French media giant Vivendi has reported that it Q3 revenue rose by 3.1 per cent year on year to €2.43 billion, driven by growth in Canal+ Group and Havas segments.

Through its recent agreements with Viu, for development in South-East Asia, and with Viaplay, in the Nordic countries, Canal+ Group demonstrated its ambition to be an international player in the audiovisual field.”

Havas achieved strong organic growth in net revenues of 5 per cent in the quarter (+4.3 per cent for the first nine months of 2023), attributed to “spectacular” growth in Latin America.
