings, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of H&W Franchise Intermediate Holdings, LLC (the “Member”).

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s portfolio ofnine brands consisted of: “Club Pilates,” a Pilates facility franchisor; “CycleBar,” a premier indoor cycling franchise; “StretchLab,” a fitness concept offering one-on-one assisted stretching services; “YogaSix,” a yoga concept that concentrates on connecting to one’s body in a way that is energizing; “AKT,” a dance-based cardio workout concept that combines toning, interval and circuit training; “Pure Barre,” a total body workout concept that uses the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements; “Rumble,” a boxing concept that offers boxing-inspired group fitness classes; “BFT,” a high-intensity interval training concept that combines functional, high-energy strength, cardio and conditioning-based classes, designed to achieve the unique health goals of its members; and “Lindora,” a provider of medically guided wellness and metabolic health solutions, which was acquired on January 2, 2024. The Company, through its boutique fitness brands, licenses its proprietary systems to franchisees who in turn operate studios to promote training and instruction programs to their club members within each vertical. Additionally, the Company, through its ownership of the Lindora brand, franchises clinics that provide medically guided wellness and metabolic health solutions to its members. In addition to franchised studios, the Company operatedone and 84 company-owned transition studios as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On February 13, 2024, the Company divested the Stride brand, including the intellectual property, franchise rights and franchise agreements for open studios. On May 20, 2024, the Company divested the Row House brand, including the intellectual property, franchise rights and franchise agreements for open studios. See Note 3 for additional information.

In connection with the IPO, XPO Inc. entered into a series of transactions to implement an internal reorganization, (the “Reorganization Transactions”). The pre-IPO members of XPO Holdings (the “Pre-IPO LLC Members”) who retained their equity ownership in the form of limited liability company units (the “LLC Units”), immediately following the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions are referred to as “Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members.”

Because XPO Inc. manages and operates the business and controls the strategic decisions and day-to-day operations of XPO LLC through its ownership of XPO Holdings and because it also has a substantial financial interest in XPO LLC through its ownership of XPO Holdings, it consolidates the financial results of XPO LLC and XPO Holdings, and a portion of its net income (loss) is allocated to the noncontrolling interest to reflect the entitlement of the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members to a portion of XPO Holdings’ net income or loss.

As the sole managing member of XPO LLC, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of XPO LLC. The Company consolidates XPO LLC on its condensed consolidated financial statements and records a noncontrolling interest related to the Class B units held by the Class B stockholders on its condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations.

Basis of presentation – The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the Company has made all adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.

On January 2, 2024, the Company acquired Lindora Franchise, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the franchisor of the Lindora wellness brand (the “Lindora Franchisor” or “Lindora”), and has included the results of operations of Lindora in its condensed consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date forward. See Note 3 for additional information.

Reclassifications– To conform with current year presentation, the Company has reclassified impairment charges of $7,238 from selling, general and administrative expenses to impairment of goodwill and other assets in the operating costs and expenses section of the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Principles of consolidation– The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates – The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Segment and geographic information – The Company operates inone reportable and operating segment. The Company generated $3,502 and $6,553 of revenue outside the United States during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $4,007 and $6,987 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have material assets located outside of the United States.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash– The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company has marketing fund restricted cash, which can only be used for activities that promote the Company’s brands. In July 2022, the Company issued a $750 standby letter of credit to a third-party financing company, who provides loans to the Company's qualified franchisees. The standby letter of credit is contingent upon the failure of franchisees to perform according to the terms of underlying contracts with the third party. The Company deposited cash in a restricted account as collateral for the standby letter of credit. In addition, the Company, as a guarantor, is required to recognize, at inception of the guaranty, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. See Note 16 for further discussion of such obligations guaranteed.

The Company's restricted cash consists of marketing fund restricted cash and guarantee of standby letter of credit. Restricted cash was $11,018 and $9,333 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Accounts receivable and allowance for expected credit losses – Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from franchisees and vendors. These receivables primarily relate to royalties, advertising contributions, equipment and product sales, training, vendor commissions and other miscellaneous charges. Receivables are unsecured; however, the franchise agreements provide the Company the right to withdraw funds from the franchisee’s bank account or to terminate the franchise for nonpayment. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable balance and establishes an allowance for expected credit losses based on a number of factors, including evidence of the franchisee’s ability to comply with credit terms, economic conditions and historical receivables. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

The Company’s accounts and notes receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an appropriate allowance for expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses is based upon historical bad debts, current receivable balances, age of receivable balances, the customer’s financial condition and current economic trends, all of which are subject to change. Actual uncollected amounts have historically been consistent with the Company’s expectations. The Company’s payment terms on its receivables from franchisees are generally 30 days.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s accounts receivable and notes receivable allowance for credit losses:

Total other current liabilities$20,235$19,666

Comprehensive income– The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within the consolidated financial statements and therefore does not separately present a consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair value measurements – Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis and requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosures of the inputs to valuations used to measure fair value.

This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates and yield curves), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs would be based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short maturities, proximity of issuance to the balance sheet date or variable interest rate.

Redeemable convertible preferred stock– The redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Convertible Preferred”) becomes redeemable at the option of the holder as of a specific date unless an event that is not probable of occurring happens before that date. Therefore, the Company determined that it is probable that the Convertible Preferred will become redeemable based on the passage of time. The Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.

Noncontrolling interests– Noncontrolling interests represent the economic interests of XPO LLC held by Class B common stockholders. Income or loss is attributed to the noncontrolling interests based on the weighted average LLC interests outstanding during the period. The noncontrolling interests' ownership percentage can fluctuate over time as the Class B common stockholders may elect to exchange their shares of Class B common stock for Class A common stock.

Earnings (loss) per share – Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Class A common stockholders by the number of weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the basic earnings per share calculation for the potential dilutive impact of common shares such as equity awards using the treasury-stock method. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potentially dilutive common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Shares of Class B common stock are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock; however, in loss periods related amounts are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock because the effect would be anti-dilutive under the if-converted and two-class methods. For further discussion, see Note 15.

