Chairman’s Statement
Overview
2012 was yet another year of increased financial performance and returns for our shareholders.
There were two increases in dividends: 11€cents paid in May 2012 (May 2011: 10€cents) and 15€cents paid in November 2012 (November 2011: 10€cents).
The Group, along with William Hill plc, commenced its discussions with Sportingbet plc in the third quarter of 2012, and I am delighted to be able to say that this transaction completed a week ago, on 19 March 2013.
This transaction is transformational for the Group as it cements the Group’s reputation as a dealmaker in gaming markets and mitigates revenue sharing on the B2B transaction completed in November 2011 with Sportingbet and third party partner, East Pioneer Corporation BV (“EPC”). Indeed, the resulting revenue in the first two months of 2013 would have amounted to €6.4 million, an annual “run-rate” in excess of €38 million.
In 2013, owing to certain changes in accounting rules and the impact of the Sportingbet acquisition, the Group will be obliged to fully consolidate the results of EPC. With that in mind, the Group refers in these financial statements to a new measure, Pro-Forma Revenues (“PFR”) along with Net Gaming Revenue (“NGR”). PFR refers to the underlying level of sports wagers, sports NGR and gaming and other revenues enjoyed by EPC of which, up to 19 March 2013, the Group received a 25% share net of certain costs and adjustments. This is discussed in more detail in the Report of the Group Finance Director.
The Group disposed of Betaland during 2012 to an unrelated third party and the results of this are shown as discontinued activities.
I am also pleased to announce that shortly before these Financial Statements were approved, the Group reached an amicable settlement with Boss Media which has led to a credit to the income statement as an exceptional item.
Changing online gaming regulatory constraints continue to cast uncertainty, and the Board keeps a close eye on regulatory developments.
The management team of the Group is now focused on the key task of integrating and restructuring the Sportingbet Retained Business in the year ahead.
I am also pleased to report that in the 83 days to 24 March 2013, current trading for the existing GVC business excluding Sportingbet has got off to a strong start with average PRF per day reaching €348k, 27% higher than in the same period in 2012.
The Group will be holding its Annual General Meeting in the Isle of Man on Wednesday 8 May 2013 and issuing a trading update at that time.

Report of the Chief Executive
The main operational aims of the Group in 2012 were to:
- build revenues and profits from B2B operations;
- achieve a step-change in Latin American revenue growth;
- stabilise profits from CasinoClub; and
- position GVC as an acquirer of businesses within the sector.
I am pleased to say that the Group met all of these objectives.
In its first full year of operation, the B2B division produced a Clean EBITDA (being EBITDA before share option charges and exceptional items) of €7.3 million, Betboo’s revenues increased 17% to €10.3 million and the Clean EBITDA from CasinoClub remained level at €9.6 million on an increased contribution of €16.3 million (2011: €15.5 million).

Revenues in the markets in which the Group operates are cyclical and sportsbook customers are most active around the football season. Sports margin, being the amount retained after paying sports winnings, is also a key metric in the performance of Sports betting operators. The average PFR per day, along with the sports margin percentage and the aggregate NGR per quarter is shown below:

B2B
Aggregate revenues have, given a full year of operation, been extremely significant for the Group, amounting to €21.2 million in 2012 compared to just €6.1 million in 2011.
Average PFR per day has increased from €80k in Q4-2011 to €210k per day in Q4-2012.
The B2B division delivered a contribution margin of 72% with a cost base at €7.9 million reflecting a whole year of staff and office costs in supporting the revenue stream. At the end of the year, the headcount associated with this division was 70.
A feature of the B2B division is that it is more working capital intensive than our other businesses with just under €16 million of net current assets and €14 million of current liabilities.
B2C
CasinoClub
CasinoClub revenue at €28.1 million was marginally lower than 2011 (€29.4 million). €0.3 million of this reduction was associated with lower poker revenue, a trend experienced in many other gaming companies.
Contribution margin improved both in terms of percentage, 58% for 2012 (2011: 53%) and absolute terms, €16.3 million for 2012 (2011: €15.5 million).
At the end of the year, the headcount associated with this division was 56.
Betboo
Revenues grew by 17% to €10.3 million, up from €8.8 million in 2011. This was despite a lower sports hold at an aggregate of 8.5% (2011: 10.8%). The fact that wagers increased 81% from €24.4 million to €44.1 million is most encouraging.
There were additional investments in marketing and infrastructure to support this growth and accordingly the Clean EBITDA loss at €1.4 million (2011: loss €1.5 million), was contained well. The underlying headcount at the end of the year was 120. The Group has embarked on an internal restructuring which aims to make meaningful reductions in the Betboo cost base, and lead to an improvement in its financial performance.
Early in the year, the Board concluded that the markets in which Betaland operated were worsening and that the Group was not well placed to make any significant long-term returns from this business. By continuing Betaland in operation, the Group might have been burdened with some substantial closure costs. The disposal to an external third-party managed to contain these losses.
