New growth investments
- Turnover: € 215.6 M (+15.2%)
- EBITDA : € 42.7 M compared to € 34.2 M at 1st HY 2022
- Net Income : € 18.8 M compared to € 24.6 M at 1st HY 2022

Paris, 27th June 2023, 06:00 p.m. During its meeting held on the 27th June 2023 and after having reviewed the management report of Groupe Partouche Executive Board, the Supervisory Board examined the 1st Half-Year audited accounts 2022-2023 (November 2022 to April 2023).
Solid operational performance driven by the gradual return to normalization of the activity
Over the 1st HY of the financial year, Groupe Partouche continued to record good commercial and operational performance, confirming the return to normal activity since the lifting of the latest health measures in February (Switzerland) and March (France) 2022 according to the areas of implantation1 which penalized the occupancy of the casinos. This trend thus confirms the momentum already recorded in the second half of the previous financial year.
Therefore, after taking into account several scope effects2 over the period, Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) came out with an increase of +17.6% to € 341.0 M and turnover increased by +15.2% to € 215.6 M.
The Group’s EBITDA was up by + 24.6% at € 42.7 M (i.e. 19.8% of turnover) compared to € 34.2 M (18.3% of turnover) at 1st HY 2022.
The current operating income (COI) doubles at € 19.3 M, compared to € 9.7 M a year earlier, driven by the renewed dynamism in the casino sector whose COI reached € 27.0 M, compared to € 16.0 M at 1st HY 2022 (+ 69.2%) and especially due to:
- the improvement in COI at the Pasino of Aix-en-Provence, which experienced its first normal half-year of activity since the end of the renovation works carried on in April 2019 (COI up to + € 2.1 M),
- the excellent performance of online gaming in Switzerland, whose COI is now close to equilibrium barely two years after its deployment (COI at – € 0.05 M in 2023 compared to – € 3.5 M in 2022).
These trends make the Group confident in the strategy of ramping up the Middelkerke casino integrated in July 2022 (COI loss of € 2.5 M at this stage) from which the Group will launch, subject to the official obtaining of the required license, an online gaming activity in Belgium in partnership with the Betsson AB Group3.
At the same time, the COI of the hotels sector is in deficit by – € 2.3 M in the 1st HY 2023, against – € 1.8 m in 1st HY 2022, as well as the sector “Other” at – € 5.4 M, against – € 4.6 M.
Purchases & external expenses increase by € 10.0 M (+16.5%) reaching € 70.7 M, with particularly:
- an increase of € 4.4 M (+ 24.4%) of the purchase of materials, nearly half of which (€ 1.9 M) is mainly due to the rise in energy prices;
- an increase in advertising/marketing expenses of € 2.7 M (+23.8%) and fees of € 0.9 M (+8.4%) correlated with the dynamism of the activity and the marketing operations for the 50th anniversary of Groupe Partouche (in particular through the operations of free allocation of gaming “promotion credits”, increasing by € 2.3 M);
- a decrease of € 2.0 M (-32.0%) in advertising and marketing fees expenses related to the online gaming activity of the Meyrin casino.
Employees expenses reached € 87.4 M, up by € 5.5 M due to the increase in activity and employees (+ 2.8%)
Net income is a profit of € 18.8M compared to € 24.6 M at 30th April 2022. As a reminder, the latter benefited from a non-current operating income of € 17.5 M linked to the sale of the stake in the Swiss Crans-Montana casino for € 14.1 M and the resolution of old disputes against the Belgian State for € 3.4 M.
The net income at 1st HY 2023 takes into account the following items:
- a non-current operating income of € 0.7 M composed of the progress margin on the property development contract in La Grande Motte for € 0.2 M and the income from the disposal of two non-operational property assets in Contrexéville for € 0.5 M,
- a financial income of – € 1.5 M (compared to – € 1.3 M in 1HY 2022). The cost of financial debt is up despite the decline in the Group’s gross debt, which is offset by the rapid rise in interest rates. In addition, the loan interest expenses includes IFRS 16 rents from Middelkerke for € 0.6 M. Conversely, the Group benefited from an increase in income from financial investments (+ € 0.5 M), greater than the increase in the debt’s cost,
- a tax income (CVAE included) of + € 0.3 M (compared to – € 1.2 M in 1st HY 2022). This item takes into account the activation of the balance of the tax loss carryforwards of the tax consolidation group, given the good performance achieved and the business outlook, which generated deferred tax income of € 3.6 M over the period.
