Analysis · XPOF · Trade & Services
A sharp 13% year-over-year revenue decline to $66.0 million in Q2 2026 sent Xponential Fitness to a net loss of $4.8 million, missing expectations. The reversal in North America same-store sales—down 6.8% after growing 2.4% a year ago—underscores weakening franchisee health, while equipment and merchandise revenue collapsed amid a logistics transition and fewer studio openings. Management responded by slashing full-year guidance: revenue is now seen down ~19% at the midpoint and Adjusted EBITDA down ~16%, signaling that the turnaround will take longer than anticipated. With only $25 million in cash against $522 million in debt, the company burned $25.7 million in operating cash this quarter, intensifying liquidity pressure. This earnings miss and guidance cut arrive against a backdrop of recent executive departures and activist investor involvement, raising questions about the pace of recovery.
