The TF1 group's consolidated revenue amounted to €1,103 million in the first half of 2025, stable year on year (- €1 million). The slight decrease in the Media segment (revenue down 0.9% year on year to €975 million) was offset by an increase at Studio TF1 (up 6.4% year on year to €128 million), driven by the contribution of Johnson Production Group (JPG).
Current operating profit from activities (COPA) amounted to €131 million, up €2 million year on year. Margin from activities rose by 0.2 points to 11.9%.
Operating profit totalled €119 million, up €4 million year on year. That figure includes €7 million in amortisation charges relating to intangible assets arising from the JPG acquisition, and €5 million in non-recurring expenses relating to the Group's digital acceleration plan.
Net profit attributable to the Group excluding exceptional tax surcharge was €93 million, close to the level of last year. The €3 million change was mainly related to the year-on-year decrease in financial income due to lower market interest rates.
The impact of the French 2025 Finance Bill was €14 million in the first half of 2025, of which €10 million related to the exceptional contribution with respect to 2024 (recognised in the first quarter of 2025).
Net cash amounted to €473 million at end-June 2025, up €26 million year on year.
• Audience ratings1
In the first half of 2025, the TF1 channel benefited from the return of major entertainment franchises (Dancing with the Stars, Koh-Lanta and Secret Story) and the hit series HPI (peak audience of 7.8 million), successful new dramas such as Carpe Diem (peak audience of 6.0 million for the first episode) and the French football team's good performance in the UEFA Nations League tournament (6.6 million viewers for the semi-final match between Spain and France). As a result, TF1 maintained its leadership across all targets. 2
The TF1 channel also maintained a significant lead over its main commercial competitor:
The Group's news offering performed very well, with TF1's 1pm and 8pm news bulletins keeping a significant lead over their nearest rivals, while the morning show Bonjour ! became France's third most popular morning show and will be extended by 30 minutes starting in September.
In addition, for its first month on channel 15 following the renumbering of DTT channels that took effect on 6 June, LCI recorded its highest audience share for two years, reaching 2.4% in the 4+ target.
1 Médiamétrie television and video consumption data

Capitalising in particular on TF1's premium linear programming, TF1+ attracted 35 million streamers per month on average in the first half of 2025, and hit a new monthly record of 39 million streamers in June. Overall, streamers watched 559 million hours of content on TF1+ in the first half of 2025 according to Médiamétrie, 1.4 times the figure achieved by the second-ranked platform. Based on site-centric figures3 , consumption rose by 11% year on year.
Nevertheless, TF1+4 confirmed its appeal for advertisers and maintained its strong growth momentum (revenue was up 45.0% year on year in the second quarter) to reach €92 million in the first half.
Consequently, as these two businesses were available for sale at 30 June 2025, all of their assets and liabilities were classified under "Held-for-sale assets and operations" and "Liabilities related to held-for-sale operations" on the balance sheet, in accordance with IFRS 5, in amounts of €168 million and €133 million respectively.
That recognition does not affect the key TF1 group financial indicators presented above.
3 Including all streaming usage not covered by Médiamétrie (specific AVOD content, aggregated content, consumption outside France) / Excluding Live / Excluding Canal+, Molotov and telco OTT apps
4 For information, TF1+'s advertising revenue does not include revenue from segmented TV, TF1+ Premium subscriptions or TF1Info.fr 5 Independent music label (producing music, concerts and live shows) and music publisher, controlled and 42% owned by the TF1 group

• Studio TF1's revenue totalled €128 million in the first half of 2025, up 6.4% year on year. It included an €11 million contribution from JPG, where activity is mostly skewed to year-end.
Excluding JPG, Studio TF1's first-half revenue was broadly stable year on year. It was supported in particular by the launch of the new soap Tout pour la lumière (All for Light), the production of the Flemish version of Dancing with the Stars, the delivery of documentary series De rockstar à tueur : Le cas Cantat (From Rock Star to Killer) to Netflix; and the theatrical releases of the films Jouer avec le feu (The Quiet Son) and Avignon.
• In the first half of 2025, Studio TF1 generated a current operating profit from activities of €6 million, up €2 million year on year, despite the cost of setting up a new ERP7 system in the first quarter. Studio TF1's margin from activities rose by 5.0 points year on year to 10.2% in the second quarter of 2025.
At 30 June 2025, the TF1 group had a solid financial position, with net cash of €473 million, up €26 million year on year.
The group's net cash position was higher than at 31 December 2024 (€506 million), reflecting free cash flow of €86 million before WCR and €97 million after WCR in the first half, along with TF1's dividend payment of €127 million in April.
At a time when video consumption habits are changing rapidly, the Group's ambition is to establish itself as the primary premium destination on TV screens for family entertainment and quality news in French.
The Group's strategic priorities are to:
In the Media segment, the TF1 group will continue to offer the best array of free, family-oriented and serialised entertainment. In particular, the second half of 2025 will see the return of major franchises such as Star Academy and the final episodes of the hit series HPI. Ambitious new dramas will be launched on TF1 and TF1+, such as Montmartre and Été 36.
In addition to the Women's Euro 2025 football tournament, the Group will also broadcast the year's other main sporting event, the Women's Rugby World Cup.
6 Formerly Newen Studios
7 Enterprise resource planning

After launching TF1+ in January 2024 and having positioned it in the advertising market as a premium alternative to YouTube, the Group is entering the second phase of its strategic plan. The first key aspect of this new phase is the launch of a new form of monetisation on TF1+ involving micropayments starting in September 2025.
Users will be able to take advantage of new features giving them à la carte access to a wide range of high-quality works and content, without ad breaks, in return for a small payment.
The second key aspect involves extending the distribution of the Group's content, as illustrated by the first-of-its-kind agreement signed with Netflix. From summer 2026, all Netflix subscribers in France will be able to watch TF1 group channels and TF1+ on-demand content directly on Netflix. This unprecedented alliance will enable the Group to extend its coverage, allowing its TF1+ platform to reach new audiences and opening up new horizons in terms of advertising.
Finally, the third aspect of this new strategic phase involves strengthening the Group's international operations, with TF1+ available in 22 French-speaking African countries since 30 June 2025.
Regarding Studio TF1, the year is likely to be back-loaded, as it was in 2024. It will notably be driven by the new soap Tout pour la lumière (All for Light), which has been broadcast since June, by the activity of Studio TF1 America (JPG and Reel One), and by the distribution business.
After a first part of the year marked by a more challenging advertising market than expected, and with visibility remaining very limited, the Group confirms its 2025 guidance:
