Playtech delivered a transitional FY25 as it repositioned itself into a more focused, predominantly B2B technology-led gaming business, with reported financials impacted by structural changes but underlying growth trends remaining robust. Group revenue declined 10% to €763.6m, while Adjusted EBITDA fell 9% to €197.0m, largely reflecting the revised Caliente Interactive agreement, which reduced reported B2B revenues but introduced a higher-quality earnings stream via equity-accounted investment income. The key strategic inflection in the year was the disposal of Snaitech for €2.3bn, completing Playtech’s exit from large-scale B2C operations and crystallising significant value, with over €800m of cash generated and approximately €1.8bn returned to shareholders via a special dividend. This materially simplifies the investment case, leaving a capital-light, higher-margin B2B platform combined with a portfolio of strategic equity stakes, notably in Caliente Interactive (30.8%) and Hard Rock Digital. Operationally, headline B2B performance appears weaker due to the Caliente contract change, with B2B revenue down 9% and EBITDA down 36%. However, adjusting for this accounting shift, underlying performance is more resilient, with regulated market revenues (c.80% of B2B) growing 6%, supported by strong momentum in the US and selective European markets. SaaS revenues increased 48%, highlighting structural growth in higher-quality, recurring revenue streams. The Americas remain the core growth engine. US revenues nearly doubled (+~100%), driven by expansion across regulated iGaming states and deepening partnerships with major operators including DraftKings, FanDuel and Hard Rock Digital. Playtech has now established a presence in six US states, with further expansion expected as regulation progresses. Latin America also delivered growth, supported by the revised Caliente structure....
