Banijay achieves €1.6 billion in gaming revenue following record full year

Finance News

Revenues across the entire Banijay Group were up 1.6% and adjusted EBITDA rose almost 7% to €961.1m (£834.8m).

Overall, Banijay Group recorded revenues of €4.88B, up 1.6%, thanks to growth in experiences unit Banijay Live, which is grouped with Banijay Entertainment, and Banijay Gaming. Adjusted EBITDA was up 6.8% at €961.1M and operating profit was €641M up 25.5% year-over-over. Net debt dropped from 2.9x in 2024 to 2.7x (€2.57B).

Online sports betting and gaming sustained strong momentum, with revenue up 10% despite a record year in 2024, and a further 23% increase in unique active players. Adjusted EBITDA for this business once again recorded double-digit growth despite the absence of major sports competition and the increase in taxes in France in July 2025. Total revenue for the year was 1.6 billion.

The acquisition of Tipico, the sports betting and gaming leader in Germany and Austria, last year represented “a transformative milestone for the group,” he said. “It broadens our geographical diversity and positions Banijay Group as a leader in the sector.”

François Riahi, CEO of Banijay Group, said: “In a year marked by a challenging production backdrop and a softer sports calendar, our diversified model once again demonstrated its growth potential. We continued to deliver major series to global streaming platforms and reinforced our leadership in IP.”
