Regulatory News:
Yannick Bolloré, Chairman of Vivendi's (Paris:VIV) Supervisory Board, and Arnaud de Puyfontaine, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Vivendi delivered a solid first quarter in 2026, with organic revenue growth of 1.3%, driven by Gameloft, which continues to successfully grow in a sluggish video game market. Its strategic rebalancing towards the PC/console segment is continuing.
Gameloft is once again demonstrating strong momentum with the announcement that two new video games adapted from extremely popular franchises will be launched over the coming months.
In line with our strategy of creating value in content, brands and cultural ecosystems, we acquired the luxury and lifestyle publications of Prisma Media at the end of March and launched the company V Collection. This new subsidiary will benefit from a highly supportive environment within our Group to develop its various activities in the high-end segment.
The value of our portfolio of listed holdings decreased* to €4.4 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to €5.5 billion as of December 31, 2025, due to the decline in Universal Music Group's share price."
*Note that since April 1, 2026, the portfolio has significantly appreciated and amounted to €5.2 billion as of April 20, 2026.
Vivendi's revenues
For the first quarter of 2026, Vivendi's revenues1 were €69 million, an increase of 1.3% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Gameloft
In a challenging environment for the video game industry, Gameloft recorded satisfactory revenues of €68 million for the first quarter of 2026, representing an increase of 1.3% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first quarter of 2025. This amount is split between €35 million for the PC/Consoles segment and €33 million for the Mobile segment.
The PC/Consoles segment represents 51% of revenues and increased by 11.0% at constant currency and perimeter compared to the first quarter of 2025. The Mobile segment represents 49% of revenues.
The five best-selling games in the first quarter of 2026 were Disney Dreamlight Valley, Asphalt Legends, Disney Magic Kingdoms, March of Empires, and Disney Speedstorm
Gameloft announced two new games scheduled for release in 2026 on PC and Consoles, adapted from prestigious and extremely popular franchises: Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next!, in collaboration with Paramount and Nickelodeon, scheduled for late May 2026, and Bluey's Happy Snaps, in collaboration with BBC and due for release this fall.
V Collection
On March 31, 2026, Vivendi acquired the luxury division of Prisma Media, which is now named V Collection.
This new subsidiary, which includes the French license of Harper's Bazaar, Côté Maison, IDEAT, MilK and The Good Life, fits into Vivendi's strategy focused on value creation in content, brands and cultural ecosystems. Vivendi has successfully driven the transformation of Gameloft over the past several years and, with V Collection, brings the same ambition to the luxury sector, where Harper's Bazaar has achieved a leading position in France in just three years.
Simultaneously with this acquisition, Vivendi acquired a 13.58% interest in Prisma Group, the holding company of Prisma Media, as part of a cash capital increase.
V Collection will contribute to Vivendi's consolidated revenues as from the second quarter of 2026.
