Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Nature of Business and Operations
Xponential Fitness, Inc. (“XPO Inc.”), and together with its subsidiaries, (the “Company” or “we,” “us,” and “our”), 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, through its subsidiaries, 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”).
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 consolidated financial statements and records a noncontrolling interest related to the Class B units held by the Class B stockholders on its consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s portfolio offive brands consisted of: “Club Pilates,” a Pilates facility franchisor; “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; “Pure Barre,” a total body workout concept that uses the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements; and “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. 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. Prior to the divestitures of the CycleBar and Rumble brands in July 2025, the Company, through its ownership of the CycleBar and Rumble brands, franchised boutique fitness studios dedicated to indoor cycling and boxing disciplines, respectively. Additionally, prior to the divestiture of the Lindora brand in September 2025, the Company, through its ownership of the Lindora brand, franchised clinics that provided medically guided wellness and metabolic health solutions to its members. In addition to franchised studios, the Company operatedone company-owned transition studio as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
On July 3, 2025, the Company and Fit Commerce, a California Corporation (“FC”), entered into a Retail Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) effective as of December 1, 2025 (the “Effective Date”). The Agreement relates to the outsourcing of the Company’s retail merchandising, including the manufacturing and distribution, of any retail item sold by a franchisee, subject to terms and conditions outlined in the Agreement. In addition, FC has agreed to purchase the Company’s existing retail inventory, subject to certain exceptions, no later than December 15, 2025. This strategic initiative shifted management of the franchisee retail experience from in-house teams to a dedicated e-commerce provider, allowing the Company to focus on its core business priorities. Pursuant to the Agreement, FC will pay the Company domestic and foreign commissions as well as direct-to-customer commissions (each, a “Commission” and collectively, “Commissions”) in connection with the sale of products to the Company or the Company's franchisees. The domestic Commissions will be paid by FC to the Company based on each contract year (prorated for any partial contract year) in an aggregate amount of approximately $50,000 over thefive-year period subject to certain adjustments provided in the Agreement. On November 10, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Agreement, pursuant to which certain non-material modifications were made to the provisions governing the purchase of the Company's existing retail inventory.
On September 19, 2025, the Company divested the Lindora brand, including the intellectual property, franchise rights and franchise agreements for open studios. On July 24, 2025, the Company divested the CycleBar and Rumble brands, including the intellectual property, franchise rights and franchise agreements for open studios. 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. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company announced the wind down of AKT franchise operations. See Note 3 for additional information.
Basis of presentation – The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
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 consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date through the divestiture date. See Note 3 for additional information.
Reclassifications –To conform with current year presentation, the Company has reclassified gift card receivable of $5,809 from accounts receivable, net, to prepaid expenses and other current assets in the December 31, 2024 consolidated balance sheet. The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Specifically, within the consolidated statements of cash flows changes in tax receivable agreement liability, which was previously included in other current liabilities and other liabilities, is now reported separately. The reclassifications do not affect previously reported cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
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
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's restricted cash consists of marketing fund restricted cash, which can only be used for activities that promote the Company’s brands, and guarantee of standby letter of credit (See Note 16). Marketing fund restricted cash was $11,406 and $15,312 at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The interest earned on marketing fund restricted cash accounts is also restricted for use. Restricted cash was $12,194 and $16,063 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Concentration of credit risk – Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable and notes receivable. The Company maintains its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $42,518 and $28,836, respectively, on deposit with high-credit quality financial institutions that exceeded federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any loss as a result of these or previous similar deposits. In addition, the Company closely monitors the extension of credit to its franchisees while maintaining allowances for potential credit losses. No single franchisee represents 10% or more of accounts and note receivable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and no single franchisee represents 10% or more of revenues for theyears ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Accounts receivable, notes 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. The Company’s payment terms on its receivables from franchisees are generally 30 days. 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. Notes receivable primarily consists of loans provided 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’s accounts and notes receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an allowance for expected credit losses. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts and notes receivable balances and establishes an 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 franchisee’s or customer’s financial condition and ability to comply with credit terms and current economic trends, all of which are subject to change. Actual uncollected amounts have historically been consistent with the Company’s expectations. 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 following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s accounts receivable and notes receivable allowance for credit losses:
| Accounts receivable | Notes receivable | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance at December 31, 2022 | $865 | $719 | $1,584 |
| Bad debt expense recognized during the period | 914 | 1,536 | 2,450 |
| Write-off of uncollectible amounts | (426) | (71) | (497) |
| Balance at December 31, 2023 | $1,353 | $2,184 | $3,537 |
| Bad debt expense recognized during the year | 2,888 | 214 | 3,102 |
| Write-off of uncollectible amounts | (1,731) | (2,193) | (3,924) |
| Balance at December 31, 2024 | $2,510 | $205 | $2,715 |
| Bad debt expense recognized during the year | 2,786 | 58 | 2,844 |
| Write-off of uncollectible amounts | (3,623) | (220) | (3,843) |
| Balance at December 31, 2025 | $1,673 | $43 | $1,716 |
Inventories – Inventories are comprised of finished goods including equipment and branded merchandise primarily held for sale to franchisees which are valued at the lower of cost of net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out method. Management analyzes obsolete, slow-moving and excess merchandise to determine adjustments that may be required to reduce the carrying value of such inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value. Write-down of obsolete or slow-moving and excess inventory charges are included in costs of product revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
Property and equipment, net– Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line method, based on the following estimated useful lives:
| Furniture and equipment | 5 years |
|---|---|
| Computers and software | 3-5 years |
| Vehicles | 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of useful life or lease term |
Software consists primarily of costs associated with web development projects. The Company capitalizes eligible costs to acquire, develop, or modify digital platforms that are incurred subsequent to the preliminary project stage. These costs include external direct costs of services. Depreciation of these assets begins upon the initial usage of the digital platforms. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, as well as maintenance, are expensed as incurred.
The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations during the period of sale or disposal. Costs for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Repairs and maintenance costs for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were insignificant.
Leases– The Company leases office space, company-owned transition studio, 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.
