2.1. General information

2.1.1. About the Parent

The parent of the Benefit Systems Group (the "Group") is Benefit Systems S.A. (the "Company", or the "Parent"). Benefit Systems S.A. is the Group's ultimate reporting entity.

The Parent was established through the transformation of a limited liability company into a joint-stock company. The transformation was effected pursuant to Resolution No. 2/2010 of the General Meeting of 3 November 2010 (entry in the National Court Register maintained by the District Court for the city of Warsaw, 12th Commercial Division, under No. KRS 0000370919, on 19 November 2010). The Parent's Industry Identification Number (REGON) is 750721670. In the reporting period, the identification data of the reporting entity did not change. The shares of the Parent are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

The Parent's registered office is located at Plac Europejski 2, 00-844 Warsaw, Poland. It is also the principal place of business of the Group. The Parent's country of registration in the National Court Register is Poland.

The Group is a provider of non-pay employee benefit solutions in the area of sports and recreation (including the MultiSport Plus, MultiSport Kids, MultiSport Senior, and FitProfit membership cards). The Group also manages fitness clubs within its own network through the Fitness Branch. The fitness club networks owned by the Group provide support and a competitive edge in the area of sport cards. The Group's business relies on synergies between the sale of sport cards and its fitness club infrastructure both in Poland and internationally. Apart from Poland, the Group operates in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Turkey.

The Group also offers the MyBenefit online cafeteria platform, which allows employees of business customers to choose from a variety of non-pay benefits approved by their employer. Moreover, the Group offers solutions in the realm of culture and entertainment, such as the Cinema Programme and MultiTeatr, primarily accessible through the cafeteria platform.

Furthermore, within the MyBenefit cafeteria platform, tools are being developed to engage employees in activities conducted through gamification, an innovative and engaging incentive method based on elements of game mechanics.

The Group is also developing MultiLife, an online accessible product focused on promoting employee well-being, particularly in the areas of mental health, personal development, healthy eating, and physical activity. MultiLife currently combines more than a dozen services such as psychologist's support, mindfulness course, consultations with dieticians and coaches, diet creator, yoga course, access to the Yes2Move online exercise platform, preventive medical examination package, e-books on Legimi, and Leanovatica, a streaming learning service.

The Group's products and services are primarily used by company employees (users), who receive them from their employers (the Group's B2B customers) as non-pay benefits. Customers are also individuals buying a pass or paying for one-off visits to fitness clubs belonging to the Group (B2C customers).

The principal business of the Parent according to the Polish Classification of Activities (PKD) is: Operation of sports facilities (PKD 2007) 93.11.Z.

1) On 29 November 2023, the Extraordinary General Meeting passed a resolution to increase the share capital of Lunching.pl Sp. z o.o., following which the Parent's interest in the company would rise to 88.49%. The share capital increase was registe red with the National Court Register on 16 April 2024. On 4 March 2024, the Parent acquired for PLN 4.1 million the residual shares in Lunching.pl Sp. z o.o., raising its equity interest in the company to 100%. Since the date of acquisition of 73.97% of Lunching.pl shares (13 April 2022), the company has been consolidated based on the assumption that the Group exercises full (100%) control in view of the options included in the share purchase agreement. On 19 April 2024, Benefit Systems S.A. signed agreements regarding its shareholding in Lunching.pl Sp. z o.o. (Note 2.26).

5) On 12 January 2024, the Parent Benefit Systems S.A. acquired 0.46% of shares in subsidiary Benefit Systems International S.A. from minority shareholders for PLN 7.1 million. As Benefit Systems International S.A. holds equity interests in each company within the Foreign Markets segment, the acquisition by the Parent of shares in Benefit Systems International S.A. has had an effect on the Group's equity interests in the segment companies.

6) The company is not consolidated as it does not conduct any business activity.

2.2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

2.2.1. Basis of accounting

This consolidated quarterly report of the Benefit Systems Group was authorised for issue by the Management Board of the Parent on 15 May 2024.

This consolidated quarterly report of the Benefit Systems Group covers the three months ended 31 March 2024 and has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as endorsed by the European Union, and the requirements laid down in the Regulation of the Minister of Finance on current and periodic information to be published by issuers of securities and conditions for recognition as equivalent of information whose disclosure is required under the laws of a non-member state, dated 29 March 2018 (consolidated text: Dz.U. of 2018, item 757).

These interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared in a condensed form and do not contain all the information required to be disclosed in full-year consolidated and separate financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union. Therefore, this report should be read in conjunction with the full-year consolidated and separate financial statements of the Group and the Parent for 2023.

