RENE MOOS, CEO BASIC-FIT:
"2022 was a very good year given the 51% growth of our membership base and our return to profitability. After two years of lockdowns and government measures, we were able to get the average number of memberships in our mature clubs back to pre-COVID-19 levels while also increasing the average revenue per member per month by 11% compared with the pre-pandemic level in 2019. The recovery at our mature clubs and the strong performance at our newer clubs shows the strength of our business model and product offering, which caters to a growing need in society to be fit and live an active, social and healthy lifestyle.
We are making good progress in the execution of our 'Go for a fitter world programme' which we launched in 2021. In the coming year we will make further steps in reaching our goals for all three pillars: Healthy people, Healthy planet and Healthy communities.
In 2022, we expanded our network by a record 185 clubs to 1,200. In the year-to-date, we opened an additional 64 clubs and are well on track to open at least 200 clubs in 2023, which is in line with our longer-term target to open between 200 and 300 clubs a year. We will remain flexible in the execution of our rollout plans and will continue to monitor macro-economic and membership developments, so we can adjust the pace of club openings when necessary. However, the
membership development in the first couple of months of 2023 has given us the confidence to continue with the execution of our accelerated growth strategy. In the year to date, our membership base increased by 225 thousand to 3.575 million memberships.
To cope with rising costs in 2022 and 2023, we made several changes in the value proposition and memberships structure for joiners in order to increase the average yield per member. An important element in this is our push to increase the overall percentage of Premium memberships. In 2022, the Premium penetration rate rose to 34% at the end of December from 23% at the start of the year. Following the recent introduction of the €24.99 comfort membership for new members – replacing the Basic membership – in France and the Benelux countries, we see a continuation of the strong joiner trend and a consistent Premium take-up rate of over 50%. We therefore expect a continuous gradual increase of the average revenue per member in 2023."

In 2022, we expanded our network by 185 clubs – 191 openings and six closures – to 1,200 clubs. This is a year-on-year increase of 18%. Our growth markets France (119 clubs; +23% year-on-year) and Spain (34 clubs; +61% year-on-year) accounted for over 80% of the growth in our network. In the Netherlands, the number of clubs went up by 15 to 231 clubs. In Belgium, we expanded our network by 14 clubs to 219. In October and November, we opened our first three clubs in our new country Germany.

Membership development
In 2022, we increased our membership base by more than 1.1 million to 3.35 million (+51% year-onyear). This growth was broad-based, with all countries showing strong performances in both mature and immature clubs.
Following the end of the lockdown in the Netherlands on 15 January 2022, and the lifting of the health pass and other remaining COVID-19 restrictions in all our markets in the first months of the year, we achieved a record membership growth. This higher joiner and membership growth trend compared to years before the pandemic lasted until September, after which growth trends returned to a more long-term trend.
A club is considered mature when it is at least 24 months old at the start of the calendar year. Because of the impact of the pandemic on our performance in 2020 and 2021, we report mature club performance over the year 2022 based on the 502 clubs that were mature before the start of the pandemic in 2020. Our 502 mature clubs ended the year with an average of 3,326 memberships, compared with 2,646 memberships at the start of the year. This means that our mature clubs have now fully recovered from the impact of the pandemic.
REVENUE
Revenue split
| In € millions | 2022 | 2021 | change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Club revenue | 788.7 | 338.2 | 133% |
| of which fitness revenue | 764.4 | 330.6 | 131% |
| of which other club revenue | 24.3 | 7.6 | 220% |
| Non-club revenue | 5.9 | 2.5 | 134% |
| Total revenue | 794.6 | 340.7 | 133% |
Totals are based on non-rounded figures
In 2022, group revenue more than doubled to €795 million (2021: €341 million). Fitness revenue includes income from our different memberships, as well as from add-ons like sportswater and personal online coach. The increase in fitness revenue to €764 million (2021: €331 million) was the result of all our clubs being open for the entire period (except for the first two weeks in January for our Dutch clubs), in combination with strong membership growth and the strong growth of our club network. In 2021, our clubs were closed, on average, for 36% of the time, which resulted in a considerable loss of revenue.
Within our membership base, we aim to increase the percentage of higher-priced Premium memberships (€29.99/4 weeks) as this has a positive impact on our average revenue per membership per month. As of the second quarter of 2022, we intensified our efforts to promote our Premium membership and increased the (perceived) value gap between the Basic membership and Premium membership. These changes drove the uptake of the Premium membership to over 50%. At the end of 2022, Premium memberships accounted for 34% of our total memberships, compared with 23% at the start of the year. At the end of December 2022, we changed the membership structure in France and did the same in the Benelux countries in February 2023. In the new structure, the Basic membership has been replaced by the Comfort membership (€24.99/4 weeks). The Comfort membership provides members with access to all clubs in a country while the Basic membership offers access to a single club. The new membership structure is available for new members only. We continue to see an uptake of over 50% for the Premium membership, which, if this continues, should result in a further increase to between 40% and 45% by year-end 2023. Supported by the gradual increase of the Premium membership penetration rate, the average revenue per member per month increased to €22.86 in 2022, compared with €13.05 in 2021 and €20.56 before the start of the pandemic (2019).
