Regulatory News:
Vivendi (Paris:VIV):
This press release contains unaudited consolidated revenues
established under IFRS, which were approved by Vivendi’s Management
Board on November 12, 2018, reviewed by the Audit Committee on
November 13, 2018, and by the Supervisory Board on November 15,
2018.
1 At constant currency and perimeter compared to the same period
of 2017. Constant perimeter reflects the impacts of the acquisition
of Havas (July 3, 2017) as well as the acquisition of Paylogic
(April 16, 2018) and the sale of Radionomy (August 17, 2017) by
Vivendi Village.
Vivendi’s Supervisory Board met today under the chairmanship of
Mr. Yannick Bolloré and reviewed the Group’s consolidated revenue
figures as of September 30, 2018, which were approved by the
Management Board on November 12, 2018.
REVENUES AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
For the third quarter of 2018, Vivendi’s revenues amounted to
€3,384 million, compared to €3,207 million for the same
period of 2017, an increase of 5.6% at constant currency and
perimeter1.
For the first nine months of 2018, Vivendi’s revenues amounted
to €9,847 million, compared to €8,669 million for the
same period of 2017, an increase of 13.6%, mainly as the result of
the consolidation of Havas since July 3, 2017
(+€1,048 million). At constant currency and perimeter1,
revenues increased by 4.6% compared to the first nine months of
2017, primarily driven by the growth of Universal Music Group
(+9.1%) and Canal+ Group (+0.8%).

OPENING OF UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP’S SHARE CAPITAL
Following the preliminary work carried out by the Management
Board, about fifteen banks were chosen for the bank selection
process. The banks could help Vivendi identify one or more
strategic partners for its subsidiary Universal Music Group.
Vivendi will hold working sessions with these banks before the
end of fall to determine their qualifications and discuss the
potential terms of engagement and fees.
2 Net revenues correspond to revenues less pass-through costs
rebilled to customers.
The end goal of these working sessions is to select and retain
five to seven banks that will be charged with finding the best
partners for UMG.
Universal Music Group’s 2018 financial results, which will be
published on February 14, 2019, will serve as a basis for the
discussions with potential partners.
The cash from this sale may be used for a significant share
repurchase program through a tender offer and for potential
acquisitions.
EDITIS: ACQUISITION PROCESS
On November 15, 2018, Vivendi entered into a share purchase
agreement with Grupo Planeta for 100% of the share capital of
Editis, the second largest French publishing group, following the
exclusive negotiations that began on July 30. The enterprise value
retained is €900 million.
Editis encompasses around fifty publishing houses (e.g., Nathan,
Bordas, Robert Laffont, Presses de la Cité, Julliard, XO, Plon,
Perrin, Pocket, Belfond or Le Cherche Midi) and many successful
authors (e.g., Marc Levy, Michel Bussi or Raphaëlle Giordano).
In 2017, Editis recorded revenues of approximately €750 million
and a recurring EBIT of approximately €60 million.
In France, the book industry is the leading cultural market in
terms of revenues (€6 billion in 2017), ahead of cinema and music.
The acquisition of Editis will increase Vivendi's creative
capabilities to develop new editorial projects and types of content
(e.g., audiobooks, which are growing by 40% per year) and to
develop international franchises (like the Paddington model).
Both groups have a recognized know-how in the management of
intellectual property rights and a shared passion for creativity.
Their businesses have similar structures. The functioning of
publishing houses is similar to that of UMG’s music labels, which
should help facilitate the integration of Editis within
Vivendi.
The acquisition of Editis will be another major step in
Vivendi’s building of an integrated media, content and
communications group.
The favorable opinions of Vivendi's and Editis's works councils
were obtained on September 13, 2018 and November 8, 2018,
respectively.
The transaction must now be authorized by the French Competition
Authority. The closing of the transaction is expected in late 2018
or early 2019.
