“Excellent performance” in the US and strength in LatAm led to Playtech surpassing its H1 forecast, and has led to the supplier raising its FY2026 EBITDA guidance.
In a trading update published on Thursday, Playtech noted strong performance in the Americas during the first half of the year, as highlighted in its Q1 update earlier this year, had continued to accelerate across May and June.
As a result, Playtech delivered H1 results “significantly ahead” of market expectations, with an anticipated adjusted EBITDA of over €155 million [$177 million]. This, it said, was driven by both its US performance and “continued strength” in Mexico, Colombia and certain European markets.
