2.2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

2.2.1. Basis of preparation

This consolidated quarterly report of the Benefit Systems Group was authorised for issue by the Management Board of the parent on November 9th 2021.

This consolidated quarterly report of the Benefit Systems Group covers the nine months ended September 30th 2021 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 March 29th 2018 (consolidated text: Dz. U. of 2018, item 757).

The 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. This report should be read in conjunction with the full-year consolidated and separate financial statements of the Group and the parent for 2020 and with the interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements of the Group and the parent for the six months to June 30th 2021.

The functional currency of the parent and the presentation currency for data contained in this report is the Polish złoty, and all amounts are expressed in thousands of Polish złoty (unless indicated otherwise).

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 December 31st 2020, and in accordance with the policies applied in the same interim period of the previous year, except for the application of the practical expedient provided by the amendment to IFRS 16 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was first applied in preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements for the year ended December 31st 2020. The practical expedient gives the lessee the option not to assess whether a rent concession is a lease modification and to account for any change in lease payments resulting from the rent concession the same way it would account for the change if the change were not a lease modification. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and only under certain conditions.

The amendment does not affect lessors.

The amendment applies to annual periods beginning on or after June 1st 2020. The Group applied the amendment retrospectively, with no effect the balance of retained earnings as at January 1st 2020.

The interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except with respect to items measured at fair value, such as a liability arising from contingent payment for acquired shares.

2.2.3. Uncertainty of estimates

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 2020.

2.2.4. Correction of errors and changes in accounting policies

No 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
    1. Cafeterias

The Group generates income and expenses from the above business lines which are reviewed regularly by the operating decision makers 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 segments' 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 of profits (losses) of equity-accounted entities whose business is similar to that of a given segment.

In the reporting period, the Group did not identify any individual customer which would account for more than 10% of the Group's total revenue.

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.

Reconciliation of the segments' results with the Group's total results in the six months ended September 30th 2021 and in the comparative period is presented below.

There is no significant concentration of sales to one or more external customers. In the reporting period of the nine months ended September 30th 2021, the Group did not identify any individual customer which would account for more than 10% of the Group's total revenue.

The unallocated expenses are costs of the Incentive Scheme, support functions and other activities not allocated to any of the identified operating segments. Eliminations of assets mainly include loans and trade receivables.

2.3.1. Poland

The Poland segment comprises the sale of sport cards, management of fitness clubs and investments in new clubs on the Polish market. Sport cards are distributed by Benefit Systems S.A. and VanityStyle Sp. z o.o. The companies currently offer the following cards: MultiSport Plus, MultiSport Classic, MultiSport Light, MultiSport Kids/MultiSport Kids Aqua,

MultiSport Student, MultiSport Senior, as well as FitSport and FitProfit. In addition, Benefit Systems S.A. offers the MultiLife product.

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. At the end of the reporting period, the number of active cards in Poland was 709.3 thousand.

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 September 2021, the Group had 155 own clubs in Poland operated by the Fitness Branch, a part of Benefit Systems S.A., and Fit Fabric Sp. z o.o. The Group's facilities operate under the following brands: Zdrofit, Fabryka Formy, Fitness Academy, My Fitness Place, FitFabric, Step One, S4 and AquaPark Wesolandia. The Group also held equity interests in companies managing another 41 facilities. In addition, the parent operates the Atmosfera Multisport club, which organises activities for children and young people.

As a result of the continuing restrictions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in particular the shutdown of sports facilities until May 28th 2021, the Poland segment's revenue fell 33% year on year.

In order to enhance sales, the Group redirected its efforts to intensive development of 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 articles to support physical exercise and promote a healthy lifestyle. At the beginning of the year, the parent launched MultiLife – a product providing access to online services such as the Diet Creator (Kreator Diety), a language platform, a mindfulness course and online consultations with experts.

