Playtech PLC, a gambling software developer recently lowered its revenue forecast as the company saw increased competition in the Asian market. This news caused the shares of Playtech PLC, London-listed company, to drop by about 30% the following day. The stock tumbled to a 5-year low of 5.3 British pounds.

A representative from the company commented on Playtech’s revenue prospects, saying: “Given the recent decline and in the absence of any change in market dynamics, we expect a significant impact on revenue throughout the rest of the year.” According to analysts at Investec, this drop could be as large as 25% of first-half average daily revenue in Asia. If the forecast is true, it reduces Playtech’s expected revenue from the Asian region by 70 million euros for the year. “Clearly the recent trading performance in Asia is disappointing,” – commented Mor Weizer, the CEO of Playtech. Aggressive pricing environment is being actively presented as the main cause of the underperformance in the Asian market.

According to Norske Casino webportal, Playtech’s overall performance, on the other hand, is strong and reassuring. Excluding the Asian market, Playtech showed a 7% increase in year-to-date average daily revenue in the B2B gaming business. Playtech expects to earn adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of 320-360 million euros in 2018. For comparison, Playtech’s EBITDA in 2017 was 322.1 million.
