Evolution of Q1 2024 revenue by activity
At constant scope and exchange rates, compared to Q1 2023, the main sectors evolved as follows:
-
Bolloré Energy: revenue fell 11% to 655 million euros, owing to a decrease in volumes sold against a backdrop of declining markets (domestic fuel oil and non-road diesel in particular) and, to a lesser extent, lower selling prices for oil products.
-
Communications (Vivendi): revenue totalled 4,274 million euros, for organic growth of 5% compared with Q1 2023. It takes into account the growth of Canal+ (+3%), which increased television sales in mainland France and internationally by expanding its subscriber base, the increase in Lagardère revenue (+9%), driven mainly by continued double-digit growth in Travel Retail, and the strong sales momentum of Havas Group (+3%).
-
Industry: revenue from industrial activities (Films, Blue, Systems) was 75 million euros, an improvement of 1%, benefiting from a slight increase in the Systems activities (specialized terminals and Polyconseil) and those of Blue (buses and batteries) and despite a decline in the Films business, mainly in dielectric films.
