Consolidated revenue climbed by 8.1% compared with the prior-year period to EUR 2.322 billion. Adjusted EBITDA rose by 6.3% to EUR 359.1 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 15.5%. In the third quarter, consolidated revenue amounted to EUR 809.1 million, which was 5.3% lower than in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA came to EUR 133.8 million, a fall of 2.6%.

Adjusted EBITDA advanced by 3.0% to EUR 265.5 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 37.5%. The main drivers of growth were a change in the price mix and an increase in retail sales from 121.3 million tickets to 123.2 million tickets. Earnings performance continues to be affected by expenses in connection with the Operational Excellence programme. In the third quarter of 2026, revenue grew by 11.5% compared with the prior-year period to EUR 235.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA for July to September rose by 2.2% compared with the third quarter of 2025, reaching EUR 93.0 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 39.5%.

Adjusted EBITDA climbed by 17.0% to EUR 93.7 million, causing the adjusted EBITDA margin to rise to 5.7%. The revenue growth was predominantly attributable to well-attended, high-revenue events and festivals and to the inclusion of further entities in the scope of consolidation. In the third quarter of 2026, revenue in the Live Entertainment segment declined by 11.7% compared with the prior-year period to EUR 585.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA came to EUR 40.8 million and was thus 12.0% down compared with the third quarter of 2025. The adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 7.0%. The segment’s performance in the third quarter was primarily a reflection of the timing of major tours and events.
