Nerio Alessandri, President and CEO, declared: "Technogym is recognized as the iconic wellness brand, built over forty years of research and innovation. The record revenues achieved in 2022 are an important result for which we thank our employees and stakeholders.
Our uniqueness has been even more evident as customers continued to show their support thanks to our record investments in digital innovation and AI. This allows us to strengthen our value proposition and brand equity, thanks to the Technogym Ecosystem, able to offer our fans an unparalleled training experience and to support industry operators in this phase of market recovery.
Consumers choose Technogym at their favorite club, in their corporate fitness centre, at the best hotels, in the most beautiful locations in the world or at home, while having fun, challenging themselves, or within health programs. We will continue to grow and create value to be more and more relevant within the education towards wellness and health lifestyle, in coherence with our "Let's Move for a Better World" mission.
Medical studies, all over the world, have proven that physical exercise is a powerful medicine to support "healthy longevity". In this context, and in line with our historic ESG commitment, Technogym positions itself as the wellness lifestyle enabler, thanks to the development of personalized solution to improve health and quality of life".


Cesena (Italia), March 29 th 2023 – The Board of Directors of Technogym Spa (TGYM.MI), the wellness company, has today reviewed and approved the consolidated financial statements and the draft financial statements for 2022 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS).
The year ended with record revenues of € 721.5 million (+18% compared to 2021 or +15% at constant exchange rates) thanks to double-digit growth on all continents, with a particularly positive performance in both North America (+46%) driven by the USA, and in Europe (+14%) despite market uncertainty. The data reflects the company's speed and flexibility in adapting first to the challenges posed by the pandemic in 2021, with significant growth in the consumer segment, and then resuming strongly in 2022, with a +29% growth in the commercial segment. The latter showed an increase in all segments, with "Hospitality & Residential" and "Health Corporate and Performance" achieving the highest results in history.
The results achieved are even more significant when considering that the need to adjust price lists to the increase in raw material prices and transportation costs has maintained stability in volumes and a positive effect on revenues, providing further evidence of Technogym's pricing power, the result of its recognized luxury brand positioning in the wellness sector.
However, the uncertainty of the international political situation and inflationary pressures have affected the consumer segment, which saw its turnover decrease by -9%.
Adjusted EBITDA is € 132 million, up +23%, and is now close to the record achieved in the pre-pandemic year, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.3%.
Adjusted net profit grew by +29% to € 66 million, allowing for a proposed dividend of € 0.25 per share.
The net financial position is positive at €122 million, an improvement of € 26 million compared to 2021, thanks to the significant cash generation recorded in the fiscal year.
2022 Financial results
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.
A brief overview of consolidated revenues, based on customer categories, geographical area and distribution channels, as well as other key economic and financial data is provided below.
1) Revenue
The total revenues for the fiscal year amounted to EUR 721,5 million, representing a +18% increase compared to 2021 (+14.9% at constant exchange rates) thanks to the continued growth in the BtoB segment, led by the strong performance of the "Hospitality & Residential" and "Health Corporate and Performance" segments.
Below is a brief analysis of revenues based on:
- Customer categories
- Geographic areas
- Distribution channels.


Revenue by customer categories
| (In thousands of Euro and percentage of total revenue) | Data as of Dec 31st | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 vs 2021 | % | ||
| BtoC | 165,382 | 181,706 | (16,324) | (9.0%) | |
| BtoB | 556,107 | 429,705 | 126,401 | 29.4% | |
| Total Revenues | 721,489 | 611,412 | 110,077 | 18.0% |
As of December 31st 2022 revenues showed a strong recovery in the BtoB segment (+29.4%), driven by both the Club segment, which is rapidly returning to 2019 revenue levels, and the "Hospitality & Residential" and "Health Corporate and Performance" segments, which achieved their highest results in history.
The BtoC segment recorded a natural slowdown compared to last year but remains significantly higher (+83%) than in 2019, demonstrating the ongoing interest of end-users for hybrid training solutions that include the private residence, and the greater resilience of the BtoC Prestige segment on which the company has historically focused.
Revenue by geographic areas
| (In thousands of Euro and percentage of total revenue) | Data as of Dec 31 | Changes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 vs 2021 | % | |
| Europe (ex Italy) | 333,171 | 291,122 | 42,049 | 17.4% |
| APAC | 122,336 | 110,782 | 11,554 | 25.4% |
| North America | 101,103 | 69,042 | 32,061 | 20.5% |
| Italy | 63,659 | 63,032 | 627 | 5.4% |
| MEIA | 83,737 | 62,333 | 21,404 | 45.4% |
| LATAM | 17,483 | 15,101 | 2,382 | 11.8% |
| Total Revenues | 721,489 | 611,412 | 110,077 | 18.0% |
The Group recorded growth in all geographic areas, with particular relevance given to the performances achieved in North America (+46.4%), driven by a very significant growth in the USA, and in Europe, where despite the more complex macroeconomic context, the company managed to grow in all the most relevant countries, leveraging the uniqueness of its digital solution and the increasing interest for high-value training solutions from premium customers.


