Allwyn Global, a prominent entity in the gambling sector, has commenced the year with remarkable strength. Their initial quarter financial figures reveal a substantial 65% surge in gross gaming revenue (GGR) in contrast to the corresponding timeframe last year. This notable expansion was propelled by a resumption of more typical operations, particularly within their physical outlets, which had encountered disruptions due to pandemic-induced closures in significant regions such as Greece and Italy.
The enterprise, previously recognized as Sazka, generated €869 million (approximately $912 million) during the first quarter, a considerable leap from €526 million the preceding year. This favorable trajectory is similarly apparent in their adjusted EBITDA, which witnessed an even more substantial increase of 86%, approaching nearly €269 million.
This triumph follows closely on the heels of several significant actions undertaken by Allwyn. In January, the corporation unveiled intentions to list on the New York Stock Exchange, and in March, they secured the highly sought-after designation as the favored contender for the United Kingdom’s fourth National Lottery permit. Nevertheless, the incumbent operator, Camelot, is pursuing legal action to contest this determination.
Robert Chvatal, Chief Executive Officer of Allwyn Global, conveyed his contentment with the company’s achievements, remarking, “I am delighted to report another series of robust outcomes for Allwyn Global, as we embark on the year with significant momentum and the execution of crucial strategic endeavors.” The organization is undeniably in a formidable position as it navigates these promising advancements and sets its sights on sustained expansion.
Chvatal remarked, ‘The commencement of 2022 was remarkably robust, characterized by significant strides that position us advantageously for future triumphs.’
While conceding that inflationary pressures have indeed curtailed consumer expenditures broadly, he maintained that Allwyn has remained relatively insulated.
‘Our offerings are priced quite reasonably, customers tend not to make substantial single purchases, and our clientele is notably devoted, thus our performance has been satisfactory to date,’ he elaborated.”
