Financial Performance Overview
The group's revenue reached 254.3 million DKK, exceeding last year’s performance by 1.8 million DKK during the same period. The fluctuations in revenue, expenses, and depreciation are mainly due to lower activity levels at Lalandia, as the Easter holiday in 2025 falls in April rather than March, as it did in 2024.
Event Highlights Impacting Revenue
During the period from January 1 to March 31, 2025, PARKEN hosted six football matches, including a sold-out UEFA Conference League match against Chelsea FC and a sold-out international match featuring Portugal. These events contributed positively to the revenue figures despite the overall decrease related to seasonal timing.
Challenges and Results
The operating result before amortizations and transfer activities reported a loss of 36.0 million DKK, a decline compared to -13.1 million DKK from the previous year. Additionally, the financial outcome from transfer activities fell to -27.2 million DKK, a worsening from -11.6 million DKK during the same timeframe last year. Overall, the result before tax for March 31, 2025, was -73.9 million DKK compared to -33.9 million DKK in the prior year.
Forecast for Future Performance
PARKEN Sport & Entertainment A/S remains committed to its previously announced expectations for 2025. The organization anticipates revenue levels between 1.6 billion to 1.7 billion DKK and a pre-tax profit estimated between 100 million to 150 million DKK.
