Kinepolis delivered solid results in 2025 in a still challenging environment. Despite an incomplete Hollywood slate, the absence of the major French box-office successes of 2024 and negative currency effects, Kinepolis succeeded in limiting the revenue decline to -2.3% (with -5.8% visitors) compared with the previous year. With this, Kinepolis achieved a robust adjusted EBITDAL of € 128.2 million (-3.4%) and an adjusted net result that remained virtually in line with 2024. Excluding the currency effects related to the USD and CAD, the revenue decline narrows to -0.3% (€ 576.6 million), and adjusted EBITDAL amounts to € 130.2 million (-1.9%)
2026 got off to a promising start thanks to the success of some strong year-end films such as 'Avatar: Fire and Ash', 'Zootopia 2' and 'The Housemaid'. With the line-up announced for 2026, the acquisition of US-based Emagine Entertainment, a successful refinancing and numerous investments that will have their effect in 2026, Kinepolis is well positioned for the future.
A gross dividend of € 0.65 per share will be proposed to the General Meeting.
