Operating performance and comments on the economic and financial results
Macroeconomic scenario
"Starting from the first quarter of the year, the economic situation weakened in the main developed countries, initially due to the temporary deterioration in the pandemic and thereafter due to the consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine". This is how the Bank of Italy's Economic Bulletin of July 2022 begins, highlighting what appears at the moment to be the most significant event, from the geopolitical and economic perspective, of all of 2022.
In the first quarter, activities in the largest advanced economies first reflected the deterioration in the epidemiological situation caused by the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus and the ensuing drastic containment measures enacted primarily by China and, subsequently, the re-accentuation of supply chain issues, emphasised by the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.
In the United States, GDP recorded a contraction of 1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, marking a sharp decline compared to +6.9% in the final quarter of last year, primarily as a result of the negative contribution of net exports and the change in stocks, against growth in household consumption and investments. The negative contribution of foreign trade, as well as stagnation in consumption, contributed to a decline in GDP in Japan as well, albeit less intense (-0.5% in the first quarter) than in the USA. In the United Kingdom, economic activity continued to grow, although at a more moderate rate than in the three previous quarters (+3.1% in the first quarter), reflecting the strong increase in investments and the acceleration of stocks, mitigated by foreign trade trends. Amongst the emerging countries, in China the measures to combat the pandemic imposed by local authorities in some of the largest production centres of the country starting from mid-March triggered a slowdown in activity, while in Russia GDP began to be impacted by the sanctions imposed by the international community.
During the second quarter, consumer confidence and the PMI indexes of the main economies were down, due to increasing tensions linked to the war in Ukraine as well as rising inflation. The United States, the United Kingdom and the Euro Area recorded significant declines in the manufacturing and services PMI indicators, which however remained above the expansion threshold of 50 points. In China, despite the gradual removal of restrictions starting at the end of May and the recovery in PMI indicators, there was a slowdown in activity in the course of the second quarter.
The sanctions imposed on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine and the numerous lockdowns decided upon by the local authorities to limit COVID-19 in China contributed to a strong slowdown in global trade in the first quarter (+1.2% compared to the previous period, vs +2.8% previously), thus slowing the process of recovery towards prepandemic levels that began over one year ago.
Within this context, inflation continued to rise, reaching the highest level of the last forty years in the United States as well as in the United Kingdom (9.1% respectively in June 2022). This growth is primarily linked to the acceleration of energy prices. Also in the Euro Area, inflation reached the record level of 8.6% in June, two-thirds of which linked to rising energy prices, both direct and indirect, in the form of increases in the bills paid by producers of other goods and services. This trend is linked in part to the sanctions imposed against the import of certain types of energy from Russia, as well as the uncertainty regarding future gas flows, which seem to have now become a veritable weapon to combat the European Union's sanctions even more than international ones, due to the greater dependence of many European countries (first and foremost Italy and Germany) on Russian gas.
One example bearing witness to this is the evolution of the price of natural gas in the Dutch market: after the decline in the first half of June, which brought the commodity back to its lowest level since the start of the invasion of Ukraine (Euro 80 / MWh, a level which is however more than triple the 2021 average), the news of the reduction in flows from Russia to several European countries, including Italy and Germany, led to a rapid rise in the price, which reached Euro 170 / MWh in the first ten days of July. Before this last rise, prices and storage benefitted from milder temperatures and
sustained imports of liquefied natural gas - much higher than in past years - which in part offset decreased inflows from Russia.
Rising inflation has accelerated the monetary policy normalisation process. In the United States, the Federal Reserve applied conspicuous and repeated increases in the reference interest rate and announced a plan to reduce its balance sheet. Indeed, the Fed hiked the Fed Funds rate by 50 and 75 basis points, respectively, at its May and June meetings, reaching 1.5% / 1.75%, while making known that it would possibly hike rates again in July. The Fed's governing body also announced the initiation of Quantitative Tightening, or the reduction in the central bank's balance sheet starting from June by suspending its reinvestment of maturing securities (roughly 48 billion dollars in government bonds and mortgagebacked securities). The Bank of England also increased its benchmark rate - in May it finalised the fifth consecutive rise, reaching the rate of 1.25% - and continued to reduce its balance sheet. The ECB acted to combat increasing inflationary pressure, announcing the end of its financial asset purchase programme (APP) starting at the end of June along with an upcoming increase in interest rates at its July meeting, which will very likely be followed by another rate hike in September. In more developed countries, accommodating monetary policies are continuing to be applied in Japan. The scenario is different and more uneven in emerging countries, where while Brazil and India continue to pursue restrictive policies to limit inflation, in Russia and China policies remain accommodating to combat the slowdown in economic activity.
According to forecasts released by the OECD in June, global GDP growth will reach 3.0% in 2022, with a downward revision of 1.5 percentage points compared to the scenario from last December. This trend will be influenced by the repercussions of the war in Ukraine, the erosion of household buying power due to high inflation, as well as the negative impact of increasing uncertainty with respect to private investments. The downward correction was particularly pronounced for Russia, where GDP is expected to decline by 10 percent. Commodity procurement difficulties, logistics bottlenecks and inflationary pressures represent downside risks for all countries, to a particular extent for the Euro Area. In this context, growth of the Italian economy, which recorded modest progress in GDP in the first quarter, will also be at risk in light of the continuation of the war in Ukraine. The most recent projections see Italian GDP expanding by 3.2% in 2022, then followed by more modest growth (+1.3% and +1.7%) in the 2023 and 2024 two-year period.
In this context, profoundly impacted by external events, conditions in the international financial markets gradually deteriorated in the spring, reflecting all of the elements of uncertainty mentioned above. Stock prices declined, particularly in the United States and with reference to "growth" companies (during the first half of the year, the Nasdaq recorded a drop of 30%), and there was a significant increase in volatility (the VIX rose by roughly 66% during the half-year, reaching 29 points). As regards fixed income, the returns on public long and medium maturity securities increased with a growing yield spread between the various countries: the ten-year Bund saw its yield rise from negative territory to 1.33%, while the BTP with the same maturity saw its yield increase from 1.39% to 3.47%.
Currency market
Currency market movements in the period were affected by the monetary policy decisions made by the main central banks in the face of strong inflation caused primarily by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Moving on to the main currencies to which the Group is exposed, please note that in the first half of the year, the average exchange rate of the euro went down by 7.8% against the US dollar, reaching the break-even point in early July, while it rose by 2.3% against the British pound and by 8.7% against the Yen.
Industry scenario
Connectivity between personal devices and exercise machines, able to provide individual end users with a unique and integrated fitness experience, is becoming increasingly central to sector development.
