Hong Kong Disneyland on Tuesday said it had fully repaid all shareholder loans to achieve zero debt for the first time by the end of its latest fiscal year – a major milestone that managing director Tim Sypko said reflected the resort’s strengthening financial health.

Unveiling the park’s annual performance review, Sypko reported a net profit of HK$536 million on revenue of HK$8.69 billion for the 2024-25 fiscal year ending on September 27, 2025.

In the previous fiscal year, the theme park achieved an historic net profit of HK$838 million.

"These accomplishments are especially notable given the rapid resumption of Hong Kong’s outbound travel, ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, as well as the extreme weather conditions Hong Kong experienced in 2025, all of which have influenced travel patterns and visit intent," he said.

Despite those challenges, Sypko said, total annual attendance at the theme park reached 7.5 million while per capita guest spending rose two percent year on year to set a new record.

Overall hotel occupancy also jumped six percentage points to 79 percent.

The theme park, Sypko pointed out, remains one of Hong Kong’s largest tourism and entertainment employers, with roughly 9,000 full-time and part-time staff on its payroll during the fiscal year.

On the expansion front, Sypko noted that new Pixar and Marvel-themed attractions are already under construction, with the experience revolving around the fabled animation studio scheduled to launch next year.

Looking ahead to the upcoming Labour Day Golden Week, he said the park is optimistic about visitor numbers from the mainland, adding that hotel occupancy is nearly full.

"We are nothing but welcoming of all those guests to come visit Hong Kong Disneyland. The strength of our brand, the strength of our experience [and] the record level of revisit intent," he said.

"These are powerful indicators that we expect to play well with this holiday."

Sypko also emphasised the importance of a diverse guest mix, noting that the team will lean into different markets as appropriate.

"Supported by a growing base of Disney fans across key markets and a strong pipeline of new and innovative offerings, Hong Kong Disneyland is optimistic about its long-term prospects and confident in its important role as an international travel destination for Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area," he said.
