Paris, July 28, 2026 – 5:40 pm – (Unaudited figures) During the first nine months of financial year 2025/26, Compagnie des Alpes reported sales of €1,155.5 million, representing a 2.6% increase compared with the same period of the previous financial year. On a comparables basis1, excluding the contributions from the Belantis leisure park through the end of March, the Pralognan-la-Vanoise ski area, and the Sport4Lux sports center, as well as the impact of the disposal of the Chaplin’s World site, sales growth was 2.0%.
This performance reflects contrasting trends across the divisions: an excellent winter season for Ski Areas and Outdoor Activities; growth in the Distribution & Hospitality division, excluding the impact of the closure of a residence due to a fire; and a very slight decline for the Leisure Parks division, which was impacted by extremely adverse weather conditions in the third quarter.
Sales for the third quarter of financial year 2025/26 rose to €272.8 million, compared with €276.5 million during the same period of the previous financial year, down 1.4% on an actual basis and 1.1% on a comparable basis2.

For the first nine months of financial year 2025/26, sales for the Ski Areas and Outdoor Activities division totaled €617.0 million, up 5.7% compared with the first nine months of the previous financial year. On a comparable basis, excluding the impact of the acquisition of the Pralognan-la-Vanoise ski area, this increase was 4.8%.
Sales from ski lifts, which account for approximately 95% of the division’s total sales, rose by 4.4% on a comparable basis. This growth is driven by a 0.9% increase in the number of skier-days (+2.3% including Pralognan-la-Vanoise) and a further 3.5% increase in average sales per skier-day.
Third-quarter sales for the division totaled €64.6 million, an increase of 8.8% (+8.4% on a comparable basis). Once again, supported by excellent snow and weather conditions through the close of the season, end of the season continued to show strong demand from skiers.
Distribution & Hospitality sales totaled €110.4 million for the first nine months of financial year 2025/26, down 1.4% compared with the same period of the previous financial year. In the third quarter, sales amounted to €9.2 million, compared with €9.6 million in the third quarter of the previous financial year, representing a 4.3% decrease.
Excluding the impact of the closure of an MMV residence in La Plagne following the fire on April 9, 2025, the division would have delivered 4.7% sales growth over the first nine months of the financial year. The operating losses resulting from the closure of the affected residence are covered by an insurance indemnity, which has been recognized in the division’s EBITDA.
During the first nine months of the financial year, MMV saw growth in its business and benefited from the opening in December 2025 of a new residence in Serre Chevalier.
Mountain Collection Immobilier, a network of real estate agencies, saw a slight increase in sales during the first nine months of the financial year, driven primarily by its property management business.
Travelfactory’s sales declined, reflecting the Group’s strategic shift in its business model toward more profitable activities, even at the expense of lower sales. This transformation has had a positive impact on margins and EBITDA. Building on the success of the overnight train service between Paris and Bourg-Saint‑Maurice, the company has not only decided to renew the initiative for the upcoming season, but has also launched a similar overnight rail service from Amsterdam to Les Arcs Bourg-Saint-Maurice, serving Rotterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Moûtiers, and Aime-la-Plagne along the route.
Sales for Leisure Parks totaled €428.1 million for the first nine months of financial year 2025/26, compared with €430.3 million in the same period of the previous financial year, representing a slight decline of 0.5%. On a comparable basis, i.e., excluding the contribution from Belantis sites through the end of March 2026, Sport4Lux since November 2025, and the revenue generated by Chaplin’s World in Q3 FY 2024/25, sales were down 0.8%.
Following a first half marked by the success of the Halloween and Christmas periods, Leisure Parks sales reached €198.9 million in the third quarter of financial year 2025/26 alone, representing a 4.1% decline (3.7% on a comparable basis) compared with the third quarter of the previous financial year, which benefited from an exceptionally high comparison base. Beyond this base effect, the decline was driven by the combination of highly adverse weather conditions (heavy rainfall in May and heatwaves in June) and a challenging geopolitical environment.
Sales from ticketing and in-park spending (which represents approximately 80% of the division’s sales) declined by 1.6% on a comparable basis over the first nine months of the financial year. After attendance declined by 1.8% in the first half, visitor numbers were further impacted by the combination of unusually cold and rainy weather in May, followed by severe heatwaves at the end of May and in June. As a result, attendance decreased by 3.7% over the first nine months of the financial year compared with the record level achieved in the same period of the previous financial year. At the same time, average spending per visitor remained positive throughout the financial year, increasing by 2.0% over the first nine months compared with the same period of the previous year. This increase was slightly more pronounced for in‑park spending than for ticket sales.
