As previously announced, consolidated revenue is down on the previous financial year with 10 films released in French cinemas, as compared with 12 in 2007/2008. This has been partly compensated by a good performance in cinema, international sales and TV sales

  • Television and catalogue-related revenue is increasing
  • Video sales is seeing the effect of the previous financial year's line-up
  • There are no one-off projects for this financial year (2007/2008 included line production of Hitman for an international studio)

Evolution in revenue by quarter

2008/2009: Consolidated revenue has decreased in comparison with the previous financial year with 10 films released in French cinemas as against 12 in 2007/2008, but the majority of strategic activities are increasing: Cinema, international sales and TV sales

  • The distribution activity in French cinemas is increasing by more than 40% compared with the previous financial year reflecting the Group's successful films during the financial year;
  • DVD and VoD sales are down, considering the previous financial year's exceptional line-up;
  • International sales have increased by 11% which confirms EuropaCorp's know-how in relation to the conception and production of films which meet the expectations of worldwide audiences;
  • Television sales have, for their part, increased by 24%, which is a sign of the dynamism of the EuropaCorp productions in this market and the strength of its business relationships with the major television groups.
  • The "other activities" heading does not include any one-off projects for this financial year, in particular related to the line production by EuropaCorp. Indeed, the line production of the film Hitman was included under the heading of "other activities" for the previous financial year.
