Revenues increased 3.0% at constant currency reflecting revenues from the acquisitions2 in 2007 of BMG Music Publishing (BMGP) and of Sanctuary, as well as strong digital sales growth and a better than market performance. Excluding these acquisitions and at constant currency, revenues were 3% less than the previous year reflecting a difficult music market and lower license and legal settlement income.

Canal+ Group
TPS integration and subscription growth
For the full year 2007, Canal+ Group’s revenues amounted to €4,363 million, a 20.2% increase compared to 2006. Revenues from pay-TV operations in France were up €746 million (+25%) compared to 2006. Pay-TV operations benefited from the TPS acquisition3, as well as increased revenues from portfolio and higher advertising revenues. CanalOverseas also had a positive impact.
As of December 31, 2007, Canal+ Group’s total portfolio amounts to more than 10.5 million pay-TV subscriptions (individual and collective, in France and overseas, including Africa). Net additions over the year totalled 280,000 subscriptions. This figure included net additions of 330,000 subscriptions and a negative adjustment of approximately 50,000 subscriptions resulting from a portfolio change of scope to include viable contracts only.
Canal+‘s total subscriptions at the end of the year reached 5.3 million, which represented a net increase of more than 80,000 over the year. The proportion of Canal+ Le Bouquet subscriptions reached 71% of the total Canal+ portfolio, up from 61% a year ago. The churn rate was 12.8%.
CanalSat and TPS’ total subscriptions were more than 5.2 million, which represented a net increase of 200,000 compared to the end of 2006. CanalSat’s churn rate was 10%.
Revenues from Canal+ Group’s other operations (excluding PSG, sold in June 2006) grew €24 million or 4%, thanks to the good performance of Canal+ in Poland and higher advertising revenues from i>Télé. StudioCanal posted lower revenues (€352 million in 2007 versus €362 million in 2006) despite good international performances driven by the growth of Optimum.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, Canal+ Group’s revenues amounted to €1,132 million, which represented a 23.3% increase compared to the same period last year.
Revenues from pay-TV operations in France grew €196 million (26%) compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. This strong increase was mainly due to the favorable impact of the TPS merger, as well as the increased portfolio of Canal+ and CanalSat. CanalOverseas contributed favorably as well.
Revenues from Canal+ Group’s other operations (Poland, i>Télé and StudioCanal) were also up (€18 million in total).
SFR
3G/3G+ leader, successful launch of Illimythics, 657 000 net new SFR customers in the fourth quarter
For the full year 2007, SFR’s revenues4 increased by 3.9% to €9,018 million compared to 2006.
Mobile revenues increased by 1.6% to € 8,785 million compared to 2006. Mobile service revenues5 were up by 0.9% to €8,382 million.
The favorable effects of an increase in the customer base along with growth in “voice” and “data” usage and the Enterprise segment dynamism were largely offset by strong cuts on mobile voice termination rates (21%) as of January 1, 2007, and on SMS termination rates (30%) as of mid-September 2006. SFR’s ARPU6 decreased by 3.3% to €440 at the end of December 2007 (versus €455 at the end of December 2006).
Excluding the impacts of regulated tariff cuts, SFR mobile service revenues would have been up by 4.4%.
In 2007, SFR added 883,000 net new customers, taking its registered customer base to 18.766 million7, a 4.9% increase versus last year. The contract customer base grew by 5.8% year-on-year to 12.294 million (676,000 net additions), leading to an improved customer mix of 0.5 percentage point in one year.
In 2007, SFR confirmed its leadership in mobile broadband networks and services both in Enterprise Segment and Mass Market:
SFR number one in network quality in 2007 ARCEP survey for the fourth consecutive year8;
SFR leader in 3G/3G+ customer number with 4.1 million customers at the end of December 2007, compared to 2.7 million at the end of December 2006;
Successful mobile Internet access offers with “Illimythics” launched in November 2007 and selected by more than 250,000 customers (more than 175,000 customers at the end of 2007) and more than 40,000 3G+ USB modems for laptops sold since July 2007;
Successful Happy Zone offer with more than 400,000 Happy Zone customers at the end of the year.
Despite the impact of the regulator’s cut on SMS termination rates, net data revenues improved by 8.1% mainly due to interpersonal services (SMS and MMS), content (music, TV-Videos, games) and the development of mobile Internet and corporate segment operations. Net data revenues represented 13.7% of service revenues at the end of December 2007, compared to 12.8% at the end of December 2006. Number of text messages (SMS) sent by SFR customers grew by 15.2% on a year-on-year basis to 7.3 billion and revenues from data services, excluding SMS and MMS, increased by 21.4%.
ADSL and fixed revenues reached €233 million, mainly reflecting the integration of Télé2 France since July 20, 2007. In total, SFR has 415,000 ADSL customers and 2.036 million fixed voice customers at the end of December 2007.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, SFR’s revenues increased by 8.7% to €2,371 million compared to the same period of 2006.
Mobile revenues increased by 3.3% at €2,246 million compared to the same period in 2006. Mobile service revenues were up by 2.2% to €2,128 million. SFR added 657,000 net new customers in the fourth quarter of 2007 versus 377,000 net new customers for the same period last year.
The favorable effects of an increase in the customer base along with growth in “voice” and “data” usage and the Enterprise segment dynamism were largely offset by strong cuts on mobile voice termination rates (21%) as of January 1, 2007. Excluding the impacts of the regulated tariff cuts, SFR’ service revenues would have been up by 5.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Data revenues amounted to €322 million and increased by 20.6% when compared to the same period last year.
ADSL and fixed revenues reached €125 million due to the integration of Télé2 France since July 20, 2007.
Maroc Telecom
20% growth
For the full year 2007, Maroc Telecom’s revenues9 increased by 19.6% to €2,456 million compared to 2006 (+10.5% at constant currency and at constant perimeter10).
Mobile revenues11 grew by 27.3% to €1,721 million compared to 2006 (+21.4% at constant currency and at constant perimeter).
Despite increased competition, the customer base12 13 still experienced strong growth and reached 13,327 million customers, up 24.5% compared to December 2006 (or a net increase of 2,620 million customers over the year 2007), driving the sharp evolution of mobile revenue.
The blended ARPU12 14 reached €9.6, down 4.9% at constant currency compared to 2006, mainly due to a strong increase of the customer base. The average price decrease driven by promotional offers, in particular unlimited offers, allowed strong customer usage growth.
Fixed and Internet revenues11 grew by 5.7% to €989 million compared to 2006 (-6% at constant currency and at constant perimeter).
Fixed customer base12 reached 1.289 million lines, experiencing a net increase of 22,620 lines over the year 2007 due to the success of unlimited offers launched at the end of 2006. However, the average “voice”12 invoice amount decreased by 3.5% (at constant currency) over the same period. The ADSL customer base12 still experienced a strong growth, due to the active promotions policy and reached 470,000 lines, displaying a net increase of more than 86 000 lines in 2007 and increasing by 22.4% compared to December 2006.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, Maroc Telecom’s revenues increased by 27.7% to €637 million compared to same period last year (14.9% at constant currency and at constant perimeter).
Mobile revenues grew by 40.3% to €455 million compared to the same period last year (30.6% at constant currency and at constant perimeter).
Fixed and Internet revenues grew by 4.9% to €246 million compared to the same period last year (-8.5% at constant currency and at constant perimeter).
Vivendi Games
Revenues exceeded €1 billion and World of Warcraft reaches over 10 million subscribers
For the first time ever, Vivendi Games exceeded €1 billion in revenues. Vivendi Games’ 2007 revenues of
€1,018 million were 26.6% above the prior year (up 33.5% on a constant currency basis).
Blizzard Entertainment, Inc’s revenues of €814 million were higher than 2006 (up 58%), while the Sierra Entertainment, Sierra Online and Vivendi Games Mobile businesses were lower at €204 million (-29%); each of the business segments were impacted by unfavorable currency exchange movements.
Blizzard Entertainment’s revenues increased strongly, driven by the continued momentum of World of Warcraft, its award-winning subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) and the very successful first quarter 2007 release of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, Blizzard Entertainment’s first World of Warcraft expansion. As a result of Blizzard’s 2007 subscriber acquisition initiatives World of Warcraft’s subscriber base increased by 2 million over the year, reaching more than 10 million players worldwide.
Sierra Entertainment’s revenues were lower overall, while the Sierra Online and Vivendi Games Mobile divisions each showed growth. Sierra’s 2007 PC and console releases, including Crash of the Titans, Spyro: The Eternal Night, F.E.A.R. expansion and compilations, Timeshift and World in Conflict, were not as strong as the 2006 release slate, which included Scarface, Ice Age 2, Eragon, Spyro: A New Beginning and F.E.A.R.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, Vivendi Games’ revenues of €302 million were 7.4% below the prior year (down 4.4% on a constant currency basis). Blizzard Entertainment’s revenues of €186 million were higher than 2006 (+19%), while the Sierra Entertainment, Sierra Online and Vivendi Games Mobile businesses were lower at €116 million (-32%); each of the business segments were impacted by unfavorable currency exchange movements.
The increase in Blizzard Entertainment’s revenues was driven by the continued momentum of World of Warcraft.

