FDJ buoyed by revenue bounce back
French gaming and lottery operator La Française des Jeux (FDJ) has reported 2021 revenues of €2.3 billion, up 10% compared with 2019, based on an 11% increase in stakes to €19 billion.
EBITDA of €522 million, or a margin of 23.1%, up from 22.2% in 2020, and net profit of €294 million.
Stéphane Pallez, Chairwoman and CEO of FDJ, said: “The year 2021 marks FDJ’s return to its pre-crisis growth trajectory for all its activities. The Group’s 2021 results are significantly higher than those recorded in 2019, thanks to the acceleration online and the growth within our network of points of sale. This performance demonstrates the relevance of our strategy and leads us to revise upwards the 2025 objectives communicated at the time of the Group’s IPO, both in terms of growth and EBITDA margin.
At the same time, we are continuing our societal commitments, which have already been significantly strengthened since the start of the health crisis. FDJ will carry on combining financial performance with extra-financial commitments for the benefit of all of its stakeholders.”
