FDJ Chairwoman and CEO Stéphane Pallez, said: “2019 will be remembered as a landmark year for Française des Jeux with the great success of its initial public offering to numerous institutional investors, individual shareholders, and Group employees. 2019 was also characterised by very strong growth in all our businesses, across all sales channels, both physical and digital, and the Group’s excellent operating and financial performances.
The financial statement has its projections for 2020: the French operator forecasts a revenue rise of 5 per cent and 5 per cent increase in stakes.
