Scout Gaming publishes Q4 2019: Revenues increased 117% to mSEK 10.0

”I’m happy to once again report a quarter undergoing solid growth, revenues increased by 117% to mSEK 10.0. We are experiencing an accelerating global demand for Scout Gaming’s products, which has resulted in an increased client activity both in terms of number of clients and number of products launched on each client.
Scout Gaming Operator Trading Index which illustrates the underlying client activity amounted to 1035, which is more than a tenfold increase since initiation and compared to the corresponding quarter previous year an increase amounting to 66%. The current growth is a result of previous signed agreements and proves that we are starting to experience results from previous investments in product and organization.
EBITDA improved from mSEK -15.8 to mSEK -8.1. Cash flows from operating activities improved from mSEK -11.2 to mSEK -2.6 during the current fourth quarter. We have a situation where we both have positive operational cash flow and EBITDA result within reach but also facing great growth possibilities.”
