888 and William Hill have terminated their talks due to a significant difference of opinion on value with a key stakeholder. 888 confirmed on 10 February that it had received an approach regarding a possible offer for the company by William Hill but that there was no certainty that any firm offer would be made nor as to the terms on which any firm offer might be forthcoming.

888 says the board and the representatives of the principal shareholder trusts, together with their respective advisers, have had a number of discussions with William Hill and its advisers concerning a possible recommended offer, valued at 200 pence plus a 3 pence dividend per share.

But it says: "Due to a significant difference of opinion on value with a key stakeholder, it has not been possible to reach agreement on the terms of a possible offer and the board of the company has agreed with William Hill to terminate discussions."

Chief executive Brian Mattingley said: "The Company is in good health and continues to trade comfortably in line with expectations. The Company will announce its full year results on 24 March 2015 and the Board of the Company looks forward to the future with confidence."

William Hill has booked a FY pretax profit of £233.9m, down 9% from £257.0m. Net revenue rose 8% to £1.61bn, from £1.49bn. Its dividend per share was 12.2p, form 11.6p.

CEO James Henderson said 2014 was a record year for William Hill, with good operating profit growth benefiting from the continued digital and international diversification of the company's revenue streams, and from a record-breaking World Cup performance.

"I am particularly pleased with the progress in our three strategic areas of focus: differentiation through technology; continued internationalisation; and maximising the omni-channel opportunity of Retail and Online.

"Online has delivered 21% compound annual net revenue growth since 2009 and is competitively at the leading edge in this market. Internationally, we have reshaped our Australian business and are moving it to the William Hill brand, enhancing its competitiveness in this attractive market.

"Our US operations continue to progress strongly and we are well positioned in the event of regulatory change. Retail remains resilient and, with the largest number of betting shops in the UK and as the leading UK digital operator, we are moving closer to a 'one customer' proposition to deliver a seamless experience for our customers across our channels.

"We are committed to working with the industry and the regulator to promote responsible gambling. We have put better tools in the hands of customers, increased awareness of the importance of responsible gambling and helped establish mechanisms for independent scrutiny of the industry.

"The RGT's ground-breaking research programme is an invaluable body of data and analysis, which will support what we all strive for - evidence-based decision-making.

"Excluding one significant loss-making week driven by customer-friendly football results, the sum of the remainder of the first eight weeks of Q1 2015 to 24 February 2015 has been in line with internal revenue expectations, benefiting from gross win margin growth.

Whilst inclusion of the loss-making week leaves us behind internal expectations for the period as a whole, the Board's view is that this volatility in sporting results is now a normal part of the Group's trading given the increased proportion of accumulator football betting in Online as well as Retail. Therefore, the Board remains confident in its expectations for 2015."

Key financial highlights:
· Record operating profit with continuing successful diversification: 40% of Group net revenue from our digital channels3 (2013: 36%) and 18% from international markets (2013: 15%)

· Strong net cash inflow from operating activities of £368.2m and reducing debt levels (1.4x net debt to EBITDA for covenant purposes)

Key operational highlights:

· Continued strong growth in Online Sportsbook: turnover up 28%, mobile wagering up 55% and record-breaking World Cup

· Online gaming net revenue up 17%: 117% growth in mobile driven by proprietary Vegas platform

· Strong growth in net revenue in Italy and Spain, up 39% and 64%, respectively

· Retail net revenue flat and operating profit1 down 2%, with the impact of less favourable sports results partly mitigated through effective cost control

· Australian business substantially reshaped, delivering improvements in key performance indicators, net revenue4 growth of 11% and operating profit1,4 growth of 121%

· William Hill brand launched in Australia in February 2015

· Strong US performance ahead of expectations: net revenue +31% and operating profit1 up 98%

· Significant progress in encouraging responsible gambling with implementation of ABB Code, launch of independent Senet Group, ground-breaking Responsible Gambling Trust (RGT) research and inaugural GambleAware Week