In recent years, there was a further acceleration towards a hybrid training approach, where the end user can train anywhere, including at home, thus further validating the "Wellness on the Go" strategy launched by Technogym in 2012. This context led to growing interest on the part of all professional operators, such as clubs and hotels, to increase the digitalisation of their offer.
Increasing interest in health and a better lifestyle is also supporting the growth of market segments such as Health, luxury residences, where purchasers are increasingly attentive to the quality of the Wellness offering in their building, and the Corporate world, where there are already many companies investing to create work environments that meet the demands of new generations, also to incentivise a return to the office post-pandemic.
With specific reference to the fitness equipment sector, it is worth noting the unique positioning of Technogym, which is able to make the most of how demand is evolving in both the BtoC (business to client) and BtoB (business to business) segments. With the rapid resumption of BtoB activities, the group was able to consolidate its role as the preferred supplier of commercial customers with a Premium positioning, exploiting the only integrated equipment, software and content solution that can be adapted to both BtoC and BtoB locations.
Comments on the economic and financial results
| Changes | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands of Euro and ratios) | 30 June 2022 | 30/06/2021 | 2022 vs 2021 | % |
| Revenues | 325,223 | 276,255 | 48,968 | 17.7% |
| Adjusted EBITDA (1) | 51,826 | 47,972 | 3,855 | 8.0% |
| Adjusted EBITDA Margin (1) | 15.9% | 17.4% | (1.4%) | (8.2%) |
| Adjusted net operating income (2) | 30,304 | 27,747 | 2,557 | 9.2% |
| Adjusted net operating income margin (2) | 9.3% | 10.0% | (0.7%) | (7.2%) |
| Adjusted group profit for the period (3) | 24,999 | 20,041 | 4,958 | 24.7% |
| Adjusted group profit margin (3) | 7.7% | 7.3% | 0.4% | 6.0% |
The economic data recorded by the Group in the first half of 2022 are summarised below, and compared with the first half of the previous year:
(1) The Group defines:
-
adjusted EBITDA as the net operating income, adjusted by the following income statement items: (i) net provisions; (ii) depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses and (iii) non-recurring income/(expenses);
-
the adjusted EBITDA margin as the ratio between adjusted EBITDA and total revenues.
-
EBITDA as the net operating income, adjusted by the following income statement items: (i) net provisions; (ii) depreciation, amortization and impairment losses;
-
the margin EBITDA as the ratio between EBITDA and total revenues.
(2) The Group defines adjusted net operating income as the net operating income adjusted for non-recurring income/(expenses).
(3) The Group defines adjusted group profit as group profit adjusted for non-recurring income/(expenses) and non-recurring taxes.
The following table summarises the main economic indicators used by the Group:
| Half year ended 30 June | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In ratios) | 2022 | 2021 |
| ROS | 8.8% | 13.8% |
| Adjusted ROS | 9.3% | 10.0% |
| Adjusted EBITDA/financial expenses ratio (3) | 117.21 | 105.78 |
Total revenues came to Euro 325,223 thousand, up by Euro 48,968 thousand compared to Euro 276,255 thousand in the first half of 2021. The significant improvement in performance over the previous year (+17.7%) can be primarily ascribed to the strong growth in the volume of the BtoB business, as well as an increase in list prices. This contribution was mitigated by a natural contraction of the BtoC segment. With constant exchange rates, total revenues as of 30 June 2022 would have been equal to Euro 317,439 thousand (+14.9% compared to the first half of 2021).
Adjusted EBITDA came to Euro 51,826 thousand, up by Euro 3,855 thousand (+8%) compared to Euro 47,972 thousand in the first half of 2021. This performance is linked to the increase in sales volumes and higher list prices, which partially offset the cost increase relating to raw materials and logistics recorded throughout the first half of 2022. Furthermore, the business has returned to its normal seasonal trend, characterised by higher marketing costs for trade fairs and events in the first half of the year, as well as an increase in after-sale support activities with respect to last year, due to the reopening of clubs under ordinary operating conditions. In this scenario, Technogym was able to achieve an adjusted EBITDA margin as of 30 June 2022 of 15.9% (17.4% as of 30 June 2021).
Adjusted net operating income came to Euro 30,304 thousand, up by Euro 2,557 thousand (+9.2%) compared to Euro 27,747 thousand in the first half of 2021, also influenced by the trends mentioned above. Net operating income was also affected by higher amortisation and depreciation compared to the first half of 2021, equal to Euro 944 thousand, relating to continuous investments made to digitalise the offer, both with reference to new technologies used and with regard to the development of content. Furthermore, Technogym continues to invest, pursuing its plan to expand and upgrade its boutique stores and offices at the sales branches. The Adjusted ROS, amounting to 9.3% for the half-year ended on 30 June 2022, was therefore down compared to 10% in the first half of the previous year. In this regard, it should be recalled that the trend of revenues in the different quarters of the year is linked primarily to customers' tendency to make their purchases in the second half of the year, and this makes it possible to record generally higher operational profitability in the second part of the year.
The Group's Adjusted profit came to Euro 24,999 thousand, up by Euro 4,958 thousand (+24.7%) compared to Euro 20,041 thousand in 2021. This trend is consistent with the performance mentioned above and benefits from the conversion of foreign currency items for Euro 2,174 thousand (Euro 35 thousand as of 30 June 2021). The Group's adjusted profit represents 7.7% of revenues, while in the first half of 2021 it was 7.3%.
In the half-year period ending on 30 June 2022, non-recurring expense of Euro 1,540 thousand was recognised, linked primarily to personnel expenses and the relative costs not associated with normal operations. As of 30 June 2021, nonrecurring income of Euro 11,128 thousand was recorded linked to the capital gain obtained on the sale of shares held in Amleto APS (Exerp Group), in addition to non-recurring expenses of Euro 812 thousand.
The table below shows the consolidated statement of financial position in condensed and reclassified form, which reports the structure of invested capital and sources of financing as of 30 June 2022 and as of 31 December 2021:
| (In thousands of Euro) | As of 30 June | As of 31 December | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | ||
| Loans | |||
| Net Fixed Capital (4) | 251,845 | 244,755 | |
| Net Operating Capital (5) | 8,219 | (29,176) | |
| Net Invested Capital | 260,063 | 215,579 | |
| Sources | |||
| Equity | 306,471 | 311,560 | |
| Net financial position (6) | (46,408) | (95,981) | |
| Total sources of financing | 260,063 | 215,579 |
(4) Net fixed capital is composed of:(i) Property, plant and equipment; (ii) Intangible assets; (iii) Investments in joint ventures and associates; (iv) Deferred tax assets; (v) Non-current financial assets; (vi) Other non-current assets; (vii) Deferred tax liabilities; (viii) Employee benefit obligations; (ix) Non-current provisions for risks and charges; and (x) Other non-current liabilities (excluding trade payables maturing in more than 12 months).
