As part of its digital acceleration strategy, the TF1 group launched the TF1+ application, its new free streaming platform.
Reflecting the new ways in which video content is consumed, TF1+ offers French viewers a onestop news and entertainment destination with a premium offer of unifying, family-friendly programmes. Available on four screens (TV, PC, smartphone and tablet), TF1+ is accessible via boxes (Orange, Bouygues Telecom, Free and SFR from April 2024) and virtually all Smart TVs. The platform provides extended rights with series in full, not to mention a catalogue of more than 15,000 hours of premium programmes available free of charge.
TF1+ delivers never-before-seen functionalities in the free streaming space, including TOP CHRONO (real-time post-match highlights), TOP INFO (short daily segments on the day's main breaking news stories) and SYNCHRO (the first content recommendation engine in the world developed specifically to facilitate co-viewing).
TF1 broadcast Plus Belle La Vie, encore plus belle, after its lunchtime (1pm) news bulletin. This marks the third daily series shown on TF1 that is produced by Newen Studios. As a result, both entities reassert their unique expertise in managing strategic mass-scale projects and their positioning as key players in the buoyant creative industry. This undertaking is also an opportunity to generate strong synergies, directly impacting TF1's linear and digital audiences.
TF1 went live with its breakfast show Bonjour ! La Matinale TF1, presented by Bruce Toussaint and an all-new team of columnists. This breakfast show is the third most watched daily news programme on TF1, with an editorial stance to complement news bulletins and LCI, featuring
newscasts and special features on daily life, culture, lifestyle and trending topics.
The TF1 group and Free extend their partnership with a new global distribution agreement which gives Freebox subscribers access to the new free service TF1+.
Newen Studios announced a change in governance, which will take effect in April. Pierre Branco, former Country Manager of Warner Bros Discovery for France, Benelux and Africa, will join Newen Studios as CEO.
Rodolphe Belmer, the Chairman & CEO of the TF1 group, will be appointed Chairman of Newen Studios.
After an initial development phase, TF1 group's ambitions for Newen Studios remain as strong as ever. Pierre Branco's role will be to embed Newen as the leading European studio with French roots, and as the go-to partner for traditional broadcasters and media platforms in France and internationally.March
The TF1 group launches the fourth edition of Expertes à la Une. The programme seeks to increase the representation of women on the Group's news channels. Thanks to this proactive initiative, in 2023, the proportion of women experts featuring on TF1 news sets totalled 54%.
For an entire year, the 15 experts will have the opportunity to benefit from a mentoring programme and one-to-one coaching under the sponsorship of journalists, editors, and presenters from the TF1 and LCI news teams, including Gilles Bouleau, Anne-Claire Coudray and Marie-Sophie Lacarrau.
Samsung, the global-leading supplier of TVs, and the TF1 group extended their partnership, providing consumers with a more premiumised and personalised television experience than ever before. Through this partnership, consumers enjoy direct access via their Smart TVs to streaming services on TF1+, with top visibility enabled in the television interface and enhanced customisation enabling direct and easy access to their favourite content right from activation.
Kick-started in early 2024, TF1+ continues its development to ensure accessibility to all French people, in all viewing environments. The streaming platform now offers SFR subscribers (owning an SFR Box 7, SFR Box 8, or SFR Connect TV) free access to an unlimited catalogue of 15,000-plus hours of premium entertainment and news content at any given time.
The results below are presented using the new segmental reporting structure as presented in Note 3 "Operating segments" to the consolidated financial statements, and in accordance with IFRS 16.
The TF1 group's consolidated revenue totalled €511.9 million in the first quarter of 2024, a yearon-year increase of 6.7%, driven by growth in advertising revenue (up 6.6% compared with the same period in 2023).
At Newen Studios, revenue amounted to €58.8 million, down 3.0% year on year, but close to the figure for the first quarter of 2023 in absolute terms.
The Group's programming costs were €217.2 million, up €16.6 million due to premium programmes on linear channels and streaming, within a stronger advertising market and in the context of TF1+ launch.
As of the end of March 2024, other expenses, depreciation, and provisions amount to 257.4 million euros, which is higher compared to their level at the end of March 2023 (239.3 million euros). This increase is primarily driven by the Newen Studios sector due to more significant production in 2024 than in 2023.
Current operating profit from activities amounted to €37.3 million, close to the yearearlier figure (down €2.6 million). Current operating margin from activities was 7.3%, compared with 8.3% in the first quarter of 2023.

