Did LTH Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results
Life Time Group Holdings delivered a strong second quarter, posting earnings per share of $0.48 against a consensus estimate of $0.43, a beat of 11.01% that extended the premium fitness operator's winning streak to five consecutive quarters of topping Wall Street expectations. Revenue climbed 13.7% year over year to $866.00 million, ahead of the $845.75 million analysts had anticipated, as the company's athletic country club model continued to gain momentum. The clearest driver behind the outperformance was pricing power within the membership base; average center revenue per membership rose 11.8% to $993, fueled by a deliberate shift away from lower-dues insurance-administered memberships toward full-rate tiers and surging demand for Dynamic Personal Training. Net income expanded to $101.36 million, lifting margins to 11.7% from 9.5% a year ago, while adjusted EBITDA grew 16.8% to $246.53 million. With analysts already watching whether that pricing momentum could sustain the stock's rally, management answered by raising full-year revenue guidance to $3.35 billion to $3.38 billion and lifting adjusted EBITDA targets to $940 million to $955 million.

“We delivered strong second quarter results, driven by our continued focus on delivering exceptional member experiences across our clubs.

As a result, we are seeing strong comparable center revenue performance and growth in revenue per membership. We are on track to open 14 new clubs in 2026 and continue to see significant demand for our premium athletic country club model.”