(5) Net operating capital is composed of:(i) Inventory; (ii) Trade Receivables; (iii) Other current assets; (iv) Trade payables; (v) Current tax liabilities; (vi) Current provisions for risks and charges; and (vii) Other current liabilities.
(6) The net financial position consists of:(i) Current financial assets; (ii) Financial derivative assets; (iii) Cash and cash equivalents; (iv) Non-current financial liabilities (including trade payables maturing in more than 12 months); (v) Current financial liabilities; and (vi) Financial derivative liabilities.
The following table summarises the main financial indicators used by the Group:
| (In ratios) | As of and for the half year ended 30 June |
As of and for the year ended 31 December |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |
| ROE | 7.7% | 20.2% |
| ROI | 11.1% | 36.7% |
| Adjusted ROI | 11.7% | 31.2% |
| Net Financial Indebtedness /EBITDA ratio | 0.91 | 0.81 |
Net fixed capital came to Euro 251,845 thousand, up Euro 7,090 thousand compared to Euro 244,755 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2021. This increase can be primarily attributed to higher group non-current assets compared to the end of the previous year, as well as an overall positive effect referring to the adjustment of equity investments measured at equity and at fair value for roughly Euro 765 thousand.
Net operating capital came to Euro 8,219 thousand, up by Euro 37,395 thousand compared to the value of Euro -29,176 thousand as of 31 December 2021. The change is mainly the result of the trend in net operating working capital, and is influenced in particular by: (i) an increase in the balance of the "Trade receivables" item of Euro 9,849 thousand, mainly due to the increase in turnover; (ii) a decrease in the "Trade payables" item of Euro 26,145 thousand due to payments made to suppliers due in the initial months of the current year, and (iii) an increase in the balance of "Inventories" item of Euro 2,523 thousand, due to primarily to the increase in the price of materials and transport costs. It should also be noted that: (i) the average number of days in inventory went from 92 for the year ended 31 December 2021 to 89 for the year ended 30 June 2022 (the inventory turnover ratio went from 3.9 to 4); (ii) the average days of collection of trade receivables and the turnover ratio, respectively equal to 50 and 7.2, remained the same as at the end of the previous year,
as the customer collection terms did not change; (iii) the DPO went from 146 for the year ended 31 December 2021 to 111 for the year ended 30 June 2022 (the trade payables turnover ratio went from 2.5 to 3.3).
The Net financial position was positive by Euro 46,408 thousand, down by 49,573 thousand compared to 95,981 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2021. This decrease was primarily related to the decline in cash and cash equivalents of Euro 106,729 thousand, as well as the payment of dividends. This negative effect was partially offset by an increase of Euro 32,542 thousand in current financial assets and an overall decrease in bank loans for a total of Euro 24,615 thousand.
Moreover, the group took out some committed credit lines, to support investments and cover any cash needs, which are mainly undrawn at present, as detailed below:
| (in thousands of Euro) | Cash credit lines |
Self-liquidating credit lines |
Financial credit lines |
Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| As of 30 June 2022 | ||||

| Utilisations | - | - | (28,805) | (28,805) |
| Credit lines available at 30 June 2022 | 7,382 | 17,641 | 230,839 | 255,862 |
Group equity totalled Euro 306,471 thousand, down by Euro 5,089 thousand (-1.63%) compared to Euro 311,560 thousand in the year ended 31 December 2021. This decrease was due to the distribution of dividends for a total of Euro 32,212 thousand, offset in part by the recognition of the profit of Euro 23,459 thousand for the first half of 2022.
Segment reporting
The operating segment information was prepared in accordance with IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", which requires the information to be reported consistently with the method adopted by the management when making operational decisions. The Group's approach to the market follows a unique business model that offers an integrated range of 'Wellness solutions' and also pursues higher levels of operational efficiency through cross-production.
However, for the purposes of sales analysis, company management considers the customer base, geographical area and distribution channels to be important aspects.
The type of organisation described above reflects the way that Management monitors and strategically directs the activities of the Group.
A breakdown of the Group's revenues by customer segment, geographical area and distribution channel is provided below:
| Half year ended 30 June | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands of Euro) | 2022 | 2021 | 22 vs 21 | % |
| BtoC | 83,842 | 97,216 | (13,374) | (13.8%) |
| BtoB | 241,380 | 179,038 | 62,341 | 34.8% |
| Total revenues | 325,223 | 276,255 | 48,968 | 17.7% |
Revenues as of 30 June increased significantly for the Commercial business (+34.8%), confirming the post-pandemic rebound that began to be observed already in the second half of last year. The same phenomenon underlies the natural decline in the BtoC segment (-13.8%), which recorded a slowdown especially in the European markets. It is worth noting the performance of the Hospitality & Residential segment, which was the best of the BtoB segment, taking advantage of the albeit still partial return of both business and leisure travel.
A breakdown of revenues by geographical area is provided below:
| (In thousands of Euro and percentage of total | Half year ended 30 June | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| revenues) | 2022 | 2021 | 2022 vs 2021 | % | |
| Europe (without Italy) | 150,824 | 127,848 | 22,976 | 18.0% | |
| APAC | 60,122 | 53,200 | 6,922 | 13.0% | |
| North America | 45,318 | 29,692 | 15,626 | 52.6% | |
| MEIA | 32,070 | 28,044 | 4,026 | 14.4% | |
| Italy | 29,388 | 31,535 | (2,147) | (6.8%) | |
| LATAM | 7,501 | 5,936 | 1,565 | 26.4% | |
| Total revenues | 325,223 | 276,255 | 48,968 | 17.7% |
From the geographical perspective, it is necessary to note in particular the performance of Europe and North America. In Europe (+18.0%), there has been a continued recovery of the Commercial segment, first and foremost for Clubs, making it possible to achieve significant growth in the UK, Germany, France, Benelux and Spain; Italy saw a decline for the period, although it did improve compared to the first quarter of the year, linked to the performance of the BtoC segment.
In North America (+52.6%) growth was supported by strong expansion in the Hospitality & Residential and Club segments.
Lastly, as far as APAC (+13.0%) is concerned, the growth of Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and certain markets covered by the distribution channel such as Thailand and Vietnam more than offset the performance of China, which was impacted by local restrictions aimed at containing the spread of COVID-19.
