Comments from the CEO "I can confirm that the third quarter with a loss of 1,124 KEUR, mainly due to poor margins in trading, is one of the company's worst quarter from a historical perspective. This is a powerful signal that Betting Promotion must take quick action to return to profitability that is in line with expectations. 1 Net Turnover after trading fees as percent of Betting Turnover 2 Operating Income as percent of Net Turnover after trading fees INTERIM REPORT 2013 BETTING PROMOTION 1
For this reason, which can t be overstated, it is important to find an operational structure that can help to achieve this. Therefore, I note with satisfaction that the acquisition of Tain AB goes according to plan. says Betting Promotion s CEO Jonas Ornstein. Overview July - September 2013 Net Turnover after trading fees for the third quarter amounted to -173 KEUR (802). Betting Turnover for the third quarter amounted to 132,779 KEUR (159,829). This means that the third quarter shows a gross margin of -0.13% (0.50). Trading Trading refers to the turnover which is traded directly on Betting Exchanges with very small margins. Net Turnover from Trading for the third quarter amounted to -330 KEUR (743). Betting Turnover for the third quarter amounted to 123,962 KEUR (153,625). This means that Trading for the third quarter shows a gross margin of -0.27% (0.48). The lower Turnover is due to the fewer number of games events in 2013 and the regulation of gaming inter alia Greece, Spain, Germany and Cyprus. During the year no major championships take place. The regulation of the gaming market in Europe is forcing betting exchanges to close down its operations before receiving a license to operate and it affects Trading adversely by reduced turnover. Turnover were also affected by the fees we pay to trade. Fees do that we can not be in the best buying or selling position and thus have fewer trades and reduced turnover as a result. During the period we also see that this increases our risk. Wider margins can lead to an unbalanced book and unfavorable positions. The net revenue for Trading contains trading fees of 327 KEUR. Over a longer period the expected trading margin is between 0.3% and 0.6%. From our routine analysis of the applied trading models and betting patterns, we have concluded that the quarter s low margins are within the expected volatility. Bookmaker Bookmaker refers to the business where the company supplies odds to operators who in turn offer these prices to end consumers. Net Turnover for the third quarter amounted to 157 KEUR (59). Betting Turnover for the third quarter amounted to 8,817 KEUR (6,204). This leads to a gross margin of 1.79% (0.95). The product is continued in the investment phase. Bookmaking shows good margins that are well in line with major sportsbook operators and is a competitive alternative for operators who do not want to self-manage their odds and risk management.
