The results comprise Coral Retail, Eurobet Retail and online, but exclude Gala Retail.

Discounting the regulatory impacts in the year due to the increase in UK machine games duty and high-staking restrictions on fixed-odds betting terminals, as well as the boost attributed to the FIFA World Cup in the previous year, underlying EBITDA was 30 per cent ahead.

In Q4, net revenue was £229.6m up four per cent year on year, with online 30 per cent ahead at £14.2m.
