Consolidated sales of Compagnie des Alpes up 21%

for Q1 of fiscal year 2011-2012

Update : 20/01/12 - 13h10 Published by François Mayné the 19 January 2012, Corporate.

In the first quarter of FY 2011–2012, the consolidated sales of Compagnie des Alpes came to €109.3 million, up 21% on a reported basis and 6.3% like for like.


The first quarter is the CDA Group’s slowest period of the year, accounting for only around 15% of annual sales.

Leisure parks: brisk business growth from the consolidation of Futuroscope, and momentum from key Group brands Walibi and Astérix


First-quarter sales for leisure parks reached a record €47.2 million, a substantial increase of 61% on a reported basis, boosted by the consolidation of Futuroscope (€15.5 million).

Sales growth of 13% on a like-for-like basis was also solid, helped by the excellent performance of leisure parks open during the Toussaint (All Saints) holidays (particularly the four Walibi parks) and successful Christmas-party bookings at Parc Astérix.

Total visitor numbers for all leisure parks rose 15% in the first quarter. At Walibi parks, total visitor numbers increased by 17%, not including the effect of the reopening of Aqualibi in 2011 (38% including Aqualibi), which served to strengthen the overall appeal of the Walibi brand. Meanwhile, visitor numbers at Parc Astérix grew by 15%. Futuroscope continues its steady growth trend, with a rise in visitor numbers of 3.8% for the first quarter.

Outlook 2012: positive orientation


At leisure parks, a more convenient school-holiday calendar should encourage business, which will also benefit from new attractions. Parc Astérix will see the creation of a new Egypt-themed zone, with a Bolliger & Mabillard inverted roller coaster. The park will also benefit from key events based on the Astérix brand (a new film and comic book are in preparation).

The rebranding will continue in the Walibi parks, and there will be a wider range of products on offer both inside the parks (new rides at Walibi Rhône-Alpes and Walibi Sud Ouest; and a 3D movie at Walibi Holland) and outside (publication of the first two volumes of a Walibi comic book in collaboration with Dupuis [Belgium], and the first Walibi-themed leisure space in Les Menuires, called Walibi Gliss). In addition, Futuroscope is preparing for its 25th anniversary. Many festivities are being planned for this event. 

Achievements that confirm the economic model and strategic reorientation


After closing an initial project in Montreal for the replication of the Grévin concept (opening planned for 2013), the Group should finalize a similar deal for Prague in the weeks to come.
