4 STATEMENT OF NON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Societal challenges

l 1 direct job in one of our Tarentaise ski areas supports 1.6 additional jobs in Savoie, 2.8 in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (AURA) and 4 in France; l these six companies pay €62 million in tax (various taxes, excluding VAT), local authority contributions (mainly through Public Service Concession contracts) and corporation tax. Note that 66% of this amount is paid to the region; l 73% of their purchases are made in France. Specifically, they contribute to the local economic fabric by spending €34 million with 736 SMEs in Savoie and €49 million with around 1,200 SMEs in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Finally, because of the quality of the facilities and services they o ff er, our resorts broaden the general appeal of France as a tourist destination: 45% of the catalytic e ff ect is generated by skiers from outside France. 4.4.1.2 Investing in the appeal of the sites and other socioeconomic players Investing Each year, Compagnie des Alpes invests vast sums in the appeal of their resorts and leisure parks. Over the fi scal year, their net capital expenditure was in excess of €209.4 million (24.5% of revenue). This massive investment in our tools and equipment helps to maintain and grow the dynamic of the tourist ecosystems in which we operate. You will fi nd more information about our investment dynamic in several chapters of this Universal Registration Document. For example, Compagnie des Alpes launched a major €55 million project at Parc Astérix, due to be completed in 2020, aimed at increasing the hotel capacity from the current 100 rooms to 450 rooms (two additional hotels) and enhancing the park’s o ff ering These changes will make Parc Astérix accessible to visitors who are more than three hours away by car, turning it into a short break destination, as Futuroscope is today. Getting involved Leisure parks are contributing to the success of regional tourism through their involvement in regional structures, notably tourism boards. By enhancing their capacity and appeal, the Leisure parks are becoming bona fide regional and national tourist destinations. For example, Futuroscope is running initiatives with the Vienne tourist board and other tourism players in the department to promote the Pays du Futuroscope brand. The Ski areas also take part in global resort studies (on appeal, positioning, accommodation or customer journey satisfaction), contribute to the tools available (implementation of CRM system, data sharing, and design thinking initiative) and market the resorts (help to fund Tourist O ffi ces and are members of Atout France or France Montagne). The overall aim is to improve the appeal of the whole area. In return, this generates economic bene fi ts for the entire region and local stakeholders. Below are a few examples of CDA’s actions which mark it out as the best partner of the regions: l CDA is currently putting the fi nishing touches to an initial major survey of 52,000 customers which will be of bene fi t to all local players, either globally or targeting the speci fi cs of a particular resort. The results will then be shared with local representatives and Tourism players (TO, socio-pros) so they can work together on improvements. l ADS supports the growth of the resort players by incorporating their promotions into the “Basic and Premium pass” bene fi ts programme. Most of our partners recorded an increase in their visitor numbers thanks to the roll-out broad promotional mechanism. l Each year GMDS circulates the results of its environmental observations to a large number of local stakeholders and the environmental authorities to promote the wealth of the region and ensure it is protected. It also suggests ways it can be improved and raises collective awareness.

Economic impact of Futuroscope

l 1 direct job at Futuroscope supports 0.9 additional jobs in Vienne, 1.2 in Nouvelle Aquitaine and 3.2 in France. l The Park’s activities contribute €78 million to Vienne’s GDP and €159 million to France’s GDP. l Futuroscope buys 77% of its goods and services in France, spending €52 million of which €29 million in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region. It spends €25 million with 192 SMEs in Vienne.

Economic impact of Parc Astérix

l Parc Astérix injected €100 million into the French economy in 2017- 2018, including €77 million from purchases, €21 million in terms of its payroll and €2 million in taxes. l This in turn generated wealth (GDP) of €182 million in the French economy, €87 million of which in the Hauts de France Region and €63 million in the greater Paris region (Ile-de-France). l The Park’s activities sustained 3,327 jobs in France, 815 of which were direct and 1,282 indirect in the supplier chain. l Parc Astérix bought goods or services amounting to €52 million in Hauts de France and Ile de France combined, which equated to 67% of its total purchases. Impact of our catalyst effect on the tourist offering And our sites are major tourist attractions. Their business activities therefore benefit shops, transport, accommodation, cafés and restaurants and, more broadly, other socioeconomic players in the tourism ecosystem. For example, for every euro a skier spends on the ski lifts, they spend another seven at the resort (2012 Contours study). On this basis, we can estimate that around €2.6 billion of France’s GDP comes from expenditure by the skiers and their fellow travellers at our six Tarentaise resorts. This equates to €2.1 billion of GDP generated in AURA and €1.4 billion in Savoie, due to the catalytic e ff ect of our activity.
