David Berg, Executive Chairman and CEO of European Wax Center, Inc. stated, “We are pleased that our third quarter results were in line with the revised expectations we provided in August. Over the past three months, I’ve been immersing myself in the business, refining our key focus areas and developing a robust action plan focused on driving new guests and ticket growth. Over time, we believe our efforts will enhance unit economics and financial returns for our franchise partners, enable thoughtful growth for European Wax Center, and deliver long-term value to our stakeholders.”
Mr. Berg continued, “As we look ahead, we are encouraged that our core guests remain committed to this brand, enabling us to reiterate our fiscal 2024 financial outlook. That said, as we navigate current market dynamics and continue to assess near-term development plans, we are updating our fiscal 2024 outlook for net new center openings. We remain confident in the strength of the European Wax Center business model and its ability to generate strong cash flow and sustained top-line, bottom-line and unit growth over the long-term.”
Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2024 versus Fiscal 2023
- Franchisees opened 12 and closed 7 centers. We ended the quarter with 1,064 centers, representing a 3.7% increase versus 1,026 centers in prior year period.
- System-wide sales of $240.2 million decreased 0.2% from $240.7 million in the prior year period.
- Total revenue of $55.4 million decreased 0.5% from $55.7 million in the prior year period.
- Same-store sales decreased 0.5%.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $17.5 million increased 21.6% from $14.4 million in the prior year period. SG&A as a percent of total revenue increased 570 basis points to 31.5% from 25.8% primarily due to nonroutine expenses related to executive severance, the Company’s return-to-office mandate, and a prospective debt offering the Company decided to terminate during the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
- Interest expense of $6.3 million decreased from $6.5 million in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in interest income from the Company’s short-term investments.
- Income tax expense was $0.8 million compared to $1.8 million, and the effective tax rate was 28.7% compared to 30.0% in the prior year period.
- Net income of $2.0 million decreased 50.7% from $4.1 million, and Adjusted net income of $5.5 million decreased 8.3% from $6.0 million in the prior year period.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $18.4 million decreased 4.4% from $19.3 million in the prior year period. As a percent of total revenue, Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 140 basis points to 33.2% from 34.6%.
- The Company repurchased $20.1 million of its Class A Common Stock during the period, bringing cumulative repurchases under the Company’s current $50 million authorization to $30.1 million.
Year-to-Date Results through the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2024 versus Fiscal 2023
- Franchisees opened 33 and closed 13 centers in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.
- System-wide sales of $721.7 million increased 1.2% from $713.3 million in the prior year-to-date period driven by net new centers opened over the past twelve months.

- Same-store sales were flat.
- SG&A of $43.9 million decreased 4.2% from $45.8 million in the prior year-to-date period. SG&A as a percent of total revenue improved 160 basis points to 26.2% from 27.8%, primarily due to lower payroll-related expenses and the receipt of proceeds from a legal judgment, partially offset by increased technology expenses and costs related to a prospective debt offering the Company decided to terminate during the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
- Interest expense of $19.0 million decreased from $20.1 million in the prior year-to-date period, primarily due to increased interest income.
- Income tax expense was $3.8 million compared to $4.0 million, and the effective tax rate was 24.4% compared to 31.9% in the prior year-to-date period.
- Net income of $11.6 million increased 36.4% from $8.5 million, and Adjusted net income of $17.5 million increased 7.3% from $16.3 million in the prior year-to-date period.

As was embedded in its previous net new center openings outlook, the Company continues to expect 43 gross new center openings in fiscal 2024.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted net income. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they enable management, investors, and others to assess the operating performance of the Company.We define EBITDA as net income (loss) 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 business.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) 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 our core operations. These items include non-cash equity-based compensation expense, non-cash gains and losses on remeasurement of our tax receivable agreement liability, contractual cash interest on our tax receivable agreement liability, transaction costs and other one-time expenses and/or gains.
We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.
We define Adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for the impact of certain additional non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of our core operations. These items include non-cash equity-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment costs, non-cash gains and losses on remeasurement of our tax receivable agreement liability, contractual cash interest on our tax receivable agreement liability, transaction costs and other one-time expenses and/or gains.
We define net debt as total long-term debt plus the current portion of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.
Please refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents located at the end of this release. This release includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income. These measures will differ from net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations at the end of this release. We are not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, guidance for net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income (loss) to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in net income (loss).
Glossary of Terms for Our Key Business Metrics
System-Wide Sales. System-wide sales represent sales from same day services, retail sales and cash collected from wax passes for all centers in our network, including both franchisee-owned and corporate-owned centers. While we do not record franchised system-wide sales as revenue, our royalty revenue is calculated based on a percentage of franchised system-wide sales, which are 6.0% of sales, net of retail product sales, as defined in the franchise agreement. This measure allows us to better assess changes in our royalty revenue, our overall center performance, the health of our brand and the strength of our market position relative to competitors. Our system-wide sales growth is driven by net new center openings as well as increases in same-store sales.Same-Store Sales. Same-store sales reflect the change in year-over-year sales from services performed and retail sales for the same-store base. We define the same-store base to include those centers open for at least 52 full weeks. If a center is closed for greater than six consecutive days, the center is deemed a closed center and is excluded from the calculation of same-store sales until it has been reopened for a continuous 52 full weeks. This measure highlights the performance of existing centers, while excluding the impact of new center openings and closures. We review same-store sales for corporate-owned centers as well as franchisee-owned centers. Same-store sales growth is driven by increases in the number of transactions and average transaction size.
