1. System-wide revenue represents the total of all revenue made by both non-consolidated and consolidated locations globally
2. Before the application of IFRS 16 (primarily relating to operating leases) as defined in the Alternative performance measures section of the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts
Momentum in quarterly revenue
System-wide revenue increased by 8% year-on-year to GBP830m in the quarter driven by continued global demand for hybrid working solutions. Group revenue increased by 7% to GBP736m illustrating the benefit of network growth, pricing strength, and ancillary services. As anticipated, FX was a headwind for the Group during Q3 2023, which has adversely affected revenue numbers on an actual FX basis.
Continued momentum in capital-light operating model
The business continues to sign new locations on a capital-light basis, meaning the Group will have less capital-intensive exposure and lower operational leverage. The momentum which was evident in H1 has continued with 200 new capital-light centres signed in Q3 and 582 signed year-to-date. This adds to an already healthy pipeline of centres signed but not yet opened. As previously guided, capital-light centres take on average 10 months to open and a further 18 months to reach revenue maturity. Additionally, 212 centres which were signed up under the capital-light model have opened during 2023 (consisting of managed, franchised and variable rent centres).
Worka
Worka continues to perform in line with management's expectations. To ensure Worka fully captures the value chain from the structural growth market of hybrid working. Worka continues to invest and develop the platform adding new services and geographies to its operations. The company continues to generate attractive cash flows. Worka has excellent potential for the future.
Continuing the reduction of net financial debt
Revenue growth, coupled with ongoing cost discipline, has resulted in net financial debt reduction of GBP24m in the quarter to GBP634m.

Capital Markets Day
To help the market better understand our business model, IWG will be hosting a Capital Markets Day on 5th December 2023 in New York City. Details of the event can be found using this link .
Mark Dixon, Chief Executive of IWG plc, said:
"The structural growth in hybrid working, combined with our market position, has resulted in continued revenue momentum in the third quarter of 2023. Our capital-light growth strategy is continuing to deliver with around 40% more locations already signed in 2023 than in the whole of 2022. Our revenue growth and cost control are driving cash flow enabling us to continue to pay down debt."
Outlook and guidance
The increasing demand for hybrid and flexible working solutions continues to provide growth opportunities for the Group. In particular, the market has facilitated acceleration of the growth plans for our capital-light segment. Our active management of costs, including those associated with supporting this accelerated growth, has enabled us to maintain our strong financial performance this year.
We confirm our financial outlook for 2023 and remain confident that both EBITDA(2) and year-end net financial debt(2) will remain in-line with management's expectations.
Further to the announcement regarding functional currency and accounting standards consideration, IWG will report full-year 2023 results in GBP with plans to convert to USD with effect from 1st January 2024. Adopting US GAAP remains under evaluation, with a decision to be taken during H1 2024.
