Commenting on the results, Kenneth Alexander, Chief Executive of GVC Holdings PLC, said:
“As previously announced, the Group is in discussions with Sportingbet PLC to acquire their Turkish language sportbook and gaming offering. In light of these discussions it would be inappropriate for GVC to comment on this potential transaction until it is either put to shareholders for their approval, or talks with Sportingbet cease.
“The Group’s prospects are directly affected by the regulatory framework in the markets in which we operate and we continue to monitor regulatory developments closely. Trading remains encouraging against a backdrop of challenging economic conditions and we remain cautiously optimistic about our prospects for the rest of the year.”
