New York, NY – November 1, 2007 – 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”, announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Alex Alimanestianu, Chief Executive Officer of TSI, commented: “We remain excited about the many opportunities ahead of us. Our clustering strategy will continue to be the cornerstone of our growth, and we are excited about expanding into the Hartford, CT and Providence, RI markets over the next 12 months. Our new clubs are performing very well, and we also continue to see opportunities in corporate sales, which leverages our clustering model, as well as personal training and the overall ancillary revenue business which continues to be strong. As we look out over the next few years, we see our business benefiting from economies of scale, from greater leadership in our core markets, and from the maturation of our accelerated club openings this year. I have had the honor of working with Bob Giardina for the past 17 years, and am pleased to have the opportunity to continue to pursue the vision for this company that he and the entire management team have put in place.”

Total revenue
  $ 109,418       100.0 %   $ 118,886       100.0 %
 
                       
Total revenue for Q3 2007 grew 8.7% to $118.9 million from $109.4 million in Q3 2006. This increase in revenue was driven primarily by growth in membership revenue and ancillary club revenue.
    Membership revenue for Q3 2007 grew 7.9% to $96.9 million from $89.8 million in Q3 2006.
 
    Ancillary club revenue for Q3 2007 grew 11.8% to $20.5 million from $18.3 million in Q3 2006.
 
    Comparable club revenue increased 4.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Of this 4.1% increase, 2.0% was due to an increase in membership, 0.9% was due to an increase in price and 1.2% was due to an increase in ancillary club revenue and fees and other revenue.
Total operating expenses increased 11.5% to $105.0 million in Q3 2007 compared to $94.2 million in Q3 2006.
    Payroll and related expenses increased 9.1% or $3.6 million to $43.3 million in Q3 2007 compared to $39.7 million in Q3 2006, in line with revenue growth.
  o   Payroll costs directly related to the Company’s personal training, group fitness training and programming for children increased $1.4 million or 16.0%, due to increased demand for these programs.

  o   Advertising and marketing expenses increased $930,000, as we expended $3.8 million in Q3 2007 compared to $2.9 million in Q3 2006, primarily due to a shift in the timing of our advertising plans.
 
  o   As part of a customer service initiative, we had outsourced towel laundry service in 52 clubs as of September 30, 2007 as compared to 27 clubs as of September 30, 2006. As our clubs have become more intensely clustered in our markets, and member cross usage becomes more prevalent, we have found it increasingly necessary to offer towel laundry services at more of our clubs. We experienced a $610,000 increase in laundry expenses during Q3 2007 when compared Q3 2006.
    General and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million, or 25.5%, to $8.4 million during Q3 2007 from $6.7 million during Q3 2006. The increases in legal fees and expenses and general liability insurance were the primary factors. The remaining increase was due to increased costs to support the growth in our business in Q3 2007.
 
    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $825,000 to $10.9 million in Q3 2007 from $10.1 million in Q3 2006, principally due to new and expanded clubs.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased 9.6% to $354.0 million from $322.9 million in the same period in 2006. This increase in revenue was driven primarily by growth in membership revenue and ancillary club revenue.

    Club operating expenses increased 9.9%, or $10.7 million, to $119.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $108.9 million in the same period in 2006.

  o   As part of a customer service initiative, we had outsourced towel laundry service in 52 clubs as of September 30, 2007, as compared to 27 clubs at September 30, 2006. As our clubs have become more intensely clustered in our markets, and member cross usage becomes more prevalent, we have found it increasingly necessary to offer towel laundry service at more of our clubs. We experienced a $1.7 million increase in laundry expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
    General and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million, or 11.5%, to $25.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $22.6 million during the same period in the prior year. The increases in corporate rent, legal fees and expense and general liability insurance were the primary factors. The remaining increase was due to increased costs to support the growth in our business in 2007.

    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $2.9 million to $33.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $30.9 million in the same period in 2006, principally due to new and expanded clubs.
 
    Loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $12.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $16.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 related to the early redemption of $85.0 million of outstanding principal of the 9 5/8% Senior Notes and the redemption of 35% of our 11% Senior Discount Notes.
 
    The Company recorded an income tax provision of $4.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to a benefit of $121,000 in the same period in 2006. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an income tax charge totaling $751,000 was recorded to reflect the reduction in state tax assets that we believed were not more likely than not to be realized in association with the interest related to the pay-down of debt, resulting from the Company’s use of the proceeds from its initial public offering, which was consummated on June 7, 2006.

 


 

Net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $7.6 million compared to a net loss of $2.0 million in the same period in 2006.
EBITDA in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased 8.8% to $77.8 million from $71.5 million in the same period in 2006.

Please refer to the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA at the end of this release.

2007 Business Outlook:
Based upon the current business environment, our performance during the first nine months of 2007 and current trends in our market, we currently expect the following results for the remainder of 2007, subject to the risks and uncertainties in any forward-looking statements including those risk factors identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we opened six new clubs and expect to open another nine clubs during the remainder of 2007. We expect total revenue for 2007 to be in the range of $473.0 million to $475.0 million, representing 9% to 10% growth over 2006, driven primarily by club membership and ancillary revenue growth, the maturation of recently opened clubs, as well as new clubs expected to be opened during 2007.
We expect net income to be between $12.5 million and $13.3 million for 2007, when compared with 2006 net income of $4.6 million. The net income for 2007 will be arrived at after a total charge estimated at $12.5 million for early extinguishment of debt before corporate income taxes, or $7.4 million after corporate income taxes. As set forth below, the Company expects net income to be between $19.9 million and $20.4 million without the after-tax effects of these debt extinguishment costs. The Company expects earnings per share of between $0.47 and $0.49 for the year, which includes an after-tax charge of $0.28 per share in connection with the early extinguishment of debt, or between $0.75 and $0.77 per share before the early debt extinguishment charge on an after-tax basis, a decrease from previous guidance. This guidance includes approximately $480,000 of costs related to the resignation of former Chief Executive Officer, Robert Giardina. These costs will be incurred in Q4 2007 and represent an earnings per share reduction of $0.01 after corporate income taxes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and loss on extinguishment of debt. EBITDA provides useful information regarding the Company’s operating performance and financial condition, subject to the limitations described below. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows or other consolidated income (loss) or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. Additionally, investors should be aware that EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of consolidated revenue.
The Company believes that EBITDA is used by some investors, analysts and other parties to measure the Company’s performance over time.  Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to understanding the Company’s ability to meet capital expenditures and working capital requirements and to better assess and understand operating performance.  The measure allows investors, analysts and other parties to better evaluate the Company’s financial performance and prospects in the same manner as management.
