The Group recognises a contract liability if invoicing occurs earlier than the actual date of performance of the service.
The Poland segment comprises sales of sport cards, as well as managing and investing in fitness clubs in Poland. Sport cards are distributed by: Benefit Systems S.A., FitSport Polska Sp. z o.o. and VanityStyle Sp. z o.o. The following cards are currently on offer: MultiSport Plus, MultiSport Classic, MultiSport Light, MultiSport Kids/MultiSport Kids Aqua, MultiSport Student, MultiSport Senior, as well as FitSport and FitProfit.
Sport cards are among the most popular non-pay benefits in Poland. They are also among the benefits preferred by employees, with as many as half of candidates expecting future employers to provide a sport card in the remuneration package. Sport cards are unique because they combine, in a single product, benefits to 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 766.3 thousand.
In addition, the Benefit Systems Group invests in fitness clubs to provide a comprehensive base of sports and recreation facilities. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group had 158 own clubs in Poland, operated by the Fitness Branch 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 interests in companies managing another 45 facilities.

As a result of restrictions imposed in response to the COVID-19 epidemic, mainly the closure of sports facilities from March 14th to June 6th 2020, the Poland segment's revenue fell 32.9% year on year in the first three quarters of 2020, despite strong growth recorded in January and February. The three months ended September 30th 2020 saw rebuilding of the customer base and development of new products. However, given the significant market uncertainty, resulting in a lower number of active sports membership cards compared with 2019, as well as early stage of

development of the new projects, sales were lower compared with the same period of the year before. In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, cost of sales decreased by PLN 163.1m year on year, while gross profit came in at PLN 115.7m.
In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, intensive efforts were also continued to deliver online services to holders of sports facility cards and subscriptions, including through the establishment of the Yes2Move platform and launch of an attractive offer for holders of active sport cards. In the second quarter of 2020, MultiSport cardholders were provided with access to personalised coaching and dietary consultation, an English language learning platform, and activities for children. Holders of active cards may also participate in online activities offered by selected partners (offered on a fee-basis to non-Multi-Sport customers). The three months to September 30th 2020 saw the launch of the Yes2Move online store, offering food supplements, dietetic food, fitness accessories, as well as many other workout supplements and healthy lifestyle products.
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. The Group also achieved savings in cost of services, wages and additional employee benefits (as part of the anti-crisis shield solutions). In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, as a result of the temporary closure of clubs during the state of epidemic, a decision was made to reorganise the portfolio of fitness clubs. By September 30th 2020, 152 fitness clubs resumed operations.
In the three months ended June 30th 2020, additional costs of PLN 3.2m were recognised on account of payments to clubs which met their commitment to reopen in accordance with the applicable sanitary guidelines by June 15th 2020.
In the nine months to September 30th 2020, six of the Group's own fitness clubs, three clubs of the Fitness Academy network, two of the My Fitness Place network and one of the Zdrofit network were closed. In consequence, other expenses of PLN 11.6m were recognised, reflecting an adverse effect of the event on the January–September 2020 results; the amount included an impairment loss on property, plant and equipment (PLN -9.5m) and the cost of early termination fees (PLN -5.7m), and was partly offset by the termination of lease contracts (PLN +3.6m). Other income included government grants received as part of the anti-crisis shield (PLN 4.2m) and impairment losses on receivables.
In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, the Poland segment recognised PLN 81.9m in depreciation of right-of-use assets and a PLN 9.9m interest expense on lease liabilities.
The segment comprises companies engaged in the development of the MultiSport programme and companies managing fitness clubs abroad as part of the strategy to support development of the MultiSport card, the Group's main product. In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, the companies engaged in the development of the MultiSport programme operated in five European countries: the Czech Republic (MultiSport S.R.O.), Bulgaria (Benefit Systems Bulgaria EOOD), Slovakia (Benefit Systems Slovakia S.R.O.), Croatia (Benefit Systems D.O.O.), and Greece (Benefit Systems Greece MIKE). The Group decided to discontinue its operations on the Greek market as from the end of the first half of 2020. The segment also includes Benefit Systems, storitve, D.O.O. (Slovenia), which remains dormant. The fitness clubs business was conducted in three markets: in the Czech Republic (Beck Box Club S. R. O., Form Factory S. R. O.), Slovakia (Fit Invest Slovakia S. R. O.) and Bulgaria (Next Level Fitness EOOD).
Benefit Systems International Sp. z o.o. is the parent of the other companies in the segment. All these companies are fully consolidated.

