“Viva Leisure performed very well over March and April, achieving an average monthly revenue run rate of $9.5 million supported by an increase of about 5,000 corporate members. This momentum is accelerating as we build on our record level of 150,000 corporate members.

 “We achieved $10 million average monthly run rate in May, one month earlier than previously expected, and are aiming for a 20% margin milestone in June. With three clubs in Western Australia still to complete and increasing yield as our clubs return towards optimum capacity thanks to the trust and rapport we have with our customer base.

“We have continued the rollout of our growth strategy, entering the Western Australian market with five Plus Fitness acquisitions. Along with an additional three acquisitions expected to settle in June, this cements Viva’s position as Australia’s second largest operator in the Australian health and leisure industry, and the only one that operates in all four segments of the fitness industry”
