CLIMATE AND WEATHER CONDITIONS:

• Located at high altitudes, the Group’s ski areas enjoy favourable snow conditions. • The seasonal complementary of the Group’s two business lines reduces its sensitivity to weather conditions. The artificial snow-making programmes in the mountains reinforce this advantage. • The development of new offers bolsters summer activities in the mountains and especially autumn/winter activities in leisure parks. • Compagnie des Alpes is rolling out initiatives for new international customers and new generations. • The growing appetite for short stays is a real opportunity for leisure parks. INCREASINGLY HIGHER EXPECTATIONS OF CORPORATE RESPONSE TO CSR-RELATED ISSUES: • The Company must contribute to the creation of shared value, reconciling the economy and sustainability, as well as global issues and local challenges CHANGING CONSUMER HABITS:
