- Highlight Communications AG is a Switzerland-based strategic and financial holding company headquartered in Pratteln near Basel, founded in 1983. The company operates primarily through two segments: Film, and Sports and Event. In the Film segment, it owns Constantin Film AG, Germany's most successful independent film producer and distributor, which produces, markets, and distributes films, including theatrical, TV, and home entertainment products predominantly in the German-speaking European countries. In the Sports and Event segment, it controls the TEAM Group, a global leader in sports and event marketing, notably holding rights to UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup, along with Sport1 Medien AG, an international multi-platform sports media enterprise active in TV, online, mobile, audio, and social media channels targeting the German-speaking market. The company’s main products and services include film production and distribution; sports rights marketing, sponsorship, licensing, and merchandising; multimedia sports content distribution; event management and consulting; and marketing platforms for institutions and corporate clients. Highlight's subsidiaries systematically cover the full value chain in their respective markets, offering comprehensive services in media rights sales, content exploitation, event delivery, and commercial partnerships. In recent developments within the last two years, Highlight Communications AG reported consolidated sales of CHF 404.1 million for fiscal 2024, a slight decline due to foreign currency effects and production-related factors affecting both Film and Sports segments. The company has been optimizing the Sport1 Medien portfolio and expanding digital offerings and marketing environments. Highlight Event AG concluded 2024 successfully with positive sales and contract implementation in sponsorship and media sales for niche cultural events, such as the Eurovision Song Contest and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The TEAM Group focused on completing the UEFA commercial cycle's final season, reinforcing its strategic partnerships. The group’s operational focus includes leveraging a strong film slate in the Film segment and capitalizing on high-profile UEFA sports properties, positioning for potential growth despite recent earnings challenges. Highlight Communications AG is publicly listed on the Deutsche Börse Prime Standard (ticker HLG) since 1999 and maintains significant operations in Germany, Switzerland, and broader German-speaking Europe. Its business model revolves around its subsidiaries Constantin Film AG in film production and distribution, TEAM Group in sports marketing rights, and Sport1 Medien AG in sports media channels, enabling it to serve content producers, broadcasters, sponsors, and event organizers across Europe efficiently.
