AGM Trading Update
Very strong start to 2026 with continued momentum in regulated markets
Playtech plc (LSE: PTEC) is pleased to report strong trading for the period from 1 January 2026 to 30 April 2026.
The stronger-than-expected performance in the Americas, as flagged in the Company's FY25 trading update (in February 2026) and the full year results (in March 2026), has continued. Playtech has achieved an excellent trading performance for the first four months of 2026 driven by continued strength in the US, Mexico and certain European markets as well as a solid performance in Live, as returns on the Company's investments in recent years accelerate.
Mor Weizer, CEO, said:
"We have made an excellent start to 2026, with strong trading in the first four months of the year reflecting continued momentum in regulated markets, notably the Americas and certain European markets. Performance in the US, in particular, has been encouraging, as returns on our investments over recent years continue to accelerate and contribute meaningfully to profitability.
Meanwhile, our partnership with Caliente Interactive in Mexico continues to perform strongly, with the upcoming World Cup representing a significant opportunity to further strengthen Caliente's leadership position in the market.
Despite the ongoing sector headwinds, the combination of Playtech's strong expansion in regulated markets, diversified footprint, highly scalable technology and deep partner relationships, leaves the Group well positioned to capture the significant market opportunity ahead."