At the end of the reporting period, there were 290.1 thousand active MultiSport membership cards on foreign markets, close to the September 2019 level (289.6 thousand cards).
In the reporting period, the number of cards in the Czech Republic, which remains the largest market of the Foreign Markets segment, increased by almost 7 thousand year on year. Until the lifting of lockdown in Bulgaria (on May 18th 2020), the number of cards on that market had gone down by about 14 thousand compared with the same period of the previous year. The trend continued until the end of September 2020. The largest year-on-year increase in the number of cards was recorded in Slovakia, the country which was also the least affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the lifting of lockdown, 85% of the cards remained active relative to the beginning of March. The sharpest decline in the number of cards compared with the pre-lockdown period (March 2020) was recorded in Croatia. After the lifting of lockdown, the number of active cards was down by almost 60%, but still remained close to the previous year's levels. In the reporting period, the number of cards in Croatia rose by approximately 15% on the year before
In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, the Foreign Markets segment's revenue grew by more than 12% year on year. A revenue increase in the three months ended September 30th 2020 was driven, among other things, by changes in VAT rates on the MultiSport product in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. After the Czech tax authority had issued a private letter ruling according to which the MultiSport service met the criteria for being treated as a voucher (Council Directive (EU) 2016/1065 as regards the treatment of vouchers), the Czech company ceased to be a VAT payer in respect of the MultiSport Programme. As a result, the average selling price of cards increased by the amount of the previously input VAT (21%), delivering a PLN 21.2m increase in revenue and a PLN 9.8m rise in gross profit. Another item charged to the results for the nine months ended September 30th 2020 was an adjustment to VAT for 2019 (effect on revenue: PLN 32.1m, effect on gross profit: PLN 16.9m). Bulgaria's government decided to reduce the VAT rate for fitness services, from 20% to 9%, with effect as of July 2020, which increased the average selling price of cards on the Bulgarian market. The changes in VAT rates in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic were also reflected in selling expenses, which rose year on year. In the reporting period, revenue on the Czech market grew by 23%, while in Bulgaria revenue declined by only 8% year on year despite a 16% decrease in the number of active cards.
Despite unfavourable economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, revenue grew by approximately 27% year on year both in Slovakia and Croatia. The number of active cards on those markets rose by 21% and 16%, respectively.

The network of partner facilities abroad continued to be expanded and at the end of September 2020 comprised 4,290 facilities, including: 1,967 in the Czech Republic, 969 in Bulgaria, 888 in Slovakia, and 466 in Croatia. This allows the Group to offer its comprehensive MultiSport product not only to the largest companies located in the vicinity of the capital cities of those countries, but also to those that are based in, and whose staff come from, smaller towns and villages.
As part of the Foreign Markets segment, the Group's own clubs are operatad in all of the countries except Croatia. At the end of September 2020, there were 25 investment clubs, their number unchanged quarter on quarter. Revenue earned by investment clubs fell by approximately 7% on a decline in the number of active subscriptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lower number of visits generated by MultiSport membership cards.
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, courses, training, and food offering. The benefits come from proven providers – the partner network, which is being continually expanded, already comprising several thousand entities. In late 2019, there was a formal merger through acquisition effected by MyBenefit Sp. z o.o. (the acquirer) and MultiBenefit Sp. z o.o. (the acquiree).
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, with headcounts ranging from several to several dozen thousand employees. The Cafeteria benefits cover sports, health, travel and culture, and include shopping vouchers that can be used at Polish renowned chain retailers and brand stores. 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 50 theatres, 190 cinemas, 50 museums and 28 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.