The functional currency of the Parent and the presentation currency of this report is the Polish złoty, and all amounts are expressed in thousands of Polish złoty (unless indicated otherwise). The currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates, i.e., in which it generates and expends cash, is the Polish złoty. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of foreign operations are translated into the Polish currency in accordance with the accounting policies presented below.

The interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group and the Parent will continue as going concerns in the foreseeable future. As at the date of authorisation of this consolidated quarterly report, no circumstances were identified which would indicate any threat to the Group's and the Parent's ability to continue as going concerns.

2.2.2. Accounting policies

The interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements contained in this report have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies presented in the most recent consolidated and separate financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, and in accordance with the policies applied in the same interim period of the previous year.

These interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except with respect to items measured at fair value.

2.2.3. Estimation uncertainty

When preparing the interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements, the Management Board of the Parent is guided by its judgement in making numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting policies applied and the disclosed amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual amounts may differ from the estimates made by the Management Board of the Parent.

For information on the estimates and assumptions relevant to the interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements, see the full-year financial statements of the Group and the Parent for 2023.

2.2.4. Presentation adjustment and change of accounting policies

No corrections of presentation, corrections of errors or changes in accounting policies were made by the Group in the reporting period.

2.3. Operating segments

The Group presents segment information in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments for the current reporting period and the comparative period.

The Group presents results by segments reflecting its long-term investment strategy and the business management model, taking into account the nature of its business. The Group presents the following segments:

    1. Poland
    1. Foreign Markets

The Group generates income and expenses from the above business lines which are reviewed regularly and used to make decisions on resources allocated to each segment and to assess the segments' results.

The Group has separate financial information available for each of the segments.

The Group applies the same accounting policies for all operating segments. The Group accounts for intersegment transactions on an arm's-length basis.

The segment's performance is assessed based on operating profit or loss and EBITDA (which is not a standard measure) defined by the Group as operating profit before depreciation and amortisation. In addition, the Group allocates to the operating segments interest on lease liabilities and share in the results of equity-accounted companies whose business is similar to that of a given segment.

Operating segments include the following activities:

• The Poland segment comprises sales of sport cards, investing in and managing fitness clubs in Poland, and provision of non-pay incentive solutions through the cafeteria platform offering users a broad selection of products.

  • The Foreign Markets segment comprises the Benefit Systems Group's sales of sport cards and management of fitness clubs outside Poland.
  • The Corporate segment encompasses intersegment eliminations. Other income and expenses are related to support functions and other activities not allocated to the operating segments. These include subleasing of space, marketing activities, the operations of the MultiSport Foundation, and expenses related to the Incentive Scheme. Eliminations of assets and liabilities include primarily intersegment loans and trade receivables arising from intersegment transactions.

Revenue disclosed in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss does not differ from revenue presented by the operating segments, except for revenue not allocated to any of the segments and consolidation eliminations on intersegment transactions.

There is no significant concentration of sales to one or more external customers. In the reporting period ended 31 March 2024, the Group did not identify any individual customer which would account for more than 10% of the Group's total revenue.

The segment data are presented down to the level of operating profit as financing decisions are made from the perspective of the Group as a whole.

Measurement of the operating segments' results used in the management calculations is consistent with the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, except for the costs of the Incentive Scheme in the Poland segment, which are presented in the Corporate segment.

Reconciliation of the segments' results to the Group's total results in the three months ended 31 March 2024 and in the comparative period is presented below.

2.3.1. Poland segment

The Poland segment's scope of operations includes non-pay benefits, such as sport cards and the MyBenefit cafeteria platform, management of fitness clubs, and investment in new clubs on the Polish market. The Group also creates online products in areas related to employee well-being as part of its MultiLife platform.

Sport cards are distributed by Benefit Systems S.A. and VanityStyle Sp. z o.o. Currently the following cards are available: MultiSport Plus, MultiSport Classic, MultiSport Light, MultiSport Kids/MultiSport Kids Aqua, MultiSport Student, MultiSport Senior, as well as FitSport and FitProfit.

Sport cards are one of the most popular non-pay benefits in Poland and, at the same time, they are also among the benefits most preferred by employees. Sport cards are unique because they combine, in a single product, benefits for various market participants; they benefit: employers as an effective tool for incentivising employees, cardholders by providing access to numerous facilities and activities, and sports facility operators by generating additional revenue streams. The market potential remains strong, as many Poles do not practise any sports and employers increasingly appreciate the benefits of their employees staying fit and healthy. According to the MultiSport Index 2023 survey, 72% of employees now state that post-pandemic sport cards have become more important for mental and physical health. Additionally, 68% believe that a MultiSport membership card should be an integral part of a basic workplace benefits package. At the end of the reporting period, the number of active cards in Poland was 1,508.8 thousand.

