  • Non-current expenses (with no cash-flow impact) on the 2014 consolidated accounts of 35,8** M€

The NRJ Group's Board of Directors met on December 18, 2014 to approve the group's consolidated budget for 2015. On this occasion, the new Managing Director for the Television division, Vincent Broussard*, provided an update on the division's recent results and, at the request of the general management, presented an ambitious editorial project to gain audience for the NRJ 12 and Chérie 25 channels.

The Board of directors approved this editorial strengthening decision.

Editorially, the objective is as follows:

  • NRJ 12 :
  • Build up more of a statutory channel positioning
  • Strengthen the image of NRJ 12
  • Target a wider audience around programs that unify different audience groups
  • Focus on strategic slots: Access Prime Time and Prime Time
  • Strengthen the development of digital by intensifying the monetizing of our content

- Chérie 25 :

  • Focus the offer along two lines: magazines/documentaries and cinema/fiction

For financial year 2014, a non-current depreciation of €35.8** million for program stocks which no longer meet the audience objectives of the TV division will be recorded.

Jean Paul Baudecroux, Chief Executive Officer of the NRJ Group, said: "I am convinced the Television division has the potential to succeed with the backing of the solid fundamentals of the NRJ Group. With this ambitious editorial project, the Television division will be able to strengthen its positioning and win over the loyalty of a wider audience thanks to ramping up of some of its iconic programs (its own unique, differentiated trademark brands) and the purchase of new programs which will offer recognized brands and a capacity to to bring people together. The group has always been inventive and innovative and is today devoting all its efforts to meeting its medium term objective: to return the Television division's operations to break-even."
