1/ BUSINESS INCOME

Ticketing: €35.9 million (+€4.9 million, +16%)

As at 31 March 2026, ticketing revenues performed well, up by +€4.9 million (+16%). They also benefited from a change in the accounting treatment of Hospitality revenues[1], which are now recognized in full in the Ticketing line.

 

Media and marketing rights: €32.6 million (-€5.5 million, -14%)

The club's participation up to the Europa League round of 16 generates UEFA TV rights of €21.9 million as at 31 March 2026 (€20.3 million in the previous year, with qualification to the quarter-finals).

At national level, LFP/FFF TV rights are impacted by the sharp decline in domestic TV rights following the early termination of the DAZN/LFP contract in June 2025 and amount to €10.7 million with a 4^th place in Ligue 1 as at 31 March 2026 (compared with €17.8 million in the previous year and 7^th place in Ligue 1).

 

Sponsoring-Advertising: €21.8 million (-€0.8 million, -4%)

On a comparable accounting basis, Sponsoring-Advertising revenue would have increased by €3.3 million, or +15%. At €21.8 million as at 31 March 2026, Partnerships and Advertising revenue has been adversely affected by the change in the accounting method for Hospitality revenue further described below (approximately €4.1 million lower than the previous year).

 

Brand-related revenue: €17.7 million (-€0.3 million, -2%)

Derivative products sales rose by +6% to €10.2 million, with strong performance from boutique revenues. Other brand-related revenue stood at €7.5 million (€8.3 million in the previous year).

 

Events: €4.5 million (-€7.4 million, -62%)

Revenue from Major Events reached €1.7 million, driven by the Imagine Dragons concert on 3 July 2025.
As at 31 March 2025, activity had been particularly intense, with eleven football matches as part of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and a France v Belgium match as part of the UEFA Nations League. .

Seminars and Visits revenue has been impacted by the unfavourable overall economic climate for businesses in France, as well as competition from new event venues in Lyon. It amounted to €2.8 million (€4.4 million in the previous year).

 

Player trading: €51.1 million (-€6.1 million, -11%)

Income from the sale of player registrations amounted to €51.1 million, with the sales of Georges MIKAUTADZE to Villarreal (€22.2 million), Lucas PERRI to Leeds (€12.9 million), Martin SATRIANO to Getafe (€5.3 million), Saël KUMBEDI to Wolfsburg (€4.6 million), ADRYELSON to Al Wasl (€1.1m), Téo BARISIC to Rijeka (€0.4m), Mathieu PATOUILLET to Al-Hilal (€0.3m) and Jordan VERETOUT to Al-Arabi (€0.0m), as well as various incentives and loan fees totalling €4.4m.

As at 31 March 2025, these stood at €57.2 million following the sales of Jake O'BRIEN to Everton (€14.2 million), Maxence CAQUERET to Come (€12.6 million), Orban GIFT to Hoffenheim (€9.2 million), Mamadou SARR to Strasbourg (€9.2 million), Jeffinho to Botafogo (€4.8 million), Mama BALDE to Brest (€4.2 million), as well as incentives totalling €2.9 million.
