PLNT’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 10.6%.
Trend in Estimate Revision of PLNT
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at 85 cents, indicating a fall of 1.2% from 86 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $355.8 million, suggesting growth of 4.4% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
Let's look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors Likely to Shape PLNT’s Quarterly Results
Planet Fitness’ second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from existing membership pricing, a favorable Black Card mix, recently opened clubs and replacement equipment sales. This and contributions from the corporate clubs are likely to have aided the company’s top line in the quarter to be reported. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for corporate-owned club revenues is pegged at $146.1 million compared with $138.9 million reported in the prior-year quarter.
Emphasis on equipment mix is likely to have aided the company’s performance in the second quarter. Planet Fitness expects the quarter to account for approximately 30% of its full-year replacement equipment revenues. Continued re-equipment demand across the franchise system is likely to have supported quarterly performance.
However, softer join trends, continued attrition pressure and the decision to pause the nationwide Black Card price increase are likely to have weighed on quarterly performance. Member joins remained below expectations through March and early April, while monthly attrition is expected to remain in the upper half of 3-4% range.
Competitive pressure in the South Central and Southeast regions, along with financial strain among lower-income consumers, may have presented additional challenges. The absence of the planned Black Card price increase and weaker net member growth are likely to have constrained same-club sales growth in the quarter under review.
