Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to the

consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
We are one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of
fitness centers in the United States by number of members and locations, with a
highly recognized national brand. Our mission is to enhance people's lives by
providing a high-quality fitness experience in a welcoming, non-intimidating
environment, which we call the Judgement Free Zone, where anyone-and we mean
anyone-can feel they belong. Our bright, clean stores are typically 20,000
square feet, with a large selection of high-quality, purple and yellow Planet
Fitness-branded cardio, circuit- and weight-training equipment and friendly
staff trainers who offer unlimited free fitness instruction to all our members
in small groups through our PE@PF program. We offer this differentiated fitness
experience at only $10 per month for our standard membership. This exceptional
value proposition is designed to appeal to a broad population, including
occasional gym users and the approximately 80% of the U.S. and Canadian
populations over age 14 who are not gym members, particularly those who find the
traditional fitness club setting intimidating and expensive. We and our
franchisees fiercely protect Planet Fitness' community atmosphere-a place where
you do not need to be fit before joining and where progress toward achieving
your fitness goals (big or small) is supported and applauded by our staff and
fellow members.
As of June 30, 2020, we had more than 15.2 million members and 2,059 stores in
all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, the Dominican
Republic, Panama, Mexico and Australia. Of our 2,059 stores, 1,960 are
franchised and 99 are corporate-owned. As of June 30, 2020, we had commitments
to open more than 1,000 new stores under existing ADAs.
COVID-19 Impact
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic
related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic has caused unprecedented economic
volatility and uncertainty which has negatively impacted our recent operating
results. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we proactively closed all of our
stores system wide in March 2020. Our stores began reopening in early May as
local guidelines allowed, and as of June 30, 2020, 1,490 of our stores were open
and operating, of which 1,451 were franchisee-owned stores and 39 were
corporate-owned stores. As COVID-19 continues to impact areas in which our
stores operate, certain of our stores have had to re-close, and additional
stores may have to re-close, pursuant to local guidelines. As previously
announced, members will not be charged membership dues while our stores are
closed and will be credited for any membership dues paid for periods when our
stores were closed. We have experienced and continue to expect to experience
decreased new store development and remodels, as well as decreased replacement
equipment sales for 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We continue to reopen stores as local authorities issue guidelines authorizing
the reopening of fitness centers and we determine it is safe to do so. We have
recognized franchise revenue and corporate-owned store revenue associated with
any March membership dues collected prior to store closures as stores reopened,
and we continue to defer revenue for stores that have not yet opened. We may
have to defer further revenue in the future for stores that have been required
to re-close.
The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of its impact on our
business cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We anticipate that the
COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact our operating results in
future periods. As a result of COVID-19 we have experienced to date, and may
continue to experience, a decrease in our net membership base. We previously
withdrew our 2020 full-year guidance and are not providing updated guidance at
this time due to continued uncertainty around the duration and impact of
COVID-19.
We have taken the following actions to efficiently manage the business, as well
as increase liquidity and financial flexibility in order to mitigate the current
and anticipated future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business:
•      Board of Director and Executive Compensation: The Company's Chief
       Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial and Chief Digital and
       Information Officers have significantly reduced their base salaries. In
       addition, the base salaries of other members of senior management were

reduced in graduated amounts. The Board of Directors has suspended payment

of the annual retainer to non-employee directors.

• Corporate-owned stores: We temporarily furloughed all employees except the

store manager at each corporate-owned store location while the store

remains closed. These employees are able to continue receiving benefits

from the Company during store closures.

• Corporate Office: Our corporate headquarters has begun a phased reopening,


       with certain employees continuing to work remotely to ensure their
       well-being.

• Credit Facility: We fully drew down our $75.0 million Variable Funding


       Notes to provide additional liquidity and flexibility.


•      Share Repurchase: We have suspended share repurchases to preserve
       liquidity and flexibility.



                                       26

• Tax benefit arrangement payments: We delayed the payment of the annual tax


       benefit arrangement payments, typically made in April, to the third
       quarter.

• Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures may be deferred, including new

corporate-owned store openings and investments in existing corporate-owned

stores.




