In 2007 the bwin Group successfully implemented the strategic goals set out in late 2006. After having mastered the challenges of 2006 such as the closure of the US market, the Group concentrated in 2007 on its core products and markets, determined to restore profitability and deliver continuing value to its shareholders.
bwin reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (clean EBITDA) of EUR 62.9 million in 2007, compared to EUR minus 5.4 million for the same period the previous year. As a proportion of net gaming revenues, this is equivalent to a clean EBITDA margin of 20.1%. Adjusted for customers´ deposits, the Company had a net cash position at the end of 2007 of EUR 43.4 million (2006: EUR 16.3 million).
Compared to its most important competitors, which report in USD or GBP, in 2007 bwin reported the strongest organic growth of net gaming revenues in a euro-based comparison.
Net gaming revenues (gross gaming revenues less all deductions such as betting duties, casino taxes and bonuses granted to customers) amounted to EUR 309.5 million in 2007. This represented an increase of 25.8% compared to FY 2006 (EUR 246.0 million). This was attributable mainly to an increase in net gaming revenues from poker to EUR 74.4 million (up 49.7% compared to 2006), and sports betting to EUR 165.9 million (up 23.3% compared to 2006).
As previously reported in connection with the bwin Games transaction (formerly the Ongame Group), during 2007 a majority of the sellers of Ongame entered into a contractual agreement in which they waived the unpaid part of the purchase price still due to them. In 2007 bwin stated a reversal of impairment charges in the amount of EUR 58.9 million (2006: impairment charges in the amount of EUR 516.6 EUR) resulting mainly from this agreement. As a consequence, the operating result (EBIT clean) for 2007 improved to EUR 72.8 million (2006: EUR minus 585.8 million).
A profit after tax of EUR 50.4 million was reported for 2007, in comparison with a loss after tax and minority interests of EUR 539.6 million in 2006.
The complete report on the final results on the fourth quarter 2007 and the financial year 2007 can be found online on the bwin investor relations website at www.bwin.ag, where it can also be downloaded in PDF format.