COMMENTS ON REVENUE EVOLUTION BY BUSINESS
SEGMENT
Universal Music Group
For the third quarter of 2018, Universal Music Group’s (UMG)
revenues amounted to €1,495 million, up 13.5% at constant
currency and perimeter compared to the third quarter of 2017
(+13.3% on an actual basis).
For the first nine months of 2018, UMG’s revenues amounted to
€4,123 million, up 9.1% at constant currency and perimeter
compared to the same period of 2017 (+3.5% on an actual basis).
Recorded music revenues grew by 10.2% at constant currency and
perimeter as growth in subscription and streaming revenues (+35.8%)
more than offset the continued decline in both download (-24.6%)
and physical (-16.3%) sales.
Recorded music best sellers for the first nine months of 2018
included new releases from Drake, Post Malone, XXXTentacion and
Migos, as well as the soundtrack release from Black Panther
(Kendrick Lamar).
Music publishing revenues grew by 10.6% at constant currency and
perimeter, also driven by increased subscription and streaming
revenues, as well as higher revenues generated from performance
rights and synchronization.
Merchandising and other revenues were down 13.4% at constant
currency and perimeter, due to lower touring and retail
activity.
UMG songs occupied the No. 1 spot on the Spotify Global Chart
for 37 out of the first 39 weeks of 2018. In addition, for the last
week of September 2018, UMG had nine out of the Top 10 Albums on
the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. This marks the first
time in nearly five years that a label group has achieved this
performance, with UMG also being the group that did it back in
October 2013.
In addition, on November 5, 2018, Universal Music Group
announced that it has entered into an agreement with Boomplay, the
most popular music streaming service in Africa. UMG is the first
music major to license its music to this service. Launched in 2015,
Boomplay is used by more than 36 million people, attracting nearly
two million new users each month.
Canal+ Group
For the third quarter of 2018, Canal+ Group’s revenues amounted
to €1,247 million, almost stable compared to the same period
of 2017 (-0.2% at constant currency and perimeter).
For the first nine months of 2018, Canal+ Group's revenues
amounted to €3,822 million, up 0.4% compared to the same
period of 2017 (+0.8% at constant currency and perimeter). This
change was driven by the increase in the group's global subscriber
base, which reached 15.4 million compared to 14.8 million
at the end of September 2017.
Revenues from television operations in mainland France decreased
slightly due to the decline in the total individual subscriber base
(7.9 million compared to 8.0 million at the end of
September 2017), despite a positive change in the churn rate
(decrease of 4 points over the past year to 13.4%, a record low
since the third quarter of 2012). This decrease was notably due to
the continued decline in Canalplay subscriptions and the
termination of the Canalsat offer in favor of the new Canal offers
and the subscriptions via wholesale partnerships. The Canal+
channel’s individual subscriber base recorded a year-on-year
increase of 227,000 subscribers.
International pay-TV operations posted a very strong increase in
revenues of +7.8% at constant currency and perimeter driven by the
very strong growth in the individual subscriber base (+726,000
year-on-year) notably as a result of the positive, yet temporary,
impact of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Studiocanal’s revenues increased by 10.3% at constant currency
and perimeter, driven by more theatrical releases and very good
video sales, particularly of Paddington 2. For the third quarter of
2018, the business was impacted (-4.6% at constant currency and
perimeter) by the seasonality of movie releases. This seasonality
is also expected to be unfavorable in the fourth quarter, which, in
2017, benefited from the release of Paddington 2.
The movie Sink or Swim (Le Grand Bain), released on October 24,
2018 in France, is already performing very well, attracting more
than three million viewers three weeks after its release. Season 4
of the TV series The Bureau (Le Bureau des Légendes), a Creation
Originale Canal+, broadcast on the channel and on myCanal since
October 2018, is also a major success with both viewers and critics
alike.
