We exceeded expectations set at the beginning of the year and subsequent upgrades, with revenues of Euro 2,045 million and Adjusted EBITDA of Euro 739 million at normalised payout (Euro 707 million actual), +24% compared to FY 2023. We continued to grow both organically and through M&A, with the acquisition of PWO and executing our bolt-on strategy.

Our objectives for 2025 are to strengthen our leadership position in all segments through product and technology innovation, further develop the omnichannel model while managing efficiently the retail to online transition that is occurring in the market.

In light of our strong balance sheet and cash flow generation, we requested the authorization for a buyback in order to have an additional tool readily available for capital returns, which will compete for excess cash with M&A and other capital allocation opportunities, with a view to maximise shareholder returns.”
