TF1 GROUP INTEGRATED REPORT

Message from our Chairman & CEO

"OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ARE SOLID,

AND OUR STRATEGIC PROGRESS SIGNIFICANT. I AM CONVINCED THAT EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE FOR OUR GROUP TO APPROACH THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE."

RODOLPHE BELMER CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF THE TF1 GROUP

Ladies, Gentlemen, dear Shareholders,

2023 was an eventful year for the Group. In a difficult macroeconomic environment, which required us to adapt on all fronts, we achieved solid financial results and met our targets. Our profitability remains strong, with a 12.5% current operating margin from activities, close to that of 2022, while we continued to generate solid cash flow - enabling us to propose a dividend of fifty-five eurocents (€0.55) per share, up 10%.

These results illustrate our operational successes.

First, revenue. Against the backdrop of macro headwinds impacting the advertising market, our ad sales house turned in an outstanding performance, culminating in record marketing of the Rugby World Cup, demonstrating our ability to better monetize major events. Regarding production, much like the rest of the sector, Newen Studios was penalised by a slowdown in investment from traditional broadcasters and international streaming platforms. That said, Newen Studios is built on a solid track record which was strengthened in 2023; a year during which we further developed our projects. What's more, our diversification activities posted a good performance, positively contributing to the Group's results.

Second, audience. Despite programming costs discipline aimed at absorbing fluctuations in the advertising market, we performed better than consolidating our audience share among commercial targets, thanks to the excellent momentum of our channels and the contribution of streaming, notching up almost 19 billion viewing hours a year both in linear and streaming. On the back of a 34.0% audience share, our Group has delivered its best performance in 15 years in theW<50PDM target audience (Women aged under 50 purchasing decisionmakers), with a

12.1 pts head start on its direct challenger. We have also cemented our leader position in another strategic commercial target, namely 25-49-year-olds, achieving audience share of 30.6% (+10.1 pts vs. our direct challenger). TF1 remains the outright market leader, increasing the audience gap with its main rival and recording the highest ratings of the year across all genres. In addition, TMC, TFX and TF1 Séries Films confirmed their strong performance. Not to mention the inroads made by LCI, which, with annual audience share of 2.0%, found its audience and markedly stood out for its rigorous editorial stance.

2023 also saw us prepare the groundwork for our digital strategy, not only in streaming, but also in data and advertising technologies. Our ambitions are far-reaching, establishing the Group as the primary free-to-air destination for family entertainment and high-quality newsflow on the TV screen in France. We strive for a presence on all screens, fulfilling French people's usage expectations which are increasingly geared towards on-demand content viewing. In doing so, we will obtain a larger share in value of the digital advertising market. The latter is worth approximately €2 billion, with annual growth of 10 to 15%. This strategic move will help finance a high-quality linear and non-linear programming line-up,long-term, with a strong emphasis on news and information, but also on eye-catching and family-friendly content that has always contributed to our success.

Lastly, in 2023, our Group was again recognised for its commitment to social and environmental responsibility. The TF1 group has become the first private television broadcaster in Europe to obtain Journalism Trust Initiative (JTI) certification: we officially join the list of players that meet the criteria for trustworthy journalism, established by Reporters Without Borders. Another notable achievement is the validation of our decarbonisation trajectory under the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) organisation, which marks a first for a French audiovisual media group.

In the months ahead, we intend to sustain this positive momentum by actively and purposefully reaching our three strategic goals. In linear advertising, we will strengthen our leadership in the linear advertising market through a premium content offering and a differentiating reach. With TF1+, we will become the leading free streaming platform in France, by leveraging the potential of our editorial line and maximising the value of our digital inventory by strengthening our data strategy. In production, we will establish Newen Studios as a key European studio with French roots.

To this end, we already kick-started a number of significant projects at the start of 2024.

First among these is the launch of Bonjour ! La Matinale TF1, hosted by Bruce Toussaint. This third major daily news programme, with its editorial line complementing our news bulletins and LCI, will help us consolidate our leadership among individuals aged 4 and over and reiterate our journalistic ambitions: to deliver premium news coverage that is honourable and respectful. News coverage that one would expect from France's number-one news source.

The second initiative is the launch of Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle, which follows our lunchtime (1pm) news bulletin. It is the third daily show on TF1 that is produced by Newen Studios. This is a testament to the Group's unrivalled expertise in strategic industry-scale projects, and an opportunity to create strong synergies which will directly impact our linear and especially our digital audiences.

The third and final project involves the roll-out of TF1+, which enjoys top visibility on almost all operator set-top boxes and connected televisions, and available to download. As the first-of-its kind in France, and most likely, in the world, this initiative grants free 24/7 access to more than 15,000 hours of premium content at any time, including several hundred full-length films and series. The decision to run a free service is what distinguishes us from an audiovisual landscape of paid platforms. Moreover, it confirms our key status in video advertising and above all, it demonstrates our determination to provide best-in- class news and entertainment to the largest possible audience, free of price barriers to entry. That is the driving force behind our cultural project - ″les Français ensemble″.

To fund these developments while preserving the Group's profitability and cash flow, we announced an optimisation plan aimed at gradually achieving over €40 million euros in operational cost savings from 2025 onwards, of which €10 to 15 million will be reinvested in the digital acceleration plan.

We have developed an ambitious roadmap for 2024, reflecting TF1's winning spirit., We have solid results, robust assets and committed employees who are united by a set of shared values and a powerful editorial and cultural project. All departments within the Group pulled together in a cohesive and impactful way to produce excellent results in only a matter of months. I am convinced that everything is in place for our Group to approach the future with confidence.

NO. 1

The French and international audiovisual landscape has undergone major changes in recent years. Content is consumed in various ways, from traditional linear viewing to an on-demand video universe where linear and non-linear coexist. Uses are converging and

PRIVATE SECTOR BROADCASTER IN FRANCE

WITH:

the broadcasting and distribution business continues to be fundamentally transformed by its interactions with digital. This transformation presents a clear opportunity to create value for both our audience and our advertising clients.

At the same time, demand for innovative, local and multi-genre content is sustained both in France and other European countries. Consumer tastes and expectations have become more demanding. In response, pure players like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+, along with traditional broadcasters, are now looking to production companies and their specialised know-how.

Positioned in these two emerging segments, the TF1 group is a key player in the French audiovisual industry and the leader of France's private television sector with a strong presence in content production and distribution. It seeks to strengthen this position in the coming years, by cementing its leader position and revenue in linear television thanks to a Premium content offering; developing France's first-everFree-To- View streaming platform through TF1+, with ambitions to establish itself as the primary free-to-air destination for news and family entertainement on the TV screen in France; and to establish Newen Studios as a key European production studio with French roots.

This strategy is part of a technological, editorial and cultural project, which harbours strong ambitions, namely to keep pace with fast-changing uses and expectations in an effort to continue uniting French people over the long term.
