`Message from
`the Chairman
`and Chief
`Executive Officer
`
`DENIS
`LADEGAILLERIE
`
`Believe is one of the major global players in digital
`music, having significantly contributed to reshaping
`the  music industry through an innovative business
`model and strong values of respect, fairness and
`transparency.
`
`Our story began in 2005 on the threshold of a major
`revolution in the music industry. Since the beginning,
`we have wanted to democratize access to the music
`market for all artists thanks to our proprietary
`technologies and to support them at each stage of
`their career development with our digital expertise by
`allowing them to remain independent by retaining
`ownership of their creations, and with the conviction
`that we can build a transparent and fair relationship
`with them. The digital transition that was
`just
`beginning at the time opened up a new field of
`possibilities and allowed the emergence of a new
`model in the music industry.
`
`Based on digital excellence and in-depth knowledge
`of  the artist market and data exploitation, the Group
`has thus contributed, in just over fifteen years, to
`reinventing the music industry landscape by constantly
`expanding its network and its solutions to develop the
`audience and revenues of artists and
`labels,
`in
`particular by training a new generation of artist
`development experts in the digital age. This success is
`the result of the collective work carried out in recent
`years to connect artists with streaming platforms and
`social networks, and thus maximize their visibility.
`Today, our 1,430 employees and digital music experts
`in more than 50  countries support with passion and
`respect more than a million artists, directly or via
`their labels.
`
`Since its creation, Believe has positioned itself at the
`heart of favorable developments and trends in the
`digital music
`industry
`(increase
`in
`streaming,
`diversification of monetization opportunities, rise of
`local artists, transfer of value within the artist market)
`by investing in our central and local teams.

`Message from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
`
`Thanks to these efforts, Believe’s attractivity has been
`constantly strengthened and our recognized service
`quality has enabled us to grow in all the countries
`where we are present. Between 2020 and 2021, we
`continued to
`invest significantly,
`including
`in the
`context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
`
`Year after year, Believe confirms the dynamism of its
`development, its strength in attracting more and more
`labels and artists, whether they are music creators or
`established artists, and its ability to help them perform,
`develop their audiences and always better monetize
`their music on digital platforms. This robust and
`profitable growth is based on our innovative model,
`which builds on three fundamental pillars: our central
`scalable technological platform, our solutions adapted
`to the different stages of the artist’s life and local
`teams, that are experts
`in music and
`in digital
`marketing, serving artists and
`labels. Our
`local
`presence
`is a strength on which we rely as a
`competitive advantage, and which plays a very strong
`role in our attractiveness to local artists.
`
`In June 2021, Believe reached a new growth milestone
`by successfully entering the Euronext Paris market,
`enabling us to raise €300 million. It is a source of great
`pride for the teams and myself to see the confidence
`of our
`investors and shareholders
`in Believe’s
`innovative model and their desire to support our
`growth strategy, particularly externally.
`
`In 2021, we exceeded expectations in terms of the
`operational and financial objectives presented at the
`time of the IPO and delivered organic growth of 30% as
`well as
`further gains
`in market share. The
`attractiveness of our model will enable us to continue
`to benefit
`from
`long-term growth and
`the
`transformation of the digital music market, as well as
`the digital artist market.
`It
`is by combining an
`entrepreneurial
`spirit,
`financial discipline
`and
`operational excellence that we pursue our mission: to
`design the best digital development platform for artists
`
`“It is with our artists and
`collaborators, our two hearts
`that beat in unison, that
`we wish to continue
`to transform the digital
`music sector. Their talents
`and skills are the drivers
`and sources of inspiration
`for a creative and responsible
`music industry.”
`
`and labels and to implement the best solutions to
`support them at each stage of their careers, while
`participating in the sector’s transformations.
`
`Beyond the digital music market, Believe aims to
`change
`the music
`industry and engage
`it
`in
`collaborative, sustainable and responsible practices.
`The new tools and uses of digital technology enable an
`increasing number of artists to make their music
`known and make a living from their art, and we are
`making it a vector of diversity and inclusion for our
`artists, our labels and our employees. With them, we
`are building the positive societal and environmental
`impact of our sector and this is the ambition of our
`CSR program that we have formalized under the name
`of “Shaping Music for Good”.
`
`It is with our artists and collaborators, our two hearts
`that beat in unison, that we wish to continue to
`transform the digital music sector. Their talents and
`skills are the drivers and sources of inspiration for a
`creative and responsible music industry.

`specializing in the production of live events; and Canvas
`Talent Private Ltd, which specializes in services to artists.
