    Kinepolis Group Business Update Q1 2016 Regulatory release - 11 May 2016 First quarter 20161 Compared to the same period last year, Kinepolis registered in the first quarter of 2016 more visitors, higher revenue per visitor in all countries and a positive contribution of the recently acquired cinemas to the turnover and EBITDA development at Group level. The net current profit also rose, both overall and per visitor. This generated the following figures: A rise in visitor numbers of 26.8% to 6.7 million, thanks to the expansion of the Group, a strong film offer and recovering consumer confidence in Spain. A stronger increase in total revenue compared to visitor numbers, due to the higher revenue per visitor. A rise in current2 EBITDA3, both overall and per visitor, thanks to the rise in total re- venue and a further improvement in operating efficiency. An increase in net current profit, in spite of the increased tax burden. A decrease in the net financial debt compared to 31 December 2015, thanks to the favourable operating cash flow and in spite of investments in the further expansion of the Group. Between 1 January and 31 March 2016, Kinepolis welcomed 6.7 million visitors, 26.8% more than in the same period last year. This rise is due to the addition of acquired and new cinemas, after the acquisi- tion of nine Utopolis cinemas4 and the cinema in Bourgoin (France) in 2015, as well as the acquisition of the cinema in Rouen (France) and the opening of Kinepolis Dordrecht (the Netherlands) at the begin- ning of 2016.

The new RTL Telekids logo Netherlands - 14 October 2010 As of 18 October, RTL Telekids, RTL Nederland’s brand for children programmes, returns to Dutch living rooms on RTL 8. “During its ten years on air – from 1989 to 1999 – RTL Telekids became a very popular children’s programme and it’s still much talked about,” explains Remko van Westerloo, Programme Director at RTL 8. “During the celebrations for our twentieth anniversary last year, RTL Telekids was voted the most popular format by the daily TV show- biz magazine RTL Boulevard. The children who used to watch RTL Telekids are today’s parents. That’s reason enough to bring back this strong brand that evokes fond memories for many parents.” Olaf Swinarski, Head of Licensing and Entertainment, adds: “Last year, we learned in a consumer survey that RTL Telekids is still perceived as the most successful children’s brand on Dutch television ever among current parents with young children.
