Turnover 2nd quarter: € 89.1 M
Good upturn in the activity at the end of the quarter
Paris, 14th June 2022, 06:00 pm – Groupe Partouche, one of the European gaming leaders, published today its consolidated turnover for the 2nd quarter of 2022 (February 2022 – April 2022)
As a preamble, let it be reminded that during the 2nd quarter of the previous financial year “2021” (February 2021 to April 2021), all French casinos were closed under the general measures taken by the Government to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. Abroad, the casino in Ostend (Belgium) also remained closed. The Swiss casinos of Meyrin and Crans-Montana were able to welcome again their customers with no curfew, as from 19th April 2021, but while respecting health constraints. The Djerba casino (Tunisia) remained open but constrained by a curfew starting at 10 p.m. Swiss online games, deployed on 16th November 2020, and Belgian online games and betting were active throughout the quarter.
All casinos are open during the 2nd quarter of the year under review (February 2022 to April 2022), but continue to suffer from the health constraints in place, which affect their attendance:
- In France, the “vaccination pass”, introduced on 24th January 2022, remained in force until 13th March 2022 included, limiting customers’ access to the casinos;
While attendance is thus down (-19.7%) compared to the 2nd quarter of 2019 (February 2019 to April 2019, last period excluding the Covid crisis), the average basket increased by +20.8% to € 89 on the same period (with a French GGR down -4.0%). It should be noted that the drop in attendance has eased since the lifting of the vaccination pass (-13.7% between 14th March and 30th April 2022 compared to the same period in 2019).
- In Switzerland, the presentation of the “vaccination pass” has been lifted as from 17th February 2022.
In addition, the 2nd quarter 2022 takes into account the scope effects especially related to:
- the disposal on 31st January 2022 of the stake held in the Crans-Montana casino (GGR of € 3.3 M in the 2nd quarter of 2019, the casino being closed in Q2 2020 and for most of Q2 2021),
- the cessation of the online games and betting in Belgium and of the management of the Ostend casino since 29th July 2021 (during the 2nd quarter of 2021, the GGR in Belgium amounted to € 22.8 M and to € 11.5 M in the 2nd quarter of 2020).
Turnover 2nd quarter 2022: € 89.1 M
Taking into account the aforementioned items, the Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) stands at € 148.2 M during the 2nd quarter of 2022 compared to € 25.1 M in 2021. Particularly, the ramping up of the Swiss online games whose GGR amounts to € 3.3 M compared to € 1.1 M in the 2nd quarter of 2021, should be noted. After levies, the Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) triples to € 70.8 M (compared to €22.0 M in N-1).
Overall, revenue for the 2nd quarter 2022 amounts to € 89.1 M, compared to € 23.6 m in 2021 (x3.8) and € 105.3m in 2019, down -15.4 %. Off-gaming activity generates revenue of € 18.7 M compared to € 1.6 M in N-1 (x11.7) and € 22.2 M in 2019, due to the reopening of all of the Group’s activities.
Overall, at a constant scope, the turnover for the 2nd quarter 2022 records a limited decline of -6.2% compared to the comparable period of 2019 pre-Covid.
Turnover 1st half-year 2022: € 187.2 M (compared to € 47.2 M in 2021)
At the end of April, the aggregate turnover for 6 months quadruples and amounts to € 187.2 M, with a tripled Net Gaming Revenue amounting to € 153.4 M, in a dynamic climate of business development initiated since the end of the constraints linked to the vaccination pass. Overall, at constant scope, revenue for the 1st half of 2022 is down -8.5% compared to the same period of 2019 pre-Covid.
End of renovation works in Hyères
After a long period of refurbishment, largely disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Hyères casino reopened in its entirety on Wednesday 15th April. The games room has been completely redesigned and now covers 1,500 m². The outdoor terrace, equipped with slot machines and an electronic roulette, contributes to the comfort of the players. Upstairs, a restaurant with a hundred seats, including private spaces, has been created. A new entrance, distinct from that of the casino, has been specifically created for the adjoining theatre hall.
Responsible gaming
In April 2022, the National Gaming Authority (ANJ – www.anj.fr) validated Groupe Partouche’s 2022 action plan “Prevention of excessive or pathological and underage gambling”, highlighting in particular the ambition and the quality of its content, associated with the innovation of specific devices.
The Group’s prevention policy, as a committed player in the fight against excessive gambling, aims to ensure that gaming remains an entertainment and that our customers today are our customers tomorrow.
This quality support is an integral part of our mission. Each of our employees contributes to its success, through its involvement, through the dedicated training courses developed internally and through the many tools made available.
Sustainability-linked loan
In February, Groupe Partouche signed its very first sustainability-linked loan with Arkéa Banque. The applicable interest rate is adjustable downwards (and upwards within the limit of the initial rate) according to an extra-financial score established by an extra-financial analysis and consulting agency, EthiFinance. The criteria are broken down into three themes: environment, social and governance. Groupe Partouche is firmly rooted in its SER (social & environmental responsibility) approach.

The “Gross Gaming Revenue” corresponds to the sum of the various operated games, after deduction of the payment of the winnings to the players. This amount is debited of the “levies” (i.e. State tax, the city halls tax, CSG, CRDS). The «Gross Gaming Revenue» after deduction of the levies, becomes the “Net Gaming Revenue “, a component of the turnover.