The Group is investing in the development of MyBenefit, its proprietary cafeteria platform offering a wide range of products and services, including the Benefit Systems Group's own products. The platform offers a wide range of benefits including sports and health, culture, entertainment, recreation, as well as domestic and international travel. The offering also comprises shopping vouchers that can be used at popular brand store chains in Poland, training courses, and food offering. Benefits are offered by reliable suppliers, and the partner network comprises approximately 1,900 entities and is constantly adapted to market and customer needs.

MyBenefit allows employees to choose freely from among a range of available benefits, within the limits and budgets set by their employers. Users can select benefits directly from the cafeteria online platform featuring individual user accounts. The solution, which gives employers full control of the benefits selected and simple settlement methods, has been taken up by companies from the manufacturing, services and trade industries, as well as public institutions. The MyBenefit platform is also an important channel for distributing sport cards offered by the Group.

At the same time, new features are being developed within the MyBenefit platform, making it a comprehensive tool for managing employer-employee processes. From the level of MyBenefit, companies can implement gamification and reward systems. They can also handle intranet, employee applications as well as surveys and quizzes.

The Parent is consistently expanding the MultiLife product, which provides access to online services such as language platform, e-books and audiobooks, diet creator, yoga course, mindfulness course, and consultations with experts. MultiLife is an online platform that provides holistic support in caring for employee well-being in four areas: growth, nutrition, health, and psychology.

The Benefit Systems Group also invests in fitness clubs to secure access to an adequate base of sports and recreation facilities. As at the end of March 2024, the Group had 224 own clubs in Poland operated by the Fitness Branch within Benefit Systems S.A. and by Total Fitness Sp. z o.o., Sport Operator Sp. z o.o., FIT 1 Sp. z o.o., FIT 2 Sp. z o.o., FIT 3 Sp. z o.o., Saturn Fitness Group Sp. z o.o., FIT 4 Sp. z o.o., Fit and More Sp. z o.o. Concept Self Investment Sp. z o.o. , Manufaktura Zdrowia Sp. z o.o., Active Sport i Rekreacja Sp. z o.o., Interfit Club 1.0 Sp. z o.o., Interfit Club 4.0 Sp. z o.o., Interfit Club 5.0 Sp. z o.o. and Interfit Consulting Sp. z o.o. Sp.k. The Group's facilities operate under the brands: Zdrofit, Fabryka Formy, Fitness Academy, My Fitness Place, FitFabric, Step One, Total Fitness, Saturn Fitness, Gravitan, Max-Gym, Active Fitness Club, Interfit Club and Aquapark Wesolandia. The Group also held interests in companies managing an additional 15 facilities as at 31 March 2024.

The Group is also developing its online products, such as the exercise platform which provides access to a constantly expanding base of online and live workouts conducted by qualified trainers, and the Yes2Move online store which offers, among other things, food supplements and dietetic food, fitness accessories and many other items to support physical exercise and promote healthy lifestyles.

** Excluding sales of sport cards

Revenue of the Poland segment rose by 33.6% year on year, mainly on the back of an increase in the number of sport cards to 1,508.8 thousand as at the reporting date (vs 1,309.1 thousand in the comparative period) and higher fitness club sales.

On 1 February 2024, the Group acquired Active Point Fit & Gym, a fitness club located in Tychy, which was then integrated into the Fabryka Formy network.

In February 2024, the Company opened four new clubs: two My Fitness Place outlets in Kraków, the Fit Fabric club in Łódź, and the Zdrofit Fort Wola club in Warsaw.

On 8 March 2024, the Company launched its first boutique club Studio Zdrofit, located in the Wilanów district of Warsaw. The new fitness club boasts state-of-the-art technologies, including artificial intelligence solutions.

Consequently, the Group's fitness club count in Poland was 224 as at 31 March 2024, with the number of own fitness clubs reaching 226 as at the issue date of this report.

In addition to the Group's own sports facilities, customers of the MultiSport programme enjoy access to a network of partner facilities, totalling approximately 4.9 thousand as at 31 March 2024.

In the three months to 31 March 2024, the Poland segment recognised depreciation of right-of-use assets of PLN 40.7 million and interest expense on lease liabilities of PLN 9.0 million.

2.3.2. Foreign Markets segment

2.4. Goodwill and acquisition of control of subsidiaries

As at 31 March 2024, goodwill was PLN 575.1 million. The change in goodwill reported in the three months to 31 March 2024 was PLN 1.8 million and was attributed to the acquisition of Active Point Fit & Gym ("Active Point").