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. 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, if applicable, 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. 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. Non-lease components primarily include payments for common area maintenance.
The Company has guaranteed lease agreements for certain franchisees. The Company is only required to make a payment upon default by the primary obligor. 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.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets– Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of goodwill and certain trademarks.
Goodwill– The Company tests for impairment of goodwill annually or sooner whenever events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. The Company’s reporting units are the brand names under which it sells franchises. The annual impairment test is performed as of the first day of the Company’s fourth quarter. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may decide to first perform a qualitative assessment, or “step zero” impairment test, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company does not perform a qualitative assessment, or if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units exceeds their carrying amounts, the Company performs a quantitative assessment and calculates the estimated fair value of the respective reporting unit. The Company generally determines the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow approach, giving consideration to the market valuation approach. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount the carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Goodwill impairment of $7,451, $37,807 and $6,737 was recorded for theyears ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Trademarks– The Company tests for impairment of trademarks with an indefinite life annually or sooner whenever events or circumstances indicate that trademarks might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the trademarks is less than the carrying amount. In the absence of sufficient qualitative factors, trademark impairment is determined by comparing the fair value to the carrying value of the trademarks. The Company determines the estimated fair value using a relief from royalty approach. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the Company impairs the trademarks to their fair value. Trademark impairment of$3,499 and $251 was recorded for theyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There wereno trademark impairments for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Definite-lived intangible assets – Definite-lived intangible assets, consisting of franchise agreements, reacquired franchise rights, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, certain trademarks and web design and domain, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining economic lives. Deferred video production costs are amortized on an accelerated basis. Amortization expense related to intangible assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense. The recoverability of the carrying values of all intangible assets with finite lives is evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset’s value may be impaired. Impairment testing is based on a review of forecasted undiscounted operating cash flows. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value, which is determined based on discounted future cash flows, through a charge to the consolidated statements of operations.
Definite-lived intangible asset impairments of $12,650,$15,244 and $8,936 were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Definite-lived intangible asset impairments during the year ended December 31, 2025 related tothe BFT trademark, franchise agreement and deferred video production. Definite-lived intangible asset impairments during the year ended December 31, 2024, related to a) franchise agreements of the CycleBar and BFT reporting units and b) deferred video production costs and web design and domain intangible assets related to the AKT reporting unit. Definite-lived intangible asset impairments during the year ended December 31, 2023, related to a)trademark and franchise agreements of the Stride and Row House reporting units, b) intangible assets related to franchise agreements, net of reacquired franchise rights, in connection with the acquisition of 14 Rumble studios from the original founder sellers of the Rumble brand, which was acquired by the Company in 2021 and c) impairment related to reacquired franchise rights in connection with selling six Rumble brand company-owned transition studios. For further discussion related to definite-lived intangible asset impairments, see Note 6.
Revenue recognition– The Company’s contracts with customers consist of franchise agreements with franchisees. The Company also enters into agreements to sell merchandise and equipment, training, on-demand video services and membership to company-owned transition studios. The Company’s revenues primarily consist of franchise license revenues, other franchise related revenues including equipment and merchandise sales and training revenue. In addition, the Company earns on-demand revenue, service revenue and other revenue.
Each of the Company’s primary sources of revenue and their respective revenue policies are discussed further below.
Franchise revenue – The Company enters into franchise agreements for each franchised studio. The Company’s performance obligation under the franchise license is granting certain rights to access the Company’s intellectual property; all other services the Company provides under the franchise agreement are highly interrelated, not distinct within the contract, and therefore accounted for as a single performance obligation, which is satisfied over the term of each franchise agreement. Those services include initial development, operational training, preopening support and access to the Company’s technology throughout the franchise term. Fees generated related to the franchise license include development fees, royalty fees, marketing fees, technology fees and transfer fees, which are discussed further below. Variable fees are not estimated at contract inception, and are recognized as revenue when invoiced, which occurs monthly. The Company has concluded that its franchise agreements do not contain any financing components. In certain circumstances, a franchise agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the contractual terms, including in connection with termination of a studio. Upon termination, the Company evaluates the remaining deferred franchise revenue associated with the terminated franchise agreement to determine whether its remaining performance obligations have been satisfied. When the original franchise agreement is terminated, any remaining deferred initial franchise fee associated with that studio is generally recognized as revenue at the point in time the termination occurs, provided that the Company has no remaining material performance obligations under the terminated agreement.
Franchise development fee revenue– The Company’s earlier franchise agreements typically operate underten-year terms with theoption for up to two additional five-year successor or renewal terms. Starting in 2025, new franchise agreements operate under ten-year terms with the option for one additional ten-year successor term. The Company determined the successor options are neither qualitatively nor quantitatively material and do not represent a material right. Initial franchise fees are non-refundable, in the case of single unit franchise agreements, and are typically collected upon signing of the franchise agreement. Initial franchise fees are recorded as deferred revenue when received and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the franchise life, which the Company has determined to beten years, as the Company fulfills its promise to grant the franchisee the rights to access and benefit from the Company’s intellectual property and to support and maintain the intellectual property.
Prior to the second quarter of 2025, the Company would enter into an area development agreement with certain franchisees. Area development agreements are for a territory in which a developer has agreed to develop and operate a certain number of franchise locations over a stipulated period of time. The related territory is unavailable to any other party and is no longer marketed to future franchisees by the Company. Depending on the number of studios purchased under franchise agreements or area development agreements, the initial franchise fee ranges from $60 (single studio) to $350 (ten studios) and is paid to the Company when a franchisee signs the franchise agreement or the area development agreement. Area development fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue. The development fees are allocated to the number of studios purchased under the development agreement. The revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the franchise life for each studio under the development agreement. Development fees and franchise fees are generally recognized as revenue upon the termination of the development agreement with the franchisee.
