CTS EVENTIM: PROFITABLE GROWTH IN THE THIRD QUARTER

  • e The Group's adjusted EBITDA rises by 13.8%, revenue climbs by 3.5% – despite non-recurring positive effects in the prior-year period
  • e The adjusted EBITDA margin in the Ticketing segment increases yet again, reaching 43.1% in the third quarter against a backdrop of revenue growth
  • e Klaus-Peter Schulenberg, CEO, CTS EVENTIM: "Our performance in the third quarter illustrates once again that we are not only growing but also creating long-term value. We are benefitting from continually modernising our technological infrastructure, significantly optimising our processes and making progress with the integration of our acquisitions."

CTS EVENTIM, Europe's leading provider of ticketing services and live entertainment, ranked number two in the world, generated further profitable growth in the third quarter – despite the challenging economic conditions in Germany. Both revenue and earnings went up year on year, even though the results for the third quarter of 2024 had been boosted by temporary factors.

Profitability improved in the third quarter of 2025: The EBITDA margin was higher than in the prior-year period, even without adjusting for the ongoing integration effects for the ticketing and live entertainment companies acquired in 2024. Growing synergies and concerted efforts to manage costs throughout the Group were further contributory factors. The financial result in the third quarter was positive and thus improved year on year. In the first nine months of the year, financial result and expenses continued to be affected by the development in the first two quarters.

In the third quarter of 2025, consolidated Group revenue increased by 3.5% year on year to EUR 854.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose at a faster rate, surging by 13.8% to EUR 137.3 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 16.1% (previous year: 14.6%). In the first three quarters of 2025, revenue advanced by 6.0% compared with the prioryear period to EUR 2.148 billion. Adjusted EBITDA swelled by 4.7% to EUR 337.9 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin came to 15.7% (previous year: 15.9%)

The Ticketing segment maintained its growth trajectory even though the third quarter of 2024 had been boosted by non-recurring revenue, for example in connection with the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. In the third quarter of 2025, revenue in the Ticketing segment went up by 2.1% compared with the prior-year period to EUR 211.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the period July to September climbed by 8.1% compared with the third quarter of 2024, reaching EUR 91.0 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin came to 43.1% (previous year: 40.7%). In the period January to September 2025, revenue in the Ticketing segment rose by 11.0% year on year to EUR 626.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA advanced by 7.1% to EUR 257.8 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 41.1% (previous year: 42.6%).

The Live Entertainment segment significantly improved its profitability in the third quarter. Revenue increased by 5.5% and adjusted EBITDA by 27.0% compared with the prior-year period. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA in the first half of the year (-26.1%) was therefore almost entirely cancelled out in the nine-month period.In the third quarter of 2025, revenue in the Live Entertainment segment rose year on year to EUR 663.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 46.3 million in the third quarter. As a result, the adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 7.0% (previous year: 5.8%). In the first three quarters of 2025, the Live Entertainment segment's revenue went up by 4.2% year on year to EUR 1.557 billion. Adjusted EBITDA came to EUR 80.0 million, which was almost at the level of the prior-year period. Thanks to a strong third quarter, the adjusted EBITDA margin for the first nine months of 2025 was 5.1% and thus only slightly lower than the figure for the corresponding period of 2024 of 5.5%.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

REVENUE PERFORMANCE

Revenue in the Ticketing segment increased from EUR 564,730 thousand by EUR 62,052 thousand to EUR 626,781 thousand. This was primarily driven by a jump of 27.6 million in retail ticket volume to 121.3 million (previous year: 93.7 million) as well as by the change in the scope of consolidation.

In the Live Entertainment segment, revenue rose from EUR 1,493,993 thousand by EUR 63,418 thousand to EUR 1,557,410 thousand. The revenue growth was largely due to a greater number of events and festivals as well as due to the change in the scope of consolidation.

In the CTS Group, revenue across the two segments therefore went up by EUR 120,872 thousand from EUR 2,027,474 thousand to EUR 2,148,346 thousand.

In the period under review there were no non-recurring items. In the prior-year period EBITDA of the CTS Group was impacted due to non-recurring items in the Ticketing segment amounting to EUR 7,948 thousand from legal and consulting fees in connection with M&A activities and due diligence reviews.

In the Ticketing segment, adjusted EBITDA rose from EUR 240,746 thousand by EUR 17,083 thousand to EUR 257,828 thousand. The main reason for the year-on-year improvement in earnings was the growth in retail ticket volume, both in Germany and abroad, particularly due to the change in the scope of consolidation. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 41.1% (previous year: 42.6%). The EBITDA increased by EUR 25,030 thousand to EUR 257,828 thousand (previous year: EUR 232,798 thousand) as compared to the same period last year. The EBITDA margin fell to 41.1% (previous year: 41.2%).

