On top of the six US majors, Ymagis now has agreements with distributors accounting for 99 per cent of Spanish prints and this enables Spanish exhibitors, which have been lagging compared to other countries, to digitise fully.  Of the Top five exhibitors in Spain, as at H2 2011, Yelmo has achieved near-full digitisation and Cinesa is nearing 50 per cent penetration across its estate. The other three circuits are yet to pass 10 per cent digitisation, very low compared to exhibitors in other European countries. The other point to note is the fact that Ymagis has brokered an industry-wide deal, on a commercial basis, with all size of distributors which is not only unique in Europe but is also a clear indicator that the model proposed by the French company suits the economics of the different-sized players in Spanish distribution.

Ymagis now has 2,200 screens signed to their deployment programme, of which 1,600 should be installed by end 2011. The important point about installed screens is that they are then generating VPFs for repayment of the digital equipment. Starting slightly later than other deployment entities in Europe, Ymagis is catching up with them in terms of screens deployed, and while each company goes through periods of high activity, these announcements position Ymagis well in three of Europe's largest five markets (France, Spain and Germany), although Arts Alliance and XDC both have a wider geographical coverage than Ymagis both in market reality and in terms of their targets.