Those facilities were backed up by a cash pooling agreement with the Bouygues group.
As of 31 March 2024, drawdowns under those facilities amounted to €63 million, all of which related to Newen Studios.
Revenue in the Media segment totalled €453.1 million, up 8.1% year on year.
Advertising revenue in the Media segment amounted to €363.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, up 6.6%, driven by the return of most advertising sectors in linear and the launch of the new streaming platform TF1+.
Advertising revenue generated by TF1+ grew by 43.5% to €29.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, showing the platform's very positive reception in the market.
Non-advertising revenue in the Media segment totalled €89.8 million, up 14.5%, driven by music and interactive services.
Based on data from Kantar Media, gross revenue for the TF1 group's free-to-air channels for end-March 2024 was up 6.4% % versus end-March 2023.
The sector mix and the trends in gross advertising spend (excluding sponsorship) for Q1 2024 are shown in the following chart.


Current operating profit from activities in the Media segment came to €36.6 million. This includes specific costs related to TF1+ launch in the first quarter.
In a market environment characterised by the accelerated development in usage, 2024 saw the TF1 group hold a leading position through its ability to attract all audiences on a large scale both in linear and non-linear channels. In the first quarter of 2024, the TF1 group maintained an unrivalled reach, gathering more than 30 million1 French people every day.
In an environment involving a premium line-up at the start of this year, the TF1 group maintained its leadership and achieved the strongest results in the French audiovisual landscape, as demonstrated by the high audience levels, which were up on targets at end-March 2024:
TF1 delivered an excellent performance in the first quarter of 2024. The flagship channel strengthened its leadership in commercial targets, achieving a number of records: among W<50PDM, audience share was 23.5%, up 0.9 pt to increase the gap with its number-one competitor (+10.6 pts), and among 25-49-yearolds, audience share was 21.0%, up 1.3 pts (increasing the gap by +8.6 pts with its numberone competitor).

The new streaming platform TF1+, launched on 8 January 2024, got off to a very good start, due to its distinctive attributes: strong brand awareness, accessibility, visibility, attractive content and a user-friendly interface. TF1+ is a leader in terms of reach with 33 million streamers per month on average in the first quarter and 35 million in March, a new record, compared with 28 million streamers per month for MYTF1 in 2023.
In the first quarter of 2024, the platform recorded 285 million streamed hours (up 13% year on year) according to Médiamétrie, which includes environments where MYTF1 still exists, until TF1+ is made available on them.