Income taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities (“DTAs” and “DTLs”) for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines DTAs and DTLs on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes DTAs to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize DTAs in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the DTA valuation allowance would be made, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which the Company a) determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and b) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties, if any, related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements – The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company, the JOBS Act permits the Company an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period.

Segment Reporting – In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes Disclosures – In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Profit Interest Awards – In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards.” ASU 2024-01 clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of ASC 718 or not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. ASU 2024-01 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company completed the following acquisitions and dispositions which contain Level 3 fair value measurements related to the recognition of goodwill and intangibles.

Studios -On June 5, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement ("APA") to purchase 14 studios to operate as company-owned transition studios from the original founder sellers of the Rumble brand, which was acquired by the Company in 2021 (the“Rumble Sellers”) and were franchisees and shareholders of the Company. This acquisition was expected to enhance the operational performance of the 14 Rumble studios as the Company prepares them to be licensed to new franchisees. The transaction was accounted foras a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the assets acquired to be recorded at their respective fair value as of the date of the transaction. The Company also entered into a mutual termination agreement with the Rumble Sellers to terminate their existing franchise agreements, resulting in cash received and a gain of $3,500, which is included within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Under the APA, consideration for the acquisition included $1, which was recorded as a reduction to receivable from shareholder. The Company also agreed to assume liabilities aggregating $1,450, which is expected to be reimbursed to the Company upon the sale of XPO Inc. common stock owned by the Rumble Sellers. In connection with the transaction, the Company wrote down intangible assets related to franchise agreements, net of reacquired franchise rights, in the amount of $7,238. The Company determined the estimated fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed after review and consideration of relevant information as of the acquisition date. The fair values were based on management's estimates and assumptions, which included Level 3 unobservable inputs, and were determined using generally accepted valuation techniques.

The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based on the purchase price allocation:

Amount
Accounts receivable$154
Inventories98
Property and equipment1,113
Right-of-use assets42,016
Goodwill4,133
Deferred revenue(3,269)
Lease liabilities(44,244)
Reduction to receivable from shareholder$1

The resulting goodwill is primarily attributable to synergies from the integration of studios, increased expansion for market opportunities and the expansion of studio membership and is expected to be tax deductible.

The fair value of the property and equipment was based on the replacement cost method. The fair value of the right of use assets was determined using the income approach. The deferred revenue represents prepaid classes and class packages. The Company will recognize revenue over time as the members attend and utilize the classes.

The fair value of the reacquired franchise rights after termination of the existing franchise agreements was based on the excess earnings method and is considered to have an eight-year life. The acquisition was not material to the results of operations of the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with a franchisee under which the Company repurchasedone studio to operate as a company-owned transition studio. The purchase price for the acquisition was $164, less $8 of net deferred revenue and deferred costs resulting in total purchase consideration of $156. The following summarizes the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Amount
Property and equipment$19
Reacquired franchise rights137
Total purchase price$156

The fair value of reacquired franchise rights was based on the excess earnings method and is considered to have an approximatesix-year life. The acquisition was not material to the results of operations of the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company refranchised operations at 10 and 34 company-owned transition studios, respectively, receivedno proceeds in either period, and recorded a net loss of $122 and $148 on disposal of the studio assets, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company also ceased operations at 11 andone company-owned transition studios, respectively. The Company refranchised or closed company-owned transition studios under its restructuring plan that started in the third quarter of 2023. See Note 17 for further discussion of the Company's restructuring plan.

On December 31, 2023, the Company entered into agreements to sell six Rumble company-owned transition studios (the “Rumble Held for Sale Studios”). These agreements triggered the reclassification of Rumble Held for Sale Studios to assets held for sale. Based on the expected net sales proceeds the Company determined the Rumble Held for Sale Studios to be fully impaired and recognized an impairment of $2,190, within impairment of goodwill and other assets, for studio assets during the year ended December 31, 2023, consisting of property and equipment of $985 and reacquired franchise assets of $1,205. The sale was completed during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

When the Company believes that a studio will be refranchised for a price less than its carrying value but does not believe the studio has met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company reviews the studio for impairment. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the studio assets by comparing estimated sales proceeds plus holding period cash flows, if any, to the carrying value of the studio. For studio assets that are not deemed to be recoverable, the Company recognizes impairment for any excess of carrying value over the fair value of the studios, which is based on the expected net sales proceeds. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company didnot record any impairment charges related to studio assets.

Xponential Procurement Services Acquisition -On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement whereby the Company acquired 100% of the membership rights in Xponential Procurement Services, LLC (“XPS”) from the XPS seller. The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisition was $9,930. The purchase price consisted of cash consideration of $3,467 anda promissory note with a fair value of $6,463 payable in two equal installments due on July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025. The current portion of the promissory note is included in other current liabilities and the non-current portion is included in other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

XPS specializes in the custom manufacturing of display cases, engraved wood signs, point of sale displays, custom acrylic panels, and other products. The acquisition contributes to the Company’s vertical integration of its product offerings to its franchisees.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the assets acquired to be recorded at their respective fair value as of the date of the transaction. The Company determined the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information as of the acquisition date, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired are based on management's estimates and assumptions. The acquisition was not material to the results of operations of the Company.

The following summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based on the purchase price allocation:

Amount
Inventory$237
Property and equipment10
Goodwill8,507
Intellectual property671
Other intangible assets560
Total assets acquired9,985
Accounts payable and accrued expenses55
Net assets acquired$9,930

The goodwill recognized in this acquisition was attributable to the synergies that the Company expects to achieve. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized from this acquisition are expected to be tax deductible.