A breakdown of revenues by sales channel is provided below:
| (In thousands of Euro and percentage of total | Half year ended 30 June | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| revenues) | 2022 | 2021 | 2022 vs 2021 | % |
| Field sales | 207,301 | 159,216 | 48,085 | 30.2% |
| Wholesale | 77,822 | 68,612 | 9,210 | 13.4% |
| Inside sales | 33,500 | 42,336 | (8,836) | (20.9%) |
| Retail | 6,600 | 6,091 | 0,509 | 8.4% |
| Total revenues | 325,223 | 276,255 | 48,968 | 17.7% |
Market segment trends also reflect, as usual, the evolution of the sales channels, with the two channels most exposed to the Commercial segment, Field Sales and Wholesale, recording the most significant growth during the half-year. In particular, the growth of field sales was linked to increased productivity of the individual members of the sales force, with the sales network being the same size as in the previous year, while growth in the Wholesale channel resulted from the excellent performance of several distributors in APAC as well as in Europe and MEIA.
The retail channel posted good performance, also thanks to the contribution of the new Munich boutique, while the only channel with a decline was Inside Sales, which includes teleselling and e-commerce, as it is primarily exposed to the general performance of the BtoC segment.
Risk factors
Risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic
In the first half of 2022, the largest advanced economies reflected the epidemiological situation caused by the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus and the ensuing containment measures enacted primarily in China.
Although uncertainty remains as to the evolution of the pandemic situation, it is important to highlight that since the application of the initial restrictive policies by the various governments in 2020, the group has always been able to take advantage of market opportunities, both during an initially more restrictive phase which resulted in lockdown situations and during often spotty phases of reopening.
In the first situation, Technogym modified its approach to inventories and increased BtoC investments to meet strong market demand. Specifically, it accelerated its product research and innovation phases, with a focus on digital services, developing the Technogym App with personalised training programmes, or with the launch of Technogym Live, which makes it possible to access a significant quantity of content from anywhere. During reopening phases in the various geographical areas and in the current situation, in which users are returning to fitness centres, on the other hand, Technogym has developed solutions and equipment which can be used to support the fastest possible resumption of the BtoB and clubs channels.
Furthermore, from the health perspective, Technogym has taken all of the necessary steps to minimise health risks for its workers.
Therefore, in light of the current situation and given the flexibility demonstrated by the group, no material risks linked to the COVID-19 pandemic are expected.
Financial risks
Financial markets continued to be volatile in 2022.
In this scenario, the Group implemented policies to monitor and mitigate potential risks, while avoiding the adoption of speculative financial positions.
Credit risk
The Group has an international customer base and a network of known and trusted distributors. The Group makes use of an internally developed Risk Score Rating system integrated with data from known external data banks and these help the Group to manage requests for non-standard payment terms and take out credit insurance policies as necessary. Tight credit control allowed the Group to record contained levels of past due amounts.
Also in the first half of 2022, the Group constantly monitored the recoverability of the value of receivables on which there is a buyback obligation. On the basis of analyses of the transferred portfolio and the information available at the date on which these financial statements were drafted, the Group decided to leave the bad debt provision unchanged for the first half of the year, despite the general improvement in the portfolio and a reduction in overdue amounts.
Interest rate risks
Interest rate risk is related to the use of short and medium/long-term credit lines. Variable rate loans expose the Group to the risk of fluctuations of cash flows due to interest. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risks.
Exchange rate risk
The Group operates internationally and is therefore exposed to exchange rate risk with regard to business and financial transactions entered into in USD, GBP, AUD, BRL, RBL and Yen. The Group puts in place exchange rate risk hedges based on the ongoing assessment of market conditions and the level of net exposure to the risk, combining the use of: › "Natural hedging", i.e. a risk management strategy that pursues the objective of combining both economic-financial flows (revenues-costs, collections-payments) and balance sheet assets and liabilities that are denominated in the same foreign currency and that have a consistent time frame so as to achieve net exposures to exchange rate risk which may be hedged more effectively and efficiently;
› Derivative financial instruments, to hedge net exposures in assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency; › Derivative financial instruments used as cash flow hedges relating to highly probable future transactions (Cash Flow Hedge Highly Probable Transaction).
Liquidity risk and change in cash flows
The Group's liquidity risk is closely monitored by the parent company. In order to minimise the risk, the Group has implemented centralised treasury management with specific procedures that aim to optimise the management of financial resources and the needs of the Group companies.
Price risk
The Group purchases materials from international markets and is therefore exposed to the risk of price fluctuations. This risk is partially hedged by foreign currency forward purchase agreements with settlement dates consistent with the purchase obligations.
Risks related to supplier relations
The Group has always been committed to developing innovative, high-performance quality solutions. To continue this commitment, a close collaboration needs to be maintained with suppliers, particularly those who produce materials and technologies suitable for use in the fitness industry, even if they primarily operate in other sectors.
Technogym's supply chain is divided into suppliers who provide "bill of materials" supplies, some of which are particularly strategic to Technogym's success, including those that contribute directly to product creation, and "indirect" suppliers who provide other services or materials, as well as the equipment used in production.
The Group works closely with those suppliers considered key to the success of its products, establishing long-term relationships in order to minimise the risks related to the potential unavailability of raw materials within the required timescales.
Periodic performance checks are made, and controls carried out regarding compliance with current environmental and social regulations aimed at guaranteeing a stable supply chain. Technogym has also adopted a structured supply chain assessment process involving on-site audits and checks, which ensures continuous monitoring, and requires its suppliers to comply with the REACH and RoHS directives.
Non-financial risks
Internal risks - effectiveness of processes
The processes that characterise the different areas of the Group business are carefully positioned in a well-structured system of responsibilities and procedures. The application of these procedures ensures the correct and homogeneous development of processes over time, irrespective of personal interpretations, also making provision for mechanisms of gradual improvement.
The set of procedures for the regulation of company processes is incorporated in the Quality Assurance System and subject to certification by third parties (ISO 9001).
Within the system of processes, the procedures for the management of insider information and for human resources selection and management are regulated.
External risks - markets, country risk
Market risk is mitigated by the Group's geographically diverse operations and product diversification across market segments.
As the Group operates on an international level, it is exposed to local economic and political conditions, potential restrictions on imports and/or exports and controls over cash flows and exchange rates.
Management is also continuously monitoring the developments in the conflict in Ukraine and the resulting embargos on the Russian market. It should be noted that the Group's Ukrainian operations are all through a local distributor, and the volumes are low. On the Russian market, Technogym operates directly through its subsidiary Technogym AO, whose revenues can be quantified at approximately 2% of the Group's total revenues. Technogym has also stopped exporting to Russia and does not have a significant financial, foreign currency or commercial exposure on the Russian market.
Risks related to cyber attacks
The technological acceleration of digital transformation internally and in relation to the market, driven by the health emergency, exposes the Group to the potential risk of cyber attacks (cyber risks). In this regard, the Group has adopted a governance structure and cyber risk management model based on international standards in order to put in place the best technological solutions and choose the best partners to defend corporate assets as well as take out appropriate insurance cover.