TF1 group is partner to the Assemblée Citoyenne des Imaginaires. Since 28 March 2023, this initiative has encouraged French people to imagine and participate in writing the fiction and stories of tomorrow, with support from professional scriptwriters. The project was kickstarted by the French journalist and film director, Valérie Zoydo, developed in collaboration with ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency), and co-led by BlueNove, a consulting company pioneering collective intelligence, as well as the Atmosphères festival. Combining pedagogy, collective dreaming and entertainment, it aims to produce and develop scenarios inspired by citizens' ideas and sensibilities in an effort to address today's most pressing societal and environmental challenges. It includes national consultation sessions, co-writing workshops and meetings with professional scriptwriters.
The TF1 group teamed up with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for its 2023 Earth Hour, which was held on Saturday 25 March from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. During this symbolic event, iconic monuments, stadia and museums, as well as citizens, are encouraged to turn off their lights for one hour with the aim of recognising the impact of environmentally-conscious practices that are easy to replicate. At exactly 8:30 p.m., the logo and lighting of the Tour TF1 building were completely switched off.
To mark the 34th annual "Pièces Jaunes" campaign, Brigitte Macron appeared as a special guest on the TF1 evening news bulletin of 9 January 2024, (in her capacity as chair of the "Fondation des Hôpitaux" charity), to launch an appeal for donations to help children and adolescents undergoing hospital treatment and to connect families in hospitals.
The launch was backed by a range of connected news stories in TF1 bulletins; a comedy sketch starring Brigitte Macron and Didier Deschamps (the campaign's patron) alongside Camille Combal and Isabelle Nanty as well as reminders to donate across the Group's programmes and on social networks. Screenings of the campaign ad were also broadcast on TF1 and LCI over the full period of the campaign (11 January to 4 February).
TF1 also dedicated a special week of the 12 coups de midi quiz show to the appeal from 16 to 22 January, and on 13 January screened a one-off edition of the "Grand Concours" brain-teaser quiz in which TF1 presenters and journalists competed for prize money to be donated to the "Fondation des Hôpitaux" charity.
Once more, this year, TF1 group pledged its support to the Sidaction AIDS charity which featured on the Group's channels from 24 to 26 March 2024 with presenters and journalists appearing in awareness campaigns and charity appeal ads. During the Sidaction weekend, a number of news items were covered in the news bulletins hosted by Marie-Sophie Lacarrau, Gilles Bouleau and Anne-Claire Coudray, and ads calling for donations were broadcast on air and on the Group's social networks. From Monday 20 to Friday 24 March, TF1 also broadcast five short awareness campaigns spotlighting the stories of researchers, doctors and people affected by the virus. Moreover, the 12 coups de midi gameshow dedicated a special week to the charity, from 20 to 26 March 2024, in an endeavour to raise funds and fights AIDS.
From 30 January to 5 February 2024, the TF1 group rejoined forces with the #SportFémininToujours (#WomenSportForever) operation, which was first introduced by ARCOM (the French Audiovisual and Digital Advertising Regulator). To honour the initiative, the Group's channels focused on promoting women's sport and highlighting women representation in sport. Features included topics on women's sports in the TF1 lunchtime and weekend news bulletins, a documentary on Sakina Karchaoui, a women's football player who plays for Paris Saint-Germain football club and the French women's football team, shown on Téléfoot, a broadcast of the Vis ma Vie show and a report on women's sport on LCI. Throughout the operation, MYTF1 showed re-runs of the film Touchées, a work that addresses the difficulties experienced by a group of women victims of violence as they seek to rebuild their lives through sport.
To celebrate International Women's Day, the Group unveiled its third edition of the Expertes à la Une programme, developed by its News Division to increase the representation of women experts in news coverage on TF1 and LCI. This year's intake brings together 15 women professionals from wide-ranging sectors and features the writer and Académie Française member, Dominique Bona, as honorary patron. For an entire year, the 15 experts will have the opportunity to benefit from a mentoring programme under the sponsorship of journalists, editors, and presenters from the TF1 and LCI news teams, including Anne-Claire Coudray, Darius Rochebin and François Lenglet.
The Group renewed its support for the Moteur ! association's competition, whose 7th edition launched via TF1 on Monday 6 February 2024, in attendance from Oxmo Puccino, Chair of the Jury, and former Chair Agnès Jaoui. The competition encourages young people aged 14- 22 to use their smartphones and make a oneand-a-half minute film about someone they find inspiring, as a role model. Chaired this year by Oxmo Puccino, the Moteur! competition recognises 25 winners who will have the privilege of walking up the steps of the Festival de Cannes to receive the Clap d'or Moteur ! Award and participate in four days of workshops on eloquence, slam and body language at the Campus de la confiance. As a partner to the competition for the fifth consecutive year, the Group reaffirms its commitment through the Special TF1 Initiatives Award, which is sponsored by TF1 group presenter Anaïs Grangerac. Winners enjoy the added bonus of inspiring encounters with industry professionals, including journalists, presenters and producers. Their films will have the honour of being showcased on the TF1&Vous platform as well as the Group's social networks.
In celebration of the 34th Press and Media Week in Schools, the Group's News Division and the TF1 Foundation partnered with CLEMI (an agency of the French Ministry of Education responsible for media education across the education system) to co-ordinate events and actions intended for schools. As such, on 30 March, TF1 hosted the 8th edition of the "Rencontres de l'Info" which was attended by 150 secondary school students. The session was run by Christelle Chiroux, TF1's Deputy Head of News in charge of mediation and CSR, with a focus on two themes: explaining and interpreting the work of the teams in Ukraine since the start of the conflict with journalists who had returned from their assignments; and verifying the facts with "Les Vérificateurs" ("the Verifiers"). A live session was also hosted by Ange Noiret, LCI's weather presenter, to show the day-to-day work spaces for all the TF1 and LCI news teams which was broadcast on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and TF1 INFO. The editorial teams of TF1, LCI and TF1 INFO with the TF1 Foundation also collaborated with CLEMI to visit Clermont-Ferrand (south-central France) on 16 January for a special meeting between pupils from three schools in the region and journalists to discuss the theme "How should the environmental transition be reported in our news programming?".
As of 31 March 2024, the TF1 group had 2,975 employees on permanent contracts.
The Group's ambition is to establish itself as the go-to free-to-air destination on the TV screen for news and family entertainment in Frenchspeaking markets.
The Group's strategic priorities are:
In the Media segment, 2024 will be a defining year for the Group's transformation.
In terms of programming, some strong franchises are set to return in the second quarter, such as Secret Story, Mask Singer and HPI, which are all serialised programmes with strong linear and non-linear potential. A key event in 2024 will be the UEFA EURO 2024 tournament, which TF1 will broadcast starting in June, providing attractive premium content to advertisers.
In digital, the Group will also add pioneering features to TF1+ in the second quarter, such as SYNCHRO, a recommendation engine designed to make it easier to select streaming content for co-viewing. TF1+ will also take advantage of the UEFA EURO 2024 tournament broadcast to launch a new, AI-enhanced version of TOP
CHRONO, providing custom post-match highlights.
After its very promising start in France, where it has achieved high visitor numbers and usage figures, TF1+ will expand into new markets, moving into Belgium and Luxembourg from June. TF1+ will be rolled out across other territories in the following months and aims to become the leading free streaming platform for French speakers worldwide.
The Group will continue to invest in data and advertising technologies (ad tech) to offer the best possible experience to audiences and the best services to advertisers.
On the production side, Newen Studios will capitalise in 2024 on its track record to deliver prestigious productions such as the second season of Marie-Antoinette for Canal+. Following the launch of Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle on TF1, TFX and TF1+, Newen Studios will continue to strengthen its synergies with the Media segment.
In this context, the Group's outlook for 2024 is the following:
At the Annual General Meeting of 17 April 2024, shareholders (i) reappointed SCDM and Bouygues as Directors, each for a three-year term; (ii) appointed Marie-Aude Morel as Director representing employee shareholders for a three-year term; and (iii) recorded the appointments of Sophie Leveaux and Yoann Saillon as Directors representing employees, each for a three-year term.
Members of TF1's Board of Directors who do not represent employees now include three independent directors - i.e. a proportion of 37.5%, above the percentage recommended by
the AFEP-MEDEF code - and half of the Board's seats are held by women (not including the two Directors representing employees and the Director representing employee shareholders).
These dates may be subject to change.
The statutory auditors have conducted a review of the financial statements, on which they have issued an unqualified report.

