PLANO, Texas, March 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, European Wax Center, Inc. (NASDAQ: EWCZ), the largest and fastest-growing franchisor and operator of out-of-home waxing services in the United States, reports financial results for the 14 and 53 weeks ended December 31, 2022.

David Berg, Chief Executive Officer of European Wax Center, Inc. stated: “We delivered record full year results in line with the guidance we provided at the beginning of 2022, demonstrating the stability of the European Wax Center model in a dynamic environment. We grew net new centers by over 10% and ended the year with our deepest pipeline ever, showcasing that our attractive unit economics generate sustained franchisee demand. In addition, we continue to drive strong Wax Pass sales to guests, which underscore the commitment that our guests have to their waxing routines, engender brand loyalty and generate predictable visit frequency to our centers. Our strong fourth quarter and full year results continue to validate European Wax Center’s position as the leader in out-of-home waxing.

Mr. Berg continued, “Looking ahead to fiscal 2023, we are well-positioned to deliver another year of growth, driven by new center openings and in-center sales. Quarter-to-date transaction trends remain consistent with the past two quarters, and our 2023 top line outlook assumes continued stability supported by the unwavering loyalty of our recurring Wax Pass guests. We look forward to extending our leadership position as the category killer and creator as we continue taking share in this growing, highly fragmented category.”

Results for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2022 versus Fiscal 2021

• The Company opened 33 net new centers.

• System-wide sales of $225.4 million grew 11.6% from $201.9 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 $53.5 million increased 18.7% from $45.1 million in the prior year period.

• Same-store sales increased 6.3%.

• Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $14.6 million decreased 8.5% from $15.9 million in the prior year period. SG&A as a percent of total revenue improved 810 basis points to 27.3% from 35.4%, primarily due to costs incurred in the prior year period related to our initial public offering, expense leverage on top line growth and a shift in the timing of advertising expense year-over-year.

• Interest expense of $7.2 million increased from $1.6 million in the prior year period due to higher average principal balances and interest rates following the Company’s refinancing in April 2022.

• Net income of $2.3 million decreased from $4.4 million in the prior year period, and Adjusted net income of $48.7 million increased from $8.5 million from in the prior year period. We recognized an income tax benefit of $53.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 related to the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million in the prior year period.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $19.2 million increased 25.9% from $15.2 million in the prior year period.

• The Company repurchased $10.1 million of its Class A Common Stock during the period.
  

Annual Results for Fiscal 2022 versus Fiscal 2021

• The Company opened 91 net new centers and ended the year with 944 centers, representing a 10.7% increase versus 853 centers at the end of the prior year.

• System-wide sales of $898.6 million grew 12.8% from $796.5 million in the prior year, primarily driven by increased spend by guests at existing centers and net new centers opened over the past twelve months.

• Total revenue of $207.4 million increased 16.0% from $178.7 million in the prior year.

• Same-store sales increased 10.4%.

• SG&A of $59.0 million decreased 4.3% from $61.6 million in the prior year. SG&A as a percent of total revenue improved 610 basis points to 28.4%, primarily due to costs incurred in the prior year related to our initial public offering, partially offset by increased insurance expense needed to operate as a public company and expenses incurred to improve our IT capabilities.

• Interest expense of $23.6 million increased from $20.3 million in the prior year, primarily due to higher average principal balances and interest rates in fiscal 2022 as a result of our whole business securitization. The increase was largely offset by a lower loss on debt extinguishment year-over-year.

• Net income of $13.6 million increased from $4.0 million in the prior year, and Adjusted net income of $71.5 million increased from $29.7 million from in the prior year period. We recognized an income tax benefit of $53.2 million in fiscal 2022 related to the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million in the prior year.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $71.6 million increased 11.7% from $64.1 million in the prior year.

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 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 exit costs related to leases of abandoned space, IPO-related costs, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, corporate headquarters office relocation, non-cash gains and losses on remeasurement of our tax receivable agreement liability, transaction costs and other one-time expenses.

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 exit costs related to leases of abandoned space, IPO-related costs, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, corporate headquarters office relocation, debt extinguishment costs, non-cash gains and losses on remeasurement of our tax receivable agreement liability, transaction costs and other one-time expenses. 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 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.
