  • Bonne Progression Du Chiffre D'affaires Du Groupe Au Premier
    COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Information financière du premier trimestre 2021 Le 22 avril 2021 Bonne progression du chiffre d’affaires du Groupe au premier trimestre 2021 : 6 102 millions d’euros, en hausse de 6 % à périmètre et taux de change constants Chiffre d’affaires du premier trimestre 2021 A périmètre et taux de change constants, le chiffre d’affaires du premier trimestre 2021 du Groupe est en progression de 6 % à 6 102 millions d’euros. Cette évolution intègre principalement : . ❖ une croissance de 15 % de l’activité transport et logistique grâce à la commission de transport notamment portée par la hausse des volumes et des taux de fret dans le trafic aérien et maritime. La contraction des activités logistiques en Afrique est en grande partie compensée par la bonne marche de l’activité des concessions portuaires ; ❖ le retrait de 10 % de l’activité logistique pétrolière en raison de la baisse des prix des produits pétroliers et des volumes vendus ; ❖ la progression des activités communication (+5 %) portée essentiellement par la croissance d’Universal Music Group (+9 %) et d’Editis (+40 %) ; ❖ la progression de l’activité stockage d’électricité et systèmes (+24 %) principalement grâce à la croissance de Blue Solutions et BlueBus. En données publiées, le chiffre d’affaires progresse de 2 % par rapport au chiffre d’affaires du premier trimestre 2020, compte tenu d’effets de change défavorables de -213 millions d’euros et d’un effet de périmètre de +20 millions d’euros.

    LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS TOGETHER SEPTEMBER 2020 EARNINGS P. 3 NEWS P. 4 DIARY P. 8 — 2020 half-year — Universal Music Group — Shareholders’ diary results expands its global footprint Vivendi and you VALIDÉ, CRÉATION ORIGINALE OF CANAL+ © Fifou/Mandarin Télévision/Canal+ Photos/DR GOOD HALF-YEAR RESULTS Yannick Bolloré, Chairman of the Supervisory board, and Arnaud de Puyfontaine, Chairman of the Management Board Dear Shareholders, ivendi has demonstrated its resilience over the past few unprecedented months by staying the strategic course set in 2014: to build a world leader in culture, at the crossroads of the entertainment, media and communications industries. Our group’s business model is both coherent and diversified, which is a significant asset. Vivendi operates in a number of different sectors and countries, and can therefore offset the difficulties encountered in one market with a strong performance in another. In addition, the group’s digital activities have been fully developed, which proved advantageous during the lockdowns. Finally, the revenues generated Vfrom its two main businesses, music and audiovisual content, are directly or indirectly linked to subscriptions, a business model with recurring revenues. In a very difficult environment, Vivendi generated an adjusted net income of €583 million in the first half of 2020, up 5.4%. For the second half, we are carefully analyzing the consequences of the crisis. Today, it is difficult to determine how it will impact the annual results. Nevertheless, Vivendi remains confident in the resilience of its main businesses, music and audiovisual content. Those tied to advertising and live performance may be affected for a more extended period than the others.

  • Le Irregolarità Nella Governance Di Telecom Italia Evidenziate Dal
    Parigi, 8 marzo 2019 Traduzione di cortesia dall'originale Le irregolarità nella governance di Telecom Italia evidenziate dal report del Collegio Sindacale rafforzano la volontà di Vivendi di richiedere il ritorno a un Consiglio di Amministrazione più equilibrato Vivendi è estremamente preoccupata da quanto evidenziato dal report pubblicato oggi1 dal Collegio Sindacale di Telecom Italia che sottolinea l’esistenza di gravi irregolarità legate alla governance della società e al suo Consiglio di Amministrazione, in gran parte formato da Consiglieri della lista Elliott. Dal report emerge che il Presidente del Board di TIM ha violato i regolamenti aziendali, oltre che le più basilari e fondamentali regole di governance. Il report conferma la presenza di un “Consiglio di Amministrazione ombra”, composto esclusivamente da Consiglieri nominati da Elliott. Questo “Consiglio di Amministrazione ombra” si è avvalso in questa occasione del supporto di advisor legali che in passato hanno ricoperto la funzione di advisor per Elliott. Inoltre, i fatti descritti nel report dimostrano la diffusione di informazioni privilegiate a terze parti prima di una riunione del Consiglio di Amministrazione. Questi timori rafforzano la convinzione di Vivendi che gli azionisti di TIM debbano istituire un Consiglio di Amministrazione totalmente indipendente in occasione dell’Assemblea degli Azionisti del 29 marzo. Tale Consiglio di Amministrazione ristabilirebbe le condizioni e tutele di governance necessarie per permettere una corretta gestione dell’azienda, a beneficio di tutti i suoi azionisti, dipendenti e stakeholder. Da quando Elliott ha assunto il controllo del Consiglio di Amministrazione di TIM, il prezzo del titolo dell’azienda è diminuito circa del 35% ad oggi. Vivendi Dal 2014, Vivendi si è concentrata nella creazione di un gruppo internazionale, ma al contempo europeo, attivo nel settore della content creation, media e comunicazione.

  • 24 Juin 2021 EDITIS, HAVAS, CSA, PRISMA MEDIA…
    COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE EDITIS, HAVAS, CSA, PRISMA MEDIA… UNISSENT LEURS FORCES ET LANCENT HERE POUR ACCOMPAGNER LE REDEMARRAGE D’UN TOURISME MONDIAL RESPONSABLE Parce que la reprise attendue du tourisme mondial se prépare maintenant pour tous les grands acteurs du secteur et qu’elle nécessite des solutions nouvelles, les entités du groupe Vivendi s’unissent dans une proposition de valeur inédite et sous un nouvel étendard : Here. La pandémie de COVID-19 a mis l’ensemble du tourisme international à l’arrêt depuis plus d’un an. Alors que la vaccination laisse entrevoir la reprise progressive du tourisme en dehors des frontières nationales d’ici la fin d’année, 77% des Prosumers* aspirent à voyager en dehors de leur pays et 64% des affluent travelers ne rêvent que de voyager à nouveau. L’organisation mondiale du tourisme prévoit quant à elle 2 milliards de touristes d’ici à 2035. Autant dire que le redémarrage touristique attendu s’annonce capital pour ses principaux acteurs. « Dans ce contexte, les destinations touristiques vont devoir se livrer une guerre commerciale sans merci pour capter ces flux de néo-touristes post-COVID, déclare Béatrice Speisser, Chief Transformation Officer du groupe Havas France. Une partie de l’équation se jouera dans la proposition de valeur qu’elles pourront chacune offrir et dans leur capacité à répondre à la quête de sens protéiforme des touristes du monde entier. » La pandémie n’a pas uniquement fait naître de nouvelles préoccupations en matière de sécurité sanitaire. Elle a également catalysé des mouvements contradictoires entre ceux qui aspirent à voyager mieux et plus responsable (slow tourism, éco-tourisme…) et ceux qui découvrent le tourisme de masse et s’adonnent au « binge » tourisme.
