* Pierre & Vacances Tourisme Europe: a net reduction in the assets operated following withdrawals from loss-making sites (Adagio Access residences and seaside resorts in particular) and the non-renewal of leases (seaside locations primarily in Q4).

Center Parcs Europe: growth in network operated prompted by the opening on 29 June 2015 of the new Domaine des Bois aux Daims in the Vienne department.

  • Tourism turnover

Q4 2014/2015:

Turnover from the tourism businesses rose 5.5% compared with the year-earlier period to stand at €431.6 million.

Accommodation turnover came in at €289.9 million, showing an increase of 4.2% (+3.4% adjusted for supply effects), higher than the nine-month performance. Business during the summer was boosted by a clear increase in average letting rates in all destinations and an average occupancy rate of more than 82%.

  • Pierre & Vacances Tourisme Europe contributed €151.6 million to accommodation turnover, showing a 3.6% same-structure increase and an improvement on the trend noted over the previous three quarters (+3.2% overall increase).The increase in turnover was primarily driven by healthy performances from seaside destinations (+6.0%), on the back of both higher net average letting rates (+4.0%) and occupancy rates (+2.0%). These performances stemmed especially from momentum in web sales both in and outside France and reflected the efficiency of the price animation policy rolled out over the summer.
  • Center Parcs Europe contributed €138.3 million, representing growth of +3.1% excluding the impact of the newly opened Domaine des Bois aux Daims, the commercial success of which was also confirmed by an occupancy rate of more than 88% over the summer period.Q4 performances at the domains remained on the same trends as those already posted over the first nine months of the year (+3%), with turnover growth of 4.2% at the domains in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium and a slight increase in the French domains.

Supplementary income rose by 8.2%, driven by the success of marketing mandates, primarily in Spain.

Over 2014/2015:

Turnover from the tourism businesses totalled €1,180.7 million, up 3.5% relative to the previous year.

Accommodation turnover rose by 2.2%, stemming primarily from an increase in average letting rates (+2.7%). Adjusted for supply effects, turnover growth worked out to 3.2%, driven by better business in all destinations: +5% at seaside resorts, +3% at mountain resorts and at the Center Parcs domains and +2% at city residences.International clients represented 55% of the group's accommodation turnover and sales generated by these clients were 2.7% ahead of the previous year's level.

  • Property development turnover

Q4 2014/2015 property development turnover stood at €39.2 million, primarily in view of contributions from Villages Nature (€9.7 million), Center Parcs in the Vienne (€2.5 million), the Premium residence in Flaine (€2.5 million) and Les Seniorales (€15.1 million).

Full-year 2014/2015 turnover totalled €255.6 million, close to the €274.4 million reported in 2013/2014.

Property reservations to date with individual and institutional investors represent turnover of €327 million, vs. €291 million in the previous year.

2] Outlook

The portfolio of reservations to date for Q1 2015/2016 confirms ongoing growth in the tourism businesses at both Pierre & Vacances Tourisme Europe, with an increase in all destinations, and at Center Parcs Europe (even excluding the impact of the new Domaine des Bois aux Daims).
