Luis Martinez-Amago, Chief Executive Officer of Vantiva, said:

“The environment continued to be challenging, as we had anticipated. Markets are showing some signs of softening, however our action plans are responding well to this situation and we keep executing our commercial plan. In this context, we are delighted with the performance of the Connected Home division this quarter. The DVD business in our Supply Chain Solutions division was impacted by a lack of new titles in the quarter. Nonetheless, at the group level, Vantiva remains on track to achieve its stated goals”.

In € million, continuing operations	2023	2022	Change at current rate	Change at constant rate
Revenues	573	559	2.5%	-0.6%

Q1 2023 Key Highlights  

The 2.5% growth achieved in the quarter resulted from a contrasting performance of the two divisions. Connected Home benefited from continuing good demand for broadband and the division posted a 12.1% growth rate for the period. SCS, however, is facing a more challenging environment in the field of optical discs where demand declined during the quarter. SCS nevertheless continued and expanded its diversification activities and mitigated some of this decline, but revenues for the division were still down 23.3% in the quarter.

Outlook

The group confirmed its guidance for the fiscal year 2023:

• EBITDA > €140m
• EBITA> € 45 m
• FCF⁽¹⁾ > €50m

II-      Q1 Segment Review


Connected Home

Revenues breakdown by product

In € million	2023	2022	Change at current rate	Change at constant rate
Revenues	458	408	12.1%	8.7%
o/w by product
Broadband	381	322	18.2%	14.0%
Video	77	86	-10.4%	-10.9%

Connected Home revenues represented 80% of group revenues in the quarter (73% in Q1 22) and totaled €458 million, up 12.1%. At constant exchange rate, the growth would have been 8.7% compared with Q1 2022. Beyond the positive effect of exchange rates, this development in revenue resulted from some growth in North American markets driven by cable and WiFi 6 CPEs, but also from double-digit growth in Europe and Latam. The increase in the latter regions is explained by better supply conditions, strong demand for broadband fiber products and business with new customers. On the other hand, demand for video equipment continued to suffer in Latam and India.

Supply Chain Solutions

In € million	2023	2022	Change at current rate	Change at constant rate
Revenues	115	150	-23.3%	-25.4%

Supply Chain Solutions’ revenues for the quarter represented 20% of Group revenues (27% in Q1 22) and  totaled €115 million in the quarter, a 23.3% decrease compared to Q1 2022. At constant exchange rate the drop would have been 25.4%. This decline was due to the headwinds experienced by the mature optical discs business which was penalized by limited numbers of new releases from the major studios during the quarter, the reduction in DVDs inventories at some retailers and a less favorable economic environment overall. Diversification activities grew in line with expectations in the quarter. The division accelerated the implementation of productivity actions and diversification initiatives including investments in vinyl capacity extension.