Active Point acquisition

On 1 February 2024, the Parent signed an agreement to acquire Active Point Fit & Gym, a fitness club located in Tychy, Poland, for PLN 3.1 million. The club became part of the Fabryka Formy network.

The acquisition was settled by paying PLN 2.8 million in cash on the agreement date and offsetting mutual receivables of PLN 0.3 million.

Upon acquisition of control, the fair value of the total purchase price amounted to PLN 3.1 million.

As part of the provisional accounting for the acquisition, as at the acquisition date the Group allocated the excess of the purchase price over net assets to goodwill in the amount of PLN 1.8 million. The goodwill was allocated to cash generating units in the Poland segment. It stems from expected synergies from the ongoing strategy to build a competitive advantage for its flagship product, sport cards, through selective investments in sports facilities in prime locations in Poland.

As at the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Group had not completed the purchase price allocation process. Work was still in progress to review, identify, and measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. This included verifying the data provided by the seller (operating and financial data, forecasts, and budgets) against the actual performance of the club since its acquisition. Therefore, the goodwill recognised on acquisition of the Active Point fitness club may change within 12 months from the acquisition date.

As at 31 March 2024, the carrying amount of intangible assets was PLN 136.6 million, marking a decrease of PLN 2.1 million on 31 December 2023.

Key initiatives included the rollout of the Cafeteria systems, further enhancements to the MultiLife online platform and mobile app, progress on implementing a new ERP system, automation and synchronisation in MultiSport card management, and automation and optimisation in customer service.

As at 31 March 2024, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was PLN 349.4 million. The PLN 16.1 million increase in property, plant and equipment relative to the end of 2023 was mainly attributable to investments totalling PLN 37.9 million in new and existing fitness clubs.

2.7. Cash and cash equivalents

As at 31 March 2024, cash stood at PLN 561.4 million. The PLN 127.4 million increase in cash relative to the end of 2023 was mainly driven by cash provided by operating activities, totalling PLN 244.8 million, which was allocated predominantly to investments in new and existing fitness clubs (PLN 31.8 million), the development of business and sales systems and online platforms for customers (PLN 11.2 million), acquisitions (PLN 11.9 million), and current lease payments (PLN 54.2 million).

In the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, there is a decrease in liabilities of PLN 11.7 million, while in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position the decrease in trade payables, other payables and contract liabilities is PLN 18.7 million. The difference was due primarily to the settlement of the obligation to deliver shares under the Incentive Scheme of PLN 18.6 million, non-cash offsets of trade payables to partners with loans advanced to partners of PLN 1.1 million, a PLN 6.3 million increase in liabilities under purchases of non-financial non-current assets, and repayments of other financial liabilities of PLN 0.7 million.

2.8. Share capital

In the three months ended 31 March 2024, the following had a material bearing on the Group's finance income and costs: interest received on bank deposits, unrealised foreign exchange gains recognised on the measurement of lease liabilities, and interest expense on bank borrowings and lease liabilities.

2.13. Income tax

In the three months ended 31 March 2024, the Group's effective tax rate was 21%, close to the effective tax rate of the Parent.

The Group did not recognise a deferred tax asset of PLN 3.6 million on tax losses at some of the Group companies due to the low probability of the companies generating taxable income against which the losses could be settled.

As at the end of March 2024, the current income tax liability stood at PLN 114.8 million, representing a PLN 23.9 million increase compared with the end of 2023. The increase was driven by:

  • application by the Parent of the simplified method of income tax payment in 2023 (advance payments of one-twelfth of the tax payable for 2021). On 2 April 2024, the Parent paid tax of PLN 80.8 million for 2023;
  • application by the Parent of the simplified method of income tax payment in 2024 (advance payments of one-twelfth of the tax payable for 2022). The due date for payment of the tax liability for 2024 is 31 March 2025.

2.14. Seasonality of operations

The industry in which the Group operates is subject to seasonal variation. In the third quarter of the calendar year, the activity of holders of sport cards and fitness club passes tends to be lower than in the first, second and fourth quarters of the year, which affects revenue, costs and profitability of the sport card business and the operation of fitness clubs. On the other hand, seasonality of sales in the Cafeterias segment is reflected in an increase in revenues in the last month of the year, partly attributable to the Christmas period.

2.15. Significant events and transactions in the period

Transactions with minority shareholders

On 12 January 2024, the Parent Benefit Systems S.A. acquired 0.46% of shares in subsidiary Benefit Systems International S.A. from minority shareholders for PLN 7.1 million.

