RSG Spain acquired by BASIC-FIT

SPAIN Hospitality & Leisure / Leisure Facilities REV 25M - 50M EUR

Context

In December 2023, Basic-Fit entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of RSG Spain from RSG Group GmbH, led by CEO Dr. Jobst Müller-Trimbusch, marking the seller's strategic exit from the Iberian Peninsula. The transaction adds €39M in revenue and consolidates Basic-Fit’s footprint in Southern Europe. To finance the deal, Basic-Fit secured an additional €110 million revolving credit facility (accordion facility) from its banking syndicate to fund the cash consideration, restructuring costs, and club refurbishments. Operationally, Basic-Fit plans to rebrand all acquired clubs under the Basic-Fit banner by year-end 2024 while rolling out its proprietary IT and member management systems. Management expects the transaction to be immediately accretive to underlying earnings in year one, targeting a return on invested capital (ROIC) of at least 30% by 2026. The acquisition accelerates a local clustering strategy—notably in Barcelona, where its footprint expands from two to nine clubs to strengthen local market share. The transaction is subject to customary antitrust clearance from Spanish competition authorities, with closing expected in Q1 2024.
