This major sporting event enabled the Group to achieve record audiences across all key demographics, demonstrating television\u2019s unmatched ability to reach mass audiences.<\/i><\/p> \nBringing together audiences on this unprecedented scale generated exceptional demand from advertisers and enabled the Group to record its highest second-quarter advertising revenue in five years, despite a deteriorating macroeconomic backdrop and a challenging advertising market. In keeping with our long-standing financial discipline, we remained profitable during the quarter.<\/i><\/p> \nStarting in September, we intend to build on the exceptional audience momentum and brand exposure generated by the World Cup across our channels and sustain it over the long term through the launch of new programmes and the return of our flagship franchises.<\/i><\/p> \nWe are also continuing to pursue our ambitious digital transformation strategy and reaffirm the targets set out in our streaming plan<\/i>.\u201d<\/p> \n643.8<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n632.7<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n1.8%<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n520.4<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n520.2<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n0.1%<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n454.5<\/i><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n450.1<\/i><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n1.0%<\/i><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n65.9<\/i><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n70.0<\/i><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n-5.9%<\/i><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n123.3<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n112.5<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n9.6%<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n54.4<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n105.9<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n-48.7%<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n8.4%<\/i><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n16.7%<\/i><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n-8.3pp<\/i><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n(4.6)<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n(4.3)<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n-5.1%<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n(0.5)<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n0.1<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \nn.a<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n49.3<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n101.7<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n-51.5%<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n(0.4)<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n2.9<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \nn.a<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n(1.2)<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n(6.6)<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n81.9%<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n(13.2)<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n(28.4)<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n53.6%<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n34.4<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n69.5<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n-50.4%<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n0.0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n(11.6)<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \nn.a<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n34.4<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n57.9<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n-40.6%<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \n36.3<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n59.2<\/b><\/p><\/td> \n\u00a0<\/p><\/td> \n-38.7%<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr>\n \nFINANCIAL PERFORMANCE<\/b><\/p> \nThe Group\u2019s consolidated revenue6<\/sup> for the first half of 2026 totalled \u20ac643.8 million<\/b>, an increase of \u20ac11.1 million.<\/p> \nThe Group generated advertising revenue of \u20ac520.4 million, up 0.1%<\/b> from the first half of 2025. Video advertising revenue came in at \u20ac454.5 million, up 1.0%,<\/b> with strong revenue growth of 8.7% in the second quarter<\/b>, driven by the Group\u2019s World Cup coverage, offsetting the first-quarter decline in advertising revenue<\/b>.<\/p> \nThe Group posted non-advertising revenue of \u20ac123.3 million, up \u20ac10.8 million, primarily reflecting strong performance related to the World Cup.<\/p> \nProgramming costs in the Video division came in at \u20ac321.2 million, up \u20ac68.2 million, reflecting the Group\u2019s coverage of the World Cup over the period.