This consolidated quarterly report of the Benefit Systems Group was authorised for issue by the Management Board of the Parent on May 17th 2023.
This consolidated quarterly report of the Benefit Systems Group covers the three months ended March 31st 2023 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 2022.
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 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, financial statements of foreign companies are translated into the Polish currency in accordance with the accounting policies presented in the most recent consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st 2022.
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.
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 2022, and in accordance with the policies applied in the same interim period of the previous year.
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.
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 2022.
No corrections of errors or changes in accounting policies were made by the Group in the reporting period.
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:
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 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.
Revenue disclosed in the consolidated statement of profit or loss does not differ from revenue presented by the operating segments, except for consolidation eliminations on intersegment transactions.
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.

The Poland segment's scope of operations includes non-pay benefits, such as sport cards and cafeteria platforms, management of fitness clubs, and investment in new clubs on the Polish market. The Group also creates online products in areas related to employee wellbeing.
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. At the end of the reporting period, the number of active cards in Poland was 1,309.1 thousand. Card holders benefit from a wide range of services available to them at the Group's own clubs and partner locations, which currently total more than 4.8 thousand facilities.
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 benefits spanning sport and health, 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 three thousand entities and is constantly adapted to market and customer needs.
The MyBenefit cafeteria platform 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 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 MyBenefit platform is 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 50 theatres, 180 cinemas, 60 museums and 25 thematic parks across Poland.
The Group also offers MultiTeatr, MultiMuzeum, MultiZoo, BenefitLunch and eTravelPass, providing access to numerous theatres, museums, zoos, restaurants, and accommodation options.
Benefit Systems Group is actively developing a range of online products, including the MultiLife programme that includes services focused on employee wellbeing, especially 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.com online exercise platform, preventive medical examination package, e-books on Legimi, and Leanovatica, a streaming learning service.
Furthermore, the Group operates the Yes2Move online store selling dietary supplements and foodstuffs, fitness accessories and other items to support training and healthy lifestyles.
In the area of healthy eating and co-financing of employee meals, the Group is working on the Lunching.pl platform and application for ordering food to the workplace. It can be used by employers to facilitate the process of organising meals for their teams based on any financing model they may choose.
The Group offers B2B employee engagement services based on gamification. The gamification services offered by YesIndeed Sp. z o.o. are divided into two categories: incentive schemes for sales and marketing departments offered under the YesIndeed brand, and own prize cafeterias used in the offered programmes. 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.
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 2023, the Group had 185 own clubs in Poland operated by the Fitness Branch within Benefit Systems S.A., Total Fitness Sp. z o.o., Sport Operator Sp. z o.o., FIT 1 Sp. z o.o., and FIT 2 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, Total Fitness and AquaPark Wesolandia. The Group also holds equity interests in companies managing a further 23 facilities. In addition, the Parent operates the Atmosfera Multisport club, which organises activities for children and young people. On April 13th 2023, the Group acquired a 100% stake in Saturn Fitness Group Sp. z o.o., which manages 6 fitness clubs (see Note 2.25).

(7 clubs). As at the demerger date, the sole shareholders in the respective companies were CF shareholders: Benefit Systems S.A., Cal Capital Sp. z o.o. ("CC") and Camaro Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych ("Camaro"). Subsequently, on the same day, the Parent acquired all shares in FIT 2 Sp. z o.o. and Sport Operator Sp. z o.o. from CC and Camaro.

On March 31st 2023, 3 organised parts of enterprise were spun off to FIT 1 Sp. z o.o., which is wholly owned by Benefit Systems S.A.
As a result of the acquisition of the organised parts of enterprise by FIT 1 Sp. z o.o, 3 clubs in Szczecin, Gdańsk and Gdynia were added to the Group's own club portfolio.
On March 31st 2023, the Parent acquired 100% of shares in FIT 2 Sp. z o.o. from Cal Capital Sp. z o.o. The total purchase price for the shares was PLN 7.2m. The consideration was settled by transferring Benefit Systems S.A.'s claims against CF Group companies of PLN 7.2m to CC.
As part of the provisional accounting for the acquisition, as at the acquisition date the Group allocated the excess of the purchase price paid over net assets acquired to goodwill.

