Nektan Q3 FY19 TRADING UPDATE
Reading Time: 4 minutes
Nektan plc, the fast growing, award-winning international gaming technology platform and services provider, is pleased to announce a trading update for the third quarter of its financial year ending 30 June 2019 (Q3 FY19).
During the quarter, overall revenue rose 5.9% on the same period a year ago (Q3 FY18). The B2B division reported record growth and revenues, while B2C experienced a decline in KPIs as announced in the Company’s unaudited interim results released on 25 March 2019, due to a number of factors impacting FTDs and deposits, including seasonality, increased UK regulation around player marketing and verifications and a delay in the granting of the Company’s Swedish operator licence. The Board expects trading to improve in the next quarter (Q4 FY19).
The figures stated below are all unaudited.

- Signed a new contract with one of the largest casinos in Palm Springs, California.
- The proposed sale of the majority shareholding of Nektan’s US subsidiary, Respin, is being finalised and the Company expects to enter into a binding contract for the sale shortly, but in any event no later than 30 April 2019.
Lucy Buckley, Chief Executive Officer of Nektan, said:
“Q3 has been another record quarter of growth for our rapidly emerging B2B business. We continue to see strong demand for our award-winning casino technology as evidenced by the signing of 7 significant B2B partners during Q3 FY19. Having achieved EBITDA break-even in H1 of this financial year, a key achievement for Nektan, we remain on track to be break-even in FY19. As reported in our interim results announcement on 25 March 2019, whilst the headlines revenue figures are slightly down on Q2, our growing portfolio of partners means that we do not expect a repeat of what was a quiet period by historical standards.
Developments on the sale of our majority stake in the US division Respin are progressing and we expect to conclude this shortly and before 30 April 2019. This transaction will mean us maintaining a material stake in the emerging US market while removing the cash burn of this business. As a result of that deal, the other inter-conditional transactions, namely the fund raising and CLN conversion, are due to complete as well, putting Nektan in a very strong position to capitalise on our global growth prospects.”
