This press release contains unaudited condensed financial results established under IFRS, which were approved by Vivendi’s Management Board on July 27, 2020, and reviewed by the Vivendi Audit Committee on July 28, 2020, and by Vivendi’s Supervisory Board on July 30, 2020.
Vivendi's Supervisory Board met today under the chairmanship of Yannick Bolloré and reviewed the Group’s financial results for the half-year ended June 30, 2020, which were approved by the Management Board on July 27, 2020.
-
For the first half of 2020, revenueswere €7,576 million, up to 3.0% (-2.0% at constant currency and perimeter) compared to the first half of 2019. This increase was mainly due to the growth in revenues of Vivendi’s two main businesses, UMG and Canal+ Group, demonstrating the resilience of their subscription-related activities. The increase was partially offset by the slowdown in the revenues of Havas Group and Vivendi Village, which were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the second quarter of 2020, affected by the lockdown measures taken in most countries, revenues were €3,706 million, down 4.8% (-7.9% at constant currency and perimeter) compared to the second quarter of 2019.
- EBITA was €735 million, an increase of 2.4% compared to the first half of 2019 (-3.8% at constant currency and perimeter). The EBITA growth at Universal Music Group (+€81 million) and Canal+ Group (+€20 million) was notably offset by the EBITA slowdown at Havas Group (-€67 million).
- Other financial charges and income were a net income of €417 million, compared to a net income of €91 million for the first half of 2019, representing a favorable change of €326 million. This amount included the revaluation of the interests in Spotify and Tencent Music for a net amount of €449 million, compared to €155 million for the same period in 20194.
-
Provision for income taxes reported to net income was a net charge of €299 million, compared to a net charge of €182 million for the same period in 2019. This change notably reflected the increase in the deferred tax charge related to the revaluation of the interests in Spotify and Tencent Music
(-€110 million, compared to -€37 million for the first half of 2019).
- Earnings attributable to non-controlling interests were €84 million, compared to €10 million for the first half of 2019. This increase mainly reflected the Tencent-led consortium’s share (€64 million) of Universal Music Group’s net earnings as from March 31, 2020.
- Earnings attributable to Vivendi SE shareowners amounted to a profit of €757 million (or €0.66 per share - basic), compared to €520 million for the first half of 2019 (or €0.41 per share - basic), an increase of €237 million. This change mainly reflected the improvement in other financial charges and income (+€326 million) generated by the revaluation of the interests in Spotify and Tencent Music (+€294 million).
- Adjusted net income was a profit of €583 million (or €0.51 per share - basic), compared to €554 million for the first half of 2019 (or €0.44 per share - basic), an increase of 5.4%.
- The first half of 2020 was marked by strong cash generation (CFFO) of €338 million, compared to €36 million in the first half of 2019, thanks to Canal+ Group and after significant content investments by UMG.
-
Vivendi's balance sheet is particularly healthy. During the first half of 2020, Vivendi’s net financial debt fell by €1,007 million, from €4,064 million as of December 31, 2019 to €3,057 million as of June 30, 2020. This change notably includes a return to shareholders (dividends and share buybacks) of €1.4 billion, compared to €3.3 billion in 2019 (dividends and share buybacks), and the sale of 10% of UMG's share capital for €2.8 billion.
The Group has significant financing capacity. As of June 30, 2020, the Group's credit lines (Vivendi SE and Havas SA) were available in the amount of €3.7 billion. As of June 30, 2020, the average “economic” term of the financial debt, calculated based on the assumption that available medium-term credit lines may be used to redeem the group’s shortest-term borrowings, is 5.0 years.
With consolidated equity of €17.4 billion, the gearing rate (ratio of net debt to equity) was 17.5%.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic is having a more significant impact on certain countries or businesses than others, Vivendi has been able to demonstrate resilience and adapt in order to continue to best serve and entertain its customers, while reducing costs to preserve its margins. The business activities showed good resistance, in particular music and pay television. However, as anticipated when the first-quarter revenues were released, Havas Group, Vivendi Village and Editis were affected by the effects of the public health crisis. However, Editis has been enjoying a strong rebound in its business since the end of the lockdown in France.
