Pathe Cinemas commits to Vista Cloud

Vista Group International Limited (NZX & ASX:VGL) is delighted to announce that Pathe Cinemas, the largest cinema exhibitor in continental Europe, has become the latest existing Vista Group client to commit to Vista Cloud. The 5-year agreement will see Vista Cloud deployed across all of Pathe Cinemas' 129 sites (1,300+ screens) over multiple countries, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco and Ivory Coast. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, with the Vista Cloud commercials effective from 1 January 2024. Pathe Cinemas is set to take advantage of the entire Vista Cloud enterprise offering, including all of its advanced capabilities. The agreement replaces the existing on-premise and managed customer environment agreements with Pathe across the territories, and builds on an existing partnership between the parties for the resale of the Pathe developed self-checkout and e-gate solutions that integrate with Vista Group's platform. Pathe's Chief Information Officer, Jean-Christophe Desire, anticipates mutual success through the agreement with Vista Group. "Innovation is at the core of Pathe DNA since the beginning, back in 1896. Tomorrow, Vista Cloud will enable us to push the boundaries of customer journey excellence and best-in-class digital experiences. Our partnership in off-the-shelf advanced operational solutions will also benefit the industry and ultimately moviegoers." Vista Group CEO, Stuart Dickinson, expressed his enthusiasm in supporting a key client like Pathe on their journey to Cloud. "Our goal is to support Pathe Cinemas via Vista Cloud's best-in-class solution so they can focus on their own customers, the moviegoers," says Stuart Dickinson.

As a leading cinema exhibitor with widespread presence across Europe, we look forward to seeing Pathe's continued success in the industry."