Revenue by distribution channel
| (In thousands of Euro and percentage of total revenue) | Data as of Dec 31 | Changes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 vs 2021 | % | |
| Field sales | 465,768 | 374,290 | 91,478 | 24.4% |
| Wholesale | 176,817 | 145,322 | 31,495 | 21.7% |
| Inside sales | 66,280 | 79,500 | (13,210) | (16.6%) |
| Retail | 12,624 | 12,300 | 324 | 2.6% |
| Total Revenues | 721,489 | 611,412 | 110,077 | 18.0% |
The revenue analysis by sales channel highlights the excellent performance of both the Field Sales channel, achieved through better productivity of the direct sales network, and the Wholesale channel, which recorded significant growth in both MEIA (notably in Saudi Arabia and South Africa) and APAC (with noteworthy growth in Thailand and Vietnam, and the consolidation of performance in strategic and underpenetrated geographical areas such as Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia).
The sales channels more exposed to home fitness, Inside Sales and Retail, faced a partially impacted 2021 due to a difficult healthcare situation in some countries. The Retail channel consolidated the result of the previous year, while the Inside Sales channel was impacted by international dynamics in the Home segment, despite positive performances in specific markets such as the USA, Australia, and the UAE.
2) EBITDA, Net Operating Income and Net Profit
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to Euro 131.9 million, an increase of € 24.9 million (+23.3%) compared to € 107 million in 2021. This performance is attributable to the increase in BtoB volumes and the increase in list prices applied by the Group to offset the rise in operating costs, especially those related to raw materials and logistics. In such a scenario, Technogym achieved an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 18.3%, up from 17.5% in the previous year.
Adjusted Operating Income amounted to € 85.3 million, an increase of € 18.2 million (+27.2%) compared to 2021, impacted by the operational dynamics previously described in relation to Adjusted EBITDA and higher depreciation compared to the previous year for € 3.9 million, related to investments made by the Group for the digitalization of the offering, new technologies employed and content development. The adjusted ROS Margin, which amounted to 12% in 2022, increased from 11% in 2021.
Adjusted Group Net Income amounted to €66.1 million, an increase of € 14.9 million (+29.1%) compared to € 51.2 million in 2021. This increase is consistent with the trends in Adjusted Operating Income mentioned above, as well as a positive effect from the conversion of currency positions for € 870 thousand (negative € 1,432 thousand in 2021). Adjusted Group Net Income represents 9.2% of Group revenues (8.4% in 2021).
In the year ended December 31st 2022, non-recurring charges amounted to € 2.5 million, mainly attributable to costs related to staff turnover, as well as other costs for extraordinary services not related


