Strong growth in 2022 annual turnover: € 388.8 M
Sustained dynamics with the normalization of the operations
Growth of +2.0% vs 2019 at a constant scope

Paris, 13th December 2022, 06:00 p.m. – Groupe Partouche, a European leader in gaming, publishes today its consolidated turnover for the 4th quarter 2022 (August – October 2022) together with the entire fiscal year (November 2021 – October 2022).

Very good dynamics during the 4th quarter

In the 4th quarter of 2022, Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) rises by +20.3% to € 178.8 M, compared to € 148.7 M a year earlier. At constant scope (€ 178.0 M), it increases by +21.7% compared to the 4th quarter of 2021 and by +8.3% compared to the 4th quarter of 2019.

In France, 4th quarter 2022 GGR increases by +21.3% over one year to € 162.3 M, driven by all forms of games: +18.1% for slot machines, +44.4% for non-electronic table games and +28.1% for electronic games.

Abroad, GGR is up +11.4% compared to the 4th quarter of 2021, at € 16.5 M, with the growth of Swiss online games (+89.2%) mitigating the scope effects (see below). On a like-for-like basis, GGR abroad increases by +14.9% compared to 2019.

In total, Net Gaming Revenue after levies, increases by +5.5% to € 77.1 M in the 4th quarter 2022. Turnover for the 4th quarter 2022 amounts to € 100.7 M, up +6.7% year-on-year, after taking into account turnover from other activities.

Return to pre-crisis level of activity (+2.0% vs 2019 at a constant scope)

Since the lifting of all health restrictions relating to Covid-19 in all geographical areas, and more particularly in France in mid-March 2022, the Group’s activities have recorded sustained and regular growth.

Gross Gaming Revenue amounts to € 636.7 M in fiscal year 2022, up +81.8% year-on-year. The growth of the GGR is mainly explained by the resumption of the operations of all the establishments (the previous financial year having been marked by almost no operation in its first half).

The GGR also takes into account the following scope effects:

  • in Belgium, the cessation of the operation of online games and bets and the management of the Ostend casino since 29th July 2021 (GGR of € 72.6 M in 2021 and € 46.4 M in 2019 – note, however, particularly high charges which will also be extinguished) and the entry into the Group of the Middelkerke casino from 1st July 2022, for an opening on 8th July 2022 after some renovation works (GGR of € 1.0 M in 2022);
  • in Switzerland, the disposal of the stake held in the Crans-Montana casino on 31st January 2022 (GGR of € 5.3 M in 2021 and € 13.0 M in 2019).

Thus, Net Gaming Revenue amounts to € 305.5 M, up +41.5% vs. 2021 after taking into consideration the increase in levies taking into account the progressive scale.

Non-gaming revenue rises sharply by +109.2% to € 86.1 M, driven by restaurants and hotels due to the good momentum of the casinos. A good progression of the Aquabella hotel in Aix-en-Provence (+82.5%) should be noted in particular.

In total, annual turnover for 2022 amounts to € 388.8 M, up +52.0% compared to 2021. At constant scope, it increases by +108.2% compared to 2021 and by +2.0% compared to 2019, the last pre-Covid financial year.

Upcoming event:

Income of fiscal year at 31st October 2022: Tuesday 24th January, following stock market closure.

GROUPE PARTOUCHE: Annual Income 2022/2023 – Income driven by the strong growth in the activity

groupe-partouche:-annual-income-2022/2023-–-income-driven-by-the-strong-growth-in-the-activity

Annual Income 2022/2023

Income driven by the strong growth in the activity
        

  • Turnover:                                        € 423.8 M (+9.0%)
  • EBITDA:                                          € 76.1 M (+0.7%)
  • Current operation income:             € 27.4 M (+18.3%)
  • Net income:                                    € 23.4 M1
  • Solid financial situation                  Gearing of 0.1x and leverage of 0.8x
  • Continuation of the investment programme and confidence in the prospects

Paris, 30th January 2024, 06:00 p.m.

During its meeting held on the 30th January 2024 and after having reviewed the management report of Groupe Partouche Executive Board, the Supervisory Board examined the annual accounts at 31st October 2023, that are being audited.

Strong growth in the annual turnover

The Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) records a strong growth over the financial year reaching € 701.5 M, compared to € 636.7 M in 2022 (+10.2%), a financial year which was still penalized by health restrictions until mid-March 2022. This good performance is fuelled by the growth in the slot machines GGR (+7.6%), the GGR of electronic forms of traditional games in France (+20.3%) and the online games in Switzerland (+41.6%).

