For this reason the new Company Chairman, Mr Peter Åström, will act as Executive Chairman and work together with management and staff to make a review of the business. The Company's two products, Trading and Bookmaking, will be subject to an analysis and a new business plan will be established. 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
Comments from the CEO Second-quarter earnings were well below budget. For Trading the margin was 0.3%, i.e. the bottom limit of the expected margin of between 0.3% to 0.6%. For Bookmaking the margin was in line with expectations, albeit with very low volumes. The negative net income is due to lower gaming turnover, write-downs during the quarter in question and continued investment in the product Bookmaking. The lower gaming turnover is a consequence of the fact that there are no major championships in 2013. We have made a final agreement with Key Quest Ltd and a new payment plan has been established with Game Village and they involve write-downs of 123 KEUR. I am looking forward to working with Peter Åström to achieve positive operating results says Betting Promotion's CEO Mr Jonas Ornstein. INTERIM REPORT 2013 BETTING PROMOTION 2
Overview April June 2013 Net Turnover after trading fees for the second quarter amounted to 502 KEUR (842). Betting Turnover for the second quarter amounted to 127,865 KEUR (170,589). This means that the second quarter shows a gross margin of 0.39% (0.49). Trading Trading refers to the turnover which is traded directly on Betting Exchanges with very small margins. Net Turnover from Trading for the second quarter amounted to 354 KEUR (738). Betting Turnover for the second quarter amounted to 118,965 KEUR (163,594). This means that Trading for the second quarter shows a gross margin of 0.30% (0.45). The decrease in Betting Turnover was primarily due to fewer events and that no major championships took place during the quarter. 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 second quarter amounted to 148 KEUR (105). Betting Turnover for the second quarter amounted to 8,900 KEUR (6,955). This leads to a gross margin of 1.67% (1.50). Overview January June 2013 Net Turnover after trading fees for the first six months amounted to 776 KEUR (1,121). Betting Turnover amounted to 282,651 KEUR (345,768). This means that the period shows a gross margin of 0.27%(0.32). Trading Net Turnover from Trading in the first six months amounted to 494 KEUR (940). Betting Turnover amounted to 265,544 KEUR (334,240). This means that trading in the first six months shows a gross margin of 0.19% (0.28). The decrease in Betting Turnover was primarily due to fewer events and that no major championships took place during the period. The margin from the trading product has not reached our long term expectations. The business is such that it is not possible to draw conclusions on such a short period of six months. From analysis of seasonal variations over the year, historically approximately 60% of annual revenues for football is generated between the months of September and November. The company is continuosly working to opitimize and improve the gaming models and forecast that this product would be sustainable. INTERIM REPORT 2013 BETTING PROMOTION 3
