YogaWorks, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results
LOS ANGELES, May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YogaWorks, Inc. (the “Company”), one of the largest providers of high-quality yoga instruction in the U.S., today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Rosanna McCollough, President and Chief Executive Officer of YogaWorks, stated, “We started fiscal 2019 on a strong note and are extremely pleased to have delivered financial results at the high end of our expectations as we remain focused on growing our base business and delivering improved EBITDA performance. We are particularly pleased with our revenue performance given our decision not to anniversary the discounted class packages which were offered throughout the first quarter of last year. Our heightened focus on memberships, where we achieve greater lifetime value of a customer, have been paying dividends with membership sales growth of 11% sequentially and 14% versus the first quarter of last year, on a same store sales basis. In addition, we continued to create innovative programming and further diversified our class offerings, drove increased demand through enhanced marketing initiatives, and took steps to further optimize our studio base. Overall, we are excited to see many of our initiatives are beginning to bear fruit and look forward to updating you on our continued progress. Importantly, the work we are doing today will set us up nicely for long term scalable growth and we still have tremendous opportunity ahead.”

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial measures called Adjusted EBITDA, Studio-Level EBITDA, and Adjusted net loss which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these financial measures to understand and evaluate its business. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of the core business operations. Studio-Level EBITDA is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of the studios. Adjusted net loss is a supplemental measure of operating performance that is adjusted for certain non-recurring items that we do not believe directly reflect the core business operations. Accordingly, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, Studio-Level EBITDA, and Adjusted net loss provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results in the same manner as management and the Board. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA and Studio-Level EBITDA
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Studio-Level EBITDA to Net loss:

Adjusted studio operating cash flow
Adjusted studio operating cash flow is a non-GAAP measure reflecting net cash provided by studio operating activities, excluding other general and administrative expenses that are corporate and regional expenses and not incurred by our studios, interest and provision for income taxes that we considered as corporate expenses, and other changes in operating assets and liabilities. We use adjusted studio operating cash flow as a key liquidity measure for the purpose of evaluating our ability to generate cash at the studio level. We also believe adjusted studio operating cash flow provides our investors with useful information regarding our studio historical cash flow results. This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP, and adjusted studio operating cash flow does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Use of the term adjusted studio operating cash flow may differ from similar measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted studio operating cash flow is reconciled from net cash provided by operating activities determined under GAAP as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| (in thousands) | 2019 | 2018 | ||||||
| Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities | $ | (4,683 | ) | $ | (2,663 | ) | ||

| Interest and provision for income taxes (d) | (44 | ) | (23 | ) | ||||
| Adjusted studio operating cash flow | $ | 2,105 | $ | 3,069 | ||||

(b) Represents change in deferred revenue of acquired studios.
(c) Represents general and administrative expenses that are corporate and regional expenses and not incurred by our studios, and which are primarily comprised of expenses related to (i) wages and benefits of corporate and regional employees, (ii) non-studio rent, utilities and maintenance, (iii) corporate and regional marketing and advertising, and (iv) corporate professional fees. Other general and administrative expenses exclude any general and administrative expenses related to deferred rent, stock-based compensation, and other noncash expenses included in the cash flows from operating activities.
