(1) APM (Alternative Performance Measure) Total revenue from activities, including revenue from non-trading activities and revenue from player contract transfers.
TICKETING: €6.2 million (vs. €7.3 million as of 09/30/24, down €1.1 million i.e. -15%)
Domestic ticket sales amounted to €6.2 million, compared with €6.7 million in N-1, down €0.5 million, or -7%, including revenue from three Ligue 1 matches like in N-1.
As the first match of the 2025/2026 Europa League group stage was played away, no European ticket sales were recorded as of September 30, 2025, compared to €0.6 million in N-1 (one home match).
MEDIA AND MARKETING RIGHTS: €8.3 million (vs. €9.1 million as of 09/30/24, down €0.8 million i.e.
-9%)
LFP/FFF TV rights amounted to €1.8 million (with a 2nd place in Ligue 1 as of 09/30/25) compared to €2.8 million as of September 30, 2024 (11th place in Ligue 1), representing a 35% decrease. Following the early termination of the DAZN/LFP contract in June 2025, Ligue 1 matches have been broadcast since the start of the 2025/2026 season via the "Ligue 1+" platform, created by the LFP, and via BeIN SPORTS. As of September 30, 2025, LFP TV rights revenues are calculated on the basis of the LFP's provisional distribution guide, which does not take into account revenues from the Ligue 1+ channel, but only the contract with BeIN SPORTS, international rights, and the DAZN termination indemnity. Additional revenues related to the Ligue 1+ channel are expected to be recorded in the current financial year. The LFP anticipates that the first two years of operation of the platform will be financially difficult, with a significant drop in revenues, followed by a gradual increase in the following years.
The club's participation in the Europa League group stage (as in N-1) will generate UEFA TV rights revenue of €6.5 million as of September 30, 2025, compared with €6.3 million in N-1.
SPONSORING - ADVERTISING: €7.7 million (vs. €6.7 million as of 09/30/24, i.e. +€1.0 million, +15%)
Partnership and advertising revenues performed well at €7.7 million (vs. €6.7 million as of 09/30/24), up 15%, thanks to the signing of new partnership agreements, including an agreement signed with the Government of the Republic of Congo for four sporting seasons (2025/2026 to 2028/2029).
BRAND-RELATED REVENUE: €5.5 million (vs. €6.0 million as of 09/30/24, down €0.4 million, i.e. -7%)
Brand products amounted to €5.5 million, compared with €6.0 million as of September 30, 2024, with a slight increase in derivative products (+5%) and a decrease in other brand products (-€0.6 million) linked in particular to residual amounts recorded in N-1.
EVENTS: €2.4 million (vs. €7.5 million as of 09/30/24, down €5.1 million, i.e. -68%)
Revenues from major events amounted to €1.8 million (vs. €6.1 million as of 09/30/24), with the Imagine Dragon concert on July 3, 2025. In N-1, activity was particularly intense with eleven soccer matches as part of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and a France/Belgium game as part of the UEFA Nations League.
Revenues from seminars and tours amounted to €0.6 million (vs. €1.5 million as of September 30, 2024).
SALE OF PLAYERS: €40.7 million (vs. €29.7 million as of 09/30/24, i.e. +€11.0 million, i.e. +37%)
In line with the new objectives of reducing personnel costs and improving results, player trading activity was intense during the 2025 summer transfer window.
