Trading update and notice of H1 2025 interim results

Playtech plc (LSE: PTEC), the leading platform, content and services provider in the online gambling industry, is pleased to report on trading for H1 2025, ahead of interim results due to be announced on 11 September 2025.

Trading update

Since the AGM trading statement on 21 May 2025, the Company has delivered a strong performance underpinned by good momentum across our B2B business and a better than expected contribution from income from associates. The latter was primarily due to Caliente Interactive benefitting from favourable sporting results in Q2 2025. Caliente Interactive has also now declared and paid its first dividend under the revised strategic agreement.

As a result, the Company now expects Adjusted EBITDA* for H1 2025 to be at least €90 million.

The Company continues to anticipate increased investment for growth in the US and Brazil in the second half of 2025, and we remain mindful of the headwinds in Brazil and Colombia flagged in May's trading statement. Given the exciting growth opportunities ahead, the Board remains very confident in Playtech's ability to execute on its strategy as a predominantly pure-play B2B business.

H1 2025 interim results date

Playtech will release its half year results for six months ended 30 June 2025 on 11 September 2025. There will be an in-person results presentation at 09:00am (BST) hosted by Mor Weizer, Chief Executive Officer and Chris McGinnis, Chief Financial Officer.

The presentation will be held at Chartered Accountants Hall, One Moorgate Place, EC2R 6EA, which will also be accessible via live webcast. Webcast details will be provided in due course.

Shareholders and analysts wishing to attend the presentation in person should register their interest by emailing playtech@headlandconsultancy.com.

*Adjusted EBITDA includes the operating loss of HAPPYBET and our share of income from associates, notably from our 30.8% shareholding in Caliente Interactive. It excludes the contribution from Snaitech for the period it was owned by Playtech in FY 2025.

This announcement has been issued by, and is the sole responsibility of, Playtech.

The person responsible for making this announcement is Sandeep Gandhi (Head of Investor Relations).