Starting in the second quarter of 2025, the Company may enter into multi-unit agreements with certain franchisees. Under these agreements, a developer has agreed to develop and operate a certain number of franchise locations over a stipulated period of time. The initial franchise fee ranges from $55 to $65 for each studio. The multi-unit agreement fees are allocated to the number of studios to be developed and as part of the agreement, franchisees are required to remit the full fee associated with the first franchise license and make nonrefundable development fee payments of $10 each to reserve the right to open the subsequent studios as specified. Fees received for franchise licenses are recorded as deferred revenue. Nonrefundable development fee payments are applied towards the multi-unit agreement fees and the remaining balance for each subsequent studio is due upon site selection for the studio and signing of a franchise agreement by the franchisee. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the franchise life for each studio under the multi-unit agreement. Multi-unit agreement fees and nonrefundable development fee payments are generally recognized as revenue upon the termination of the multi-unit agreement with the franchisee.
The Company may enter into master franchise agreements with master franchisees, under which the master franchisee sells licenses to franchisees in one or more countries, excluding the United States and Canada. The master franchise agreements generally provide aten-year period under which the master franchisee may sell licenses. The master franchise agreement term ends on the earlier of the expiration or termination of the last franchise agreement sold by the master franchisee. Initial master franchise fees are recorded as deferred revenue when received and are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.
Franchise royalty fee revenue – Royalty revenue represents royalties earned from each of the franchised studios in accordance with the franchise disclosure document and the franchise agreement for use of the brands’ names, processes and procedures. The royalty rate in the franchise agreement is typically 7% to 8% of the gross sales of each location operated by each franchisee. The royalties are entirely related to the Company’s performance obligation under the franchise agreement and are billed and recognized as franchisee sales occur.
Technology fees – The Company may provide access to third-party or other proprietary technology solutions to the franchisees for a fee. The technology solution may include various software licenses for statistical tracking, scheduling, allowing club members to record their personal workout statistics, music and technology support. The Company bills and recognizes the technology fee as earned each month as the service is performed and access is provided.
Transfer fees – Transfer fees are paid to the Company when one franchisee transfers a franchise agreement to a different franchisee. Transfer fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the new or assumed franchise agreement, unless the original franchise agreement for an existing studio is terminated, in which case the transfer fee is recognized immediately.
Training revenue – The Company provides coach training services either through direct training of the coaches who are hired by franchisees or by providing the materials and curriculum directly to the franchisees who utilize the materials to train their hired coaches. Direct training fees are recognized over time as training is provided. Training fees for materials and curriculum are recognized at the point in time of delivery of the materials.
The Company also offers coach training and final coach certification through online classes. Fees received by the Company for online class training are recognized as revenue over time for the 12-month period that the Company is obligated to provide access to online training content.
Franchise marketing fund revenue – Franchisees are required to pay marketing fees of 2% of their gross sales. The marketing fees are collected by the Company on a monthly basis and are to be used for the advertising, marketing, market research, product development, public relations programs and materials deemed appropriate to benefit brands. The Company’s promise to provide the marketing services funded through the marketing fund is considered a component of the Company’s performance obligation to grant the franchise license. The Company bills and recognizes marketing fund fees as revenue each month as gross sales occur. Marketing fund expenses are recorded as incurred, which may not occur in the same period as the recognition of franchise marketing fund revenue.
Equipment and merchandise revenue – The following revenues are generated as a result of transactions with or related to the Company’s franchisees.
Equipment revenue – The Company sells authorized equipment to franchisees to be used in the franchised studios. Franchisees generally prepay for equipment, and in that circumstance, the revenue is deferred until delivery and installation. Equipment revenue is recognized when control of the equipment is transferred to the franchisee, which is at the point in time when delivery and installation of the equipment at the studio is complete.
Merchandise revenue –Up to December 2025, the Company sold wholesale branded and non-branded merchandise to franchisees for retail sales to customers at studios. For wholesale merchandise sales, the performance obligation was satisfied at the point in time of delivery of the ordered merchandise to the franchisee. For such wholesale merchandise sales, the Company was the principal in the transaction as it controls the merchandise prior to it being delivered to the franchisee. The Company recorded wholesale merchandise revenue and related costs upon delivery on a gross basis. Customers had the right to return and/or receive credit for defective merchandise. Returns and credit for defective merchandise were insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Effective December 1, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with FC to outsource its retail merchandising, including the manufacturing and distribution, of any retail item sold by a franchisee. Pursuant to the Agreement, FC will pay the Company domestic and foreign commissions as well as direct-to-customer commissions in connection with the sale of products to the Company's franchisees. The domestic Commissions will be paid by FC to the Company based on each contract year (prorated for any partial contract year) in an aggregate amount of approximately $50.0 million over thefive-year period subject to certain adjustments provided in the Agreement. On November 10, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Agreement, pursuant to which certain non-material modifications were made to the provisions governing the purchase of the Company's existing retail inventory.
Other revenue –Service revenue –Historically, the revenue from company-owned transition studios has been very limited as the Company typically only owns a small number of studios and only for a short period of time pending the resale of the license to a franchisee. For company-owned transition studios, the Company’s distinct performance obligation is to provide fitness classes to the customer. The company-owned studios sell memberships by individual class and by class packages. Revenue from the sale of classes and class packages for a specified number of classes are recognized over time as the customer attends and utilizes the classes. Revenues from the sale of class packages for an unlimited number of classes are recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the duration of the contract period.
On-demand revenue –The Company grants a subscriber access to an online hosted platform, which contains a library of web-based classes that is continually updated, through monthly or annual subscription packages. Revenue is recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the subscription period.
Other revenue –The Company earns commission income from certain of its franchisees’ use of certain preferred vendors. In these arrangements, the Company is the agent as it is not primarily responsible for fulfilling the orders. Commissions are earned and recognized at the point in time the vendor ships the product to franchisees. In addition, the Company grants vendors access to franchisees' members to provide certain services to the members for a fee. Revenue is recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the access period.
Sales taxes, value added taxes and other taxes that are collected in connection with revenue transactions are withheld and remitted to the respective taxing authorities. As such, these taxes are excluded from revenue. The Company elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods. Therefore, shipping and handling fees that are billed to franchisees are recognized in revenue and the associated shipping and handling costs are recognized in cost of product sold as soon as control of the goods transfers to the franchisee.
