Lottomatica’s revenue rose by 13 per cent in H1 as it integrates SKS365

Italy.- The Italian gaming giant Lottomatica has reaffirmed its plans to seek more acquisitions to drive further expansion following a strong financial performance in the first half of 2025. Revenue for the six months ending 30 June reached €1.12bn, marking a 13 per cent increase year-on-year.

Adjusted EBITDA was up by a third at €422m while net profit attributable to Lottomatica jumped 215 per cent to €64.8m. Online operations led the charge, generating €463m in revenue, a rise of 37 per cent from H1 last year.

Sports betting revenue climbed 31 per cent to €279m, largely fueled by the ongoing integration of its SKS365 acquisition, which was completed in April of last year and has since been rebranded as PWO. Gaming hall revenue edged up 2 per cent to €386m, with most of the growth in Q2.

The company processed 21.8bn bets in total, a 21 per cent. Online wagers were up by 34 per cent.

Chairman and CEO Guglielmo Angelozzi said the company was now eyeing further growth in the second half of the year, potentially through new acquisitions. “We have started our buyback programme, which will continue to compete with M&A and other capital allocation opportunities, with a view to maximise shareholder returns,” he said.

Lottomatica’s acquisition of SKS365 for €639m in April 2024 has been instrumental in boosting its market position. It’s also absorbed BetFlag. Lottomatica now commands an estimated 30.5 per cent share of Italy’s online gambling market. It’s confirmed its full-year guidance, projecting revenue between €2.32 and €2.37bn and adjusted EBITDA ranging from €840 to €870.6m.
