For 2021, XLMedia expects revenue of USD66.6 million, in line with expectations and up 22% from USD54.8 million. "Whilst the group expects the US Sports vertical to deliver strong growth in FY22, this will be, in part, offset by the managed decline of the European Casino vertical and restructuring of the Personal Finance vertical," XLMedia explains.
