Compagnie des Alpes Sees Margins Improve as H1 Earnings Outpace Revenue Growth EBITDA for the first half of fiscal 2025/26 rose 5.0%, supported by tight cost control and better margins.
Net income for the same period was up 7.7%, reflecting stronger operational performance.
Management is targeting nearly 10% EBITDA growth for the full 2025/26 year, excluding capital gains from Tignes.
The key takeaway is that profitability is moving ahead of revenue, with margin gains and cost discipline doing a lot of the heavy lifting for earnings so far this fiscal year.
For you, the main thing to watch is whether the company can sustain this level of cost control and margin improvement in the second half, especially given that the EBITDA target explicitly excludes any one-off Tignes capital gains. Announcement • Feb 17
