Kinepolis Group Model update after FY23: there is firepower again for potential acquisitions

We updated our model after the good set of FY23 results. Nevertheless, we lowered slightly our FY24E visitor numbers from 37.0m to 36.1m as after Dune: Part Two, the first blockbuster of 2024, we expect a relative soft line-up until 4Q24.
As we see further improvement in Box Office per visitor and in ITS (In Theatre Sales) per visitor, Kinepolis Group's Free Cash Flow generation will further accelerate. As a result, the net debt (excl. lease) to EBITDAL ratio will come to comfortable levels, paving the way for new acquisitions once management feels it is time to do so.
We maintain our € 55 Target Price and Buy rating.