Increase of the Parent's share capital in connection with the implementation of the Incentive Scheme

On 23 January 2024, the Parent issued 24,750 series G shares in connection with the exercise by eligible persons of their rights under series L subscription warrants granted as part of the 2021-2025 Incentive Scheme (Note 2.18).

As a result, following the issuance of the shares, the Parent's share capital amounts to PLN 2,958,292 and is divided into 2,958,292 ordinary bearer shares with a nominal value of PLN 1 of the following series: 2,204,842 series A shares; 200,000 series B shares; 150,000 series C shares; 120,000 series D shares; 74,700 series E shares; 184,000 series F shares; 24,750 series G shares.

The total number of voting rights carried by all outstanding Parent shares is 2,958,292.

After the issuance of the shares, the amount of the conditional share capital increase stipulated in the Parent's Articles of Association for the purposes of the Incentive Scheme fell from PLN 125,000 (equivalent to 125,000 shares with a nominal value of PLN 1 per share) to PLN 100,250.

Acquisition of a business in the form of Active Point Fit & Gym fitness club

On 1 February 2024, the Parent acquired Active Point Fit & Gym, a fitness club located in Tychy, Poland, for PLN 3.1m (Note 2.4). The club was integrated into the Fabryka Formy network.

The Company continues to see consistently high interest in its sports offerings from both employers and employees across all markets of operation.

The ranking table showcases leading companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, selected through a survey conducted among 100 stock analysts, investment advisers, and managers.

Furthermore, the Company received a nomination for the mWIG40 Company of the Year award in the Bulls and Bears 2023 ranking.

New fitness club openings

In February 2024, the 58th Zdrofit club in Warsaw opened its doors in Fort Wola. Spanning 1,600 m2 , the facility features eight distinct areas: fitness, cycling, strength training machines, cardio, functional training, stretching, personal training, and wellness. Its 200 m2 fitness room ranks among the largest in this part of Warsaw.

In February 2024, the My Fitness Place club network expanded with the addition of two facilities in Kraków, each occupying approximately 800 m2 . In the same month, the Fit Fabric fitness club opened in the Galeria Retkińska shopping mall in Łódź, with an area of over 1,300 m2 .

In March 2024, the Company opened its first boutique club, Studio Zdrofit, in the Wilanów district of Warsaw. This innovative concept club incorporates cutting-edge technologies in training, such as artificial intelligence, alongside unique group class formats and comprehensive training support.

This led to an increase in Benefit Systems S.A.'s own fitness club count in Poland to 224 by 31 March 2024 and to 226 as at the issue date of this report.

As at 31 March 2024, the Group operated 31 fitness clubs in foreign markets, a number that expanded to 35 by the issue date of this report.

ZaczyNAJ

In 2024, anyone starting training at the Group's clubs, whether with a B2C membership or a MultiSport card, can use the onboarding ZaczyNAJ bundle. The package helps new customers get familiar with the club's offerings and set their training goals. It includes two sessions with a personal trainer and a 10-week training plan.

MultiSport Foundation

In March 2024, an educational event was hosted as part of the minicity initiative at Centrum Praskie Koneser in Warsaw, highlighting the inspirational narrative 'How the Best Play', which promotes sports for people with disabilities. The story was distributed to schools and educational institutions and is also available for free download in both ebook and audiobook formats. It comes with educational resources for teachers to facilitate special lessons and discussions with children. The publication includes a therapeutic storytelling script, which can also serve as valuable material for parents. The project was developed through collaboration between the MultiSport Foundation and the Zaczytani.org Foundation, with Jan Mela as its ambassador.

2.17. Outlook

The Group invariably sees high long-term growth potential for the MultiSport programme in Poland and foreign markets. Public awareness of health protection and immune system strengthening has increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has led to a rise in user activity and the popularity of sport cards. Both in Poland and in foreign markets, the Group has observed other trends that support further development of the sport card market. These trends include low unemployment rates coupled with a strong labour market, and an increased tendency to use sports products among the younger generations at the beginning of their professional careers.

According to the Group's estimates, the long-term potential of the sport card market ranges from 2.5 to 2.8 million cards in Poland and from 1.7 to 1.9 million cards abroad (Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Croatia).

The outlook for the coming periods is significantly affected by the economic situation in the countries where the Group operates, including continuing high prices of energy, raw materials and fuels, inflation pressure, regulatory changes, slowing business activity in certain industries leading to increased unemployment, or depreciation of local currencies, which, in turn, may increase operating costs and hamper the demand for the services and products offered by the Group. On the other hand, according to the European Commission's forecasts, in 2024 and 2025, the Group's main markets are expected to experience a decline in inflation, a gradual acceleration in GDP growth, and a decrease or no significant increase in the unemployment rate. This may drive demand for the Group's services and products and reduce upward pressure on operating costs.

