Vivendi on Wednesday posted a full-year loss of $1.07B (1.01B Euros) for 2022, linked to the deconsolidation of its Telecom Italia stake, but painted a positive picture in terms of its overall health and revenue.
The loss compared with a record profit of $25.9B (24.6B euros) in 2021, which was driven by its spin-off of a 60% stake of Universal Music Group.
Full-year revenues for the Paris-based global media and entertainment conglomerate rose 10.1% to $10.1B (9.6B Euros) year-on-year. Ebita grew 35.6% to $915M (868M Euros). Adjusted net income excluding Telecom Italia increased by 19.4% to $713M (677M Euros).
The group said the rise in revenues had been driven by the performance of its two biggest entities, communications outfit Havas and pay-tv giant the Canal+ Group, as well as video games specialist Gameloft.
“I would like to highlight the solidity of our group with another year of double-digit growth,” CEO Arnaud de Puyfontaine said in a results call.

"I should have kept our feet on the ground." Blue Fox has released an official US trailer for Waiting for Bojangles, a French romantic drama involving dance and love and family. It already opened in France in January under the title En attendant Bojangles, and is finally coming to US theaters this September. Every night in their Parisian apartment in front of their little boy, Camille and Georges dance to their favorite song "Mr Bojangles". With them, there is only place for fun and fantasy. They must be referring to the "Mr. Bojangles" originally by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The film stars 5-time César Award nominee Romain Duris, 4-time César Award nominee Virginie Efira (also seen in Benedetta), and César Award winner Grégory Gadebois, with newcomber Solan Machado Graner as a young boy in the south of France who recounts the epic love story of his parents – from madcap highs to heartbreaking lows.

Vivendi, the parent company of French pay TV company Canal Plus Group and advertising banner Havas Group, saw its revenues increase by 13.4 to €2.3 billion (2.4 billion) during the first quarter of 2022.
The company’s financial results were mainly driven by the growth of Canal Plus Group, Havas Group, as well Vivendi Village, which is behind live events, and the video game outfit Gameloft. Results also took into account Prisma Media, the recently acquired publishing group.
During the first quarter of 2022 Canal Plus Group’s revenues reached €1.4 billion (1.5 billion), a 6.5 year-on-year increase. Revenues from television in mainland France and international operations went up by 6.5 and 6.2, respectively.
Studiocanal, the TV and film banner, saw its revenues rise by 4.5 in one year, thanks to the performance of a few movies such as “Superwho?,” “Waiting for Bojangles” and “Goliath,” as well as a large volume of library sales.

French films grossed €91.4 million ($103 million) from 14.8 million admissions overseas last year, a 5.5% year-on-year increase, while China became the top territory for French film fare, ahead of Russia and Spain. Figures were unveiled by French promotion org Unifrance during a day of conferences hosted as part of its Rendez-Vous event in Paris.
While theaters around the world were once again closed for several months last year, as many as 719 French films released internationally, a 17.7% year-on-year increase.
In spite of the ongoing pandemic, French movies also shined at major film festivals with Audrey Diwan’s “Happening” and Julia Ducournau’s “Titane” winning the top prizes at Venice and Cannes, respectively. As many as 202 French movies were selected in the top 10 international film festivals, accounting for 21% of respective lineups, a 24% increase on 2020.
French movies were also slightly better represented on streaming services with 2,900 titles available on international platforms, which represents nearly 5% of their global offer,...

French film exports generated 91.4M euros ($103.6M) in 2021, a 5.5% increase on the previous year’s provisional figures, while admissions were up 8% to 14.8M. Comparatively, French films within France sold 39.2M tickets during the year. The figures were announced during the annual Unifrance Rendez-Vous with French Cinema which is taking place in Paris this week — one of the rare international gatherings in the current landscape that’s being held as a physical event.
Today’s numbers are provisional estimates and will be higher when they are trued up in the fall. For example, when originally announced in January 2021, the 2020 receipts were 86.6M euros, ultimately jumping to 101.7M euros when recalculated in November; a decline of over 60% versus 2019.
Interestingly, China in 2021 overtook Russia to become the leading overseas market for French titles in terms of admissions, partly owing to the fact that its cinemas recovered more quickly from Covid than elsewhere. Over...
