OPAP Reports Good Results for Q3 2019

Greek operator OPAP has reported good results for the third quarter of 2019. In the three-month period, OPAP posted net profits of €48.8 million, representing a 24.5% increase from the €39.2 million in 2018.

Gaming gross revenue (GGR) in the third quarter increased by 6.7% year-on-year based on €393.6 million as a result of strong lotteries’ performance, increased contribution of VLTs and scratch & lottery recovery.

For the first nine months of 2019, net profits totalled €140.6 million, up by 33.6% from the €105.2 million in the same period last year.

“Our financial results for the third quarter further highlight the growth that the OPAP team has achieved, thanks to the investments made and the hard work of recent years. As revenue and profitability grow well compared to 2018, I believe that OPAP continues to benefit from its ongoing transformation. In the third quarter, similar trends were observed to those of the first half of 2019, with strong results in lotteries, dynamic performance in slot machines (VLTs) and continuous improvement in sports betting performance,” Damian Koop, Managing Director of OPAP said.

“With regard to customer relationships, our active online customer base continues to grow on a monthly basis, VLTs and new Tora services. We are now just a few weeks before 2020, the year of the 2020 Vision, as it was originally presented. Until then, we will focus on achieving our goals for the rest of 2019. In this context, we are optimistic that we will successfully achieve our goals for the whole year,” Damian Koop added.
