Situation financière 7 Dans la ligne des exercices précédents, la société TF1 a bénéficié d'une nouvelle croissance et présenté des résultats économiques et financiers remarquables pour l'exercice 2000. La société a en effet réalisé un chiffre d'affaires, essentiellement publicitaire, de près de 10 milliards de francs (9 785 MF soit 1 491 M€), en augmentation de 16%. TF1 reste de loin la première chaîne nationale en matière d'investissements publicitaires. Sa part de marché publicitaire1 a atteint 53,8 % en 2000 tandis que, dans le même temps, compte tenu de la concurrence accrue de l'offre des chaînes thématiques, sa part d'audience2 subissait une légère érosion avec 33,4 %. Grâce à un maintien soutenu des coûts, la première chaîne généraliste améliore encore ses marges. Elle a dégagé ainsi en 2000 un bénéfice net de 2 349 MF (358,1 M€), soit un quasi-doublement par rapport à l'exercice précédent (1 173 MF), qui lui permet d'afficher un taux de rentabilité nette (résultat net/chiffre d'affaires) de 24 % en 2000. S'agissant du groupe, les produits d'exploitation consolidés se sont élevés à près de 15 milliards de francs (14 892 MF soit 2 270,3 M€), soit une progression annuelle de 22,4 %. La diversification représente pour sa part 4 588 MF, soit près de 31 % de ce montant. Le résultat net consolidé-part du groupe qui prend en compte les pertes consolidées de TPS (réduites de 15 % en 2000) a atteint 1 642 MF (250,3 M€) contre 1 039 MF en 1999, en croissance de 58 %. Les éléments financiers relatifs à l'activité de diffuseur hertzien de la société TF1 et au groupe TF1 sont ci-après détaillés. 1. LA SOCIETE MERE 1.1. Les résultats sociaux Selon les données Secodip, dans un contexte de reprise économique (produit intérieur brut en hausse de 3,2 %, consommation des ménages en produits manufacturés en hausse de 5 %, source Insee), TF1 a bénéficié en 2000 d'une forte augmentation du marché publicitaire plurimédia (+ 9,6 %). Par ailleurs, les transferts intervenus dans les dépenses des annonceurs à la suite de la réduction de la durée des espaces publicitaires de France 2 et France 3 ont eu leur importance. Ainsi, la part de marché publicitaire de TF1 a augmenté de 12 % pour atteindre 53,8 % (à comparer avec 51, 1% en 1999) alors que, dans le même temps, le marché publicitaire télévision brut progressait de 6,1 % sous l'impulsion notable du secteur des télécommunications. En revanche, selon Médiamétrie, la société a vu sa part d'audience moyenne reculer de 1,5 point, à moins de 35 % sur l'ensemble des cibles : 35,9 % pour les "femmes de moins de 50 ans" (contre 37,4 % en 1999) et 33,4 % pour les "individus de 4 ans et plus" (contre 35,1 % en 1999). 1 Source Secodip 2 Source Médiamat - Médiamétrie (sur les individus de 4 ans et plus). 9 En 2000, TF1 a ainsi réalisé un chiffre d'affaires de 9 785 MF, en progression de 16 % par rapport à l'année précédente. Ce montant correspond principalement (99 %) aux recettes nettes3 de publicité et de parrainage lesquelles s'élèvent à 9 734 MF, en croissance forte de 17,6 % et à des recettes diverses pour 51 MF. Le chiffre d'affaires du parrainage4 représenterait pour sa part environ 5 % des 9 734 MF précités. Le total des produits d'exploitation (chiffre d'affaires + autres produits liés à l'activité de diffusion) s'est élevé à 10 510 MF, en augmentation de 16,2 % par rapport à 1999. Parallèlement, les charges d'exploitation qui s'établissent à 7 745 MF n'ont augmenté que de 8,1 % en raison de la stabilité bien maîtrisée de la masse salariale (924 MF en 2000 à comparer avec 896 MF en 1999) et du coût des programmes (4 862 MF en 2000 à comparer avec 4 749 MF en 1999). Il en ressort un résultat d'exploitation de 2 765 MF en augmentation de 46,8 % par rapport à 1999 (1 884 MF). Compte tenu, par ailleurs, du résultat financier positif de 158 MF (à comparer avec 98 MF en 1998), la société a réalisé en 2000 un résultat courant avant impôt de 2 923 MF, soit un gain de 940 MF par rapport à l'exercice précédent. Après prise en compte d'un résultat exceptionnel5 de 500 MF, de la participation des salariés et de l'impôt sur les sociétés (984 MF) en augmentation sensible de 31,2 % par rapport à 1999, le bénéfice de la société a atteint 2 349 MF, soit plus d'un milliard de plus qu'en 1999. Le ratio de rentabilité (bénéfice/chiffre d'affaires) atteint le niveau excellent de 24 % (à comparer avec 13,9 % en 1999, 12 % en 1998, 8,1 % en 1997, 7,2 % en 1996).

L'approche analytique Selon la comptabilité analytique de la chaîne, le coût de grille de TF1, c'est-à-dire le total des coûts internes et externes des programmes diffusés au cours de l'exercice y compris les charges relatives aux droits de diffusion échus ou réformés, s'est maintenu en 2000 avec un montant total de 4 862 MF (à comparer avec 4 749 MF en 1999), soit un surplus de 113 MF en progression de 2,4 %. La majeure partie du coût de grille a porté sur les programmes de fiction qui, bien qu’en légère baisse avec 1 305 MF, représentent 26,8 % du coût de la grille, sur le sport (850 MF) qui représente 17,5 % du coût de la grille et sur l'information (700 MF) qui constitue 14,4 % du coût de la grille. Enfin, le coût des films de cinéma (640 MF) est en augmentation. Les autres postes de dépenses en matière de programmes (jeux, variétés, magazines, documentaires) ont connu une progression relative tandis que les émissions pour la jeunesse sont à nouveau en net recul. 11 Coût de la grille des programmes ventilé par genres 1999 1999 2000 2000 Evolution (en MF) Répartition (en MF) Répartition 2000/1999 en % en % en % Fiction 1 334 28,1 % 1 305 26,8 % - 2,2 % Variétés/Jeux/Magazines/ Documentaires 1 126 23,7 % 1 222 25,1 % + 8,5 % Sports 803 16,9 % 850 17,5 % + 5,8 % Information 750 15,8 % 700 14,4 % - 6,6 % Films 565 11,9 % 640 13,2 % + 13,3 % Jeunesse 171 3,6 % 145 3,0 % - 15,2 % Total coût de la grille 4 749 100 % 4 862 100 % + 2,4 % Source : TF1 Il ressort que la croissance du chiffre d'affaires de TF1 (+ 16,2 %) a encore été très supérieure en 2000 à celle de son coût de grille (+ 2,4 %).
