Mediawan (Paris:MDW):

Sales for the first nine months of 2019 reached €240.7 million, a 39.4% increase on the same period in the previous year, driven by the momentum of production companies forming the Originals division and a strong revenue contribution from Mediawan Animation with “Playmobil: The Movie”. Growth was 20.7% on a like-for-like basis.

Sales in Q3 2019 were affected by the usual seasonal factors and amounted to €52.0 million (similar to Q3 2018), mainly driven by Thematics and Originals.

Pierre-Antoine Capton, Chair of the Management Board of Mediawan, said: “Mediawan’s momentum shows how relevant our unique model is, combining production and distribution as we will do in the first co-production between France and Italy with “Pinocchio & le Village Enchanté”. Our strategy fits with a sector that is growing due to an increasing demand for premium content both from our long-standing broadcasting partners and new market players, as shown by our recent agreements with Canal+ Africa and Amazon Prime. 2019 allowed us to build on our achievements, create a powerful local ecosystem with highly successful content and also look forward to international projects in 2020.”