No significant events were identified during the reporting period.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2024 include the financial statements of TF1 SA and its subsidiaries and joint ventures, and the TF1 group's interests in associated undertakings. They were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", a standard issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union. Because they are condensed, these financial statements do not include all the information required under the standards issued by the IASB, and should be read in conjunction with the full-year financial statements of the TF1 group for the year ended 31 December 2023 as presented in the Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on 12 March 2024 as no. D.24-0098.
They were prepared in accordance with the standards issued by the IASB as endorsed by the European Union and applicable as of 30 June 2023. Those standards (collectively referred to as "IFRS") comprise International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs); International Accounting Standards (IASs); and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC), the successor body to the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC). As of 31 March 2024, the TF1 group has not early adopted any standard or interpretation not yet endorsed by the European Union.
The financial statements are presented in millions of euros and comprise the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of recognised income and expense, the statement of changes in shareholders' equity, the cash flow statement, and the notes to the financial statements.
The TF1 group applied the same standards, interpretations and accounting policies in the three months ended 31 March 2024 as were applied in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, except for changes required to meet new IFRS requirements applicable with effect from 1 January 2024 (see below).
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback – Amendment to IFRS 16
On 22 September 2022 the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 16 on the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of the rightto-use asset and lease liability in a sale and leaseback.
This amendment was endorsed by the European Union on 20 November 2023, and has an immaterial impact on the Group.
Between January 2020 and October 2022 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 relating to classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent, in cases where the liability is subject to covenants or is a convertible debt instrument.
These amendments were endorsed by the European Union on 19 December 2023, and have an immaterial impact on the Group.
Supplier Finance Arrangements – Amendment to IAS 7 and IFRS 7
On 25 May 2023 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 relating to disclosures on the effects of supplier finance arrangements (such as reverse factoring) on an entity's financial position, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. This amendment has no impact on the Group.
The Group has not made any changes in accounting policy during 2024 to date.
Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires the TF1 group to make various estimates and use various assumptions regarded as realistic or reasonable. Subsequent events or circumstances may result in changes to those estimates or assumptions, which could affect the value of the Group's assets, liabilities, equity or net profit.
The principal accounting policies requiring the use of estimates are:
Those estimates were made using the same valuation approaches as were used in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. As of the date on which the financial statements were closed off by the Board of Directors, management believes that as far as possible, those estimates incorporate all information available to it.
Advertising revenues are traditionally lower in January/February and July/August than during the rest of the year. The extent of those seasonal fluctuations varies from year to year. As required under IFRS, revenue for interim periods is recognised on the same basis as is used in preparing the annual financial statements.
TF1 organises its operating activities into strategic business units, each of which is managed appropriately to the nature of the products and services sold. This segmentation serves as the basis for the presentation of internal management data, and is also used by the Group's operating decision-maker to monitor performance. The operating segments reported by the Group are those reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker.
Management assesses segmental performance on the basis of current operating profit. Segmental results, assets and liabilities include items directly or indirectly attributable to the relevant segment. Segmental capital expenditure represents total acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as recognised in the corresponding balance sheet line items. Inter-segment sales and transfers are conducted on an arm's length basis.
The Media segment includes all of the Group's TV channels and content creation activities, and subsidiaries that produce and acquire audiovisual rights for the Group's TV channels in line with French broadcasting industry regulations. Revenues from such activities derive
mainly from the sale of advertising space through individually-negotiated space-buying deals and programmatic ad sale auctions; they also include revenue from making content and services from the Group's TV channels available to cable, satellite and ADSL operators, and from interactivity embedded within broadcast programmes.
The Media segment also includes entertainment activities (music, live shows, licences, artist support) that add value to the Group's audiovisual content.
This segment comprises content subsidiaries whose activities are primarily focused on producing, acquiring, developing and distributing audiovisual rights (films, drama, TV movies, cartoons, documentaries, unscripted shows, etc) for exploitation independently of the Group's broadcasting operations.
Revenues are derived from fees for the sale of broadcasting rights and all other exploitation rights in France or internationally.

