Loss Over-shadows the Betfred Revenue Growth

The loss of the company is higher than the operators deficit of £28.7m and was primarily the result of retail costs.

Betfred was able to post a 7% year-on-year increase in the amount wagered by customers, to £13.49bn.

Revenue (turnover) rose by an even higher figure of 15%, to £727.6m, with gross profit subsequently also growing 15%, to £573m.

EBITDA before “operating exceptional costs” was up 43% to £119.4m.

But the aforementioned costs totalled £119.6m, heavily impacting Betfred’s operating loss for the trading period.

Betfred suggested the UK Government’s reduction of fixed-odds betting terminal maximum stakes from £100 to £2 had impacted the loss (although the restrictions were only implemented on 1 April 2019).

Predominantly however, the exceptional costs related to “impairments of the retail division following the results of the Triennial review.”

The true question is do you believe that the Betfred revenue will increase again given the current situation which the online gambling operators find themselves in?
