I. REVENUE
Revenue for the Lagardère group climbed sharply over the first three months of 2022 to €1,304 million, up 44.0% on a reported basis and up 38.0% like for like. The difference between reported and like-for-like revenue is attributable to a €40 million positive currency effect chiefly resulting from the appreciation of the US dollar, and to a €20 million positive scope effect, mainly in connection with the acquisition of Workman Publishing.