Vivendi carefully analyzes the current and potential consequences of the crisis. It is difficult at this time to determine how it will impact its annual results. Businesses related to advertising and live performance are likely to be affected longer than others. Nevertheless, the Group remains confident in the resilience of its main businesses. It continues to make every effort to ensure the continuity of its activities and best serve and entertain its customers and audiences while complying with the authorities' guidelines in each country where it operates.
A review of the value of assets with an indefinite life, in particular the goodwill, was performed. Taking into account the performance achieved during the first half of the year by the business units, Vivendi did not identify any indications of a decrease in the recoverable amount compared to December 31, 2019, based on the sensitivity analyses performed.
SUCCESSFUL OPENING OF UMG’S SHARE CAPITAL
On March 31, 2020, Vivendi completed the sale of 10% of UMG’s share capital to a consortium led by Tencent, based on an enterprise value of €30 billion for 100% of UMG.
The consortium, led by Tencent and including Tencent Music Entertainment and other financial co-investors, has the option to acquire, on the same valuation basis, up to an additional 10% of the share capital of UMG until January 15, 2021. This transaction is complemented by a separate agreement allowing Tencent Music Entertainment to acquire a minority stake in the capital of the UMG subsidiary owning its Chinese activities.
Following the success of this important strategic agreement, Vivendi is pursuing the possible sale of additional minority interests in UMG with the assistance of several mandated banks. An IPO is scheduled for early 2023 at the latest.
ACQUISITION BY BANIJAY OF ENDEMOL SHINE GROUP
Banijay’s acquisition of Endemol Shine Group was finalized on July 3, 2020. This transaction creates the world leader in the production and distribution of audiovisual content, with annual revenues of around €2.7 billion (pro-forma 2019). Vivendi's support for this transaction (the Group owns 32.9% of the new entity) is part of its desire to build a world leader in culture, at the crossroads of the entertainment, media and communication industries.
Present in 22 countries, the new group has a portfolio of world-famous audiovisual programs, both streamed programs (Big Brother, Master Chef, The Wall, etc.) and scripted programs (Black Mirror, Humans, Tin Star,…). It also has an unrivaled distribution network, the two entities having complementary geographic locations.
SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM
Between January 1 and March 6, 2020, Vivendi repurchased 23 million of its own shares, representing €559 million. Since April 20, 2020, the Group has repurchased 8.25 million of its own shares (i.e., 0.70% of its share capital), representing €160 million.
As of July 29 2020, Vivendi holds 35.2 million treasury shares (i.e., 2.97% of its share capital), of which 19.1 million shares designated for cancellation, 7.5 million shares allocated to covering performance share plans and 8.6 million allocated to covering employee shareholding plans.
COMMENTS ON THE BUSINESSES
Universal Music Group
For the first half of 2020, Universal Music Group’s (UMG) revenues were €3,459 million, up 3.5% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first half of 2019 (+6.2% on an actual basis).
Recorded music revenues grew by 3.7% at constant currency and perimeter thanks to the growth in subscription and streaming revenues (+12.4%) and the receipt of a digital royalty claim. This increase was achieved despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which mainly affected the second quarter of 2020. Physical sales were down 22.4% compared to the first half of 2019, while download sales declined by 23.1%.
Recorded music best sellers for the first half of 2020 included new releases from The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, King & Prince, Eminem and Lil Baby, as well as continued sales from Billie Eilish and Post Malone.
UMG ended the first half of 2020 with seven of the Top 10 most consumed artists in the United States, according to Nielsen. In addition, UMG took a number of important steps in continuing to expand its global footprint, opening offices in Morocco and Israel, launching Def Jam Africa based in South Africa and Nigeria, and announcing key partnerships with Sugar (Italy), The Aristokrat Group (Africa), and Desi Melodies (India), among others.
Music publishing revenues grew by 21.2% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first half of 2019, driven by increased subscription and streaming revenues, as well as the receipt of a digital royalty claim, separate from the one mentioned in recorded music.
For the first half of 2020, Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) complemented strong results with a number of notable signings around the world and across genres, including Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Surfaces, Luke Combs, Marisa Monte and Meduza.
Merchandising and other revenues were down 41.4% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first half of 2019, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both touring and retail activity.
For the first half of 2020, UMG’s EBITA was €567 million, up 16.6% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first half of 2019 (+18.0% on an actual basis) driven by revenue growth and cost control.
