Exhibit 99.2
TOWN SPORTS INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. ISSUES CALENDAR 2007 GUIDANCE.
NEW YORK, January 4, 2007 /PRNewswire/ — Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (TSI, or the Company) (NASDAQ: CLUB), a leading owner of health clubs located primarily in major cities from Washington, DC north through New England, operating under the brand names New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs and Philadelphia Sports Clubs, is issuing guidance for the calendar year 2007.
2007 Guidance:
The Company expects to open approximately 15 new clubs in 2007, up from preliminary guidance given on its third quarter 2006 conference call of 10 to 12 new clubs. Based upon the current business environment and current trends in our marketplace, the Company currently expects revenues for the year to be in the range of $475 to $480 million, a 10% to 11% growth over 2006. TSI expects calendar 2007 net income to be in the range of $19 to $20 million and earnings per share (EPS) to be in the range of $0.73 to $0.76. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties in any forward looking statements. The Company will give additional guidance for 2007 on its calendar 2006 year-end conference call.
Robert Giardina, Chief Executive Officer of TSI, commented, “We are pleased to have a strong pipeline of new clubs that will allow us to grow our square footage and clubs by approximately 10% in 2007. While this level of expansion has a slightly dilutive impact on earnings in the first year, it will enable us to accelerate our rate of growth since becoming public in June 2006.” Mr. Giardina continued, “We are also pleased with recent opening of our 100th club in the New York City metro area, a milestone that highlights the intensity of our clustering strategy in that market.”
In a separate release today, the Company updated guidance on its calendar 2006 earnings. It also announced that management will participate at the ICR XChange Conference to be held on Wednesday January 10, 2007 at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point, CA.