Other club revenue increased to €24.3 million (2021: €7.6 million) and includes income from our personal trainer concepts, physiotherapists, day passes, vending and advertising revenue via the screens in our clubs. The increase is mainly the result of clubs being closed for 36% of the time in 2021.
Non-club revenue, which includes sales from our webshop and NXT Level nutritional products to retailers, more than doubled to €5.9 million (2021: €2.5 million).
Geographic revenue split
| In € millions | 2022 | 2021 | change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Benelux | 364.5 | 169.0 | 116% |
| France, Spain & Germany | 430.1 | 171.7 | 150% |
| Total revenue | 794.6 | 340.7 | 133% |
Totals are based on non-rounded figures
All our geographic segments, the Benelux and France, Spain and Germany, recorded strong revenue growth compared with 2021, thanks to clubs being open for the entire period (except for the first two weeks of January 2022 for our Dutch clubs) and the strong recovery of memberships at mature clubs and strong ingrowth of memberships at new and immature clubs.
UNDERLYING CLUB EBITDA
Underlying Club EBITDA, which is club EBITDA adjusted for exceptional items and minus invoiced rent costs of opened clubs, came in at €316 million in 2022 (2021: €94 million). The year-on-year increase was driven by a strong recovery in memberships at our mature and immature clubs, coupled with a higher average revenue per member per month.
Club operating costs (rent opened clubs, personnel and other) amounted to €480 million (2021: €302 million). The increase in club operating costs is largely the result of our growing club network and the absence of discounts on rents from our landlords and government support for wages and fixed costs that we received as compensation of the impact of COVID-19-related government measures in 2021. The impact of the general inflationary environment was limited on a full year basis, although costs did creep up towards the latter part of the year, mainly as a result of rent and wage indexation.
The underlying club EBITDA has been adjusted for exceptional items that amounted to €7.5 million (2021: 57.8 million), with €6.0 million (2021: €56.4 million) of this related to COVID-19.
UNDERLYING EBITDA
Underlying EBITDA, which is EBITDA adjusted for exceptional items and minus invoiced rent costs, showed a strong recovery to €204 million, compared with €31.6 million in 2021. Profitability was weighted towards the second half of 2022, thanks to a strong recovery in memberships in our mature and immature clubs in the first half of the year, which resulted in a more profitable starting point from July 2022 onwards.
Total overhead expenses increased to €112 million (2021: €61 million), due to an increase in international overhead to €43.3 million (2021: €29.9 million) and an increase in country overhead to €68.8 million (2021: €30.7 million).
International overhead expenses increased on the back of our growing club network and organisation, including the setup of a new head office in Germany, new initiatives and higher wage
costs due to inflation. We invested in our IT capabilities, insourced our member administration and Basic-Fit member app. In addition, we increased our investments in our competencies in legal, marketing and sustainability. In the second half of the year, we launched our new self-developed webshop and corporate website and we set-up an energy savings taskforce.
The main driver for the increase in country overhead costs were higher marketing expenses, which increased by approximately €30 million compared with 2021. In the first half of the year, we decided to increase our marketing spend as a percentage of revenue to approximately 6%, as we saw the opportunity to benefit from our strength in our local markets to quickly recover memberships lost during 2020 and 2021 and to gain further market share. We also targeted to end 2022 with as many memberships as possible to give us a strong starting point in 2023. In terms of membership acquisition costs, the amount spent per joiner was similar to 2019, the last year before the pandemic. For 2023, we expect to spend a similar percentage of revenue (approx. 6%) on marketing.
The underlying EBITDA has been adjusted for exceptional items that amounted to €10.5 million (2021: 59.7 million), with €6.0 million (2021: €56.4 million) of this related to COVID-19. Non-COVIDrelated exceptional items include start-up costs for our new German operation.
DEPRECIATION & AMORTISATION
Depreciation and impairment of tangibles amounted to €151 million, compared with €125 million in 2021. Depreciation of right-of-use assets increased to €172 million from €148 million in 2021. The increase of both line items was driven by the strong growth of our club network in 2021 and 2022. Amortisation costs amounted to €8.7 million, compared with €10.8 million in 2021.
COVID-19 RENT CREDITS
COVID-19 rent credits in the period amounted to €2.4 million (2021: €23.1 million) and relate to property rent discounts received from our landlords that did not result in the amendment of lease contracts. In the event of lease contract amendments, we remeasured right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet. The reported €2.4 million in the period reflects the finalisation of rent negotiations for a number of clubs that were temporarily closed in 2021.
OPERATING PROFIT
Operating profit came in at €55.5 million, compared with a loss of €145 million in 2021, when clubs were closed for 36% of the time. The recovery was primarily driven by a strong recovery of memberships in our entire club network in combination with tight cost controls.
FINANCING COSTS
Finance costs amounted to €26.1 million in 2022, compared with €23.8 million in 2021. The yearon-year increase reflects a higher average level of bank and convertible bond debt than in the previous year. Finance costs related to bank borrowings in 2022 were slightly lower than in 2021. The charge related to the €304-million, 1.5%-coupon 2028 convertible bond loan (issue date: June
2021) amounted to €13.2 million (2021: €6.9 million). Interest rate swap charges and valuation differences resulted in a €3.7 million benefit (2021: €1.8 million benefit).
