Digital commerce was an important component for the group's revenue growth, broadly due to the television company Fremantle and the streaming service TV-Now.
However, as the digital field is not as profitable as classic television business, the group's profits have dropped slightly to €538 million. The development is also due to higher investments in programming content.
Net profits have risen by a quarter to €443 million, with the €63 million sale of Universum Film playing a role in profits.
