  • Revenues: €14.1 billion, down 1.2% compared to first half 2011.
  • EBITA : €2.9 billion, down 12.7% compared to first half 2011 due to SFR’s lower contribution and the unfavorable impact under IFRS standards of the Activision Blizzard games release schedule. Good performances of GVT (+19.3%) and Universal Music Group (+18.2%).
  • Adjusted Net Income : €1.5 billion, down 16.6% compared to first half 2011, mainly due to a decrease in EBITA and increased taxes.
