Groupe Partouche Reports 3.7% Turnover Increase for First Nine Months of 2026

Groupe Partouche, a leading European gaming company, announced its financial performance for the first nine months of the 2026 fiscal year, reporting a 3.7% increase in turnover to €360.7 million. The company’s momentum accelerated in the third quarter, with a 5.1% rise in activity, driven by recent investments in France.

For the 2026 fiscal year, which spans from November 2025 to July 2026, Groupe Partouche saw its Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) increase by 3.7% to €571.1 million. Of this, France accounted for 87.7% of the GGR, with a 3.7% increase to €510.7 million. Internationally, GGR increased by 3.9% to €60.4 million. The Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) followed suit, growing by 3.9% to €279.5 million.

In the third quarter alone, which covered May to July 2026, Groupe Partouche’s turnover rose by 5.1% to €120.3 million. The company attributed this growth to strong momentum in France, particularly in the Paris gaming club and the Royal Palm Casino in Cannes. The Paris gaming club, which relocated to Avenue de La Grande Armée on May 12, 2026, contributed €9.2 million to the quarter’s GGR, a significant improvement over the €0.4 million it generated in the same period last year. The Royal Palm Casino in Cannes also saw an improvement, with its GGR increasing to €4.0 million, up from a deficit of -€0.2 million in the third quarter of 2025.

GGR in France for the third quarter was up 7.1% to €181.1 million, driven by a 76.0% growth in non-electronic table games to €28.2 million, compared to €16.0 million in the same period in 2025. Slot machines GGR also saw a slight increase to €130.9 million, while electronic table games GGR decreased slightly to €22.1 million.

In contrast, GGR outside of France decreased by 5.1% to €18.9 million. The Meyrin casino in Switzerland faced major renovation work, resulting in a 25.4% decline in slot machines GGR to €6.5 million. However, Swiss online gaming revenue showed growth, rising by 11.0% to €7.3 million. The Cotonou casino in Benin also reported strong growth, with its GGR tripling compared to 2025 to reach €0.9 million.

Excluding the acquisition of Casino Partouche Cannes 50 Croisette on February 28, 2025, and the opening of the Cotonou casino on January 28, 2025, the company saw a 6.1% increase in GGR to €194.1 million. Net Gaming Revenue after levies reached €89.5 million, an increase of 6.9%.

Non-gaming activities, including hotels, restaurants, spas, and golf courses, remained stable with a 0.2% decrease, totaling €31.4 million.

Groupe Partouche also announced a significant improvement in its non-financial rating. For the fifth consecutive year, the company was assessed as part of the "Pact" impact loan by ARKEA Banque. The Group achieved a score of 69/100, up 6 points from the previous year and 10 points above the benchmark. This improvement reflects Groupe Partouche's commitment to integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into its core strategy and enables a reduction in the loan's interest rate.

The company is set to release its fourth quarter results and annual income statement on December 8, 2026, and January 26, 2027, respectively. Groupe Partouche has 43 casinos and employs nearly 4,050 people, making it a significant player in the European gaming industry.
