CEO's comments

For the fourth quarter of 2025, Evolution reported net revenues of EUR 514.2 million and after adjusting for other operating revenues, EBITDA amounted to EUR 341.5 million, corresponding to a year-on-year revenue decline of 3.7 percent and a margin of 66.4 percent. Net revenue growth at constant currency is estimated to be 4.9 percent.

Looking at 2025 as a whole from an operational perspective, it might have been one of our strongest years ever with amazing new games and studio expansions in all parts of the world. On top of that, we have handled several tough and sometimes unexpected situations; ring-fencing, extremely questionable or even criminal activities from competitors, and cyber criminality. Despite these challenges we still delivered a solid margin of 66.1 percent and a fantastic cash flow. The financial performance was not as strong as we would have wanted when entering the year, but I am happy with the way the company has stood up for what is right and lived up to our ambition to become a little bit better every day. So with that said, overall, we are proud but not happy with 2025. Our amazing people look forward to doing more in 2026 by expanding with full speed. Our primary focus will be on the USA, Latin America and new innovative games. We will also invest in Europe, but slightly less aggressively. With this expansion in mind, we estimate to deliver a margin in line with 2025.

Zooming in on the fourth quarter, Asia has turned back to growth compared to the third quarter, signaling some progress in our hard work to combat cyber criminality. The progress is slow, methodical, and very important. Our studio in the Philippines is also continuing to develop nicely.

We continue to grow decently in North America even if we want it to go faster. It is still early days for the online gaming industry, and we believe the region will see an increasing share of Live. To increase penetration and options, we re-launched our second brand Ezugi during the quarter, starting in New Jersey with a clear goal to become the #2 Live Casino provider in the US. As a next step, we will establish a new studio in Grand Rapids to support Ezugi's expansion to Michigan.

Latin America grew well year-on-year. Brazil is continuing to progress following the new regulation, and we see that players are increasingly discovering and enjoying our wide portfolio of games.

Other markets, mainly constituting Africa, continued to grow at high pace during the quarter.

To sum up the above, Asia, North America, Latin America and Africa all did well in the quarter; however, development in Europe was not good, burdened by unfavorable regulatory movements. We believe that Evolution currently has the strongest ring-fencing measures in place among all suppliers, but we also recognize that the regulated markets are losing ground. The regulatory scale is not in balance, and this development is bad for the most vulnerable players. However, the scale tends to swing over time, and we remain as committed as ever to providing European operators and players with the most entertaining experiences.

Our product roadmap for the next twelve months is nothing short of spectacular and might prove to be the largest step ever in terms of increasing the gap relative to our competition. I know that it is something you have heard me say before, but this year is truly special. In mid-2025 we entered an exclusive multi-year licensing partnership with Hasbro, which is now materializing in exciting new game titles across both our Live and RNG universe. Among the many highlights are the two largest game shows to date – Game Night and MONOPOLY Filthy Rich. We always want to push the boundaries for interactive entertainment, meeting the increasing and changing user requirements, and I think our teams have outdone themselves this year. Very exciting!

2026 marks Evolution's 20th anniversary. Looking back at the first twenty years, from a first small Live studio in Latvia to the global giant in interactive entertainment that Evolution is today, is almost overwhelming. We have reached that position by constantly challenging ourselves, both in good and bad times, and we will continue to do so for the next 20 years as well. Looking at the market over the two decades gone by and the extreme pace of online technology and overall digitalization of society, the majority of gaming is still landbased. In other words, opportunities are immense! We look forward to 2026.

Market development

Online Casino market

The global online casino market (Live & RNG) has grown strongly in recent years and is expected to continue to be among the fastest-growing gaming segments in the coming years. Evolution's target is to grow faster than the market. Market growth is influenced by several underlying factors, such as technological advances with, among other things, improved hardware and increased bandwidth, the migration of land-based casinos to online environments and market regulations. Increased use of mobile devices has been a growth driver for many years, and in the fourth quarter 74.0 percent (72.0) of the operators' GGR via Evolution's platform was generated by mobile devices. RNG is the largest vertical of the online casino market. However, to a large extent, growth is driven by Live having grown in importance for most gaming operators and has become an integrated and strategically important product for them.

As a B2B supplier, Evolution has customer relationships with gaming operators, who in turn own the relationships with the end users. Generally, the gaming operators are licensed in a limited number of jurisdictions while operating in a global market and allowing play from various geographic areas.