Research, innovation and development
Product innovation has always been the Technogym Group's driver of growth. The capacity to innovate is based primarily on the expertise acquired over time by the division dedicated to product research and development, activities traditionally considered an essential tool for reaching and consolidating a leading position in the international fitness equipment market owing to the quality, innovation and design of its products.
The first half of 2022 saw the successful continuation of the circulation of Technogym Ecosystem on the market, the first and only cloud based platform in the wellness sector; it allows individual users to access their personal data and training programs and provides a complete range of (consumer and professional) apps to access their individual wellness programs, including via mobile devices. The platform makes it possible to connect final users, professional operators and Technogym products ("Wellness on the Go") in real time and in any environment, by aiming to offer, on the one hand, greater personalisation and general improvement in the wellness experience for users and, on the other, new opportunities for professional operators to widen their customer base and retain customers.
Within the Technogym Ecosystem, in the first half of 2022 TECHNOGYM launched new functions for the Technogym App, the Technogym training app, like Gym Setup, which allows users to set up their own personalised gym in the app by selecting the equipment available to them, and the Members Get Members campaign in which users can receive benefits by inviting their friends to join.
On the product front, in March Technogym launched TECHNOGYM RIDE, the Bike designed along with cycling champions to improve the athletic performance of cyclists at home and at the gym. With a 22" screen, Technogym Ride enables users to participate in an immersive indoor experience which, with just one log-in, with no installation or configuration difficulties, provides easy access to the preferred training apps and content of cyclists and fanatics alike.
In April, as part of the FIBO trade fair in Cologne, Technogym presented BIOSTRENGTH, the new strength training line that adapts to the individual user and that, thanks to patented technology that leverages artificial intelligence and scientific research, guarantees a result roughly 30% better than that achieved through classic training with equipment or free weights, without increasing training time. With a simple log-in, the user will be completely guided in the optimal performance of the exercise, setting the suitable weight, with the right range of motion, the correct posture and speed of execution and indicating the number of series and repetitions and optimal recovery times.
Medical and scientific research
A scientific approach is an integral part of TECHNOGYM's product development, and the company works with many experts in the field as well as with numerous Italian and international universities. These partnerships focus on the biomechanical and physiological analysis of products being developed, in order to certify their security and effectiveness and study the benefits for sport and health. Technogym also collaborates with professional athletes and teams to support them in biomechanical and physiological analyses. These analysis activities are carried out in the Technogym Lab, the new laboratory with spaces and technologies dedicated to physiological tests and movement analyses. During the year, a number of athletes in various sports (sailing, horseback riding, football, track and field, cycling) were tested to evaluate their performance. The Technogym Lab, equipped with the latest technologies, is also currently used to analyse Technogym products in the development process.
During 2022, scientific collaborations were consolidated in Italy with the Oncology Institute of Romagna and the University Institute of Motor Sciences in Rome for research and study projects on the effects of exercise on cancer and diabetes. Studies are being carried out with the University of Padua on the effectiveness of the strength training performed with Biostrength.
The collaboration with the 'Exercise is Medicine' initiative of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is continuing in an increasingly organised manner. At the annual convention of the American College of Sports Medicine held in San Diego, Technogym organised a symposium entitled: 'The Role of New Technologies in Exercise is Medicine'. Virtual training seminars for sector specialists were organised with ACSM. The relationship continues with Edith Cowan University in Perth (Australia), where studies are continuing on the effects of strength training in patients with prostate cancer.
Scientific research in the area continues, with publications of studies in indexed scientific journals and the participation of Scientific Department managers at national and international conferences as speakers.

In line with the "prestige" positioning that has always distinguished Technogym, in early July the company inaugurated a pop-up Technogym experience centre at Porto Cervo Waterfront, the luxury village that is home to a number of premium lifestyle brands. It is an experiential space designed to discover and live a 360° Wellness lifestyle. Every day, Technogym Master Trainers will be available for two training sessions, in the morning and the late afternoon, against the stunning backdrop of the Porto Cervo Marina.
In July 2022, Technogym submitted its expression of interest to the Organising Committee of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games to be an Official Supplier for the ninth time of the Olympic Games that will be held in the French capital in the summer of 2024.
Outlook
The first half of the year confirms the growth in the BtoB segments as already highlighted in the last quarters of last year. Individual health needs, which increased in the course of the pandemic, are supporting, along with a general resumption of pre-pandemic habits, the recovery of investments by professional operators, from Hotels to Residential contexts, from Clubs to Corporate, without overlooking the Health segment. This trend appears to be resilient in the face of recent macro events, such as the war in Ukraine, rising inflation and the introduction of more restrictive monetary policies.
In the second half of the year, the company's turnover is expected to continue on a path of double-digit growth, exploiting the unique characteristics of its business model, based not only on the broadest range of products and services in the sector, but also on the possibility of providing unique and customised training solutions, accessible on-the-go in more than 85 thousand centres all over the world, while also supporting all professional operators in the now necessary digitalisation of their offers. The unique nature of this product range as well as the continuous focus on the launch of new innovative training solutions like Biostrength will enable the company to pursue an improvement in profitability in the course of 2022 and the sustainability of its economic margins in the long term, which will be necessary to be able to continue to invest in innovation to support all of our current and future customers.

Customer segments
Fitness and Wellness Clubs [BtoB]
Fitness and Wellness Clubs continue to represent the most significant market segment in terms of sales volumes. TECHNOGYM is the trusted supplier for the most important chains of clubs in the world, such as Virgin Active in Europe, Asia and South Africa and Life Time Fitness in the United States, but it also has a strong presence in the granular business.
All over the world, people are starting to train again in fitness clubs, with an enthusiasm and speed exceeding all expectations. After the concrete recovery in 2021, the recovery of the fitness club segment continued in the first half of 2022 as well, increasingly approaching pre-pandemic levels.
The pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital solutions by operators. Today, Clubs need to guarantee increasingly more connected and personalised experiences to their end users, thus boosting their interaction with the customer base. Providing an on-the-go training service is now indispensable to maintain a high level of customer retention, while also offering the possibility of developing new paid services, such as remote training sessions.
The hybrid model has now entered the sector culture; what consumers now demand is a completely personalised experience designed ad hoc to meet their needs and goals.
Through its solutions dedicated to the various market segments and thanks to the development of digital solutions, programmes, formats and content launched over recent years, Technogym plays a pivotal role in supporting operators throughout this strong market transformation, moreover exploiting a totally integrated ecosystem that maintains a strong focus on end users and their utmost satisfaction.

In the first half of 2022, despite the natural downturn compared to 2021 linked to the recovery of physical activity in gyms, spas and hotels all over the world, home fitness turnover remained significantly above pre-pandemic levels, confirming how interest has risen for training at home even after the pandemic.
