Actic Group Q2: Organic growth despite weather conditions - continued strong PT sales
In today’s interim report, Actic Group reported a growth of 10 per cent amounting to SEK 239.5 million (216.8), mostly driven by acquisitions. The organic growth was 2 percentage points. Simultaneously, average income per member increased by 3 per cent to SEK 350 (339) per month. The growth is explained by continued favourable development of the PT business, which grew with 28 per cent during the second quarter compared to the year-earlier.
The adjusted EBITDA amounted to SEK 37.7 million (35.0), including an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.8 (16.2) per cent. Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 0 million (15.8). As a result of acquisitions, the member base increased to almost 224,000 members at the end of the period.
”In the same way as other players in the industry, the hot weather had an adverse impact on our operations, with fewer visitors and weaker new sales. Nonetheless, we reported organic growth due to expansion the German segment and continuing strong demand for personal training in the Nordics. Furthermore, our cost control and implemented efficiency enhancements are starting to have an impact at the same time as we are investing in our offering and digitalization”, says Christer Zaar, President and CEO of Actic Group.