Shipping and handling fees – Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded in merchandise and equipment revenues. The costs associated with shipping goods to customers are included in costs of product revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
Costs of franchise and service revenue –Costs of franchise and service revenue consists of commissions related to the signing of franchise agreements, travel and personnel expenses related to the on-site training provided to the franchisees, and expenses related to the purchase of the technology packages and the related monthly fees. Costs of franchise and service revenue excludes depreciation and amortization.
Costs of product revenue –Costs of product revenue consists of cost of equipment and merchandise and related freight charges. Costs of product revenue excludes depreciation and amortization.
Advertising costs –Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company had approximately$3,554, $5,324 and $9,246, respectively, of advertising costs, including amounts spent in excess of marketing fund revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses – The Company’s selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses primarily consist of salaries and wages, sales and marketing expenses, professional and legal fees, occupancy expenses, management fees, travel expenses, conference expenses and restructuring costs.
Marketing fund expenses –Marketing fund expenses are recognized as incurred and are included in the marketing fund expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Acquisition and transaction expenses (income) –Acquisition and transaction expenses (income) include costs directly related to the acquisition of businesses, which include expenditures for advisory, legal, valuation, accounting and similar services, in addition to amounts recorded for changes in contingent consideration (see Note 16).
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 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 and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other current liabilities. 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. On December 8, 2025, the Company repurchased all outstanding Convertible Preferred concurrently with the closing of refinancing transaction under the Credit Agreement. No shares of Preferred Stock remained outstanding at December 31, 2025, see Note 10.
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 or losses 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 14.
Restructuring charges – Restructuring charges consist primarily of loss on lease terminations and sale or disposal of assets, impairment and accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets, contract termination and other associated costs, and other restructuring charges. Impairment of right-of-use assets and lease termination costs directly related to our active restructuring plan are expensed in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. Other restructuring charges are accounted for under ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and are either deferred or expensed as incurred based on the nature of the expense. For further discussion of restructuring charges, see Note 17.
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 adopted accounting pronouncements
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses– In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” This standard allows entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is applied prospectively. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have an impact on the Company's 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, for public business entities (“PBEs”) and December 15, 2025 for entities other than PBEs with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard during the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 for additional information.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and will lose this qualification on December 31, 2026, which is the last day of the fiscal year after the fifth anniversary of the Company's IPO, or sooner. 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.
Income Statement Expense Disclosures – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated information about specified categories of expenses included in certain captions presented on the face of the income statement including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public entities with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations and Consolidation – In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity.” ASU No. 2025-03 provides clarifying guidance on determining the accounting acquirer in certain transactions involving VIEs. The update aims to improve consistency and comparability in financial reporting. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have but does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software – In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use-Software.” This standard modernizes the guidance to reflect the software development approaches currently being used by removing all references to "development stages" from ASC 350-40 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software. Under ASU 2025-06, only the following criteria in ASC 350-40-25-12(b) and (c) must be met to begin capitalizing software costs: (i) management, with the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have but does not expect it to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Interim Reporting (Topic 270) – In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11,“ Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements” This standard improves the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifies when the guidance is applicable, as well as provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028. The Company is evaluating the impact this the new standard may have, but does not expect it to have a significant impact on its 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
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company refranchised operations at 0,10, and 79 company-owned transition studios, respectively, received proceeds of $0, $0, and $60 respectively, and recorded a net loss of $0, $122, and $635 on disposal of the studio assets, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company also ceased operations at 0,11, and 22 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.
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 years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company didnot record any impairment charges related to studio assets. See Note 8 for discussion of impairment charges related to right-of-use assets.

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.

The acquisition of the Lindora Franchisor was completed on January 2, 2024.
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.

Note 4 – Contract Liabilities and Costs from Contracts with Customers
Contract liabilities – Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue resulting from franchise fees (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 consolidated balance sheets based on the anticipated timing of delivery. The following table reflects the change in franchise, including area development and multi-unit agreements and brand fee contract liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Other deferred revenue amounts of $10,023 and $15,248 for theyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are excluded from the table as the original expected duration of the contracts isone year or less.

Includes revenue recognized as a result of terminations of $19,932, $12,285, and $6,147 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 December 31, 2025. The expected future recognition period for deferred franchise and area 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.
| Contract liabilities to be recognized in revenue | Franchise development fees | Brand fees | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $8,814 | $243 | $9,057 |
| 2027 | 8,813 | 464 | 9,277 |
| 2028 | 8,872 | — | 8,872 |

| Thereafter | 36,119 | — | 36,119 |
| $78,161 | $707 | $78,868 |
The following table reflects the components of deferred revenue:
| December 31, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Franchise development fees | $78,161 | $115,679 |
| Brand fees | 707 | 920 |
| Equipment and other | 10,023 | 15,248 |
| Total deferred revenue | 88,891 | 131,847 |
| Non-current portion of deferred revenue | 69,567 | 105,935 |
| Current portion of deferred revenue | $19,324 | $25,912 |
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 or initial 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.

Note 6 – 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.
