Gustaf Hagman, Group CEO and co-founder, commented on LeoVegas’ Q1 performance: “In the first quarter, we started scaling our marketing efforts to continue to drive growth. In the second quarter, we expect our marketing to revenue ratio to be slightly higher than in the first quarter as we see positive return on investment on many new marketing efforts as well as opportunities to try new marketing channels that have the potential to scale up in the future.

“We continue to actively evaluate acquisition opportunities, and with a cash position of more than €60m, we have resources to carry out additional strategic acquisitions going forward. In summary, the first quarter was stable and represents yet another step on the path to our financial targets of €300m in revenue and a 15% margin by 2018.”
