PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Groupe Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs (Paris:VAC):
1] First-half revenue
As of 1 October 2018, the Group applies the new revenue recognition standard “IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
The main impacts on revenue are the following:
-
Tourism: in terms of its tourism marketing mandates and various
outsourcing contracts (catering, events, ski lifts etc.), the Group
acts mostly as an “agent” in the wording of IFRS 15 and only its net
remuneration must be recognised in revenue.
Application of IFRS 15 therefore leads to a decline in tourism revenue, which so far recorded the volume of business generated by these activities, with no impact on the Group’s net profit (loss) for the year.
-
Property development: sales operations on behalf of third
parties are analysed on a case by case basis in order to establish
whether the Group acts as an “agent” or a “principal”.
The outcome of this analysis is a sharp increase in H1 2018/2019 revenue, driven primarily by the signing of renovation/disposal operations at Center Parcs, for which the Group is considered as a “principle” under the terms of IFRS 15.
Under IFRS accounting rules, H1 2018/2019 revenue totalled €707.2 million (€516.7 million for the tourism activities and €190.5 million for the property development activities).
The Group nevertheless continues to comment on its revenue and the associated financial indicators with the presentation of joint undertakings in proportional integration, in compliance with its operating reporting.

* Adjusted for the impact of:
- the shift from March in
2018 to April in 2019 of school holidays for certain foreign customers
(German, Belgian and Spanish especially);
- at PVTE, the net
reduction in the network operated (withdrawals from loss-making sites
and non-renewal of leases);
- at CPE, the net growth in the
network operated, prompted by the opening of the new Center Parcs in
Allgau and the annualisation of stock at the Center Parcs Ardennen in
Q1. These effects were partly offset by the impact of the closure of
Center Parcs de l’Ailette under the framework of renovation works (from
3 September 2018 to 8 February 2019).