The following table summarizes goodwill activity:
| Balance at December 31, 2023 | $170,701 |
|---|---|
| Acquisition - Lindora | 2,346 |
| Impairment | (37,807) |
| Balance at December 31, 2024 | 135,240 |
| Impairment | (7,451) |
| Balance at December 31, 2025 | $127,789 |
Cumulative goodwill impairment was $55,371 and$47,920 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The impairment charges are included within impairment of goodwill and other assets in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company determined it was necessary to re-evaluate goodwill of the BFT and Lindora reporting units 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 units using an income approach with assumptions that are considered Level 3 inputs and concluded that the carrying value of the BFT and Lindora reporting units exceeded their fair values, resulting in a goodwill impairment of $5,105 and $2,346, respectively, andno goodwill remaining for the BFT and Lindora reporting units. The fair value of the reporting units were determined by discounting estimated future cash flows, which were calculated based on revenue and expense long-term growth assumptions ranging from 9.0% to 22.0%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) of 19.0% for the BFT reporting unit and revenue and expense long-term growth assumptions ranging from 6.0% to 16.0%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) of 26.0% for the Lindora reporting unit.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company determined that the carrying value of the CycleBar trademark intangible asset was in excess of its fair value and recognized animpairment loss of $3,449. The fair value of the trademark intangible asset was determined by the relief from royalty method using Level 3 inputs. The discount rate and royalty rate used in the relief from royalty valuation were 13.0% and 1.0%, respectively.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company determined that the carrying value of the BFT trademark, franchise agreement and deferred video production intangible assets were in excess of their fair value and recognized an aggregate impairment loss of $12,700. The fair value of the trademark intangible asset was determined by the relief from royalty method using Level 3 inputs. The discount rate and royalty rate used in the relief from royalty valuation were 17.0% and 0.5%, respectively. The fair value of the franchise agreement intangible asset was determined by the excess earnings method, which represents the multi-period excessive earnings generated by the asset that remains after a deduction for a return on other contributory assets using Level 3 inputs. The discount rate used in the excess earning valuation was 14.0%.
At December 31, 2025, the goodwill related to the Pure Barre reporting unit of $42,548 is at a heightened risk of future impairment as the fair value of the Pure Barre reporting unit, and its associated assets, exceeded its carrying value by approximately 6%. This meaningful decline in the fair value cushion above the carrying value is driven by decreases to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, an inability to execute management’s business strategies or general market conditions, such as economic downturns, and changes in interest rates, including discount rates. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective, and actual results may differ materially from the Company's estimates. If the Company's ongoing cash flow projections are not met or if market factors utilized in the impairment test deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the terminal growth rate or the weighted-average cost of capital, the Company may have to record impairment charges in future periods.
At December 31, 2025, the YogaSix and StretchLab reporting units had negative carrying values. The goodwill related to the YogaSix and StretchLab reporting units were $3,927 and $2,770, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.
During the 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 the CycleBar reporting unit were also impaired and recognized animpairment loss of $1,178 in the second quarter of 2024.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, in connection with the wind down of the AKT brand, as discussed in Note 3, the Company determined that the deferred video production costs and web design and domain intangible assets related to AKT were impaired and recognized animpairment loss of $179.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred goodwill impairment charges of $26,896, primarily related to the BFT and Rumble reporting units. The Company determined it was necessary to re-evaluate goodwill of the BFT and Rumble reporting units for impairment due to indicators of potential impairment including the signing of an Amended Master Franchise Agreement on December 31, 2024, for the BFT reporting unit and a decline in forecasted and actual cash flows for both the BFT and the Rumble reporting units. Therefore, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of the fair values of the reporting units using an income approach with assumptions that are considered Level 3 inputs and concluded that the carrying values of the BFT and Rumble reporting units exceeded their fair values, resulting in a goodwill impairment of $16,387 and $10,283, respectively, and $5,105 of goodwill remaining for the BFT reporting unit andno goodwill remaining for the Rumble reporting unit. The fair values of the reporting units were determined by discounting estimated future cash flows, which were calculated based on revenue and expense long-term growth assumptions ranging from 11.0% to 22.0%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) of 22.0% for the BFT reporting unit and revenue and expense long-term growth assumptions ranging from 6.0% to 12.0%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) of 19.0% for the Rumble reporting unit. This was a partial impairment for the BFT reporting unit.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that the carrying values of the franchise agreements intangible assets related to BFT were in excess of their fair values and recognized animpairment loss of $13,884 during the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

This was a partial impairment, the trademark intangible asset, which was $9,649 as of December 31, 2024.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company determined it was necessary to re-evaluate goodwill of the Stride and Row House reporting units 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 values of the reporting units using an income approach with assumptions that are considered Level 3 inputs and concluded that the carrying values of the Stride and Row House reporting units exceeded their fair values, resulting in a goodwill impairment of $3,469 and $700, respectively, resulting inno goodwill remaining for the Stride and Row House reporting units. The fair values of the reporting units were determined by discounting estimated future cash flows, which were calculated based on revenue and expense long-term growth assumptions ranging from 8.0% to 43.0%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) of 16.0%. In addition, the Company determined that the franchise agreements intangible assets, trademarks and deferred video production costs intangible assets related to Stride and Row House were also impaired and recognized an aggregate impairment loss of $230 for the franchise agreements, an aggregate impairment loss of $180 for the trademarks and an aggregate impairment loss of $83 for the deferred video production intangibles assets in the third quarter of 2023.

Note 8 – 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 Company has in the past guaranteed lease agreements for certain franchisees. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets from operating leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ASC Topic 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 estimates what market participants would pay to lease the assets assuming the highest and best use in the assets' current forms. During the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized ROU asset impairment charges of $6,812, $7,012, and $92, respectively, related to studio exits in conjunction with its restructuring plan discussed in Note 17. The impairment charges were recorded within impairment of goodwill and other assets in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 9 – Related Party Transactions
In March 2021, the Company funded a note payable under a debt financing obligation in connection with the acquisition of Rumble. The Company earned interest at the rate of 11% per annum on the receivable. In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, XPO Inc. recorded $10,600 receivable from shareholder, as the original founder sellers of the Rumble brand, which was acquired by the Company in 2021 (the “Rumble Seller”) is a shareholder of XPO Inc., for the debt financing provided to the Rumble Seller. In July 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Rumble Sellers to resolve disputes related to the acquisition and related agreements. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company prospectively reduced the interest rate on the debt financing provided to the Rumble Sellers from 11% per annum to 7.5% per annum if payment is in cash or 10% per annum if payment is in payment-in-kind and extended the maturity date of the debt financing.

Spartan Fitness also owns the rights to 73 Club Pilates licenses to open additional new units. The Company recorded franchise, equipment and marketing fund revenue aggregating $14,970, $10,651 and $6,389 during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, from studios owned by Spartan Fitness.
The Company previously earned revenues and had accounts receivable from a franchisee comprised of a former member of the Company's senior management together with their spouse, a former employee of the Company.

