Mindbody Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Delivers Year over Year Revenue Growth of 31%, Improved Margins and Record Cash Flow from Operations

San Luis Obispo, CA – July 26, 2017 - MINDBODY, Inc. (NASDAQ: MB), the leading technology platform for the wellness services industry, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

“In the second quarter, we continued to focus our subscriber acquisition efforts on those businesses that contribute significant amounts of inventory to our platform, and we realized rapid growth in consumer adoption and engagement,” said Rick Stollmeyer, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mindbody. “This represents substantial progress towards our goal of a transaction-enabled marketplace that will serve more than one hundred million consumers.”

“We delivered strong topline results in the second quarter,” said Brett White, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “Additionally, we saw early positive effects of our refined subscriber growth strategy, demonstrated by our expanding year over year margins and accelerating ARPS growth.”

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

• Total revenue in the second quarter of 2017 was $44.1 million, a 31% increase year over year.
• Subscription and services revenue in the second quarter was $26.0 million, a 29% increase year over year.
• Payments revenue in the second quarter was $17.6 million, a 37% increase year over year.
• GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2017 was $(4.4) million or $(0.10) per basic and diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2016 of $(6.6) million, or $(0.16) per basic and diluted share.
• Non-GAAP net loss¹ in the second quarter of 2017 was $(0.5) million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2016 of $(4.1) million, or $(0.10) per basic and diluted share.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ in the second quarter of 2017 was $1.7 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss in the second quarter of 2016 of $(1.9) million.

Recent Business Highlights

• End of period subscribers increased 6% year over year to 59,345. End of period High Value Subscribers increased 13% year over year.
• Average monthly revenue per subscriber (ARPS) grew 21% year over year to approximately $244.
• Dollar-based net expansion rate was 108%, compared to 111% as of the end of the second quarter of 2016. This metric nets the effects of subscriber churn against the increasing value of subscribers retained, indicating the tendency of our subscriber cohorts to gain value over time.
• Payments volume increased 22% year over year to over $1.9 billion.
• Named Mike Mansbach President of Mindbody. Mansbach oversees the growth engine of the company, including sales, marketing, partnerships and customer experience. He reports to CEO and Co-founder Rick Stollmeyer, who continues to lead the company's vision, mission and overall strategy.

Outlook

For the third quarter and full year 2017, Mindbody expects to report:

• Revenue for the third quarter of 2017 in the range of $45.1 million to $46.1 million, representing 28% to 31% growth over the third quarter of 2016.
• Revenue for the full year of 2017 in the range of $179.5 million to $182 million, representing 29% to 31% growth over the full year of 2016.
• Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2017 in the range of $(2.2) million to $(1.2) million and weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of approximately 46.5 million shares.
• Non-GAAP net loss for the full year of 2017 in the range of $(4.7) million to $(2.7) million and weighted average shares outstanding for the full year of approximately 44.3 million shares.

The outlook for non-GAAP net loss excludes estimates for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis because we do not provide guidance on GAAP net loss, primarily as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is impacted by MINDBODY’s future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of MINDBODY’s Class A common stock, all of which is difficult to predict and is subject to constant change. The actual amount of these expenses during 2017 will have a significant impact on MINDBODY’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, MINDBODY has provided financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). We disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in understanding and evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider these non-GAAP financial measures along with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, and our GAAP financial results. We have provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net loss before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, provision for income taxes, and other expense, net, which consists of interest expense, net, and other expense, net. We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Adjusted EBITDA has a number of limitations, including the following: (1) although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (2) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation, or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (3) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted

We define non-GAAP net loss as the respective GAAP balance attributable to common stockholders adjusted for: (1) stock-based compensation expense and (2) amortization of acquired intangible assets. Non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016, we changed the definition of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, in addition to the other adjustments that have been previously reported. Adjusting for this item is consistent with how management internally evaluates and assesses our ongoing core operational performance. While management’s view of our ongoing operational performance has not changed significantly from prior periods, amortization of acquired intangible assets has and may continue to vary from period to period due to episodic acquisitions completed, rather than our ongoing business operations. Accordingly, we believe that excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets provides a more comprehensive understanding of our core operating results, enables more meaningful comparisons with our historical results and better aligns with our disclosures with our peers. These changes have been applied retroactively to all periods presented. These non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations, including the following: these non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in MINDBODY’s business; and other companies, including companies in our industry, may exclude different non-recurring items in their calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure.