Lindora Acquisition -On December 1, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Lindora Franchise, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the franchisor of the “Lindora” wellness brand (the “Lindora Franchisor”), for cash consideration of $8,500. The transaction also includes up to $1,000 of contingent consideration which is subject to the achievement of certain milestones. Payment of additional consideration is contingent on Lindora reaching two milestones based on a certain gross sales target and the number of operating clinics during the 15-month and 24-month period following the acquisition date, respectively. At the acquisition date, the Company determined that the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration liability was $446. The Lindora Franchisor was a subsidiary of Lindora Wellness, Inc. (“Lindora Wellness”). Lindora Wellness has owned and operated each of the Lindora clinics in California for at least 25 years and currently owns and operates 30 Lindora clinics in California and a single Lindora clinic in the state of Washington. Immediately prior to the execution of the purchase agreement on December 1, 2023, Lindora Wellness signed 31 franchise agreements with the Lindora Franchisor pursuant to which Lindora Wellness will continue to operate its Lindora clinics as a franchisee of the Lindora Franchisor. The acquisition of the Lindora Franchisor was completed on January 2, 2024. The acquisition of Lindora complements the Company's existing brands and will help the Company deliver on consumers’ increasing demand for a holistic approach to health.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the assets acquired to be recorded at their respective fair value as of the date of the transaction. The Company determined the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information as of the acquisition date, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The fair values assigned to intangible assets acquired are based on management's estimates and assumptions. The acquisition was not material to the results of operations of the Company.

The following summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based on the purchase price allocation:

Amount
Trademarks$2,700
Franchise agreements3,900
Goodwill2,346
Total assets acquired$8,946

The goodwill recognized in this acquisition was attributable to the synergies that the Company expects to achieve. The fair values, which are Level 3 measurements, of the recognizable intangible assets are comprised of trademarks and franchise agreements. The fair value of the trademarks was estimated by the relief from royalty method and are considered to have aneleven-year life. The fair value of the franchise agreements was based on the excess earnings method and are considered to have aten-year life. Inputs used in the methodologies primarily included sales forecasts, projected future cash flows, royalty rate and discount rate commensurate with the risk involved. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized from this acquisition are expected to be tax deductible.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $100 and $528, respectively, of transaction costs related to acquisitions, which is included in acquisition and transaction expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The company didnot incur any transaction costs related to acquisitions during thethree and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Pro forma financial information and revenue from the date of acquisition have not been provided for these acquisitions as they are not material either individually or in the aggregate.

Divestiture of Stride brand -On February 13, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which the Company divested the Stride brand, including the intellectual property, franchise rights and franchise agreements for open studios. The buyer of the Stride brand is a member of management and shareholder of the Company. The Company received no consideration from the divestiture of the Stride brand and will assist the buyer with transition support including cash payments of approximately $265 payable over the 12-month period following divestiture. The divestiture allows the Company to better focus and utilize its resources on its other brands. The Company recognized a loss on divestiture of $279, which was included within selling, general and administration expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The divested brand did not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, and, as such, it was not presented as discontinued operations.

Divestiture of Row House brand -On May 20, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which the Company divested the Row House brand, including the intellectual property, franchise rights and franchise agreements for open studios, and retained certain liabilities, including liabilities related to known litigation, pre-litigation, and disputes as of the closing of the divestiture. The Company received no consideration from the divestiture of the Row House brand. The divestiture allows the Company to better focus and utilize its resources on its other brands. The Company recognized a loss on divestiture of $922, which was included within selling, general and administration expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The divested brand did not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, and, as such, it was not presented as discontinued operations.

Note 4 – Contract Liabilities and Costs from Contracts with Customers

Contract liabilities – Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue resulting from franchise fees, development fees and master franchise fees paid by franchisees, which are recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the franchise agreement term. The Company also receives upfront payments from vendors under agreements that give the vendors access to franchisees’ members to provide certain services to the members (“brand fees”). Revenue from the upfront payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the agreement term and is reported in other service revenue. Also included in the deferred revenue balance are non-refundable prepayments for merchandise and equipment, as well as revenues for training, service revenue and on-demand fees for which the associated products or services have not yet been provided to the customer. The Company classifies these contract liabilities as either current deferred revenue or non-current deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the anticipated timing ofdelivery. The following table reflects the change in franchise development and brand fee contract liabilities for thesix months ended June 30, 2024. Other deferred revenue amounts of $18,188 are excluded from the table as the original expected duration of the contracts isone year or less.

The following table illustrates estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of June 30, 2024. The expected future recognition period for deferred franchise development fees related to unopened studios is based on management’s best estimate of the beginning of the franchise license term for those studios. The Company elected to not disclose short term contracts, sales and usage-based royalties, marketing fees and any other variable consideration recognized on an “as invoiced” basis.

Current portion of deferred revenue$29,343$34,674

Contract costs – Contract costs consist of deferred commissions resulting from franchise and area development sales by third-party and affiliate brokers and sales personnel. The total commission is deferred at the point of a franchise sale. The commissions are evenly split among the number of studios purchased under the development agreement and begin to be amortized when a subsequent franchise agreement is executed. The commissions are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initialten-year franchise agreement term to align with the recognition of the franchise agreement or area development fees. The Company classifies these deferred contract costs as either current deferred costs or non-current deferred costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The associated expense is classified within costs of franchise and service revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were approximately $3,974 and $4,126 of current deferred costs and approximately $42,772 and $46,221 in non-current deferred costs, respectively. The Company recognized franchise sales commission expense of approximately $3,292 and

$6,137 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $1,746 and $3,781 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Note 5 – Notes Receivable

The Company previously provided unsecured advances or extended financing related to the purchase of the Company’s equipment or franchise fees to various franchisees. These arrangements have terms of up to 18 months with interest typically based on LIBOR plus 700 basis points with an initial interest free period. The Company accrues the interest as an addition to the principal balance as the interest is earned. Activity related to these arrangements is presented within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company has also provided loans for the establishment of new or transferred franchise studios to various franchisees. These loans have terms of up toten years and bear interest at a stated fixed rate ranging from 0% to 15% orvariable rates based on LIBOR plus a specified margin. The Company accrues interest as an addition to the principal balance as the interest is earned. Activity related to these loans is presented within investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the principal balance of the notes receivable was approximately $2,760 and $3,189, respectively. The Company evaluates loans for collectability upon issuance of the loan and records interest only if the loan is deemed collectable. To the extent a loan becomes past due, the Company ceases the recording of interest in the period that a reserve on the loan is established. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its notes receivable balance and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a number of factors, including evidence of the franchisee’s ability to comply with the terms of the notes, economic conditions and historical collections. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Note 7 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired related to the original purchase of the various franchise businesses and acquisition of company-owned transition studios. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there was an increase of $2,346 in previously reported goodwill due to the acquisition of Lindora as discussed in Note 3. The carrying value of goodwill at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, totaled $163,036 and $171,601, respectively. Cumulative goodwill impairment was $21,024 and $10,113 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The impairment charges are included within impairment of goodwill and other assets in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Duringthe quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company determined it was necessary to re-evaluate goodwill of the CycleBar reporting unit for impairment due to indicators of potential impairment resulting from a decline in forecasted and actual cash flows.