Note 10 – Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On July 23, 2021, the Company issued and sold in a private placement 200 newly issued shares of 6.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 6.50% 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 prior to the repurchase of all shares of issued and outstanding Convertible Preferred on December 8, 2025.
The Convertible Preferred is recorded as mezzanine equity (temporary equity) on the 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 December 31, 2024, the Company recognized the preferred maximum redemption value of$116,810, 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 December 31, 2024). The recording of the preferred maximum redemption value for the year ended December 31, 2024, did not impact the calculation of earnings (loss) per share and did not result in any change to additional paid-in-capital.
On December 8, 2025, the Company entered into a privately negotiated preferred stock repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with holders of its issued and outstanding Convertible Preferred, pursuant to which the Company paid in cash to such holders an aggregate of $127,031 and $1,434 in accrued and unpaid dividends in exchange for the repurchase of 115 shares of issued and outstanding Preferred Stock (the “Repurchase Transaction”). The Repurchase Transaction closed concurrently with the closing of refinancing transaction under the Credit Agreement, see Note 7. Following the Repurchase Transaction, no shares of Convertible Preferred remain outstanding. The excess of fair market value of $11,655 over the consideration transferred was treated as deemed dividend and resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in-capital and was included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share.
Note 11 – 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.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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 1,001,1,828, and 1,620 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, respectively. Additionally, in February 2026, 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 2,000 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.
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 2025, 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 December 31, 2025:
| Owner | Units Owned | Ownership percentage |
|---|---|---|
| XPO Inc. | 35,256 | 72.0% |
| Noncontrolling interests | 13,738 | 28.0% |
| Total | 48,994 | 100.0% |
Accelerated Share Repurchase program –On August 1, 2023, the Company's board of directors approved a $50,000 accelerated share repurchase program (the“ASR Program”) to repurchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The Company accounted for the ASR Program as two separate transactions, a repurchase of the Company’s Class A common stock and an equity-linked contract indexed to the Company’s Class A common stock that met certain accounting criteria for classification in stockholders' equity. Under the ASR Program, the Company paid a fixed amount of $50,000 on August 9, 2023, to a third-party financial institution and received an initial delivery of 2,010 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which were retired immediately. The initial delivery of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock represented approximately 80% of the fixed amount paid of $50,000, which was based on the share price of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of ASR Program execution. On October 2, 2023, the final settlement of the Company's ASR Program occurred, and the Company received an additional 589 shares of the Company's Class A common stock from the third-party financial institution. The payment of $50,000 was recorded as reductions to stockholders' equity, consisting of a $40,000 decrease in additional paid-in capital, which reflects the value of the initial shares received and immediately retired, and a $10,000 decrease in additional paid-in capital, which reflects the value of the Class A common stock that was delivered by the financial institution upon final settlement. Under the ASR Program, the Company also incurred $439 in associated costs, consisting primarily of legal fees and a 1% excise tax, which were recorded as a decrease in additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
In total under the ASR Program, the Company repurchased and immediately retired 2,599 shares of Class A common stock. The final number of shares received by the Company was based on the daily volume-weighted average stock price of the Company’s Class A common stock during the duration of the ASR Program, less a discount and adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Program agreement.
Note 12 – 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 December 31, 2024, there were no profit interest units outstanding as the last of these profit interest units vested in August 2024.
Equity classified restricted stock units– In June 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the“2021 Plan”) under which the Company may grant options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate the sum of (i)5,746 shares of Class A common stock, (ii) the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable pursuant to awards previously granted under the First Amended and Restated Profits Interest Plan of H&W Franchise Holdings LLC (“Pre-IPO Plan”)(taking into account any conversion of such outstanding Awards) and (iii) an additional number of shares of Class A common stock that shall become available on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company in an amount equal to the lesser of a)511, b)2% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the last day of the immediately prior fiscal year or c) such number of shares of Class A common stock as determined by the board of directors in its discretion. As of December 31, 2025, there were 2,367 shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan. As an accounting policy election, the Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
The following table summarizes aggregate activity for RSUs for theyear ended December 31, 2025:
| Shares | Weighted AverageGrant Date FairValue per Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 2,137 | $14.38 |
| Issued | 1,694 | 8.79 |
| Vested | (928) | 14.68 |
| Forfeited, expired, or canceled | (866) | 14.31 |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2025 | 2,037 | $9.53 |
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. The total fair value of RSUs vested during theyears ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $13,628, $15,314 and $17,858, respectively.
The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), which are included in the RSUs described above, to executive officers and other key employees that vests upon the achievement of specified market or internal performance goals. The PSUs are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period which is typically three to four years. Management performs a regular assessment to determine the likelihood of meeting the related metrics and adjusts the expense recognized if necessary. During the year ended December 31, 2025,29 PSUs were earned and issued and 262 PSUs were forfeited. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 216 PSUs that contained market conditions, with weighted average grant-date fair value of $6.85. To estimate the fair value of performance-based awards containing a market condition, the Company uses the Monte Carlo valuation model. For other performance-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 December 31, 2025, the achievement of remaining performance metrics is considered probable.
The Monte Carlo simulation assumptions used for the periods presented were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| Risk free interest rate | 3.7 | % |
| Expected volatility | 85.0 | % |
| Dividend yield | — | % |
| Expected term (in years) | 3.0 | |
Stock-based compensation expense–Aggregate stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations was as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Selling, general and administrative | $12,908 | $15,466 | $17,997 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense, before tax | 12,908 | 15,466 | 17,997 |
| Income tax benefit (expense) | — | — | 1,049 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense, after tax | $12,908 | $15,466 | $16,948 |
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 December 31, 2025, the Companyhad $13,370 of total unamortized compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.95 years.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future growth.
On the basis of this evaluation, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a valuation allowance of $117,049 and $75,244 has been applied against the Company's net deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the DTA considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as projections for growth.
The Company recorded a valuation allowance to equity at the IPO date against its deferred tax assets related to its investment in XPO Holdings of appro ximately $60,197.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $280,674 and $220,546, respectively. The federal net operating losses were generated after January 1, 2018, and therefore do not expire. Federal net operating losses generated after January 1, 2018 are subject to a taxable income limitation of 80% in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The remaining state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2029, unless previously utilized by the Company. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has foreign tax credits of $1,152 that begin to expire in 2030.
