Paris, 28 May 2025
This press release presents consolidated financial results established under IFRS accounting rules, closed by the Pierre et Vacances SA Board of Administration on 27 May 2025, the audit of which is currently being finalised by the Statutory Auditors.
"In a difficult market backdrop, the Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Group demonstrated its resilience enabled by an attractive positioning in local tourism and reflected in strong performances throughout the winter season. We continue to premiumise our accommodation and enhance our offer to provide high-quality experience-based holidays, implementing our customer-focused strategy with conviction and a strong commitment from our teams. After a first half performance hampered by calendar effects, buoyant reservation trends for the second half and strict cost management underpin our guidance to deliver a higher operating performance than last year, in line with our goal to generate lasting and profitable growth."
The Group's strategy focused on improving customer experience, enhancing the offer and fostering a service culture, is paying off. All brands enjoyed an increase in customer satisfaction scores, with +4 points for Center Parcs, +4.5 points for Pierre & Vacances, +6 points for maeva and +1 point for Adagio.
Opened in 1993, the Domaine des Hauts de Bruyères completed its ambitious renovation programme aimed at improving customer experience. After closing totally in October and November, the Domain reopened on 2 December 2024. The Group and owner/lessors invested more than €65 million in the Domain's 720 cottages and central facilities resulting in a premiumised and more experience-based offer.
3 Recognition in the first half of the 2023/2024 financial year of additional German government aid of €10.9 million for the Covid-19 pandemic.
1 Economic revenue, according to operational reporting
2 Adjusted EBITDA = current operating profit stemming from operational reporting (consolidated operating income before other non-current operating income and expense, excluding the impact of IFRS 11 and IFRS 16 accounting rules) adjusted for provisions and depreciation and amortisation of fixed operating assets. Adjusted EBITDA includes the benefit of rental savings made by Villages Nature as a result of the agreements signed in December 2022 (€10.9 million in FY 2023, €14.5 million in FY 2024, €12.4 million in FY 2025 and €4.0 million in FY 2026).
This target is based on data, assumptions and estimates considered reasonable by the Group at the date they were established. These data, assumptions and estimates are likely to change or be modified as a result of uncertainties linked in particular to the regulatory, health, economic or financial environment. The occurrence of one or more of the risks described in chapter 2 "Risk factors" of the Universal Registration Document could have an impact on the Group's businesses, financial position, results or outlook, and therefore call into question its ability to deliver its targets and forecasts. The Group therefore makes no commitment and provides no guarantee as to the achievement of the target presented.


Pierre & Vacances continued its strategic development with the opening during H1 of four residences in Spain, while new stocks were secured under asset-light arrangements in France and Southern Europe.
Maeva.com also rounded out its network of seasonal rental agencies with the acquisition of five new agencies and won market share in the open-air hospitality sector with the signing of 17 new affiliated campsites.
In order to reflect the operational reality of the Group's businesses and the readability of their performance, the Group's financial communication, in line with operational reporting as monitored by management, continues to include the results of joint ventures on a proportional basis and does not include the application of IFRS 16.
Group results are also presented according to the following operational sectors4 :
The Group's operational reporting is presented in Note 4 of the Appendix to the consolidated half-year financial statements. A reconciliation table with the primary financial statements is presented hereafter.

* estimated impact on accommodation revenue of spring school holidays and Easter weekend falling in April 2025 vs. March 2024.
First half 2024/2025 revenue was negatively impacted by the timing of public holidays and school holidays, with certain periods falling in the third quarter this year, as well as by a decline in the accommodation offer, due especially to the complete closure of the Center Parcs Les Hauts de Bruyères Domain in October and November 2024 (renovation work on central facilities).
Supplementary income8 also increased (+3.8%), benefiting especially from robust business at maeva.com.
The customer satisfaction rate continued to rise across all brands.
Accommodation revenue amounted to €583.6 million in the first half of 2024/2025, down 2.3% before adjusting for the shift in business to April, and up 0.5% compared with the first half of the previous financial year after neutralising the calendar effect.
Note that the key indicators presented in the table below have not been adjusted for the impact of this shift in revenue to the following quarter and are therefore not comparable with the prior year performance.
8 Revenue from on-site activities (catering, animation, stores, services etc.), co-ownership and multi-owner fees and management mandates, marketing margins and revenue generated by the maeva.com business line.

