Gaming VC Announces Results
The European
online slot machine and gaming provider Gaming VC Holdings SA,
announced today its semi-annual Interim Results ending June 30. They
found that their interim revenue and profits were where they expected
them to be at this time, and showed that the various marketing
campaigns had paid off for them. Their slot machines paid well, and
performed as expected throughout the half-year, and secondary losses
were anticipated.
They were showing
a gross profit of EUR 15.7 million, and an operating profit of EUR 6.8
million. Their profit before tax was EUR 6.7 million. They found that
their launch of a Russian language casino is doing well, and they
spent more money marketing poker than they had before. Although their
September revenue was below what they had expected it to do, overall
they feel they did fairly well.
Steve Barlow, the
Chief Executive of Gaming VC had this to say: “Performance in the
first half of 2006 was strong; however, as we anticipated the months
of July and August have showed some seasonal weakness. In addition,
due to unforeseen direct mail disruptions, combined with an extremely
hot summer and post World Cup weakness, our Casino business has also
been further impacted. Hopes for a September recovery have not yet
fully materialized and therefore we believe that the outcome of second
half is likely to be affected…In order to try and overcome many of
these issues, the Group has continued its investment into alternate
channels, games and territories, as well as strengthening the Board
and the management team. As in the past, the Group will look to return
excess capital to shareholders in the form of a dividend and the Board
will continue to work hard towards delivering shareholder value for
the full year."