Although we expect the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to negatively impact the
Company's operations and cash flows, based on management's current expectations
and currently available information, the Company believes current cash and cash
from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements,
planned capital expenditures and interest and principal payments for at least
the next twelve months.
Our segments
We operate and manage our business in three business segments: Franchise,
Corporate-owned stores and Equipment. Our Franchise segment includes operations
related to our franchising business in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada,
the Dominican Republic, Panama, Mexico and Australia, including revenues and
expenses from the NAF. Our Corporate-owned stores segment includes operations
with respect to all corporate-owned stores throughout the United States and
Canada. The Equipment segment primarily includes the sale of equipment to our
United States franchisee-owned stores. We evaluate the performance of our
segments and allocate resources to them based on revenue and earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, referred to as Segment EBITDA.
Revenue and Segment EBITDA for all operating segments include only transactions
with unaffiliated customers and do not include intersegment transactions. The
tables below summarize the financial information for our segments for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. "Corporate and other," as it
relates to Segment EBITDA, primarily includes corporate overhead costs, such as
payroll and related benefit costs and professional services that are not
directly attributable to any individual segment.

How we assess the performance of our business
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of
performance and financial measures. The key measures for determining how our
business is performing include the number of new store openings, same store
sales for both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores, system-wide sales,
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, Adjusted net (loss) income, and
Adjusted net (loss) income per share, diluted. See "-Non-GAAP financial
measures" below for our definition of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net
(loss) income, and Adjusted net (loss) income per share, diluted and why we
present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net (loss) income, and Adjusted net
(loss) income per share, diluted, and for a reconciliation of our EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted net (loss) income to net (loss) income, the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, and a reconciliation of Adjusted net (loss) income per share,
diluted to net (loss) income per share, diluted, the most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Number of new store openings
The number of new store openings reflects stores opened during a particular
reporting period for both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores. Opening
new stores is an important part of our growth strategy and we expect the
majority of our future new stores will be franchisee-owned. Before we obtain the
certificate of occupancy or report any revenue for new corporate-owned stores,
we incur pre-opening costs, such as rent expense, labor expense and other
operating expenses. Some of our stores open with an initial start-up period of
higher than normal marketing and operating expenses, particularly as a
percentage of monthly revenue. New stores may not be profitable and their
revenue may not follow historical patterns.

(1) The term "debrand" refers to a franchisee-owned store whose right to use the

Planet Fitness brand and marks has been terminated in accordance with the

franchise agreement. We retain the right to prevent debranded stores from

continuing to operate as fitness centers. The term "consolidated" refers to

the combination of a franchisee's store with another store located in close

proximity with our prior approval. This often coincides with an enlargement,

re-equipment and/or refurbishment of the remaining store.

(2) The "stores operated" includes stores that have closed temporarily related

to the COVID-19 pandemic. All stores were closed in March 2020 in response

to COVID-19, and as of June 30, 2020, 1,490 were re-opened and operating, of

which 1,451 were franchisee-owned stores and 39 were corporate-owned stores.




Same store sales
Same store sales refers to year-over-year sales comparisons for the same store
sales base of both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores. We define the
same store sales base to include those stores that have been open and for which
monthly membership dues have been billed for longer than 12 months. We measure
same store sales based solely upon monthly dues billed to members of our
corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores.
Several factors affect our same store sales in any given period, including the
following:
• the number of stores that have been in operation for more than 12 months;


• the percentage mix and pricing of PF Black Card and standard memberships in

any period;

• growth in total net memberships per store;

• consumer recognition of our brand and our ability to respond to changing

consumer preferences;

• overall economic trends, particularly those related to consumer spending;




•     our and our franchisees' ability to operate stores effectively and
      efficiently to meet consumer expectations;

• marketing and promotional efforts;

• local competition;

• trade area dynamics; and

• opening of new stores in the vicinity of existing locations.




