Revenue

Revenue for the Lagardère group totalled €5,008 million for the first nine months of 2022, up 41.5% as reported and up 34.1% like for like. The difference between reported and like-for-like revenue is attributable to a €184 million positive currency effect, chiefly resulting from the appreciation of the US dollar (€136 million), and to an €86 million positive scope effect, mainly in connection with the acquisitions of Workman Publishing and Paperblanks by Lagardère Publishing and of Dubai-based Creative Table Holdings Ltd by Lagardère Travel Retail.