On November 8, 2018, Canal+ Group announced the renewal of its
agreement with French cinema, extending until 2023 an historical
partnership of more than 30 years. This agreement was a
precondition for Canal+'s signing of the new media release
chronology, whose upcoming entry into force will enable the Group
to offer movies to its subscribers as early as 6 months after their
theatrical release. This agreement and the new media release
chronology protect and strengthen Canal+'s unique position in the
financing and broadcasting of French cinema, of which it remains by
far and more than ever the primary supporter.
On September 18, 2018, Canal+ Group and SFR announced a
commercial agreement for the distribution of the RMC Sport bouquet.
This agreement allows Canal+ Group satellite subscribers to watch
all of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, English
Premier League, Portuguese Football Championship, as well as horse
riding, athletics, extreme sports, and more.
On October 31, 2018, Canal+ Group won the exclusive rights to
broadcast in France and Poland the English Premier League, the
world’s most watched football championship. From August 2019,
Canal+ will offer on its antennas and on myCanal the 2019/2020,
2020/2021 and 2021/2022 seasons of the Premier League. During the
upcoming seasons, Canal+ subscribers will be able to watch France’s
finest football (with the top three Ligue 1 matches every
matchday), the best of European championships including the entire
Premier League, a full-length evening show covering Ligue 2
matchdays, the entire Coupe de la Ligue, the French women’s
football championship, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the Top 14, the
Pro D2, southern hemisphere rugby, the Formula 1, MotoGP and Rally
world championships, golf tournaments and the 2020 Olympics.
Canal+ Group is delighted to be able to offer a large number of
its subscribers all the major sports competitions via its premium
channels Canal+ and Canal+ Sport, as well as the best sports
channels including BeIn Sport, Eurosport and RMC Sports.
In addition, on November 14, 2018, Canal+ Group and TF1 Group
entered into a new global distribution agreement enabling the
integration into the Canal offers of all TF1 Group channels and
related non-linear services. The agreement is accompanied by a new
expanded partnership between TF1 and Dailymotion. The group had
entered into a similar agreement with M6 Group in early 2018.
For the full year 2018, Canal+ Group is close to achieving the
objectives set. Television activities will achieve their goals;
Studiocanal may end the year slightly behind despite the success of
Le Grand Bain.
Havas
For the third quarter of 2018, Havas's revenues amounted to
€535 million and net revenues2 were €525 million. Organic
growth of net revenues2 excluding the impact of Arnold - which is
in the process of reorganizing- stood at +2.5% compared to the
third quarter of 2017, a significant improvement compared to the
level recorded in the first half of 2018 (-1.4%).
All businesses, creative, healthcare communications and media,
contributed to this upturn. Exchange rate fluctuations had an
effect of -1.2% (primarily the US dollar, South American currencies
and the Australian dollar) and acquisitions contributed +1.0%. At
constant currency and perimeter, Havas’s net revenues increased by
0.3% compared to the third quarter of 2017.
By geographic region, the North American agencies maintained
their growth dynamic over the third quarter, thanks to continuing
strong performances from Havas Health & You, BETC, Havas Edge,
Havas Chicago and Abernathy/AMO, as well as from the media business
(contribution of the Sanofi account’s win in 2017).
Business in Europe significantly improved compared to the first
half of 2018 and reported positive organic growth in the third
quarter thanks to better performances, particularly in France and
in the United Kingdom. The main contributors in France were BETC,
Havas Paris and Ekino/Fullsix, for the creative operations, UX
(User eXperience) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management).
The agencies in the United Kingdom confirmed the local recovery
thanks to the dynamism of the healthcare communications (Havas
Lynx), creative (Havas London) and media businesses. Italy and
Germany also reported double-digit growth, offsetting the
underperformance of Spain (mainly in the media business).
2. Net revenues correspond to revenues less pass-through costs
rebilled to customers.
At the end of September, the Asia-Pacific region continued to
report positive growth, thanks to China. Latin America saw negative
growth over the quarter due to an unfavorable comparative basis,
but the region is set to maintain sharp growth over the full year
2018.