Therefore, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of the fair value of the reporting unit using an income approach with assumptions that are considered Level 3 inputs and concluded that the carrying value of the CycleBar reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment of $10,911 andno goodwill remaining for the CycleBar reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined by discounting estimated future cash flows, which were calculated based on revenue and expense long-term growth assumptions ranging from (1.0%) to 3.0%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) of 16.0%. In addition, the Company determined that the franchise agreements intangible assets related to CycleBar were also impaired and recognized animpairment loss of $1,178 in the second quarter of 2024.

Note 8 – Debt

On April 19, 2021, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), which consists of a $212,000 senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”, and the loans thereunder, each a “Term Loan” and, together, the “Term Loans”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by XPO Holdings and certain of the Company’s material subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of XPO Holdings and certain of the Company’s material subsidiaries.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make: (i) monthly payments of interest on the Term Loans and (ii) quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a per annum rate of, at the Company’s option, either (a) the term secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) plus a Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the Credit Agreement per the fifth amendment), plus a margin of 6.50% or (b) the Reference Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 5.50%(12.11% at June 30, 2024).

The Credit Agreement also contains mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans with: (i)50% of XPO Holdings’ and its subsidiaries’ Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain exceptions; (ii)100% of the net proceeds of certain asset sales and insurance/condemnation events, subject to reinvestment rights and certain other exceptions; (iii)100% of the net proceeds of certain extraordinary receipts, subject to reinvestment rights and certain other exceptions; (iv)100% of the net proceeds of any incurrence of debt, excluding certain permitted debt issuances; and (v) up to $60,000 of net proceeds in connection with an initial public offering of at least $200,000, subject to certain exceptions.

Unless agreed in advance, all voluntary prepayments and certain mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan made: (i) on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date are subject to a 2.0% premium on the principal amount of such prepayment and (ii) after the first anniversary of the closing date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the closing date are subject to a 0.50% premium on the principal amount of such prepayment. Otherwise, the Term Loans may be paid without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to SOFR Term Loans.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things: (i) to maintain certain total leverage ratios, liquidity levels and EBITDA levels; (ii) to use the proceeds of borrowings only for certain specified purposes; (iii) to refrain from entering into certain agreements outside of the ordinary course of business, including with respect to consolidation or mergers; (iv) restricting further indebtedness or liens; (v) restricting certain transactions with affiliates; (vi) restricting investments; (vii) restricting prepayments of subordinated indebtedness; (viii) restricting certain payments, including certain payments to affiliates or equity holders and distributions to equity holders; and (ix) restricting the issuance of equity. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, which could result in acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Agreement. Such events of default include, subject to the grace periods specified therein, failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to satisfy or comply with covenants, a change of control, the imposition of certain judgments and the invalidation of liens the Company has granted.

On January 9, 2023, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, the Company wrote off a pro rata portion of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loans aggregating $265, which was included in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

On February 13, 2024, the Company entered into a sixth amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Sixth Amendment provides for, among other things, additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $38,701, with an original issue discount of $4,059, (the “Sixth Amendment Incremental Term Loans”), the original issue discount was paid-in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Sixth Amendment were used to repay an aggregate of $38,701 in existing term loans under the Credit Agreement and for the payment of fees, costs and expenses related to the making of the Sixth Amendment Incremental Term Loans. The Sixth Amendment, among other things, also: (i) increased the amount of the quarterly principal payments of the loans provided pursuant to the Credit Agreement (including the Sixth Amendment Incremental Term Loans) commencing on June 30, 2024 to $1,287 and (ii) extended the maturity date for all outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement to March 15, 2026.

In connection with the Sixth Amendment, the Company wrote off a pro rata portion of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loans of $23 and wrote off original issue discount of $452 related to the repayment of a portion of the Term Loans, which were included in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $269 and $115 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Debt issuance cost amortization and write off amounted to $52 and $124 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $14 and $297 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2024 and

December 31, 2023, were $363 and $218, respectively, and are presented as a reduction to long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized original issue discount as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $6,137 and $4,279, respectively, and is presented as a reduction to long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Principal payments on outstanding balances of long-term debt as of June 30, 2024 were as follows:

Amount
Remainder of 2024$2,573
20255,147
2026322,381
Total$330,101

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to the variable interest rate, which is a Level 2 input.

Note 9 – Leases

The Company leases office space, company-owned transition studios, warehouse, training centers and a video recording studio. Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. When deemed reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal options are included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligation, respectively. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily determinable, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease contract in determining the present value of lease payments. If the implicit rate is not provided, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Currently, it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options and therefore, the Company utilized the initial, noncancelable, lease term to calculate the lease assets and corresponding liabilities for all leases. The Company has certain insignificant short-term leases with an initial term of twelve months or less that are not recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company applied the practical expedient as an accounting policy for classes of underlying assets that have fixed payments for non-lease components, to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for them together as a single lease component, which increases the amount of lease assets and corresponding liabilities.

ROU assets from operating leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ASC 360 requires three steps to identify, recognize and measure impairment. If indicators of impairment are present (Step 1), the Company performs a recoverability test (Step 2) comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the ROU asset in question to the carrying amount. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the recoverability test are less than the carrying amount, the Company estimates the fair value of the ROU asset and recognizes an impairment loss when the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value (Step 3). When determining the fair value of the ROU asset, the Company estimated what market participants would pay to lease the assets assuming the highest and best use in the assets' current forms. There wereno ROU asset impairment charges during thethree and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note 10 – Related Party Transactions

The Company had numerous transactions with the pre-IPO Member and pre-IPO Parent and its affiliates. The significant related party transactions consisted of borrowings from and payments to the Member and other related parties that were under common control of the Parent.