As at the end of September 2020, the MyBenefit and MultiKafeteria e-platforms had registered a total of almost 490 thousand users, an increase of 45.3 thousand year on year. However, the strong increase in the number of users did not drive an increase in revenue from the Cafeteria platforms, as access to cinemas and sports facilities was limited, and as concerts, performances and other events were cancelled. In the reporting period, revenue generated through and outside of platforms fell by 9.8% year on year.
The main areas adversely affected by the pandemic included Sport Cards, Cinema, Travel, Culture and Recreation. The loss of revenue from those categories was partially offset by a large volume of point redemptions in the Stores category, which was the most popular sales channel in 2020 (revenue of PLN 128.5m vs PLN 94.7m in the corresponding period of 2019).
Higher cost of sales was attributable to increased expenditure on maintaining the cafeteria system. Completion of certain development projects led to a PLN 1.4m increase in depreciation/amortisation expense; the projects involved developing and upgrading the IT components of the cafeteria system to enhance the user experience. A 13.3% year-on-year drop in selling expenses was mainly attributable to lower salaries and wages, costs of employee training and business trips.
In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, key contributors to net other income included proceeds under government grants received as part of the anti-crisis shield of approximately PLN 1m and the write-off of intangible assets in June 2020 of PLN 2.9m.
Capital expenditure in the period increased by PLN 2m, from PLN 7.8m to PLN 9.8m.
In the period preceding its acquisition by MyBenefit Sp. z o.o., MultiBenefit Sp. z o.o. re-examined its role in the sale of cafeteria services in the context of the degree of risk incurred by the parties. The re-examination revealed that in a significant part of such transactions (including in sales of MultiBilet and BenefitLunch) the company acts as an agent and therefore, in accordance with IFRS 15, it should disclose only a commission (or margin) on sales of certain benefits in its revenue. Therefore, a presentation adjustment was made to the company's income and expenses for 2019, which did not affect the parent's and the Group's results.

In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, the Cafeterias segment recognised close to PLN 1.5m in depreciation of right-of-use assets and a PLN 0.12m interest expense on lease liabilities.
Other activities and corporate include revenue other than from sales of non-pay incentive or fitness products. Indirect costs not allocated to any of the above activities are also presented under corporate. This revenue mainly includes amount from elimination of intersegment transactions, with settlements for the provision of cafeteria platforms as sales channels for sport cards being the most significant item. The relevant expenses are associated with the Incentive Scheme, support functions, other activities not allocated to any of the defined operating segments, etc. The Corporate segment also includes amounts from the elimination of costs, including amortisation of the Group trademark.

The modifications of lease contracts in the nine months ended September 30th 2020 were mainly attributable to renegotiation in the second quarter of the year of the terms and conditions of the rental contracts for retail and office space in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Lease terminations mainly related to early termination of lease contracts following the closure of four fitness clubs in June 2020 and two more in September 2020.

In the nine months ended September 30th 2020 and September 30th 2019, there were no variable lease payments.
The Group is an intermediate lessor with respect to fitness equipment leased to facilities which are the Group's partners, and with respect to office space. The sublease contracts were recognised as operating leases. In the interim consolidated statement of profit or loss for the nine months ended September 30th 2020, the Group recognised income from leases of fitness equipment under an operating sublease of PLN 5,811 thousand and income from sublease of office space of PLN 82 thousand. In the nine months ended September 30th 2019, the amounts were PLN 6,240 thousand and PLN 78 thousand, respectively. These amounts include minimum fixed sublease payments only. In the reporting period, there were no contingent or other payments.
As at September 30th 2020, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was PLN 342.4m. The PLN 36.2m decrease in property, plant and equipment relative to the end of 2019 was attributable mainly to the closure of six fitness clubs in Poland, of which four were closed in June (down PLN 8.8m) and another two in September (down PLN 0.7m), as well as a lower amount of capital expenditure incurred on new assets (PLN 23.5m) relative to the depreciation expense in the period (PLN 51.2m), due to a limited number of new club openings and temporary suspension of investment into existing clubs.
The industry in which the Group operates is subject to seasonal variation. Traditionally, in the third quarter of a calendar year, the activity of holders of sport cards and vouchers is lower than in the first, second and fourth quarters of a year, which affects revenue and profitability of sport card business and the operation of fitness clubs. However, due to the ongoing pandemic and temporary closure of fitness clubs and other sports facilities, this seasonality pattern may change.

