Corporate presentation summary
17 May, 2026Strategic direction and priorities
Transitioning from a diversified group to a focused entertainment powerhouse in the DACH region, leveraging MFE for pan-European scale and growth through financial discipline.
Five key priorities: investing in local/live content, expanding multi-platform reach, diversifying monetization, leveraging tech & AI, and maintaining cost discipline.
Strategy adapts to fragmented user behavior, shifting from Joyn-centric to a broad multi-platform approach, maximizing total video reach and hybrid monetization.
Emphasis on local content, strong brands, and cross-platform distribution to differentiate from competitors and drive audience engagement.
Ongoing portfolio evaluation based on financial merits, with a focus on core entertainment assets.
Financial performance and outlook
Q1 2026 group revenues declined 9% to €775m, mainly due to macroeconomic uncertainty and portfolio changes, but EBITDA rose to €44m from -€6m, reflecting cost discipline.
Entertainment segment revenues fell 8%, but EBITDA increased 62% due to cost management and lower programming expenses.
Commerce & Dating segment saw organic revenue growth of 6% despite an 11% reported decline, with strong performance from flaconi and Aroundhome.
Net financial debt increased to €1,463m, reflecting exceptional cash expenses and M&A activities; deleveraging remains a priority.
FY 2026 outlook confirmed: moderate revenue decline, significant EBITDA increase, and stable net debt expected.
Content and platform strategy
Focus on strengthening local genres and leveraging popular formats for mass reach across TV and digital platforms.
Multi-platform approach maximizes total video reach (~61m monthly), with strong cross-platform performance for key shows.
Joyn continues to deliver strong growth in users (+15%), viewtime (+20%), and AVOD revenues (+14%).
Audio business and HD distribution are emerging growth drivers, supported by new long-term distribution deals.