Satisfactory activity in the 3rd quarter despite a gloomy context in France: € 106.8 M (+1.6%)

Abroad, the GGR increases by +9.4% compared to a year earlier, at € 18.8 M, driven by the strong performance of Swiss online games (+30.1% to € 5.5 M) and table games in general (+33.9% to € 3.8 M, excluding Swiss online games) while the GGR of slot machines falls by -6.3% to € 9.5 M.

Globally, the 3rd quarter of 2024 turnover totals € 106.8 M, compared to € 105.1 M in 2023 (+1.6 %).

Paris, 25th June 2024, 06:00 p.m. – During its meeting held on the 25th June 2024 and after having reviewed the management report of Groupe Partouche Executive Board, the Supervisory Board examined the audited accounts of the 1st half-year 2023-2024 (November 2023 to April 2024).
Strong Business Momentum and Growth Investment in Casinos
The strong business momentum in the half-year was reflected in a Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) increase of +1.7% to €346.9 million and a revenue increase of +2.3% to €220.6 million.
The Group’s EBITDA decreased by – 4.0% at € 41.0 M (i.e. 18.6% of turnover) compared to € 42.7 M (19.8% of turnover) in the first half of 2023.
The Group’s Current Operational Income (COI) reached € 15.5 M compared to € 19.3 M in the first half of 2023. This decrease materializes in the three business sectors (casinos, hotels and others):
- The casinos COI at € 24.3 M (compared to € 27.0 M in the first half of 2023) is penalized by operating difficulties encountered by the numerous establishments undergoing renovation in Vichy, La Tour-de-Salvagny, Saint Amand-les-Eaux, Divonne and Casino 314 (Cannes). Furthermore, the Middelkerke casino in Belgium, which relocated to the seafront at the end of March 2024, is penalized by its heavy development works;
- Conversely, the COI of online gaming in Meyrin (Switzerland) and Middelkerke (Belgium), launched since 29th January 2024, both increased by + € 0.7 M and + € 0.4 M respectively;
- The COI of the hotels is a loss of – € 2.7 M in H1 2024 compared to – € 2.3 M in H1 2023, as well as that of the “Other” sector at – € 6.2 M compared to – € 5.4 M.
Purchases and external expenses at € 72.6 M increased by € 2.0 M (+2.8%), with particularly:
- an increase in advertising/marketing expenses of € 0.8 M (+5.4%) relating to the operations of Groupe Partouche 50th anniversary, between March and December 2023, and to a more offensive digital marketing in Meyrin (Switzerland) linked to its online activity;
- an increase in subcontracting expenses of € 0.8 M (+14.3%) due to the rise in cleaning and security expenses (+ € 0.5 M) and other expenses and;
- conversely, purchases of materials fell by -3.7%, mainly due to the reduction in energy expenditure amounting to € 0.7 M (-8.1%) as a result of falling prices.
Employees’ expenses reached € 90.6 M, up by € 3.2 M, mainly due to an increase in the minimum wage (SMIC) as at 1st January 2024, and new conventional grids applicable from 1st April 2024.
Net Income amounted to € 7.1 M, compared to € 18.8 M on 30th April 2023, taking into account the following items:
- a non-current operating income of – € 1.0 M compared to a profit of € 0.7 M at 30th April 2023, resulting from the progress margin on the property development contract in La Grande Motte and from the disposal of two real estate assets in Contrexéville. Other non-current income and expenses mainly include accelerated depreciation carried out as part of the development work on La Plage 3.14 for € 0.7 M and the Casino 3.14 for € 0.2 M, as well as renovation work at the La Tour-de-Salvagny casino for € 0.1 M;
- a financial income of – € 1.0 M (compared to – € 1.5 M in H1 2023). The cost of financial debt is up as it follows the increase in the Group’s gross debt as well as the average annual interest rate given the macroeconomic situation. However, this increase in financial costs is largely offset by investment income which increased by € 1.5 M. In addition, financial expenses related to IFRS 16 lease liabilities increased by € 0.5 M;
- A tax expense (CVAE included) of € 6.1 M compared to a tax revenue + € 0.3 M in H1 2023due to the activation of the balance of the Group’s carry forward tax losses generating differed tax income of € 3.6 M, while in H1 2024, a consumption of differed tax of – € 2.7 M was observed.
With a cash flow net of levies of € 89.8 M, equity of € 367.3 and net debt of € 81.2 M (constructed in accordance with the terms of the syndicated loan contract, according to the former IAS 17 standards, excluding IFRS 16), the Group’s financial structure is sound and robust, enabling it to continue its growth investment program.
The 1st half-year financial report as of 30th April 2024 is available today on the Group’s website www.groupepartouche.com in the Finance section.

Glossary
The “Gross Gaming Revenue” corresponds to the sum of the various games operated, after deduction of the payment of the winnings to the players. This amount is debited by the “levies” (i.e. tax to the State, the city halls, CSG, CRDS).
The «Gross Gaming Revenue» becomes the “Net Gaming Revenue” after levies, which is a component of the turnover.
“Current Operating Income” (COI) includes all expenses and income directly related to the Group’s activities to the extent that these elements are recurrent, usual within the operating cycle or that they result from specific events or decisions pertaining to the Group’s activities.
“Consolidated EBITDA” (EBITDA) is made up of the balance of income and expenses of the current operating income, excluding depreciation (allocations and reversals) and provisions (allocations and reversals) related to the Group’ business activity included in the current operating income but excluded from Ebitda due to their non-recurring nature.
