PARIS - French broadcaster TF1 Group on Tuesday reported a profit of 172.3 million ($220.87 million) for the first nine months of the year, marking a 4.9% drop over the year-ago period despite higher revenue.
France's largest TV group posted a 5.8% revenue gain to 1.89 billion ($2.42 billion).
At the flagship TF1 network, advertising revenue grew by 3.8% to 1.22 billion ($1.56 billion) thanks to widespread public interest in the Soccer World Cup in June and July in addition to strong performances by U.S. TV import CSI, French TV drama Marie Besnard L'empoisonneuse and hit film "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."
However, programming costs for the popular World Cup contributed to a 20.1% decrease in the group's nine-months operating income to 194.5 million ($249.4 million).
TF1 didn't break out quarterly figures, but based on previous financial reports, third-quarter profit came in at 800,000 ($1.03 million), with operating profit amounting to 14.3 million ($18.4 million).
The group's cinema division, TF1 Films Production, attracted huge audiences for such recent co-productions as Les Bronzes 3: Friends Forever, The Valet and Jean-Philippe.
Revenue from other businesses reached 662.4 million ($849.1 million), an increase of 9.6% thanks to profitable partnerships in the media sector.
