Revenues for fiscal year 2024/2025
➢ Driven by the line-up, international sales increased by 26%, reaching €22 M (+€5 M), notably thanks to overseas deliveries of the films Dracula and Weekend in Taipei. ➢ Catalogue revenues declined, mainly due to fewer rights windows opening in France and the United States (-€8 M in TV/SVOD sales). ➢ Consolidated annual revenue thus stands at €32 M, compared to €35 M for the previous fiscal year (-11%). ➢ Looking ahead, the release of Dracula by Luc Besson in July 2025 will mark fiscal year 2025/2026, while numerous projects are currently in development. Paris, 28 May 2025 – EuropaCorp, one of Europe’s leading independent film studios, engaged in the production and distribution of feature films, today announces its consolidated annual revenue for the 2024/2025 fiscal year, approved by the Board of Directors and currently under audit.

MNEMO Code: ALECP International Sales generated €22.0 million during the fiscal year, representing approximately 70% of total annual revenue, compared to €17.4 million the previous year. These revenues mainly stem from deliveries to international distributors for Dracula (partially delivered as of March 31, 2025), and significant royalties from catalogue titles including Lucy, Colombiana, The Transporter, Taken 2 and Taken 3. Theatrical Distribution revenue came to €0.2 million, corresponding to the release of Weekend in Taipei in French cinemas in September 2024, compared to €0.9 million in 2023/2024 (Dogman). Video & VOD activity in France and the U.S. amounted to €1.2 million, in line with the 2023/2024 figure. This includes VOD sales in both countries across various titles (notably Miss Sloane in the U.S., and Dogman and Little White Lies 2 in France). Television & SVOD sales in France and the United States generated revenue of €5.2 million for the 2024/2025 fiscal year, accounting for 17% of total revenue, compared to €13.3 million in the previous fiscal year. Largely driven by the French market, these revenues stem from the opening of broadcast windows for several catalogue titles, including Little White Lies and Taxi 5 in France, as well as American Renegades and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets in the United States. However, they remain lower than the previous year, which had benefited from the release of rights for major franchises such as Taxi, Taken, The Transporter, and Arthur. Revenue from Series amounted to €0.8 million for 2024/2025, compared to €0.1 million in 2023/2024. This revenue is primarily due to a U.S. SVOD sale. Revenue from Other Activities totaled €2.2 million, compared to €2.4 million the previous year. This category includes income from ancillary rights (partnerships, licenses, music publishing, neighboring rights, etc.) and co- productions signed by the Group. Outlook The Group has produced several films during the fiscal year, with releases scheduled in the coming months: ✓ Dracula Written and directed by Luc Besson and starring Caleb Landry Jones, Christoph Waltz and Zoë Bleu, Dracula will be released in France on July 30, 2025. The film reimagines the tragic love story of Prince Vladimir, Count of Drācul, and his wife, Princess Elisabeta.
