Bet-at-home announces revenue growth despite Austrian tax charge

Bet-at-home AG has announced that it bolstered its commercial status and its revenue, in spite of the €11.5 million Austrian tax burden that was imposed on it. The Frankfurt Xetra-listed operator published its Q3 2019 trading statement and reported a 2.5% year-to-date increase in its betting and gaming revenues, which amount to €107 million.

It also highlighted the fact that it was able to maintain its year-to-date betting capacity at €2.4 billion, although it had to compete against some very tough 2018 comparatives that featured the FIFA 2018 World Cup trading.

The well-known bookmaker stressed that its product portfolio has been developed due to the advertising campaigns generated by its ‘core market’ (which consists of  Germany and Poland), that boosted player activity. It is also worth noting that despite this increased advertising activity, Bet-at-home has managed to maintain its year-on-year marketing expenses at €29 million; which helped it increase its local player base to 5.2 million.

During the Q3 2019 trading period, Bet-at-home launched its latest advertising campaigns that helped it post a 13% YTD EBITDA boost to €27 million. After closing Q3 trading, its administration declared a YTD EBIT tracking at €25.6 million.

Despite the €11.5 million ‘Austrian subsidiary’ tax claim that its administration had to pay and led the company to impute €19.5 million to income taxes and eventually declare YTD profits of €5.8 million; it managed to achieve a top line performance.

It is also worth mentioning that Bet-at-home’s administration sustains its guidance generating revenues for 2019 between €130 to €143 million, together with an EBITDA target of €29-33 million.

Established back in 1999, mainly as a reliable bookmaker for German-speaking bettors. However, since 2009 when they became part of the BetClic group, they have switched to a worldwide policy. Their main advantages are stability and credibility and you can be sure that they will be there for you, either by some kind of assistance or a profitable loyalty bonus. Considering that they can not offer the best odds or the best bonuses, they’ve focused on offering a vast number of betting choices, as well as trying to include less popular sports than football. Their promotion policy is very beneficial too, as they offer different kinds of bonuses compared to traditional ones. Should they increase their payout, they will surely climb to the very top.