As the sports facilities were closed, a significantly lower cost of user visits was recognised in cost of sales. In response to the pandemic, steps were also taken to reduce direct costs of sports facilities as well as selling expenses (including marketing costs) and administrative expenses. Other cost categories that also went down were the cost of services, salaries and wages,

consumption of materials, and the cost of contributions payable to the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS), which were subject to exemption under a governmental public aid programme (anti-crisis shield), amounting to PLN 9.7m.

On May 28th 2021, the Group reopened 121 own clubs. 150 own clubs were opened by the end of September 2021, in accordance with the planned reopening schedule. Steps were taken primarily to restore the customer base as soon as possible and to improve the attractiveness of the fitness clubs' range of services.

In June 2021, measures were launched to promote the MultiSport brand and encourage customers to return to sports facilities with a view to restoring the sport card base. At the same time, activities were initiated as part of the next edition of the MultiSport Summer Game, which encourages sport card holders to collect points through physical activity. September 2021 saw the launch of the Get Ready! (Przygotuj się!) campaign, which encourages Poles to exercise regularly to support their body and mind in addressing everyday challenges. The purpose of the campaign is to educate Poles on the positive impact of exercise and sports on the quality of life, health and well-being. The promotional efforts cover new services that focus on improving mental well-being through physical activity. A new addition to the Group's fitness offering is the Stress Reliever (Antystres) programme dedicated to people with intensive lifestyles and long-term stress exposure.

In 2021, the Group initiated the Zdrofit Zdrowe Miejsce (ZZM – Zdrofit Healthy Place) project, with 10 clubs providing physical therapy and kinesitherapy services opening (in Warsaw and its vicinity) at the beginning of May, followed by another six (in Kraków, Poznań, Wrocław, and Łódź) in the third quarter of the year. As part of the therapy by movement and exercise (kinesitherapy), Zdrofit Healthy Place patients receive, among other things, individualised Fitness Improvement Programmes prepared for them by physiotherapists.

In the third quarter of 2021, cooperation was initiated with the Marshal Office of the Warsaw Province (Mazovia) in Warsaw, under which medical facilities (Zdrofit Healthy Place clubs) will implement a health policy programme involving physiotherapy treatment for patients with post-COVID-19 symptoms.

In the first nine months of 2021, four fitness clubs owned by Benefit Systems S.A. (one in the My Fitness Place network, one in the S4 network and one in Fit Fabric network) were closed down. The closures had a positive effect of PLN 3.17m on the results for the nine months ended September 30th 2021, as the cost of early termination fees (-PLN 0.58m) was more than offset by the positive effect of termination of lease contracts (+PLN 3.75m). In September 2021, a provision was recognised for the expected early termination of lease contracts for three fitness clubs (-PLN 1.75m).

In September 2021, a new My Fitness Place club was opened in Kraków, in the high-5ive complex of modern office buildings.

In the first three quarters of 2021, the Poland segment recognised depreciation of right-of-use assets of PLN 79.7m and interest expense on lease liabilities of PLN 7.8m.

The financial result for the first nine months of the year includes the effect of renegotiation and reduction of lease rents of PLN 15.6m.

At the end of 2020, restrictions were in place across all markets of the segment, preventing customers from using the MultiSport programme, and the fitness companies in the Czech, Slovak and Bulgarian markets from operating the clubs. The situation continued throughout January 2021.

At the end of January 2021, some of the restrictions were lifted on the Bulgarian market, which enabled continuation of the MultiSport programme and reopening of fitness clubs from February 1st 2021. The Group's own clubs and partner locations were reopened under the applicable sanitary protocol (one person per 15 square metres), but this had no significant impact on the activity of cardholders and club members.

When the lockdown was introduced in November 2020, the number of active cards in Bulgaria was 86.9 thousand. After the restrictions were lifted in February 2021, the number stood at 69.7 thousand. In March, the number of active cards increased again, to 78.8 thousand. In the second half of March, as the number of new COVID-19 cases grew again, the Bulgarian government decided to reintroduce restrictions on selected business sectors, including the fitness industry. Lockdown on the Bulgarian market lasted from March 22nd to March 31st 2021, and both the MultiSport programme and the activities of fitness clubs were suspended during that time. In the following months, the incidence of COVID-19 in Bulgaria continued to escalate, prompting the authorities to impose new restrictions, including a cap on the number of fitness club users at 30% of a club's maximum capacity, and a cap on the number of users of group fitness activities of ten people per activity. As at the end of the third quarter, there were 89.5 thousand active cards, up almost 20% year on year.