In the Live Entertainment segment, adjusted EBITDA decreased by EUR 2,047 thousand from EUR 82,068 thousand to EUR 80,022 thousand. The decrease was predominantly attributable to higher preproduction costs and expenses for staging events and the change in the scope of consolidation. The adjusted EBITDA margin thus decreased to 5.1% (previous year: 5.5%). The EBITDA decreased by EUR 2,047 thousand to EUR 80,022 thousand (previous year: EUR 82,068 thousand) and the EBITDA margin fell to 5.1% (previous year: 5.5%).

Adjusted CTS Group EBITDA climbed by EUR 15,036 thousand to EUR 337,850 thousand (previous year: EUR 322,814 thousand) and the adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 15.7% (previous year: 15.9%). The EBITDA increased by EUR 22,984 thousand to EUR 337,850 thousand (previous year: EUR 314,866 thousand) and the EBITDA margin rose to 15.7% (previous year: 15.5%).

FINANCIAL RESULT

The financial result decreased by EUR 46,311 thousand from EUR 43,358 thousand to EUR -2,953 thousand. The decrease mainly results from negative effects from foreign currency translation of non-current receivables due to the translation from USD in EUR (EUR -11,941 thousand), lower investment income from associates accounted for using the equity method (EUR -20,088 thousand) and lower interest income of EUR 15,152 thousand.

EARNINGS BEFORE TAXES (EBT) / NET RESULT FOR THE PERIOD ATTRIBUTABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS OF CTS KGaA / EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

In the reporting period, EBT decreased from EUR 291,395 thousand by EUR 30,802 thousand to EUR 260,593 thousand. After deduction of tax expenses and non-controlling interests, net result for the period attributable to shareholders of CTS KGaA amounted to EUR 149,489 thousand (previous year: EUR 181,409 thousand). EPS was below the previous year level at EUR 1.56 (previous year: EUR 1.89).

PERSONNEL

Compared to the previous year, personnel expenses in the CTS Group increased from EUR 227,993 thousand by EUR 38,473 thousand to EUR 266,466 thousand. The increase in personnel expenses relates to the Live Entertainment segment with EUR 7,656 thousand and the Ticketing segment with EUR 30,817 thousand. The personnel expenses increased mainly due to the change in the scope of consolidation.

On average, the companies in the CTS Group had a total of 5,007 employees (previous year: 4,952 employees) including temporary staff on their payroll. Of that total, 2,953 are employed in the Ticketing segment (previous year: 2,793 employees) and 2,054 in the Live Entertainment segment (previous year: 2,159 employees). The increase in the Ticketing segment results primarily due to the expansion of the scope of consolidation, while the reduction in the number of employees in the Live Entertainment segment results primarily from a lower number of temporary staff.

FINANCIAL POSITION

CHANGES IN ASSETS

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 498,887 thousand compared to 31 December 2024. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents mainly results from a reduction of ticket money received that has not yet been settled with promoters in the Ticketing segment, dividend payments made in the second quarter 2025 amounting to EUR 159,346 thousand and advances paid for the construction of the ARENA MILANO in Italy.

Cash and cash equivalents include, among other things, ticket money from presales for events to be held in subsequent quarters (ticket money not yet settled with promoters, particularly in the Ticketing segment), which are reported under other financial liabilities in the amount of EUR 835,625 thousand (31 December 2024: EUR 1,040,122 thousand). Other financial assets also include receivables relating to ticket money from presales mainly in the Ticketing segment amounting to EUR 24,135 thousand (31 December 2024: EUR 43,312 thousand).

Marketable securities and other investments decreased by EUR 50,709 thousand, particularly due to the maturity of term deposits, commercial papers and bearer bonds.

The increase of the current advances paid (EUR +56,829 thousand) relates to preproduction costs already paid (e.g. artist fees) for future events in the Live Entertainment segment.

The reduction in current other financial assets (EUR -36,518 thousand) is mainly due to lower ticket money receivables from presales (EUR -16,427 thousand) and the payment of a purchase price for the acquisition of the See Tickets Group in the Ticketing segment (EUR -15,500 thousand).

The increase in current other non-financial assets (EUR +29,642 thousand) is mainly due to higher VAT receivables.

Property, plant and equipment (EUR +134,722 thousand) increased mainly due to advances paid for the construction of the ARENA MILANO in Italy.

The increase in non-current other financial assets (EUR +45,132 thousand) is mainly due to advances paid in connection with the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.

