Quotes:

  • Eric Affeldt, chief executive officer: "We delivered our tenth quarter of consecutive revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth. Since going public we have grown revenue and adjusted EBITDA by over 30% by implementing a successful three pronged strategy focused on organic growth, reinvention and acquisitions. Part of this strategy anticipated reinvention of clubs we acquired in 2014 and 2015. Much of this planned investment is now complete. As a result, the Company is now prepared to de-lever its balance sheet below 4.0x. We plan to de-lever our balance sheet by continuing to grow adjusted EBITDA, reducing capital spend, including fewer planned same-store reinventions in 2017, and using excess cash to pay down debt."
  • Mark Burnett, president and chief operating officer: "We delivered another quarter of adjusted EBITDA growth benefiting from improved performance at recently reinvented and acquired clubs. The Sequoia portfolio continues to perform very well and our results there are meeting our underwriting expectations. We are pleased by the early member response and increased member activity at these clubs. Likewise, our O.N.E. offering continues to appeal to our members with approximately 54% of our memberships now enrolled in our O.N.E. offering."
  • Curt McClellan, chief financial officer: "Year-to-date consolidated same-store adjusted EBITDA has grown 5.5% and adjusted EBITDA margins have improved 100 bps to 28%. Nevertheless, same-store revenue in the third quarter was slower than we anticipated driven by weather related issues affecting golf playability and negatively impacting rounds played and a la carte food and beverage spend at multiple clubs. Based on our performance year-to-date, we are narrowing our full-year fiscal 2016 outlook accordingly. Our leverage is currently 4.4x and we are initiating a strategy to de-lever the Company below 4x over the next 12-18 months. We will continue to pursue value enhancing acquisitions including individually-owned and member-owned clubs, yet we do not anticipate any near term levering event for the Company. Additionally, we have actively taken steps towards this objective by lowering future interest expense by refinancing certain of our mortgage debt and repricing our term loan facility this quarter."

Company Outlook:
The following guidance is based on current management expectations. All financial guidance amounts are estimates and subject to change, including as a result of matters discussed under the "Forward-Looking Statements" cautionary language which follows, and the Company undertakes no duty to update its guidance.

The Company reduces its anticipated revenue to a range of $1,080 million to $1,090 million and narrows its anticipated adjusted EBITDA to a range of $245 million to $249 million, while maintaining the midpoint at $247 million. This outlook implies year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 percent, and adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 5.0 to 6.5 percent.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, interest and investment income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus or minus impairments, gain or loss on disposition and acquisition of assets, losses from discontinued operations, loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash and other adjustments, equity-based compensation expense and a deferred revenue adjustment. The deferred revenue adjustment to revenues and Adjusted EBITDA within each segment represents estimated deferred revenue using current membership life estimates related to initiation payments that would have been recognized in the applicable period but for the application of purchase accounting. Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definition of Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement governing the Secured Credit Facilities and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, more meaningful than or as a substitute for a measure of performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of net income or loss or operating cash flows as determined under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before used as measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to varying methods of calculation.

The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable and most comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company has not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA guidance included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to impairments and disposition of assets, income taxes and centralization and transformation costs which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. We expect the variability of these charges to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this press release contains statements relating to future results (including certain projections and business trends) that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to current or historical facts and often include words such as "may", "should", "expect", "intend", "will", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "predict", "potential" or "continue", or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology in this press release and any attachment to identify forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in this press release, including statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, beliefs, business strategies, future events, business conditions, results of operations, financial position and business outlook, earnings guidance, business trends and other information are forward-looking statements.

All expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and the Company believes there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.
