Senator adjusts plan to market situation
Senator Entertainment AG has adjusted its plan to the currently difficult market
conditions prevailing in the film and media industry. Now only half of the
planned revenues and a very positive EBITDA but, no balanced result are expected
for 2002.
Senator’s broad line-up, including every stage of the value creation chain in
film production and exploitation has ensured that revenues still continue to
increase despite the difficult media crises. Nonetheless, the desired sales and
results cannot be delivered this year because of temporal delimitations in the
results from current projects.
This year international film production will not have the revenue relevance
expected although sales for the projects postponed until 2003 at the Milan MIFED
film fair, just ended, were more than satisfactory. Box office receipts for
films opened did not meet expectations since there was an overall decline in the
number of moviegoers compared to last year.
The growth measures introduced remain unaffected by the change in plan–world
sales are still expected to generate 80% of future revenues. The outlook for
2003 and 2004 continues to be positive.
