Madrid, November 27th, 2018.– Parques Reunidos, one of the world’s leading leisure park operators, closed its fiscal year 2018 (from October 2017 to September 2018) with revenue of €583.1 million, a +2.3% like-for-like increase in comparison with the previous year. In line with the trading update announced by the company on 4th October 2018, EBITDA closed at €173.6 million (+1.4 % like-for-like). Proforma net income was €49.5 million (-3.7%).

The group has delivered positive growth across all regions and season passes sales have reached new record levels (+16%), even though performance has been affected by poor weather conditions in the US and to a lesser extent in Europe. The total number of visitors have reached 19,9 million, a like-for-like increase of +1.7%.

By region, Spain achieved another record year driven by a strong attendance that resulted in revenue growth of +4%, with an outstanding performance in the fourth quarter of the year and good results from the expansion of Warner Beach. The rest of Europe also delivered a positive performance, driven by higher attendance and per capita revenue, the successful opening of Mirabeach extension at Mirabilandia (Italy) and a strong performance during the low season. In the US revenue grew 0.6%, after performance was negatively impacted by extremely adverse weather conditions -California and the Northern East have experienced a combination of cooler temperatures and more rainy days-.

Parques Reunidos is focused on delivering growth and creating value for its shareholders. The company is currently developing for 2019 four expansion projects that represent a €70 million investment. Ducati World will be a one-of-a-kind branded area at Mirabilandia (Italy) incorporating the latest technologies that replicate the experience of riding a Ducati. Kennywood (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) will incorporate Steelers Country, an exclusive and innovative football experience through a record breaking 67-meter-high roller coaster themed after the famous football team The Pittsburgh Steelers. Nearby Dutch Wonderland (Lancaster, Pennsylvania), the first Cartoon Network hotel will be developed offering a unique accommodation experience for the park’s visitors. Lastly, the state-of-the-art indoor “Living Shores Aquarium” will come to Story Land (New Hampshire) during 2019.

This autumn two indoor entertainment centers are opening their doors: Atlantis Aquarium and Nickelodeon Adventure, both located at Madrid Xanadu shopping center.

Parques Reunidos has a strong track record in M&A and is actively analyzing new opportunities.
