The Inspired Gaming Group, operator of the largest server-based gaming network in the UK, has reported positive annual financial results - its first since becoming AIM listed.
Group turnover for the 53 weeks ending September 30, 2006 were £171.1m, up 5.2 per cent from the same period a year earlier. A strong increase in its SBG business saw machine management revenues up 22 per cent and software sales up 69.2 per cent.
Group EBITDA was £21m, up from £19.2m for the same period previously. Strong SBG performance countered difficult trading conditions as a result of, among other things, the hot weather last year.
2006 was an “eventful year” for the group, said Inspired chairman Russell Hoyle, noting the AIM admission and increased rollout of server-based product particularly. New year business has also started strongly, with the renewal of its service contract with Gala Coral.