In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, the Group's business was affected by the coronavirus epidemic, with temporary government restrictions imposed in the Group's home markets particularly on the operation of sports facilities. The Group's customers and cardholders opted to suspend their sport cards, and the Group did not charge any fees. The Group companies, both in Poland and abroad, did not record any significant increase in contract terminations, and the proportion of suspended sport cards in Poland in April 2020 was estimated at 70%.
As a result, 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, continuous monitoring of debt repayments, reducing capital expenditure, extending payment deadlines in justified cases, and maintaining safe levels of the net debt and liquidity ratios.
The Group is expanding its offering of online products 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 have been under way 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.
In the three months to September 30th 2020, the situation improved, leading to an increase in revenue and gross profit relative to the previous quarter of the year. As at September 30th 2020, the Group recorded a total of 1,056.3 thousand active sport cards, representing 79% of active cards as at the end of the same quarter of 2019 (1,336.1 thousand), including 766.3 thousand cards in Poland and 290.1 thousand on foreign markets, compared with 1,046.1 thousand and 289.6 thousand, respectively, as at the end of September 2019.
Moreover, on June 10th 2020, the General Meeting decided against payment of dividend from the parent's net profit earned in 2019 and for allocation of the entire amount, of PLN 166m, to statutory reserve funds.
As at September 30th 2020, the current and quick liquidity ratios were 0.6, having slightly improved relative to December 31st 2019, when they stood at 0.5. The net debt to EBITDA ratio was 0.02. Net debt is defined as the sum of debt under borrowings and bonds less cash. EBITDA was calculated as operating profit/(loss) for the 12 months ended September 30th 2020, plus depreciation and amortisation for the same period. The Group complied with the covenants under its credit facility agreements.
Despite the net loss posted on continuing operations, in the nine months ended September 30th 2020 the Group generated positive cash flows from operating activities of PLN 235.0m, representing almost 90% of the cash flows generated in the same period of the previous year (PLN 261.6m). Net cash used in investing activities and cash used in financing activities fell by, respectively, PLN 81.0m and PLN 55.1m year on year. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group's cash increased by PLN 99.2m on the end of 2019.
As at September 30th 2020, the Group had approximately PLN 296.3m of funds available in bank accounts (including PLN 125m of available and undrawn overdraft facilities) as well as an undrawn investment facility of PLN 70m.

On January 24th 2020, the parent and BNP Paribas Bank Polska S.A. of Warsaw executed a PLN 70m non-revolving credit facility agreement and a PLN 30m multi-purpose credit facility agreement. The non-revolving facility will be available for 12 months from the date of the agreement and may be used for investment purposes consistent with the Group's strategy. The facility term is 48 months from the date of the agreement. The multi-purpose credit facility may be used to finance day-to-day operations and is available for 12 months from the date of the agreement.
On June 10th 2020, the Annual General Meeting of Benefit Systems S.A. passed a resolution to reduce the parent's share capital from PLN 2,859,142 to PLN 2,795,900 through cancellation of 63,242 treasury bearer shares repurchased by the parent. This resolution became effective upon its adoption, however the shares will be cancelled in accordance with Art. 360.4 of the Commercial Companies Code upon reduction of the parent's share capital, which will take place upon registration of the reduction in the Business Register of the National Court Register. As at the date of issue of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, no such entry was made in the Business Register.
The purpose of the capital reduction is to adjust the amount of the parent's share capital to the total par value of the shares remaining after the cancellation of the shares.
On April 3rd 2020, the parent was notified by Invesco Ltd. of Atlanta that Invesco Ltd. exceeded the 10% threshold of total voting rights at the parent.
On April 16th 2020, the Management Board passed a resolution to propose to the Annual General Meeting that the entire profit of PLN 166,342,521.78 disclosed in the parent's financial statements for 2019 be allocated to the parent's statutory reserve funds. The proposal, positively assessed by the Supervisory Board of the parent, is a one-off deviation from Benefit Systems S.A.'s dividend policy for 2020−2023 related to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 epidemic. On June 10th 2020, the Annual General Meeting passed a resolution to allocate the entire amount of the net profit to statutory reserve funds.
At its April meeting, the Supervisory Board of Benefit Systems International Sp. z o.o. made a decision to withdraw the Group from the Greek market. On June 30th 2020, Benefit Systems Greece MIKE, established to operate on the Greek market, was sold. The Company did not have any material assets and the scale of its business was limited. In the period until the date of sale, the company generated revenue of PLN 0.1m and recognised a loss on sales of PLN 0.1m. As at the date of the sale, the company held assets of PLN 0.4m.
On May 27th 2020, the parent executed an amendment to the multi-purpose and multi-currency credit facility agreement of July 18th 2012 with Santander Bank Polska S.A. of Wrocław and an amendment to the bank guarantee limit agreement of April 2nd 2012 with the same bank. The amendments extend the term of the agreements until May 31st 2021. The bank guarantee limit is PLN 60,000,000.00. On May 27th 2020, the parent and the Bank executed a PLN 5,000,000.00 guarantee limit agreement, with the limit provided to the Company until May 31st 2021.