The interest on lease liabilities was €32.6 million, compared with €32.9 million in 2021. The small decline, in spite of a growing club network, was the result of the ageing of our existing club network in combination with rent contract remeasurements that led to the use of lower interest rates than those used at the time we adopted IFRS 16.
CORPORATE TAX
Corporate income tax expense for the year was €0.5 million (2021: €51.3 million income), representing an effective tax rate of minus 17.4% (2021: 25.5%). The main element (€1.7 million) of the charge in 2022 was the French CVAE tax ('Cotisation sur la Valeur Ajoutée des Entreprises'). CVAE is a corporate value-added contribution that meets the definition of an income tax as established under IAS 12.
NET RESULT AND UNDERLYING NET RESULT
For the full year 2022, net income amounted to a €3.7 million loss, compared with a loss of €150 million in 2021. The underlying net profit, which is the reported net income adjusted for IFRS 16, PPA-related amortisation, interest rate swaps valuation differences, exceptional items, COVID-19 related exceptional costs, COVID-19 rent credits and the related tax effects, was €11.3 million (2021: €95.2 million loss).

NET DEBT AND LIQUIDITY
Net debt (excluding lease liabilities) stood at €694 million at year-end 2022, compared with €548 million at year-end 2021. The year-on-year increase reflects our accelerated club openings programme.
Net debt including lease liabilities stood at €2,175 million, compared with €1,853 million at the year-end 2021.
The net debt/adjusted EBITDA1 leverage ratio stood at 2.9 at year-end 2022 (year-end 2021: 2.1), which is well below the 3.5 covenant threshold agreed with our lenders.
Including undrawn facilities, the company had access to cash and cash equivalents of €143 million at year-end 2022. Cash and cash equivalents on balance sheet stood at €44 million at year-end 2022.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
The initial average capex for the newly built clubs that we opened in 2022 was €1.17 million per club (2021: €1.15 million). Regardless of the initial capex for a club, we continue to only sign a lease contract for a new club if we expect to achieve a return on invested capital (ROIC) of at least 30% at maturity.
Maintenance capex amounted to €61.2 million in 2022 (2021: €47.7 million). The average maintenance cost per club was €55 thousand, compared with €50 thousand in 2021. We continuously invest in our clubs to make sure they always look fresh and welcoming. The average spent per club in 2022 was in line with our multi-year planning. The lower amount in the previous year was the result of clubs being closed for 36% of the time and our decision to use the period that clubs were temporarily closed to roll out the installation of our smart camera system in more clubs and to further optimise the club layout. In the medium term, we still expect an average spend of around €55 thousand per club per year.
Other capex amounted to €11.2 million (2021: €7.5 million). Other capex consists of investments in innovations and software development. In 2022, we made additional improvements to the mobile phone app we developed in-house. The embedded QR code in the app has become the standard tool for joiners to enter our clubs.
OUTLOOK
On the back of the positive membership development year to date, we remain optimistic on the outlook for 2023 and will continue to execute our accelerated club opening plans. We opened 64 clubs in the first ten weeks of the year and are on track to open at least 200 clubs. This is in line with our longer-term target to open between 200 and 300 clubs a year. We will continue to monitor macro-economic and membership developments, so we can adjust the pace of club openings when necessary. We plan to open most clubs in France and Spain in 2023, whilst we continue to build momentum in Germany with already contracts signed for 65 new clubs.
We achieved a strong growth of memberships and a full recovery of the membership count at the 502 mature clubs to pre-COVID-19 levels last year. We also saw a strong membership development at the clubs we opened in 2018, 2019 and 2020. We decided to return to the original mature club

definition and as of H1 2023 will report on the 891 clubs that were at least 24 months old at the start of 2023.
The continuous and gradual increase in average revenue per member, following the adjusted membership structure and high uptake of the Premium membership, together with the energy savings initiatives, will mitigate the impact of cost inflation. With the recovery of the memberships and underlying EBITDA at mature clubs, and barring any unforeseen developments, we expect a ROIC of mature clubs of well over 30% in 2023.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The financial information in this report includes non-IFRS financial measures and ratios (e.g. underlying club EBITDA, underlying EBITDA, exceptional items, underlying net result and net debt) that are not recognised as measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS. In addition, Basic-Fit discloses certain other operational data, such as the number of clubs, number of members and number of countries in which Basic-Fit is present. The non-IFRS financial measures presented are measures used by management to monitor the underlying performance of the business and operations and, have therefore not been audited or reviewed. Furthermore, they may not be indicative of the historical operating results, nor are they meant to be predictive of future results. These non-IFRS measures are presented because they are considered important supplementary measurements of Basic-Fit's performance, and we believe that these and similar measures are widely used in the industry in which Basic-Fit operates as a way to evaluate a company's operating performance and liquidity. Not all companies calculate non-IFRS financial measures in the same manner or on a consistent basis. As a result, these measures and ratios may not be comparable to measures used by other companies under the same or similar names.