Utilization of the net operating losses and credit carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations due to ownership changes that have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as similar state and foreign provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating losses and R&D credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders.
The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and many state and foreign jurisdictions. XPO Holdings recently received an IRS audit letter for tax year 2023. As the audit has just commenced, the Company is currently not aware of any adjustments. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in state or other jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns remain open for examination in the U.S. for years 2022 through 2025.
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 didnot have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, and 2024. Accordingly, no interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were accrued on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Additionally, the Company didnot recognize any income tax expense related to interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which enacted significant changes to U.S. tax and related laws, including immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures and favorable impacts to the business interest expense limitation. The Company has incorporated the OBBBA changes in its income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2025. There is no material impact to the Company's effective income tax rate and net deferred income tax assets, as the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of XPO Inc
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 H&W Investco Blocker II, LP (the “Blocker Company”) in the merger of the Blocker Company with and into XPO Inc. (including net operating losses and the Blocker Company’s 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 December 31, 2025, 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. $88,439 of the TRA liability was not recorded as of December 31, 2025. 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 reco gnized as expense within its consolidated statements of operations.
Note 14 – 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 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 13,861 shares,16,034 shares and 17,026 shares for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The potentially dilutive impact of RSUs is calculated using the treasury stock method.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock:

Note 15 – Employee Benefit Plan
The Company maintains the Xponential Fitness, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”). Employees who have completed one month of service and have attained age 18 are eligible to participate in elective deferrals under the 401(k) Plan. Employees are eligible to participate for purposes of matching contributions upon completion of one year of service. On an annual basis, the Company will determine the formula for the discretionary matching contribution. In addition, the Company may make a discretionary nonelective contribution to the 401(k) Plan. During theyears ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded expense for matching contributions to the 401(k) Planof $902, $634 and $1,872, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the expense includes matching contributions to correct the Company’s 401(k) Plan noncompliance with the non-discrimination provisions.
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 $44,793 and $14,717, which was included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company maintains insurance coverage which may cover certain losses and legal costs incurred. When losses exceed the applicable policy deductible and realization of recovery of the loss from existing insurance policies is deemed probable, the Company records receivables from the insurance company for the excess amount. The Company recorded an insurance receivable of $5,000 and $0, which was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company received proceeds of $29,750 and $0 in connection with its claims for insurance reimbursement for previous legal expenses. Both the insurance receivable as of December 31, 2025 and the cash proceeds received during the year ended December 31, 2025 were recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Various factors could affect the timing and amount of recovery and it is reasonably possible that the Company will need to adjust the estimate for insurance receivable or receive additional proceeds, exceeding its current estimated insurance receivable, based on new or additional information. These changes could be material to the operating results and financial position of the Company for the period in which the adjustments to the receivable are recorded or additional proceeds are received.
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. On April 4, 2025, the parties executed a settlement agreement and filed a motion seeking court approval of the settlement. By order dated June 18, 2025 (the “Order”), the court enumerated requisite changes to the settlement structure. On September 25, 2025, the parties filed the Second Amended Complaint with exhibits containing the settlement structure and agreement and the parties are currently awaiting approval. The Company recorded an accrual in anticipation of this settlement, which was included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
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, adding three Company directors as defendants, as well as the underwriters from the Company’s April 6, 2022 secondary offering, additionally bringing claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act, and alleging a putative class period of July 23, 2021 through May 10, 2024. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on October 8, 2024. On December 6, 2024, plaintiffs filed their opposition to the motion to dismiss and also filed a motion to supplement the amended complaint, attaching a proposed supplemental complaint. On February 18, 2025, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion to supplement, denying defendants’ pending motion to dismiss as moot. On February 28, 2025, plaintiffs filed the supplemental complaint. On April 15, 2025, Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the supplemental complaint. Instead of opposing Defendants’ motion to dismiss, on May 6, 2025, plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint, which, among other things, adds three new entity defendants to the claim under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint on October 14, 2025. A hearing took place on December 3, 2025 but no decision has been rendered to date. The litigation is preliminary in nature and involves substantial uncertainties, and the Company believes that a loss is not probable or estimable at this time. However, 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 Anthony Geisler, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, and John Meloun, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, 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 as the Akande action. 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. On February 10, 2025, a third derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by Stefanie Nelson, purportedly on behalf of Xponential Fitness, Inc., alleging similar claims as the consolidated Akande and Ayers action. On March 31, 2025, the court consolidated the Nelson action with the previously consolidated Akande and Ayers action. On July 21, 2025, the Company received a demand from a purported shareholder making allegations similar to those made by Ayers, Akande and Nelson. The litigation and related demand are preliminary in nature and involve substantial uncertainties and the Company believes that a loss is not probable or estimable at this time. However, 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 franchisees consist of more than one individual, that it claimed to represent in this matter. The franchisees allege they were aggrieved by purported misstatements and omissions by the Company or an affiliate thereof. On January 7, 2025, plaintiffs added 50 additional current and former franchisees to their prior list. On April 22, 2025, as a result of mediation, the parties agreedin principle to settle this matter. This matter was settled on December 29, 2025 for $22,750, which settlement amount will be paid in four installments, commencing in fiscal year 2026 and concluding in fiscal year 2028. A total of 509 current and former franchisees are party to the settlement agreement.
On February 21, 2025, the Company received a complaint on behalf of a putative nationwide class alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The matter was settled on June 24, 2025 for $18.
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. On July 1, 2025, the SEC informed the Company that it had concluded its investigation without action.
