Naman Ramachandran Revenues at Bertelsmann’s Luxembourg-based RTL Group, a media giant which owns Fremantle, dipped 5.2% to €6.2 billion ($6.7 billion) for the financial year 2023.

The company attributed this to lower TV advertising revenue and lower Fremantle revenue. The company’s EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization) slid to €782 million, down from €922 million in 2022.

Fremantle, RTL’s content arm, had a strong year from an awards point of view, with its Element Pictures producing Golden Globe, BAFTA and Oscar winner “Poor Things.” However, revenue fell from €2.3 billion to €2.2 billion and EBITA from €162 million to €139 million.

RTL is targeting full-year revenue of €3 billion for Fremantle by 2025/2026. There was good news on other fronts.