In the first half of February 2021, the government of Croatia decided to lift some restrictions. As a result, the MultiSport Programme was re-launched in Croatia on February 15th. Before the lockdown was introduced in November 2020, 13.7 thousand cards had been active in the Croatian market. In February 2021, after the re-launch of the MultiSport programme, the number of active cards stood at 8.6 thousand, but it returned to the pre-lockdown level already in March. In the following months, the Croatian government did not impose any new restrictions and the Group saw a steady increase in the number of cards, of approximately several hundred per month, closing the third quarter of 2021 with a total of 15.1 thousand cards (up 20% year on year).

In the Czech and Slovak markets, a 'hard lockdown' was in force throughout the first quarter of 2021, and both the MultiSport programme and the activities of fitness clubs were suspended. Prior to the introduction of the lockdown in December 2020, the number of cards on the Czech and Slovak markets had been 134.8 thousand and 18.4 thousand, respectively.

As the pandemic situation in the country improved, the Slovak government decided to lift the restrictions, enabling the reopening of fitness clubs and re-launch of the MultiSport programme on May 1st 2021. In the following months, in response to the growing number of new COVID-19 infections, the Slovak government introduced further restrictions, including a cap on the number of fitness club users that can be present on a club's premises at any given time. At the end of the third quarter of 2021, the number of cards was 30.8 thousand, down 23% year on year.

In the Czech market, restrictions were lifted, fitness clubs were reopened and the MultiSport programme was re-launched on May 17th 2021. In the third quarter of 2021, no new restrictions were introduced, allowing the Group to report 140.4 thousand cards at the end of September.

As at the end of the third quarter of 2021, cumulative revenue was PLN 103.7m less year on year. The revenue erosion was caused by the restrictions, which led to suspension or limitation of the MultiSport programme and fitness club operations for the duration of the lockdown periods, and by a decrease in the total number of MultiSport cards within the segment by 15.0 thousand relative to September 2020. In addition, the results for the first half of 2020a included a one-off adjustment due to VAT refund in the Czech Republic for 2019, which increased revenue and operating profit for the nine months ended September 30th 2020 by PLN 32.1m and PLN 16.9m, respectively.

As at the end of the third quarter of 2021, 4.2 thousand partner locations were active in the entire segment, down 0.1 thousand on the end of September 2020.

As at the end of the third quarter of 2021, the company was operating own fitness clubs in the Czech Republic (13 clubs), Bulgaria (nine clubs) and Slovakia (two clubs). At the end of the third quarter of 2021, one new club was launched in Slovakia (Stanica Nivy) and there were plans to open one new club on the Czech market (Pankrac) by the end of 2021.

Companies of the Foreign Markets segment actively benefited from support schemes offered by the local governments as well as the European Union to mitigate the adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These schemes included:

  • rent subsidies,
  • wage subsidies,
  • waivers of social security contributions,
  • compensation for revenue decrease.

The total amount of grants recognised in the nine months ended September 30th 2021 in the Foreign Markets segment was PLN 15m.

2.3.3. Cafeterias

The Cafeterias segment is responsible for developing the MyBenefit and MultiKafeteria non-pay employee benefit platforms, which offer a wide range of products and services, including the Benefit Systems Group's own products. The segment's offering is focused on benefits spanning culture, entertainment, recreation, leisure, as well as domestic and foreign 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 nearly four thousand entities and is constantly adapted to market and customer needs.

The MyBenefit and MultiKafeteria cafeteria platforms allow users 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 Cafeteria – an 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 Cafeteria platforms are also an important channel for distributing sport cards offered by the Group.

