FDJ UNITED: Q3 2025 Revenue Down 3%1 and Virtually Stable at Constant Gaming Taxes (Business Wire)
|
|

FY 2025 targets tuned
Confirmation of a recurring EBITDA margin above 24%
Third quarter of 2025: Revenue of €864m, up 29% compared with Q3 2024 (reported)1, down 3% on a restated basis1 and -1% at constant gaming taxes
On a restated basis:
Excluding the €21m impact of increased taxes on betting and gaming, including €18m in France, revenue would have been virtually stable
The French Lottery and Retail Sports Betting business unit (BU)2 maintained its solid momentum, with revenue up 2% to €595m
The Online Betting & Gaming BU3 posted €209m in revenue, down 16%. This reflected the impact of taxes and regulations in 2025, particularly in France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom; a high basis of comparison against 2024, which had been boosted by the Euro football tournament; and sports betting results that were highly unfavourable to the operator
First nine months of 2025: Revenue of €2,730m, up 30% compared with the first nine months of 2024 (reported) and down 2% on a restated basis

2025 guidance reiterated
Success of the Group's employee share ownership plan
First-half revenue of €1,867m: up +31% compared with H1 2024 reported1 and down -2% on a restated basis1
Buoyant performance by the French lottery and retail sports betting BU2 with revenue of €1,290m, up +4% on a restated basis
Lottery revenue rose by +6% to €1,065m. This performance can be attributed to the whole range of games and all distribution channels, particularly digital, which rose by +16% to €160m
Point-of-sale sports betting revenue fell by -6% to €225m. This change reflects unfavourable sports results for the operator, despite stakes boosted by an attractive football offering (+4%)
Online betting and gaming BU2 revenue of €466m, down -12% on a restated basis
This change reflects a very unfavourable 2024 comparison base, due in particular to the Euro football tournament, as well as tax and regulatory impacts in 2025, particularly in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Excluding these two markets, ...
