Basic-Fit (BFIT/BSFFF), Europe's largest gym operator, offers strong growth, founder-led management, and trades at a deep discount to Planet Fitness (PLNT). BFIT is expanding rapidly, introducing a franchise model, and boasts higher member retention and lower leverage than PLNT, supporting its investment appeal. Key risks include pandemic-related closures in Europe and execution of the new franchise model, but BFIT's financial discipline and growth strategy mitigate concerns.

Basic-Fit N.V. (OTCPK:BSFFF) H1 2025 Earnings Call July 29, 2025 8:00 AM ET Company Participants Maurice de Kleer - CFO & Member of Management Board René M.
Investor sentiment toward Basic-Fit is poised for a major positive shift, which should lead to a period of increased profitability, upside to consensus forecasts, and a higher multiple. Our primary research suggests a high likelihood of a French government regulation change to allow gyms to operate 24/7, which will reduce temporary costs, drive increased memberships and club profitability. We believe Basic-Fit is entering a beat & raise phase relative to its financial performance, and FY26 consensus is too low by 15%-20%.
Basic-Fit's Q1 update shows revenue of €332 million (17% YOY) and 10% membership growth, with 41 new clubs opened, reaffirming 2025 guidance. Growth deceleration and increased maintenance capex in French stores raise concerns about market saturation and margin pressures, despite BSFFF management's cost control efforts. The new three-tier membership structure increased average revenue per member by 2.9%, with no margin squeeze, maintaining a 24-27% EBITDA margin.
Basic-Fit N.V.

Basic-Fit shows solid growth with a 17% revenue increase and 168 new clubs, but market response remains muted due to lack of dramatic upside. Challenges in France persist, impacting overall performance, despite management's strategic initiatives and restructuring efforts. New international franchise strategy aims for capital-efficient growth outside Europe, leveraging technology and operational strengths.
Basic-Fit N.V. (OTCPK:BSFFF) Q3 2024 Sales Call October 18, 2024 4:00 AM ET Company Participants Richard Piekaar - Head of Investor Relations Rene Moos - Chief Executive Officer Hans van der Aar - Chief Financial Officer Conference Call Participants Robert Jan Vos - ABN AMRO Natasha Brilliant - UBS Chandni Hirani - Barclays Capital, Inc.

Basic-Fit achieved a 17% increase in revenue in H1 2024, reaching $620.10 million, while opening 135 new clubs to reach a total of 1,537 locations. The company's average revenue per member rose to $25.23, driven by 43% of members upgrading to premium plans, boosting underlying EBITDA less rent by 26% to $147.34 million. Despite its strong expansion, challenges remain, including slower membership growth in France and a decline in average membership at mature clubs to 3,175 members.
Basic-Fit is Europe's leading fitness chain, generating strong free cash flow despite significant growth CAPEX, making it an undervalued stock for long-term investors. The company leverages its size for competitive advantages, including economies of scale, superior supplier contracts, and efficient expansion strategies using data analysis and AI. Basic-Fit's operating leverage allows it to achieve high ROIC and EBITDA margins, with significant free cash flow generation even after accounting for maintenance CAPEX.
