Highlight Event & Entertainment AG ( (CH:HLEE) ) has provided an announcement.
Highlight Event & Entertainment AG reported a 2.0% increase in 2025 Group revenue to CHF 412.1 million and a higher EBITDA, but a sharply negative EBIT of CHF -248.2 million after large non-cash impairments in its Sport and Event segment and other one-off effects. Despite the heavy accounting loss and a swing to negative equity of CHF -56.2 million, management stressed ongoing efficiency measures, a 30.3% rise in liquidity and a clear positive trend in free cash flow as evidence of underlying operational strength.
The Film segment delivered stable performance with 17 theatrical releases and strong cinema and TV exploitation, anchored by hit title “Das Kanu des Manitu,” while Sport and Event focused on UEFA club competitions, darts programming and Eurovision marketing. For 2026, the group plans at least nine theatrical releases, continued UEFA support and portfolio expansion at TEAM and SPORT1, but flags macroeconomic headwinds, budget pressure and AI-driven disruption in the German media market as risks to its operational outlook.
