The Group's revenue for the first quarter totalled 20.4 million Euros, compared with 26.9 million Euros in the first quarter of the previous financial year, which, amongst others included €18.2 million of revenue from French television sales associated with the opening of seven major broadcast windows.
The first quarter revenue figures for 2009/2010 are essentially made up of:
The Group would like to remind one that its revenue is tied to the release schedule of its films in their various forms, a schedule that can result in significant variations in revenue per segment of activity from one quarter or one half to the next. Revenue recorded over a quarter or half therefore has little bearing on annual revenue.
Regarding the film release schedule for the second quarter which closes on 30 September 2009, the Group expects that the revenue for the half-year will be reduced, notably due to the small number of films released during this period.
Despite this 1st half-year, the Group's revenue outlook for the whole financial year 2009/2010 is up, mainly due to several films with high potential due to be released in France and abroad during the second half-year.
