Compagnie des Alpes // 2021 Universal Registration Document
SOLID FUNDAMENTALS AND FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE
Compagnie des Alpes’ model and financial discipline enabled it to weather the crisis and maintain the course of its strategic priorities.
MAINTAINING STRATEGIC CAPACITY DESPITE THE CRISIS
Diversified leader in the tourism and leisure industry
Management of the financial impacts of the crisis on operations For the 2020/2021 financial year, the Group’s rigorous financial management, the decrease in operating expenses and partial unemployment measures made it possible to offset more than 40% of the revenue losses incurred due to the severe restrictions imposed by the health crisis.
The strength of Compagnie des Alpes' business model is based on the complementarity, in terms of seasonality and location, of mountain area and Leisure park activities, as well as their synergies. The business enjoyed steady and profitable growth until the start of the Covid-19 epidemic in March 2020.
FINANCIAL YEAR 2020/2021 NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THE CRISIS
SKI AREAS > Cancelled winter season
High potential for the resumption of activities Although the crisis disrupted operations, the attractiveness of the sites remained intact. The upturn recorded as soon as the sites reopened for summer 2021 is a perfect illustration of this. The Group’s priority is to continue to harness the potential for an upturn in activity, in accordance with the conditions dictated by the health situation.
