PLANO, Texas, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, European Wax Center, Inc. (NASDAQ: EWCZ), the leading franchisor and operator of out-of-home waxing services in the United States, reports financial results for the 13 weeks ended April 5, 2025 as compared to the 13 weeks ended April 6, 2024.

Chris Morris, Chairman and CEO of European Wax Center, Inc. stated, "During the first quarter, we made meaningful progress against our strategic priorities and delivered solid financial performance, enabling us to reiterate our full-year outlook. We continue to advance our enhanced, data-rich marketing engine, and guest research is generating valuable insights that will shape our traffic-driving strategies. We're also strengthening our corporate infrastructure to better support franchisees through enhanced tools, resources and action plans, all while maintaining our focus on long-term network health and our goal of achieving net unit growth by the end of 2026."

Mr. Morris continued, "My first 100 days have only amplified my conviction in the European Wax Center brand and our leading market position. At the same time, we continue to navigate a dynamic macroeconomic environment and are taking a disciplined, strategic approach to managing our supply chain with franchisee success top of mind. Alongside my executive team, we are taking quick action to drive near-term results while sharpening a clear vision for the future that is anchored in driving sales, improving four-wall profitability and reigniting long-term unit growth."

Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2025 versus Fiscal 2024

   -- Franchisees opened 5 and closed 10 centers. We ended the quarter with 
      1,062 centers, representing a 1.0% increase versus 1,051 centers in the 
      prior year period. 
 
   -- System-wide sales of $225.9 million increased 2.1%from $221.4 million in 
      the prior year period, primarily driven by increased spend by guests at 
      existing centers and net new centers opened over the past twelve months. 
 
   -- Total revenue of $51.4 million decreased 0.9% from $51.9 million in the 
      prior year period. 
 
   -- Same-store sales increased 0.7%. 
 
   -- Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $15.3 million 
      increased 13.9% from $13.5 million in the prior year period. SG&A as a 
      percent of total revenue increased 380 basis points to 29.8% from 26.0% 
      primarily driven by increased stock based compensation and executive 
      severance expense, partially offset by a decrease in annual franchisee 
      conference expenses. 
 
   -- Interest expense, net of $6.6 million increased from $6.3 million in the 
      prior year period. 
 
   -- Income tax expense increased to $1.4 million from $1.2 million in the 
      prior year period. The effective tax rate increased to 35.0% from 24.9% 
      in the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of nondeductible 
      officer compensation in the current year. 
 
   -- Net income of $2.6 million decreased 29.7% from $3.7 million, and 
      Adjusted Net Income of $9.5 million increased 10.3% from $8.6 million in 
      the prior year period.  Net income margin decreased 200 basis points to 
      5.0% from 7.0%. 
 
   -- Adjusted EBITDA of $18.8 million increased 7.2% from $17.5 million in the 
      prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 280 basis points to 
      36.5% from 33.7%. 
 
   -- The Company repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares of its Class A 
      Common Stock during the period for $1.1 million, bringing cumulative 
      repurchases under the Company's current $50 million authorization to 
      $41.2 million.

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, Adjusted Net Income and Net Leverage Ratio. 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, amortization of intangible assets, 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. Previously, the Company did not include amortization of intangible assets in the calculation. However, the Company revised the definition in the first quarter of 2025 as a result of a change in the way management reviews Adjusted Net Income (Loss) in order to remove the impact of the non-cash amortization of intangible assets which management does not view as part of our core operations. Management believes excluding this enables investors to evaluate more clearly and consistently the Company's core operating performance in the same manner that management evaluates its core operating performance. The comparative period was also adjusted based on the revised definition. In addition, see following tables for Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the thirteen weeks and year ended January 4, 2025 using the revised definition.

We define Net Leverage Ratio as the total principal balance of our outstanding debt ("total debt") less cash and cash equivalents, then divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months.

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 center sales as revenue, our royalty revenue is calculated based on a percentage of franchised center 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 sales over a comparable 52-week period year over year 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.
