Proforma performance:

  • Revenue growth in existing businesses of

13% in local currency, combined with £11m of sports betting revenue

  • Sportsbook net revenue % low due to high

level of promotional spend acquiring customers

  • Cost of sales disproportionately high on

sports betting given low sportsbook net revenue %

  • Sales and marketing costs reflect fantasy

synergies more than offset by spend on sports betting in New Jersey

  • Excluding sports betting, underlying

EBITDA improved by £19m from a loss of £9m in 2017 to a profit of £10m

  • Net revenue % reflects high level of online promotional spend and win-win nature of key US sports (infrequent draws)
  • Cost of sales:

— Initially high as proportion of revenue, given many costs are based on gross revenues (before promotional spend) — Structurally higher than other markets given market access costs, supplier revenue shares, data fees & payment processing challenges

  • Sportsbook contribution from newly launched online states is negative while the proportion of new customers

remains high (due to high levels of promotional and marketing spend versus revenue generated)

Revenue (net of promotions) less cost of sales (variable taxes & supplier costs) & marketing costs Includes product, technology & operations costs which are scalable and shared across businesses

  • Revenue growth since 2013 driven by sportsbook, which has matured back towards market growth
  • Exchange performance (flat Q2-Q4 2018) consistent with previous 5 years
  • Medium term pressures on business:

— Market ‘switch offs’ for the exchange (continued growth in other markets) — Sportsbook competitive intensity in horseracing reduced exchange price advantage — Focus on sustainability with more proactive responsible gambling measures
