The Success of Playtech Company

Worldwide gambling software services supplier Playtech has announced a 25% rise in its year-on-year profits for the first six months of 2017, ahead of many analyst expectations.

In its mid-year financial filing, the company reported group revenues of €421.6m, beating the previous total for the same period of 2016 by €83.9m. The companies’ adjusted net profit almost doubled, rising 60% from €78.3m in H1 2016 to €125.5m in the first half of 2017.

Strong financial performance in all business sectors has resulted in the company declaring a 19% rise in its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), which rose from €143.8m in the first six months of 2016, to €170.9m for the same six months of 2017.

In a statement released with the figures, Alan Jackson, Chairman of Playtech commented on the company’s performance: “The proven strength of the Playtech model was once again demonstrated with a strong H1 performance driven by both underlying growth and recent acquisitions. As always, Playtech’s performance has been converted into strong cash generation enabling a 10% increase in the interim dividend, in line with the progressive dividend policy.”

The news comes a day after the company announced a potential $150m deal to expand its financial trading business with the purchase of intellectual property and clients from market maker and broker ACM Group. Under the terms of the deal, Playtech will pay $5m initially, potentially rising to $150m over the next three years.

Jackson added: “As with the Gaming Division, momentum in the Financials Division continued with improvements across all KPIs. The announced acquisition of assets from Alpha brings an important new B2B revenue stream and the creation of TradeTech Group as our operating and corporate brand for the business is an important milestone and better reflects the broadening of the division’s offering towards a full turnkey B2B financial trading solution.

Jackson added: “Taken all together, this proven platform for growth across the business has again delivered a strong performance and management remain confident of further strategic progress in the second half of 2017.”

Two Million of Britains are Gamblers

According to a report published by the industry regulator, the UK Gambling Commission, more than two million people are either addicted to gambling or at risk of developing a problem.

The 2010-update finds that the number of risk gamblers has increased to over 500,000, meaning that 3.9% of the UK’s population is classed as ‘at risk.’ Moreover, 1.4% of gamblers, which is an equivalent to a 0.8% of the total population, are classified as addicts.

Problematic gambling is more prevalent among middle-age employed males. Breaking the figures down, men, representing 66% of total gamblers, are more likely to betting than women, only 59%. Additionally, those in employment or trained tend to gamble, 69% compared to the participation among unemployed and retired, 56% and 57% respectively.

Moreover, participation was highest amongst the middle age groups and lowest within the youngest and oldest age groups.

Despite the heavy criticism that fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) have recently received, the most popular gambling activities were: National Lottery draws (46%), followed by scratchcards (23%) and other lotteries (15%).However, the document submitted by the national regulatory body points out that the types of gaming which are most likely to attract addicts are online gaming, poker played in pubs and clubs, and machines in bookmakers.

Campaigners have urged parliament to take immediate action on the FOBTs and the spreading of gambling advertising. Following this proposal, the government will soon be releasing a review in which it reconsiders new restrictions on gambling adverts and regulations on fixed-odds betting terminals.

Tim Miller, the Gambling Commission Executive Director, said: “We have a clear commitment to make gambling fairer and safer and these figures show that this is a significant challenge. Success will depend upon us, the industry, government and others, all working together with a shared purpose to protect consumers. The pace of change to date simply hasn’t been fast enough – more needs to be done to address problem gambling."