In March 2021, the Company recorded a distribution to the Parent of $10,600, which the Parent used to fund a note payable under a debt financing obligation in connection with the acquisition of Rumble.

As of June 30, 2024, the former owner of Row House borrowed $410, which was recorded as a reduction to liability.

In March 2023, Spartan Fitness Holdings, LLC (“Spartan Fitness”), which currently owns and operates 86 Club Pilates studios, entered into a unit purchase agreement with Snapdragon Spartan Investco LP (the “Spartan SPV”), a special purpose vehicle controlled and managed by a member of the Company’s board of directors, pursuant to which Spartan SPV agreed to invest in the equity of Spartan Fitness. In addition, the same member of the Company’s board of directors also invested as a limited partner in the Spartan SPV.

Note 11 – Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On July 23, 2021, the Company issued and sold in a private placement 200 newly issued shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Convertible Preferred”), for aggregate cash proceeds of $200,000, before deduction for offering costs. Holders of shares of Convertible Preferred are entitled to quarterly coupon payments at the rate of 6.50% of the fixed liquidation preference per share, initially $1,000 per share. In the event the quarterly preferential coupon is not paid in cash, the fixed liquidation preference automatically increases at the Paid-in-Kind rate of 7.50%. The Convertible Preferred has an initial conversion price equal to $14.40 per share, is mandatorily convertible in certain circumstances, and is redeemable at the option of the holder beginning on the date that iseight years from the IPO or upon change of control.

At issuance, the Company assessed the Convertible Preferred for any embedded derivatives. The Company determined that the Convertible Preferred represented an equity host under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company’s analysis was based on consideration of all stated and implied substantive terms and features of the hybrid financial instrument and weighing those terms and features on the basis of the relevant facts and circumstances. Certain embedded features in the Convertible Preferred require bifurcation. However, the fair value of such embedded features was immaterial upon issuance and as of June 30, 2024.

The Convertible Preferred ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. It is entitled to receive any dividends or distributions paid in respect of the common stock on an as-converted basis and has no stated maturity and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless converted into common stock or repurchased by the Company. Series A preferred stock will vote on an as-converted basis with the Class A and Class B common stock and will have certain rights to appoint additional directors, including up to a majority of the Company’s board of directors, under certain limited circumstances relating to an event of default or the Company’s failure to repay amounts due to the Convertible Preferred holders upon a redemption. Shares of Series A-1 preferred stock are non-voting; however, any shares of Series A-1 preferred stock issued to any of the lenders party to the Credit Agreement will convert on a one-to-one basis to shares of Series A preferred stock when permitted under relevant antitrust restrictions.

At any time after July 23, 2029, upon a sale of the Company, or at any time after the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, holders of the Convertible Preferred have the right to require the Company to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Preferred shares then outstanding at a redemption price in cash equal to the greater of (i) the fair market value per share of Preferred Stock (based on the average volume-weighted average price per share of Class A common stock for the 10 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the redemption notice), and (ii) the fixed liquidation preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The Convertible Preferred is recorded as mezzanine equity (temporary equity) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets because it is not mandatorily redeemable but does contain a redemption feature at the option of the Preferred holders that is considered not solely within the Company’s control.

On January 9, 2023, pursuant to a preferred stock repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) between the Company and certain holders of the Convertible Preferred, the Company repurchased 85 shares of Convertible Preferred for an aggregate payment of $130,766. The excess of fair market value of $12,679 over the consideration transferred was treated as deemed contribution and resulted in a decrease to accumulated deficit and was included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company elected the paid-in-kind option for the Convertible Preferred quarterly preferential coupon resulting in an increase in the fixed liquidation preference of $2,150, which was recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in-capital and was included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized the preferred maximum redemption value of $122,903 and $114,660, respectively, which is the maximum redemption value on the earliest redemption date based on fair market value per share of Convertible Preferred (based on the average volume-weighted average price per share of Class A common stock for the 10 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the redemption notice and 115 outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023). The recording of the preferred maximum redemption value was treated as deemed dividend, which was included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share and resulted in a net decrease of $6,094 and $17,109 to additional paid-in-capital for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 12 – Stockholder's Equity (Deficit)

Common stock – In February 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with certain existing stockholders, affiliates of H&W Investco and our former Chief Executive Officer (collectively the “Selling Stockholders”) and certain underwriters named therein, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders sold an aggregate of 5,000 shares of Class A common stock in a secondary public offering at a public offering price of $24.50 per share. All of the shares sold in this offering were offered by the Selling Stockholders. In addition, the Selling Stockholders granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, which was fully exercised on February 15, 2023. The shares sold in the offering consisted of (i)2,276 existing shares of Class A common stock and (ii)3,474 newly-issued shares of Class A common stock issued in connection with the exchange of LLC units held by the Selling Stockholders. Simultaneously,3,474 shares of Class B common stock were surrendered by the Selling Stockholders and canceled. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A common stock offered by the Selling Stockholders. Additionally, during thethree and six months ended June 30, 2024, pursuant to the Amended Limited Liability Company Agreement of XPO Holdings (“Amended LLC Agreement”), certain Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members exchanged their LLC units for 398 and 476 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 certain Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members exchanged their LLC units for 141 and 1,593 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, respectively.

Noncontrolling interests – Following the IPO, XPO Inc. is the sole managing member of XPO LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of XPO LLC. The Company reported noncontrolling interests representing the economic interests in XPO LLC held by the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members. Under the Amended LLC agreement, the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members are able to exchange their LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (simultaneously cancelling an equal number of shares of Class B common stock of the exchanging member), or at the option of the Company for cash. In December 2021, the Company and the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members amended the LLC agreement of XPO Holdings, removing the redemption option in cash, except to the extent that the cash proceeds to be used to make the redemption in cash are immediately available and were directly raised from a secondary offering of the Company's equity securities. Future redemptions or exchanges of LLC Units by the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as noncontrolling interest and increase additional paid-in capital.

