During the initial six months of 2023, 888 Holdings witnessed notable fiscal expansion, achieving £881.6 million in earnings. This signifies a considerable 165% surge in contrast to the corresponding timeframe in 2022 and exceeds the pre-COVID figures of 2019.
This exceptional outcome stemmed from a blend of elements, encompassing robust growth within its UK and Ireland territories and a 31% revenue escalation from its global endeavors. The firm’s gross earnings also experienced a remarkable leap, attaining £590 million compared to £215.9 million in the first half of 2022.
888 Holdings’ modified EBITDA for the initial six months of 2023 hit £155.6 million, indicating a consistent 9% rise from the preceding year. This favorable financial showing underscores the company’s effective tactics and its capacity to leverage advantageous market circumstances.
The online gambling firm, 888, has experienced a period of success recently. Their modified earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) reached £100,000 in the latter six months of 2020, signifying four consecutive half-year periods of expansion.
However, the truly noteworthy aspect is this: examining the entire year, their EBITDA for the initial six months of 2023 reached an impressive £155.6 million! This represents a substantial surge from the £5 million recorded during the corresponding period in 2022.
