Wind down of AKT brand franchise operations
Current report
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we announced that we would wind down AKT franchise operations. As part of the wind down, we began terminating franchise agreements with existing AKT studios and signed a licensing agreement with a former franchisee for no consideration received.
Current report
In addition to the number of new studios opened and studios no longer operating during a period, we track the number of total studios operating at the end of a reporting period. This number represents studios that have already opened, are generating revenue, and are regularly holding classes, though this number could include some number of studios that have temporarily suspended operations, but that are not permanently closed and have not yet met the definition for a Studio No Longer Operating. The number of studios that have temporarily suspended operations is an immaterial percentage of our total studio base.
Current report
The following tables contain information about changes in the number of our North America operating studios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:
Current report
AUV is calculated by dividing sales during the applicable period for all studios contributing to AUV by the number of studios contributing to AUV. All traditional studio locations in North America are included in the AUV calculation, so long as they meet certain time since opening and sales criteria (as defined immediately below). In particular, AUV (LTM as of period end) and Quarterly AUV (run rate) are calculated as follows:
Current report
Quarterly AUV (run rate) consists of average quarterly sales for all traditional studio locations in North America that had opened at least six calendar months ago as of the beginning of the respective quarter, and that have non-zero sales in the respective quarter (including nominal or negative sales figures; the only figures excluded are exact $0 amounts in the quarter), multiplied by four.
Current report
The following table reconciles our North America operating studios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to the total studios contributing to both AUV (LTM as of period end) and Quarterly AUV (run rate):

Impairment of goodwill and other assets. Impairment of goodwill and other assets was $4.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 4%. The decrease was primarily due to a write down of right-of-use assets and intangible assets of $4.5 million related to studio exits in conjunction with our restructuring plan and wind down of AKT franchise operations in the current year period compared to $4.7 million in the prior year primarily related to goodwill and intangible asset write downs related to Stride and Row House.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated revenue outside the United States of $6.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we did not have material assets located outside of the United States. No franchisee accounted for more than 5% of our revenue. We operate in one segment for financial reporting purposes.

We operate in one segment for financial reporting purposes.
Previous wording
In the third quarter of 2023, we began a restructuring plan that involves exiting company-owned transition studios and other measures designed to reduce costs to achieve our 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, our 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 us incurring losses for contract termination expenses, other expenses associated with exiting the studios, and loss contingencies related to the refranchisor’s unpaid payroll. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized total restructuring charges of $2.3 million, net of gains, and $9.2 million, net of gains, respectively, primarily for contract termination and other associated costs, loss on lease terminations and sale or disposal of assets, and other restructuring charges.

Previous wording
We expect to recognize additional restructuring charges throughout 2024 totaling approximately $13.5 million to $17.0 million 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. We are negotiating lease terminations for operating leases for certain studios for which we have 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. Cash outflows related to these lease terminations are expected to be incurred throughout 2024.
Current wording
We expect to recognize additional restructuring charges throughout 2024 and 2025 totaling approximately $11.5 million to $15.5 million for rent expense, including amortization of the right-of-use assets 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. We are considering subleases or negotiating lease terminations for operating leases for certain studios for which we have 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 negotiations. Cash outflows related to these lease terminations are expected to be incurred throughout 2024 and 2025.
Previous wording
Once completed we estimate annualized gross savings of approximately $13.5 million to $15.5 million under the restructuring plan. Additionally, we may not be able to fully realize the cost savings and benefits initially anticipated from the restructuring plan, the expected charges may be greater than expected, and we may not be able to reach agreement with contractual counterparties, any of which could negatively impact our business. See Note 17 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

A studio is considered no longer operating and excluded from the total number of studios operating if it has no sales for nine consecutive months or more. If a studio deemed to be no longer operating subsequently generates sales at a future date, it re-enters the operating studio count (and the number of studios no longer operating is reduced).
Current wording
A studio is considered no longer operating and excluded from the total number of studios operating if (a) the Company has reason to believe, after reasonable inquiry, that the studio is permanently closed, with no plans for re-opening or relocation, or (b) it has no sales for nine consecutive months or more, whichever comes first. If a studio deemed to be no longer operating subsequently generates sales at a future date, it re-enters the operating studio count (and the number of studios no longer operating is reduced). Studios classified as no longer operating are deemed permanently closed.
Previous wording
In addition to the number of new studios opened and studios no longer operating during a period, we track the number of total studios operating at the end of a reporting period. While nearly all our franchised studios are licensed to franchisees, from time to time we operate a limited number of company-owned transition studios (typically as we take possession of a studio following a franchisee ceasing to operate it and as we prepare it to be licensed to a new franchisee). Management reviews the number of studios operating at a given point in time in order to help forecast system-wide sales, franchise revenue and other revenue streams.
Current wording
Please see the table in the “Same Store Sales” section, sub header “North America studios contributing to same store sales.” The line “studios without 13 months of consecutive sales as of the last month that had positive sales within the period being measured” is an indicator for the number of North America traditional location studios that are older than 13 months, and that have had a recent or current disruption in sales, but that are still included in the Number of Studios Operating count. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, this represented 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively, of our North America studio base. While nearly all our franchised studios are licensed to franchisees, from time to time we operate a limited number of company-owned transition studios (typically as we take possession of a studio following a franchisee ceasing to operate it and as we prepare it to be licensed to a new franchisee).

AUV is calculated by dividing sales during the applicable period for all studios contributing to AUV by the number of studios contributing to AUV. LTM AUV (last twelve months as of period end) consists of the average sales for the trailing 12 calendar months for all traditional studio locations in North America that have been open for at least 13 calendar months as of the measurement date and that have generated sales for the last 13 calendar months as of the measurement date. Quarterly run-rate AUV consists of average quarterly sales for all traditional studio locations in North America that are at least six months old at the beginning of the respective quarter, and that have sales in the period, multiplied by four. We measure sales for AUV based solely upon monthly sales as reported by franchisees. AUV growth is primarily driven by changes in same store sales and is also influenced by new studio openings. Management reviews AUV to assess studio economics.

Same store sales refer to period-over-period sales comparisons for the base of studios. We define the same store sales base to include studios in North America that are in traditional studio locations and that have generated sales for the last 13 consecutive calendar months as of the measurement date. Any transfer of ownership of a studio does not affect this metric. We measure same store sales based solely upon monthly sales as reported by franchisees. This measure highlights the performance of existing studios, while excluding the impact of new studio openings. Management reviews same store sales to assess the health of the franchised studios.

Same store sales refer to period-over-period sales comparisons for the base of studios. We define the same store sales base to include monthly sales for any traditional studio location in North America. If the studio has generated at least 13 months of consecutive positive sales and opened at least 13 calendars months ago as of any month within the measurement period, the respective comparable months will be included. We measure same store sales based solely upon monthly sales as derived through the designated point-of-sale system. This measure highlights the performance of existing studios, while excluding the impact of new studio openings. Management reviews same store sales to assess the health of the franchised studios.

Most equipment revenue is recognized in the period when the equipment is installed. Global equipment installations in the three months ended June 30, 2024, totaled 128 compared to 138 in the prior year period, primarily due to the decrease in studio openings compared to the prior year period. The average revenue per installation decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2024, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in average revenue was due to brand mix and a higher proportion of equipment installed with brands with lower equipment prices.