In terms of products, the company consolidated its strategy of creating bespoke solutions for the home based on the space and service level requested by the customer, including the professional Artis and Skill ranges for customers with more space who can set up their own home gym, the Personal design range for users who want to add one or two products that blend in perfectly with their home furnishings, as well as compact products such as MyRun for customers with less space.

During the first half of 2022, in continuity with the "My Responsibility" project launched in 2020, activities continued to disseminate the Technogym Leadership Model. Training was concentrated on the Management Committee through the Leadership and Winning Teams project, in order to develop, evolve and consolidate leadership capabilities. The company management and Leaders at every level of the business were trained on the matter during training and thematic workshops as well as team and individual coaching.
With a view to developing strategic company expertise, an international training plan has been devised involving elearning as well as in-person training. Specifically, training activities were focused on professional development plans to support talent growth.
The "Working 4 Wellness" (W4W) project continued. This complete programme of activities and services for employees puts health and well-being centre stage through Corporate Wellness, and the company restaurant, also making available a wide range of special offers and rates to Technogym staff and their families for healthcare, cultural and leisure services at external facilities.
In this regard, the services offered were expanded and confirmed, including a summer centre for the children of staff, managed by operators, with recreational activities overseen by specialised educators, for which Technogym made available a bonus equal to half of the weekly attendance fee.
Social responsibility, environment and safety
Technogym is known throughout the world as 'The Wellness Company' and in parallel with its business model (based on technology, software and services in support of physical activity, sports, health and prevention of illness) the Company has a strong sense of corporate social responsibility, centred on the idea of exercise as medicine and promotion of the Wellness lifestyle as an important concept and opportunity for all social actors (governments, businesses and individual citizens).
Sustainability objectives and commitments
Technogym's approach to sustainability has strong synergies with its corporate mission. Our aim is to disseminate the Wellness Lifestyle globally with a view to promoting regular physical exercise and healthy lifestyles and improving people's quality of life. Wellness, the corporate philosophy of Technogym, is key to defining our strategic objectives. It reflects our commitment to building shared value with all stakeholders.
The close correlation between business strategy and sustainability is what guides the Group in its decisions and in its actions, which are designed to meet the health needs and demands of ordinary people. The wellbeing of end users and, therefore, of the community as a whole, is central to our corporate objectives, and it starts at the product design phase. We maintain this focus throughout the production process, through to the after sales and marketing stages.
This combination of factors makes our business model unique, and fosters our strategic alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Technogym unquestionably contributes to achieving Goal 3 "Health and Wellbeing", with specific reference to Target 3.4. "By 2030, reduce by one-third premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being".
On the strength of the Group's commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues and with a view to strengthening the alignment between the SDGs and its corporate strategy, Technogym undertakes to outline clear sustainability objectives and commitments. Specifically, Technogym defined its Sustainability Policy, setting out its main sustainability priorities and laying the foundations for a path of continuous improvement in ESG performance.
The Sustainability Policy is based on three key Commitments, by 2025, which include:
› Wellness Lifestyle for All (Commitment no. 1), which underlines the opportunity to create value starting from the Group's core business
› Responsible Innovation and Design (Commitment no. 2), with a strong focus on sustainable innovation to increasingly guide choices towards the responsible management of climate change risks1 ;
› Wellness for the Community (Commitment no. 3), focused on the wellbeing of the community in which it operates and of the stakeholders that Technogym works and communicates with.
1 A point of reference is the European guidelines linked to the recommendations made by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
WELLNESS LIFESTYLE FOR ALL
For over 20 years, Technogym has been promoting wellness as a social opportunity for all stakeholders: Citizens, Companies and Governments. Using this history of culture and innovation, and in compliance with the United Nations' "Good Health and Well-being" goal, the company is determined to keep helping its stakeholders to achieve wellness by promoting sustainable lifestyles and behaviours for the wellbeing of the community through a range of products and services that use the latest technology, meet the needs of private and professional users, and reach an ever larger number of people.
RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION AND DESIGN
Our mission to contribute to building a better world, based on the health of people, cannot be separated from a strong focus on and awareness of the environment in which they live. That is why, in pursuing the UN's "Responsible consumption and production" and "Industry, innovation and infrastructure" goals, we work to create products and environments in which functionality and aesthetics can co-exist and where seeking out new green solutions, from the planning stage onwards, enables us to act responsibly while not neglecting excellence in design.
WELLNESS FOR THE COMMUNITY
Through several concrete projects, such as the Wellness Valley set up in 2003 and the Let's Move for a Better World campaign, which is now on to its seventh edition, we wish to promote the full expression and realisation of wellness as a concept, using our technologies and communication initiatives to help improve the quality of life and wellbeing of the community and the planet. We believe these factors are crucial in order to achieve the UN's goal of "Sustainable cities and communities".
Furthermore, already in 2021 and during 2022 Technogym made every effort to improve the Group's level of disclosure and commitment regarding issues related to climate change, diversity and inclusion, and a responsible business approach.
Finally, starting from 2017, Technogym has prepared a Non-Financial Statement (NFS) in accordance with the legal requirements set out in Italian Legislative Decree 254/2016. For details on its non-financial performance, refer to the Non-Financial Statement prepared in line with the Global Reporting Initiative Standards (GRI Standards). This was subjected to a limited examination by PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A., and is available on the Group's corporate website.
Exercise is Medicine
For the twelfth year running, Technogym was a global partner of 'Exercise is Medicine', an international initiative whose objectives include the promotion of physical activity as a form of medicine to be prescribed by doctors, the training of trainers to use exercise in a professional manner to treat those with chronic illnesses and informing the public opinion as to the importance of physical exercise, both for individuals and for the community at large.
Wellness Valley
The "Wellness Valley" project is promoted by the Wellness Foundation and supported by Technogym; the aim of the project is to transform the Romagna region into a centre for wellness and healthy living and improve the quality of life of its citizens, building on the economic, intellectual and cultural capital already present in Romagna, an area well known for its love of living well. In support of the initiative, Technogym has granted access to its competencies and structures and organised concrete activities as well as meetings and thematic discussions to facilitate networking among all the stakeholders in the area.
In the first half of 2022, the important projects in which Technogym is working alongside the local healthcare system continued, such as the collaboration with the PRIME Center at the Oncology Institute of Romagna, to which Technogym donated a gym.
Furthermore, Technogym hosted training days at the Technogym Village aimed at general practitioners dedicated to training on prescribing physical exercise as a medicine for the treatment and prevention of a number of chronic diseases. Indeed, thanks to this innovative project Emilia Romagna is the first Italian region to have introduced the medical prescription for physical exercise within its healthcare system.
