Gaming operator Betsson<\/a> has provided its financial health report for the second quarter of the year. Its Latin American gaming operations are on fire. However, its European activity isn\u2019t doing so well.<\/p>\n

Betsson reported revenue of \u20ac186.3 million (US$189.5 million) for the second quarter of 2022. Most of its verticals are on the upswing, especially its sports betting operations.<\/p>\n

As a result of a stronger-than-expected response in Latin America, this became the driver of the company\u2019s success. During the quarter, it registered a year-on-year increase of 86.2%, closing at \u20ac45.7 million (US$46.53 million).<\/p>\n

LatAm Up, Western Europe Down<\/h2>\n

The LatAm results, coupled with solid performances in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, led to organic growth of 13%. Betsson views these markets as having the greatest potential, as they still have room for large online growth.<\/p>\n

Central and Eastern Europe, combined with Central Asia, contributed \u20ac61.1 million (US$62.2 million), an improvement of 23.4% over last year. However, the company saw drops in the Nordics and Western Europe. The Nordics provided \u20ac51.2 million (US$52.12 million) and Western Europe, \u20ac24.8 million (US$25.25 million).<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s organic growth was 13%, mainly driven by Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where we see long-term growth potential as these markets still have a low share of online gaming<\/strong>,\u201d said Betsson CEO Pontus Lindwall.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Western Europe\u2019s contributions declined by 40%. This, explained Betsson, was due to its exit from the Dutch market<\/a> to appease regulators. However, there\u2019s a chance that it may return in the future.<\/p>\n

In general, sports betting was the biggest source of revenue for the company. Gross turnover jumped 20%, with a margin of 8.3%. This contributed significantly to Betsson reporting record revenues for LatAm, Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia.<\/p>\n

By The Numbers<\/h2>\n

With most regions performing well, Betsson saw overall revenue 7.8% higher than a year ago. Sportsbook revenue increased by 22.4% to provide \u20ac61.6 million (US$62.7 million). On the other hand, casino revenue contributed \u20ac122.2 million (US$123.4 million). However, that was only \u20ac1.6 million (US$1.62 million) more than a year earlier.<\/p>\n

\n

As a result, gross profit closed at \u20ac118.8 million (US$120.95 million), a 2.6% increase. On the other hand, operating expenses amounted to \u20ac89.6 million (US$91.18 million), for a final operating income of \u20ac29.2 million (US$29.71 million). Compared to the second quarter of last year, this was a 22.7% drop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After deducting marketing, personnel costs, additional expenses, and tax, the net income for the quarter was \u20ac28.6 million (US$29.09 million). That equates to a drop of 14.1% from Betsson\u2019s net income in the second quarter of last year.<\/p>\n

For the first six months of the year, Betsson is seeing mixed results. The six-month period produced revenue of \u20ac356.4 million (US$260.86 million), a year-on-year increase of 7.9%. However, gross profit lost 3.5%, closing at \u20ac225.8 million (US$229.72 million).<\/p>\n

However, total net income is down 13.4%, to \u20ac49.4 million (US$50.27 million). At the same time, operating income is \u20ac52.8 million (US$53.71 million), but operating expenses are \u20ac173 million (US$176 million).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