On March 31st 2023, the Parent acquired 100% of shares in Sport Operator Sp. z o.o. from Camaro. The total purchase price for the shares was PLN 21.8m. The consideration was settled by transferring Benefit Systems S.A.'s claims against CF Group companies of PLN 10.8m to Camaro and making a cash payment of PLN 11m.
As part of the provisional accounting for the acquisition, as at the acquisition date the Group allocated the excess of the purchase price paid over net assets acquired to goodwill.
As a result of the acquisition of Sport Operator Sp. z o.o., 7 clubs were added to the Group's own club portfolio: in Gdańsk (3 clubs), Warsaw, Szczecin (2 clubs) and Wrocław.
As at March 31st 2023, the transactions described above were accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations as at the acquisition date. The goodwill was allocated to cash generating units in the Poland segment.
As at the date of this consolidated quarterly report, the purchase price allocation process for the above transactions had not been completed by the Group. The Group is currently reviewing, identifying and measuring the assets and liabilities acquired and therefore the goodwill recognised on the acquisition of Sport Operator Sp. z o.o., FIT 2 Sp. z o.o. and contribution of organised parts of enterprise to FIT 1 Sp. z o.o. may change within 12 months from the acquisition date.

* The settlement of claims involved settlement of PLN 15.9m worth of trade receivables and PLN 2.1m worth of loans. The provision for an impairment loss on loans of PLN 2.1m was reversed. In addition, trade receivables from the 12 clubs acquired totalling PLN 11.6m were settled as part of the elimination of intra-group transactions.
As at March 31st 2023, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was PLN 286.9m. The PLN 7.5m decrease in property, plant and equipment relative to the end of 2022 was mainly attributable to a depreciation charge of PLN 17.4m and settlement of the PLN 14.1m investment in new clubs. Capital expenditure of PLN 21.0m in 2023 was mainly related to investments in new and existing fitness clubs. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment increased by PLN 2.9m as a result of acquisition of organised parts of enterprise (see Note 2.6).
As at March 31st 2023, the carrying amount of intangible assets was PLN 130.0m, up by PLN 1.0m on December 31st 2022. The increase, offset by the recognition of a PLN 7.6m amortisation charge, results mainly from expenditure of PLN 8.7m on the development, integration and optimisation of business and sales systems and online platforms for customers.

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 463 thousand and PLN 281 thousand in the three months ended March 31st 2023 and March 31st 2022, respectively. The costs included mainly rental of advertising
space (PLN 298 thousand and 123 thousand, respectively) and leases of assorted equipment for fitness clubs and offices (PLN 165 thousand and 158 thousand, respectively). In the three months ended March 31st 2023 and March 31st 2022, there were no variable lease payments.
In 2022, 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 the amendment to IFRS 16, whereby rent concessions resulting from the renegotiation of lease contracts do not constitute lease modification, and the effects of remeasurement of lease liabilities are recognised in profit or loss for the period. The practical expedient could be applied with respect to rent payments originally due on or before June 30th 2022. 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 lease contracts (sports clubs, offices). In the first quarter of 2022, the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability resulting from the negotiated concessions was recognised in the statement of profit and loss as a PLN 2,384 thousand decrease in cost of sales. The abovementioned amendment to IFRS 16 cannot be applied in 2023.
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 three months ended March 31st 2023, the Group recognised income from operating sublease of fitness equipment of PLN 780 thousand and income from sublease of office space of PLN 246 thousand. In the three months ended March 31st 2022, the amounts were PLN 1,012 thousand and PLN 191 thousand, respectively. These amounts include minimum fixed sublease payments only. In the reporting period, there were no contingent or other payments.
As at March 31st 2023, cash stood at PLN 300.2m. The PLN 81.9m increase in cash relative to the end of 2022 was mainly attributable to cash provided by operating activities and a decrease in receivables compared with the previous period. Furthermore, in the first quarter of 2023 the Company repaid borrowings totalling PLN 8.0m.

CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE BENEFIT SYSTEMS GROUP FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31ST 2023 [TRANSLATION ONLY]
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 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.
On February 27th 2023, an increase in the share capital of Lunching.pl Sp. z o.o. was registered, following which the Parent's interest in the company rose from 77.68% as at December 31st 2022 to 79.89% as at March 31st 2023.

Benefit Systems S.A. is the first and so far the only listed company in Poland that was recertified, after it had joined the B Corp movement in 2018. B Corp is a certificate issued by B Lab, an international NGO originating from the United States. It is granted to companies whose business model is aligned with the principles of sustainable development and whose activities make a key contribution to solving today's social, labour and environmental problems.
In January 2023, 2 new large-format clubs were opened in the My Fitness Place network. The facilities, with their spa zones, salt walls, and saunas, offer solutions promoting physical health and post-workout recovery, and help people boost their immunity, relax, and regain mental balance. Each new club has about 2,000 square metres of floor space with a selection of workout zones, including gyms with high-end equipment, tartan treadmills – an excellent choice for running
routines or long jump practice – fitness rooms for group classes and fitness bars offering products supporting a healthy diet for physically active people.
In February 2023 (see Notes 2.12 and 2.6), Benefit Systems S.A. entered into an agreement with Calypso Fitness, whereby the Parent would acquire 16 Calypso clubs in the form of organised parts of enterprise (12 clubs in the first and 3 clubs in the second stage of the transaction) and by way of assignment of a lease contract (1 club in the first stage), in cities with a high potential for further business development. In the first stage, by March 31st 2023, the Company acquired 13 facilities, including 7 clubs in the Gdańsk-Sopot-Gdynia agglomeration and 4 in Szczecin, where the Company is seeing a continually growing interest in the MultiSport programme, and as well 1 club in Warsaw and Wrocław each. In the second stage, by June 30th 2023, Benefit Systems S.A. will acquire three Calypso clubs located in Warsaw, Kraków, and Częstochowa.
In April 2023 (see Note 2.25), the Company finalised the purchase agreement for 6 Saturn Fitness clubs. The newly acquired entities will strengthen the Group's offering in cities considered strategic for the MultiSport Programme, such as Kraków and Gdynia, as well as the Upper Silesia region.
As a result of the activities described above, the number of Benefit Systems' own fitness clubs in Poland rose to 185 as at March 31st 2023 and to 191 as at the date of this report.
The Design Your Fitness programme was launched in February 2023, targeting more than a million users of MultiSport membership cards in Poland. This new online educational space includes a complete plan to improve health and quality of life, featuring advice from personal trainers, dieticians, and wellbeing experts. Its design will facilitate putting the knowledge in practice by working out with the MultiSport membership card. Through Design Your Fitness, users will receive ready-to-use instructions for safe and effective training at sports facilities, thorough knowledge delivered in the form of 113 sessions run by healthy lifestyle professionals, inspiring advice, and the option to participate in 19 professional online courses.
In March 2023, the Good Day for MultiLife campaign was initiated to build awareness of the MultiLife brand among employers and employees. The new product is intended to support employers in ensuring mental and physical wellbeing and employee development. The MultiLife programme is aligned with existing trends and employee expectations: based on Deloitte's 'From Great Resignation to Great Reimagination' report, as many as 91% of workers are ready to look for a new job if the employer does not show concern for their well-being. The first stage of the Good Day for MultiLife campaign was completed in April and the next edition of the campaign will start in late May 2023.
The outlook for the coming periods is significantly affected by the economic situation in the countries where the Group operates, including higher prices of energy, raw materials and fuels, accelerating inflation, 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.
The Group invariably sees high long-term growth potential for the MultiSport programme, which is currently at a relatively early stage of development, in Poland and foreign markets. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic 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.
As at March 31st 2023, the Parent's share capital amounted to PLN 2,934 thousand (December 31st 2022: PLN 2,934 thousand) and was divided into 2,933,542 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.

Basic earnings per share are calculated as the quotient of the net profit attributable to owners of the Parent divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) outstanding during the period.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share takes into account the effect of options convertible into Parent shares that have been issued under the Group's incentive schemes. The calculation of earnings per share is presented below.

