5 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Analysis of consolidated results and sectors
5.1.2 HOLDINGS AND SUPPORTS
The Holdings and supports business includes the consulting activities carried out by CDA Management and CDA Beijing, the online distribution activities and the legacy real estate agencies of CDA (in particular Alpes Ski Résa) previously consolidated in the Ski areas business unit, as well as those of Travelfactory. Holdings and supports revenue came to €23.4 million, versus €29.5 million the previous fiscal year. This decrease is mainly due, for
Travelfactory, to the early closure of the ski areas from mid-March and to the lockdown measures. This year, Travelski continued its international development with, in particular, the acquisition of a Dutch tour operator, Snowtime. The consulting business performed well, thanks in particular to a contract in China.
5.1.2.1 Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to €93.8 million, down -59.1% on a comparable scope basis and -59.6% on an actual scope basis, due to the contribution of Familypark acquired on the 20 March 2019.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a very significant impact on the Group’s operating results. It resulted in the implementation of savings plans, the taking of holidays and the use of partial unemployment benefits for the permanent and seasonal staff of our open sites, as well as for the staff of the Holdings and supports functions.
On the other hand, the digital projects, considered fundamental for the Group and the business resumption after the crisis, were maintained and are continuing. The Group also maintained the payment in March 2020 of an activity bonus of €2.7 million (compared with €2.4 million the previous year).
