Xponential Fitness, Inc. (XPOF, Financial) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on Xponential Fitnessâ past claims that â[t]he foundation of our business is built on strong partnerships with franchiseesâ and â[w]e are highly focused on providing franchisees with extensive support to help maximize their performance and enhance their return on investment.â
But, on June 26, 2023, analyst Fuzzy Panda Research published a scathing report based in part on interviews with former business partners, franchisees, and employees of Xponential Fitnessâ CEO (Anthony Geisler), concluding âthe XPOF house of cards is beginning to fall.â
With respect to Geisler, Fuzzy Panda's research reveals: (1) Geisler was âpreviously CEO of a reverse merger, pink sheets, pump & dump called Interactive Solutions (INSC) that used Bangkok boiler roomsâ and (2) âformer franchisees, and colleagues of Geislerâs described him âas a crookâ and detailed his many âscamsâ and âillegal business practices[.]ââ
Fuzzy Panda also found that over 50% of the companyâs average studios are losing money, 80% of its brands have unprofitable business models, franchisees are giving their studios back to XPOF for $1, more of the worst loss-making transition studios are on XPOFâs balance sheet and they have become harder for XPOF to re-sell, and XPOF has closed lots of studios despite managementâs claim to never closed a single studio.
In response, the price of Xponential shares crashed as much as 42% lower on June 27, 2023.
âWeâre focused on investorsâ losses and whether Xponential lied about its business model and financial metrics,â said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
