Under IFRS accounting rules, H1 2014/2015 turnover totalled €631.7 million (€466.4 million for the tourism businesses and €165.3 million for the property development businesses), compared with €553.8 million in H1 2013/2014 (€455.9 million for tourism and €97.9 million for property development), representing growth of 14.1%.
The turnover and financial indicators discussed hereafter stem from operating reporting, with the presentation of joint companies under proportional consolidation.
H1 2014/2015 turnover from the tourism business totalled €476.2 million, up 2.4% relative to H1 2013/2014.
Accommodation turnover rose 3.1% to €311.2 million, adjusted for a stock effect (overall impact of -2% on turnover).
Center Parcs Europe contributed €147.4 million to accommodation turnover, up 3.3%, driven by occupancy rates (+2.4%).
In Q2, growth in turnover at the Dutch, Belgian and German Domains was similar to the level seen in Q1 (turnover growth of more than 6%). These healthy performances more than offset the temporary slowdown in business at the French Domains in Q2, before the rebound noted in April and in reservations to date in May.
Note the growth in turnover from other businesses (+5.1%), which reflected both the success of the roll-out of new services at Pierre & Vacances and Center Parcs, and also the healthy performances in the development of marketing mandates, especially in Spain.
H1 2014/2015 property development turnover rose 79.9% to €174.5 million. This stemmed primarily from the contribution from Center Parcs in the Vienne region (€96 million), Pierre & Vacances Premium in Flaine (€11 million) and Center Parcs in Bostalsee (€12 million), as well as Les Seniorales (€25 million).
Turnover from property reservations to date by individual investors totalled €124.4 million, corresponding to around 100 units a month, a similar pace to that noted during the year-earlier period.
Tourism reservations for Q3 2014/2015 are currently higher than the level seen in the year-earlier period. These are benefiting notably from a recovery in business at Center Parcs in France.
Property development turnover for Q3 2014/15 is likely to be lower than in Q3 2013/2014 in line with the anticipated phasing of property programmes.