The MultiBilet Cinema Programme is an independent pillar of the Group's culture and entertainment offering, with tickets available to over 200 partner cinemas across Poland (including Cinema City, Helios and Multikino, in addition to a number of local cinemas).

The QlturaProfit vouchers offered by VanityStyle Sp. z o.o. allow their holders to enjoy selected plays, films and exhibitions as part of a cultural offering created by about 55 theatres, 170 cinemas, 50 museums and 25 thematic parks across Poland.

In addition to the Cafeteria platforms and the Cinema Programme, the Group offers MultiTeatr, MultiMuzeum, MultiZoo and BenefitLunch, providing access to numerous theatres, museums, zoos and restaurants.

Starting from 2021, the Cafeterias segment includes the results of YesIndeed Sp. z o.o., a company providing staff activation services in the B2B model.

The services are divided into two categories:

  • services for sales departments offered under the YesIndeed brand, and
  • services for entire organisations offered under the WannaBuy brand.

The main element of the projects is gamification with tangible and intangible rewards, based on results imported from sales, HR and payroll, and sports systems.

Number of users (in thousands) 552.0 489.6 62.4

* Based on the value of services provided and settlement of intermediation in payments in the MultiKafeteria, MyBenefit and WannaBuy cafeteria e-platforms.

As at the end of September 2021, the MyBenefit and MultiKafeteria e-platforms combined had almost 512 thousand users, up 22.1 thousand year on year. MyBenefit's customer base grew by 102 year on year.

The increase in the number of users translated into a PLN 31.9m year-on-year increase in turnover generated through and outside of platforms over the period.

As the product offering had been adjusted in the face of the pandemic, the loss of turnover in the categories adversely affected by COVID-19 (sport cards, cinema) was offset by higher sales in the store category (PLN 181.5m in January–September 2021 vs PLN 128.5m in the same period of the year before).

The increase in administrative expenses in 2021 was driven by higher personnel costs and a change in the cost allocation method within the organisation. The year-on-year growth in personnel costs was attributable to the establishment of a new department, tasked mainly with planning, implementing new development directions and enhancing the product mix. The change in the cost allocation method related to the recognition of costs of back-office departments, such as administration, HR and IT, which until 2020 had been allocated to the costs of the departments to which the relevant internal service was provided and, as a result, presented in accordance with the nature of a given department under cost of sales, selling expenses or administrative expenses. Starting from 2021, these costs have been fully charged to administrative expenses.

The year-on-year decrease in cost of sales recorded at the end of September 2021 was largely attributable to lower costs of maintaining the cafeteria system and lower personnel costs, as well as the change in the cost allocation method.

The lower selling expenses reflected mainly the decrease in personnel costs and change in the cost allocation method.

The PLN 0.3m increase in depreciation and amortisation is attributable to capitalisation of expenditure related to the investment programme focusing on the development and upgrade of the cafeteria system and aimed at offering more attractive IT solutions to users.

As at the end of September 2021, the Cafeterias segment recognised close to PLN 1.4m in depreciation of right-of-use assets and PLN 82 thousand in interest expense on lease liabilities.

2.3.4. Corporate

Revenue recognised in the segment primarily includes eliminations of inter-segment transactions, with the most significant item being settlements for the provision of cafeteria platforms as sales channels for sport cards. The Corporate segment also includes income other than from sales of non-pay incentive products, costs of the Incentive Scheme, and elimination of inter-segment costs.

Total finance income and costs (9,874) (14,034) (47,976) (8,978)

In the third quarter of 2021, the Group's finance income was mainly affected by partial reversal of the positive effect of unrealised exchange differences recognised in the six months ended June 30th 2021. Foreign exchange gains recognised by the Group fell from PLN 12.2m to PLN 1.6m, reducing finance income by PLN 10.6m.