to ordinary operating activities. As of December 31st 2021, non-recurring income of € 11.8 million were recorded, related to the gain obtained from the sale of shares held in Amleto APS (Exerp Group) for € 13.9 million, net of non-recurring charges of € 2.1 million.
3) Net Financial Position
During the fiscal year Technogym recorded a cash generation of € 100.2 million before taxes (implying a conversion rate of 78%), despite an acceleration of investments (€ 34.3 million compared to € 27.7 million in 2021) aimed at supporting the development of innovative training solutions and experiences based on content and artificial intelligence. At year-end, the company further improved its net cash position to € 121.6 million, compared to € 96.0 in 2021 (including the application of the accounting principle IFRS 16, whose impact amounts to € 38 million).
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 € 0.25 per share, a significant growth compared to € 0.16 per share in 2022.
The dividend will be paid on May 24, 2023 (coupon date May 22, 2023 and record date May 23, 2023).
Significant events after December 31, 2022
No significant events occurred after December 31st 2022.
Business outlook
Despite the uncertainty regarding the global macroeconomic environment, given the inflationary pressures that affected much of last year, the wellness industry has proven to be resilient, with a growth rate expected to reach 9.7% over the next three years.
The resilience of the industry is also confirmed by the increasing number of visits to fitness centers (+32% in January 2023 compared to the same month in 2022), as well as the willingness of end-users spending on wellness, particularly in customized training. The increasing creation of dedicated workout content on major social media platforms also contributes to promoting physical activity and, ultimately, a healthier lifestyle.
The encouraging results achieved to date, as well as the order backlog, confirm expectations of sustainable growth for the current fiscal year, focusing our investments to strengthen the value proposition.
The company will share its strategies and growth opportunities with the financial community during its Investor Wellness Day, scheduled for June 19th 2023.


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 reported revenues of € 504.3 million, an increase from €438.8 million in 2021. Technogym's adjusted net profit for the period amounted to € 69.9 million, an increase of € 14.7 million compared to € 55.2 million in 2021. Such a trend is the result of higher BtoB volumes, a list price increase, a better product mix, and the positive effect of currency conversion, which offset a reduction in sales volumes in the BtoC segment.
The financial position of Technogym S.p.A. shows a Net Equity of € 390.1 million, compared to € 352.4 million in 2021, and a net cash position of € 57.9 million, compared to € 21.9 million as of December 31 st 2021.
Consolidated non-financial statement for Fiscal Year 2022
The Board of Directors approved and reviewed the results of the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement as of December 31st 2022 prepared as a separate report from the Annual Report in accordance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 254/2016.
The Statement, prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards) describes the current scenario and the latest developments of the company in relation to Social, Environmental and Governance issues through a selection of the most significant and material KPIs to measure the sustainability strategy of the company in the medium term.
Throughout the year, Technogym continued to define and quantify multiple corporate projects aimed at achieving the goals of the sustainability policy approved in 2021. These goals, which include not only environmental issues but also social objectives related to improving the quality of life for all stakeholders, such as strengthened diversity and inclusion policies, are primarily focused on achieving circular economy and emissions reduction, and can be summarized as 'Healthy People, Healthy Planet'.
The 2022 Consolidated non-financial statement will be available on the Group's website within the legal deadlines.
Other resolutions
1) Plan for the free allocation of the right to receive ordinary shares of the Company, named "2023-2025 Performance Share Plan".

Sales, if executed in cash, shall be made at a price per share determined to be established in accordance to the applicable regulations and/or to the permitted market practices in force over time, having regard to the implementation methods applied, to the share price performance in the period prior to the transaction and to the best interest of the Company.


3) Proposal to delegate to the Board of Directors, pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, for a period of five years from the date of the resolution, the right to increase share capital, free of charge, divisible and executable in several tranches, pursuant to Art. 2349 of the Italian Civil Code.

Alternative performance indicators
This press release provides a number of alternative performance indicators used by management to allow an improved assessment of the business performance and the financial performance and position of the Group. These indicators are not recognized as accounting measures in the context of IFRS and should therefore not be considered as an alternative way to assess the financial performance of the Group and its financial position. Since the calculation of these measures is not governed by the applicable accounting standards, the calculation methods applied by the Company may not be the same as those used by others and therefore these indicators may not be comparable. Therefore, investors should not place undue reliance on this data or information. This press release also contains certain financial, operating and other indicators that have been adjusted to reflect non-recurring extraordinary events and transactions, known as special items. This 'adjusted' information was included to allow better comparison of the financial information for all periods; however this information is not recognized as economic or financial data within the scope of the IFRS and/or does not constitute an indication of the historical performance of the Company or Group. Therefore, investors should not place undue reliance on this data or information.
