    Michael Hirsh's questions to Life Time Group Holdings Inc (LTH) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Michael Hirsh asked how to think about the 4-5% growth target for ramped centers in 2025, given 2024's outperformance, and questioned the reason for only seven new openings in 2024 versus the 10-12 target.

    Answer

    EVP and CFO Erik Weaver confirmed the 4-5% growth rate for mature centers remains the long-term model and expects performance to normalize to that range in 2025. Founder, Chairman and CEO Bahram Akradi explained that the lower number of 2024 openings was due to project delays, with those clubs now expected to open in future years, particularly strengthening the 2026 pipeline. He stressed that the company manages to its overall financial commitments regardless of opening cadence.