2.5. Income tax

January 1st to September
30th 2021
Current tax (4,371)
Deferred tax 7,082
Total income tax: income tax (expense)/ benefit recognised in profit or loss 2,711

In the nine months ended September 30th 2021, the effective income tax rate was 5%. The change in the effective tax expense was due mainly to the fact that some of the Group companies did not recognise deferred tax assets on tax losses (PLN 5.2m) and deductible temporary

differences (PLN 3m). The effect was partially offset by the recognition of non-taxable income on the measurement of earn-out liability (PLN 0.6m) and the positive effect of an adjustment to taxable income of PLN 1.7m resulting from a change in the royalty rate under a licensing agreement between the parent and its subsidiary Benefit IP Sp. z o.o. sp. k. for the use of trademarks as of January 1st 2020.

Tax rates applied by the Group companies:

January 1st to September
30th 2021
Poland* 19%
Czech Republic 19%
Slovakia 21%
Bulgaria 10%
Croatia 18%
Turkey 25%

* Excluding YesIndeed Sp. z o.o., which applies a preferential rate of 9%.

2.6. Intangible assets

The balance of the Group's intangible assets grew 27% over the nine months. The change was mainly attributable to expenditures recognised in the Poland and Cafeterias segments. In the Poland segment, the increase of intangible assets was attributable to capitalised expenditure on the digitalisation of services and implementation of advanced tools, e.g. to support customer service. In the Cafeterias segment, the newly recognised intangible assets included mainly capitalised development expense on the cafeteria platform and technology produced by YesIndeed Sp. z o.o., a company acquired this year.

The lease modifications in the nine months ended September 30th 2021 were chiefly attributable to renegotiation of the terms and conditions of the rental contracts for retail and office space as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and change of other contractual terms.

2.7.2. Lease liabilities

The lease modifications in the nine months ended September 30th 2021 were attributable, among other things, to renegotiation of the terms and conditions of the rental contracts for retail and office space in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and a change to other contractual terms.

Maturities of the lease liabilities as at September 30th 2021 and December 31st 2020 are presented below:

The Group is a party to lease contracts for fitness clubs whose terms have not yet commenced; the contracts were not recognised in the measurement of lease liabilities. The potential future cash outflows under these contracts were estimated at PLN 98,895 thousand as at September 30th 2021 (December 31st 2020: PLN 94,614 thousand).

2.7.3. Lease amounts disclosed in the reporting period

Costs of short-term lease contracts and leases of low-value assets that are not recognised in the measurement of the lease liabilities and are expensed in the interim consolidated statement of profit or loss stood at PLN 434 thousand and PLN 1.350 thousand in the nine months ended September 30th 2021 and September 30th 2020, respectively. The costs included mainly rental

of advertising space (PLN 107 thousand and 477 thousand, respectively) and leases of assorted equipment for fitness clubs and offices (PLN 327 thousand and 837 thousand, respectively). In the nine months ended September 30th 2021 and September 30th 2020, there were no variable lease payments.

In 2021, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group renegotiated terms of the lease contracts, which impacted the amount of lease liabilities. The Group applied the practical expedient introduced by an amendment to IFRS 16 in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, whereby rent concessions resulting from the renegotiation of lease contracts are not treated as lease modification, and the effects of remeasurement of lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and only if all of the following conditions are met:

• the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

• any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022 (for example, a rent concession would meet this condition if it results in reduced lease payments on or before 30 June 2022 and increased lease payments that extend beyond 30 June 2022); and

• there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. As a result, the lease liability is remeasured at an unchanged interest rate and the effect of the remeasurement is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the core operating activities as a reduction of the respective operating expenses depending on where the costs of the respective lease contract are allocated.

Each lease contract was assessed to determine whether the criteria for applying the practical expedient are met. The practical expedient was applied with respect to rent concessions under property rental contracts (sports clubs, offices) and advertising space rental contracts. The amount of the lease liability remeasurement resulting from the negotiated concessions, recognised in operating profit or loss as a decrease in cost of sales in the nine months ended September 30th 2021, is PLN 16,765 thousand.