For the first nine months of 2018, Havas’s revenues amounted to
€1,587 million and net revenues2 were €1,545 million.
Organic growth excluding the impact of Arnold was stable at -0.1%
compared to the first nine months of 2017; the exchange rate effect
was negative at -4.8% and acquisitions contributed +1.2%. At
constant currency and perimeter, Havas’s net revenues2 changed by
-1.8% compared to the first nine months of 2017.
Havas pursued its policy of targeted acquisitions and continued
to strengthen in certain areas of strategic expertise or in certain
geographical regions. During the third quarter of 2018, Havas made
two acquisitions: Republica, a leading independent multicultural
marketing agency in the United States, in early September 2018, and
Catchi, the leading Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) specialist
across Australia and New Zealand, in early July 2018.
After carrying off 3 “Grand Prix” and 47 “Lions” awards at the
Cannes Lions, some Havas Group agencies, including Havas Host in
Australia, BETC, Havas Germany, Rosapark and Havas New York, earned
recognition for their creativity at major international festivals
during the third quarter of 2018 (please refer to Appendix III for
the list of the most significant awards and wins).
New business remained vibrant over the third quarter of 2018,
with a number of new wins in creative and media businesses, as well
as healthcare communications, both on a local and global level
(please refer to Appendix III for the list of the most significant
awards and wins). These new wins will more than offset media
account losses in the third quarter. On October 29, 2018, Havas
Media also won the global Puma media planning and buying
assignment.
As previously announced, Havas expects better organic net
revenues growth for the second half of 2018, thanks to major
accounts wins in the first half of the year.
Gameloft
For the first nine months of 2018, Gameloft's revenues amounted
to €224 million, down 4.7% at constant currency and perimeter
compared to the same period of 2017 (-3.3% at constant currency and
perimeter for the third quarter of 2018), due to the slowdown of
the telco carriers’ operations and the decline in advertising
revenues. OTT operations (sales of games on platforms such as
Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon) represented 72% of Gameloft’s
total revenues, up 4% at constant currency.
With almost 2 million downloads per day across all
platforms during the first nine months of 2018, Gameloft is one of
the leading mobile game publishers in the world. Gameloft has
benefited from the strong performance of its catalogue, notably its
bestselling games such as War Planet Online, Dragon Mania Legends,
Disney Magic Kingdoms, March of Empires, and Asphalt 8:
Airborne.
62% of Gameloft’s revenues were generated by internally
developed franchises.
On July 26, 2018, Gameloft launched Asphalt 9: Legends. The
latest opus of the #No 1 mobile racing franchise has recorded more
than 4 million downloads in a week and more than 24 million in
three months.
In October 2018, Gameloft celebrated, in partnership with
Illumination Entertainment and Universal Games, the fifth
anniversary of Minion Rush, offering players new game modes and
unreleased content available in an updated version. With close to a
billion downloads, Minion Rush is among the top 10 most downloaded
games in the world on iOS and Google Play.
Vivendi Village
For the first nine months of 2018, Vivendi Village’s revenues
amounted to €88 million, an increase of 9.9% at constant
currency and perimeter compared to the same period of 2017. For the
third quarter of 2018, revenues were up 39.5% at constant currency
and perimeter.
Vivendi Ticketing’s revenues amounted to €41 million, a
5.5% increase compared to the first nine months of 2017, driven by
the acquisition of Paylogic in April 2018. See Tickets experienced
a record level of commercial activity in September in the United
Kingdom.
Live performance revenues almost doubled (+91.8%) compared to
the first nine months of 2017, mainly due to the development of
Olympia Production.