Consistent with common industry practice, we present same store sales as
compared to the same period in the prior year and which is calculated for a
given period by including only sales from stores that had sales in the
comparable months of both years. Same store sales of our international stores
are calculated on a constant currency basis, meaning that we translate the
current year's same store sales of our international stores at the same exchange
rates used in the prior year. Since opening new stores will be a significant
component of our revenue growth, same store sales is only one measure of how we
evaluate our performance.

Stores acquired from or sold to franchisees are removed from the
franchisee-owned or corporate-owned same store sales base, as applicable, upon
the ownership change and for the 12 months following the date of the ownership
change. These stores are included in the corporate-owned or franchisee-owned
same store sales base, as applicable, following the 12th month after the
acquisition or sale. These stores remain in the system-wide same store sales
base in all periods.
As a result of the closure of all of our stores due to COVID-19 in March 2020, a
majority of stores remained closed for a portion of the three and six months
ended June 30, 2020. Because less than 50% of our stores in the same store sales
base had membership billings in all of the months included in the three and six
months ending June 30, 2020, we are not providing same store sales comparisons
for these periods.
The following table shows our same store sales for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Total monthly dues and annual fees from members (system-wide sales)
We define system-wide sales as total monthly dues and annual fees billed by us
and our franchisees. System-wide sales is an operating measure that includes
sales by franchisees that are not revenue realized by the Company in accordance
with GAAP, as well as sales by our corporate-owned stores. While we do not
record sales by franchisees as revenue, and such sales are not included in our
consolidated financial statements, we believe that this operating measure aids
in understanding how we derive royalty revenue and is important in evaluating
our performance. We review the total amount of dues we collect from our members
on a monthly basis, which allows us to assess changes in the performance of our
corporate-owned and franchisee-owned stores from period to period, any
competitive pressures, local or regional membership traffic patterns and general
market conditions that might impact our store performance. We collect monthly
dues on or around the 17th of every month. We collect annual fees once per year
from each member based upon when the member signed his or her membership
agreement. System-wide sales were $86 million and $851 million, during the three

Non-GAAP financial measures
We refer to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as we use these measures to evaluate our
operating performance and we believe these measures provide useful information
to investors in evaluating our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as
presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are supplemental measures of our
performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as substitutes for
U.S. GAAP metrics such as net (loss) income or any other performance measures
derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, in the future we may incur expenses
or charges such as those used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our
future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We have also
disclosed Segment EBITDA as an important financial metric utilized by the
Company to evaluate performance and allocate resources to segments in accordance
with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. As part of such disclosure in "Our Segments"
within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, the Company has provided a reconciliation from income from
operations to Total Segment EBITDA, which is equal to the Non-GAAP financial
metric EBITDA.
We define EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. We believe that EBITDA, which eliminates the impact of certain
expenses that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance,
provides useful information to investors to assess the performance of our
segments as well as the business as a whole. Our board of directors also uses
EBITDA as a key metric to assess the performance of management. We define
Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain additional non-cash and other
items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of the
Company's core operations. These items include certain purchase accounting
adjustments, stock offering-related costs, and certain other charges and gains.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an

appropriate measure of operating performance in addition to EBITDA because it
eliminates the impact of other items that we believe reduce the comparability of
our underlying core business performance from period to period and is therefore
useful to our investors in comparing the core performance of our business from
period to period.
A reconciliation of net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is set forth
below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

(1) Represents the impact of revenue-related purchase accounting adjustments

associated with the 2012 Acquisition. At the time of the 2012 Acquisition,

the Company maintained a deferred revenue account, which consisted of

deferred ADA fees, deferred franchise fees, and deferred enrollment fees

that the Company billed and collected up front but recognizes for U.S. GAAP

purposes at a later date. In connection with the 2012 Acquisition, it was

determined that the carrying amount of deferred revenue was greater than

the fair value assessed in accordance with ASC 805-Business Combinations,

which resulted in a write-down of the carrying value of the deferred

revenue balance upon application of acquisition push-down accounting under

ASC 805. These amounts represent the additional revenue that would have

been recognized in these periods if the write-down to deferred revenue had

not occurred in connection with the application of acquisition pushdown

accounting.