2.7.4. Subleases

The Group is a lessor and an intermediate lessor of fitness equipment leased out to facilities which are the Group's partners, as well as office space. The respective contracts were recognised as operating leases. In the nine months ended September 30th 2021, the Group recognised income from operating sublease of fitness equipment of PLN 5,221 thousand and income from sublease of office space of PLN 276 thousand. In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, the amounts were PLN 5,108 thousand and PLN 82 thousand, respectively. These amounts include minimum fixed sublease payments only. In the reporting period, there were no contingent or other payments.

2.8. 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 vouchers tends to be lower than in the first, second and fourth quarters of the year, which affects revenue and profitability of the sport card business and the operation of fitness clubs. On the other hand, seasonality in the Cafeterias segment is reflected in an increase in turnover in the last month of the year due, among other things, to the Christmas period.

In the third quarter of 2021, the seasonality patterns observed to date may have changed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

2.9. Significant events and transactions in the period

COVID-19 pandemic

In the nine months ended September 30th 2021, the Group's business was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular by the temporary government restrictions imposed in the Group's home markets on the operation of sports facilities. The Group's customers and cardholders used the option to suspend sport cards, and the Group did not charge membership fees. Since January 18th 2021, the parent has earned revenue from sales of services relating to active sport cards.

The management of the Group and its subsidiaries took a number of measures to secure and support revenue streams and reduce operating costs. Managing the Group's liquidity is of the highest priority, and the steps taken by the Group include securing access to various sources of financing, monitoring of debt repayments on an ongoing basis, reducing capital expenditure, using public aid instruments, and, where justified, extending payment deadlines and maintaining safe levels of the net debt and liquidity ratios. As at the end of September 2021, the number of active sport cards was 709.3 thousand (up +29.4% on the end of June 2021) in the Poland segment, while in the foreign markets the number of sport cards which were active in September 2021 was 275.9 thousand (up +10.4% on the end of June 2021).

The sports facilities in all markets where the Group operates have been gradually resuming operations since February 2021. Poland was the last market where sports facilities resumed operations (on May 28th 2021).

As at September 30th 2021, the Group held PLN 303m of available funds in bank accounts and had access to PLN 125.5m of available and undrawn overdraft facilities.

In the opinion of the Group, the COVID-19 pandemic has not significantly affected the long-term prospects of the market's potential and the factors supporting the sale of sport cards.

The Group is expanding its offering of online products, such as sports, recreational and health exercises online, the workout platform and Yes2Move online shop, the new MultiLife card and additional services (advice, diets, urban bicycles, special holiday offers), and is continuing to develop the partnership network, which is of strategic importance to the Group. In addition, optimisation measures were taken with a focus on: (i) new customer retention processes and sales of services, implementation of subscription contracts better suited to consumer preferences, (ii) implementation of a new management structure and centralisation of functions across all networks (procurement, administration, back office), and (iii) implementation of restructuring plans at sports clubs with the least potential.

Execution of an annex to an agreement with BNP Paribas

On February 19th 2021, the parent signed an annex to the multi-purpose credit facility agreement with BNP Paribas Bank Polska S.A., extending the facility availability period until February 19th 2023. The available facility limit was set at PLN 30m.

per share) to the parent's account. Rights attached to the Series E shares in the parent will vest upon registration of the shares in the securities accounts of the eligible persons.

2.10. Overview of the Company's material achievements or failures in the period

Over the three quarters of 2021, the Group continued its efforts to restore the sport card base in Poland and abroad. Changes taking place in the markets, including various lockdown measures and related restrictions on the fitness industry, accelerated the Group's efforts to diversify its offering in Poland and across the foreign markets. Priority was also given to further technological development, digitalisation of non-pay benefits, and response to the growing health issues faced by Poles.

New products fostering mental and physical health

Based on data concerning the mental condition of Poles during the pandemic (according to the Social Security Institution's data, in 2020 doctors issued more than half a million sick leaves due to severe stress response and adaptation disorders), the Group set to work on a new well-being product. MultiLife combines 12 different services designed to foster mental well-being and worklife balance, including a psychologist's support, a mindfulness course, consultations with dieticians and coaches, a diet creator, a yoga course, access to the Yes2Move.com online exercise platform and to e-books on Legimi.

