In a recent H1 2023 report for Playtech Live, it shows a five-year high in revenue, totalling €859.6m ($902m), an 8% increase from H1 2022. Additional highlights include a 10% rise in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations compared to H1 2022.
However, despite these gains, Playtech's post-tax profit for H1 2023 decreased by 96% to €3.1m, primarily due to a significant €79.8m investment in Hard Rock Digital during H1 2023, in exchange for a minority ownership stake.
In Q1 2023, Playtech reported steady growth in both B2B and B2C divisions. Playtech also extended its software licence agreement with Buzz Bingo until 2031.
