Gaming operations saw sales increase from 291.9 to 813.3 million euros, while gaming technology (development, production and sale of technology products) saw sales increase to 504.8 million euros, after 336 .5 million euros in the first half of 2021. Overall, sales increased to 1.32 billion euros.
In particular, Germany, Great Britain, Eastern Europe and Spain have developed well. This is also reflected in the number of employees, which increased across the group from 21,028 to 21,721. The result for the period also increased sharply, rising from minus 59.2 to plus 122.9 million euros.
The operating result in the first half of the year amounts to 162.1 million euros (plus 200 percent). Incidentally, no dividend will be distributed for the 2021 or 2020 financial year. As in previous years, the profit will be used for debt reduction and investments. “In the first six months of 2022 alone, investments amounted to more than 100 million euros. This does not include the planned investments in the area of green energy,” says the gaming group. The equity ratio is currently 32.8 percent.
