LeoVegas AB: Preliminary results for the second quarter 2018 higher than expected
18.07.2018 – The LeoVegas Group (“LeoVegas“) EBITDA for the second quarter of 2018 amounts to approximately EUR 15 million (approximately 17% EBITDA margin), which is higher than the company’s internal expectations. The reason for communicating the preliminary result early is that LeoVegas’ marketing costs in relation to revenue are approximately 35%. This is significantly lower than what was communicated by the company in the quarterly report for the first quarter, where it was expected that marketing costs in relation to revenue would exceed 42% in the second quarter. Revenue for the second quarter amounts to approximately EUR 87 million.
“Our data-driven marketing model works so that we only invest if we see good enough returns in our marketing channels. During the World Cup there are many gaming companies that are advertising, which means that the effectiveness of marketing and the value of customers can be more uncertain. Our models have indicated that we should not advertise in some channels due to the low return, which in turn led to a significantly higher EBITDA than expected. We continue to act in line with achieving our financial targets, which is to reach EUR at least 600m in revenue and EUR 100m in EBITDA results in 2020, ” comments Gustaf Hagman, CEO of LeoVegas Mobile Gaming Group.
In the quarterly report for the first quarter is was communicated that: “Marketing in relation to revenue for the Group in the second quarter of 2018 will be higher than the average for 2017, which was 42.3%. Due to the marketing opportunities surrounding the World Cup, the total amount of marketing is more difficult than usual to anticipate in advance. LeoVegas will act opportunistically with marketing on the opportunities we see.”
Preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2018
Work on the quarterly report for the second quarter is ongoing and the figures presented below are only preliminary. Marketing costs are expected to amount to approximately EUR 30 million and revenues are expected to amount to approximately EUR 87 million. Marketing costs in relation to the Company’s revenues are expected to amount to approximately 35%. This has a material effect on the Company’s EBITDA, which is expected to amount to approximately EUR 15 million with an EBITDA margin of about 17%.
LeoVegas’ quarterly report for the second quarter of 2018 will be published on August 1st. In addition to what is stated herein, the company will not comment on the results before the quarterly report for the second quarter is published. In connection with the presentation the same day at 9:00 CET there will be the opportunity to ask questions. The webcast is available at:https://edge.mediaserver.com/m6/p/zupwii5n

RacingTV joins forces with 2mee
Affiliate powerhouse is allowing its operators to leverage the power of direct human messaging with trial campaigns hitting engagement rates of 38%
2mee, the Direct Human Messaging platform that helps online gambling companies take player communication and engagement to the next level, has joined forces with RacingTV so that the affiliate powerhouse can offer its technology to operators.
This means that online sportsbook brands working with RacingTV can create human hologram messages and use them to drive bettors to their sites.
RacingTV partners Bet Victor and SkyBet have been trialling the technology for several weeks now and across various campaigns have been able to achieve unrivalled rates of engagement and conversion.
One messaging campaign has performed particularly well with Bet Victor ambassador Harry Redknapp delivering a new player bonus offer which hit an engagement rate of 38% with his hologram message.
2mee’s patented technology allows gambling operators and affiliates to send Human Hologram Messages directly to customers in a way that demands their absolute attention.
It has been deployed by big-name brands such as BetFred and Sportsbet.io on their own websites and apps to leverage the power of emotional intelligence to boost acquisition and retention, and deliver KYC and compliance messaging with empathy.
Now operators can maximise their ambassadors and brand reach on third-party affiliate collateral as well.
2mee has been designed to do everything a volumetric studio can do but from a mobile phone. The user simply records the person delivering the message from any setting then 2mee recognises the face and cuts out the surrounding clutter, focusing the viewer on the person and the message.
James Riley, CEO of 2mee, said: “We are thrilled to be working with the innovative team at RacingTV and for its operator partners to be able to use our technology to send direct human messages to bettors. This really does allow them to stand out from the crowd and take engagement and conversion to the next level.
“Emotional marketing is absolutely the most effective way to engage and communicate with consumers and what better way of fostering this connection than via a face-to-face message. 2mee allows operators and affiliates to do just that.”
Clive Cottrell at RacingTV, added: “Quite frankly, we haven’t seen engagement and conversion rates like it. While running hologram campaigns, both BetVictor and SkyBet were our top-performing brands on the pages where the hologram messages were active.
“As an affiliate, this not only allows us to acquire increased volumes of new customers to our operator partners, but we too benefit from enhanced engagement, conversion rates and affiliate revenue streams.”
Luke Zgaga, Head of Acquisition UK at Bet Victor, said: “2mee’s value proposition through offering a unique human hologram message to prospects was exciting for us to test and exceeded our expectations. We saw strong results and far beyond the engagement levels we get with static image formats and look forward to working with them in the future.”
