Nerio Alessandri, Chairman and CEO, said:

"2020 was an unexpected year of great shifts, which have changed our lifestyle quickly and deeply, with strong impacts on diabetes, obesity and mental health.

2020 ended with a growth of over 70% in home fitness. This context has not only accelerated the growth of home fitness, but it has also stimulated new health and prevention needs, pushing the growth of the sport, health and rehabilitation market for us.

Our "Wellness on the go" strategy launched in 2012 - meaning the possibility for consumers to connect to their own personalized training program anytime and anywhere: at home, at the gym, at work, on vacation, at the doctor and outdoors - which we have pursued for years, today proves to be more and more relevant. The future of fitness will be characterized by the hybrid model: people will be training both at home and at the gym. This model will bring great opportunities for Technogym: from 2021, alongside with a continuous growth in home fitness, we expect BtoB segments to strongly recover thanks to the awaited reopening of wellness clubs, hotels, offices and sports centers.

After the success of the products launched in 2020, like Technogym Bench and MyRun, in 2021 Technogym's innovation continues with the launch, within the first half, of the new Technogym App. The new app will complete Technogym's Ecosystem and represent the central element to offer people an unprecedented training experience variety and operators the opportunity to benefit from Technogym's huge community and provide innovative services to their members. Moreover, the second half of 2021 will see the global launch of new products in line with the brand BtoC prestige and BtoB premium positioning.

2021, that will register a double digit growth, will also see us as Official Suppliers of the Olympics at Tokyo 2020, an extraordinary event not only for the promotion of Technogym, but also to continue spreading the culture of wellness and sport. Starting from the involvement of tens of millions of people who train with Technogym every day around the world, we work to help building a better world that focuses on health and environmental protection, as evidenced by our social commitment to sustainability that fully aligns our business and ESG objectives.

Let's Move for a better world!"

Cesena (Italia), March 24th 2021 – The Board of Directors of TECHNOGYM (TGYM.MI), a leader in the international fitness, sport and health equipment market and operating in the broader Wellness industry, today examined and approved the consolidated financial statements and the draft financial statements for 2020, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards IAS/IFRS.

2020 was characterized by the worldwide spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and by lockdowns and containment measures implemented in the various countries. In this context, Technogym, that over the years had built a complete home fitness offering, benefited from the growing interest of consumers in home products, recording strong growth in the home fitness segment which mitigated the temporary slowdown of the BtoB segments. In Italy, a country where Technogym has the most consolidated presence on consumer channels, the performance of home fitness has even allowed for an increase in overall turnover. In 2020, there was also an excellent performance in the sales of digital services.

Adjusted EBITDA recorded a moderate decline mainly linked to the lower sales volumes recorded during the second half of the year as well as the termination of some non-recurring cost reduction initiatives recorded during the first half of the year.

The net financial position improved significantly compared to 2019 thanks to the significant cash generation recorded in the period, which allowed Technogym to increase its net cash position at the end of the year, despite the confirmation of strategic investments for the mid-long term development of the company.

Although the net profit is understandably down compared to 2019, the strong cash generation of 2020 allows the return to the remuneration for shareholders, after the prudential pause decided in 2020, with a significant amount, resulting also from previous year profit.

As regards innovation, in 2020 the company benefited from its consolidated "Wellness on the go" strategy which, through the Technogym Ecosystem - including connected fitness equipment, apps, ondemand content and digital services - allows consumers to access their wellness experience anytime and anywhere: at home, in the gym and on-the-go. With this perspective Technogym launched , in 2020 the new Mywellness app 5.0 to allow fitness clubs to offer their classes and programs to their members, even at home. When it comes to new products, in July Technogym launched Excite Live, the new cardio line which, thanks to the Technogym Live console, allows the users to access a complete library of ondemand training experiences: trainer-led one-on-one sessions, virtual training, goal-driven routines, etc. Moreover, Technogym Bike, launched in Italy and the UK at the end of 2019, was made available throughout Europe in 2020. At the end of the year Technogym further expanded its range of products for home fitness with Technogym Bench, the innovative bench equipped with all the accessories for training and connected via QR code to a vast library of training programs training video.

Today, approximately 80,000 fitness centers are equipped with Technogym worldwide and 20,000 of them are connected to the Mywellness Cloud digital platform with around 18 million registered end users. The company continues its commitment in marketing and communication activities aimed at positioning Technogym as a Premium brand in the BtoB and Prestige in the BtoC sector and to support its role as a training partner for the end user anytime and anywhere.