In terms of enhancing communities, Technogym has contributed to the local "Valle del Savio – Bike Hub" project aimed at promoting the Romagna territory as a destination for bicycle tourism. In April, Technogym also sponsored the Diabetes Marathon, a large locally significant event dedicated to education on the prevention of metabolic diseases.
Technogym also collaborated with the Cesena Versari Macrelli Professional Institute, which established the innovative wellness lifestyle course of study; students were able to participate in practical sessions in the wellness centre at the Technogym Village.
Environment and safety
The environment is a fundamental element of the Wellness lifestyle, the Company's philosophy aimed at promoting sustainable socio-economic development. Environmental and ecological sustainability themes have always been central to Technogym's strategy and processes. UNI ISO 14001 and UNI EN ISO 50001 certified activities also continued in the financial year just ended, in order to achieve products and processes that are environmentally compatible in terms of renewable resources, product longevity and durability, energy efficiency and recovery, and packaging reuse.
In line with these parameters, Technogym Village was built according to bio-architecture principles and criteria aimed at protecting the environment and saving energy, which has earned the company white certificates. The company also holds certification for the ISO 45001 occupational health and safety system, for the UNI EN ISO 9001 management system for Wellness equipment design, production, installation and assistance, and UNI EN ISO 14385 certification for functional rehabilitation equipment design, production, installation and assistance.

*Please note that all exchange rates were obtained from the Bank of Italy's "exchange rate portal" website in continuity with previous years. As regards the ruble, since the exchange rate has been unavailable since the start of the Russia - Ukraine conflict, the figure provided by Bloomberg was used, which is the same as that published by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (CBR). The impact of the conversion of the reporting of Technogym AO, the Russian subsidiary, using the CBR exchange rate in any event would not be significant.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted for drafting the Condensed Half-Yearly Consolidated Financial Statements conform to those used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The economic result for the period is presented net of taxes recognised based on the best estimate of the average weighted rate expected for the entire year.
Income tax receivables and payables for current income taxes are recognised at the value that is expected to be paid to/recovered from the tax authorities, in application of the tax regulations in force or essentially approved on the date of the close of the period and the rates estimated on an annual basis.
Use of estimates
With reference to the description of the use of accounting estimates, please refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2021. It should be noted that certain valuation processes, especially the more complex ones such as the calculation of any impairment of non-current assets, are generally only carried out at the time of drafting of the annual financial statements, when all the necessary information is available, except for cases where there are indicators of impairment that call for an immediate valuation of any losses in value.
In the first half of 2022, there were no indicators or trigger events such so as to make impairment testing necessary.
Also in the first half of 2022, the Group conducted sensitivity analyses on the recoverability of the value of receivables on which there is a buyback obligation. An analysis was performed of the same sensitivity scenarios as those used as of December 2021, on the basis of which the Group decided to leave the bad debt provision unchanged for the first half of the year, despite the improvement in the portfolio and a reduction in overdue amounts.
Segment reporting
The operating segment information was prepared in accordance with IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", which requires the information to be reported consistently with the method adopted by the management when making operational decisions. The Group's approach to the market follows a unique business model that offers an integrated range of 'Wellness solutions' and also pursues higher levels of operational efficiency through cross-production.
However, for the purposes of sales analysis, company management considers the customer base, geographical area and distribution channels to be important aspects.
The type of organisation described above reflects the way that Management monitors and strategically directs the activities of the Group.
A breakdown of the Group's revenues by customer segment, geographical area and distribution channel is provided below:
| (in thousands of Euro) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 22 vs 21 | % | |
| BtoC | 83,842 | 97,216 | (13,374) | (13.8%) |
| BtoB | 241,380 | 179,038 | 62,341 | 34.8% |
| Total revenues | 325,223 | 276,255 | 48,968 | 17.7% |
Revenues as of 30 June increased significantly for the Commercial business (+34.8%), confirming the post-pandemic rebound that began to be observed already in the second half of last year. The same phenomenon underlies the natural decline in the BtoC segment (-13.8%), which recorded a slowdown especially in the European markets. It is worth noting the performance of the Hospitality & Residential segment, which was the best of the BtoB segment, taking advantage of the albeit still partial return of both business and leisure travel.
A breakdown of revenues by geographical area is provided below:
| (In thousands of Euro and percentage of total | Half year ended 30 June | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| revenues) | 2022 | 2021 | 2022 vs 2021 | % | ||
| Europe (without Italy) | 150,824 | 127,848 | 22,976 | 18.0% | ||
| APAC | 60,122 | 53,200 | 6,922 | 13.0% | ||
| North America | 45,318 | 29,692 | 15,626 | 52.6% | ||
| MEIA | 32,070 | 28,044 | 4,026 | 14.4% | ||
| Italy | 29,388 | 31,535 | (2,147) | (6.8%) | ||
| LATAM | 7,501 | 5,936 | 1,565 | 26.4% | ||
| Total revenues | 325,223 | 276,255 | 48,968 | 17.7% |
From the geographical perspective, it is necessary to note in particular the performance of Europe and North America. In Europe (+18.0%), there has been a continued recovery of the Commercial segment, first and foremost for Clubs, making it possible to achieve significant growth in the UK, Germany, France, Benelux and Spain; Italy saw a decline for the period, although it did improve compared to the first quarter of the year, linked to the performance of the BtoC segment.
In North America (+52.6%) growth was supported by strong expansion in the Hospitality & Residential and Club segments.
Lastly, as far as APAC (+13.0%) is concerned, the growth of Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and certain markets covered by the distribution channel such as Thailand and Vietnam more than offset the performance of China, which was impacted by local restrictions aimed at containing the spread of COVID-19.
A breakdown of revenues by sales channel is provided below:
| (In thousands of Euro and percentage of total revenues) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 vs 2021 | % | |
| Field sales | 207,301 | 159,216 | 48,085 | 30.2% |
| Wholesale | 77,822 | 68,612 | 9,210 | 13.4% |
| Inside sales | 33,500 | 42,336 | (8,836) | (20.9%) |
| Retail | 6,600 | 6,091 | 0,509 | 8.4% |
| Total revenues | 325,223 | 276,255 | 48,968 | 17.7% |
Market segment trends also reflect, as usual, the evolution of the sales channels, with the two channels most exposed to the Commercial segment, Field Sales and Wholesale, recording the most significant growth during the half-year. In particular, the growth of field sales was linked to increased productivity of the individual members of the sales force, with the sales network being the same size as in the previous year, while growth in the Wholesale channel resulted from the excellent performance of several distributors in APAC as well as in Europe and MEIA.
