ProsiebenSat.1 at a Glance
ProSiebenSat.1 Group grew dynamically in 2021: Group revenues increased by 11% year-on-year to EUR 4,494 million (previous year: EUR 4,047 million); organically1, Group revenues also grew with a clear plus of 10%. The biggest growth driver was the Entertainment segment, with significantly higher advertising revenues than expected at the beginning of the financial year. At the same time, the broad set-up and overarching cooperation within the Group, which ProSiebenSat.1 is driving in all segments, paid off. Part of this strategy was also the acquisition of the US online dating provider The Meet Group in September 2020, which has since strengthened the Dating & Video segment and had a very positive impact on Group revenues. ProSiebenSat.1 Group’s adjusted EBITDA increased significantly by 19% to EUR 840 million in the full-year (previous year: EUR 706 million), reflecting the strong growth in revenues and particularly the recovery of the advertising market.
