Evolution Gaming Q3 Interim Report 2019

 

Comments from CEO Martin Carlesund: “I am very satisfied to report consistently strong results for the third quarter. Our investments in new games and studios are having an increasingly strong impact, which is reflected in both the high growth as well as stronger margins. We have also seen a further increased demand for Evolution’s products globally. In addition, we now see clearly that we are reaching completely new player types, who to a large extent are playing Live games for the first time. These new players are being converted from other game categories, such as slots, which is very encouraging to see. Through our expansion and construction of studio capacity, together with the 10 new games launched during the first half of 2019, we are also favourably positioned to take advantage of the growing general demand for Live.

Revenues in the third quarter amounted to EUR 94.7 million, an increase of 47 percent compared to last year. EBITDA amounted to EUR 48.5 million, with a margin of 51.2 percent. For the nine-month period, the EBITDA margin was 48.9 percent. Based on this outcome, we will end up slightly above the previously communicated margin range of 47-49 percent for the 2019 full year.

Evolution’s products experience high demand all over the world, which can be seen in our growth which is truly global. To increase the understanding of our geographical reach, starting in this report we will break down our revenues per region. We are growing together with our customers in all regions, with the highest growth in Asia and North America. We expect this development to continue and it reflects the operators’ focus on new growth markets. In some regulated markets in Europe, online casino has entered a more mature phase, but Live Casino as a vertical continues to grow its share of the total market.

As previously communicated, we continue to invest in additional studio capacity to meet the total demand for Live. Our all-new studio in Malta is now operational, and we are also continuing to expand our existing studios in both Georgia and New Jersey. In Georgia, we have now doubled the capacity since the launch of the studio in April 2018. By the end of the year, we will also have doubled the capacity in New Jersey in order to add more games from our portfolio and to allow additional space for dedicated customer environments. Currently, we offer 9 out of 21 game titles from our portfolio to operators in the state.

During the quarter, we received an Interactive Gaming Manufacturer licence from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, which is a prerequisite to be able to offer our services in Pennsylvania. Based on our experience in New Jersey, we see great opportunities to attract both online operators and land-based casinos with our offering. Planning for the studio is in full swing with launch during 2020.

After the end of the quarter we have signed an agreement with Flutter Entertainment and its successful brands Paddy Power and Betfair. The deal is the result of a dialogue that has been going on for many years, and which has been intensified thanks to our latest innovations. We look forward to developing this partnership over time.

For us, 2019 has been a year of products and innovation. We have further strengthened our development capabilities and going forward, we will keep up the pace in the development of new games. Behind the scenes, the work to develop our core games while also expanding the Live vertical with new innovations is always ongoing. When we publish the 2019 year-end report in February, ICE 2020 will have just ended. As in previous years, our ambition is to pave the way for the entire industry by launching new ground-breaking products.

The absolute core of Evolution is built on innovation with a focus to meet the demand for Live and to constantly increase the gap to the competition. I have a confident view of what the future will bring. “

A chaotic jungle journey with big, bad foes and insane riches.

Welcome to the jungle, where Shoot Happens! Face your opponent, take aim, and fire your way to riches.

ELA Games unveils its boldest title to date, a combination of decision-making and narrative progression where every shot counts.

In Shoot Happens, you’re not just a player. You’re the main character who has to fend off waves of increasingly dangerous (and valuable) monsters.

The Choice Is Yours

Each round is in the hands of the player. Do you cash out now? Or keep slashing through the jungle for bigger and better rewards? Decision-making, timing, and a whole load of guts go a long way.

Expect the Unexpected

Random projectile bonuses can appear in any round, boosting your rewards massively. And just when you thought your journey through the treacherous jungle was over, the final boss appears. While the other monsters may have been a piece of cake, he doesn’t stay down. Each time you defeat him, he respawns for juicier and recurring payouts. Keep going as long as you can handle it, and you might walk out as the top dog of the jungle.

Marharyta Yerina, ELA Games’ Managing Director, commented on the game’s release, “With Shoot Happens, the team ventured outside of conventional game formats, and we wanted to give players a super engaging experience where they’re in control. This title is a bold approach to game design in this industry, as we’re empowering players with choice and enriching the gameplay experience with strong visuals, narratives, and plenty of replayability.”