During 2024 and 2023, the Company experienced a change in noncontrolling interests ownership due to the conversion of Class B to Class A shares and as such, has rebalanced the related noncontrolling interests balance. The Company calculated the rebalancing based on the net assets of XPO LLC, after considering the preferred shareholders' claim on the net assets of XPO LLC. The Company used the liquidation value of the preferred shares for such rebalancing.

The following table summarizes the ownership of XPO LLC as of June 30, 2024:

OwnerUnits OwnedOwnership percentage
XPO Inc.32,16066.7%
Noncontrolling interests16,09033.3%
Total48,250100.0%

Note 13 – Equity Compensation

Profit interest units –Under the pre-IPO plan, the Parent granted profit interest units to certain key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsequent to the IPO, the profit interest units converted to Class B shares. Stock-based compensation related to profit interest units increases noncontrolling interests.

The fair value of the time-based grants was recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period (generally four years) and was calculated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $1 of unrecognized compensation expense. The unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.11 years for the time-based grants.

Liability classified restricted stock units– In November 2021, the Company granted RSU awards with performance conditions of meeting certain EBITDA targets through the year ending December 31, 2024. The awards were granted with fixed dollar valuation and the number of shares granted depends on the trading price at the closing date of the period in which the EBITDA target is met. As such, these awards are classified as a liability. Management performs a regular assessment to determine the likelihood of meeting the targets and adjusts the expense recognized if necessary. During the first quarter of 2023, the performance condition of an award with a total fixed dollar value of $2,250 was met and 101 units were earned and issued as shares. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company determined that it is no longer probable that the EBITDA targets will be achieved for the remaining RSU awards granted in November 2021. Accordingly, the Company reversed all previously recognized stock-based compensation expense related to these awards.

Equity classified restricted stock units–The following table summarizes activity for RSUs (including performance-based) for thesix months ended June 30, 2024:

SharesWeighted AverageGrant Date FairValue per Share
Outstanding at December 31, 20231,587$18.27
Issued2,124$13.19
Vested(779)$17.15
Forfeited, expired, or canceled(213)$19.20
Outstanding at June 30, 20242,719$15.08

RSUs are valued at the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant, and generally vest over aone- tofour-year period. Compensation expense for RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis.

During 2023,36 performance-based RSUs were earned and issued as shares andseven performance-based RSUs were cancelled or forfeited. During thesix months ended June 30, 2024,34 performance-based RSUs were earned and issued as shares and 11 performance-based RSUs were forfeited. During 2024, the Company granted 390 performance-based RSUs, of which 228 contained performance conditions and 162 contained market conditions, with weighted average grant-date fair values of $11.92 and $12.54, respectively. To estimate the fair value of performance-based awards containing a market condition, the Company uses the Monte Carlo valuation model. For other share-based awards, the fair value is generally based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2024, the achievement of remaining performance metrics for performance-based RSUs containing performance conditions is considered probable.

Stock-based compensation expense–Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:

Three months ended June 30,
20242023
Selling, general and administrative$4,196$6,055
Total stock-based compensation expense, before tax4,1966,055
Income tax benefit (expense)(136)120
Total stock-based compensation expense, after tax$4,332$5,935
Six months ended June 30,
20242023
Selling, general and administrative$8,138$12,111
Total stock-based compensation expense, before tax8,13812,111
Income tax benefit-838
Total stock-based compensation expense, after tax$8,138$11,273

Income tax benefit (expense) relates to vested RSUs. Due to the Company's full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets, there is no income tax benefit on the unvested RSUs. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $36,400 of total unamortized compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.32 years.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company reversed $689 of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense related to its 2024 annual bonus plan as it was deemed no longer probable the Company would achieve certain performance metrics.

Note 14 – Income Taxes

Income taxes - The Company is the managing member of XPO Holdings and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of XPO Holdings in the condensed consolidated financial statements. XPO Holdings is a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes following a corporate reorganization effected in connection with the IPO. As an entity classified as a partnership for tax purposes, XPO Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by XPO Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company. The Company is taxed as a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes with respect to income allocated from XPO Holdings, based on its 66.7% economic interest in XPO Holdings.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax computed by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to income (loss) before income taxes due to XPO Holdings’ pass-through structure for U.S. income tax purposes, state taxes, preferred stock dividends, non-deductible expenses, change in fair value of contingent consideration and the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The effective tax rate for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2024, is (1.0)% and (0.5)%, respectively, and 0.5% and 0.1% for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense of $132 and $85, respectively, on its share of pre-tax book income (loss), exclusive of the noncontrolling interest of 33.3%. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized income tax expense of $133 and $10, respectively, on its share of pre-tax book income, exclusive of the noncontrolling interest of 33.3%.

As of June 30, 2024, management determined based on applicable accounting standards and the weight of all available evidence, it was not more likely than not (“MLTN”) that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets including the difference in tax basis in excess of the financial reporting value for its investment in XPO Holdings. Consequently, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024. In the event that management subsequently determines that it is MLTN that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets in the future over the recorded amount, a decrease to the valuation allowance will be made, which will reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and many state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in federal, state or other jurisdictions. The

Company’stax returns remain open for examination in the U.S. for years 2019 through 2023. The Company's foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to examination four years following the year in which the tax obligation originated. The years subject to audit may be extended if the entity substantially understates corporate income tax.

The Company does not expect a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.

Tax receivable agreement – In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”)pursuant to which the Company is generally required to pay to the other parties thereto in the aggregate 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes as a result of: (i) certain favorable tax attributes acquired from Rumble Holdings LLC and H&W Investco Blocker II, LP (the “Blocker Companies”) in the mergers of the Blocker Companies with and into XPO Inc. (including net operating losses and the Blocker Companies’ allocable share of existing tax basis); (ii) increases in the Company's allocable share of existing tax basis and tax basis adjustments that resulted or may result from (x) the IPO Contribution and the Class A-5 Unit Redemption, (y) future taxable redemptions and exchanges of LLC Units by Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members and (z) certain payments made under the TRA; and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the TRA (the “TRA Payments”). The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits that it may actually realize. The TRA Payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in XPO Holdings or the Company. To the extent that the Company is unable to timely make payments under the TRA for any reason, such payments generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.

