“It never gets old – starting with my opening line ‘Our best quarter yet.’ The company’s strong momentum from Q2 continued into Q3 and as a group, we broke the EUR 10M revenue milestone for the quarter, showing a very strong 31% EBITDA margin. Our debt-free balance sheet allows for an efficient transition to net profit which ends up in our bank account due to our strong cash conversion. We also continue to have high EPS growth of 39% as Gaming continues to deliver strong results. And it is great to see Media continuing moving in the right direction. It is certainly safe to say the trend is positive. All in all, another very solid quarter with no surprises.

“The quarter showed overall strong performance, but September stands out as a record-breaking month on all fronts – so I have great confidence going into Q4. October has been off to an even better start as we launched a lot of new content, with Evolution Gaming in Latvia being a key driver going forward. We are also in the final stage of migrating optibet.com to our new platform, which operates on our Maltese license. This means we will have a highly competitive offering, enabling us to go after markets beyond the Baltics. Completely in line with our previously communicated strategy.

“Our strong cash position opens up for acquisition opportunities, and as we have communicated, we continue looking. But sometimes the best deals are the ones you don’t do. We have great responsibility towards all our shareholders to maximise the value of that cash and we will spend it wisely.” Says CEO and Group president Robert Andersson.