(2) Represents the impact of rent-related purchase accounting adjustments. In

accordance with guidance in ASC 805 - Business Combinations, in connection

with the 2012 Acquisition, the Company's deferred rent liability was

required to be written off as of the acquisition date and rent was recorded

on a straight-line basis from the acquisition date through the end of the

lease term. This resulted in higher overall recorded rent expense each

period than would have otherwise been recorded had the deferred rent

liability not been written off as a result of the acquisition push down

accounting applied in accordance with ASC 805. Adjustments of $41, $44,

$82, and $88 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,

respectively, reflect the difference between the higher rent expense

recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP since the acquisition and the rent

expense that would have been recorded had the 2012 Acquisition not

occurred. Adjustments of $88, $73, $189, and $152 in the three and six

months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are due to the

amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases. All of the rent related

purchase accounting adjustments are adjustments to rent expense which is

included in store operations on our consolidated statements of operations.

(3) Represents severance expense recorded in connection with an equity award

modification.

(4) Represents costs associated with new corporate-owned stores incurred prior

to the store opening, including payroll-related costs, rent and occupancy

expenses, marketing and other store operating supply expenses.

(5) Represents gains and losses related to the adjustment of our tax benefit

arrangements primarily due to changes in our effective tax rate.

(6) Represents certain other charges and gains that we do not believe reflect


      our underlying business performance.

Our presentation of Adjusted net (loss) income and Adjusted net (loss) income
per share, diluted, assumes that all net (loss) income is attributable to Planet
Fitness, Inc., which assumes the full exchange of all outstanding Holdings Units
for shares of Class A common stock of Planet Fitness, Inc., adjusted for certain
non-recurring items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations.
Adjusted net (loss) income per share, diluted, is calculated by dividing
Adjusted net (loss) income by the total shares of Class A common stock
outstanding plus any dilutive options and restricted stock units as calculated
in accordance with U.S. GAAP and assuming the full exchange of all outstanding
Holdings Units and corresponding Class B common stock as of the beginning of
each period presented. Adjusted net (loss) income and Adjusted net (loss) income
per share, diluted, are supplemental measures of operating performance that do
not represent, and should not be considered, alternatives to net (loss) income
and earnings per share, as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe
Adjusted net (loss) income and Adjusted net (loss) income per share, diluted,
supplement U.S. GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our
performance period-over-period. A reconciliation of Adjusted net (loss) income
to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and the
computation of Adjusted net (loss) income per share, diluted, are set forth

compared to $54.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of

closures beginning in March 2020.

expenses as a result of COVID-19 related closures beginning in March 2020,
partially offset by higher expenses as a result of the acquisition of four
franchisee-owned stores on May 30, 2019, the acquisition of 12 franchisee-owned
stores on December 16, 2019, and the opening of seven corporate-owned stores
since April 1, 2019.

was primarily due to lower variable compensation expense, decreased travel and
lower equipment placement expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2020
related to COVID-19 compared to the prior year quarter.
National advertising fund expense
National advertising fund expense was $10.9 million in the three months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to $12.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019,

2019, a decrease of $15.5 million, or 92.2%, driven by lower equipment sales to
new and existing franchisee-owned stores in the three months ended June 30, 2020
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of COVID-19 related
closures beginning in March 2020. Depreciation and amortization was $1.3 million
for both the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2020 and six months ended June 30,
2019

franchise revenue decreases in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2019 were due to COVID-19 related store closures
beginning in March 2020.
Commission income, which is included in our franchise segment, was $0.4 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2019. The $1.6 million decrease was primarily attributable to
fewer franchisees on our commission structure compared to the prior year period
and store closures associated with COVID-19.
National advertising fund revenue was $14.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2020, compared to $24.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Revenue from our corporate-owned stores segment was $49.9 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $77.7 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2019, a decrease of $27.8 million, or 35.8%. The decrease was primarily
attributable to store closures associated with COVID-19.
Equipment segment revenue was $38.0 million in the six months ended June 30,
2020, compared to $115.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, a
decrease of $77.2 million, or 67.0%. The decrease was driven by lower equipment
sales to new and existing franchisee-owned stores in the six months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of
COVID-19 related closures beginning in March 2020.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue was $30.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared
to $88.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $58.6
million, or 65.9%. Cost of revenue, which primarily relates to our equipment
segment, decreased as a result of lower equipment sales to new and existing
franchisee-owned stores in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of COVID-19 related closures
beginning in March 2020.

