SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Joint Corp. (NASDAQ: JYNT), the nation's largest franchisor of chiropractic care through The Joint Chiropractic® network, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. The following figures represent continuing operations unless otherwise stated.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

Second Quarter 2026 Operating Highlights

“In the second quarter, we continued to see the benefits of our Joint 2.0 strategy take hold, with our actions to optimize the clinic portfolio, streamline our operating structure, and elevate the patient experience driving improved operating efficiency and strong free cash flow,” said President and Chief Executive Officer of The Joint Corp., Sanjiv Razdan. “We are encouraged with another quarter of revenue growth, as well as the improvement in comp trends compared to the first quarter. We are also seeing the early benefits of our flexible membership options, which contributed to strengthening patient retention. In addition, our national marketing initiative is leveraging consumer research to uncover emerging patient trends, ensuring our offerings align with what patients are seeking from chiropractic care.

“As we enter the second half of 2026, we expect our pure-play franchisor model to drive margin improvement, profitability and continued free cash flow. Our balance sheet remains strong, with $22.2 million in unrestricted cash, which combined with our improving cash generation, positions us to continue to execute on our capital allocation priorities including share repurchases and RD territory buybacks. In addition, we are investing in growth-focused initiatives to deepen patient relationships and improve outcomes across the network. Together, these efforts reinforce our commitment to build sustainable, long-term value for our franchise partners, patients, and stockholders.”

Update on Refranchising Efforts

The Company has substantially completed the refranchising initiative under its Joint 2.0 strategy through three previously announced clinic sale bundles:

As a result of these refranchising efforts, The Joint Corp. now effectively operates as a capital-light, pure-play franchisor, allowing management to concentrate fully on driving growth through franchise system support, new patient acquisition, and long-term network development.

Financial Results for Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to June 30, 2025

Revenue totaled $15.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting the shift to the Company's pure play franchisor revenue model. Cost of revenues was $2.5 million, down approximately 11% compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to lower RD royalty costs as the Company continues to reacquire RD territories.

Selling and marketing expenses were $4.9 million, an increase of 40% compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to incremental investments in brand awareness and patient acquisition. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $423,000. General and administrative expenses decreased 2% to $7.6 million compared to $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, underscoring ongoing operating discipline within the leaner post-refranchising structure.

Consolidated net income was $653,000, compared to $93,000 in the prior-year period. Net loss from continuing operations was $251,000, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. Consolidated EPS was $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $0.01 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA from consolidated operations was $3.2 million, in line with $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $1.5 million, compared to $88,000 in the prior-year period.

Balance Sheet and Stock Repurchase Program

Unrestricted cash was $22.2 million at June 30, 2026, an increase compared to $20.7 million at March 31, 2026. The Company maintains a currently undrawn line of credit with JP Morgan Chase, which provides immediate access to $20 million through August 2029.

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 82,000 shares for total consideration of approximately $677,000, at an average price of $8.23 per share. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $3.8 million remaining under the $12 million stock repurchase program authorized in November 2025.

Financial Results for Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to June 30, 2025

Revenue was $30.0 million in the first six months of 2026, up 14% compared to $26.3 million in the same period in 2025. Consolidated net income was $2.0 million, compared to $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Net income from continuing operations was $851,000, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Consolidated EPS was $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $0.07 per diluted share in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA from consolidated operations increased to $6.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations improved to $3.7 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA from consolidated operations of $6.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $134,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2025.

2026 Guidance

The Company reiterated its 2026 financial guidance as originally provided on March 12, 2026, as follows:

New franchised clinic openings, excluding the impact of refranchised clinics, are now expected to be in the range of 22 to 26. The Company is working with franchise owners to optimize the performance of the existing franchised clinic base. This will include closing underperforming clinics this year, which will result in the overall clinic count at 2026 year end being lower than 2025 year end.