Performance in 2020

Consolidated results have been prepared in compliance with the International Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and include the effects of the IFRS 16 accounting standards.

Below you can find a brief comment on Revenues, based on:

  • Client category
  • Geographical Area
  • Distribution Channels

1) Revenues

Despite the impact of the pandemic on a global level, Technogym contains the turnover contraction at -23.8% (-22.6% at constant exchange rates), with a gradual improvement compared to that recorded during the first nine months of the year. It's worth noting the strong growth in the home fitness segment, which accelerated in the last quarter and that partially mitigated the postponement of orders across BtoB segments.

(In thousands of Euro and percentage of total revenues) Data as of Dec 31st
2020 2019 '20 VS '19 %
BtoC 154.129 90.400 63.729 70,5%
BtoB 355.550 578.531 (222.981) (38,5%)
Total Revenue 509.679 668.931 (159.252) (23,8%)

Revenue by client category

Revenue as of 31 December confirm the strong growth of the BotC compared to the previous year (+ 71% Y / Y with a further acceleration to + 97% in the fourth quarter) thanks to Technogym's wide range of products and services in line with the growing demand for at-home training. At the same time, there was a contraction in the BtoB business, albeit with different dynamics between the different segments and geographies and with general signs of improvement where the pandemic has reduced its impact. The performance of the Health segment should be noted: it was the best among BtoB segments supported by the growing demand for training solutions related to health and rehabilitation.

Revenue by geographic areas

Data as of Dec 31st Changes
(In thousands of Euro and percentage of total revenues) 2020 2019 2020 vs 2019 %
Europe (ex Italy) 247.875 330.333 (82.458) (25,0%)
MEIA 42.866 49.885 (7.019) (14,1%)
APAC 88.343 118.319 (29.976) (25,3%)
Italy 59.789 58.692 1.097 1,9%
North America 57.304 87.716 (30.412) (34,7%)
LATAM 13.502 23.986 (10.484) (43,7%)
Total Revenue 509.679 668.931 (159.252) (23,8%)

In a scenario in which all areas continue to be affected by the impact of the pandemic on BtoB activities, the performances recorded in Italy and in APAC are noteworthy. In Italy, thanks to the strong contribution of home fitness, there was an overall increase in turnover of 1.9%; in APAC, despite the negative performance of the period (-25.3%) there was an initial recovery (-13.7% in Q4) as a result of a gradual return to normality in many countries within the region. North America was the area most impacted by the pandemic (-34.7% Y / Y) in consideration of the pandemic worsening in the last quarter of 2020 which led to several Key Accounts in the Club sector and operators of the Hospitality segment to postpone some investments. In Europe, which continues to represent the main geographic area of the group, there was a 25% contraction following a particularly bold revenue contraction in some important countries, such as the UK. Coming to emerging geographies, MEIA registered a moderate contraction (-14.1%), supported by the excellent performance of home fitness in the UAE, and LATAM declined (-43.7%).

Revenue by distribution channel

Data as of Dec 31st Changes
(In thousands of Euro and percentage of total revenues) 2020 2019 2020 vs 2019 %
Field sales 325.035 491.843 (166.808) (33,9%)
Wholesale 102.358 129.312 (26.954) (20,8%)
Inside sales 70.009 39.525 30.484 77,1%
Retail 12.277 8.252 4.025 48,8%
Total Revenue 509.679 668.931 (159.252) (23,8%)

Regarding revenue performance by sales channel, the company achieved an excellent performance within the distribution channels most exposed to home fitness. Retail, represented by the company's 10 flagship stores, recorded a 48.8% growth in turnover while Inside Sales, which includes teleselling and ecommerce, recorded a growth of + 77.1; both segments recorded an important acceleration during the fourth quarter, in which Inside Sales recorded a triple-digit growth. Field Sales was the channel

most impacted by the lock-down with a contraction of 33.9% during the period, substantially in line with the previous quarters performance, while the Wholesale channel recorded a 20.8% decrease with a slight improvement in the fourth quarter due to the better performances recorded in some countries no longer significantly affected by the pandemic.

2) EBITDA, Net Operating Income and Net Profit

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to Euro 96.9 million, down by Euro 50.9 million (-34.5%) compared to Euro 147.8 million of 2019. The decline is mainly due to the significant decrease in turnover in the period , although mitigated, especially in the first part of the year, by a reduction in operating costs, which did not impact company's strategic development projects.