2.18. Incentive Scheme

Pursuant to resolutions of the General Meeting, Benefit Systems S.A. has in place an Incentive Scheme (the "Incentive Scheme") for senior and middle management of the Parent and for the Benefit Systems Group subsidiaries with which the Parent has entered into relevant agreements. Under the Scheme, eligible employees receive subscription warrants convertible into shares in the Parent.

On 3 February 2021, the Supervisory Board resolved to establish an Incentive Scheme for 2021–2025 at the Parent. The purpose of the Incentive Scheme is to provide an incentive system that would promote employee productivity and loyalty, aimed at achieving strong financial performance and a long-term increase in the Parent's value. In the 2021–2025 edition of the Incentive Scheme, its participants (up to 149 persons) will be able to acquire up to a total of 125,000 subscription warrants (which, upon conversion into shares, will represent up to 4.1% of the Parent's (post-issue) share capital), entitling them to subscribe for a specific number of shares in the Parent in five equal tranches.

The vesting of the warrants will depend on the satisfaction of certain loyalty and effectiveness criteria set out in the Incentive Scheme Rules, and the operation of the Incentive Scheme in a given year will be subject to the mandatory condition that a specified level of consolidated operating profit adjusted for the accounting cost of the Incentive Scheme is achieved for a given financial year.

By decision of the General Meeting, the warrants not granted for 2021 may increase the number of warrants for 2023 (up to 12,500 Series K1 warrants) and 2025 (up to 12,500 Series K2 warrants). Series K1 Warrants will be granted in a number representing 50%, 75% and 100% of the maximum number of Series K1 Warrants only if the cumulative consolidated adjusted operating profit (net of the costs of the Incentive Scheme) exceeds the sum of the thresholds for 2021-2023, i.e., PLN 400 million, PLN 460 million and PLN 515 million, respectively. In the case of Series K2, the warrants will be granted if cumulative consolidated adjusted operating profit (net of the costs of the Incentive Scheme) for 2021-2025 exceeds the sum of the thresholds for that period (PLN 825 million, PLN 920 million and PLN 1,010 million), in a number representing, respectively, 50%, 75% and 100% of the maximum number of Series K2 warrants.

Following the achievement of 100% of the threshold for the condition relating to adjusted consolidated operating profit of the Group for 2023, 25,000 Series Ł subscription warrants were granted to senior management (including the Management Board of the Parent) on 18 March 2024. Following the achievement of 100% of the threshold for the condition relating to adjusted consolidated operating profit of the Group for 2021–2023, 12,500 Series K1 subscription warrants were granted on 18 March 2024. The fair value of the subscription warrants granted to the employees was estimated as at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model.

Valuation of Incentive Scheme options – Black-Scholes model
Data Series K1 and Ł warrants
X (t) – share price at the valuation date (PLN) 2,500.00
P – option exercise price (PLN) 752.01
r – risk-free rate for PLN 5.18%
T – expiry date 31 December 2025
t – current day (for pricing purposes) 18 March 2024
Sigma – daily variability 27.58%

The estimated total cost of the tranche for 2021 and 2023 granted on 18 March 2024 amounted to PLN 68.0 million, with PLN 7.6 million recognised by the Group in profit or loss for the reporting period. In 2023, the Group incurred

costs of PLN 6.3 million for the 2022 tranche of the Scheme, with PLN 1.3 million recorded in the three months to 31 March 2023.

The final verification to confirm whether the conditions for granting subscription warrants to eligible individuals (excluding Management Board members) have been met will be decided by the Management Board within 30 days of the Annual General Meeting approving the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2023. For Management Board members, this verification will be decided by the Supervisory Board.

2.19. Dividend

On 15 December 2022, the Management Board of the Parent adopted a dividend policy for 2023-2025, under which the Management Board will recommend to the General Meeting payment of dividend of at least 60% of the Group's consolidated net profit for the previous financial year, less any unrealised foreign exchange gains or losses for the same period. The Management Board's recommendation will take into account the financial and liquidity position, growth prospects and investment needs of the Parent and the Group. The dividend policy is effective and applies as of the distribution of profit for the financial year ended 31 December 2022. The policy was positively assessed by the Supervisory Board of the Parent on 15 December 2022. The Management Board of the Parent also resolved to disapply the Dividend Policy for 2020–2023.

By the date of this report, the Parent's Management Board did not resolve to recommend a dividend payment from the profit for the financial year 2023.

