Evolt 360 completes $12 million capital raise to meet strong order pipeline

October 17, 2022

Evolt 360, the Australian developer of a proprietary body composition scanning technology, has successfully completed a $12 million capital raising to meet its strong order pipeline.

The raise, led by Bell Potter Securities, was backed by leading investors Regal Funds Management, Washington H Soul Pattinson and family office Smarter Capital.

With the Gold Coast-based company experiencing strong growth in demand for the leading body composition scanner and software solution, the funds will be used to significantly increase manufacturing and to fulfil existing enterprise contracts.

Gaining broad acceptance from the world’s leading gym and fitness brands and with currently installed in 35 countries, Evolt 360 has demonstrated both proven export capability and strong scalability.

The Evolt 360, an FDA / TGA / CE medically approved device, uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to deliver users a reliable in-depth report capturing over 40 different body composition measurements. This simple to understand data allows a user to track detailed changes in their body composition and monitor the impact of their nutrition, exercise and fitness levels towards the achievement of personal health and wellbeing goals. The Evolt 360’s measurements include breakdown of total weight, lean muscle mass, body fat including both subcutaneous and visceral fat, skeletal mass and fluids.

Evolt provides its clients with a cloud-based software solution ‘Evolt Insights’ that enables detailed analytics of the member base and facilitates challenge-based programs that use before and after scanning to show progress made over the period and is a powerful membership engagement tool to support and motivate their customer base.

Additionally, each user is required to download the Evolt Active App which stores the users individual scan results and allows them to track their progress and body composition measurements. The app also supports direct engagement for both education, diet and calorie/macronutrient profiling to better understand and track health & wellness goals.

The business has seen tremendous growth since the reopening of the fitness industry after shutdowns experienced due to Covid-19 and during the current financial year is experiencing 125% growth in revenue while installing the Evolt 360 in 1300 new sites.

This represents 160% growth on the prior year, performing more than 850,000 scans and with over one million registered users, across 35 countries.

Future growth is underpinned by a roll-out to significant global enterprise customers including Anytime Fitness, chemist and vitamin store chains and with health insurers like HCF who implement the Evolt 360 with its corporate health customers throughout Australia.

The company also has sold their solution direct to support corporate customers in global mining companies, leading international medical universities and allied health professionals.

Explaining that the global market for the Evolt solution is enormous, Chief Executive, Ed Zouroudis (pictured) stated “from gyms to health insurers, retail outlets such as chemists, vitamin and supplement stores and more recently to medical general practices, medical specialists who focus on obesity, diabetes and age-related degenerative conditions, we provide valuable data and analysis across multiple verticals.

“The gym industry alone was worth $97 billion in 2021, with an estimated 250,000 sites, and we solve the biggest problems gyms have at the moment, which is lowering the churn of memberships, increasing engagement and identifying the most valuable metric in their business, the health status of their members. This health status can accurately quantify the impact of a particular program to help members achieve their desired goals.

“Our tech also provides nutritional and supplement programs that can add a significant revenue stream to our partners.”

Evolt 360 was founded in 2015 by Zouroudis, who has a background in fitness industry and as a sports promoter, along with wellness consultant Kelly Weideman.

Former Virgin Group and Wesfarmers executive David Baxby leads its advisory board.

Seeing such good support for the recent raise was particularly pleasing and provided strong validation for the company’s market opportunity and strategy, Zouroudis added “it’s fantastic that we’ve been backed by a number of Australia’s best known institutional investors - it’s a huge testament to the scale of the opportunity we address and we are very grateful for their support.

“It is unbelievable to me that some gyms still only offer a set of scales … when the Evolt solution offers their members so much more valuable information. We have assembled an incredible team that shares our passion to support people in achieving their health and fitness goals. Every day I get a kick out of seeing our gym partners share the results achieved by their members on our Instagram. The transformations are just amazing and that motivates us to keep on delivering enhancements to our technology to support their goals.”
