2019—2020 THIRD QUARTER – Loto‑Québec is on track to meeting its
Three-quarters through the 2019-2020 fiscal year, Loto-Québec reports total revenues of $2.101 billion and consolidated net income of $1.082 billion.

“At this point in the fiscal year, we can confidently announce that we are on track to meeting, and even exceeding, our annual net income target of $1.295 billion,” said President and CEO Lynne Roiter.
HIGHLIGHTS
- In the lottery sector, revenues declined compared to the same period last year. The decrease is due to Lotto Max, which offered fewer jackpots of $50 million or more and Maxmillions prizes than in 2018–2019, which was an exceptional year as for the number of major jackpots offered.
- Loto-Québec paid out several major prizes during the last quarter, including jackpots of $50 million and $32 million.
- Casino and gaming hall revenues continued their upward trend.
- The online gaming site once again recorded higher revenues for both lottery and casino games.
- Revenues from the bar network were lower, mainly because of terminal withdrawals in areas targeted by the video lottery terminal network action plan.
- Revenues from bingo and Kinzo halls continued to grow.
- The World Lottery Association has renewed Loto-Québec’s Level 4 Certification—the highest level of accreditation for responsible gambling in the world.
- December 23, 2019, marked 50 years since the inception of Loto-Québec. The Corporation will be highlighting its history and launching several initiatives geared at its customers throughout the year.
The quarterly report is available on Loto-Québec’s website.

Rivalry Corp. Announces Significant Reduction in Operations and Evaluation of Strategic Alternatives
Rivalry Corp. announced that its Board of Directors has approved a significant reduction in operating activity as the Company evaluates strategic alternatives in respect of its assets and operations.
The Company is engaged in discussions with third parties regarding potential transactions. However, in light of recent performance volatility, the Board has determined to materially reduce the scale of operations while assessing whether a strategic transaction or other alternative can be advanced.
Effective immediately, the Company is implementing substantial cost reductions, including a significant workforce reduction and reduced operating expenditures. The Company has paused player activity on its platform and is facilitating player withdrawals in the ordinary course.
The Company is assessing a range of potential alternatives, which may include asset-level transactions, corporate transactions, restructuring initiatives or other strategic outcomes.
Given the Company’s reduced operating scale and the ongoing evaluation process, there can be no assurance that any strategic alternative will be completed or that operations will continue in their current form.