Advertisement

The Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) increases to € 332.9 M over the whole year by +9.0%, benefiting from a favourable effect over the first part of the year.

Turnover excluding NGR improves by +9.6% to € 94.3 M.

Globally, the 2023 consolidated turnover increases by +9.0% reaching € 423.8 M.

Goof financial performance

EBITDA appears generally stable at € 76.1 M (compared to € 75.6 M a year earlier) and represents 18.0% of turnover. However, restated for additional “closure” aids received in the previous financial year in the amount of € 4.9 M, 2023 the EBITDA increases by +€ 5.4 M, demonstrating a significant improvement in operational performance.

Advertisement

Current Operating Income (COI) increases reaching € 27.4 M (+18.3%), thanks to the return to normal activity over the entire financial year, and mainly under the influence of the casino sector.

Purchases & external expenses increases by +€ 20.6 M (+16.9%), mainly impacted by:

  • Purchases of materials up by +€ 7.4 M (+19.5%) resulting both from the surge in energy prices of +€ 4.8 M (+43.1%) and the increase in purchases of solids and liquids for +€ 2.0 M (+11.5%) thus reflecting the dynamics of the activity;
  • Advertising & marketing costs and fees up respectively by +€ 8.0 M (+38.2%) and +€ 2.0 M (+9.9%) directly linked with the return to a normal activity and marketing operations related to the 50 year anniversary of Groupe Partouche (particularly through the free allocation of “promo credits” for games, an increase of +€ 4.7 M).
  • In opposition, the Meyrin casino, whose concession renewal was obtained for a period of 20 years until 2045, reduces advertising expenses and communication fees related to its online activity (-€ 0.8 M, or -9.0%).

Taxes and duties decrease from € 17.3 M in 2022 to € 16.9 M in 2023, i.e. -2.1%.

Employees expenses reach € 177.2 M, up by +€ 9.3 M (+5.5%) mainly due to the effects of the increase in the legal minimum wage as at 1st January & 1st May 2023, the revaluation of 2023 salary scales and the end of the use of the partial activity regime from which the Group had benefited in the previous financial year.

The change in amortization and depreciation of fixed assets, down by -4.9% to € 48.9 M, reflects the various ends of depreciation cycles as well as the limitation of renewal investments during the health crisis.

The item “Other current operating income and expenses” represents a net expense of -€ 10.8 M, compared to +€ 6.9 M over the previous financial year. This is due to the fact that the Group no longer benefits from the Government additional “closure” aid amounting to € 4.9 M over the financial year in order to fight the consequences of the health crisis. Moreover, the expenses related to the casinos’ concessions specifications increase (+€ 0.5M), correlatively to GGR. Conversely, we note a favourable trend in changes in the provisions.

Advertisement

The 2023 Operating Income reaches € 27.4 M, after considering a non-current operating income (NCOI) almost at zero (+€ 0.04 M). It is to be compared to the 2022 operating income of € 40.7 M which took into account a NCOI of +€ 17.6M, principally composed of a result on the disposal of consolidated shares of +€ 14.1 M relating to the sale of 57% of the shares of the Crans-Montana casino.

The financial income totalled -€ 2.9 M (compared to -€ 2.3 M in 2022). This increase is mainly due to the financial expenses linked to IFRS 16 rental debts (€ 1.2 M, including € 0.8 M for the Middelkerke casino alone). Furthermore, in the context of rising interest rates, the group’s annual average cost of debt increases slightly (+€ 1.2 M) despite the further reduction in the Group’s gross debt. This increase is, however, largely offset by investment income which is up by +€ 1.4 M.

Tax expenses (CVAE included) is globally stable (-€ 1.1 M compared to € 1.2 M in 2022).

Ultimately, Groupe Partouche generates a profit of € 23.4 M (of which the Group’s share amounts to € 18.9 M) compared to € 37.1 M in 2022.

Healthy and solid financial structure

Advertisement

We can note an increase in the non-current assets of the consolidated balance sheet by +€ 20.5 M due to:

  • The increase in “tangible fixed assets” (+€ 16.7 M) resulting, among other things, from ongoing investments in various establishment renovation projects, more particularly, an increase in the item fixed assets in progress of +€ 18.7 M (including mainly the works at the casinos of the Lyon Vert for € 9.1 M, Annemasse for € 4.5 M and Middelkerke for € 1.8 M) as well as the item advances and deposits on fixed assets for +€ 10.1 M (including, essentially, the works at the casinos of Saint-Amand for € 7.4 M and Divonne for € 1.6 M);
  • The increase in shareholdings in equity-accounted companies due in particular to the acquisition of an additional 34% stake in the companies of the La Pensée Sauvage division (+€ 2.3 M).

