Negative

Despite the strong expansion, there was a slight decrease in gross margin, attributed to increased costs of units in ramp-up and expenses related to new openings.
The company faces challenges in maintaining its margin due to the accelerated pace of expansion, which could lead to temporary margin compression.
Smartfit's net income was impacted by higher income tax and social contribution rates, resulting in a 13% decrease compared to the previous quarter.
The company anticipates a big challenge in delivering its guidance of at least 100 new units by the end of the year, requiring rapid execution.
There is a potential risk associated with the company's high level of investment in new units, which may not yield immediate returns.