Play how you want. The Winpot is yours

Shoot Happens is the perfect blend of fast-paced action, bold decision-making, and interactive gameplay. Whether you’re a cautious player or a complete daredevil, the game is an enticing experience for all.

How deep into the jungle are you willing to go?

HIPTHER, the innovative events organiser and media hub behind renowned boutique conferences and online news platforms for the iGaming and Technology industries, is thrilled to announce its new, dynamic era of operations.

Staying true to its international character, HIPTHER breaks free from geographical and logistical limitations by becoming an e-resident company of Estonia and embracing a fully remote work model built on trust, flexibility, and technology.

 

Estonian E-Residency: A Logical Step Forward for HIPTHER

With a strong focus on innovation, digitalisation, and entrepreneurship, Estonia has long been at the forefront of e-governance. For HIPTHER, a company operating across borders with a digital-first mindset, joining the Estonian e-Residency programme was not just a strategic move – it was the natural next step.

The e-Residency allows HIPTHER to maintain a fully online EU-based company, benefiting from Estonia’s transparent business environment, streamlined administration, and modern legal framework. It enables the team to manage operations more efficiently, with secure access to digital services and the freedom to work from anywhere in the world.

Estonia’s global-first approach mirrors HIPTHER’s own values: agility, decentralisation, and forward-thinking, making this alignment more than practical; it’s philosophical. With its new base in the digital nation, HIPTHER further amplifies its mission to connect industries, foster innovation, and redefine how modern companies operate and grow.

 

Remote Work Model: Trust, Flexibility, Collaboration in a Tech-forward Era

Supported by e-Residency and the innovative mindset echoed across HIPTHER’s conferences, virtual events, and media outlets – which cover cutting-edge industries such as Gaming, Fintech, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and beyond – the #hipthers are now able to collaborate fully remotely.

Following technological advancements and staying true to its human-centric values of wellness, balance, trust, and originality, HIPTHER takes a bold leap toward remote work –  where others can’t or won’t.

From managing international summits and awards to running online media and virtual panels, HIPTHER has long relied on digital infrastructure, and now turns this into a permanent advantage.

Zoltan Tuendik, HIPTHER’s Co-Founder & Head of Business, shared his thoughts behind this big next step for the company: “We believe in building a future where innovation, flexibility, and human-centric values guide everything we do. For several years now, our team has been working across borders, embracing remote collaboration and digital-first operations. With this step we’re solidifying and elevating a way of working that’s already part of our DNA. Becoming an e-resident company empowers us to bring lasting change and sets the stage for our next chapter of global impact.

 

Join the #hipthers Journey – We’re Hiring!

HIPTHER is growing, and we’re on the lookout for passionate, creative, and driven individuals to join our fully remote team. If you’re excited about working across dynamic industries like iGaming, Tech, Blockchain, and more, we want to hear from you!

Midnite launches in-stadium £1,000 giveaway for Sheffield United and Southampton fans at every home league game

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

  • Brace Yourself campaign gives supporters chance to win at every home league match

  • Cash prize awarded every time a home player scores two goals

  • Midnite will match winning prize pot with charitable donation

Fast-growing UK sportsbook Midnite will give Sheffield United and Southampton fans the chance to net £1,000 at every home league match throughout the new season.

Midnite is the front-of-shirt sponsor for Sheffield United and the back-of-shirt sponsor for Southampton and is launching the Brace Yourself campaign for supporters of both clubs.

It means every time a home player scores twice – a brace – one lucky member of the matchday crowd will grab a grand or possibly more – if no brace is scored, the prize pool will roll over to the next home match.

Midnite will also match the prize pool with a donation to charity close to each club.

Fans at Bramall Lane and St Mary’s can enter by scanning QR codes placed around the stadiums and in the matchday programmes and a seat number will be drawn at random before kick-off.

Brace Yourself kicks off on Saturday (August 9) when Southampton host Wrexham and Sheffield United entertain Bristol City.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said: “We want fans to be on the edge of their seats throughout the season.

“When a home player scores a brace in the EFL Championship this season, Midnite will reward one lucky fan with a cash prize giveaway. Starting off at £1,000 and rolling over each week if there isn’t a winner, the excitement should build throughout the campaign.

“Midnite will also match the fan prize and donate the same amount to a local charity, in a bid to repay some of the amazing work that they do within the local community.”

 

Midnite’s Brace Yourself campaign is open to fans aged 18 and older.