Future prospects
The most significant development in the Group’s history is the acquisition of Sportingbet plc which was completed on 19 March 2013 and which was approved by an overwhelming vote of GVC shareholders on 21 February 2013.
The transaction was completed with William Hill plc, the UK’s leading bookmaker. William Hill plc has now taken over Sportingbet’s Australian business (and the Sportingbet brand in Australia), certain freehold properties and, after six months, an option to acquire Sportingbet’s Spanish brand, “Miapuesta”.
The Group has acquired the Sportingbet brand in all other territories, along with a number of significant other brands. Additionally, the transaction allows the Group to enjoy substantially all of the revenue from the Superbahis business.
However, and as outlined in the Group’s prospectus, the Group has to undertake a substantial restructuring of Sportingbet to turnaround the historic cash burn suffered by that business, and does inherit its existing liabilities along with the assets. The Group will be discharging these debts along with the combined deal costs. I have every confidence that my Board colleagues and I can achieve the restructuring in the 12 months timeframe indicated in the prospectus.
This transaction marks a turning point in the Group’s history in that it reinforces the Group’s ability to close major and complex transactions to benefit its shareholders. The Group has a continued appetite to explore further opportunities if the Board believes them to be in the financial interest of shareholders.
The amicable settlement of legal disputes with Boss Media has also been achieved and allows the Group to focus its collective efforts on the tasks ahead as opposed to being distracted by historical issues.
I end my report by commenting about dividends and the Group’s dividend policy. The Group aims to pay not less than 75% of its net operating cashflow by way of dividends. In the last calendar year, the Group has paid 26€cents per share (2011: 20€cents per share) and since the calendar year-end has paid a further 7€cents to shareholders. Going forward, the Group intends to pay a dividend in November 2013 and thereafter quarterly.

Report of the Group Finance Director
This review is split into four sections:
- Income statement;
- Cashflow;
- Balance sheet; and
- Key financial issues for 2013.
1. Income statement
The income statement reflects Betaland as a discontinued activity and therefore the comparatives for 2011 are restated.
The complex deal with EPC and Superbahis results in a combination of revenues and costs normally being associated with gaming activities being compressed into a composite revenue figure, not easily expressed into the Group’s preferred KPI measure of “revenue per day”. For this reason, the Group describes the underlying activities in more conventional terms such as “sports wagers” and “sports margin” and “revenue per day” although the latter for B2B is referred to here as “pro-forma revenue per day” (PFR). This is in advance of the accounting treatment required following the acquisition of Sportingbet plc and the elimination of the revenue-share arrangements.
1.1 Proforma revenues (“PFR”)
Total revenues rose 116% to €104.2 million (2011: €48.3 million). The dominant reason for the increase was the full-year’s activity of the Superbahis customers.
Betboo’s revenues increased by 17% to €10.3 million from €8.8 million, whilst CasinoClub decreased by 4% to €28.1 million from €29.4 million.
1.2 Net Gaming Revenue (“NGR”)
NGR is Gross Gaming Revenues less customer bonuses, bad debts and chargebacks, and in the case of the agreement with EPC, is net of the certain allowable costs (such as payment processing, and software royalties and affiliate commissions associated with the Superbahis product), along with the revenue-share payable to Sportingbet.
Total NGR increased by €15.3 million (34%) to €59.6 million (2011: €44.3 million). €15 million of this increase was attributable to B2B; €1.5 million was attributable to Betboo, whilst CasinoClub revenue fell by €1.2 million.
1.3 Variable costs
These consist of payment processing fees, software royalties, and affiliate and other marketing arrangements.
1.4 Contribution
Contribution is NGR less variable costs and it increased by €14.5 million to €35.1 million. This increase is attributable between:
| €million | 2012 | 2011 | Increase |
| B2B | €15.2 | €2.8 | €12.4 |
| CasinoClub | €16.3 | €15.5 | €0.8 |
| Betboo | €3.6 | €2.3 | €1.3 |
| €35.1 | €20.6 | €14.5 |
The rise in B2B contribution reflected a full year’s activity, whilst for CasinoClub the increase was a result of tight cost control. Betboo’s increase was attributable to higher revenues. The relative contribution ratios were:
| 2012 | 2011 | ||
| B2B | 72% | 46% | |
| CasinoClub | 58% | 53% | |
| Betboo | 35% | 26% |
1.5 Other Operating costs
These costs, which are analysed in detail in Note 3 to the accounts are before “non-cash” items such as depreciation, amortisation and share option charges.