In the first half of 2021, the first Zdrofit Healthy Place (Zdrofit Zdrowe Miejsce) medical facilities commenced their activities, helping clients return to good health and physical fitness under the care of physiotherapists. These facilities address various back pain conditions increasingly affecting Poles, the need to safely return to physical activity after a break or after having suffered an injury, as well as the challenges of regaining fitness and resilience after falling ill with COVID-19. In addition, until December 15th 2021 the Zdrofit Healthy Place facilities will be running a post-COVID-19 physiotherapy programme for convalescents from the Warsaw Province, financed by the local Marshal Office.

Reopening of the fitness industry and educational activities focused on health and physical activity

According to the MultiSport Index Pandemia study, as many as 43% of physically active Poles reduced the frequency of exercise during the lockdown period due mainly to the closure of fitness facilities. From among these people, as many as 74%, 65% and 61% felt the adverse consequences of reduced physical activity on, respectively, their general well-being, health and figure. After nearly 11 months of full lockdown or restricted operations, sports and recreational facilities in Poland were reopened on May 28th 2021. With the reopening of the industry, the MultiSport brand's On Your Marks (Gotuj się do sportu) campaign was launched to promote safe return to physical exercise, with the celebrity chef Robert Makłowicz as its ambassador. The campaign supported another edition of the MultiSport Summer Game, a nine-week gamificationbased event encouraging participants to discover new sports disciplines at fitness facilities and engage in online exercise.

Supporting diversity within the organisation

In June 2021, the parent, as one of Poland's first public companies, joined the 30% Club Poland initiative to increase the percentage of women in the governing bodies of listed enterprises. One of the key objectives of 30% Club Poland is to achieve at least a 30% share of women on the management and supervisory boards (calculated jointly) of the 140 largest Polish listed companies by 2030. Indirect objectives include achieving a 20% presence of women on the

governing bodies of the companies included in the WIG20, mWIG40 and sWIG80 indices by 2025 and no companies with no women on their governing bodies.

Investment in cutting-edge technology solutions

In June 2021, the Group acquired 100% of shares in YesIndeed Sp. z o.o., which develops comprehensive gamification and incentive systems and offers the WannaBuy cafeteria platform. The companies collaborated in the organisation of two editions of the MultiSport Summer Game. The purpose behind the acquisition of YesIndeed Sp. z o.o. is to expand the Benefit Systems Group's offering with digital solutions and relevant know-how fitting in with the Group's long-term product development strategy.

Benefit Systems ranked among best employers

In 2021, Benefit Systems S.A. received a distinction in the Forbes and Statisty Poland's Best Employers 2021 ranking, joining the select group of Poland's top employers. The ranking was based on opinions polled from 160 thousand professionally active people, surveyed between September and October 2020. In addition, the Company won a distinction from Aviva Investors for model implementation of the Employee Capital Plans project and for achieving a high employee participation rate.

Get Ready! (Przygotuj się!) campaign

September 2021 saw the launch of the Get Ready! (Przygotuj się!) campaign, which encourages Poles to exercise regularly to support their body and mind in addressing everyday challenges. The purpose of the campaign is to educate Poles on the positive impact of exercise and sports on the quality of their lives, health and well-being. Get Ready! is a joint initiative of the Zdrofit, Fabryka Formy, Fitness Academy, S4, Fit Fabric, My Fitness Place and Step One network of the Benefit Systems Group's fitness clubs. The promotional efforts cover new services that focus on improving mental well-being through physical activity. A new addition to the Group's fitness offering is the Stress Reliever (Antystres) programme dedicated to people with intensive lifestyles and long-term stress exposure.

2.11. Outlook

The outlook in 2021 is significantly impacted by the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, due mainly to the uncertainty surrounding new restrictions that may be imposed.

