(Boulogne-Billancourt).- FDJ United posts a slight revenue decline in Q1 2026 despite stable GGR, citing higher taxes, softer sports fixtures, and structural challenges.
FDJ United reported a 3% year-on-year decline in revenue for the first quarter of 2026, reaching €895 million, despite a modest increase in gross gaming revenue (GGR). The European betting and gaming group faced early-year headwinds driven by a softer sports calendar and structural market factors.
For the period ending March 31, FDJ United generated €2.175 billion in GGR. However, revenue performance was negatively impacted by €24 million in additional gaming taxes, highlighting the growing fiscal pressure across regulated markets.
The company noted that momentum weakened toward the end of the quarter due to a combination of fewer long-cycle draw games, less attractive sports fixtures, and a high payout ratio in retail sports betting.
Chairwoman Stéphane Pallez acknowledged the challenging operating environment, citing global headwinds, tax increases, and stricter regulations as key constraints. Despite the slow start, FDJ United remains optimistic about a recovery in the second half of 2026, expecting improved performance as market conditions stabilize.
