Keep provides a one-stop solution for fitness users throughout the entire fitness lifecycle, offering online fitness content, smart fitness equipment, and accompanying sports products. According to the latest Kapbook prospectus, its total revenue has achieved three consecutive years of growth, increasing from ¥1.107 billion in 2020 to ¥1.619 billion (about $20.67 million) in 2021, and further significantly growing to ¥2.212 billion (about $28.26 million) in 2022.
In addition, Keep’s previously concerned issue of losses has also seen some improvement. In 2021, due to significant marketing expenses for the push toward going public, the losses sharply expanded. However, by 2022, Keep managed to significantly narrow down its losses from ¥827 million to ¥667 million ($85,215) and reduce the loss rate from around 50% to about 30%.

In terms of revenue structure, Keep’s revenue mainly consists of three parts: sales from its own branded products, membership subscriptions and online paid content, and advertising and other sources. From 2020 to 2022, the proportion of revenue from Keep’s own branded products in the past three years was 57.5%, 54%, and 51.4% respectively.

The proportion of revenue from advertising and other sources in the past three years was 12%, 11.7%, and 8.2%. In the past, Keep has often been criticized for relying too much on consumer goods business for its revenue structure; however, with the growth in income from membership subscriptions and online paid content, its revenue structure is becoming more balanced now.