Following adoption by the Czech tax authorities of the so-called voucher directive (amendments to Directive 2006/112/WR), under which the Czech MultiSport membership card meets the criteria for its recognition as a voucher and thus is exempt from value added tax, the financial result of MultiSport Benefit S.R.O. for the six months ended June 30th 2020 includes an adjustment to input and output VAT for 2019. As a result of the adjustment, in the six months ended June 30th 2020 additional revenue of PLN 32.1m and costs of PLN 15.3m (including cost of sales of PLN 13.8m) were recognised, while net profit/(loss) increased by PLN 13.7m.
In June 2020, four fitness clubs owned by Benefit Systems S.A., i.e. two Fitness Academy clubs and two My Fitness Place clubs, were closed. The closures had a PLN 10.4m adverse effect on the results for the six months ended June 30th 2020; the amount included an impairment loss on property, plant and equipment (PLN -8.8m) and the cost of early termination fees (PLN -4.8m) and was partly offset by the termination of relevant lease contracts (PLN +3.2m). In September 2020, a decision was made to discontinue operations at two more locations. The closed clubs were part of the Fitness Academy and Zdrofit networks. The closures had a PLN 1.2m adverse effect on the results for the three months ended September 30th 2020; the amount included an impairment loss on property, plant and equipment (PLN -0.7m) and the cost of early termination fees (PLN -0.5m)
On July 30th 2020, the Management Board of the parent received a decision of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection ("UOKiK"), whereby the antitrust proceedings are expected to be closed on December 29th 2020.
As reported on August 7th 2020, the parent received a statement of objections ("SO") with respect to the antitrust proceedings initiated on June 22nd 2018. By issuing an SO, the President of the UOKiK does not dispose of the case on the merits but instead, as part of an internal procedure at the UOKiK, provides parties, including the parent, with an opportunity to defend the objections raised against them prior to issuing a final decision closing the proceedings. For detailed information on the proceedings, see Note 2.19 to this report.
On August 17th 2020, the parent and Powszechna Kasa Oszczędnościowa Bank Polski S.A. of Warsaw executed an amendment to the multi-purpose credit facility agreement, whereby the term of the PLN 50,000,000 overdraft facility granted to the parent by the bank was extended until August 21st 2021.
On August 17th 2020, the Management Board of the parent passed a resolution to establish a bond programme for the parent with a total nominal value of up to PLN 100,000,000 and executed an agency agreement for the Programme with Haitong Bank, S.A. Poland Branch. On September 21st 2020, the Management Board of the parent passed resolutions on the issue of Series A and Series B bonds by the Company. The Series A and Series B bonds issued by the Company were registered in the depository for securities maintained by Krajowy Depozyt Papierów Wartościowych S.A. on October 7th 2020. For detailed information on the terms of the bond programme, see Note 2.11 to this report.

On September 14th 2020, the Extraordinary General Meeting passed a resolution to set up a capital reserve of PLN 13m to be earmarked for loans to employees of the parent or its subsidiaries out of which they would be able to acquire parent shares through the exercise of subscription warrants acquired by eligible employees under the share-based payment scheme operated in previous years.
On September 24th 2020, the Management Board of the parent (the acquirer) announced its intention to merge with FitSport Polska Sp. z o.o. (the acquiree). The merger plan, agreed on by the merging companies, was published in Current Report No. 29/2020 of September 24th 2020. The merger resolution will be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, convened for November 16th 2020.
As at September 30th 2020, the parent received declarations from 35 out of the 48 persons eligible under the 2017–2020 Incentive Scheme on the acquisition of 35,145 Series E ordinary bearer shares and payment of the issue price of PLN 491.93 per share, in the exercise of rights attached to Series G, Series H and Series I subscription warrants. Rights attached to the Series E shares will vest upon registration of the shares in the securities accounts of the eligible persons.
Physical activity is gaining importance as a means to combat lifestyle diseases and to build mental and physical resilience, as stressed by the World Health Organization, the Ministry of Health and the National Health Fund, as well as many experts from around the globe. Regular physical activity and healthy lifestyle reduce the risk of arterial hypertension, excess weight and obesity, as well as of type 2 diabetes, that is lifestyle diseases considered a risk factor also when cooccurring with COVID-19. According to experts, people with a high BMI are also at risk of a more severe course of COVID-19 regardless of their age, sex or other health factors. In addition, the prolonged pandemic-induced stress may adversely affect the well-being of Poles and their ability to be effective at work. More and more employers have noticed this problem, understanding that care for mental and physical well-being is a sign of responsibility. This has been confirmed by research: as many as 67% of international companies plan to expand their well-being programmes, including in such areas as stress management, promotion of physical activity and healthy diet, which are already part and parcel of the MultiSport Programme.
Regular physical activity is an integral part of good health, which for 55% of Poles is the most valuable thing in life. As a result of the pandemic-related lockdown, including the closure of sports and recreational facilities in March, 43% of Poles reduced their physical activity levels.
March 14th 2020 marked the temporary closure of sports facilities and fitness clubs, which remained closed until June 6th 2020. Customers of the MultiSport Programme were given the option to temporarily suspend their sport cards as of April 2020. As a result, the number of active cards decreased from 1,548.9 thousand (including 1,177.5 thousand in Poland and 371.4 thousand on foreign markets) at the end of the first quarter of 2020 to 787.1 thousand (including 498.9 thousand in Poland and 288.2 thousand on foreign markets) at the end of the second quarter of 2020.

