Group development in the first half of 2021

  • Consolidated sales increased all segments by in total 20.2 % year-on-year to CHF 206.7 million.
    • The Film segment generated an increase in sales of CHF 23.6 million to CHF 121.6 million, reflecting the positive developments in home entertainment, license trading/TV exploitation, and TV service production.
    • The Sports- and Event-Marketing segment reported an increase of CHF 3.3 million to CHF 34.5 million.
    • The Sports segment increased its sales by CHF 7.7 million to CHF 50.9 million due to the optimization of the rights portfolio.
       
  • EBIT decreased to CHF 6.0 million (previous year: CHF 11.9 million) due to a lack of movie theater sales and higher consolidated operating expenses.
     
  • In addition, the Highlight Group has a sound financial position:
    • The consolidated equity of CHF 208.4 million was up CHF 1.4 million on its level from the end of 2020.