Overall, the incidence of Adjusted EBITDA on Revenues (EBITDA Adjusted Margin) is 19%, down by 3 percentage points compared to the 2019 figure, including the application of IFRS 16.

Net Operating Income is equal to Euro 58.9 million, down by Euro 53.7 million (-47.7%) compared to 2019. The contraction is influenced by the decrease in sales volumes, partly offset by the containment of costs, higher amortization, depreciation and write-downs, for Euro 4.0 million, compared to the previous year, reflecting the company's investments in innovation delivered in recent years. Overall, the Adjusted ROS for the period was 12%, down by about 5 percentage points compared to 2019.

Adjusted Net Profit amounted to Euro 43.4 million, down by Euro 41.8 million (-49.0%) compared to Euro 85.2 million in 2019. This decrease is mainly due to the decrease in Operating Income mentioned above.

In the financial year ended December 31, 2020, non-recurring costs amounted to Euro 7.4 million, increasing from December 31, 2019 when non-recurring costs amounted to Euro 2 million. This increase is mainly attributable to a write-down of an equity investment for Euro 2.6 million, the donation to the intensive care units of the Romagna Hospitals to deal with the Covid-19 emergency for Euro 1 million, as well as provisions for risks and non-recurring positive effects arising from the Patent box registered during the year 2019.

3) Net Financial Position

Thanks to the company's strong historical focus on managing working capital, Technogym recorded an important cash generation, equal to 95.4 million pre-tax (with a conversion rate of 103%), even in 2020 without reducing its focus on investments (Euro 23 million in the period) necessary to support the development of cutting-edge training solutions and experiences. At the end of the year, the company therefore further improved its net cash position equal to Euro 59.5 million, compared to Euro 3.7 million in 2019 (including the application of the IFRS 16 accounting standard).

4) Proposed allocation of profit for the year

The Board of Directors resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting the payment of a dividend equal to Euro 0.22 per share. This dividend is intended to represent a payout of around 40% on the cumulative earnings for 2019 and 2020.The dividend will be paid on May 26, 2021 (coupon date May 24, 2021 and record date May 25, 2021).

Business Outlook

A sound recovery in BtoB segments is expected in 2021, together with the growth in home fitness. In fact several studies show how health climbed people's priorities after the pandemic and, moreover, a high percentage of the population gained weight and recorded more stress and anxiety due to lockdowns. On the back of these drivers a strong demand of wellness from end-users is expected in 2021, and only a tiny part of them were already members of a fitness club before pandemic; we note that in any country where fitness centres reopened, they recorded a booming interest. That sign, together with gradual mass vaccination of the global population, paves the way to a good recovery in the BtoB segment, as testified by the contract signed in H2 2020 with Fitness Time, the main fitness operator in Saudi Arabia, that choose Technogym for its 140 clubs.

The recovery will impact hotel sector too, asked by guests to adapt available spaces to new requirements, and corporates, that are going to consider the nearness to fitness clubs or the availability of in-building training spaces an even more key feature.

Technogym is confident to continue the growth path in the at-home business for whom is projected a Eur 300 million turnover in 2022 – thanks to the expansion in the product range and to new initiatives, even communication ones, to better support sales – with the goal of reaching Eur 1 billion in group revenues in 2024. The Health segment, which includes the increasing need of health prevention through physiotherapists and cardio muscular rehabilitation, shows great perspectives too, recording a good order intake in early months of 2021.

The international expansion, with a focus on Europe, North America and APAC, will continue to represent the main growth driver for the company, not only in 2021.

Despite the limited visibility Technogym confirms its historical target of a sustainable and profitable growth for the ongoing year, thus targeting a double-digit growth in total revenues, starting from first quarter, and going on with the launch of new products.

Financial Statements of the Parent Company The Board of Directors also approved the financial statements of the parent company, Technogym S.p.A. The Company recorded revenue of Euro 358.1 million, compared to Euro 450.1 million of 2019. Net Profit Adjusted stood at Euro 50.9 million, declining by 27.7 million compared to Euro 78.6 million in 2019. The decline is driven by declinig revenues partially offset by cost cutting initiatives by the parent company. The Statement of Financial Position of

Technogym S.p.A. shows Equity of Euro 330.2 million, compared to Euro 284.2 million in 2019 and a Net Financial Debt of Euro 17.0 million compared to Euro 56.4 Million in 2019. .

Consolidated non-financial statement for Fiscal Year 2020
