At the end of December 2011, Canal+ France had 11.216 million subscriptions, a net increase of 158,000 year-on-year. In mainland France, the subscription portfolio increased and reached 9.760 million, mainly due to an increase in gross additions. Average revenue per individual subscriber was up €1.2 year-on-year, reaching €47.5, thanks to improved cross-selling between Canal+ and CanalSat offerings, and a higher penetration of service and program options. Canal+ France’s subscriber base in regions operated by Canal+ Overseas (French overseas territories and Africa) reached 1.456 million due to strong market dynamics, particularly in Africa. Overall, including Poland and Vietnam, Canal+ Group’s portfolio at the end of 2011 had 12.946 million subscriptions.
