KINEPOLIS - A quality Covid recovery play, as they know how to weather the storm KIN BB

We updated our numbers as we believe Kinepolis is on track in execution of its ‘Entrepreneurship plan’ and ‘Star plan’ to secure its future performance. This should compensate for 15-20% decline in visitors versus pre-covid (so 2019 levels) on EBITDA-level. As we do not expect FY22E visitor numbers to be LfL 20% below FY19 levels these performance plans should have a substantial leverage effect on profitably. A surge in Covid-19 cases can postpone the timing but we see Kinepolis as a quality Covid-19 recovery play. As Kinepolis knows how to weather the storm, we would see (any) price weaknesses due to potential more ristrictions in Belgium as a buy opportunity.
