“Tabcorp achieved revenue growth in the third quarter, driven by the performance of our Wagering & Media business,” said Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, David Attenborough.

“It was pleasing to see the momentum in Wagering continue on the back of a strong first half, which included a successful Soccer World Cup.”

Wagering & Media revenue for 3Q15 was $440.6 million, up 5.6%. Tabcorp’s market leadership in fixed odds and digital wagering continued, with these segments once again being the dominant drivers of the revenue growth.

3Q15 revenue in the Gaming Services business, TGS, was $24.2 million, flat to prior year. Growth was impacted by lower interest revenue, the result of reduced loan volumes. Importantly, TGS built on its NSW expansion program during the quarter by signing two new venues, with revenues to commence in FY16. In addition, TGS has successfully extended a number of Victorian contracts from five-year to ten-year arrangements. Approximately 80% of TGS’s Victorian machine base are now contracted through to 2022.

Keno 3Q15 revenue was down 13.8% to $43.9 million. The decline in revenue was primarily due to a disproportionate number of jackpot prizes being won by customers across all three states. The revenue impact of these additional jackpots was approximately $6 million. During the quarter, jackpot pooling launched between NSW and Victoria, with Queensland planned to follow in FY16. Tabcorp is focused on driving customer participation and giving Keno new energy through a re-launched brand, as well as new products and increased retail and digital integration.