The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates each year and the tax rate then applicable. The Company calculates the liability under the TRA using a complex TRA model, which includes an assumption related to the fair market value of assets. The payment obligations under the TRA are obligations of XPO Inc. and not of XPO Holdings. Payments are generally due under the TRA within a specified period of time following the filing of the Company’s tax return for the taxable year with respect to which the payment obligation arises, although interest on such payments will begin to accrue at a rate of LIBOR (or a replacement rate)plus 100 basis points from the due date (without extensions) of such tax return.

The TRA provides that if (i) there is a material breach of any material obligations under the TRA; or (ii) the Company elects an early termination of the TRA, then the TRA will terminate and the Company's obligations, or the Company's successor’s obligations, under the TRA will accelerate and become due and payable, based on certain assumptions, including an assumption that the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize all potential future tax benefits that are subject to the TRA and that any LLC Units that have not been exchanged are deemed exchanged for the fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock at the time of termination. The TRA also provides that, upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combination, or certain other changes of control, the TRA will not terminate but the Company’s or the Company’s successor’s obligations with respect to tax benefits would be based on certain assumptions, including that the Company or the Company’s successor would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the increased tax deductions and tax basis and other benefits covered by the TRA.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company has concluded, based on applicable accounting standards, that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets subject to the TRA would not be realized. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a liability related to the tax savings it may realize from utilization of such deferred tax assets. Except for $3,686 and $780 of the current and non-current portions of the TRA, respectively, $78,182 of the TRA liability was not recorded as of June 30, 2024. If utilization of the deferred tax asset subject to the TRA becomes more likely than not in the future, the Company will record a liability related to the TRA which will be recognized as expense within its consolidated statements of operations.

Note 15 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share has been calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Class A common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock has been computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to XPO Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

Because a portion of XPO Holdings is owned by parties other than the Company, those parties participate in earnings and losses at the XPO Holdings level. Additionally, given the organizational structure of XPO Inc., a parallel capital structure exists at XPO Holdings such that the shares of XPO Holdings are redeemable on a one-to-one basis with the XPO Inc. shares. In order to maintain the one-to-one ratio, the preferred stock issued at the XPO Inc. level also exists at the XPO Holdings level. The Company applies the two-class method to allocate undistributed earnings or losses of XPO Holdings, and in doing so, determines the portion of XPO Holdings’

income or loss that is attributable to the Company and accordingly reflected in income or loss available to common stockholders in the Company’s calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share.

Due to the attribution of only a portion of the preferred stock dividends issued by XPO Holdings to the Company in first determining basic earnings (loss) per share at the subsidiary level, the amounts presented as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and net income (loss) attributable to XPO Inc. presented below will not agree to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts the basic earnings or losses per share attributable to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. The potential dilutive impact of redeemable Convertible Preferred shares and Class B common stock is evaluated using the as-if-converted method. Weighted average shares of Class B common stock were 16,244 shares and 16,356 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and 16,574 and 17,563 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The potentially dilutive impact of RSUs is calculated using the treasury stock method. The potential dilutive effects of Class B common stock were determined to be anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share. The potential dilutive effects of redeemable Convertible Preferred shares were determined to be anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share. Because the Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are antidilutive and have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share.

Note 16 – Contingencies and Litigation

Litigation – The Company has in the past been, is currently and expects to continue in the future to be a party to or involved in pre-litigation disputes, individual actions, putative class actions or other collective actions, U.S. and state government regulatory inquiries and investigations and various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business, including with former or current employees, customers, franchisees, vendors, landlords or others. The Company intends to defend itself in any such matters. The Company believes that the ultimate determination of liability in connection with legal claims pending against it, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, annual results of operations, liquidity or financial position, except for those matters discussed below. However, it is possible that the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition could be materially affected in a particular future reporting period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more matters or contingencies during such period.

As of the end of each applicable reporting period, the Company reviews each of its legal proceedings and, where it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the Company accrues for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. The Company accrued for estimated legal liabilities, where appropriate, or settlement agreements to resolve legal disputes and recorded an aggregate accrual of $2,295 and $1,343, which is included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

On November 22, 2023, former employees of a former franchisee of the Company filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, captioned Shannon McGill et al. v. Xponential Fitness LLC, et al., Case No. 2:23-cv-03909, against the Company, as well as against a former franchisee of the Company and the franchisee’s legal entity, MD Pro Fitness, LLC. The complaint alleges violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as well as employment laws from different states in connection with the franchisee’s owner-operated studio locations. The Company was served with the complaint on December 4, 2023. The Company intends to defend itself in this litigation. The Company recorded an accrual for estimated loss contingencies associated with this matter, which is included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024, based on currently available information. The accrual does not reflect the Company’s views of the merits of claims in this action.

On February 9, 2024, a federal securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleged, among other things, violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, regarding misstatements and/or omissions in certain of the Company’s financial statements, press releases, and SEC filings made during the putative class period of July 26, 2021 through December 7, 2023. On July 26, 2024, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, additionally bringing claims for Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act. The Company intends to defend itself against this action. The litigation is preliminary in nature and involves substantial uncertainties and is not probable or estimable at this time. Therefore, there can be no assurance that such legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

On March 10, 2024, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by Gideon Akande, allegedly on behalf of Xponential Fitness, Inc., against certain current officers and directors as defendants, and Xponential Fitness, Inc., as nominal defendant, for alleged wrongdoing committed by the individual defendants from July 26, 2021 to December 7, 2023. Plaintiff alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, violations of Sections 20(a) and 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act, and against Messrs. Geisler and Meloun for contribution or indemnification under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act. Plaintiffs seek, inter alia, damages with pre- and post-judgment interest, and an order directing the Company and the individual defendants to improve the Company’s corporate governance, and restitution by the individual defendants. On April 3, 2024, the court entered an Order granting the parties’ Joint Stipulation to Stay Proceedings, which stayed the proceeding pending final resolution of the securities class action. On May 10, 2024, a second derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by Patrick Ayers, purportedly on behalf of Xponential Fitness, Inc., alleging similar claims. On June 24, 2024, the Court stayed the Ayers action pending resolution of the securities class action and consolidated the proceedings with the Gideon Akande derivative lawsuit. The litigation is preliminary in nature and involves substantial uncertainties and is not probable or estimable at this time. Therefore, there can be no assurance that such legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

On November 2, 2023, the Company received a letter from plaintiffs’ counsel purporting to represent unspecified current and former franchisees requesting settlement discussions. On July 31, 2024, plaintiffs’ counsel provided the Company with a list of approximately 250 current and former franchisees, certain of which current and former franchisees consist of more than one individual, that it purported to represent in this matter, who purport to have been aggrieved by alleged misstatements and omissions by the Company oran affiliate thereof. No litigation has been commenced, and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. The Company recorded an accrual for estimated loss contingencies associated with this matter, which is included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The accrual does not reflect the Company’s views of the merits of claims in this action.

