Unterföhring, July 19, 2021. ProSiebenSat.1 Group revenues increased considerably by 47% to around EUR 1,045 million (previous year: EUR 709 million) in the second quarter of 2021 on the basis of preliminary and unaudited figures. Adjusted EBITDA also developed very positively on this basis and grew more than sevenfold to around EUR 165 million (previous year: EUR 23 million). This was especially driven by the dynamic increase of the Group"s advertising revenues in the region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland which increased by 56% compared to the previous-year quarter. The Group thus recorded a very strong recovery compared to the COVID-19 impacted previous-year quarter.


Following this substantial and profitable growth, the Group also again increases its outlook for financial year 2021 which most recently had been adapted on May 12, 2021 on the occasion of the Q1 2021 Quarterly Statement: In total, the Group is now targeting for full-year 2021 - without further portfolio changes - revenues of EUR 4.400 billion (previously: EUR 4.250 billion) as the lower end and revenues of EUR 4.500 billion (previously: EUR 4.450 billion) as the upper end of the target range (previous-year figure adjusted for currency and portfolio effects: EUR 4.055 billion⁽¹⁾). In financial year 2021, Group revenue growth would thus be in a range between 9% and 11% compared to the previous year (previously: 5% to 10%). Based on these revenue assumptions, for the full-year of 2021 ProSiebenSat.1 now anticipates a Group adjusted EBITDA - without further portfolio changes - of around EUR 820 million with a variance of plus/minus EUR 20 million (previously: target range of EUR 750 million to EUR 800 million; previous-year figure adjusted for currency and portfolio effects: EUR 708 million⁽²⁾). This corresponds for the mid-point to a year-on-year increase of 16%.