On July 22, 2020, UMG and Spotify announced a new, multi-year global license agreement that further aligns the companies’ efforts to foster groundbreaking new features providing value for artists and great experiences for music fans.
Canal+ Group
Canal+ Group’s revenues were €2,674 million, up 6.2% compared to the first half of 2019. At constant currency and perimeter, revenues slightly decreased (-1.6%).
Canal+ Group’s total subscriber portfolio (individual and collective) reached 20.4 million, compared to 17.1 million for the first half of 2019, including 8.6 million in mainland France.
Revenues from television operations in mainland France decreased slightly compared to the first half of 2019 (-2.1% at constant currency and perimeter), in a context marked by a downturn in the advertising market due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Revenues from international operations rose sharply by 30.5% (+5.2% at constant currency and perimeter), thanks to the outstanding year-on-year growth in the number of subscribers (+3.2 million), which was driven both by organic growth and the integration of M7.
Studiocanal’s revenues declined by 30.5% compared to the same period in 2019, as theatrical film distribution was particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Canal+ Group’s EBITA before restructuring charges was €329 million, compared to €236 million for the first half of 2019 (+16.2% at constant currency and perimeter). After restructuring charges, EBITA was €300 million, compared to €233 million for the same period in 2019 (+7.0% at constant currency and perimeter).
Canal+ Group continues to focus on the tracking of its expenditures and investments. The first half of 2020 confirmed Canal+ Group’s ambition to build, from a foundation of the best of cinema, sports and series, a gateway to the world’s leading applications and channels. Canal+ Group became the exclusive French distributor of the new Disney+ streaming service, available as part of Canal+ offers since April 7. Canal+ Group can further extend the reach of Disney+ through third-party distribution partners such as Internet Service Provider. Since June 1, Canal+ Group became the exclusive French distributor of beIN Sports channels to third-party providers across all platforms in mainland France, for the next five years.
Havas Group
As anticipated, the second quarter of 2020 was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Havas Group reacted swiftly to ensure the safety of its employees and continuity of business for all its clients around the world. This unprecedented public health crisis has affected the entire communications industry, as some advertisers were forced to postpone or cancel a number of campaigns. All divisions felt the impact, except for Havas Health & You, which continues to report positive performance thanks to the gains in market share achieved last year.
In these highly challenging times, for the first half of 2020, Havas Group reported revenues of €1,019 million, down 8.5%. Net revenues5 were €977 million, down 7.9% compared to the first half of 2019. Organic growth was -11.2% (-3.3% for the first quarter of 2020 and -18.3% for the second quarter); exchange rates had a positive impact of 0.9%, and acquisitions contributed 2.4%.
In terms of regions, at the end of June, North America delivered a satisfactory performance thanks to a resilient market and growth in health communications. Europe was severely affected by the pandemic. However, the agencies in the United Kingdom and Germany have proven more resistant than others. Both Asia-Pacific and Latin America recorded sharp declines.
For the first half of 2020, EBITA was €46 million, compared to €108 million for the same period in 2019. This change was due to the sharp downturns in activity reported by both the Media and Creative divisions.
A cost-reduction plan was implemented in both divisions in the early weeks of the crisis and, by the end of June, Havas Group had already absorbed nearly half the decline in revenues (before restructuring costs).
Editis
For the first half of 2020, Editis’ revenues were €262 million, down 15.1% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first half of 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted all of Editis' activities with the shut-down of most of the publishing sector's points of sale.
However, a strong market recovery, especially for Editis, which enjoyed a revenue increase of 38.0% in June, helped offset the negative impact of the lockdown period on sales. Editis’ revenues were down approximately 40% between March, April and May compared to the same period in 2019.
In addition, nine of Editis’ titles were among the Top 25 best-sellers in the first half of 2020, up 50% compared to the same period in 2019, including Au soleil redouté by Michel Bussi, La Vallée by Bernard Minier, Nos résiliences by Agnès Martin-Lugand or Fait maison by Cyril Lignac.
Editis also takes pride in the prestigious literary awards its authors have received, such as the “Grand Prix du polar des Lectrices de Elle” awarded to Tess Sharpe for Mon Territoire, the “Prix Maison de la Presse 2020” awarded to Caroline Laurent for Rivage de la colère, and the “Prix France Télévisions #MonLivreDeLété” awarded to François Durpaire for Histoire mondiale du bonheur.
