Lottomatica: first-half profit rises to 112.85 million, revenue up 5 per cent; guidance confirmed -2-
(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - “The second quarter of 2026 continues to demonstrate our ‘steady growth’ across all key financial and business indicators: growth in adjusted EBITDA in every quarter of the last 10 years (with the exception of the period of Covid-related restrictions), and a continuous and substantial increase in margins thanks to our online market and a steadily growing market share ,” commented Guglielmo Angelozzi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lottomatica. “As a result, we have consistently delivered superior returns to our shareholders and distributed over 10 per cent of our market capitalisation since June 2025 (including share buybacks). “In the wake of this strong quarter, we also reaffirm our forecast to close the 2026 financial year with adjusted EBITDA at the upper end of the guidance range.”
Total revenue for the first half of the year stood at 24 billion euros, an increase of 9 per cent on 2025, with online revenue up 12 per cent on the previous year. Gross gaming revenues, i.e. revenue net of payouts, stood at 2.413 billion (+2%). Lottomatica’s market shares rose by around one percentage point in all three sectors: online (31.6%), iSports (31.8%) and iGaming (31.6%).