The financial structure of the Group is extremely healthy and solid considering the cashflow after levies of € 127.8 M, equity of € 369.0 M and a net debt of € 38.6 M (constructed in accordance with the terms of the syndicated loan agreement, according to the old IAS 17 standard, excluding IFRS 16)
New growth investments
The Group’s financial situation allows it to pursue the restructuring of its establishments.
Thus, the casino at DIVONNE has undertaken its renovation in order to regain its former splendor with magnified volumes and significant heights. The works began with a major cleaning, now completed, which made it possible to update the semicircular arches and to reopen a multitude of interior bays that will make this casino a fluid, modern and completely renewed space: new gaming rooms, new bar, new restaurant, new atmosphere while preserving the spirit of the place.
The casino at VICHY has also initiated in June 2023, a restructuring, with an enlarged gaming room by the creation of a floor allocated to games and a complete renovation of the restaurant, bar and entrance hall areas.
Upcoming events:
– 3rd quarter financial information: Tuesday 12th September 2023, following Paris stock market closure.
– 4th quarter turnover: Tuesday 12th December 2023, following Paris stock market closure.

The change in amortization and depreciation of fixed assets, down -6.5% to € 24.5 M, reflects the various end of amortization cycles as well as the limitation of renewal investments during the health crisis.
The other operating income & expenses represent a net expense of – € 4.2 M compared to a net income of € 1.4 M at 1st HY 2022, mainly due to:

Balance sheet
Total net assets as of 30th April 2023 represent € 808.4 M compared to € 798.3 M as of 31st October 2022. The noteworthy changes over the period are as follows:
- an increase in non-current assets of € 12.3 M mainly due, on the one hand, to the net increase in property, plant and equipment of € 8.2 M, essentially made up of the volume of investments and depreciation allowances, and on the other hand, the increase in stakes in companies accounted for using the equity method due to the acquisition of additional stakes in the companies of the La Pensée Sauvage division (+ € 5.1 M);
- a decrease in current assets of € 2.2 M, mainly due to consumption of cash of € 6.0 M offset by an increase in the item “customers and other debtors” of € 4.3 M in connection with the return to a normal activity.
On the liabilities side, shareholders’ equity, including minority interests, went from € 354.0 M at 31st October 2022 to € 369.0 M at 30th April 2023, including a profit for the period of € 16.7 M for the Group share and € 2.1 M for minority interests.

Glossary
The “Gross Gaming Revenue” (GGR) 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. tax to the State, the city halls, CSG, CRDS).
The «Gross Gaming Revenue» after deduction of the levies, becomes the “Net Gaming Revenue” (NGR), a component of the turnover.
“Current Operating Income” (COI) includes all the expenses and income directly related to the Group’s activities to the extent that these elements are recurrent, usual in 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 and provisions related to the operating cycle and one-off items related to the Group’s activities included in the current operating income but excluded from EBITDA due to their non-recurring nature.

- Turnover : 434.3 €M (+2.5 %)
- EBITDA : 73.9 €M (-3.0 %)
- Current Operating Income : 19.7 €M (-28.1 %)
- Net Income : 4.1 €M (-82.6 %)

Paris, 28th January 2025, 06:00 p.m.
During its meeting held today and after having reviewed the management report of Groupe Partouche Executive Board, the Supervisory Board examined the annual accounts at 31st October 2024 that are being audited.
During the past year, activity remained strong despite disruptions caused by the significant modernization and expansion program for several of its flagship establishments in France (especially La Tour-de-Salvagny, Annemasse and Divonne) and Belgium. Groupe Partouche is also pursuing an ambitious strategy of opening new iconic locations, notably in Cannes last December and Paris by the end of the year, thanks to its solid financial structure. These substantial and focused investments temporarily impacted profitability, but the group remains confident in its outlook.