During the period of stay-at-home orders, the MultiSport Programme was extended to include online workout sessions available on the www.kartamultisport.pl platform and numerous supplements supporting healthy lifestyles, such as personalised nutrition plans, consultation with dieticians and personal coaches, challenges promoting healthy habits and numerous expert materials supporting, for instance, the ergonomics of working from home, or a mindfulness course, which made the MultiSport membership card a valuable tool for building both physical and mental health of employees sent to work from home by many companies.
In response to the growing interest in online physical exercise during the pandemic, the Fitness Branch of Benefit Systems S.A. created the Yes2Move platform, offering access not only to the constantly expanding base of online and live workout sessions led by qualified coaches, but also, starting from the third quarter of the year, to a store selling food supplements, dietetic food, fitness accessories and a range of other workout supplements and healthy lifestyle products.
After the reopening of sports facilities, the number of people resuming regular exercise increased month by month. The number of active sport cards rose significantly from the beginning of July relative to the end of June, to 1,002.2 thousand as at July 1st 2020 (an increase of 27% on the end of June) and to 1,056.3 thousand as at September 30th 2020 (up 34% on the end of June).
In the first six months of the year, the Benefit Systems Group, as an entity sharing responsibility for its sports partners and the entire market, introduced additional solutions supporting the fitness industry: sports and recreational facilities received financial support helping them to reopen their business, including for the necessary disinfection of the facilities; the repayment of loans provided to partners for expanding their sports infrastructure was suspended; and the acceptance of partners' outdoor activities and settlement of virtual visits to online workout sessions began.
The Group also pursued initiatives to educate people on the immunity benefits of physical activity and to raise their awareness of safety and sanitary procedures in place at the reopened sports and recreational facilities. To this end, the 'Good to see you again!' campaign was launched in June, referring to the MultiSport summer holiday gamification which encouraged cardholders to exercise at the facilities during the summer holiday period, with the campaign slogans estimated to have reached nearly 8m people. The wide choice of sports activities available under the MultiSport membership card was also communicated through the 'MultiMożliwości' campaign run both nationwide (through online advertising) and locally (in urban space). To complement health promotion efforts, the 'Improve your immunity' educational campaign was launched in September by six Benefit Systems fitness brands to promote, among other things, regular physical activity, also at home, as a way to strengthen the immune system.
Key factors with bearing on the Group's performance in the last quarter of 2020 will include the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on the operation of sports facilities, including their temporary closure ordered by the authorities of countries where the Group operates, designed to contain the spread. Pursuant to the Regulation of the Polish Council of Ministers of October 16th 2020, swimming pools, aquaparks, gyms, sports clubs and fitness centres were closed again, as of October 17th 2020. The only exception are facilities operating within medical establishments for patients, as well as those dedicated to people taking part in sporting competitions, sports activities or sports events, and to university and school students – as part of their university or school classes. Among the foreign markets where the Group operates, significant restrictions were introduced in the fourth quarter of 2020 in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Both countries decided on a temporary full closure of sports facilities – in the Czech Republic from October 9th 2020 and in Slovakia from October 15th 2020.
Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a major negative impact on the global economy and economies of the countries where the Group companies operate, which is also dampening demand for sport cards among the Group's customers. However, it should be noted that demand for sports activities among sport cardholders, as measured by the number of visits to sports