Significant risks and uncertainties

Evolution's operations are exposed to certain risks that could have a varying impact on earnings or financial position. These can be divided into industry, operational, and financial risks. When assessing the Group's future development, it is important to take into account the risk factors, alongside any opportunities for profit growth.

The development of laws and regulations relating to the supply of gaming services that Evolution provides is a central risk factor for the Group's future earnings. The legal situation in regulated markets is of a particular interest and continuously monitored and managed by the Group. Despite this, there remains a risk that, in the event of legislation being interpreted in an unfavourable or unanticipated way, Evolution's conditions for growth, profitability, and the games that may be supplied could be changed. Likewise, a favourable interpretation could have a positive impact on the Group.

One or more markets may be affected by events that may result in rapid changes in the business environment. Examples of this kind of events which could lead up to production disruption are extreme weather events, social unrest, diseases (e.g. virus outbreaks) or other macroeconomic or geopolitical events affected by external influences.

For further information about Evolution's risk exposure and handling, please see the Group's Annual Report for 2024, which is available on the company's website.

Dividend

The Board of Directors will decide on and announce its recommendation relating to the capital allocation, including shareholder remuneration, later in the quarter.

The company presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined under IFRS. The company believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and the company's management as they permit the evaluation of the company's financial performance and position. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to the measures used by other companies. Consequently, these financial measures should not be seen as a substitute for measures defined under IFRS. The tables below include measurements that are not defined in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise stated. For definitions and purposes, see also the last page of the report.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1. Accounting principles

Evolution prepares its financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the European Union. The Group's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Parent Company uses the same accounting principles as the Group, with the addition of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation; RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policies are unchanged from the 2024 annual report. There are no amendments to IFRS standards in 2025 that have had material impact on the Group's results of operations and financial position. Amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro (EUR) unless otherwise indicated. Amounts or figures in parentheses indicate comparative figures for the corresponding period last year.

Note 2. Events following the balance sheet date

No significant events.

Note 3. Incentive programmes

The company has two incentive programmes. Upon full exercise of the warrants within the programme 2023/2026 (adopted by the Extra General Meeting on 9 November 2023), the dilution effect will be approximately 0.9 percent. Upon full exercise of the warrants within the programme 2025/2028 (adopted by the Annual General Meeting on 9 May 2025), the dilution effect will be approximately 0.9 percent.

Note 4. Seasonality

Evolution's operations are, to a certain extent, influenced by seasonal patterns in end-user activity. The Group's customers generally notice increased end-user activity and an increased volume of operations in the fourth quarter of each year, which is consistent with the Group's experience of increased online casino traffic and commission income earned in the fourth quarter.

Note 5. Acquisition of group companies

In 2024, Evolution entered into an agreement to acquire Galaxy Gaming, Inc. for a total equity value of approximately USD 85 million, payable in cash. Closing is still pending and Galaxy Gaming Inc. is therefore not yet included in the consolidated accounts.

Evolution has during Q2 2025 made an earn-out payment of EUR 11.2 million for Nolimit City.

Evolution has decided to extend the earn-out period related to the purchase of BTG until 2031. The earn-out liability has at the same time been reduced with EUR 51.7 million which is recorded as other operating revenues. Remaining earn-out with net present value of EUR 51.6 million may be paid annually and with the last payment in 2031.

Note 6. Update on various legal proceedings

In December 2021, Evolution filed a lawsuit against Calcagni & Kanefsky LLP and the then-anonymous parties behind the defamatory report now known to be Black Cube and Playtech, for defamation, trade libel, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, fraud, and other illegal conduct, in the Superior Court of New Jersey. Now that the identities of the parties responsible for commissioning and producing the defamatory report is known, the litigation can proceed in earnest and is expected to extend through 2026.

In December 2024, Evolution announced that the UK Gambling Commission had commenced a review of Evolution Malta Holding Limited's operating license under Section 116 of the Gambling Act 2005. Evolution is cooperating fully with the Commission and has taken immediate actions to remedy the situation. The outcome of the review is still unknown to Evolution but might include sanctions or penalties.

During October 2025, Evolution secured legal win in a long-running US class action. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, was dismissed with prejudice in September. The appeal deadline expired in October, and the case was officially concluded.

Evolution is exposed to risks relating to other legal proceedings that could have a varying impact on earnings or financial position. For more information about risk factors in general, please refer to the Annual Report 2024.