Strong growth in the annual turnover
The Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) records a strong growth + 1.5% reaching € 712.3 M in 2024, compared to € 701.5M in 2023. This good performance is fuelled by the growth in the slot machines GGR (+1.1%), and the table games GGR abroad (+23.8%).
The Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) increases to € 338.7 M over the whole year (+1.7%), a performance to be commended considering the huge amount of works carried on during the year in three of the biggest operating casinos. turnover excluding NGR progresses by +4.5% to € 98.5 M.
Globally the 2024 consolidated turnover increases by +2.5% reaching € 434.4 M from € 428.3 M in 2023.
Impact of the investment program on operational profitability
The EBITDA reaches € 73.9 M, compared to € 76.1 M a year before (-3.0%) and thus represents 17.0% of turnover.
Current operating income (COI) falls by -€ 7.7 € to € 19.7 M (-28.1%).
This fall is mainly due to the influence of the casino sector in relation to the operating difficulties encountered by some establishments currently undergoing renovation (La Tour-de-Salvagny (-€ 2.7 M compared to 2023), Saint Amand-les-Eaux (-€ 2.1 M), Divonne (-€ 1.2 M), 3.14 in Cannes (-€ 1.2 M) and Vichy (-€ 1.0 M) as well as Middelkerke in Belgium (-€ 3.5 M), which moved to the seafront at the end of March 2024.
Conversely, the COI of Middelkerke online games, deployed since 29th January 2024, and Meyrin (Switzerland) both increase by +€ 1.3 M and +€ 0.7 M respectively. In addition, the COI of the casinos of Aix-en-Provence (+ €0.9 M), La Ciotat (€ 0.9 M), La Grande Motte (+€ 0.8 M), Nice (+€ 0.8 M), and Forges (+€ 0.8 M) benefit from significant work carried out on their cost structure.
Purchases and external expenses increase to € 147.0 M, by + € 4.4 M (+3.1%), of which € 2.4 M are due to the online activity in Switzerland. The remaining € 2.0 M mainly result from the following reverse effects:
- the increase in subcontracting costs (+€ 1.8 M) due to the cleaning costs and the security costs but also costs related to the launch of the new Plage 3.14 format (+€ 0.4 M);
- the increase in fee costs relating to poker tournaments (+€ 1,0 M), linked to the increase in turnover (in Aix-en-Provence and in Paris with the WSOP) or the opening of the Middelkerke seafront casino;
- the decrease in purchases of materials (- € 1.6 M), mainly due to the decrease in energy costs of € 2.1 M linked to the renegotiation of electricity prices;
- the decrease in advertising costs of -4.8% (-€ 1.4 M) with the end of marketing operations for the 50th anniversary of the Groupe Partouche which took place between March and December 2023).
Taxes & Duties are up by + 4.2%, going from € 16.9 M in 2023 to € 17.6 M in 2024.
Personnel expenses amount to € 183.5 M, an increase of € 6.3 M (+3.5%), due in particular to an increase in staff (+3.7%), a rise in the minimum wage on 1st January 2024 and new conventional wage scales effective on 1st April 2024. There was also a significant increase in personnel expenses in the Middelkerke casino (+€ 1.0 M, or +45.8%) linked to the will of offering a wide range of games.
The change in depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, up by € 2.8 M (+5.8%) to € 51.8 M, reflects the restatement according to IFRS 16 (in particular the new management rental fee for Casino 3.14 in Cannes) and impact of the sustained investment program in the Group’s establishments.
Other current operating income and expenses represent a net expense of € 14.8 M, compared to € 10.8 M in the previous financial year (+€ 4.0 M). This change is explained in particular by the provision relating to the multi-site jackpot which had not been won since March 2023, an increase in expenses specific to the activity (specifications, MAS royalties) and by an unfavourable progress in changes in provisions.