facilities, was close to that recorded in the previous year, despite the more stringent sanitary measures under which sports facilities operated in the third quarter of 2020.
As at October 1st 2020, the number of active sport cards at the Group was 1,109.2 thousand (including 807.8 thousand in Poland and 301.3 thousand in foreign markets), i.e. approximately 322.1 thousand cards more on the end of June 2020.
The Group has consistently estimated the long-term potential of the Polish sport card market at 1.8m to 2.2m cards, and has seen a strong growth potential of the MultiSport programme in foreign markets (currently in 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, which in turn may generate demand for physical activity services, which are the Group's main business area.
Additionally, in recent months the Group has begun to expand its offering to include services from outside the markets of non-pay benefits and fitness club operation, where it already enjoys a wellestablished position. In response to challenges created by the prevailing uncertainty, new online services are being developed, including the Yes2Move workout platform for individual customers, as well as the online store offering food and accessories for athletes.
In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, the parent and its subsidiaries did not issue any debt securities.
In March 2020, Benefit Partners Sp. z o.o. redeemed PLN 30.2m-worth of outstanding bonds.
On August 17th 2020, the Management Board of the parent passed a resolution to establish a bond programme for the parent, with a total nominal value of up to PLN 100,000,000 (the "Programme"), and executed an agency agreement for the Programme with Haitong Bank, S.A. Poland Branch ("Haitong Bank"). The Programme has been approved by the Supervisory Board of the parent.
On September 21st 2020, the Management Board of the parent passed resolutions on the issue of Series A and Series B bonds by the Company.
The Series A and Series B bonds issued by the Company were registered in the depository for securities maintained by Krajowy Depozyt Papierów Wartościowych S.A. on October 7th 2020. On the same day, pursuant to a resolution of the Management Board of the Warsaw Stock Exchange dated October 5th 2020, the bonds were introduced into the multilateral trading facility on Catalyst. Each issue comprised up to 50,000 bonds with a total value of up to PLN 50m. The Programme provides for amortisation of the Series B bonds for a total amount of PLN 20,000,000 in the third year. Both series will be issued with an early redemption option for the parent.
All bonds issued under the Programme were secured on shares in selected subsidiaries of the Group, on fitness equipment and on the Benefit Systems trademark.
The terms and conditions of the Programme do not specify the issue objectives for the individual series of the bonds. By establishing the Programme, the parent intends to diversify the Group's financing sources amid the heightened market uncertainty in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The issue proceeds may be used to finance the Group's development, including on foreign markets.
In the nine months ended September 30th 2020, the parent issued 300 Series E ordinary bearer shares with a par value of PLN 1.00 per share as a result of exercise by an Eligible Person of

rights attached to Series H subscription warrants granted to the person under the 2017−2020 Incentive Scheme.
As at September 30th 2020, the parent's share capital was PLN 2,859 thousand (December 31st 2019: PLN 2,859 thousand) and was divided into 2,859,142 shares with a par value of PLN 1 per share. All shares were paid up in full. All shares participate equally in the distribution of profits and each share confers the right to one vote at the General Meeting, with the proviso that the Company does not exercise voting rights attached to 118,053 treasury shares.
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.
When calculating diluted earnings per share, the effect of convertible options on the parent shares issued under the Group's incentive schemes is taken into account. The calculation of earnings per share is presented below.

The Group did not recognise any cost of the Scheme for 2020 as, in the opinion of the Management Board of the parent, currently it is not probable that the 50% consolidated profit before tax threshold would be reached.
In the reporting period, the total cost of the Scheme disclosed in Benefit Systems S.A.'s results was PLN 924 thousand from remeasurement of the second tranche of warrants granted for 2019 as at January 9th 2020 (the difference between the cost recognised in 2019 and the final accounting in 2020).

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 and applies 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 April 16th 2020, the Management Board passed a resolution to propose to the Annual General Meeting that the entire profit of PLN 166,342,521.78 disclosed in the parent's financial statements for 2019 be allocated to the parent's statutory reserve funds.
The proposal, positively assessed by the Supervisory Board of the parent, is a one-off deviation from Benefit Systems S.A.'s dividend policy for 2020−2023 related to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 epidemic.
On June 10th 2020, the parent's Annual General Meeting resolved to allocate the entire net profit to statutory reserve funds.
The equity interests and percentages of total voting rights 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, issued in 2016 and 2017, 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 (issued in 2020) – by holders of Series H 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.
On June 22nd 2018, an investigation carried out by the President of the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (the "President of UOKiK") from November 2015 was converted into antitrust proceedings against the Company.
On June 29th 2018, the parent received the President of UOKiK's decision notifying it of antitrust proceedings having been initiated against Benefit Systems S.A. and 15 other undertakings in connection with a suspected arrangement that could lead to restricting competition in the local or national market for fitness services or in other relevant markets. The proceedings also involved six managers, one of whom is employed at the Benefit Systems Group.
In accordance with the applicable Polish regulations, a fine that can potentially be imposed on an undertaking involved may equal up to 10% of its revenue for the year preceding the issuance of

