Top‑line and trend

Revenue: €1,547m in H1 2025 (stable reported; -3% at constant scope and exchange rates). Bolloré Energy €1,337m (-2% organic) and Industry €156m (-14% organic) were the main contributors.

EBITA and operating performance

Adjusted operating income (EBITA) €123m (versus breakeven in H1 2024). EBITA benefits include contributions from equity‑accounted operating companies (UMG, Canal+, Louis Hachette Group, Havas and Vivendi) and improvements at Bolloré Energy; Industry losses narrowed to -€52m.

Net income and comparatives

Consolidated net income €242m (Group share €240m) versus €3,884m in H1 2024 — the prior period included a €3.7bn net capital gain on the disposal of Bolloré Logistics, which distorts year‑on‑year comparability.

Liquidity and balance sheet

Net cash position €5,530m at 30 June 2025 (cash & equivalents ~€8bn and confirmed credit lines). Shareholders’ equity €25,555m (Group share €25,317m).

Capital return and share actions

Interim dividend: €0.02 per share payable in cash on 30 September 2025. In H1 2025 Bolloré SE repurchased 35.4m shares for €196.5m, canceled 44.1m shares and reduced treasury shares to 3.2m (Board later decided to cancel those 3.2m on 17 Sept 2025).

Equity‑accounted portfolio impact

Significant contribution from equity‑accounted communications assets: UMG contributed €117m to Bolloré’s EBITA; Canal+, Louis Hachette Group, Havas and Vivendi were included under the equity method from Dec 14, 2024, boosting Communications EBITA to €203m.

Industry highlights — Blue, Systems, Films

Industry revenue fell but losses improved: EBITA -€52m (improvement of €17m vs H1 2024). Blue Solutions progressed R&D on Gen4 solid‑state batteries and delivered more Bluebus units; Bolloré Innovative Thin Films invested ~€30m to expand capacity.

Events after the reporting period (regulatory/legal)

After the period, the AMF (18 July 2025) ruled Bolloré SE must file a public buyout offer for Vivendi shares following court proceedings; Bolloré appealed the AMF decision (appeal filings noted). This remains an ongoing legal and market development to monitor.
