Vivendi: Significant Decrease in the Financial Net Debt in the First Quarter of 2025
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Yannick Bolloré, Chairman of Vivendi's (Paris:VIV) Supervisory Board, and Arnaud de Puyfontaine, Chief Executive Officer, said: '2025 represents a new chapter in Vivendi's history and a year of reinvention after having split the Group in December of last year. During the first quarter of 2025, as part of the dynamic management of its equity interests, Vivendi decided to focus on the content, media and entertainment sectors. Our divestment from the telecoms industry led us to sell most of our stake in TIM, resulting in a substantial decrease in our financial net debt. Meanwhile, Gameloft continued to rebalance its games portfolio between the PC/console and mobile segments in line with the transformation strategy we have been pursuing for several years. The composition of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board was also reviewed and adjusted during this period to reflect the new scale of our company. Vivendi owns a portfolio of high-quality assets and maintains a solid balance sheet in the face of a turbulent and uncertain economic and stock market environment. We remain convinced of the soundness of our decision to split the Group at the end of 2024, and confident in the ability of this transaction to create value for all stakeholders.' Vivendi's revenues For the first quarter of 2025, Vivendi's revenues 1 were €69.4 million, stable compared to the first quarter of 2024 (+0.6% and +0.3% at constant currency and perimeter). Gameloft For the first quarter of 2025, Gameloft's total revenues were €68.5 million, including €31.9 million from the PC/console segment and €33.3 million from the Mobile segment, representing a slight increase (+0.6% and +0.3% at constant currency and perimeter) in total revenues compared to the first quarter of 2024. PC/console revenues now represent 46% of total revenues and were up 13.5% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first quarter of 2024. Mobile revenues represented 49% of total revenues, down 10.5% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first quarter of 2024. Disney Dreamlight Valley, Asphalt Legends Unite, Disney Magic Kingdoms, March of Empires, and Disney Speedstorm were the five best-selling games in the first quarter of 2025 and represented 56% of Gameloft's total revenues. In the first quarter of 2025, Gameloft launched Carmen Sandiego, first on Netflix in January, and then on PC and console platforms in March. The launch thrilled fans of the franchise and was covered in over 50 articles in the specialist press, noting the game's faithfulness to the original. Change in the Group's listed investments About Vivendi Since its creation, Vivendi has established itself as a player in content, media and entertainment, developing a portfolio of both listed and unlisted assets, each a leader in its market. Vivendi owns 100% of Gameloft, a world-renowned video game publisher that successfully develops multi-platform games for consoles, PCs, and mobile devices. Vivendi's asset portfolio includes minority stakes in leading publicly traded companies: Universal Music Group and Banijay Group in content and entertainment, and MediaForEurope and Prisa in media and telecommunications. In addition, Vivendi owns a stake in the publishing and travel retail sector with Lagardère and a residual stake in telecoms with TIM. Leveraging its strategic and economic expertise, Vivendi anticipates global dynamics and participates in the transformations of the sectors in which the group operates, notably the digital revolution and new consumer uses of content. Vivendi supports value-creating companies, offering sustainable prospects and a positive contribution to the evolution of our society.
