COMMENTS

  • Entertainment revenues increased by 5%, both on reported basis and on portfolio and currency-adjusted basis
  • Entertainment advertising DACH revenue growth of 5%, driven by solid growth in TV core business of 4%. In addition, Digital & Smart advertising revenues continued to grow by 9%, mainly driven by streaming platform Joyn, which increased its AVoD revenues by 50% in Q1 2024 vs. Q1 2023
  • Distribution revenues grew by 9% in Q1 2024 due to higher reach and increased HD penetration through full coverage on all major distribution platforms
  • Main growth driver of Other was Joyn (SVoD business)
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased significantly by 47% despite announced increase in programming expenses. At EUR 242m, they were 8% or EUR 18m above previous year's quarter. However, this negative effect was more than offset by positive revenue development of high-margin advertising business and lower costs due to efficiency program implemented last year
