In the quarter, SilverSneakers visits of 24 million were in line with expectations. Importantly, the mix of visits was more skewed toward members who pay the company per visit fee, resulting in higher revenue. Management expects the mix of visits to normalize for the rest of 2017. Additionally, in its Prime Fitness program, TVTY had a higher-than-expected increase in member pay enrollment. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.6% improved from last year, driven by higher revenue and cost controls. We note that the average cost per visit in the SilverSneakers program was lower than expected. Technology infrastructure costs were also lower than anticipated. Adjusted EPS of $0.42 were well-above FactSet consensus of $0.34 and our estimate of $0.32 and benefited from a lower-than-expected tax rate." (4/28/2017)
