First Quarter 2022 Financial Information Dollars in millions, except per-share data See pages 10-12 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022	2021

Revenues from Continuing Operations	$127.5	$108.1
Income from Continuing Operations ⁽¹⁾	$0.6	$19.9
Income from Continuing Operations Margin ⁽¹⁾	0.5%	18.5%
Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations ⁽²⁾	$37.4	$41.2
Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations Margin ⁽²⁾	29.3%	38.1%
Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations ⁽¹⁾	$0.01	$0.40
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations ⁽²⁾	$0.40	$0.40
Cash Flows from Operating Activities	$37.0	$22.6
Free Cash Flow ⁽²⁾	$32.9	$19.4


(1)	Results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 include an unrealized pretax loss of $22.4 million related to the Company's equity ownership in Sharecare and an unrealized pretax gain of $5.7 million on de-designated interest rate swaps. There is no net tax impact on the loss related to the Company's equity ownership in Sharecare due to the existence of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets related to capital loss carryforwards.
(2)	Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See pages 10-12 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Revenues in the first quarter of 2022 of $127.5 million increased by $19.4 million, or approximately 18%, compared to the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. SilverSneakers revenue of $96.1 million increased by $16.3 million primarily due to an increase in revenue-generating visits, and Prime Fitness revenue of $25.0 million increased by $2.4 million primarily due to higher average monthly subscribers.

Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2022 was $0.6 million, a decrease of $19.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2021. The results for the first quarter of 2022 reflect a non-cash unrealized net loss of $22.4 million related to the Company's equity ownership in Sharecare, based on fluctuations in Sharecare's stock price, and a non-cash unrealized net gain of $4.3 million on de-designated interest rate swaps.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $37.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, or 29.3% of revenues, compared to $41.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, or 38.1% of revenues. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to a lower mix of revenues from per-member-per-month fees for SilverSneakers coupled with an increase in fitness location visit costs for SilverSneakers and Prime Fitness due to an increase in participation levels.

Transaction with Stone Point Capital

On April 5, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by funds managed by Stone Point Capital. Under the terms of the agreement, Tivity Health stockholders will receive $32.50 in cash per share at closing. The transaction with Stone Point Capital creates immediate and substantial value for shareholders while ensuring the Company continues to help SilverSneakers members live healthier, happier and more connected lives as a leading senior fitness and health improvement platform. This transaction is the culmination of an extensive review of strategic alternatives. The transaction is scheduled to close in or prior to the third quarter of 2022, subject to the receipt of stockholder approval, regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Following completion of the transaction, Tivity Health will become a privately held company, and its common stock will no longer be traded on Nasdaq.

In light of this pending transaction, the Company will not be hosting an earnings conference call to discuss its results for the quarter and will not be providing or updating previously issued financial guidance.

the closure of fitness centers in the Company's national network (or operational restrictions imposed on such fitness centers), reclosures, and potential additional reclosures or restrictions as a result of surges in positive COVID-19 cases) on the Company's business, operations or liquidity; the risks associated with changes in macroeconomic conditions (including the impacts of any recession or changes in consumer spending resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic), widespread epidemics, pandemics (such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, including variant strains of COVID-19) or other outbreaks of disease, geopolitical turmoil, and the continuing threat of domestic or international terrorism; the Company's ability to collect accounts receivable from its customers and amounts due under its sublease agreements; the market's acceptance of the Company's new products and services; the Company's ability to develop and implement effective strategies and to anticipate and respond to strategic changes, opportunities, and emerging trends in its industry and/or business, as well as to accurately forecast the related impact on its revenues and earnings;

the impact of severe or adverse weather conditions, the current COVID-19 pandemic (including variant strains of COVID-19), and the potential emergence of additional health pandemics or infectious disease outbreaks on member participation in the Company's programs; the risks associated with the Company deriving a significant concentration of its revenues from a limited number of our customers, many of whom are health plans; the Company's ability and/or the ability of its customers to enroll participants and to accurately forecast their level of enrollment and participation in its programs in a manner and within the timeframe it anticipates;

the risks associated with changes to traditional office-centered business processes and/or conducting operations out of the office in a work-from-home or remote model by the Company or its third-party vendors during adverse situations (e.g., during a crisis, disaster, or pandemic), which may result in additional costs and/or may negatively impact productivity and cause other disruptions to the Company's business; the Company's ability to enforce its intellectual property rights; the risk that the Company's indebtedness may limit its ability to adapt to changes in the economy or market conditions, expose it to interest rate risk for the variable rate indebtedness and require a substantial portion of cash flows from operations to be dedicated to the payment of indebtedness; the Company's ability to service its debt, make principal and interest payments as those payments become due, and remain in compliance with its debt covenants; the Company's ability to obtain adequate financing to provide the capital that may be necessary to support its current or future operations; counterparty risk associated with the Company's interest rate swap agreements and changes in fair value of certain interest rate swap agreements that no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment; and other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For additional information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Company's filings with the SEC. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or circumstances.

