Adjusted operating income (EBITA (2) (3)): 462 million euros, -15.0%(1), impacted by the slowdown in oil logistics after an exceptional first half 2022 and the decline in UMG's contribution.

Net debt: 82 million euros as of June 30, 2023, compared with a net cash position of 1,207 million euros as of December 31, 2022, attributable to the increase in Vivendi's debt and Bolloré's simplified cash tender offer on its own shares.
