Vivendi's transformation into a pure-play media firm was completed in 2014, but recent acquisitions and the spinout of Universal Music Group have again changed the firm. The company now operates multiple divisions with one very large core segment: Canal+, a leading producer and distributor of film and TV content in France, produces over 60% of revenue. It also owns Havas, the world's sixth-largest ad agency holding company; Gameloft, a mobile game publisher; and minority stakes in multiple companies in Europe.
