Tabcorp Holdings has released its FY 2022 report revealing that revenue for the full year ending on June 30th dropped by 4% to AU$2.37 billion (€1.64 billion).
According to the report released today, group EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) came to AU$382 million (€264.8 million). Meanwhile, FY 2022 Group Statutory Net Profit after Tax (NPAT) totaled AU$6.77 billion (€4.69 billion), a significant increase on the AU$269 million (€186.5 million) reported in FY 2021. Net debt for the period came to AU$20 million (€13.8 million).
Revenue from betting and media for the year dropped by 5% to AU$ 2.18 billion (€1.5 billion) while EBITDA for these verticals dropped by 26%. According to the presentation, these drops were a direct result of the retail closures in NSW and Victoria imposed due to the global pandemic in the first half of FY 2022. Wet weather was also a contributing factor in the second half of the period as poor conditions caused the cancellation of a record number of sporting events.
However, gaming revenues increased by 5% year-on-year to AU$193 million (€133.8 million) while EBITDA grew by 6% year-on-year to AU$75.2 million (€52.1 million).
Speaking in a presentation to investors, Tabcorp Managing Director and CEO Adam Rytenskild said:
“We’ve made an urgent start to transform Tabcorp into a competitive and growing business. We have a clear strategy and a focused ambition to grow our customer base. FY22 was a disrupted year with first half Covid lockdowns in our two largest markets, a record number of race meetings washed out and the priority challenges of a company pre-demerger.
We are seeing stabilisation in our digital market share, and our total focus is now on executing our strategy to transform and pursue growth. We feel the next results, reflecting this half, will be a good test for the improvements we are making.
None of this is possible without our people, and we are working quickly to change our culture and the way we work to be innovative, bold and unified to win.”
