Covenant Information Odeon & UCI Cinemas Group is Europe s leading cinema operator and the largest in the world outside of America, with 2,227 cinema screens in 244 locations in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Austria and Spain. At group level, attendances were up 7.3% for H1 2015, increasing revenue by 17% and EBITDA by 50% to 37.30 million. Odeon is the UK s largest cinema operator with over 110 cinemas, accounting for nearly a third of all tickets sold in the UK. Forecast results for end of 2015 suggest that turnover and EBITDA will be significantly better than 2014 and almost certainly higher than the 5 year high of 2012. UK Cinema Market Commentary The UK box office achieved over 83 million cinema admissions in the first half of 2015, a 10% growth on the same period in 2014 and higher than the 10 year peak in 2011 (173 million admissions by the year end). Following the summer success of Jurassic World and anticipated box office appeal of Spectre (James Bond) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 2015 could easily exceed this 10 year high. Looking ahead, cinema operators and studios are confident the 2016 film slate will maintain the UK s overall +2.06% CAGR (since 1990) in cinema attendance. The film slate, rather than wider macroeconomic conditions, is considered the main driver of attendance figures and the 2016 film slate is anticipated to deliver with feature films such as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Captain America: Civil War, and the second in the new Star Wars trilogy. Odeon Cinemas Ltd is the main UK trading company and has been rated 5A1 by D&B.
