Our results in the first nine months of 2024.
The Board of Directors approved the results of the Mondadori Group as of September 30, 2024, presented by our CEO Antonio Porro. Continued improvement in economic performance: revenues and Adjusted EBITDA up.

We had the pleasure of welcoming to Mondadori Palace the two students Vittorio Cinotti from IISS Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa in Montefiascone (VT) and Giulia Ferraro from Liceo Cicerone Pollione in Formia (LT), winners of the “Parole Giovani” contest, the contest curated by Festivaldeigiovani that rewards girls and boys with a talent and passion for writing.

#parolegolegiovani are the works written in verse or in the form of short stories by students from all over Italy who participate, alone or in small groups, in the initiative. The texts, uploaded and published on the social journal Noisiamofuturo, are read and shared by an audience of tens of thousands of readers.

In this way, participants are evaluated on their ability to write and express stories and emotions, creativity, digital skills, and organizational and work management skills.

The winners had the opportunity to visit our headquarters in Palazzo Niemeyer, accompanied by Adelio Reghezza from the Communications office of our #BusinessUnitRagazzi, a partner in the project.

A nice moment to share with these two young talents a special journey to discover the publishing and book crafts.

A special meeting at Palazzo Mondadori: a group of students from the undergraduate course in Economics and Business Management at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, accompanied by Professor Mario Molteni, got to know our company and some of our Group’s managers up close.
We are really happy to have been able to tell who we are and what our many activities are to a very attentive and participating audience of freshmen from the Faculty of Economics, creating a valuable opportunity for dialogue and discussion, enriching for both parties.
The day began with greetings from Federico Angrisano, Director of Communication and Media Relations, and Prof. Molteni, Professor of Business Administration: both welcomed the young college students and introduced the topics of the meeting.
The first speech was by our CEO Antonio Porro, who presented the company’s history and strategic vision.
Francesca Rigolio – Head of Human Resources Books area and Chief Sustainability Officer – then delved into the value of people and the importance of diversity within the organization, while Lorenzo Garavaldi – Director of Strategic Marketing, Rights and Acquisitions Trade Books area – spoke about the evolution of the publishing industry through some business cases. Finally, Andrea Santagata – Managing Director Digital and MarTech area of Mondadori Media – presented the opportunities offered by digital and innovation and how our brands work every day to seize them.

 

Two big news for Lombard readers with the arrival of bookstores in the province of Monza and Brianza: precisely in Brugherio, in the Gallerie Bennet, and in Busnago, in the Globo Shopping Center. Our Mondadori Store network thus makes available to all book lovers two new landmarks dedicated to culture.
Our bookstores, thanks to innovative spaces and layout, enhance the wide range of titles on offer, with catalogs of more than 12,000 titles, from best sellers to the great classics, from fiction to non-fiction, passing through miscellaneous and illustrated but not only. Youngsters can find their special corner in the WeAreJunior area, designed especially to stimulate their imagination and creativity with books, fairy tales and educational games. Fans of comic books and manga, on the other hand, have their own animated JustComics department.

Artificial Intelligence is the future, a new frontier that we want to be among the first to explore.
That is why we have launched a major new AI training course that will enable us to better prepare our people quickly to seize the opportunities offered by this revolutionary technology. Colleagues in all of our business units will thus be prepared to meet the technological challenges of the future and drive change in our industry by acquiring advanced prompting skills. A renewed demonstration of our commitment to specific training and strong interest in innovation and digital skills.
The program, created in collaboration with the founders of the Promptdesign.it platform, has three phases: a two-hour introductory webinar, followed by two in-person workshops of seven hours each. During the webinar, participants learn the basics and advanced techniques of prompting with ChatGPT. In the labs, on the other hand, they can work on hands-on projects, experimenting in the classroom and learning more about the use of specific apps such as MidJourney.
In total, more than 80 hours of training will be delivered in the company at the end of the training to about 350 people. And this is just the beginning of a larger digital upskilling project that will involve the entire Group and help enhance all our activities.
