Paris, May
2nd, 2024 – JCDecaux SE
(Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor advertising company
worldwide, announced today its revenue for the first quarter
2024.
Commenting on the 2024 first quarter revenue,
Jean-François Decaux, Chairman of the Executive Board and
Co-CEO of JCDecaux, said:
“Our Q1 2024 Group revenue grew by +11.1%,
+11.0% on an organic basis, above our expectations, to reach €801.6
million driven by continued strong digital revenue growth across
all business segments.
Digital Out Of Home (DOOH) revenue grew by
+28.0%, +27.9% on an organic basis, to reach 35.9% of Group revenue
including a continued strong programmatic revenue growth enhanced
by the increased adoption of this new way of trading our media by
advertisers including through the VIOOH SSP (Supply Side Platform)
and Displayce DSP (Demand Side Platform).
All activities recorded strong organic revenue
growth: Street Furniture grew by +9.2% with continued strong
momentum, Transport grew by +15.1% reflecting the solid recovery in
both airports and public transport systems in all geographies
except in China, and Billboard grew by +7.0% driven by its most
digitised markets.
All geographies grew positively in Q1 including
double-digit revenue growth in United Kingdom, Asia-Pacific and
Rest of the World. The gradual recovery of our activity in China,
which remained well below pre-covid levels, is continuing with a
high single-digit organic revenue growth rate this quarter.
As far as Q2 is concerned, we expect organic
revenue growth around +12.0% driven by continued strong digital
revenue growth across all business segments and including the
positive impact of the Paris Olympics and the UEFA Euro 2024 in
Germany.
We are confident that Out of Home (OOH) will
continue to grow its market share in a fragmented media landscape
with Digital Out of Home (DOOH) being the fastest growing media
segment. JCDecaux as the industry leader and the most digitised
global OOH Media company is well positioned to benefit from this
digital transformation.”
Following the adoption of IFRS 11 from January
1st, 2014, the operating data presented below is adjusted to
include our prorata share in companies under joint control. Please
refer to the paragraph “Adjusted data” of this release for the
definition of adjusted data and reconciliation with IFRS.The values
shown in the tables are generally expressed in millions of euros.
The sum of the rounded amounts or variations calculations may
differ, albeit to an insignificant extent, from the reported
values.Adjusted revenue for the first quarter 2024 increased by
+11.1% to €801.6 million compared to €721.3 million in
the first quarter of 2023.Excluding the negative impact from
foreign exchange variations and the positive impact of changes in
perimeter, adjusted revenue increased by +11.0%.Adjusted
advertising revenue, excluding revenue related to sale, rental and
maintenance of street furniture and advertising displays, increased
by +12.0% on an organic basis in the first quarter of 2024.

STREET FURNITUREFirst quarter
adjusted revenue increased by +10.0% to €400.8 million (+9.2%
on an organic basis). UK, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World all
grew double-digit. France recorded mid-single-digit growth, while
the rest of Europe saw high-single-digit growth.
First quarter adjusted advertising revenue,
excluding revenue related to sale, rental and maintenance of street
furniture was up +9.8% on an organic basis.
TRANSPORTFirst quarter adjusted
revenue increased by +13.5% to €288.2 million (+15.1% on an
organic basis), reflecting the solid recovery of our activity in
both airports and public transport systems in all geographies
except in China. Most geographies grew double-digit. Transport
remained meaningfully impacted by the lower level of activity in
China compared to pre-covid.
BILLBOARDFirst quarter adjusted
revenue increased by +9.4% to €112.6 million (+7.0% on an
organic basis) driven by the most digitised markets, while France
decreased due to the ongoing rationalisation of our inventory in
line with regulations. UK and Rest of the World were the drivers of
growth with a double-digit increase.
ADJUSTED DATA
Under IFRS 11, applicable from January 1st,
2014, companies under joint control are accounted for using the
equity method.However, in order to reflect the business reality of
the Group, operating data of the companies under joint control will
continue to be proportionately integrated in the operating
management reports used by directors to monitor the activity,
allocate resources and measure performance.Consequently, pursuant
to IFRS 8, Segment Reporting presented in the financial statements
complies with the Group’s internal information, and the Group’s
external financial communication therefore relies on this operating
financial information. Financial information and comments are
therefore based on “adjusted” data, consistent with historical data
prior to 2014, which is reconciled with IFRS financial
statements.In Q1 2024, the impact of IFRS 11 on adjusted
revenue was -€61.2 million (-€49.5 million in
Q1 2023), leaving IFRS revenue at €740.4 million
(€671.8 million in Q1 2023).
ORGANIC GROWTH DEFINITION
The Group’s organic growth corresponds to the
adjusted revenue growth excluding foreign exchange impact and
perimeter effect. The reference fiscal year remains unchanged
regarding the reported figures, and the organic growth is
calculated by converting the revenue of the current fiscal year at
the average exchange rates of the previous year and taking into
account the perimeter variations prorata temporis, but including
revenue variations from the gains of new contracts and the losses
of contracts previously held in our portfolio.
