MFE-MediaForEurope (MFE), the parent company of Mediaset España, estimates that its adjusted net operating result (Ebit) will reach €110.1 million in the first nine months of 2026, which represents an advance of €133.8 million over the pro forma figure for the same period of the prior year.
This was stated this Wednesday by the chairman and chief executive officer, Pier Silvio Berlusconi, during a meeting with Italian journalists held at the Mediaset headquarters in Cologno Monzese.
Adjusted Ebit excludes all amortization linked to the acquisition price allocation process (PPA, for its English acronym) and, in 2026, the extraordinary charge associated with the judicial dispute in Spain regarding the rights to use the television format "Pasapalabra".
According to preliminary data released by the media group, the adjusted Ebit of the entertainment area stood at €122.2 million in the first nine months of 2026, around 3.5 times higher than the pro forma figure obtained in the same period of 2025. Costs in this segment decreased by €259.6 million, representing a drop of 7.6%.
The corresponding consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 will be submitted for validation by the Board of Directors on November 18.
Therefore, these are preliminary, unaudited figures, and the pro forma comparison incorporates the consolidation of ProSiebenSat.1 with effects from January 1, 2025.
