Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) today shared its business results for the fiscal year of 20231 (FY23)*. In FY23, HKDL delivered solid financial performance across the board with strong growth compared to the prior fiscal year, despite the impact of travel restrictions under the pandemic for nearly half of the fiscal year. Turned profitable starting from 2023 summer, even before the opening of World of Frozen. Soon after Hong Kong reactivated inbound tourism, our business and inbound tourism strategies paid off. World of Frozen accelerated HKDL growth momentum in 2024.

Here are the highlights:

Revenue grew 156% to HK$5.7 billion
EBITDA improved by 207% to HK$924 million
Net loss improved by 83% to HK$356 million
Per capita spending grew 54%
Total attendance grew 87% to 6.4 million
Hotels’ utilisation rate for the year was 77%^ and overall occupancy increased by 23 percentage points to 47%
Notably, in December 2023, HKDL fully repaid the revolver facility (HK$2.7 billion) funded by a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company and has not drawn on it thereafter.

* With a year-end date on the Saturday closest to, if not on, 30 September, the fiscal year consists of 52 weeks with the exception that approximately every six years, the fiscal year comprises a 53-week period. Fiscal 2023 and 2022 were both a 52-week year ending on 30 September 2023 and 1 October 2022, respectively.

^ Hotel utilisation is calculated based on adjusted available capacity, which excludes room inventory temporarily removed from service having regard to a number of factors, such as the temporary closure of hotel rooms for planned renovation and management’s best estimates of the market situation and operational needs.

2023財政年度業績表現改善：本地入場人次再創新高，入境旅客強勁反彈
Improved fiscal year 2023 performance bolstered by record-high local attendance and strong rebound in inbound tourism

香港迪士尼對於本地賓客的吸引力持續增長，2023財政年度錄得歷史新高的本地入場人次，包括年輕賓客以及參與迪士尼青少年團隊活動的學生人數，同創新高。另外，內地和海外賓客的入場人次對比疫情前反彈，勢頭強勁。截至2023財政年度末，香港迪士尼的累計總入場人次突破9,800萬（於2023年曆年內達到一億人次）。

HKDL’s local guest affinity continued to grow, with FY23 seeing historically high local attendance, including record attendance among young adults and students from Disney Youth Programs. In addition, the theme park reported record-high local attendance and an encouraging rebound in mainland China and overseas visitation compared with pre-pandemic levels. Cumulative attendance by end of FY23 surpassed 98 million (and 100 million within calendar year 2023).

「魔雪奇緣世界」開幕延續度假區業務強勢：2024年曆年第一季的收入、EBITDA及淨利潤均創歷史新高
World of Frozen extends resort’s continued success, with record-breaking revenue, EBITDA and net profit in Q1 of calendar year 2024

香港迪士尼樂園度假區行政總裁莫偉庭表示：「我們踏入了一個新時代。香港迪士尼樂園度假區在迎接20周年慶典前能夠取得多項成就，包括在2023年曆年內錄得盈利，訪客人數的恢復跑贏香港整體旅遊業市況**，我為此感到無比驕傲！」

「而且這個強勁勢頭得以持續。我們在2024年曆年的第一季，創下了開園以來最佳的季度收入、EBITDA及淨利潤。」

莫偉庭又提到，香港迪士尼透過持續投資，為巿場度身訂造的遊樂設施、體驗和故事，以及在企業公民事務上的努力付出，大大推動和貢獻本港的經濟和社區，奠定其舉足輕重的地位。

他補充：「我們憑藉創意及創新，以及多項新的迪士尼獨特體驗，包括華麗變身的『奇妙夢想城堡』、『迪士尼星夢光影之旅』夜間城堡匯演，以及最新推出的『魔雪奇緣世界』，香港迪士尼接連刷新一個又一個的紀錄，已經成為了吸引旅客訪港的皇牌。」

興奮接踵而來！獨有且世界級的迪士尼體驗將於2024年繼續無間斷推出。隨着「魔雪奇緣世界」開幕，配合全年令人興奮的節慶活動，將會吸引粉絲以及來自世界各地的賓客到訪。莫偉庭總結：「明年，香港迪士尼將慶祝20週年，密切留意稍後公佈的消息和活動！」

** 根據香港旅遊發展局的數據，對比2023及2018的同期數字，香港迪士尼的非本地賓客入場人次的反彈，超越整體訪港旅客人數的復甦。

“We have entered a new era. I am extremely proud of all we have accomplished at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort in the lead-up to our 20th anniversary, achieving profitability in calendar year 2023 and our rebound in visitors outpacing the overall Hong Kong tourism market**,” said Michael Moriarty, managing director, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.

“And the strong momentum continues. The first quarter of calendar year 2024 was our most successful quarter ever, achieving record levels of revenue, EBITDA and net income.”

Moriarty added that HKDL has firmly established itself as a key driver and contributor to Hong Kong’s economy and community through its ongoing investment in bespoke attractions, experiences and storytelling, as well as its corporate citizenship efforts.

“Through a series of record-breaking achievements, fueled by creativity and innovation, including our new signature offerings — the reimagined Castle of Magical Dreams, ‘Momentous’ Nighttime Spectacular and most recently, World of Frozen, we have become a drawcard for Hong Kong tourists,” Moriarty added.

Throughout 2024, guests will continue to see distinctly Disney, world-class experiences. The opening of World of Frozen, combined with seasonal surprises throughout the year, promises to captivate fans and guests from around the world. In closing, Moriarty said, “As HKDL celebrates its 20th anniversary next year, stay tuned for thrilling updates and offerings to come!”.

** HKDL’s non-local attendance recovery has outpaced Hong Kong’s total visitor arrival recovery according to figures from the Hong Kong Tourism Board, comparing the same period in 2023 and 2018.