The decline in accommodation revenue was mainly due to a volume effect (complete closure of the Domaine Les Hauts de Bruyères for two months, in line with the renovation programme, as well as the disadvantageous calendar effect). Average letting rates rose by 2.3% (+2.6% for the Domains located in BNG9 and +2.0% for the French Domains), testifying to the Domains' premiumisation.
The decline in revenue was primarily due to aparthotels in France (-3.9%), following a reduction in the offer (withdrawal from two sites) and disadvantageous comparison with the first half of the previous year, which benefited from the Rugby World Cup in October 2023.
Revenue rose by 5.2% in other countries where the brand operates.
H1 2024/2025 supplementary income amounted to €176.6 million, up 3.8% on the first half of the previous financial year, driven by maeva.com (up 21.0% over the period), which confirmed its growth and demonstrated the strength of its hybrid model: a Europe-wide holiday distribution platform and a network of high-performance local seasonal rental agencies, particularly in the mountain regions.

10 Revenue from on-site activities (catering, animation, stores, services etc.), co-ownership and multi-owner fees and management mandates, marketing margins and revenue generated by the maeva.com business line.

H1 2024/2025 revenue from other businesses amounted to €41.9 million, down from €54.7 million in the first half of 2023/2024, confirming the Group's ongoing withdrawal from its real estate and non-strategic activities.
Revenue from other businesses is primarily made up of:
NB: The seasonal nature of the Group's business in the first half of the year leads to a structural operating loss during the period. This implies that revenue during the first half (winter season) is structurally lower than that generated during the summer season as the majority of operating costs, such as wages and rents, are linear across the year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2024/2025 stood at -€40.3 million, vs. -€21.4 million in the first half of 2023/2024. Comparison of the tourism performances with those of the previous year was affected by:
In contrast, H1 2024/2025 EBITDA benefited from an impairment write-back for property stocks at the Center Parcs Les Landes de Gascogne Domain for €12.1 million (beneficial change in interest rates and the property market).

Net financial expenses totalled €8.2 million vs. €4.2 million in H1 2023/2024 (the figures are not comparable as the yearearlier period included non-recurring financial income). The cost of gross debt was lower in view of the refinancing of the Group's debt undertaken in July 2024 (redemption of debt reinstated in 2022 and roll-out of a revolving credit facility).
Other net operational expenses represented €13.2 million in H1 2024/2025 (vs. €14.9 million in H1 2023/2024), primarily including:
Tax expenses amounted to €6.2 million in H1 2024/2025, stemming primarily from a tax expense due in the Netherlands.
The Group net loss stood at €102.0 million vs. €82.4 million in H1 2023/2024, affected by the disadvantageous calendar effect.

The seasonal nature of the tourism businesses causes structural cash burn during the first half of the year.


Gross financial debt on 31 March 2025 (€136.6 million) therefore corresponded mainly to:
The amount of debt related to assets held under finance leases corresponds mainly to the adjustment for finance leases concerning the central facilities at the Center Parcs Le Lac d'Ailette Domain.
The agreement governing the revolving credit facility put in place when the Group's debt was refinanced on 23 July 2024 requires compliance with four financial ratios: the first compares the Group's debt with adjusted EBITDA, the second compares the Group's debt plus five times the value of owner rents with adjusted EBITDAR11, the third verifies a minimum liquidity level and the last verifies a maximum capex per year. As of 31 March 2025, these covenants were respected.
In view of tourism reservations to date for the second half of the year (representing 70% of the target, with 50% in Q4), the Group is currently expecting growth in its full-year performance with adjusted EBITDA set to exceed €180 million over the year, testifying to the Group's resilience in a difficult geopolitical context.
The Center Parcs Villages Nature Paris Domain is extending its offer with 193 premium and VIP cottages (108 new VIP cottages open since 7 May and 85 Premium cottages delivered in early July). This is a key step in the Domain's development and is part of Center Parcs' premiumisation strategy aiming to enhance customer experience.
Center Parcs is preparing to take a major step forward with the opening on 20 June 2025 of its 30th Domain, the Center Parcs Nordborg Resort, its very first site in Scandinavia. Located on the Als island, the Domain spans 190 hectares and offers 440 cottages integrated into natural surroundings with views over forest land or the Baltic Sea. After the Terhills Resort Center Parcs Domain in Belgium and the Parc Sandur Domain in the Netherlands, this will be the brand's third Domain operated under a management mandate.
11 Adjusted EBITDAR = adjusted EBITDA restated for owner rents

The Group's financial communication is in line with operational reporting, which is more representative of the performances and economic reality of the contribution of each of the Group's businesses i.e.:

Group revenue under IFRS accounting totalled €765.1 million, down 1.7% relative to the year-earlier period due to a disadvantageous calendar effect (shift of revenue to second half).
The Group net loss amounted to €117.0 million. After EBITDA of €151.7 million, the figure included depreciation, amortisation and provisions expenses of €166.1 million and financial expenses of €97.1 million.