Publishing houses such as the Trédaniel Group, L’Iconoclaste and Les Arènes chose Editis as their distribution and/or diffusion partner starting in 2021.
For the first half of 2020, impacted by the lockdown, Editis’ EBITA was -€21 million, compared to -€5 million for the same period in 2019 (pro forma).
Other businesses
For the second quarter of 2020, Gameloft’s revenues were €69 million, up 6.5% year-on-year, with sales on OTT platforms (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.) up by 16.3%. For the first half of 2020, revenues were €130 million, down 2.2% year-on-year. Gameloft’s sales on OTT platforms increased by 3.6% for the first half of 2020 and accounted for 76% of Gameloft’s total sales. Gameloft registered 1.6 million downloads per day across all platforms in the first half of 2020.
The lockdown measures imposed in Europe and Africa during the first half of 2020 had a significant impact on Vivendi Village. After a very strong start to the year, the live performance, venues and ticketing activities came to a virtual standstill in the second quarter of 2020. Cost-reduction measures have been put in place. In addition, live performance has launched innovative initiatives to maintain a connection with festival-goer communities: in London, Junction 2V, held on July 11 and 12, 2020, was an entirely virtual festival, and smaller festivals will be organized this summer.
In the first half of 2020, the revenues of New Initiatives, which brings together the Dailymotion and GVA entities, were €28 million, compared to €34 million in the first half of 2019.
In the first half of 2020, Dailymotion's audience for premium content grew by more than 35% compared to the first half of 2019. This growth was driven in particular by new partnerships such as those with CNN and Barstool Sports in the United States, Ooreka and Numerama in France, Daily Mail in the United Kingdom, Film Affinity in Spain, Bilan in Switzerland, Cocina al Natural in Mexico, News Nation in India and Amarin in Thailand. Dailymotion’s programmatic monetization platform also continues to grow with the integration of Amazon, following that of The Trade Desk, DV 360 and Verizon.
GVA, a telecoms operator in Africa, launched the sale of its very high-speed Internet offers in March 2020 in two new capitals, Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) and Kigali (Rwanda), strengthening its presence on the continent. In June 2020, after launching its Canalbox PREMIUM offer (50 Mb/s) and CanalboxPRO offers in Pointe Noire (Republic of the Congo) the previous year, GVA expanded its commercial offer by launching START (very high speed at 10 Mb/s).

* non-GAAP measures.
The non-GAAP measures of “Income from operations”, “adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes (EBITA)” and “adjusted net income” should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other GAAP measures of operating and financial performance. Vivendi considers these to be relevant indicators of the group’s operating and financial performance. Vivendi Management uses income from operations, EBITA and adjusted net income for reporting, management and planning purposes because they exclude most non-recurring and non-operating items from the measurement of the business segments’ performances. Furthermore, as of June 30, 2020, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vivendi has not changed the definition of these indicators, which are therefore comparable to fiscal year 2019.
For any additional information, please refer to the “Financial Report for the half-year 2020“, which will be released online later on Vivendi’s website (www.vivendi.com).

1 Constant perimeter notably reflects the impacts of the acquisition of M7 by Canal+ Group (September 12, 2019), the acquisition of the remaining interest in Ingrooves Music Group, which was consolidated by Universal Music Group (effective as of March 15, 2019) and the acquisition of Editis (January 31, 2019).
2 Non-GAAP measures. As of June 30, 2020, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vivendi has not changed the definition of these indicators, which are therefore comparable to those for the fiscal year 2019.
3 A reconciliation of EBIT to EBITA and to income from operations, as well as a reconciliation of earnings attributable to Vivendi SA shareowners to adjusted net income, are presented in Appendix I.
4 As a reminder, in Vivendi’s Consolidated Financial Statements, in accordance with IFRS 10, the capital gain on the sale of 10% of UMG’s share capital, equal to the difference between the sale price of €2,838 million and the value of non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Financial Statements of €458 million, will be directly recorded as an increase in equity attributable to Vivendi SE shareowners for €2,380 million. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the capital gain on the sale of 10% of UMG’s share capital was recorded in earnings in Vivendi’s Statutory Financial Statements.
5 Net revenues correspond to revenues less pass-through costs rebilled to customers.