Since 2023, the TF1 group has published a new indicator, "Current operating profit from activities" (COPA). This represents current operating profit before amortisation and impairment of intangible assets recognised in acquisitions.
TF1 group consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2024 breaks down as follows:

There were no material exchanges of goods or services in 2024 to date or in 2023, and there is no material revenue that is contingent on
a performance obligation that pre-dates the current reporting period.
The increase in net other current operating income (€68.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, versus €42.2 million in the first quarter of 2023) relates mainly to Newen Studios (impact €23.0 million), reflecting a higher level of productions in progress in 2024 than in 2023.
In accordance with the revised IFRS 3 the TF1 group has, for acquisitions made during the period, elected not to remeasure the noncontrolling interests at fair value, as a result of which only the share of goodwill attributable to the Group is reported in the balance sheet (partial goodwill method).

(1) As of 31 March 2024 (as in 2023), Salto was financed essentially through current account advances from its shareholders (effectively quasi-equity). Consequently, the advance to Salto is recognised as an investment in a joint venture to the extent of Salto's net loss for the period, with the balance recognised in "Non-current financial assets".s
"Net surplus cash/(net debt)" is obtained by aggregating the following items:
"Net surplus cash/(net debt)" as reported by the TF1 group excludes non-current and current lease obligations.

As stated in Note 7-3-3 ("Current provisions") to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, provisions are recorded when there is a legal or constructive obligation to a third party arising from a past event, the obligation will certainly or probably result in an outflow of resources with no corresponding inflow of resources for the Group, and the amount of the outflow can be measured reliably. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and adjusted where necessary to reflect the best estimate of the obligation as of that date.
As stated in Note 1 ("Significant events") to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group embarked during 2023 on a digital acceleration strategy accompanied by a resource optimisation plan, which has resulted in the recognition of a provision for a new agreement on jobs and career management ("Gestion des Emplois et des Parcours Professionnels" – GEPP).
The amount of the provision as of 31 March 2024 represents the best estimate of the Group's obligation, and has been adjusted to reflect the actual uptake of the plan by employees during the period.
As of 31 March 2024, there have been no material changes in respect of the litigation described in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, except that 29 March 2024 the Canal+ group filed a claim against TF1 in the Paris Judicial Court in respect of the use of the TF1+ trademark on the launch of the new streaming platform, and seeking damages of €57 million for infringement and reputational damage in respect of the "+" trademark, unfair competition, and as a subsidiary claim, passingoff. The TF1 group is contesting this claim.
Non-current provisions as of 31 March 2024 mainly comprise provisions for retirement benefit obligations.
As explained in Note 7.4.6 ("Non-current provisions") to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, provisions for retirement benefit obligations are calculated using the projected unit credit method. This calculation is sensitive to assumptions regarding the discount rate, the salary inflation rate and the staff turnover rate.
The expense recognised during the period for lump-sum retirement benefits represents a pro rata allocation of the estimated full-year expense, calculated on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and forecasts prepared as of 31 December 2023.
As of 31 March 2024, the assumptions used for the discount rate, salary inflation rate and staff turnover rate were the same as those used as of 31 December 2023.
