Mondo Tv France

What Mondo Tv France does

Mondo TV France S.A. is a publicly listed French animation production company incorporated in Paris in 2006 and admitted to Euronext Growth Milan (ticker: MTVFR) in 2013. The company identifies, acquires, and develops children's animated television properties, producing series of typically 52 episodes aimed at the 4-7 and 6-10 age brackets. Its active slate includes Lulu Vroumette (co-produced with France Télévisions), Grisù (3D CGI co-produced with ZDF, Toon2Tango and Calidra), Sherlock Yack and Gawayn (exclusive productions), and Marcus Level (co-produced with TF1). In development are Wonder Pony with France Télévisions, Kididoc 2 (minority co-producer role), and Grisù Season 2 with ZDF Studios and Calidra BV for delivery in early 2028. The company is approximately 34.65% controlled by its Italian parent Mondo TV S.p.A., with a free float of about 65.35% as of July 2026.

Mondo TV France operates a project-based business model with four revenue streams: (1) co-production and pre-sale agreements with European broadcasters (RAI, ZDF, France Télévisions, TF1, Canal+) who fund part of production budgets in exchange for broadcast rights; (2) post-production library distribution through distribution companies belonging to broadcaster partners (notably ZDF Studios), typically with minimum guarantees; (3) licensing and merchandising through third-party licensees (Giochi Preziosi, Ravensburger, Carnaval Queen, Gruppo Giunti) for toys, publishing, games, and costumes; and (4) French public audiovisual subsidies. Production execution is outsourced to third-party animation studios such as Living Pixels (India), enabling a lean internal organization that relies on freelance collaborators and a small permanent team led by CFO Andrea Eliseo and incoming General Manager Ivan Rouveure (effective June 2026), under the chairmanship of Matteo Corradi.

Reported FY2025 revenue was EUR 884,000, down from EUR 1,985,000 in FY2024 and EUR 2,300,000 in FY2023, with revenue recognition heavily tied to delivery milestones. The FY2025 net loss was EUR 976,000 (improved from EUR 3,805,000 in FY2024), with EBITDA of EUR 291,000. Capital structure consists of 47,003,725 shares (post August 2025 10:1 reverse split) and share capital of EUR 4,007,763 (July 2026), following a EUR 940,074 rights offering in mid-2025 and a convertible bond facility with Loft Capital Ltd of up to EUR 1.575 million approved in February 2026. The parent Mondo TV S.p.A. successfully completed its Composizione Negoziata della Crisi (CNC) restructuring procedure in May 2026 with debt reductions of approximately EUR 4.9 million.
