La Française des Jeux (FDJ) has reported a current EBITDA of 675 million euros for 2023, representing a margin of 25.1% on sales of 2.62 billion euros, an increase of 6.5% (+2.8% on a like-for-like basis).

The margin rate was "underpinned by the exceptional level of sports results very favorable to the operator at the end of the year and a reversal of provisions relating to litigation with former broker-agents", items without which it would have been 24.3%.

The group also points out that sales from its online gambling business have risen sharply, by 18.8% (+13.9% on a like-for-like basis), to represent almost 13% of the total, compared with 11% in 2022.

At the end of December 2023, after the payment of ZEturf and Premier Lotteries Ireland, FDJ's net cash surplus stands at 671 million euros, compared with 900 million a year earlier.