TIVITY HEALTH, INC. RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES (Unaudited)

Reconciliation of Income from Continuing Operations, GAAP Basis to Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Non-GAAP Basis (in thousands)

		Three Months Ended March 31, 2022	% of Revenue		Three Months Ended March 31, 2021	% of Revenue
Income from continuing operations, GAAP basis	$	644	0.5%		19,944	18.5%

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, non- GAAP basis ⁽⁴⁾	$	37,351	29.3%	$	41,194	38.1%


(1)	EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of its operating results on the same basis as that used by management. You should not consider EBITDA from continuing operations in isolation or as a substitute for income from continuing operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(2)	Integration, project, and CEO transition costs consist of pre-tax charges of $1,737 and $1,321 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily incurred in connection with strategic projects (including the potential Merger) and with the termination of the Company's former CEO in February 2020 and the hiring of its new CEO in June 2020.
(3)	Other (income) expense consists of pre-tax expense of $16,685 and pre-tax income of ($1,130) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to (i) unrealized losses on the Company's equity ownership in Sharecare during the first quarter of 2022, and (ii) unrealized gains on certain interest rate swap agreements that no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment ("de-designated swaps") and require changes in fair value to be recognized each period in current earnings.
(4)	Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company excludes integration, project, and CEO transition costs and other (income) expense from this measure because of its comparability to the Company's historical operating results. The Company believes it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of its operating results on the same basis as that used by management. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in isolation or as a substitute for income from continuing operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations may be defined differently by other companies in the Company's industry, the non-GAAP financial measure presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities, GAAP Basis to Free Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Basis (in thousands)
		Three Months Ended March 31, 2022		Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Net cash flows provided by operating activities, GAAP basis	$	37,015	$	22,618

Settlement on derivatives not designated as hedges		(1,390)		(1,633)
Free cash flow, non-GAAP basis ⁽⁵⁾	$	32,910	$	19,424

(5)

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as net cash flows provided by operating activities less acquisition of property and equipment and settlement on derivatives not designated as hedges. The Company believes free cash flow is a useful measure of performance, an indication of the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash, and the amount of cash that is available to repay debt or make other investments. The Company believes it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of its results on the same basis as that used by management. You should not consider free cash flow in isolation or as a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, because free cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in the Company's industry, the non-GAAP financial measure presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliation of Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") from Continuing Operations, GAAP Basis to

Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations, Non-GAAP Basis (footnote amounts in thousands)

		Three Months Ended March 31, 2022		Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
EPS from continuing operations, GAAP basis	$	0.01	$	0.40
Net loss attributable to integration, project, and CEO transition costs ⁽⁶⁾		0.03		0.02
Net income per share attributable to other (income) expense, net ⁽⁷⁾		0.36		(0.02)
Adjusted EPS from continuing operations, GAAP basis ⁽⁸⁾	$	0.40	$	0.40


(6)	Net loss attributable to integration, project, and CEO transition costs consists of pre-tax charges of $1,737 and $1,321 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily incurred in connection with strategic projects (including the potential Merger) and with the termination of the Company's former CEO in February 2020 and the hiring of its new CEO in June 2020. The tax rate applied to these charges was 25%, which represented the combined estimated U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate.
(7)	Net income attributable to other (income) expense consists of pre-tax expense of $16,685 and pre-tax income of ($1,130) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the Company's equity ownership in Sharecare and unrealized gains on the Company's de-designated swaps, as described in Note 3 above. The tax rate applied to the income related to the de-designated swaps was 25%, which represented the combined estimated U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate. There is no net tax impact on the loss related to the Company's equity ownership in Sharecare due to the existence of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets related to capital loss carryforwards.
(8)	Adjusted EPS from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company excludes net (income) loss per share attributable to integration, project, and CEO transition costs and other (income) expense from this measure because of its comparability to the Company's historical operating results. The Company believes it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of its operating results on the same basis as that used by management. You should not consider adjusted EPS from continuing operations in isolation or as a substitute for EPS from continuing operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, because adjusted EPS from continuing operations may be defined differently by other companies in the Company's industry, the non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Figures may not add due to rounding.
