Jean-Christophe Thiery, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Louis Hachette Group, commented: “In the first quarter of 2026, amid an uncertain geopolitical climate, Louis Hachette Group recorded solid revenue growth of 3%¹ driven by all Lagardère group businesses and supported by its diversified international footprint.

Lagardère Publishing maintained a robust level of activity, driven by publishing successes and momentum from diversification efforts. Hachette Livre, France’s leading publisher and the world’s third-largest publishing group, celebrated its 200^th anniversary in March, testifying to the resilience and durability of its model.

Lagardère Travel Retail delivered sustained revenue growth. Europe and the Americas continued on their growth path, supported by solid performances in certain key countries, while Asia-Pacific posted sustained growth following the takeover of the Auckland concession, despite the ongoing streamlining of the network in mainland China. The conflict in the Middle East that broke out at the end of February 2026 weighed on air traffic and consumer spending during the first quarter. At this stage, it is too early to say how the situation will evolve. Lagardère Travel Retail is relying on its diversified geographic footprint and the resilience of its business model to mitigate the effects.

Lagardère Live maintained its growth dynamic, with revenue up some 6% on the back of a good performance from Lagardère Live Entertainment and continued gains in audience numbers at Europe 1 and Europe 2.

Lastly, in a rapidly evolving digital advertising market, Prisma Media is continuing to restructure and refocus on its traditional and profitable activities.”
