Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs: Third Quarter 2022/2023 Revenue

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs (Paris:VAC):

- Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs continued to grow during Q3 2022/2023, posting an increase in revenue¹ from the tourism businesses of almost 12% relative to the year-earlier period.

After a particularly robust first half performance, benefiting from the rebound in the tourism sector, revenue from the tourism businesses was up 16.7% over the first nine months of the year, outperforming the Group’s targets as well as pre-crisis levels (+29%), and bringing the Group’s revenue to €1,274 million.

- In view of the portfolio of reservations to date for the fourth quarter as well as the strict execution of the ReInvention strategic plan, the Group confirms its financial guidance for 2022/2023, revised upwards on 18 April, with:

→ Revenue from the tourism businesses of more than €1,700 million,
→ Adjusted EBITDA² of more than €130 million,
→ Operating cash flow³ generation of more than €50 million.

Franck Gervais, CEO of Pierre & Vacances - Center Parcs, stated:

“With revenue growth of almost 12% in our tourism businesses, the robust Q3 operational performances confirmed the rebound noted in the first half of the year, as well as the success of our strategic positioning towards local tourism and the premiumisation of our offer. Fourth quarter revenue is also expected to rise, despite comparison with a particularly strong summer 2022 performance. We have already recorded reservations corresponding to more than 95% of the full-year revenue target, making it very likely that we will reach our full-year guidance, which was revised upwards last April, driven by the faster than expected benefits of the ReInvention plan. Strengthened by these performances, we remain vigilant and focused on cost control and are approaching the next stages of our strategic plan with confidence”.

Revenue from the tourism businesses

The Group posted revenue growth of almost 12% during the third quarter of the year, after a first half up 20%, notably driven by a context of “revenge tourism” post-Covid. Over the first nine months of the year, revenue from the tourism businesses totalled €1,133.4 million, up 16.7% relative to the year-earlier period.

Accommodation revenue

Accommodation revenue totalled €339.6 million in Q3 2022/2023 up 13.6% relative to Q3 of the previous year, driven by a rise in average letting rates (+10.5%) and the number of nights sold (+2.8%).

Revenue was up across all brands:

- Center Parcs: +13.4%

Growth was driven by average letting rates (+7.5%) and the number of nights sold (+5.5%), benefiting from both:

- the French domains: +25.1%, and +10.9% adjusted for the impact of the 100% integration of the Villages Nature scope as of 15 December 2022 (vs. 50% previously).

- the Domains located in BNG⁵: +7.6%, of which +12.6% in the Netherlands, +8.9% in Belgium and +1.3% in Germany.

The occupancy rate was virtually stable (-0.5 points) at 77.2% over the period.

- Pierre & Vacances: +5.2%

Growth in revenue was driven by the rise in average letting rates (+2,8%) and the number of nights sold (+2.4%).

- Revenue from the residences in France was virtually stable (-0.8%), in the context of a reduction⁶ in the stock operated by lease (-6.4% of nights offered relative to Q3 of the previous year). On a constant stock basis, revenue was up (RevPar⁷ up 6.0%).

- Revenue from residences in Spain surged 24.7%, primarily driven by volume effects (+25.1% of nights sold).

The occupancy rate was up slightly (+0.4 points) at 67.0% over the period.

- Adagio: +24.1%

Growth in Adagio revenue remained very buoyant, driven by the rise in average letting rates (+27.4%).

The occupancy rate was down by 2.2 points to 77.4% over the period.

In all, over the first nine months of the year, accommodation revenue totalled €889.7 million, up 17.7% relative to the year-earlier period.

Supplementary income⁸:

Q3 supplementary income totalled €89.1 million, up 5.9% relative to Q3 of the previous year, driven by growth in onsite sales (+9.4%). Over the first nine months of the year, supplementary income totalled €243.7 million, up 13.3%.

Other revenue:

Q3 2022/2023 revenue from other business totalled €36.5 million compared with €63.1 million in Q3 2021/2022 (decline with no significant impact on EBITDA), primarily made up of:

- renovation operations at Center Parcs domains on behalf of owner-lessors, for €18.2 million (compared with €32.9 million in Q3 2021/2022).

- Les Seniorales for €13.8 million (vs. €14.7 million in Q3 2021/2022);

- the Major Projects division for €4.0 million compared with €14.1 million in Q3 2021/2022 (of which €9.2 million related to the Center Parcs domain Landes de Gascogne).

In all, over the first nine months of the year, revenue from other business totalled €140.6 million, down 26.2% relative to the year-earlier period.

2] Outlook

Operating performances expected for the fourth quarter of the year

In view of the portfolio of reservations to date, the Group is currently expecting growth in revenue in Q4 2022/2023 compared with Q4 2021/2022. This growth will be less extensive than that seen over the first nine months of the year given the historically high base provided by the summer of 2022, which was particularly robust.

All brands are set to contribute to the rise in revenue, driven by the increase in average letting rates.

Confirmation of financial guidance for 2022/2023

The Group confirms its guidance for FY 2022/2023, revised upwards on 18 April 2023, with:

- Revenue from the tourism businesses of more than €1,700 million.

- Group adjusted EBITDA of more than €130 million.

- Operating cash flow generation of more than €50 million.

3] Reconciliation table between revenue stemming from operational reporting and revenue under IFRS accounting.

Under IFRS accounting, Q3 2022/2023 revenue totalled €429.8 million (with nine-month revenue at €1,171.6 million), compared with €401.5 million in Q3 2021/2022 (and €1,038.2 million over nine months of the previous year). This growth was visible for all brands and stemmed from both the rise in average letting rates and growth in the number of nights sold.

IFRS11 adjustments: for its operating reporting, the Group continues to integrate joint operations under the proportional integration method, considering that this presentation is a better reflection of its performance. In contrast, joint ventures are consolidated under equity associates in the consolidated IFRS accounts.

Impact of IFRS16: The application of IFRS16 as of 1 October 2019 leads to the cancellation, in the financial statements, of a share of revenue and the capital gain for disposals undertaken under the framework of property operations with third-parties (given the Group’s leasing contracts). See above for the impact on revenue.