R$ million 4Q06 3Q06 4Q05

The conclusion of the second stage of the Corporate Reorganization in October has already enabled benefits to the organization in terms of efficiency, simplification of administrative structures and resources, which had a positive impact on the bottom line for the quarter.
The recovery of net additions confirms the focus on actions that offers plans and services that are adequate to the consumption profile of each customer.
Upon reaffirming the commitment to provide the best service and assistance, Vivo recorded 99% completed calls rate to call center, one of the most difficult ratios to be achieved among those established by ANATEL's quality goals, having exceeded the pre-established goals of this regulatory institution.
Unified systems with more than 95% of our customers integrated. Unification gains also include greater efficiency in processes such as billing and collection, in addition to providing a single platform that allows us to develop products and services and deliver them faster to the market.
Sustainable combat against cloning and fraud, reducing the losses to a negligible level, tending toward zero.
The provision for bad debt of R$73.0 million in the quarter, representing 1.8% of the gross revenue, the lowest rate in the last two years, is a result of a specific campaign conducted in this quarter, showing a reduction of 50.6% in relation to 3Q06, and by 72.0% in relation to 4Q05.
EBITDA of R$857.6 million, with Ebitda margin of 29.2% in the quarter, represented a growth of 19.8% in relation to 3Q06. The year-to-date EBITDA was R$2,596.6 million, with a margin of 23.7%.
The operating cash flow plus the change in working capital recorded R$1,228.4 million in the year-to-date basis.
The net indebtedness in the amount of R$3,553.3 million presents a 14.3% reduction in the quarter and 14.5% in comparison to 4Q05, with an increase of almost 50% in cash and cash equivalent when comparing to the 3Q06.
Net profit of R$885.6 million in the quarter and of R$ 16.3 million year- to-date, mainly due to the benefits derived from the conclusion of the corporate reorganization
