Investor & Analyst Day 2016

Playtech (LSE: PTEC) is today hosting an event for investors and analysts and is providing the following update on trading in H2 2016 to date.

Investor & Analyst Day 2016

The theme of the event is "Technology driving the customer journey" and will feature presentations on a range of topics including Playtech's strategy for BGT and Sports, innovation, regulation and business development as well as a presentation by Google on industry trends.

The presentations will be made available later today on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website.

H2 2016 update on trading

In H2 2016 to date, the Gaming Division has seen continued strong growth in underlying daily average revenues which are moderately ahead of the first 55 days of H2 as reported at the time of the 2016 interim results in August. Reported revenue growth in the same period has been impacted by the recent significant weakening of Sterling and other currencies against the Euro.

The Financials division has seen very positive signs of improvement in first time depositors and active customers in H2 2016 although overall performance has been impacted by low market volatility.