Other revenue streams within the Leisure Parks division were significantly more dynamic, particularly hotel‑related sales, supported by high occupancy rates, as well as B2B event activities.
However, Compagnie des Alpes’ ongoing efforts to continuously enhance the appeal of its sites have helped mitigate the negative impact of the aforementioned external factors and maintain high levels of visitor satisfaction. The highly positive reception of all new attractions and experiences launched across the parks this season attests to the success of these efforts.
The new Idéfix area at Belantis, for example, has been a major success since it opened. Walibi Rhône-Alpes’ new “RepaR’TaKar” attraction received a 9/10 rating and was immediately ranked among the park’s top five attractions. The new “One Piece” area at Grévin Paris has enabled visitor spending per guest to double since it opened. Meanwhile, Futuroscope’s Aquascope water park, inaugurated less than two years ago, recently welcomed its one millionth visitor.
The Urban Group’s sales increased over the first nine months of the financial year, although heatwave episodes had an adverse impact in the third quarter. During Q3, Urban also benefited from the opening of a Club House and the first phase of padel court coverage on the Île de Puteaux, the opening of a new center in Lille featuring nine padel courts, the launch of a 350 sq. m. SportBar area at its La Défense center, as well as the introduction of its new Urban Xpérience concept — the first immersive five-a-side soccer field, featuring 600 sq. m. of projected images across the walls of the indoor field.
This outlook is subject to major economic contingencies.
This outlook is subject to the absence of any major adverse macroeconomic or geopolitical developments and assumes no changes in the Group’s scope of consolidation other than those already anticipated (the contribution of Belantis and Pralognan-la-Vanoise, the disposal of Chaplin’s World, and the expiration of the Tignes public service concession).
The medium-term objectives that the Group announced in December 2025 remain unchanged:
The Group reaffirms its target of achieving EBITDA of at least €500 million or more in FY 2027/28 or FY 2028/29, while sustaining an EBITDA margin consistently above 30% from 2028/29 onward, supported by the continuation of its profitable growth trajectory.
Based on its current scope of consolidation, the Group expects net industrial capital expenditures to remain at approximately 20% of revenue in FY 2026/27. Thereafter, as the planned investment cycle, particularly at Parc Astérix, Belantis, and Futuroscope, is completed, net industrial capex is expected to decline and stabilize at around 16% of revenue from FY 2028/29 onward.
The Group also targets a financial leverage ratio (net debt / EBO excluding IFRS 16) of between 2x and 3x over the period, while retaining capacity for potential acquisitions.
Compagnie des Alpes also reaffirms its commitment to pay its shareholders an annual dividend of approximately 50% of the Group’s net income, excluding non-recurring items.
Lastly, Compagnie des Alpes reaffirms its commitment to achieving Net Zero Carbon for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. This ambition is being implemented at each site level, with at least 80% of the roadmap relying on actual greenhouse gas emissions reductions and a maximum of 20% on the deployment of local carbon sinks.
In response to the increasing frequency and intensity of climate-related risks (rising temperatures, flooding, extreme weather events, etc.), Compagnie des Alpes is continuously strengthening the resilience of its business model while accelerating its adaptation strategy. Supported by a robust decarbonization pathway (-74% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions between FY 2018/19 and FY 2024/25, together with targeted actions on Scope 3 emissions), the Group now covers 100% of its sales with an initial comprehensive climate risk assessment. Depending on site characteristics, this approach is further enhanced through vulnerability assessments focusing on specific material risks, together with the implementation of tailored action plans.
In order to tackle climate change and enhance the visitor experience, the Group is accelerating the transformation of its outdoor parks (cooling oases, greening, misting zones, water attractions, flexible opening hours, covered areas) and its indoor sports facilities, whilst implementing three priority action plans:
From 2028 onwards, all these measures will be incorporated into the sites’ capital expenditure plans and will contribute to an even higher level of customer experience and satisfaction by 2030.
By taking a proactive approach to climate challenges through the levers within its control, the Group reaffirms its ability to combine environmental responsibility, a world-class customer experience and the creation of financial value through sustainable growth