The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the global economy and the economies of the countries where Group companies operate, which also contributes to falling demand for sport cards among customers. At the same time, it is important to note that demand for sporting activities among holders of sport cards, as measured by club attendance, is on a par with pre-pandemic levels.

The Group is expanding its offering to include services outside the non-pay benefits and fitness club management markets, where it has already established a stable position. In response to the challenges of the prevailing uncertainty, new online services are being developed for retail customers, including the Yes2Move exercise platform, an online store with sports food and accessories, and the MultiLife product comprising a range of various online services (such as personalised nutrition plans, consultations with dieticians and personal coaches, a language learning platform, multiple expert materials supporting healthy habits and a mindfulness course). The operations of the Poland segment were also expanded to include rehabilitation services.

The Group invariably estimates the long-term potential of the sport card market in Poland at between 1.8 million and 2.2 million units, and sees high growth potential for the MultiSport Programme in foreign markets (currently at a relatively early stage of development). Moreover, the COVID-19 epidemic may, in the long term, increase public awareness of matters related to

health protection and immunity improvement. This in turn may generate demand for physical activity services, which are the Group's main business area.

2.12. Share capital

As at September 30th 2021, the parent's share capital amounted to PLN 2,894 thousand (December 31st 2020: PLN 2,894 thousand) and was divided into 2,894,287 shares with a par value of PLN 1 per share. All the shares were paid up in full. All shares participate equally in the distribution of dividends and each share confers the right to one vote at the General Meeting.

Share capital as at the reporting date is presented below.

2.14. Share-based payment schemes

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 Incentive Scheme, eligible employees receive subscription warrants convertible into shares in the parent. The Incentive Scheme is open to selected employees, both from among senior management and middle management.

On February 3rd 2021, the Supervisory Board resolved to establish an Incentive Scheme for 2021–2025 at the Company. 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 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.

In the nine months ended September 30th 2021, the parent did not recognise any costs of the Incentive Scheme for 2021. In the corresponding period in 2020, the total cost of the Incentive Scheme charged against Benefit Systems S.A.'s profit or loss was PLN 924 thousand and was related to remeasurement of the second tranche of warrants granted for 2019, with January 9th 2020 as the grant date (the difference between the cost charged in 2019 and the final cost accounted for in 2020).

2.15. Dividend

On December 9th 2019, the Management Board of the parent adopted a dividend policy for 2020- 2023, under which the Management Board will recommend to the General Meeting payment of dividend of at least 50% of the Group's consolidated net profit for the previous financial year. 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 now effective. It has applied starting from the distribution of profit for the financial year ended December 31st 2019. The policy was positively assessed by the Supervisory Board of the parent on December 9th 2019.

On June 29th 2021, the parent's Annual General Meeting passed a resolution to cover the net loss of PLN 81.7m for the financial year 2020 from future profits.

2.16. 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, and 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.

Pending proceedings before administrative authorities

Antitrust proceedings against Benefit Systems S.A.

The antitrust proceedings against Benefit Systems S.A. (and other entities) were initiated by the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (the "President of UOKiK") on June 22nd 2018 in connection with the suspicion of certain activities potentially restricting competition on the domestic market of sports and recreational services packages or on the domestic market of fitness clubs or local fitness clubs (the "Proceedings").

On January 4th 2021, the Company received a decision of the President of UOKiK (the "Decision") concerning one of the three alleged breaches in respect of 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 Article 6(1)(3) of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection and Article 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 well-known 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 10.8m in 2020. In the absence of any new circumstances affecting the case, the provision remained unchanged as at September 30th 2021.

The Company does not agree with the Decision and has therefore filed an appeal against the Decision within the period prescribed by law.

Pursuant to the decision of the President of UOKiK, as announced by the Company in Current Report No. 38/2021 of October 27th 2021, with respect to the two remaining allegations (allegation of entering into exclusivity arrangements with fitness clubs and allegation of concerted practices to restrict competition in the market for sports and recreation package services), the proceedings should be concluded on December 31st 2021 (the date has been postponed several times).