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. The Scheme is open to selected employees 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 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 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.
Following achievement of 100% of the threshold for the condition relating to adjusted consolidated operating profit of the Group, 25,000 subscription warrants were granted to senior management (including the Management Board of the Parent) on March 1st 2023. The fair value of the subscription warrants granted to the employees has been estimated as at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes model.

The total cost of the 2022 tranche granted under the Programme on March 1st 2023 was estimated at PLN 6,278 thousand. The cost recognised in the Group's results in the reporting period was PLN 1,255 thousand. In 2022, the Group did not recognise Programme costs because the conditions for the grant of the tranche for 2021 had not been satisfied.
Within 30 days of the Annual General Meeting approving the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2022 the final verification to ascertain whether the conditions have been satisfied to grant subscription warrants will be carried out by the Management Board for the eligible persons other than Management Board Members and by the Supervisory Board for the eligible Management Board Members.
By decision of the Supervisory Board, 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 400m, PLN 460m and PLN 515m, 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 825m, PLN 920m and PLN 1,010m), in a number representing, respectively, 50%, 75% and 100% of the maximum number of Series K2 warrants.
On December 15th 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 December 31st 2022. The policy was positively assessed by the Supervisory Board of the Parent on December 15th 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 2022.
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
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 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 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 March 31st 2023.
The Company does not agree with the Decision and has therefore filed an appeal against the Decision within the period prescribed by law.
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 December 7th 2021, of a decision by the President of UOKiK ("Decision 2") under Art. 12.1 of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection of February 16th 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.
The Company has not released any profit forecasts for 2023.
In the reporting period, the Benefit Systems 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.
Execution of annexes to a financing agreement with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and Santander Bank Polska S.A.
On April 4th 2023, an annex was signed to the long-term financing agreement of April 1st 2022 with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and Santander Bank Polska S.A. The annex extends the availability period for the unutilised part of the financing of PLN 115m until December 31st 2023.
On April 4th 2023, Benefit Systems S.A. acquired the residual 11.77% of shares in Total Fitness Sp. z o.o., and thus its equity interest in the company rose to 100%. Since the date of acquisition of 88.23% of Total Fitness Sp. z o.o. shares (i.e. November 4th 2021), 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 April 13th 2023, an agreement was signed whereby the Parent purchased 100% of shares in Saturn Fitness Group Sp. z o.o. ("Saturn Fitness").
The total purchase price is PLN 27.6m. and includes:
As at the date of acquisition of control, according to the Company's best estimates of the fulfilment of the conditions set forth in the share purchase agreement, the fair value of the total purchase price is PLN 26.1m (the nominal value before discounting is PLN 26.2m).
As a result of the acquisition of Saturn Fitness, 6 fitness clubs were added to the Group's own club portfolio: in Gdynia, Warsaw, Kraków, Łódź, Gorzów Wielkopolski and Chorzów. The goodwill was allocated to cash generating units in the Poland segment.
As at the date of this consolidated quarterly report, the purchase price allocation process had not been completed by the Group, in particular work was ongoing to transfer the company's accounting records and to review, identify and perform fair-value measurement 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 Saturn Fitness Group Sp. z o.o.
April 26th 2023 saw the registration of a share capital increase at Calypso Fitness S.A. ("CF"). The share capital increase had been effected by converting claims of CF's shareholders against CF pro rata to their holdings, including the Parent's claims against CF of PLN 14.5m, the full amount of which had been covered by a previously recognised impairment loss. At the same time, the Parent cancelled CF's debt of PLN 10.3m comprising loan interest, the full amount of which had been covered by a previously recognised impairment loss. Those events occurred in connection with the agreements of February 28th 2023, one purpose of which was to settle CF's liabilities towards Benefit Systems S.A., as described in more detail in Note 2.12 to this report and Note 33 to the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2022.
On April 27th 2023, Benefit Systems S.A. sold all shares in Baltic Fitness Center Sp. z o.o., with a carrying amount of nil, to Calypso Fitness S.A. for PLN 50 thousand.
In May 2023, the estimated number of active sport cards was 1,334.2 thousand in the Poland segment and 471.8 thousand in the Foreign Markets segment.
