Jesper Svensson. CEO,  said, In the fourth quarter of 2025, we saw continued good customer activity with an increased number of active players compared to the same period last year. Revenue was EUR 304 (307) million and operating income was EUR 53 (70) million. 

Regionally, we saw continued good growth in Western Europe and Latin America, but a slowdown in the Nordic region and CEECA. B2C revenue continued to increase, thanks to successful product and marketing investments, while B2B revenue was lower than the comparison period last year. The decline was mainly due to one of Betsson’s B2B customers having lower revenue than in the corresponding period in the previous year. Total Group revenue decreased by one percent in the quarter. 

The share of revenue from locally regulated markets continued to increase and reached an all-time high of 68 (60) percent, which consequently drove higher gaming taxes.

We continued to invest in the product and technology organization to strengthen the customer experience and our long-term competitiveness, which meant higher personnel costs. Higher gaming taxes and increased personnel costs had a negative impact on profitability and operating income during the quarter.

Despite the lower profitability, Betsson stands strong operationally with a competitive product offering, increasing brand awareness and technology at the forefront. 

Betsson’s commitment to tennis was further strengthened during the period. In October, we once again sponsored the ATP tournament in Stockholm, where Casper Ruud had an impressive run and won the tournament. 

In November, we successfully refinanced the 2023/2026 bond by issuing a new four-year senior unsecured bond of EUR 75 million. This transaction was executed at a credit spread of 275 basis points above EURIBOR – the lowest ever for Betsson – and marks a significant improvement compared to the previous bond. 

Our strong financial position provides us with good conditions to invest in long-term, profitable growth and to deliver returns for our shareholders. During the quarter, the Board of Directors initiated a share buy-back program corresponding to EUR 40 million, and an ordinary dividend of EUR 0.66 (0.657) per share has been proposed for 2025.

Looking ahead, we are entering 2026 with a number of activities that provide good conditions for growth. We are also looking forward with great anticipation to the FIFA World Cup, where a record number of matches and participating nations will create exciting opportunities for betting and for attracting new customers. The investments made in recent years as well as our pipeline of projects for 2026 support our ambition to continue to generate long-term shareholder value.