On July 29, 2024, the Company received a civil investigative demand from the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) regarding the Company’s compliance with Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(a), and of the FTC’s Franchise Rule. On December 12, 2025, the Company received a letter from the staff of the FTC (the “FTC Staff”) stating that the FTC Staff was prepared to recommend the filing of a complaint against the Company seeking injunctive and monetary relief and civil penalties. On February 24, 2026, the FTC Staff indicated they will recommend the FTC Commissioners enter into a stipulated consent agreement (the “FTC Consent Order”) to fully resolve all of the FTC's claims. As part of the proposed FTC Consent Order, the Company has agreed, without any admission of liability, to pay $17,000 over the course of twelve months, and to desist and refrain from violating applicable laws. The FTC Consent Order is subject to approval by the FTC Commissioners and the court. The Company recorded an accrual of $17,000 in anticipation of this settlement, which was included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
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”). The Company is cooperating fully with the USAO in this investigation, 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 this investigation. At this stage, the Company is unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of this USAO investigation or estimate the range of any potential loss.
Other state regulatory matters– As previously disclosed, the Company received notice of an investigation from the State of Washington’s Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”) related to the Company's compliance with Washington state franchise laws. On August 12, 2025, without admission of wrongdoing, the Company entered into a Consent Order with the DFI to resolve the matter. As part of the Consent Order, the Company paid an immaterial administrative penalty and related costs and agreed to desist and refrain from violating applicable franchise laws. Also, on July 9, 2025, the Virginia Division of Securities and Retail Franchising (“VDSRF”) formally notified the Company regarding its investigation of the Company’s compliance with Virginia franchise disclosure laws. On February 12, 2026, without admission of wrongdoing, the Company signed a settlement order with VDSRF to resolve the matter, which the VDSRF will be countersigning shortly. As part of the VA Settlement Order, the Company paid an immaterial administrative penalty and related costs.
In addition, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Maryland (“MAG”) has previously contacted the Company regarding compliance with applicable franchise laws.

The Company has recorded an accrual in connection with potential settlement of this matter, which was included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
On December 12, 2024, the Company received a subpoena from the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York (the “NYAG”). The Company is cooperating fully with the NYAG in this investigation.

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. The Monte Carlo simulation assumptions used for the periods presented were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 · 2024 · 2023 | ||||||
| Risk free interest rate | 3.7 | % | 4.4 | % | 4.1 | % |
| Expected volatility | 81.7 | % | 67.5 | % | 65.0 | % |
| Expected term (in years) | 5.0 | 5.0 | 5.0 | |||
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an increase (decrease) of $(6,996), $9,462, and $(19,811) to contingent consideration, respectively, which was recorded as acquisition and transaction expense (income). At December 31, 2025 and 2024, contingent consideration of $10,309 and $17,305, was recorded as contingent consideration from acquisitions in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
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 $2, $135, and $164, during theyears ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which was recorded as interest expense. The Company recorded a change to contingent consideration of $7, $(1,414), and $878, during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which was recorded as acquisition and transaction expense (income). The Company paid the $133 and $949 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, via an offset of contingent liability due to the Seller with an accounts receivable balance of $133 and $949 owed from the Seller as the Company determined that a right of offset existed as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, contingent consideration of $0 and $124 was recorded as accrued expenses, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.
In addition, in connection with the October 2021 acqulisition of BFT, the Company entered into a Master Franchise Agreement (“BFT 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 on a global basis, excluding the United States and Canada. In exchange, the Company is entitled to recei3ve certain fees and royalties, including a percentage of the revenue generated by the Master Franchisee under the BFT MFA. The BFT MFA contained an option for the Company to repurchase the master franchise rights granted under the BFT MFA at a purchase price based on the Master Franchisee’s EBITDA, which had been extended to 2025. If the Company (or a designee of the Company) did not exercise the option pursuant to the terms of the BFT MFA, then the Company might have been required to pay a cancellation fee to the Master Franchisee. On December 31, 2024 the Company and the Master Franchisee entered into an Amended Master Franchise Agreement (“Amended BFT MFA”) pursuant to which, among other things, the option for the Company to repurchase the master franchise rights has ended and the Company is no longer required to pay a cancellation fee to the Master Franchisee. As part of the Amended BFT MFA, the Company agreed to pay the Master Franchisee a fee of $1,170, which is included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. The Amended BFT MFA grants the Master Franchisee the master franchise rights for the BFTTM brands on a global basis, excluding the United States and Canada, for a ten year period expiring on December 31, 2034.
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 contingent consideration remains payable notwithstanding the divestiture of the brand. The Company recorded additional contingent consideration of $77 and $90 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was recorded as interest expense. The Company recorded a change to contingent consideration of $42 and $345 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was recorded as acquisition and transaction expense. In addition, the Company paid contingent consideration of $500 and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025, contingent consideration of $500 and $457 was recorded as accrued expenses, respectively, and $0 and $424 was recorded as contingent consideration from acquisitions, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. In January 2026, the Company settled the remaining contingent consideration obligation of $500 through a non-cash offset, whereby the contingent liability payable to the seller was reduced and a corresponding reduction was recorded to accounts receivable due from the seller.
Letter of credit – In July 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party financing company who provides loans to the Company's qualified franchisees, pursuant to which the Company serves as guarantor for such loans. In addition, the Company issued a $750 standby letter of credit in connection therewith, which represents a portion of the Company’s potential aggregate liability under the guaranty. 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. The Company has determined the fair value of these guarantees at inception was not material, and as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a $1,348 and $150 accrual has been recorded for the Company’s probable obligation under its guaranty arrangement, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Lease guarantees– The Company has guaranteed lease agreements for certain franchisees. The Company’s potential obligation, as a result of its guarantees of leases, is approximately $4,560 and $3,617 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, a $0.3 and $2,034 accrual has been recorded for the Company’s potential obligation under its guaranty arrangement, respectively.
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 was expected to conclude in 2025; however the ultimate timing of the completion of the restructuring plan will depend on lease termination negotiations, which is expected to continue throughout 2026. 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 2026 totaling between approximately $7,400 to $11,000, 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. 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.
The components of the restructuring charges were as follows:

Note 18 – Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable and operating segment. The Company’s reportable segment is the Company’s franchise business of its health and wellness brands which require similar technology and operating strategies. The CODM evaluates the operating results through consolidated net income (loss). The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process and to monitor budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis in order to assess performance and allocate resources.