The retail channel posted good performance, also thanks to the contribution of the new Munich boutique, while the only channel with a decline was Inside Sales, which includes teleselling and e-commerce, as it is primarily exposed to the general performance of the BtoC segment.
Season-related aspects
As described in previous years, the Group's results are impacted by the typical seasonal nature of the fitness equipment market, while there were no specific season-related aspects concerning Group operations.
Unlike revenues, Group operating costs are uniformly distributed over the year. Therefore, the incidence of costs on revenues varies considerably over the quarters and, consequently, the operating profit margin changes, generally higher in the second half of the year. Consequently, the interim results do not make a uniform contribution to the results for the year and only partially represent the trend in Group activities. These aspects also determine an imbalance in terms of net financial indebtedness, which is lower at the end of the year compared to the interim figure, also based on the different requirements.
In detail, revenues in the first half of 2020 and 2021 amounted to around 44% of annual revenues, respectively, while the remaining 56% was generated in the second half of both years.
Notes to the statement of financial position
The main line items of the financial statements are presented below and, with particular reference to assets, no accounting adjustments were considered necessary, following assessments made, in addition to those already representing the current situation and context. The company may review these assessments when preparing the 2022 Financial Statements, if there are significant changes in the external context, besides those known at present or that are reasonably foreseeable.

5.4 TRADE RECEIVABLES
The item "Trade receivables" amounted to Euro 114,091 thousand on 30 June 2022 (Euro 104,242 thousand on 31 December 2021) net of the bad debt provision. The following table contains a breakdown of trade receivables as of 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021:

| Total trade receivables | 114,091 | 104,242 |
The increase in the balance of "Trade receivables" during the reporting period is mainly due to a rise in sales as well as a product mix more focused on growth in BtoB, compared to BtoC which, although it did record positive results, experienced a natural decline compared to the previous year.
Transferred trade receivables net of the relative provision equal to Euro 19,432 thousand at 30 June 2022, and Euro 15,226 thousand at 31 December 2021 refer to the current portion of receivables arising from the sale of goods which, although they are transferred to third-party financial institutions, are retained in the financial statements as they do not meet all the conditions required by IAS 9 for derecognition from assets.

As described in the section "Operating performance and comments on the economic and financial results" in the Interim Board of Directors' Report, the net financial position was also affected by seasonal trends impacting the Group.
The net financial position as of 30 June 2022, which includes the effects of adopting IFRS 16, was positive by Euro 46,408 thousand, down compared to Euro 95,981 thousand at the end of the previous year. This decrease is due to negative seasonal adjustments, with respect to cash flows, and the payment of dividends.
Short-term bank borrowings mainly include stand-by credit lines, short-term loans (generally called "hot money") and bank overdrafts.
At 30 June 2022 there are no restrictions or limitations to the use of the cash of the Group, except for minor amounts relating to specific circumstances closely linked to commercial operations of certain Group entities. Please also note that as of 30 June 2022, the cash and cash equivalents at the Russian subsidiary amount to roughly Euro 8.3 million, primarily resulting from earnings from previous years. In this regard, the Group is preparing all documentation required for the recovery of roughly Euro 5 million, which will take place in part through the distribution of dividends and in part through the payment of the debit note recorded for 2021 relating to transfer pricing adjustments. This documentation will need to be approved by the local authorities prior to the transfer to the parent company.

The table below details the income statement balances of related party transactions as of 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021:
The relationship between the Group and related parties as of and for the periods ended 30 June 2022, 31 December 2021 and 30 June 2021 are mainly commercial. Technogym Emirates LLC is a joint venture established by the Group with a company in the United Arab Emirates, in order to facilitate the distribution and sale of the Group's products and services in that region. Specifically, relations with this company are regulated by a series of agreements under which Technogym Emirates LLC has been delegated exclusive rights to distribute the Company's products in the UAE. In addition, Technogym Emirates LLC is required to respect certain conditions relating to marketing, distribution and sales and aftersales policies established by the Group. The transactions are regulated by orders issued from time to time based on an agreed product list that is updated periodically by the parties.
The figures for the companies Via Durini S.r.l and Sobeat S.r.o mainly refer to the adoption of IFRS 16 concerning property leased in favour of the group.
The relationship with One on One S.r.l. is related to collaborations aimed to implement and manage corporate wellness areas. For instance, the Group occasionally receives the support of One on One S.r.l. in order to offer a complete service to the end customers.

Remuneration of directors and key management
The total amount of compensation of the Board of Directors of the Company amounted to Euro 1,252 thousand for the half year ended 30 June 2022 (Euro 1,228 thousand for the half year ended 30 June 2021). In addition, the total amount of compensation for key management amounted to Euro 910 thousand for the half year ended 30 June 2022 (Euro 1,067 thousand for the half year ended 30 June 2021).
5.20 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As of 30 June 2022 there were no ongoing legal or tax proceedings against any Group companies and therefore, no particular provisions for risks and charges have been recognised, with the exception of the following described.
It should be noted that an assessment notice for an amount of around Euro 10 million was received in the first half of 2017 relating to the company FBK Equipamentos ltda, for alleged formal irregularities in the import customs declarations relating to years prior to 2015, also in the name of Technogym Fabricação de Equipamento de Ginástica ltda, now incorporated in BK Equipamentos ltda.
The company, assisted by its local tax advisors and lawyers, opposed the presumptions of the local administration and the first rulings against it, as it believes that it has always operated in full compliance with local tax and customs provisions. Consequently, the decision was taken not to allocate any provision, as the risk of losing the appeal procedure is not deemed likely.
5.21 COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES
As of 30 June 2022 the Company issued guarantees to credit institutions on behalf of subsidiaries for Euro 3,469 thousand (Euro 3,632 thousand as of 30 June 2021), mainly Technogym Japan and Technogym Shanghai, and on behalf of related parties for Euro 3,944 thousand (Euro 3,447 thousand as of 30 June 2021), mainly Technogym Emirates. The guarantees issued by the Group in favour of public institutions and other third parties amounted to Euro 2,443 thousand (Euro 2,162 thousand at 30 June 2021).
5.22 SIGNIFICANT NON-RECURRING EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS
In the half-year period ending on 30 June 2022, non-recurring expense of Euro 1,540 thousand was recognised, linked primarily to personnel expenses and the relative costs not associated with normal operations. As of 30 June 2021, nonrecurring income of Euro 11,128 thousand was recorded linked to the capital gain obtained on the sale of shares held in Amleto APS (Exerp Group), in addition to non-recurring expenses of Euro 812 thousand.
5.23 POSITIONS OF TRANSACTIONS ARISING FROM ATYPICAL AND/OR UNUSUAL OPERATIONS
The Group did not complete any atypical or unusual operations pursuant to Consob Communication no. DEM/6064293 of July 28, 2006.
