Groupe Partouche Delivers Steady Turnover Growth
Groupe Partouche, a longstanding European name in gaming, reported consolidated turnover of €327.3 million for the first nine months of its fiscal year, up 2.1%. The rise is modest, but meaningful: it points to a business that continues to adapt and hold its ground in a market that’s still shifting.
Quarter at a Glance
The third quarter, covering May through July, came in at €106.8 million in turnover, a 1.6% increase from €105.1 million a year earlier. It wasn’t a breakout quarter, but it was a stable one—steady revenue in the face of ongoing uncertainties.
Gross Gaming Revenue: What Moved, What Didn’t
Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) for the period edged up to €179.5 million, versus €178.7 million last year—an increase of 0.4%. In France, GGR softened by 0.5% to €160.7 million, largely because table games slowed. Electronic games helped cushion the drop, posting a 1.5% uptick.
Outside France: Growth with a Few Hurdles
Internationally, GGR advanced 9.4% to €18.8 million. The Swiss online business stood out, with revenue up 30.1% to €5.5 million. Not everything moved in the same direction, though: slot machines declined 6.3%, finishing the period at €9.5 million.
Non-Gaming Adds Momentum
Non-gaming activities contributed more this year, with turnover up 5.5% to €28.2 million. The hotel division performed well, rising 7.8% to €9.5 million, helped by the addition of the Pavillon La Rotonde hotel in Lyon.
Nine-Month Totals and What’s Next
Across the first nine months, aggregate turnover reached €327.3 million, and Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) came in at €259 million, up 1.5%. Looking ahead, Groupe Partouche plans to release its Q4 turnover in the coming months, which will offer a clearer read on the full-year trend.
