Germany and Austria add 26 clubs

The deal covers 18 Speedfit clubs in Austria and eight Kraftwerk clubs in Germany. Basic-Fit said the acquisitions would lift its owned Austrian network from 33 to 51 clubs and its German network from 114 to 122 clubs, with closing expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The purchase price is financed from existing cash resources, and management reiterated a 2026 net debt leverage ratio of just over 2.00 times. The transaction therefore adds locations and members while keeping the stated leverage framework intact.

The operating figures show why the acquisition strategy matters for the stock. Revenue grew by 18.00 percent, but underlying EBITDA less rent grew twice as fast at 36.00 percent, indicating stronger operating leverage in the first half of 2026.
