NEW YORK, May 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XpresSpa Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XSPA), a health and wellness holding company, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Doug Satzman, XpresSpa Group CEO, stated, “The XpresSpa team of therapists and technicians are working incredibly hard providing exceptional service to our customers and we are encouraged that our comparable store sales improved sequentially throughout the first quarter. March was not only our first month of positive comparable store sales growth in over 18 months, but our momentum has since continued into the second quarter. In fact, we have turned the corner and are currently tracking positively on a year-to-date basis through the second week of May.”
Mr. Satzman continued, “We are also making headway reducing both spa-level and corporate costs as demonstrated by the increase in store margin, decrease in general and administrative expenses, and reduction in our Adjusted EBITDA loss during the first quarter. There is certainly considerably more to be done during this transitional year to grow sales and optimize costs, but we are pleased to be seeing ‘green shoots’ as we move forward.”
Mr. Satzman added, “We will be leveraging our extensive brand recognition and existing real estate footprint by adding three additional company-operated spas in airports where we currently operate high-performing spas in other terminals, while in Austin, we will be opening our first franchise-operated spa and a company-operated spa later this year. Refreshing existing spas by making our facilities more inviting to customers further enhances our brand equity and we intend to complete a total of five to seven renovation projects in 2019 as well.”
Mr. Satzman concluded, “As previously communicated, we have identified and prioritized our areas of focus in the near-term along with what we expect to accomplish over the longer-term in taking our brand and culture to the next level. Our underlying objective is to build a sustainable and enduring business that can capitalize on the growing demand from highly desirable customer demographics for spa services and related wellness products.”

Same Store Sales Growth
($ in thousands)
XpresSpa regularly measures comparable store sales, which it defines as current period sales from stores opened more than 12 months compared to those same stores’ sales in the prior year period (“Comp Store Sales”). The measurement of Comp Store Sales on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and year-to-date basis provides an additional perspective on XpresSpa’s total sales growth when considering the influence of new unit contribution. A reconciliation between Comp Store Sales and total revenue as reported on the financial statements is presented below:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 | Three Months Ended March, 31 2018 | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comp Store | Non-Comp Store | Total | Comp Store | Non-Comp Store | Total | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue | $10,634,000 | $412,000 | $11,046,000 | $10,772,000 | $1,028,000 | $11,800,000 | (1.3)% |
Comp Store Sales decreased 1.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. As of March 31, 2019, XpresSpa had 55 open locations; during the first quarter of 2019, XpresSpa closed one location.
