Betbull Reports Loss
Second quarter results for the online casino booking company show after tax
losses. Surprisingly though, the results are still positive and show that the
company is gaining strength. When compared to the second quarter results from
2006, the company is definitely showing a steady increase in revenue – even if
they are still in the red, it’s less than previous years. Also, EBITDA figures
are up in 2007 compared to dismal figures in 2006. The European online casino
and betting markets are expanding in the recent year since the U.S. backed out
of the market, and more companies are heavily saturating the European market
with advertising.
The online casino company’s shift in focus from the U.S. market to the UK has
had a strong impact on the increase in European bettors and gamblers. This is a
positive trend for the more established online casinos bookies which are
benefiting from the increase in traffic. The second quarter results (ending June
30, 2007) for Betbull.com show an after tax loss of Euro 500,000. Six month
results for 2006 reported after tax losses of Euro 1.6 million.
The only really positive part of the second quarter report centered on the
online casino betting company’s EBITDA. This year’s report showed Euro 300,000
compared to losses reported in the same period of 2006. The company’s 2006
reported EBITDA was a Euro 900,000 loss. So to that end the online casinos
company did have one wholly positive part of the report.
Added to the positive aspects of the second quarter results for the online
casino betting company is the company’s cash position. At Euro 8.8 million, 2007
second results are Euro 800,000 more than last year’s results.