2.20. Shareholding structure

The equity and voting interests held in the Parent take account of the increase in the Parent's share capital made within the limit of its conditional share capital. Series D shares were acquired as part of the conditional share capital by holders of Series D, Series E and Series F subscription warrants granted by the Parent in accordance with the terms of the 2014–2016 Incentive Scheme, Series E shares – by holders of Series G, H and I subscription warrants granted by the Parent in accordance with the terms of the 2017−2020 Incentive Scheme, and Series G shares – by holders of Series L subscription warrants granted by the Parent in accordance with the terms of the 2021−2025 Incentive Scheme.

Antitrust proceedings against Benefit Systems S.A.

On 22 June 2018, the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (the "President of UOKiK") initiated antitrust proceedings against Benefit Systems S.A. (and other entities) regarding allegations of forming a market-sharing cartel in the fitness club market, engaging in concerted practices related to exclusive cooperation arrangements with fitness clubs, and participating in concerted practices to limit competition in the market for sports and recreation package services (the "Proceedings").

On 4 January 2021, the Parent received a decision from the President of UOKiK (the "Decision") concerning one of the three alleged breaches for which the Procedure was initiated.

The President of UOKiK recognised the Company's participation in a market-sharing agreement between 2012 and 2017 as a practice restricting competition in the domestic market for the provision of fitness services in clubs, which constitutes an infringement of Art. 6.1.3 of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection and Art. 101.1.c of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The President of UOKiK imposed fines on the parties to the Proceedings, including: on the Company in the amount of PLN 26,915,218.36 (taking into account the succession resulting from the merger of the Company with those of its subsidiaries which are also named in the Proceedings) and on its subsidiary (Yes to Move sp. z o.o., formerly: Fitness Academy sp. z o.o.) in the amount of PLN 1,748.74. Guided by, among other things, an analysis of wellknown cases involving competition-restricting practices, where courts have often decided to significantly reduce fines imposed on businesses (in some cases by as much as 60-90%), and by the opinion of lawyers, the Company recognised a provision for the fine of PLN 10.8 million in 2020.

The Parent did not agree with the Decision and filed an appeal against the Decision within the period prescribed by law.

On 21 August 2023, the Polish Court of Competition and Consumer Protection (the "Court") dismissed the Parent's appeal against the Decision. The Court's judgment is not final. The Parent disagrees with the judgment and has filed an appeal within the prescribed time frame. Following legal advice, as at 31 March 2024, the Parent maintained the provision at an unchanged amount.

With respect to the two other alleged breaches (alleged concerted practices with respect to exclusive cooperation arrangements with fitness clubs, and alleged concerted practices to restrict competition in the market for sports and recreation package services), the proceedings were closed following the issue, on 7 December 2021, of a decision by the President of UOKiK ("Decision 2") under Art. 12.1 of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection of 16 February 2007. By Decision 2, the President of UOKiK did not impose any fine on the Company and obliged the Company to take certain measures described in Note 34.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for 2022, which were fully implemented by the Parent by the prescribed deadline.

2.24. Management Board's position regarding delivery against profit forecasts

The Benefit Systems Group and the Parent have not released any profit forecasts for 2024.

2.25. Related-party transactions executed by the Group on non-arm's length terms

In the reporting period, the Group did not enter into any related-party transactions that individually or jointly would be significant and would be concluded on non-arm's length terms.

2.26. Events after the reporting date

Acquisition of 100% of shares in H.O.L.S. D.O.O. of Croatia

On 2 April 2024, Fit Invest d.o.o. completed the acquisition of 100% of shares in H.O.L.S. D.O.O. ("HOLS"). The acquisition price comprises: (i) EUR 2.5 million paid on 2 April 2024; (ii) EUR 2.5 million to be paid within 14 days from the date of share sale registration; and (iii) an amount determined as per the agreement (EUR 0.3 million increased by settlements of revenue from MultiSport membership cards and decreased by liabilities specified in the agreement), to be calculated and paid by 30 June 2024.

According to Fit Invest D.O.O.'s best estimate of the latter amount, the fair value of the total acquisition price as at the date of acquisition of control is EUR 5.02 million.

Following the HOLS acquisition, three fitness clubs located in Zagreb, Croatia, and one fitness club under construction were integrated into the Group's foreign fitness club portfolio. The acquired facilities operated under the OrlandoFit brand. After the acquisition, they were rebranded and now operate under The Fitness brand.

Goodwill resulting from the HOLS acquisition will be allocated to the Croatia cash-generating unit and assigned to the Foreign Markets operating segment. As at the date of this consolidated quarterly report, the acquisition price allocation process had not been completed, with work under way to review, identify and measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. Therefore, as at the date of this report, it is not possible to reliably estimate the goodwill arising from the HOLS acquisition.

