Turnover 1st quarter 2021
Closure of the casinos throughout the quarter
Paris, 10th March 2021, 06:00 pm – Groupe Partouche, one of the European gaming leaders, published today its consolidated turnover for the 1st quarter of 2021 (November 2020 – January 2021)
Business stopped
All French casinos were closed during this 1st quarter under general measures taken by the Government to deal with the covid-19 pandemic. Abroad, the casinos of Ostend (Belgium) and Meyrin (Switzerland) also remained closed. The casino of Crans-Montana (Switzerland) was able to welcome its customers for a short period between 14th and 26th December 2020 inclusive, on reduced hours between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. The Djerba casino (Tunisia) remained open but forced by a curfew starting at 8 p.m.
As a result, the Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) stood at € 24.9 M, down -85.8%. It focuses only on foreign casinos and more particularly on Swiss online gaming, which started on 16th November 2020, and Belgian online gaming and betting. Their overall GGR more than doubled to € 24.3 M, an increase of + 132.3%.
After levies, Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) decreased by -78.4% to € 22.3 M.
Overall, the turnover of 1st quarter amounted to € 23.5 M, down -81.4%.
The non-gaming activity generated a turnover of € 1.2 M (-95.0%) thanks in particular to the opening of a few hotels housed in the Group’s casinos and the Aquabella hotel in Aix-en-Provence.
Subpoena against its former insurance company
Groupe Partouche has sued its former insurance company, which is contesting its claim for operating losses compensation following the ban on its establishments from hosting its clientele.
State guaranteed loan
After a first State Guaranteed Loan (PGE) of € 19.5 M granted by the Group’ partner banks in June 2020, these same banks have given their approval for a second PGE for an amount of € 59.5 M.

Turnover 1st quarter 2022: 98.1 €M (compared to € 23.5 M in 2021)
Reopening of all casinos, sharp increase in the average basket,

Improved cash flow and early repayment of the state-guaranteed loan (PGE)
Paris, 8th March 2022, 06:00 pm – Groupe Partouche, one of the European gaming leaders, published today its consolidated turnover for the 1st quarter of 2022 (November 2021 – January 2022)
As a preamble, let us recall that during the 1st quarter of the previous financial year “2021” (November 2020 to January 2021), all French casinos were closed under the general measures taken by the Government to deal with the coronavirus pandemic Covid-19. Abroad, the casinos of Ostend (Belgium) and Meyrin (Switzerland) also remained closed. The Crans-Montana casino (Switzerland) was able to welcome its customers for a short period of only 13 days with reduced hours. The Djerba casino (Tunisia) remained open but constrained by a curfew. Only Swiss online games, deployed on 16th November 2020, and online games and betting in Belgium were in operation.
In the 1st quarter of the current financial year (November 2021 to January 2022), the Group’s casinos are all open again, but continue to suffer from the health constraints in place that weigh on their attendance:
- In France: “sanitary pass”, paid antigenic and PCR tests together with the introduction of the “vaccination pass” as from 24th January 2022.
However, if attendance is sharply down (-33.0%) compared to the 1st quarter 2020 (November 2019 to January 2020) which was the last pre-pandemic operating period, the average basket increased by +30.3 % to € 94 over the same period.
- In Switzerland: introduction of the “vaccination pass” on 20th December 2021, then lifted on 17th February2022.
In addition, the 1st quarter 2022 takes into account an effect in the scope of consolidation linked to the cessation of the operation of online games and bets in Belgium together with the cessation of the Ostend casino management since 29th July 2021 (in the 1st quarter of 2021, the casino being closed, the GGR of online games and sports betting amounted to € 23.7 M and € 13.6 M in the 1st quarter of 2020. This includes € 10.4 M for online games and sports betting).
Turnover 1st quarter 2022: € 98.1 M (compared to € 23.5 M in 2021)
Taking into account the above-mentioned elements, the Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) amounted to € 141.8 M over the 1st quarter 2022 compared to € 24.9 M in 2021. We note in particular the strong growth of Swiss online games, the GGR of which stands at € 3.2 M compared to € 0.6 M during the 1st quarter 2021. The Net Gaming Revenue, after levies, strongly increased to € 82.5 M (compared to € 22.3 M in N-1).
Overall, turnover for the 1st quarter of 2022 amounted to € 98.1 M, compared to € 23.5 M for 2021 (x4.2) and € 126.7 M for 2020, down -22.6 % (on a like-for-like basis, turnover is € 115.2 M, down -14.8%).
Early repayment of the State Guaranteed Loan (PGE) thanks to the improvement in cash flow linked to the strong recovery in the activity
While Groupe Partouche had decided to amortize the first State Guaranteed Loan (PGE) of € 19.5 M granted in June 2020 over the maximum period of 6 years, the very favourable evolution of its cash position will allow it to repay its entire second PGE, of € 59.5 M, on maturity date i.e. 15th April 2022.
With the agreement of the banks forming the syndicated loan pool, the net proceeds from the sale of the group’s shares of the Crans-Montana casino, which could have been used to proportionally amortize this loan, will be reinvested as it is also provided for in the credit documentation.
Removal from the scope of consolidation of the restaurant Le Laurent as of 7th March 2022
The City of Paris awarded the concession for the Le Laurent restaurant to another operator, the offer submitted by Groupe Partouche, which aimed to integrate its gaming club within the establishment, having been considered irregular by the City. Groupe Partouche reserves the right to contest this decision. As a reminder, the annual contribution to turnover and EBITDA for the 2019 pre-pandemic financial year (November 2018 to October 2019) amounted to € 5.2 M and -€ 1.1 M respectively.