Store operation expenses, which relate to our corporate-owned stores segment,
were $40.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $41.1
million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $0.2 million, or
0.6%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating and marketing
expenses as a result of COVID-19 related closures beginning in March 2020,
partially offset by higher expenses as a result of the acquisition of four
franchisee-owned stores on May 30, 2019, the acquisition of 12 franchisee-owned
stores on December 16, 2019, and the opening of seven corporate-owned stores
since January 1, 2019.
Selling, general and administrative

months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $37.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2019, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 11.3%. The $4.2 million decrease
was primarily due to lower variable compensation expense, reduced travel and
lower equipment placement expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020
related to COVID-19 compared to the prior year quarter.
National advertising fund expense
National advertising fund expense was $26.1 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to $24.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019,
as a result of the higher store count, partially offset by decreased advertising
and marketing expense on a per store basis as a result of COVID-19.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense consists of the depreciation of property
and equipment, including leasehold and building improvements and equipment.
Amortization expense consists of amortization related to our intangible assets,
including customer relationships and non-compete agreements.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $25.8 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to $20.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019,
an increase of $5.3 million, or 26.0%. The increase was primarily attributable
to the acquisition and opening of corporate-owned stores since January 1, 2019
and depreciation on new information systems assets.
Other loss
Other loss was $0 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.2 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Interest income
Interest income was $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared
to $3.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of
lower interest rates in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2019.
Interest expense
Interest expense primarily consists of interest on long-term debt as well as the
amortization of deferred financing costs.
Interest expense was $40.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020
compared to $29.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is
primarily attributable to the issuance of $550.0 million of 2019 Notes in
December 2019.
Other expense
Other expense was $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $4.8
million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Other expense was primarily
attributable to foreign currency losses, partially offset by a gain on the
remeasurement of our tax

benefit arrangements due to changes in our effective tax rate in the six months
ended June 30, 2020. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, the other expense is
attributable to the remeasurement of our tax benefit arrangements primarily due
to changes in our effective tax rates.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was a benefit of $6.0 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2020, compared to expense of $16.6 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was
primarily attributable to the Company's net loss in the six months ended
June 30, 2020 as compared to net (loss) income for the six months ended June 30,
2019, primarily as a result of COVID-19 related closures beginning in March
2020.
Segment results
Franchise
Segment EBITDA for the franchise segment was $40.3 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2020 compared to $97.2 million in the six months ended June 30,
2019, a decrease of $56.9 million, or 58.6%. The franchise segment EBITDA
decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2019 was primarily due to COVID-19 related store closures beginning in
March 2020. Depreciation and amortization was $3.9 million and $4.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Corporate-owned stores
Segment EBITDA for the corporate-owned stores segment was $5.7 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $33.7 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2019, a decrease of $28.0 million, or 83.2%. The corporate-owned store
segment EBITDA decrease was due to COVID-19 related store closures beginning in
March 2020. Depreciation and amortization was $14.6 million and $11.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in
depreciation and amortization was primarily attributable the acquisition and
opening of corporate-owned stores since January 1, 2019.
Equipment
Segment EBITDA for the equipment segment was $7.7 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2020 compared to $27.2 million in the six months ended June 30,
2019, a decrease of $19.5 million, or 71.8%, driven by lower equipment sales to
new and existing franchisee-owned stores in the six months ended June 30, 2020
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of COVID-19 related
closures beginning in March 2020. Depreciation and amortization was $2.5 million
for both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of June 30, 2020, we had $423.6 million of cash and cash equivalents.
We require cash principally to fund day-to-day operations, to finance capital
investments, to service our outstanding debt and tax benefit arrangements and to
address our working capital needs. Based on our current level of operations, we
believe that with the available cash balance, the cash generated from our
operations, and amounts we have drawn under our Variable Funding Notes will be
adequate to meet our anticipated debt service requirements and obligations under
the tax benefit arrangements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for
at least the next 12 months. We believe that we will be able to meet these
obligations even if we continue to experience a reduction in sales and profits
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our ability to continue to fund these
items and continue to reduce debt could be adversely affected by the occurrence
of any of the events described under "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, "Risk Factors" in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended March 31, 2020, and "Risk factors" in the Annual Report. There can be no
assurance, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations
or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, including our Securitized
Senior Notes, or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our future operating
performance and our ability to service, extend or refinance the Senior Secured
Credit facility will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial,
business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, including
potential future impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net increase in cash                       $      31,165       $  40,987