Conversely, we note a decrease in the current assets of -€ 14.4 M principally due to active cash consumption of -€ 17.5 M explained by investments during the period, mainly financed by issuing new bank loans and through the payment of dividends to the Group’s shareholders, as well as to minority shareholders, amounting to € 6.7 M in total.

On the liabilities side, the Group’s Equity, minority shareholders included, increases by +€ 12.8 M reaching € 366.9 M following the beneficiary income of the financial year that amounted to € 18.9 M (Group’s share).

The financial debt decreases by -€ 8.4 M (current and non-current share) 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 -€ 17.2 M;
  • the setting up of new credits for +€ 21.5 M;
  • as well as the net impact of lease contracts treatment according to IFRS 16 for -€ 1.2 M (notably up, the subscriptions of new real estate contracts found in an increase in non-current assets, and down, the payment of deadlines of the financial year).

The financial debt amounts to € 53.9 M, up by € 7.6 M.

The financial structure of the Group remains healthy with the ratios of leverage (Net Debt / EBITDA) and gearing (Net Debt/Equity) respectively of 0.8x and 0.1x (compared to 0.7x and 0.1x in 2022).

Middelkerke (Belgium)

Since the partnership signed last June, between Groupe Partouche and Betsson, the Middelkerke casino has been granted the necessary license authorising the operation of attractive online casino games adapted to the Belgian regulated market, starting from the end of January 2024.

Furthermore, the Middelkerke casino that was temporarily operated in an outlying hotel since its entry into the Group in July 2022, is to be transferred at the end of March, to the seafront, a privileged location.

Dividends under financial year 2022/2023

After the resumption last year of the distribution policy, Groupe Partouche plans to distribute a dividend again for the 2022/2023 financial year, the amount and payment terms of which will soon be specified and submitted to a shareholders’ vote during the General Meeting to be held on 20th March 2024.

Continuation of the investments in the existing sites

Constantly aiming in its establishments for excellence in the customer experience, the Group continues to enrich its offering and renovates its casino fleet in order to improve its performance, in that respect:

  • The Le Lyon Vert casino in La Tour-de-Salvagny is undergoing a major restructuring of its existing spaces with the creation of an important extension on two levels (ground floor and 1st floor). The project should end in May 2024;
  • Extensive works continue at the Annemasse casino. The left wing and a first outdoor smoking room were opened at the end of December 2023. The second phase of work, which will be completed in the summer of 2024, will notably make it possible to create an extension to the front and a second outdoor room;
  • The Divonne casino is undergoing a total renovation in order to regain its initial grandeur. This should be completed in September 2024;
  • The Contrexéville casino will benefit from a reorganization: the games main room will be transferred under the theater decor and the restaurant will also be positioned on the park side with an adjoining kitchen. Initiated in November 2023, the project should be completed in December 2024;
  • The Vichy casino is undergoing a complete renovation, which aims to increase the gaming areas, modernize and enhance the services offered by this emblematic establishment. Works are scheduled to end in June 2025;
  • Other sites’ renovations will be initiated in the 2024 financial year, in particular for the Saint-Amand-les-Eaux casino.

The current operating income (COI) of the casino sector reaches € 36.9 M, an increase of +€ 7.1 M (+23.8%), driven by the good momentum of the Group’s casinos. Activity in this sector is increasing with a change in turnover of +€ 32.4 M (+9.2%). All operating expenses increase by € 25.4 M, they include in particular an increase in purchases and external expenses (+€ 18.1 M, or +16.4%). Conversely, depreciation and amortization on fixed assets fell by € 2.3 M, reflecting the slowdown in the casinos renovation program during previous financial years due to the health crisis, as well as the end of investment cycles, more particularly the depreciation of electronic game equipment.

It should be noted that online games in Switzerland have reached the profitability threshold: the COI amounts to € 0.5 M over the financial year and this for the first time since their deployment at the end of 2020.

The COI of the hotel sector returns to deficit despite the increase in turnover of +12.0%. It has been penalized by the increase in operational expenses (notably raw materials, energy and salaries) and by the presence in 2022 of the latest non-recurring aid measures linked to the health crisis.

Finally, the COI of the “Other” sector deteriorates to -€ 9.2 M over the financial year, compared to -€ 6.9 M in 2022.
