Boulogne-Billancourt (France), 15 April 2025 (6:30 p.m.) - FDJ UNITED, one of Eu-
rope's leading betting and gaming operators, announces its sales revenue for the 1st
quarter of 2025.

Stéphane Pallez, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of
FDJ UNITED, said: “FDJ UNITED's performance in the first quarter is in line
with the trajectory planned for 2025. Against the backdrop of tougher reg-
ulation and taxation in some of its markets, it reflects good momentum in
points of sale and an increase in the number of online active players in all
its markets. Beyond this, the Group is fully committed to the transfor-
mation associated with the implementation of its international and
digital strategy. “

Highlights of the 1st quarter of 2025
• French Lottery and retail Sports betting: revenue of €640 million, an increase
of +4% on the basis of a +6% rise in stakes
o The increase in lottery revenue, up +5% to €528 million, was driven by all the games
offering:
▪ Draw games, with Euromillions performing very well, particularly when the
super-jackpot was launched on 7 March at €130 million and won at €250
million on 28 March, after 7 draws.
• Overall, the 1st quarter recorded 11 Euromillions jackpots
in excess of €75 million, including 7 over €130 million. This level of
jackpots, a record for a 1st quarter, is a recruitment driver, particularly
online.
▪ Instant games, at the point of sale with, for example, "Royaume d'Or"
launched in February, and online, notably with the development of an
exclusive offer.
▪ Online lottery revenue rose markedly by +14% to €79 million, driven by a
sharp increase in the number of players to 5.8 million over the 12 months to
end of March 2025. Online now accounts for 15% of lottery games revenue.
o Point-of-sale sports betting was buoyant. The increase in stakes was driven in par-
ticular by the more extensive range of football bets on offer, with the new format
of European competitions and greater appeal thanks to the success of French
clubs in these competitions. However, compared with the 1st quarter of 2024, the
reduced margin linked to unfavourable results for the operator led to a -1% fall in
revenue to €112 million.
o Point-of-sale revenue for the BU totalled €561 million, up +2% on the basis of a +5%
increase in stakes.




2/4
• Online betting and gaming: revenue of €231 million, down -10% at constant
perimeter and exchange rates
o The number of active players in the Online betting and gaming BU increased in
the 1st quarter 2025:
▪ By more than +5% compared with the 4th quarter 2024;
▪ And by almost +10% compared with the 1st quarter 2024.
o However, the tougher implementation of regulations in the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom, and the sharp increase in taxation in the Netherlands, already
announced by the Group, had a significant impact on the BU's performance.
▪ In the Netherlands, despite strong growth in the number of active players,
a number of factors explain the -41% drop in revenue:
✓ mainly new regulation that has severely limited net monthly depos-
its since 1 October 2024;
✓ a significant increase in gaming taxation from 1 January 2025, from
30.5% to 34.2% of gross gaming revenue;
✓ a fall of more than 100 basis points in the gross margin on sports
betting as a result of unfavourable results for the operator.
In parallel with the introduction of these measures, which have a significant
impact on the business and profitability of licensed operators, the channel-
ling rate in the Netherlands (the share of the gambling market accounted
for by licensed operators) had reduced significantly, to less than 50% by
2024.
▪ In the United Kingdom, the -27% decline in revenue reflects a particularly
high comparison base and the unfavourable impact of the regulatory
measures implemented in 2024, despite the increase in the number of
active players.
o Revenue excluding the Netherlands and the United Kingdom was up by almost
+8%, thanks to good performance in other markets, including France, driven in
particular by the new format of European football competitions.
o In addition, the Group is continuing to roll out its proprietary platforms. In the 1st
quarter of 2025:
▪ in France, at the beginning of February, with finalising of the separation of
player accounts between lottery and activities open to competition;
▪ and in England, at the beginning of March, with the successful migration of
32Red.


• Other activities
o The International lottery BU recorded revenue of €38 million. The -22% decrease
was mainly attributable to Premier Lotteries Ireland, due to non-recurring items,
in particular an exceptional number of Lotto jackpots being won.
o The Payment & Services BU recorded revenue of €16 million, a slight increase of
+1%.
