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 13
and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2023.
David Berg, Chief Executive Officer of European Wax Center, Inc.
stated: “We are pleased to deliver second quarter results in line
with our expectations, reinforcing the strength and consistency of
the European Wax Center business model. Our guests remain committed
to both their personal care routines and our brand as evidenced by
10% system-wide-sales growth during the quarter and another strong
semiannual promotion period that drove double digit growth in Wax
Pass sales. Including our milestone 1000th center, we opened 25 net
new centers across 19 states, highlighting continued strong demand
among franchisees of all sizes and geographies. Driven by
attractive unit economics, our existing franchisee base accounted
for 100% of second quarter new units and continues to fuel our
future growth. The predictable nature of our most loyal guests,
coupled with our robust unit pipeline, gives us confidence in
reiterating our full-year financial expectations for 2023.”
Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2023 versus
Fiscal 2022
- Franchisees opened 25 net new centers,
and we ended the quarter with 1,003 centers, representing a 12.3%
increase versus 893 centers in prior year period.
- System-wide sales of $254.2 million
grew 10.0% from $231.1 million in the prior year period, primarily
driven by net new centers opened over the past twelve months and
increased spend by guests at existing centers.
- Total revenue of $59.1 million
increased 10.7% from $53.4 million in the prior year period.
- Same-store sales increased 2.6%.
- Selling, general and administrative
expenses (“SG&A”) of $14.1 million decreased 7.2% from $15.2
million in the prior year period. SG&A as a percent of total
revenue improved 460 basis points to 23.9% from 28.5%, primarily
due to the nonrecurrence of professional fees related to the
Company’s refinancing and secondary offering in the prior year
period.
- Interest expense of $6.8 million
decreased from $8.1 million in the prior year period primarily due
to the nonrecurrence of a $2.0 million loss on debt extinguishment,
partially offset by the impact of higher average principal balances
and interest rates following the Company’s refinancing in the prior
year period.
- Income tax expense was $2.8 million
compared to a negligible amount in the prior year period.
- Net income of $5.6 million increased
175.4% from $2.0 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net
income of $5.8 million decreased 22.4% from $7.4 million in the
prior year period, primarily due to the impact of tax-related
adjustments in the current year.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $21.2 million
increased 13.8% from $18.6 million in the prior year period. As a
percent of total revenue, Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 100
basis points to 35.9% from 34.9%.
Year-to-Date Results through the Second Quarter of
Fiscal 2023 versus Fiscal 2022
- Franchisees opened 59 net new centers
in the first half of fiscal 2023.
- System-wide sales of $472.6 million
grew 7.9% from $438.0 million in the prior year-to-date period,
primarily driven by net new centers opened over the past twelve
months and increased spend by guests at existing centers.
- Total revenue of $109.0 million
increased 10.3% from $98.8 million in the prior year-to-date
period.
- Same-store sales increased 3.4%.
- SG&A of $31.4 million increased
2.3% from $30.7 million in the prior year-to-date period. SG&A
as a percent of total revenue improved 230 basis points to 28.8%
from 31.1%, primarily due to a reduction in professional fees
related to the Company’s refinancing and secondary offering in the
prior year period, partially offset by increased share-based
compensation expense in the current year.
- Interest expense of $13.6 million
increased from $9.6 million in the prior year-to-date period due to
higher average principal balances and interest rates following the
Company’s refinancing, partially offset by the nonrecurrence of a
$2.0 million loss on debt extinguishment.
- Income tax expense was $2.3 million
compared to a negligible amount in the prior year-to-date
period.
- Net income of $4.5 million decreased
from net income of $6.1 million in the prior year-to-date period.
Adjusted net income of $9.2 million decreased from $16.0 million in
the prior year-to-date period, primarily due to the impact of
tax-related adjustments in the current year.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $37.5 million
increased 11.0% from $33.8 million in the prior year-to-date
period. As a percent of total revenue, Adjusted EBITDA margin
increased 20 basis points to 34.4% from 34.2%.
Balance Sheet and Cash FlowThe Company ended
the quarter with $54.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $7.0
million in restricted cash, $396.0 million in borrowings
outstanding under its senior secured notes and no outstanding
borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Net cash provided
by operating activities totaled $17.0 million during the
quarter.
Fiscal 2023 Outlook(1)The
Company reiterates its previous outlook for fiscal year 2023 as
follows:
|
Fiscal 2023 Outlook |
New Center Openings, Net |
95 to 100 |
System-Wide Sales |
$965 million to $990 million |
Total Revenue |
$222 million to $229 million |
Same-Store Sales |
Mid-Single Digits |
Adjusted Net Income(2) |

——————————————(1) Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2023 each include a
53rd week in the fourth quarter. The Company estimates the 53rd
week contribution to the top and bottom line is worth approximately
one half of an average fourth quarter week. The Company's current
outlook assumes no meaningful change in consumer behavior driven by
inflationary pressures or the COVID-19 pandemic and no further
impacts from incremental tightening in the labor market beyond what
we see today.(2) Adjusted net income outlook assumes a 20% blended
statutory tax rate for Fiscal 2023.

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
MetricsSystem-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.