Olympia Production now counts a portfolio of 33 artists (e.g.,
the singers Eddy de Pretto and Dadju, and the comedian Guillermo
Guiz), which is five times more than when it launched its
activities in 2016. It will produce a thousand concerts and shows
in 2018 (excluding festivals). With the acquisition of Garorock
(announced in October 2018), one of the five major music festivals
in France, Olympia Production holds four regional festivals hosting
a total of more than 250,000 people.
L’Olympia recorded an excellent performance in the month of
September driven by the hosting of many private events; the last
quarter of 2018 will be active with 103 scheduled dates (79 were
held in the same period of 2017).
At the end of September, CanalOlympia inaugurated its tenth
cinema and live performance venue in Africa in Lomé, Togo. Theses
venues draw two times the attendance of the venues in other
countries such as France.
New Initiatives
New Initiatives, which groups together projects being launched
or under development, recorded revenues amounting to
€47 million for the first nine months of 2018, an increase of
37.6% compared to the same period of 2017.
For the third quarter of 2018, the audience of Dailymotion was
5.3 billion views worldwide, up 14% compared to the third quarter
of 2017. Its audience for premium content almost doubled in one
year reaching 2.2 billion views in the third quarter of 2018,
compared to 1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2017. During the
third quarter of 2018, Dailymotion had approximately 270 million
monthly unique visitors worldwide.
To continue the enrichment of its premium offer, Dailymotion
recently signed many content agreements. Dailymotion became the
platform for AC Milan, the EuroLeague (first European professional
basketball competition), El Espanol and Axel Springer in Spain,
Hindustan Times (third most read newspaper in India) and SBS
(second television group in South Korea).
The third quarter of 2018 was marked by the delivery of the
internally-developed SSP (sell-side platform), to automate and
optimize the selling of media space. It was gradually rolled out on
Dailymotion’s video inventory and was completed on September 15.
Since then, most of Dailymotion's revenues have been processed via
this platform.
GVA, the telecoms operator in Africa, launched the CANALBOX's
Very High-Speed Internet offer in Libreville (Gabon) and Lomé
(Togo), respectively in October 2017 and March 2018, allowing its
subscribers to benefit from the technological quality of fiber
optics.
In addition, GVA has just strengthened its network by acquiring
a development company in Pointe-Noire (Republic of the Congo).
EXTENSION OF THE UBISOFT FORWARD SHARE SALE DEADLINE
As previously announced on March 20, 2018, Vivendi has sold
forward its remaining interest in Ubisoft (i.e. 7,590,909 shares)
for approximately €500 million, corresponding to a price of
€66 per share.
Vivendi sold these 7,590,909 shares to two financial
institutions as follows: 1,040,909 shares were sold on October 1,
2018 as planned, and the sale of 6,550,000 shares was deferred to
March 5, 2019.
Vivendi has given an undertaking to Ubisoft to sell all the
shares it owns by March 7, 2019, the settlement date. In addition,
Vivendi maintains its March 2018 commitment to refrain from
purchasing Ubisoft shares for a period of five years.
About Vivendi
Since 2014, Vivendi has been focused on building a world-class
content, media and communications group with European roots. The
clear and ambitious strategy that was set in motion three years ago
has been successfully executed by the Management Board. First, in
content creation, the Group owns powerful, complementary assets in
music (UMG), mobile games (Gameloft) and movies/series (Canal+
Group), which are the three most popular forms of entertainment
content in the world today. Second, in the distribution market,
Vivendi has acquired the Dailymotion platform and repositioned it
to create a new digital showcase for our content. The Group has
also joined forces with several telecom operators and platforms to
maximize the reach of its distribution networks. In 2017, a third
building block – communications – was added to this structure, via
Havas. Havas possesses unique creative expertise in promoting free
content and producing short formats, which are increasingly viewed
on mobile devices. In addition, through Vivendi Village, the Group
explores new forms of business in live entertainment, franchises,
ticketing and digital technology that are complementary to its core
activities. Vivendi’s various businesses cohesively work together
as an integrated industrial group to create greater value.
