French entertainment and telecommunications company Vivendi SA (VIV.FR) said Thursday that the first quarter of 2010 was in line with the company's expectations.

In the slides for a presentation at its shareholders meeting, Vivendi said it expects "slight growth" in adjusted earnings before interest and tax for 2010 as a whole.

In March, the group had said it expected "further growth" in adjusted EBIT, which excludes certain charges relating to acquisitions and mergers.

Vivendi intends to continue to pay out a "high dividend," according to the presentation.