Commonly Discussed Performance Metrics

This release includes a presentation of commonly discussed performance metrics. System-wide sales include revenues at all clinics, whether operated by the company or by franchisees. While franchised sales are not recorded as revenues by the company, management believes the information is important in understanding the company’s financial performance because these sales are the basis on which the company calculates and records royalty fees and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base. Comp sales include the revenues from both company-owned or managed clinics and franchised clinics that in each case have been open at least 13 full months and exclude any clinics that have closed.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This release also includes a presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because they are important measures used by management to assess financial performance, as management believes they provide a more transparent view of the company’s underlying operating performance and operating trends. Free cash flow is presented as a supplemental measure of liquidity. Reconciliation of historical net income/(loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow is presented in the tables below. The company defines EBITDA as net income/(loss) before net interest, tax expense, depreciation, and amortization expenses. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before acquisition-related expenses (which includes contract termination costs associated with reacquired RD rights), net (gain)/loss on disposition or impairment, stock-based compensation expenses, costs related to restatement filings, restructuring costs, and litigation expenses (consisting of legal and related fees for specific proceedings that arise outside of the ordinary course of our business). The company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flows from operations, as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as measures of financial performance and free cash flow is used as a measure of liquidity, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow should be reviewed in conjunction with the company’s financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Please refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents located at the end of this release. This release includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. These measures will differ from net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations at the end of this release. We are not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, guidance for net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the company is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in net income (loss).

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains statements about future events and expectations that constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of industry trends, our future financial and operating performance and our growth plans, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "continues," "estimates," "expects," "goal," "objective," "intends," "may," "opportunity," "plans," "potential," "near-term," "long-term," "projections," "assumptions," "projects," "guidance," "forecasts," "outlook," "target," "trends," "should," "could," "would," "will," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Specific forward-looking statements made in this press release include, among others, our belief that in the second quarter, we continued to see the benefits of our Joint 2.0 strategy take hold, with our actions to optimize the clinic portfolio, streamline our operating structure, and elevate the patient experience driving improved operating efficiency and strong free cash flow; our belief that we are encouraged with another quarter of revenue growth, as well as the strengthening of comp trends as we exited the second quarter; our belief that we are seeing the early benefits of our flexible membership options, which contributed to strengthening patient retention; our belief that our national marketing initiative is leveraging consumer research to uncover emerging patient trends, ensuring our offerings align with what patients are seeking from chiropractic care; our expectation that as we enter the second half of 2026, our pure-play franchisor model will drive margin improvement, profitability and continued free cash flow; our belief that our balance sheet remains strong, with $22.2 million in unrestricted cash, which combined with our improving cash generation, positions us to continue to execute on our capital allocation priorities including share repurchases and RD territory buybacks; our plan to invest in growth-focused initiatives to deepen patient relationships and improve outcomes across the network and our belief that, together, these efforts reinforce our commitment to build sustainable, long-term value for our franchise partners, patients, and stockholders; and our reiterated 2026 guidance for system-wide sales, system-wide comp sales, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, new franchised clinic openings, and overall clinic count. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations of future results we express or imply in any forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, our inability to identify and recruit enough qualified chiropractors and other personnel to staff our clinics, due in part to the nationwide labor shortage and an increase in operating expenses due to measures we may need to take to address such shortage; inflation, leading to increased labor costs and interest rates, as well as changes to import tariffs and increased gas prices, may lead to reduced discretionary spending, all of which may negatively impact our business; our failure to profitably operate company-owned or managed clinics; our failure to refranchise as planned; short-selling strategies and negative opinions posted on the internet, which could drive down the market price of our common stock and result in class action lawsuits; our failure to remediate future material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which could negatively impact our ability to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud, or maintain investor confidence; and other factors described in our filings with the SEC, including in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2026 and subsequent filings with the SEC. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

1 System-wide sales include revenues at all clinics, whether operated or managed by the company or by franchisees. While franchised sales are not recorded as revenues by the company, management believes the information is important in understanding the company’s financial performance, because these revenues are the basis on which the company calculates and records royalty fees and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base.

2 Comp sales include the revenues from both company-owned or managed clinics and franchised clinics that in each case have been open at least 13 full months and exclude any clinics that have closed.