Agreements to acquire and subscribe for shares in SmartLunch S.A. in exchange for shares in Lunching.pl Sp. z o.o.

On 19 April 2024, the Parent and SmartLunch S.A. ("SmartLunch") signed an investment agreement, shareholder agreement and share sale agreement (collectively referred to as the "Agreements"), outlining the terms and conditions for the Parent's investment in SmartLunch.

with the proviso that the acquisition and subscription for the SmartLunch shares will occur upon the registration of the new Series B shares by the competent registry court and upon the registration of the Parent as the buyer of Series A shares in the SmartLunch shareholders' register.

On 19 April 2024, the Parent made the following payments:

  • PLN 27 million was paid to a notary's deposit account as a portion of the price for the shares (PLN 3 million) and a portion of the cash contribution for new shares (PLN 24 million)
  • PLN 11.5 million was transferred to the bank accounts of the selling shareholders and SmartLunch as the remaining portion of the price for the shares (PLN 3.5 million) and the remaining portion of the cash contribution for new shares (PLN 8 million).

As a result of the Agreements and following registration by the competent registry court of the increase in SmartLunch's share capital resulting from the issue of new Series B shares and entry in the shareholder register, the Parent will hold 312,936 SmartLunch shares, representing 18.53% of the total share capital and conferring 18.53% of the voting rights at the General Meeting. LF Akcelerator Sp. z o.o. will remain the main shareholder with 39.26% of the share capital, representing 39.26% of the voting rights at SmartLunch's General Meeting.

The Agreements grant Benefit Systems S.A. the pre-emptive right to acquire the remaining SmartLunch shares from the other shareholders in the coming years.

The Agreements include security provisions and other standard terms.

The estimated value of the SmartLunch shares acquired and subscribed for by the Parent is PLN 59.3 million.

SmartLunch specialises in comprehensive corporate nutrition services, including canteen management, employee catering, lunch card and restorative meal sales, and vending machine operation. The investment in SmartLunch aims to strengthen Benefit Systems' position in the employee food benefits market.

As at 31 March 2024, the carrying amount of Lunching Sp. z o.o.'s net assets, as disclosed in the Benefit Systems Group's condensed consolidated financial statements, amounted to PLN 0.8 million, with goodwill recognised on the acquisition totalling PLN 14.6 million.

Acquisition of shares in Good Luck Club GLC Sp. z o.o.

On 29 April 2024, the Parent acquired 100% of shares in Good Luck Club GLC Sp. z o.o. ("Good Luck"). The transaction involved acquiring four fitness clubs located in Gdańsk (one club), Pruszcz Gdański (two clubs), and Banino (one club).

The total acquisition price was PLN 27.7 million. In the three months to 31 March 2024, the Company paid a PLN 2.4 million advance to the seller, with the balance of PLN 25.3 million paid on 29 April 2024 as follows: PLN 22.5 million was paid to the seller's bank account, PLN 2 million was paid to a notary's deposit account as security for the club in Banino and PLN 0.8 million was paid to a notary's deposit account as security for the renovation of the club in Pruszcz Gdański. The ownership of the shares was transferred on 29 April 2024.

The share price may be adjusted by: (i) reducing it by PLN 5.5 million if the fitness club is not handed over to Good Luck, and by PLN 0.8m if the renovation of the fitness club is not completed within the time limit specified in the agreement, (ii) by reducing or increasing it by an amount of up to PLN 0.1 million, calculated in accordance with contractual provisions (Good Luck's revenue from the sale of passes and MultiSport membership card services accounted for on an accrual basis).

The goodwill from the acquisition of Good Luck will be allocated to a cash generating unit and assigned to the Poland operating segment. As at the date of this consolidated quarterly report, the acquisition price allocation process had not been completed, with work under way to review, identify and measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. Therefore, as at the date of this report, it is not possible to reliably estimate the goodwill from the acquisition of Good Luck Club GLC Sp. z o.o.

Merger of Benefit Systems S.A. with Total Fitness Sp. z o.o. and Saturn Fitness Group Sp. z o.o.

The merger of Benefit Systems S.A. (as the acquirer) with Total Fitness Sp. z o.o. and Saturn Fitness Group Sp. z o.o. (as the acquirees) was registered on 10 May 2024. Following the merger, Total Fitness Sp. z o.o. and Saturn Fitness Group Sp. z o.o. ceased to exist, and Benefit Systems S.A. assumed the rights and obligations of the merged companies.
