Groupe Partouche Nine-Month Turnover Rises 3.7% to €360.7 Million

Groupe Partouche reported consolidated turnover of €360.7 million for the first nine months of its 2026 financial year, up 3.7% on the same period a year earlier, with third-quarter growth accelerating to 5.1% on the back of recent investments in France: principally the relocation of its Paris gaming club and the restructuring of its Royal Palm casino in Cannes.

The figures, published on September 8, 2026, cover the French casino operator’s third fiscal quarter, which runs from May to July, and the nine months from November 2025 through July 2026. The company posted its quarterly turnover release after the close of trading in Paris.

Third Quarter Picks Up Pace

Turnover for the third quarter reached €120.3 million, against €114.5 million in the same quarter of the prior financial year. That 5.1% increase follows first-quarter growth of 3.5%, to €130.8 million, and second-quarter growth of 2.5%, to €109.5 million, putting third-quarter growth ahead of both earlier quarters in the release’s own quarterly breakdown.

Gross gaming revenue for the quarter (the sum of wagers retained after winnings are paid out to players) rose 5.8% to €200.0 million, up from €189.0 million a year earlier. After gaming levies of €110.5 million, net gaming revenue for the quarter climbed 6.9% to €89.5 million. Non-gaming activity, which includes the group’s hotels, was broadly flat at €31.4 million, down 0.2%.

France drove the quarter. Domestic gross gaming revenue rose 7.1% to €181.1 million, from €169.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. The sharpest movement came in non-electronic table games, where gross gaming revenue jumped 76.0% to €28.2 million, from €16.0 million a year earlier.

Two Paris-region assets account for much of that movement. The Paris gaming club, which relocated to Avenue de La Grande Armée on May 12, 2026, generated quarterly gross gaming revenue of €9.2 million, against €0.4 million in the same quarter of 2025. The Royal Palm casino in Cannes contributed €4.0 million, compared with a negative €0.2 million a year earlier, with the company describing the venue as continuing to benefit from its restructuring.

Slot machines, the core of the French estate, edged up to €130.9 million from €130.4 million. Electronic table games slipped to €22.1 million from €22.6 million, a decline the release says the slot performance offset.

International Operations Mixed

Outside France, third-quarter gross gaming revenue fell 5.1% to €18.9 million, from €19.9 million a year earlier. The company attributed the decline to major ongoing renovation work at its Meyrin casino in Switzerland, where slot machine gross gaming revenue dropped 25.4% to €6.5 million.

Swiss online gaming revenue moved in the opposite direction, rising 11.0% to €7.3 million from €6.6 million. In Benin, the Cotonou casino recorded gross gaming revenue of €0.9 million, triple its €0.3 million level of a year earlier, when the venue was in only its second quarter of operation.

Stripping out the acquisition of the Casino Partouche Cannes 50 Croisette, completed on February 28, 2025, and the Cotonou opening of January 28, 2025, like-for-like gross gaming revenue for the quarter rose 6.1% to €194.1 million.

Nine-Month Position

For the nine months to the end of July 2026, gross gaming revenue rose 3.7% to €571.1 million, including 2.8% growth on a like-for-like basis. France contributed €510.7 million, up 3.7%, while international operations added €60.4 million, up 3.9%. Net gaming revenue increased 3.9% to €279.5 million after levies of €291.5 million.

The group noted that, as of January 1, 2026, the tax base for French gaming levies no longer includes promotional credits granted free of charge, a change that reduced levies by €2.1 million over the period.

By business line, casino turnover for the nine months rose 4.4% to €329.0 million, while hotel turnover fell 6.6% to €21.2 million. Other activities contributed €10.4 million, up 3.8%. Non-gaming turnover excluding net gaming revenue rose 1.5% to €82.2 million, while the fidelity programme, down 52.2% at a negative €1.1 million, completed the construction of the €360.7 million consolidated total.

The company said the nine-month performance confirms the trend observed since the start of the financial year, describing the third quarter as an acceleration of momentum after a solid first half.

Non-Financial Rating Improved

Alongside the turnover figures, Groupe Partouche said it scored 69 out of 100 in the latest non-financial assessment tied to its “Pact” impact loan arranged with ARKEA Banque — up six points on the prior year and ten points above the benchmark. It is the fifth consecutive year the group has been assessed under the facility, and the improved score triggers a further reduction of eight basis points in the loan’s interest rate, according to the release.

Groupe Partouche was established in 1973 and floated on the stock exchange in 1995. It operates casinos, a gaming club, hotels, restaurants, spas and golf courses, with 43 casinos and nearly 4,050 employees. The group publishes its financial documents through its investor archive.

The group will report fourth-quarter 2026 turnover on December 8, 2026, after market close, followed by full-year results for the financial year ending October 31, 2026, on January 26, 2027, also after market close.