These costs increased to €19.6 million from €12.2 million in 2011. The principal components of this €7.4 million increase were as follows:
Increased staff costs
Overall average staff numbers grew by 30% in the year. |
€4.8 million |
| Increased professional fees | €0.2 million |
| Increased technology costs to support a more complicated business | €0.8 million |
| Increased travel and other costs, reflecting visits to additional offices and the cost of those offices themselves | €0.6 million |
| Increased third-party support providers for Betboo | €0.8 million |
| Foreign exchange differences arising on the translation and transaction of non-Euro denominated amounts | €0.2 million |
| €7.4 million |
1.6 Exceptional items
Following the settlement of the legal disputes with Boss Media, there was a €0.2 million credit to the income statement, being the release of accruals relating to the disputes.
1.7 Depreciation and Amortisation
This amounted to €2.5 million for the year (2011: €2.0 million), on additions of €1.1 million (2011: €1.6 million, excluding additional goodwill arising on the change in the Betboo earn-out arrangements).
1.8 Share option charges
These fell to €79k (2011: €440k) chiefly due to the lapse of 1.1 million of options following the disposal of Betaland.
1.9 Financial income/expense
This is an accounting, non-cash expense relating to the accounting treatment of the Betboo earn-out. The charge fell marginally to €2.2 million from €2.4 million in 2011.
1.10 Taxation
The charge to taxation rose to €0.5 million from €0.2 million largely due to retrospective taxes imposed on the Group’s operation in Tel-Aviv.
1.11 Discontinued activities
Betaland was discontinued in the year. The business made a negligible contribution in the months it was trading, and closure costs, including depreciation and net of tax allowances amounted to a total loss of €1.1 million (2011: profit, €0.5 million).
1.12 Profit after tax and earnings per share
Profit after taxation was €9.2 million (2011: €145k loss). Basic earnings per share from continuing operations amounted to 32.3€cents up from a loss of 2.0€cents per share in 2011.
2 CASHFLOW
The principal movements in the Group’s cash position are summarised below:
| 2012 €000’s |
2011 €000’s |
||
| Clean EBITDA | 15,452 | 8,382 | |
| Exceptional items | 208 | (3,919) | |
| Discontinued activities (after exceptional items) | (1,005) | 731 | |
| Adjusted EBITDA | 14,655 | 5,194 | |
| Add: | Proceeds of shares issued | 196 | 420 |
| Less: | Betboo earn-out payments | (2,863) | (671) |
| Acquisition of property plant and equipment and intangible assets |
(1,120) | (1,605) | |
| Net corporation taxes paid | (417) | (271) | |
| 10,451 | 3,067 | ||
| DIVIDENDS PAID | (8,214) | (6,225) | |
| Change in working capital | (5,458) | 6,460 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents brought forward | 9,853 | 6,551 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents carried forward | 6,632 | 9,853 | |
More funds were tied up in B2B payment processing during the year through a combination of activity volume and more complex processing arrangements entered into to provide customers with a greater choice of payment streams.
Dividends are declared on the basis of the Group’s cash position created by its net operating cashflows and an assessment of the working capital requirements of the group which can have some unpredictability, particularly in the working-capital intense B2B division.
3 BALANCE SHEET
Net assets, net of dividend payment have increased by 2.3% rising to €58.5 million from €57.2 million in 2011.
| €’000s | €’000s | ||
| Net assets at 1 January 2012 | 57,174 | ||
| Total non-current assets | |||
| Additions | 1,120 | ||
| Charge to depreciation and amortisation | (2,720) | ||
| Net change | (1,600) | ||
| Deferred consideration | |||
| Charge to income statement | (2,206) | ||
| Earn-out payments made | 2,863 | ||
| Net change | 657 | ||
| Taxation | |||
| Charge in income statement | 480 | ||
| Credit in discontinued activities | (63) | ||
| Net payments made | (417) | ||
| Net change | – | ||
| Increase in other current assets | 5,152 | ||
| Increase in other current liabilities | (2,912) | ||
| Net assets at 31 December 2012 | 58,471 | ||
The activity of the B2B division results in trade receivables settling on a longer time-frame compared to other businesses of the Group due to complexities with third party payment processor operators, although this is offset by an increase in credit terms extended by EPC.
4. KEY FINANCIAL ISSUES FOR 2013
The acquisition of Sportingbet plc will result in a number of matters which will impact the income and cash-flow statements of the enlarged group. Many of these have been trailed in the Group’s prospectus already but it is worth re-iterating them here.
The Group will now benefit from substantially all of the revenues from the Superbahis business, in the first two months of 2013 this would have amounted to an additional €6.4 million if the transaction had completed on 31 December 2012. Additionally, William Hill plc are making a capital contribution to the restructuring of Sportingbet and providing some loan facilities.
As disclosed in the prospectus, the Group will however, be incurring substantial deal fees and restructuring costs along with discharging the bank debts of Sportingbet and the incumbent losses of that group.
The foreign exchange exposures will also be significantly different and more complex. The reporting currency of the Group is, and will remain, the Euro. Sportingbet is believed to have substantial Euro inflows along with GBP outflows. The Group will be closely examining the currency exposures, and will be assessing what, if any, currency hedging programs should be implemented.