The non-current operating income (NCOI) represents a loss of -€ 4.4 M compared to an income of +€ 0.04 M in 2023. It takes into account the following elements:
- € 1.4 M of other non-current operating income and expenses notably made up of accelerated depreciation carried out as part of renovation works on the Group’s establishments;
- € 3.1 M of impairment of goodwill corresponding to the residual value of Hotel 3.14 goodwill, resulting from the decision to sell the property without retaining the hotel’s operations, after two financial years without impairment.
Consequently, 2024 operating income reaches € 15.2 M over the year, compared to € 27.4 M in 2023.
The financial income represents a net expense of € 3.3 M compared to € 2.9 M in 2023. The cost of financial debt, up by € 1.1 M, follows the increase in the Group’s gross debt while the average annual interest rate is relatively stable. However, this increase in financial costs is offset by investment income of € 2.6 M (+€ 1.0 M). In addition, financial charges related to IFRS 16 rental debts increase by € 1.1 M, of which € 0.7 M is attributable to the Middelkerke casino.
The Group’s tax expense (including CVAE) is a charge of € 7.5 M compared to € 1.1 M in 2023. It includes a CVAE tax expense of € 0.9 M compared to € 1.1 M in 2023, and a corporate income tax expense (including deferred taxes) of € 6.6 M compared to almost zero in 2023. While the current tax expense is perfectly stable between the two financial years, this change is only due to deferred taxes, in particular due to the activation in N-1 of the balance of tax losses carried forward by the Groupe Partouche tax consolidation scope, partially consumed this year for -€ 3.3 M.
Ultimately, Groupe Partouche generates a profit of € 4.1 M (of which the Group’ share amounts to € 1.1 M) compared to € 23.4 M in 2023.
Healthy & solid financial structure
On the assets side of the consolidated balance sheet, there was an increase in non-current assets of + € 64.8 M, due in particular to the increase in the item “tangible fixed assets” of + € 67.0 M, resulting :
- on the one hand from the rights of use of new real estate lease contracts (management lease of Casino 3.14 in Cannes for € 6.1 M in connection with its move, in December 2024, to the Palm Beach;the Middelkerke casino for € 2.9 M, Groupe Partouche for € 2.7 M and the Pornichet casino for € 1.1 M); and
- on the other hand from the volume of investments in the casinos of La Tour-de-Salvagny (€ 11.2 M), Middelkerke (€ 6.8 M), Divonne (€ 9.9 M), Casino 3.14 (€ 7.0 M), Vichy (€ 2.7 M), Annemasse (€ 2.7 M), St Amand-les-Eaux (€ 1.9 M) and Contrexéville (€ 0.8 M) as well as La Plage 3.14 (€ 1.1 M) and the immobilization compensation paid as part of the promise of sale of a real estate asset at the foot of the Arc de Triomphe to house the Parisian gaming club and the group’ headquarters (€ 8.2 M).
Conversely, there is a decrease in current assets of -€ 24.0 M, mainly due to active cash consumption of -€ 32.2 M due to the heavy investments of the period, only half of which were financed by issuing new bank loans and by dividend payments to the Group’s shareholders and minority shareholders, amounting to a total of € 6.8 M.
On the liabilities side, the Group’ Equity, minority shareholders included, reaches € 365.0 M (-€ 1.9 M) following the beneficiary income of the financial year that amounted to € 4.1 M.
The financial debt, at € 298.0 M, increases by +€ 28.7 M (current and non-current shares) after taking into account:
- the settlement of the four quarterly instalments of the syndicated loan in the amount of – € 10.8 M;
- the reimbursement of other bank loans for –€ 19.9 M;
- the setting up of new credits for € 48.7 M;
- the integration in the Group’ scope of the WHL company (holder of a plot of land located in Auron with a construction right) up to € 1.8 M;
- the net impact of lease contracts treatment according to IFRS 16 for +€ 9.2 M (notably in increase, the subscriptions of new real estate contracts found in an increase in non-current assets, and a decrease in the payment of deadlines of the financial year).
The financial debt amounts to € 104.1 M, up by € 50.2 M.
The financial structure of the Group remains healthy with the ratios of leverage (Net Debt / EBITDA) and gearing (Net Debt/Equity) respectively of 1.7x and 0.3x (compared to 0.8x and 0.1x in 2023).
