Revenue amounted to €6,231 million, down -3% at constant scope and exchange rates:
On a reported data basis, revenue was down -2% due to +€50 million in scope changes (mainly including the consolidation of SPI at Canal+ since March 2022, the acquisitions of Havas and the impacts of the disposal of Bolloré Africa Logistics), and +€0.3 million in foreign exchange effects (depreciation of the euro against the US dollar and the Swiss franc, offset by the appreciation of the euro against the pound sterling).
Adjusted operating income (EBITA (4)) came out at €462 million, down -15% at constant scope and exchange rates:
Financial income totalled -€8 million compared with €533 million in first half 2022.It includes an increase in dividends received (FL Entertainment, Mediaset, Telefonica, etc.) and investment income. In the first half 2022, it included €526m in capital gains on Banijay Holdings Group, following the exchange by Vivendi of its 32.9% stake in Banijay for 19.9% in FL Entertainment (FLE), listed since July 1, 2022.
The share of net income from equity-accounted non-operating companies was -€41 million, compared to -€210 million in first-half 2022. It includes -€60 million share in net income of MultiChoice and €19 million contribution from Socfin Group. In first half 2022, it included the -€235 million share in the net income of Telecom Italia (6).
After incorporating a tax expense of -€139 million (versus -€114 million in first half 2022), consolidated net income amounted to €235 million versus €947 million in first half 2022, which included the capital gain on the contribution of the stake in Banijay Holdings Group to FL Entertainment (€526 million) and the contribution of Bolloré Africa Logistics.
Net income Group share came out at €114 million versus €562 million in first half 2022.
Equity amounted to €37,316 million compared with €36,568 million at December 31, 2022, given the appreciation in the share prices of securities held, as well as the disposal of Vivendi shares, which offset the acquisition of Bolloré shares via its simplified cash tender offer.

Glossary
The non-GAAP measures defined below should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for other GAAP measures of operating and financial performance, and Bolloré considers these to be relevant indicators of the Group's operational and financial performance. Furthermore, it should be noted that other companies may define and calculate these indicators differently. It is therefore possible that the indicators used by Bolloré cannot be directly compared with those of other companies.
The percentage changes indicated in this document are calculated in relation to the same period of the preceding fiscal year, unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding in this presentation, the sum of some data may not correspond exactly to the calculated total and the percentage may not correspond to the calculated variation.
