2011: A MAJOR MILESTONE . Net sales +32%; EBITDA: +26%; Net income (pre-GW): +64%
HOMAIR Vacances has reached a major milestone in terms of growth and profitability in 2011. The successful integration of AL FRESCO, acquired from TUI Travel PLC and the good performance of the HOMAIR business unit both drive strong and fast-growing results.
The profitable growth strategy led and implemented by the management team provides confidence at the outset of the 2012 season, as the Group has once more established its ability to thrive in a challenging macro-economic environment.
2011: a key step
1. Development of the sites and mobile-homes portfolio
The 2011 HOMAIR Vacances portfolio has included c.8 000 mobile-homes (i.e. +20.2%key step vs. 2010) spread across 135 sites.
Two components have been added to the portfolio in 2011:
The campsite division of TUI Travel PLC (AL FRESCO – 1 071 mobile homes fully-owned)
The Paris Est campsite in Champigny/Marne (3* ; 400 pitches) ;
The Group has also acquired the land of two own sites:
· Les Oliviers in La Ciotat (4* ; 500 pitches)
· Les Vieilles Forges in the Ardennes region (3* ; 300 pitches)
2. RevPAR growth
HOMAIR Vacances has recorded another year of RevPAR expansion at +7.8%.
On average over the past six years, RevPAR has grown 5.0% p.a.
3. Results
Net sales have enjoyed a 32% growth in 2011, while EBITDA has grown 26% and EBIT is at +24%. This margin evolution reflects primarily the integration of AL FRESCO, where margins are lower when compared to Group average.
In the same period, current income is up 36%, net income pre-GW is up 64% and net income post GW (group share) is up 84%.
4. Balance sheet and financial structure
HOMAIR Vacances has built a sound financial structure with shareholders’ equity growing alongside the Group’s net income (+€4.0m) while the Net debt/EBITDA ratio is holding well in a major growth context: 2.8x in 2011 vs. 3.2x in 2008; 2.6x in 2009 and 2.5x in 2010.

2012 objectives and strategic/financial considerations
To date the 2012 portfolio includes c.8,500 mobiles homes spread across close to 150 campsites.
HOMAIR Vacances expects a sales growth level above 10% in 2012, as well as significant reduction of its debt ratios, except if there is a major acquisition completed during the year.
In this context, the review of the Group’s financial and shareholding structures has comforted the Supervisory Board’s views regarding its potential of self-financed growth in France and in Europe for the years to come. The indications of interests received to date from third-parties have not fully valued this potential. The strategic priorities for the months to come are therefore set up as follows:
1. Finalise the sale and lease-back transaction on some of the Group’s land assets. Closing is expected in the coming weeks and a dedicated press release will be issued if/when this happens.
2. Actively pursue the search for external growth targets (individual campsites and/or competitors in France and in Europe).
3. Pursue the strong organic growth, which is value-creative for the shareholders.
