Margins in the tournament were significantly higher in July than in June. If the margins had been consistent across the tournament, then Gross winnings revenue for the second quarter would have been around GBP 3 million higher.” “Gross winnings revenue in the Nordic region grew by 48 per cent (21 per cent organic in constant currency), while Western Europe grew by over 71 per cent (37 per cent organic in constant currency). Of the Gross winnings revenue 35 per cent was from locally regulated markets.” “Gross winnings revenues from the mobile channel more than doubled in GBP (74 per cent organic growth in constant currency) and accounted for 63 per cent of the total Gross winnings revenue in the second quarter.” “As in previous tournament years, we invested heavily in marketing both for new customer acquisition and reactivation of existing customers. While this has a short term effect in reducing profits, we are confident that this as proven previously will drive sustained growth in Gross winnings revenue and profits. For the quarter, marketing was 30 per cent of Gross winnings revenue, but for the full year we still expect it to average a few percentage points below 30 per cent.” “In the period from 1 to 24 July 2016, average daily Gross winnings revenue in GBP has more than doubled compared to the same period in 2015. Adjusting for the unusually high margin on the final stages of the Euros, the impact of exchange rate changes and acquisitions, the organic constant currency growth is close to 50 per cent,” says Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Unibet Group.

Unibet Group plc Interim report January – June 2016 (unaudited) 3 Regulation of online gaming in the Netherlands After a plenary debate, held in two parts on 23 and 30 June, the House of Representatives of the Dutch parliament voted in favour of adopting the new Online Gaming Bill in the Netherlands. As expected, the House of Representatives adopted the amendment to increase the proposed online gaming tax from 20 to 29 per cent, equal to the rate land-based operators pay. The Bill as adopted does leave the option open to evaluate the effect of the tax rate on channelisation. The next step in the process is the publication of secondary legislation for public consultation and for the Bill to go to the Senate this autumn. iGame Group earn-out The iGame Group continued to perform strongly during the second quarter 2016 and the result of the final earn-out period is expected to be around the maximum level. This is subject to final review in accordance with the purchase agreement and payment is due by 30 September 2016.
