RENE MOOS, CEO BASIC-FIT

"We had a good start of the year with revenue increasing 16% year-on-year as a result of a 13% increase in memberships and a continuing increase in average revenue per member.

In France, we implemented a new management structure, in which we separated the responsibilities for expansion and the existing club network. To further improve the membership experience, we continue to invest in the quality of the clubs, including the offering of massage chairs and extending the opening hours, including 24/7 clubs, especially in large cities.

At the end of the quarter, we successfully completed the acquisition of RSG Spain, adding well over 100 thousand memberships and 47 clubs to the Basic-Fit network. We are currently exploring the options for the five Holmes Place clubs. In the coming quarters we will convert the 42 McFIT clubs to the Basic-Fit brand and integrate them into the Basic-Fit network. The acquisition strengthens our leading position in Spain, and we will continue with a high pace of expansion of our Spanish network in the coming years."

  • Definition given at CMD Nov-2023: underlying EBITDA less rent, minus maintenance capex, other capex, cash interest and cash taxes.

CLUB & MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

In the first quarter of 2024, we increased our network by 104 clubs to 1,506; we opened 60 clubs, acquired 47 RSG Spain clubs and closed 3 clubs.

In our largest market, France, we operated 814 clubs at the end of the first quarter, an increase of 33 compared to the start of the year. Over the past twelve months, our French network increased by 118 clubs.

In Spain we increased our network to 199 clubs (up 60 clubs year to date) following the successful acquisition of the 47 RSG Spain clubs at the end of the quarter. In a year's time, our Spanish network has nearly doubled in size.

In Germany, our third high growth market, we increased our network by seven clubs to 19 in the quarter.

In the Benelux countries, we increased our club network by four clubs in the quarter of which three in the Netherlands and one in Belgium. In the Netherlands and Belgium we now operate respectively 240 and 224 clubs. The number of clubs in Luxembourg is 10.

The number of memberships increased by 251 thousand to 4.05 million (FY 2023: 3.80 million). Year over year, the increase in memberships was 450 thousand (up 13%). The change in our promotional strategy in 2023, shifting to discounts instead of free weeks (that lengthen the contract period), resulted in a bit more churn in Q1. Apart from this small shift in the timing of churn, we expect a churn rate of around 4% per month for 2024. In addition, the Ramadan period, being largely in March this year, had a negative impact on the year on year membership

comparison of the first quarter. We expect that both elements will be a small tailwind for the membership development in the second quarter of 2024.

The uptake of the premium membership by joiners remained around 50%. Approximately 43% of our total membership base had a Premium membership at the end of the quarter. This includes the RSG Spain members who do not have a premium membership.

REVENUE DEVELOPMENT

Basic-Fit reported a 16% increase in revenue to €284 million over the first three months of 2024 (Q1 2023: €245 million). As the RSG Spain transaction was closed at the end of the first quarter, the RSG Group did not contribute to revenue in the period. The increase in revenue is the result of the membership growth (excluding RSG Spain) in combination with the continuing increase in the average revenue per membership per month (yield). The yield, excluding the RSG Spain acquisition, was €23.57 in the quarter compared to €22.63 in Q1 2023. The increase in the average yield is driven by the growth of the Premium membership base and the change in membership structure implemented in 2023. We continue to expect a yield of at least €24.50 for the full year 2024.

OUTLOOK

The club openings pipeline continues to be well filled. In the first four months of the year, we grew our club network, including RSG Spain, by 117 clubs. We continue to expect to end the year with around 1,575 clubs. This figure is after a potential limited number of club closures and/or disposals (Holmes Place), but excluding potential additional acquisitions.

Barring any unforeseen developments, we expect revenue to increase to between €1.20 billion and €1.25 billion in 2024. Without any major changes to the membership structure we expect a further gradual increase in average revenue per member to more than €24.50 in 2024.

For the full year we expect underlying EBITDA less rent of between €305 million and €330 million. The profitability in the second half of the year will be higher than in the first half of the year due to the large number of club openings in the first half of the year and the further increasing yield per member during the year.

We expect to generate free cash flow before new club expansion per share of between €2.60 and €2.95 compared to €2.09 in 2023, representing growth of 24% to 41%. This compares to our initial guidance of €2.90 to €3.25 as provided during our November 2023 Capital Markets Day (CMD). We maintain our 2025 and 2026 free cash flow before new club expansion guidance of €3.50 to €4.10 and €4.30 to €5.00, respectively, as provided during our CMD.

We expect our nearly one thousand mature clubs to realise a ROIC of well over 30%.