CHANGES IN EQUITY AND LIABILITIES

The current trade payables increased by EUR 78,040 thousand mainly due to festivals and events held in the Live Entertainment segment.

The decrease in current advance payments received by EUR 49,782 thousand is mainly due to execution of events in the reporting period in the Live Entertainment segment.

Current other financial liabilities decreased by EUR 192,828 thousand mainly due to the reduction in liabilities of ticket money that have not yet been settled with promoters in the Ticketing segment.

NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES decreased by EUR 43,566 thousand mainly due to a reduction in long-term advance payments received in the Live Entertainment segment and of liabilities in ticket money that have not yet been settled with promoters in the Ticketing segment.

Equity decreased by EUR 51,517 thousand from EUR 1,182,535 thousand to EUR 1,131,017 thousand, primarily because of the dividend payment in the amount of EUR 159,346 thousand in the second quarter 2025 to shareholders, which is offset by a positive result for the period of EUR 149,489 thousand.

CASH FLOW

The amount of cash and cash equivalents shown in the cash flow statement corresponds to the cash and cash equivalents stated in the balance sheet. Compared to the closing date of 31 December 2024, cash and cash equivalents declined by EUR 498,887 thousand to EUR 1,019,715 thousand. In comparison with the closing date at 30 September 2024, cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 81,017 thousand.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to a net cash outflow of EUR 145,611 thousand a reduction of EUR -7,740 thousand compared with EUR 153,351 thousand in the prior-year period. This was mainly due to a reduction in ticket money liabilities not yet settled with promoters in the Ticketing segment and an increase in advances paid for future events in the Live Entertainment segment.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to a net cash outflow of EUR 130,871 thousand, which was EUR 227,221 thousand higher than the net cash inflow of EUR 96,350 thousand in the prior-year period. The change results primarily due to lower cash inflows from maturing securities and other investments and higher advances paid for the construction of the ARENA MILANO. Furthermore, in the prior-year period, cash outflows in connection with the acquisition of the See Tickets Group led to a negative cash flow effect.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to a net cash outflow of EUR 208,448 thousand, an increase of EUR 182,143 thousand compared with the net cash outflow EUR 26,304 thousand in the first nine months of 2024. The change results primarily from the taking out of a short-term working capital line and the use of the syndicated credit line in the previous year period amounting to EUR 184,000 thousand as well as a higher dividend payment to shareholders and non-controlling interests.

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

No further reportable events occurred after the balance sheet date.

RISK AND OPPORTUNITY REPORT

At the time of the preparation of the Group quarterly statement, the Management Board does not assume that CTS KGaA or the CTS Group are exposed to any risks that threaten their continued existence as a going concern. However, it cannot be ruled out that additional factors will emerge in the future, which are not yet known or currently rated as immaterial, and which could jeopardise the continued existence of CTS KGaA or the CTS Group as a going concern.

MARKET RISKS

The Group's business activities, particularly in the Live Entertainment segment, depend significantly on the ability of CTS Group promoters to offer and deliver a diverse range of artist shows and entertainment products. For a few select events – primarily in the international arena – potential delays are emerging. Accordingly, the market-related risks are being reclassified from low to medium.

Beyond that, the statements made in the risk and opportunity report of the half-year report 2025 remain valid.

OUTLOOK

At the time of reporting, there are no significant changes to the statements on the expected development of CTS KGaA and the CTS Group in the Annual Report 2024. Based on the robust growth of both segments in the third quarter, the Executive Board continues to adhere to the outlook for the entire Group for the full year 2025 as set out in the 2024 Annual Report.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Group quarterly statement contains forecasts based on assumptions and estimates by the corporate management of CTS KGaA. These statements based on assumptions and estimates are in the form of forwardlooking statements using terms such as 'believe', 'assume', 'expect' and the like. Even though corporate management believes that these assumptions and estimates are correct, it is possible that actual results in the future may deviate materially from such assumptions and estimates due to a variety of factors. The latter may include changes in the macroeconomic environment, in the statutory and regulatory framework in Germany and the EU, and changes within the industry. CTS KGaA does not provide any guarantee or accept any liability or responsibility for any divergence between future developments and actual results, on the one hand, and the assumptions and estimates expressed in this Group quarterly statement. CTS KGaA has no intention and undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements in order to adjust them to actual events or developments occurring after the date of this report.

The consolidated financial statements are denominated in Euro. All amounts in the Group quarterly statement are rounded to thousand Euros. This may lead to minor deviations in addition.

The Group quarterly statement is also available in German. The German version of the Group quarterly statement takes priority over the English translation in the event of any discrepancies. Both language versions can be downloaded on the internet at corporate.eventim.de.
