Operating drivers
| Metric | Prior | Current (disclosed) |
|---|---|---|

| Owned units | 1,144 | 1,407 |

| Clients in gyms | — | 4.839M |
| Net operating revenue | R$ 4,244.7M | R$ 5,580.3M (+31.5%) |
Smart Fit brand = 91.3% of 2024 revenue. Revenue mix by geography (2024):
| Region | Revenue | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Brazil | R$ 2,451.1M | 43.9% |
| Mexico | R$ 1,362.2M | 24.4% |
| Other LatAm | R$ 1,767.0M | 31.7% |
International (Mexico + other LatAm) = 56.1% of revenue. Membership fees were 89.8% of gross operating revenue; annual fees 6.0%.
Other drivers: ~24-month unit maturation to expected revenue/gross margin; "Fit" plan rollout; digital (Queima Diária ~368k subs; Smart Fit Nutri 188k; digital channel ~370k clients). Inflation, rents, labor, and energy tariffs pressured costs; price increases partially offset.

- "Adjusted" debt definitions are company-specific.
- Unit economics by cohort need more than headline totals.
- Digital subscriber counts are engagement metrics, not GAAP revenue lines alone.