the relevant decision. Fines may also be imposed on individual former members of the Management Board of the parent.
Disagreeing with the allegations raised by the President of UOKiK, on July 27th 2018 the parent submitted its response where, in addition to a detailed position on the respective allegations, it described the positive role it has played in the Polish fitness market.
The issuance of a final decision by the President of UOKiK has been postponed five times, with the closing of the antitrust proceedings currently scheduled for December 29th 2020. As announced in Current Report No. 22/2020 of August 7th 2020, the parent received a statement of objections from the President of UOKiK ("SO") with respect to the antitrust proceedings. The SO refers to the suspected establishment by the parent and its subsidiaries of a market sharing cartel for fitness clubs. By issuing an SO, the President of the UOKiK does not dispose of the case on the merits but instead provides parties, including the parent, with an opportunity to defend the objections raised against them prior to issuing a final decision closing the proceedings. The parent disagrees with the objections of the President of UOKiK and has submitted its position on the case. It cannot be ruled out that the proceedings will result in imposition of a fine, the amount of which cannot be reliably estimated at the current stage. The Management Board of the parent analysed the situation and concluded that the parent would appeal against the fine, should any such fine be imposed, to the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection (SOKiK).
The parent responds to all questions and doubts raised by the President of UOKiK on an ongoing basis. In accordance with the applicable provisions of law and good practice, the Management Board of the parent will keep the market informed of any subsequent developments in the proceedings.
The tax inspection carried out by the local Revenue Office questioned the right to deduct VAT by Benefit Systems Bulgaria EOOD for the costs of visits generated by holders of trial cards. Trial cards are offered free of charge and may be used user during a trial period of up to one month. The company is of the opinion that a trial period is in fact a rebate offered to customers for a period when they are on fee-based plans and it is therefore reasonable to recognise VAT on trial visits as deductible. An independent tax firm assessed the probability of the tax office recognising the company's arguments at 55%. Therefore, the company decided not to recognise a provision for the disputed amount. The estimated amount of the liability is approximately PLN 1m.
Another area of interest for the Tax Audit was the failure to include in the supplier registers the invoices which were recognised by Benefit Systems Bulgaria EOOD as costs, reducing the CIT and VAT base. The company has obtained from suppliers assurance that the explanation and any missing documents will be delivered to the tax office within the prescribed time limit.
An independent tax firm assessed the probability of success at more than 50%.Therefore, the company decided not to recognise a provision for the disputed amount. The estimated amount of the liability is approximately PLN 0.1m.
On June 30th 2020, the Group sold the company operating on the Greek market. The scale of the divested operations was immaterial for the Group: in the period until the date of the sale, the company generated revenue of PLN 0.1m and recognised a loss on sales of PLN 0.1m. As at the date of the sale, the company held assets of PLN 0.4m.
The Company has not released any profit forecasts for 2020.

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.
Debt securities issued by Benefit Systems S.A.
On October 7th 2020:
have been registered in the securities depository maintained by the National Depository of Securities.
Thus, on October 7, 2020, the unconditional allocation of Series A Bonds and Series B Bonds took place, therefore the issue of Series A Bonds and Series B Bonds was completed.
On October 20th 2020, the Central Securities Depository of Poland issued statement No. 1055/2020 concerning conditional registration of 35,145 Series E ordinary bearer shares in the Company, with a par value of PLN 1.00 per share, under ISIN code PLBNFTS00018, on condition that they are introduced to trading on the regulated market on which other Company shares, designated with the same ISIN code, are traded. The registration of Series E shares involves shares issued by the Company as a result of a conditional increase of the Company's share capital to implement the 2017–2020 Incentive Scheme.
On 3rd November 2020, the Management Board of the Warsaw Stock Exchange adopted resolution concerning admitting and introducing to trading in the parallel market on the stock exchange of 35,145 series E ordinary bearer shares of the Company, each with the nominal value of one zloty (PLN 1.00) (the "Shares") on condition that the National Depository of Securities (Krajowy Depozyt Papierów Wartościowych S.A.) registers the shares on 6th November 2020, and marks them with code PLBNFTS00018. The resolution came into force as of the date of its adoption. The issue of the Shares introduced and admitted to trading on the exchange on the basis of the Resolution covers the shares issued by the Company as part of conditional capital increase of the Company with a view to implementing the Incentive Plan for 2017 - 2020.
