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 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 29^th January 2024, both increased by + € 0.7 M and + € 0.4 M respectively;

• 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 1^st January 2024, and new conventional grids applicable from 1^st April 2024.

Net Income amounted to € 7.1 M, compared to € 18.8 M on 30^th 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 30^th 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.

• 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.