Operating activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities
was $13.0 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $82.5
million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $95.5 million. Of
the decrease, $104.1 million is due to lower net (loss) income after adjustments
to reconcile net (loss) income to net cash provided by operating activities in
the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2019. This decrease was partially offset by $8.7 million of favorable changes in
working capital primarily in accounts receivable and payables to related parties
pursuant to tax benefit arrangements, partially offset by unfavorable changes in
working capital primarily from other assets, other current assets and income
taxes.
Investing activities
Cash flow used in investing activities related to the following capital
expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities
was $21.0 million compared to $33.7 million in the six months ended June 30,
2019, a decrease of $12.7 million. The primary driver for the decrease in cash
used in investing activities was the acquisition of franchisee-owned stores in
the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0 in the six months ended
June 30, 2020, partially offset by $2.2 million higher cash used for additions
to property, plant and equipment as broken out in the table above.
Financing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing
activities was $66.0 million compared to cash used of $8.4 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $74.4 million. The primary driver of
the increase in six months ended June 30, 2020 was the Company's incurrence of
$75.0 million of borrowings under its Variable Funding Notes.
Securitized Financing Facility
On August 1, 2018, the Master Issuer, a limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote,
wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC, entered into the 2018
Indenture under which the Master Issuer may issue multiple series of notes. On
the same date, the Master Issuer issued the 2018 Class A-2-I Notes with an
initial principal amount of $575 million and the 2018 Class A-2-II Notes with an
initial principal amount of $625 million. In connection with the issuance of the
2018 Notes, the Master Issuer also entered into the Variable Funding Notes that
allow for the incurrence of up to $75 million in revolving loans and/or letters
of credit, which the Company fully drew down on March 20, 2020. On December 3,
2019 the Master Issuer issued the 2019 Notes with an initial principal amount of
$550 million. The 2019 Notes were issued under the Indenture. The Securitized
Senior Notes were issued in a securitization transaction pursuant to which most
of the Company's domestic revenue-generating assets, consisting principally of
franchise-related agreements, certain corporate-owned store assets, equipment
supply agreements and intellectual property and license agreements for the use
of intellectual property, were assigned to the Master Issuer and certain other
limited-purpose,

