Rene Moos, CEO Basic-Fit:
Basic-Fit had a strong first half of the year in which we delivered on the accelerated growth plans and maintained our high margins. The club EBITDA margin remained strong at 43.3% despite the large number of new club openings.
The development of add-on revenue was encouraging. Our members appreciate the additional options that we offer to optimise their fitness experience. More members now add a sports
water or PRO APP subscription to their memberships which contributed to a higher average yield per member.
The club openings pipeline remains strong with most clubs planned to be opened in France. With 47 net club openings, we are on track to open around 100 clubs this year. In 2016 and the first half of this year club openings were back-end loaded. Because of this and the many new clubs that are now ramping up memberships, we expect to benefit from operating leverage and
adjusted EBITDA growth to accelerate in the second half of 2017.
