Revenue for Q3 2023 

At constant scope and exchange rates, the Group’s revenue for the third quarter of 2023 totalled 3,196 million euros, down 7%:

• Oil Logistics: 668 million euros, -32% owing to the decrease in oil product prices and the decline in volumes sold;
• Communications (Vivendi): 2,425 million euros, +3% benefiting from the strong performances of Groupe Canal+ (+5%) and Havas (+6%);
• Industry: 85 million euros, +18% thanks to the completion of a storage stationary project.

On a reported basis, revenue was down 6% (-217 million euros) compared with the third quarter 2022, with negative foreign exchange impacts (-26 million euros) and a favourable scope effect (+46 million euros).

Revenue at the end of September 2023

At constant scope and exchange rates, the Group’s revenue as of September 30, 2023 was down 4% at 9,426 million euros.

On a reported basis, revenue for the first nine months of the year decreased 4%, taking into account +96 million euros in changes in scope (in particular the integration of Sicarbu acquired by Bolloré Energy, as well as initial consolidations at Vivendi) and -26 million euros in foreign exchange impacts resulting from the appreciation of the euro, mainly against the pound sterling and the US dollar.

At constant scope and exchange rates, the main sectors evolved as follows compared to the first nine months of 2022:

• Oil Logistics:

Bolloré Energy’s revenue came out at 2,022 million euros, down 22% due to lower oil product prices, which had reached record levels after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, and lower volumes sold.

• Communications:

Revenue amounted to 7,121 million euros, up 3% at constant scope and exchange rates compared to the same period in 2022. This increase can be attributed primarily to Groupe Canal+, which posted significant growth of 3%, notably owing to the sharp increase in Studiocanal and the increase in pay television in France, and to growth at Havas (+5%), supported by the rise of all its divisions.

• Industry:

Revenue from industrial activities amounted to 233 million euros (electricity storage, films, dedicated terminals and systems), down 16% compared with the first nine months of 2022.

This decrease resulted mainly from a decline in the sales of batteries and bus, as well as those of Films. However, specialized Terminals and Polyconseil posted growth.