<\/p> \nConsolidated profit from recurring operations<\/b>7<\/sup> (EBITA)<\/b> totalled \u20ac54.4 million<\/b>. The decline compared with the first half of 2025 (-\u20ac51.6 million) reflects, in roughly equal parts, the investment in the broadcast of the World Cup and the decline in the advertising market.<\/p> \nNet financial income was down \u20ac3.3 million due to the cumulative impact of a fall in both interest rates and cash holdings.<\/p> \nThe Group\u2019s share of profit of equity-accounted entities improved by \u20ac5.4 million to a loss of \u20ac1.2 million, with Bedrock having reduced its operating loss.<\/p> \nLastly, net profit for the first half of 2026 came in at \u20ac34.4 million (down \u20ac23.5 million).<\/p> \nNet profit for the period attributable to the Group<\/b> was \u20ac36.3 million<\/b>.<\/p> \nPERFORMANCE BY DIVISION<\/b><\/p> \nIn accordance with

Video<\/b><\/p> \nAudience ratings<\/span><\/b><\/p> \nIn 2026, for the first time in its history, the M6 Group broadcast all free-to-air FIFA World Cup 2026TM<\/sup> matches, enabling it to achieve its best ever half-year performance among the commercial target audience of 25-49-year-olds. The audience share of M6 Group\u2019s four free-to-air channels (M6, W9, 6ter and Gulli) reached 22.0%8<\/sup><\/b> among 25\u201349-year-olds, an increase of 1.2pp<\/b>, representing the strongest growth in the market.<\/p> \nWith an audience share of 13.4%<\/b> among the same target demographic (up 0.8pp year on year), the M6<\/b> channel, which broadcast all free-to-air World Cup matches, enjoyed unprecedented popularity among the French public. As many as 60 million1<\/sup> French viewers, or more than 9 out of 10, followed the competition, helping the channel achieve record-breaking viewership. The channel thus recorded its ten highest viewership figures of the year to date, as well as its second highest ever audience, with 20.3 million viewers for the semi-final between France and Spain9<\/sup>.<\/p> \nIt also continued to draw French audiences to its flagship entertainment programmes such as Les Tra\u00eetres <\/i>(28% audience share) and Mari\u00e9s au premier regard <\/i>(26%), key events for the channel such as the Champions League final (46%) and the first television broadcast of the movie Un P\u2019tit Truc en plus (49%)<\/i>, and iconic early evening game shows (La Roue de la Fortune, Le Maillon Faible<\/i>)8<\/sup>.<\/p> \nW9,<\/b> 6ter and Gulli<\/b> achieved an aggregate audience share of 8.6% in the 25-49 commercial target<\/b>, a year-on-year increase of 0.4pp. Among these channels, W9 had its best ever half-year, achieving an audience share of 4.7% among 25-49s (up 1.0pp year on year10<\/sup>), making it the leading DTT channel ahead of TMC.<\/p> \nM6+ continues to grow:<\/b> 32.8 million French people11<\/sup> consume the M6 Group\u2019s streaming content each month (up 18%<\/b> year on year), with a 13%<\/b>8<\/sup> increase in the number of hours viewed over the same period.<\/p> \nPerformance<\/span><\/b><\/p> \nIn a still challenging advertising market, the Video division generated first-half 2026 advertising revenue of \u20ac454.5 million, up 1.0%<\/b> year on year. Reflecting the success of the Group\u2019s FIFA World Cup 2026TM <\/sup>coverage, this included a \u20ac19.9 million increase in the second quarter, offsetting the first-quarter decline in linear advertising revenue.<\/p> \nStreaming revenue12<\/sup><\/b> was up 19.9%<\/b> at \u20ac70.2 million, accounting for 13.3% of the Video division\u2019s total revenue<\/b> to 30 June 2026 (compared with 11.6% in the first half of 2025).<\/p> \nNon-advertising revenue for the Video division was up \u20ac17.8 million, primarily reflecting strong performance related to the World Cup.<\/p> \nThe Video division thus generated EBITA of \u20ac34.5 million<\/b> (compared with \u20ac84.4 million in the first half of 2025), including a \u20ac68 million increase in programming costs over the same period, which brought the operating margin to 6.6% over the six months to 30 June 2026.<\/b><\/p> \n2. Audio<\/b><\/p> \nThe Audio division achieved an audience share of 16.2%13<\/sup> among listeners aged 13+ during the April-June wave, up 0.3pp10 <\/sup>relative to the previous wave, maintaining its position as the leading commercial radio group<\/b>.<\/p> \nOver the first six months of the year, the Audio division\u2019s revenue totalled \u20ac70.3 million, down \u20ac3.8 million from the first half of 2025, driven by the decline in audio advertising business in Q2.<\/p> \nEBITA came in at \u20ac9.6 million<\/b>, down \u20ac5.5 million from the first half of 2025, reflecting the second-quarter decline in revenue and investment in programming costs. The<\/b> operating margin<\/b> therefore reached 13.6%.