Overall refinancing of Group
On 13 February 2014, the Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs
Group (Paris:VAC) signed an agreement with its partner banks to
renew the syndicated loan initially taken out in June 2010, for an
amount of €185 million, maturing in 2019.
At the same time, on 4 February 2014, the Group successfully
launched an issue of ORNANE1 bonds for an amount of €115 million,
maturing on 1 October 2019. This operation enabled the refinancing
of OCEANE2 bonds issued in early 2011, at a lower interest rate
(ORNANE bonds coupon of 3.50% compared with 4.0% for the OCEANE
bonds).
The implementation of these new financing solutions, together
with the extension of the average maturity on debt, has
strengthened the Group's financial flexibility, underpinning the
deployment of the WIN2016 strategic plan.
Foundation stones laid for fifth French Center Parcs in the
Vienne department
On 15 November 2014, the Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs
Group and its public/private partners laid the foundation stone of
the Domaine du Bois aux Daims, in the Vienne department in the
Poitou-Charentes region.
The specific nature of this village lies in its animal-based
concept, featuring wild, domestic and free-range animals.
This fifth Center Parcs is due to open in spring 2015.
Development project for two midsize Center Parcs in
France
On 28 March 2014, the Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Group
announced a development project for two Center Parcs with 400
cottages each in the Jura and Saône-et-Loire regions of France.
The investment in each of these midsize Center Parcs stands at
€170 million.
For each village, the equipment is to be sold to a semi-public
company primarily comprising local and regional authorities. The
cottages are to be sold to individual and institutional investors
who will entrust their management to Center Parcs.
The two projects are due to open in summer 2018.

(1) On a like-for-like basis, turnover has primarily been
adjusted for calendar effects (impact of shift in Holy Week, Easter
week-end and the school holidays for German, Belgian and UK clients
from Q2 to Q3 of the year(2) o/w -4% stemming from the reduction in
the network operated.
H1 2013/2014 tourism turnover totalled €464.9 million, up
1.9% after adjusting for the impact of the shift in the Easter
holidays from Q2 until Q3 of the year (negative impact on H1 offset
by a postponement effect to April).Growth was primarily driven by
the Q1 performance with turnover having remained stable in Q2,
despite a negative supply effect of 4% on turnover at Pierre &
Vacances Tourisme Europe (withdrawal from loss making sites in
2012/2013 and non-renewal of leases) and an increase in VAT in
France from 7% to 10%.
On a like-for-like basis, accommodation turnover rose by
1.8% during H1, as a result of:
- growth of 4.8% in accommodation
turnover at Center Parcs Europe, driven by:
- Healthy performances at the new
Bostalsee village, open since 1 July 2013.
- Growth in the businesses in France
(+4.1%) and the Netherlands (+2.2%).
- a slight 0.7% decline in accommodation
turnover at Pierre & Vacances Tourisme Europe, due to the
negative supply effect in Q2. On a same-structure basis, turnover
rose by 2.2%, driven by the mountain sites (+3.6%, with an average
occupancy rate of close to 85%) and city residences (+2.2%).
- Property development
turnover
H1 2013/2014 property development turnover rose by 57.1%
to €97.0 million, stemming primarily from the contribution from the
Center Parcs in the Vienne region (€24.1 million), the Center Parcs
at Bostalsee (€12.3 million) and the extension of the Center Parcs
in Moselle (€10.3 million) as well as from Les Senioriales (€26.2
million).
Property reservations to date with individual investors
totalled €139.1 million, a level comparable to that of the
year-earlier period (€120.4 million).
3] Outlook
Tourism reservations to date for Q3 2013/14 are higher
than they were in the year-earlier period, benefiting in particular
from the effect of the shift in the school holidays from Q2 to
Q3.
Q3 2013/2014 property development turnover is set to
increase significantly relative to Q3 2012/13 given the schedule
for the property programmes.