Government investigations – On December 5, 2023, the Company was contacted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), requesting that the Company provide it with certain information and documents. The Company received notice on May 7, 2024 of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California (the “USAO”). On July 29, 2024, the Company received a civil investigative demand from the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”). The Company intends to cooperate fully with the SEC, USAO and FTC in these investigations, and the Company has incurred, and may continue to incur, significant expenses related to legal and other professional services in connection with matters relating to or arising from these investigations. At this stage, the Company is unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of these investigations or estimate the range of any potential loss.

Contingent consideration from acquisitions – In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, the Parent merged with and into the Member. The Company recorded contingent consideration equal to the fair value of the shares issued in connection with the Rumble acquisition of $23,100 and a $10,600 receivable from shareholder for debt financing provided to the Rumble Seller. The shares issued to the Rumble Seller are treated as a liability on the Company's balance sheet as they are subject to vesting conditions. The fair value of the contingent consideration is measured at estimated fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis, which represents a Level 3 measurement. During thethree and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a decrease of $1,205 and an increase of $3,245 to contingent consideration, respectively, which were recorded as acquisition and transaction expense (income). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a decrease to contingent consideration of $31,152 and $15,177, respectively, which was recorded as acquisition and transaction income. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contingent consideration of $11,124 and $7,879, respectively, was recorded as contingent consideration from acquisitions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the October 2021 acquisition of BFT, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration to the seller consisting of quarterly cash payments based on the sales of the franchise system and equipment packages in the U.S. and Canada, as well as a percentage of royalties collected by the Company, provided that aggregate minimum payments of $5,000 AUD (approximately $3,694 USD based on the currency exchange rate as of the purchase date) are required to be paid to the seller for the two-year period ended December 31, 2023. The aggregate amount of such payments is subject to a maximum of $14,000 AUD (approximately $10,342 USD based on the currency exchange rate as of the purchase date). At the acquisition date, the Company determined that the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration liability was $9,388. The Company recorded additional contingent consideration of $36 and $77 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $44 and $93 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which was recorded as interest expense. The Company recorded a change to contingent consideration of $(285) and $(648) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $(100) and $(333) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which was recorded as acquisition and transaction expense (income). The Company paidno contingent consideration during thethree and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contingent consideration of $1,666 and $1,564 was recorded as accrued expenses, respectively, and $114 and $787 was recorded as contingent consideration from acquisitions, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, in connection with the October 2021 acquisition of BFT, the Company entered into a Master Franchise Agreement (“MFA”) with an affiliate of the Seller (the “Master Franchisee”), pursuant to which the Company granted the Master Franchisee the master franchise rights for the BFTTM brands in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. In exchange, the Company will receive certain fees and royalties, including a percentage of the revenue generated by the Master Franchisee under the MFA. The MFA contains an option for the Company to repurchase the master franchise rights granted under the MFA in 2024 at a purchase price based on the Master Franchisee’s EBITDA. If the Company (or a designee of the Company) does not exercise the option pursuant to the terms of the MFA, then the Company might be required to pay a cancellation fee to the Master Franchisee which might be material to the Company. If the Master Franchisee rejects an offer to repurchase the franchise rights, then the cancellation fee is not required to be paid. The Company believes the likelihood of a cancellation payment being required is remote as of June 30, 2024, and, therefore no accrual has been recorded.

In connection with the January 2024 acquisition of Lindora, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration to the seller subject to the achievement of certain milestones. Payment of additional consideration is contingent on Lindora reaching two milestones based on a certain gross sales target and the number of operating clinics during the 15-month and 24-month period following the acquisition date, respectively. At the acquisition date, the Company determined that the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration liability was $446. The Company recorded additional contingent consideration of $17 and $34 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which was recorded as interest expense.

The Company’s maximum obligation, as a result of its guarantees of leases, is approximately $1,365 and $2,755 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and would only require payment upon default by the primary obligor. The Company has determined the fair value of these guarantees at inception is not material, and as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no accrual has been recorded for the Company’s potential obligation under its guaranty arrangement.

Note 17 – Restructuring

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company began a restructuring plan that involves exiting company-owned transition studios and other measures designed to reduce costs to achieve the Company’s long-term margin goals and focus on pure franchise operations. The plan was approved and initiated in the third quarter of 2023 and is expected to continue throughout 2024; however ultimate timing will depend on lease termination negotiations. During the fourth quarter of 2023 the Company's restructuring plan was expanded due to the addition of Rumble company-owned transition studios to the restructuring plan and a refranchising plan that was terminated by the Company due to the refranchisor’s non-compliance with the franchise agreements and the subsequent closure of certain studios. This refranchise termination resulted in the Company incurring losses for contract termination expenses, other expenses associated with exiting the studios, and loss contingencies related to the refranchisor’s unpaid payroll. The Company expects to recognize additional restructuring charges throughout 2024 totaling approximately $13,500 to $17,000 for rent expense, including amortization of the right-of-use asset and accretion of the operating lease liability, lease termination gains or losses, and other variable lease costs related to company-owned transition studios and other restructuring charges. The Company is negotiating lease terminations for operating leases for certain studios for which the Company has lease liabilities recorded and the expected cash payments and expenses to exit the lease may be greater than expected rent expense for that period, depending on the outcome of lease termination negotiations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized total restructuring charges of $2,310 and $9,244, primarily for contract termination and other associated costs, loss on lease terminations and sale or disposal of assets, and other restructuring charges.
