According to the Australian gaming supplier, it was able to maintain strong operational momentum despite the disruptions created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

From March, the supplier said financial results for its land-based business were “materially impacted” by the closure of properties as a result of the pandemic, the implementation of capacity restrictions and other social distancing measures.

Looking forward, Aristocrat said it is “well placed to maintain a long-term trajectory of high quality, sustainable growth.” The company praised its liquidity position, low debt and strong balance sheet.
