We were able to win new contracts in the promising sectors of VLT monitoring in the US and online lottery in Canada and extend key contracts in our core business in Europe and Australia while actively pursuing every opportunity in our sector around the globe"

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

REVENUE

Reported consolidated revenue posted an increase compared to FY23, leading to total revenue for the twelve-month period ended December 31 st, 2024, of €376.4 (+3.4%).

▪ From a contribution perspective, Lottery Games remain our largest contributor to Group turnover with a share of 54.8%, followed by Sports Betting with a share of 23.1%, VLTs monitoring with a share of 11.3% and Technology contracts with a share of 10.7%.

  • Reported consolidated revenue for the twelve-month period is higher by €12.3m year over year. The main factors that drove top line performance are:
    • Increased revenue by €12.0m (or +16.6%) from our Management (B2B/ B2G) contracts fueled by strong growth in Turkey, despite the devaluation of Turkish lira (-11.1%), in part mitigated by lower revenue in Morocco as a result of the contract renewal with smaller contract value.
    • Higher revenue by €8.5m (or +30.1%) from our Licensed Operations (B2C) in Argentina following a 50% devaluation of the currency carried out by the country's new government in December 2023, heavily affecting last year's results. Current year results posted a 55.2% y-o-y increase in local currency terms.
    • Decreased revenue by €8.2m (or -3.1%) from our Technology and Support Services (B2B/ B2G) contracts mainly attributed to the implementation fees in Taiwan charged during 2023 and partially compensated by organic growth across most of the key regions.
  • On a quarterly basis, revenue increased by 34.3% compared to 4Q23, leading to total revenue for the three-month period that started on October 1 st, 2024, and ended on December 31 st , 2024, of €112.8m. Increased revenue for the quarter (€+28.8m) is primarily attributed to strong performance of Group's subsidiaries in USA, Turkey and Argentina. The increased revenue y-o-y was offset by the implementation fees in Taiwan within 2023 and the lower scope of the contract in Morocco.

GROSS GAMING REVENUE & Payout

Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) concluded at €355.5m in FY24, posting an increase of 2.0% (or €+7.0m) year on year. FY24 Payout Ratio5 was slightly higher by 0.7pps vs. FY23 (63.8% vs. 63.1% in FY23) 6 . In 4Q24, GGR increased by 22.4% (or €+19.3m y-o-y).

OPERATING EXPENSES7 & EBITDA8

  • Total Operating Expenses ended higher by €3.4m (or +3.0%) in FY24 (€117.5m vs. €114.1m in FY23). On a quarterly basis, Operating Expenses posted a decrease of €2.8m (or -7.3%) in 4Q24 (€34.9m vs. €37.6m in 4Q23).
  • Other Operating Income ended at €29.9m, presenting a decrease of 1.5% y-o-y (or €-0.5m). On a quarterly basis, Other Operating Income decreased by 9.6% or €-0.8m.
  • EBITDA amounted to €124.7m in FY24, posting a decrease of 3.7% (or €-4.8m) compared to FY23. Excluding the impact from the settlement agreement with the District of Washington DC and all related costs, AEBITDA amounted to €130.7m, slightly higher vs. last year (€129.5m in 2023), mainly driven by the organic growth across most key regions.
  • On a yearly basis, AEBITDA margin on sales posted a marginal decrease of 0.8pps, from 35.6% in FY23 to 34.7% in the current period.
  • On a quarterly basis, AEBITDA posted an increase of €10.8m (or +38.0%), while AEBITDA margin on sales increased by 0.9pps.

  • 7 Operating Expenses analysis excludes reorganization expenses.
  • 8 EBITDA analysis excludes Depreciation & Amortization and reorganization expenses.

5Payout ratio calculation excludes the IFRS 15 impact for payments to customers.

6 Licensed Operations Revenue also include a small portion of non-Payout related revenue, i.e., value-added services, which totaled €4.3m and €3.9m for FY24 and FY23 respectively, and €1.4m and €-0.6m for 4Q24 and 4Q23 respectively.

EBT / NIATMI

  • EBT in FY24 amounted to €18.0m compared to €33.6m in FY23, with the major drivers of the decrease being the settlement agreement with the District of Washington DC, the increased interest and related expenses, the higher D&A and the reorganization costs incurred within 2024. On a quarterly basis, EBT settles at €7.5m, higher by 6.0m vs. 4Q23 mainly fueled by the higher recorded EBITDA q-o-q.
  • NIATMI in FY24 concluded at €4.9m vs. €5.8m in FY23.

CASH FLOW

  • Operating Cash-flow in FY24 amounted to €87.2m compared to €112.5m in FY23, as a result of the unfavorable working capital movement due to the timing in customer receivables.
  • CAPEX in FY24 was €37.5m vs. €29.7m in FY23. FY24 results mainly include US projects' outflows and the license renewal payment in Turkey (€11.0m).
  • Net Debt, as of December 31 st, 2024, stood at €379.9m. Adjusting the impact of €24.2m from Restricted Cash, Adjusted Net Debt shaped at €355.7m, keeping adjusted net leverage ratio9 at 2.7x. During the year, the Company generated free cash flow10 of €34.6m and paid net interest of €32.2m. The successful refinancing actions of notes due September 2024 at the beginning of the year, required €24.2m guarantee deposit, while reorganization and bond issuance costs of €8.6m were also paid. Despite the capital repayments towards the Term Loan in the US and the Syndicated Bond Loan during 2024, the negative FX impact of currency movement on our US denominated debt, amounting to €11.8m fully offset the benefit from debt repayments resulting in Gross Debt decrease by €1.0m.

9 Adjusted net leverage ratio is defined as Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA.

10 Free Cash Flow defined as "Net Cash from Operating activities" adjusted for "Net Dividends", "Capex", "Repayment of leasing obligations", "Exchange differences" and "Return of Capital to minority shareholders of subsidiary".

OUTLOOK / RISKS

INTRALOT remains well-positioned for sustainable growth. Our commitment to technological innovation, strategic partnerships, and operational efficiency enables us to navigate market fluctuations effectively. With a strong presence in key international markets and a continuous focus on digital transformation, we are well-equipped to seize new opportunities in the evolving gaming industry. By leveraging our expertise in next-generation gaming solutions, we aim to enhance player engagement, expand our global footprint, and deliver long-term value to our stakeholders.

In an increasingly interconnected global economy, geopolitical tensions and economic conditions can significantly impact businesses across industries. The growing trend of protectionism—characterized by trade barriers, tariffs, and localization policies— poses significant challenges. Potential protectionist measures can lead to higher costs, reduced market flexibility, and the need for localized operational adjustments. As a company operating in the gaming and lottery sector, INTRALOT is not immune to these external factors, though gaming industry has shown above average resilience to macroeconomic turbulence.

Despite these challenges, the Management of the Company remains committed to resilience and adaptability. By closely monitoring global trends and optimizing our operational efficiency, we aim to mitigate risks while seizing opportunities for sustainable growth. Our strategic approach ensures that we remain well-positioned to navigate an evolving economic landscape and continue delivering value to our stakeholders.

INTRALOT Parent Company results
