LEOVEGAS on the hunt
Against the background of strong organic growth and several acquisitions that are contributing to LeoVegas' success as a growth company, the Board of Directors has adopted new financial targets for the Group. LeoVegas is targeting at least EUR 600 m in revenue by 2020 and at least EUR 100 m in EBITDA by 2020. The targets apply for the entire Group.
Financial targets for 2020
Growth and revenue:
LeoVegas' target is to achieve revenue of at least EUR 600 m by 2020.
Profit:
LeoVegas' target is to achieve at least EUR 100 m in EBITDA by 2020.
"Following our acquisitions we have now drawn up new financial targets. In 2015 we set the target to achieve EUR 300 m in revenue by 2018. The new revenue target entails a doubling to at least EUR 600 m by 2020 and does not include potential major acquisitions. At the same time, we are aiming for EBITDA of at least EUR 100 m, which implies adjusted* earnings per share of at least SEK 8** by 2020. The new targets confirm our continued focus on strong growth combined with a sound view of profitability. The targets create transparency regarding where we are headed, both internally and externally," comments Gustaf Hagman, CEO of LeoVegas Mobile Gaming Group.

Long-term organic growth that outperforms the online gaming market
