Vitaliano Borromeo Arese Borromeo, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kaleon, commented: "The results for the first half of 2026 confirm the strength of Kaleon's business model and the growth trajectory the Group has embarked upon. Our increasingly diversified offering, with its strong focus on delivering a high -quality visitor experience, demonstrates the Group's ability to enhance and unlock the value of its cul tural and natural heritage assets. This commitment to quality also provides a solid foundation for pursuing new growth opportunities and expanding our portfolio of third -party assets under management, as evidenced by the recent addition of Vogogna Castle.
The 14% increase in consolidated revenue was driven by growth across all our core business lines, with particularly strong performances in the Food & Beverage and Retail segments, both of which contributed to higher average visitor spending during the firs t half of the year. At the same time, all our key destinations delivered positive year -
on-year performance, with Isola Bella continuing to serve as our primary growth driver and the Castles of Cannero making an increasingly meaningful contribution following their full integration into our portfolio.
We will continue to invest in the development of our destinations, service innovation and operational efficiency, with the objective of creating sustainable long -term value for all our stakeholders".
