Playtech PLC on Wednesday said it performed well in the first four months of the year, though it noted progress was ‘partly offset by the impact of customer-friendly sporting results’. The Isle of Man-based gambling software development company said it delivered a ‘solid’ trading performance in the first four months of 2024, with strong underlying trends. The company said its business-to-business division performed well due to a mix of revenue growth in regulated markets and tighter cost control. ‘Growth in regulated markets was led by the Americas with the US and Canada increasing their contribution, albeit from a small base, while Mexico and Colombia continue to perform well,’ Playtech said. In its business-to-customer unit, Snaitech performed well despite tough comparatives in 2023 which had benefited from pent-up demand after the football World Cup. However, Playtech lamented ‘customer-friendly’ sporting results partly offsetting its trading performance, highlighting sporting results in Italy. ‘Notwithstanding this, we remain well-positioned to continue to benefit from the structural shift to the higher-margin online business in Italy,’ the company said. Playtech shares were 0.8% lower at 485.00 pence each on Wednesday around noon in London. Copyright 2024 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
