Rating:83Outperform
Price Target:
kr804.00
▲(23.16% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:04/23/26
The score is driven primarily by exceptional profitability, a very strong balance sheet, and solid cash conversion, supported by attractive valuation (low P/E and high yield). Technicals are moderately bullish (above key short/intermediate averages and positive MACD), but longer-term trend resistance (below the 200-day) and earnings-call risks—Europe regulatory headwinds, legal/M&A uncertainty, and the dividend pause—temper the overall rating.
Positive Factors
Exceptional Profitability
Sustained ~50% net margins and high EBIT/EBITDA reflect a highly scalable, low-variable-cost model (live and RNG content). High margins underpin durable cash generation, funding reinvestment in studios and product development while insulating returns during revenue slowdowns.
Negative Factors
Revenue Growth Slowdown
A sharp TTM revenue contraction and recent YoY declines indicate demand/placement pressures and slower market expansion. Even with strong margins, persistent top-line weakness can erode absolute cash flow, limit reinvestment, and challenge long-term growth durability.

Evolution Gaming Group AB Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 22, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 17, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a generally positive operational and financial picture driven by strong margins, excellent cash generation, RNG momentum and record revenues in North America and Latin America, supported by active studio expansion and a rich product roadmap. Material headwinds persist in Europe from regulatory volatility and channelization declines, alongside elevated receivables and ongoing legal/M&A uncertainty. On balance, the positive operational momentum and strong balance sheet outweigh the regional and legal challenges, but management remains cautious on Europe and legal timelines.Positive Updates
Strong Revenue and Margin
Net revenues of EUR 513 million (down 1.5% year‑on‑year, practically flat quarter‑on‑quarter) and EBITDA of EUR 335.3 million with a high EBITDA margin of 65.4%.
Negative Updates
Europe Performance Weakness
Europe underperformed: Live revenue declined 3.1% year‑on‑year; management attributes weakness to regulatory volatility, subjective enforcement, and falling channelization which has materially hurt player activity in several European markets.

Company Guidance
Guidance from the call was that Evolution expects to maintain strong profitability while prioritizing investment and growth in North America and Latin America: Q1 reported net revenues of EUR 513m (‑1.5% YoY), EBITDA EUR 335.3m (margin 65.4%), profit EUR 251.9m and EPS €1.26, with operating cash flow after investments of EUR 311m, LTM cash conversion ~81%, cash EUR 1.2bn and equity EUR 4.3bn; operating expenses were EUR 220m (+1.3% YoY, +2.5% QoQ) with personnel up 4% QoQ, CapEx EUR 34.6m, headcount +2.9% YoY / +1.7% QoQ, live revenues down 3.1% YoY while RNG grew 8.1% YoY, and North America grew ~21% YoY in USD (vs 19% in Q4). Management reiterated a cautious stance on further European expansion (channelization and regulatory headwinds), said the bulk of new product releases are planned for H2 2026 (including more Monopoly titles and SciPlay) to help pull players back, will continue to optimize distribution and cost mix through 2026, confirmed the Board has proposed no dividend for 2025 and will communicate capital allocation for 2026 later, and noted the Galaxy Gaming acquisition/approval process is ongoing with a July 17 deadline.Evolution Gaming Group AB Financial Statement Overview
