Q1 2023 revenue of €662 million, up +5% on a 2022 pro forma basis
The revenue in Q1 2023 amounts to €662 million.
On a pro forma basis in 2022, including the acquisitions of Aleda and L'Addition over the full year, its growth came out at +5.3%. Compared to Q1 2022 reported figures, the increase was +8.0% based on stakes which increased by +8.6% to €5,495 million.
The business was well oriented across the entire offering and all distribution channels:
- Point-of-sale stakes rose +6.9% to €4.797 million, reflecting good traffic level and the attractiveness of FDJ's offering.
- Online stakes continued their good momentum, driven by both lottery and sports betting. They were up +21.3% to nearly €700 million, a performance mainly attributable to the increase in the number of players. Thus, online stakes account for nearly 13% of total stakes.
- Lottery revenue totalled €497 million, a +6.4% increase due to growth in draw games and instant games stakes.
- The performance of Loto and Euromillions was mainly attributable to the increase in stakes related to high jackpots;
- That of instant games reflects the success of the animation of the games portfolio, with the launch of the Carré Or
one-off game in January, despite a high comparison base that benefited from the relaunch of the bestseller Cash in February 2022.
- Sports betting pursue their good momentum recorded since summer 2022, amplified by the football World Cup, with strong growth in stakes. However, the high level of player winnings in Q1 2023 led to stability of revenue from sports betting and online gaming open to competition, at €129 million.