                                       41

Table of Contents



bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the
"securitization entities") that act as guarantors of the Securitized Senior
Notes and that have pledged substantially all of their assets to secure the
Securitized Senior Notes.
Interest and principal payments on the Notes are payable on a quarterly basis.
The requirement to make such quarterly principal payments on the Notes is
subject to certain financial conditions set forth in the Indenture. The legal
final maturity date of the 2018 Notes is in September 2048, but the Anticipated
Repayment Dates of the 2018 Class A-2-I Notes and the 2018 Class A-2-II Notes
are September 2022 and September 2025 respectively, unless earlier prepaid to
the extent permitted under the Indenture. The legal final maturity date of the
2019 Notes is in December 2049, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier
prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the 2019 Notes will be
repaid in December 2029. If the Master Issuer has not repaid or refinanced the
Notes prior to the respective Anticipated Repayment Dates, additional interest
will accrue pursuant to the Indenture.
The Variable Funding Notes will accrue interest at a variable interest rate
based on (i) the prime rate, (ii) overnight federal funds rates, (iii) the
London interbank offered rate for U.S. Dollars, or (iv) with respect to advances
made by conduit investors, the weighted average cost of, or related to, the
issuance of commercial paper allocated to fund or maintain such advances, in
each case plus any applicable margin and as specified in the Variable Funding
Notes. There is a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Variable Funding
Notes of 0.5% based on utilization. It is anticipated that the principal and
interest on the Variable Funding Notes will be repaid in full on or prior to
September 2023, subject to two additional one-year extension options. Following
the anticipated repayment date (and any extensions thereof) additional interest
will accrue on the Variable Funding Notes equal to 5.0% per year.
In connection with the issuance of the 2018 Notes and 2019 Notes, the Company
incurred debt issuance costs of $27.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively.
The debt issuance costs are being amortized to "Interest expense" through the
Anticipated Repayment Dates of the Notes utilizing the effective interest rate
method.
The Securitized Senior Notes are subject to covenants and restrictions customary
for transactions of this type, including (i) that the Master Issuer maintains
specified reserve accounts to be used to make required payments in respect of
the Securitized Senior Notes, (ii) provisions relating to optional and mandatory
prepayments and the related payment of specified amounts, including specified
make-whole payments in the case of the Notes under certain circumstances, (iii)
certain indemnification payments in the event, among other things, the assets
pledged as collateral for the Securitized Senior Notes are in stated ways
defective or ineffective, (iv) a cap on non-securitized indebtedness of $50
million (provided that the Company may incur non-securitized indebtedness in
excess of such amount, subject to the leverage ratio cap described below, under
certain conditions, including if the relevant lenders execute a non-disturbance
agreement that acknowledges the bankruptcy-remote status of the Master Issuer
and its subsidiaries and of their respective assets), (v) a leverage ratio cap
on the Company of 7.0x (calculated without regard for any indebtedness subject
to the $50 million cap) and (vi) covenants relating to recordkeeping, access to
information and similar matters.
Pursuant to a parent company support agreement, we have agreed to cause our
subsidiary to perform each of its obligations (including any indemnity
obligations) and duties under the Management Agreement and under the
contribution agreements entered into in connection with the securitized
financing facility, in each case as and when due. To the extent that our
subsidiary has not performed any such obligation or duty within the prescribed
time frame after such obligation or duty was required to be performed, we have
agreed to either (i) perform such obligation or duty or (ii) cause such
obligations or duties to be performed on our behalf.
The Securitized Senior Notes are also subject to customary rapid amortization
events provided for in the Indenture, including events tied to failure to
maintain stated debt service coverage ratios, certain manager termination
events, an event of default, and the failure to repay or refinance the Notes on
the applicable scheduled Anticipated Repayment Dates. The Securitized Senior
Notes are also subject to certain customary events of default, including events
relating to non-payment of required interest, principal, or other amounts due on
or with respect to the Securitized Senior Notes, failure to comply with
covenants within certain time frames, certain bankruptcy events, breaches of
specified representations and warranties, failure of security interests to be
effective, and certain judgments.
In accordance with the Indenture, certain cash accounts have been established
with the Trustee for the benefit of the trustee and the noteholders, and are
restricted in their use. The Company holds restricted cash which primarily
represents cash collections held by the Trustee, interest, principal, and
commitment fee reserves held by the Trustee related to the Securitized Senior
Notes. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had restricted cash held by the Trustee
of $70.4 million, which includes pre-funding of principal and interest payments
through the remainder of 2020. Restricted cash has been combined with cash and
cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances in
the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of June 30, 2020, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of guarantees
of lease agreements for certain franchisees up to a maximum period of ten years
with earlier expiration dates possible if certain conditions are met. Our
maximum total obligation under these lease guarantee agreements is approximately
$14.4 million and would only require payment upon default by the primary
obligor. The estimated fair value of these guarantees at June 30, 2020 was not
material, and no accrual has been recorded for our potential obligation under
these arrangements.
Critical accounting policies and use of estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and use
of estimates from those described under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report.