<\/b><\/p> \n3. Production and Audiovisual Rights<\/b><\/p> \nProduction & Audiovisual Rights revenue totalled \u20ac30.9 million, <\/b>down \u20ac3.8 million relative to the first half of 2025, reflecting in particular a weaker cinema business. Films distributed by SND generated 2.2 million admissions14<\/sup> in the first half of 2026 (including 0.9 million for Chers Parents<\/i>), compared with 2.9 million in the first half of 2025.<\/p> \nEBITA came in at \u20ac8.8 million<\/b>, down a modest \u20ac0.5 million from the first half of 2025, with the division once again achieving a high operating margin of 28.6%<\/b>, compared with 26.7% in the first half of 2025.<\/p> \n4. Diversification<\/b><\/p> \nRevenue from the Diversification segment totalled \u20ac15.1 million in the first half of 2026<\/b>, down \u20ac3.4 million, reflecting lower activity in the franchised estate agent network and the live entertainment business.<\/p> \nThe division posted EBITA of \u20ac3.7 million<\/b>, up \u20ac3.7 million, reflecting non-recurring income with no equivalent in the first half of 2025. Divisional operating<\/b> margin<\/b> stood at 24.2%.<\/b><\/p> \nOTHER INFORMATION<\/b><\/p> \nFinancial position<\/b><\/p> \nThe Group\u2019s shareholders\u2019 equity stood at \u20ac1,173.1 million at 30 June 2026, compared with \u20ac1,290.7 million at 31 December 2025.<\/p> \nThe overall change in cash was -\u20ac183.1 million, compared with a decline of \u20ac153.2 million in the first half of 2025, primarily reflecting the payment of a dividend of \u20ac1.25 per share (giving a total payout of \u20ac157.6 million) in May 2026.<\/p> \nIn the second half of 2026, cash flow will benefit from the positive impact of the World Cup.<\/p> \nCSR commitments<\/b><\/p> \nIn the second quarter of 2026, the M6 Group joined the Working with Cancer initiative, which now brings together more than 5,000 companies representing between 40 million and 50 million employees worldwide. This decision underscores the M6 Group\u2019s commitment to supporting its employees affected by cancer and helping improve practices in a more inclusive and responsible working world.<\/p> \nOUTLOOK<\/b><\/p> \nIn the second half of 2026, the M6 Group will continue to strengthen its entertainment offering to maintain the appeal of its channels.<\/b> Several new programme announcements were made throughout the World Cup broadcast period (Wanted : attrape-moi si tu peux<\/i>, Destination X<\/i>, Le proc\u00e8s : et si vous \u00e9tiez jur\u00e9?<\/i>, Les Tra\u00eetres Saison 7<\/i>) to capitalize on this historic event in terms of viewership and unprecedented exposure for advertisers.<\/p> \nThe M6 Group also intends to continue its careful cost management in a market environment that remains challenging. The Group will focus on gradually rolling out the M6 2030<\/b> plan announced during the presentation of the 2025 annual results, with the goal of generating \u20ac80 million in savings over the next five years<\/b>.<\/p> \nIt will also continue to implement its streaming plan<\/b>, reaffirming its goal of delivering streaming revenue above \u20ac200 million and 1 billion hours viewed on the M6+ platform in 2028<\/b>.<\/p> \nResults will be presented to financial analysts in a webcast starting <\/b>at 6.30 p.m. (CET) on 28 July 2026.<\/b><\/p> \nDetails on how to access the webcast are available at: https:\/\/www.groupem6.fr\/fr\/investisseurs\/information-reglementee\/presentation-des-resultats-semestriels-2026\/<\/a><\/p> \nBoth the slideshow presentation and the consolidated half-year financial statements will be accessible online from 6.00pm, it being specified that the Statutory Auditors have completed a limited review of the financial statements and issued an unqualified report.<\/p> \nThird quarter 2026 financial information on 3 November 2026 after close of trading<\/b><\/p> \nM6 M\u00e9tropole T\u00e9l\u00e9vision is listed on Euronext Paris, Compartment A.\n \n1<\/sup> Source: M\u00e9diam\u00e9trie \/ M\u00e9diamat - Cumulative audience, reach among viewers aged 4 and older (minimum 10 seconds of consecutive viewing) of \u201cWorld Cup\u201d matches and programmes.\n \nINVESTOR RELATIONS\u00a0<\/b>Myriam Pinot +33 (0)1 41 92 57 73 -\u00a0myriam.pinot@m6.fr<\/a> The M6 Group reaches a new dimension with the successful broadcast of the 2026 FIFA World Cup\u2122 among audiences and advertisersNEUILLY-SUR-SEINE, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News: Excep…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-infos-businesswire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46782"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46783,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46782\/revisions\/46783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stocks-future.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
