A prominent online wagering and gaming corporation, 888 Holdings, has issued a trading statement and financial outcomes for the year concluding February 28, 2022.

The firm declared overall earnings of £690 million (roughly $8.4 billion USD) for the 12-month span, with modified EBITDA reaching £109 million. These statistics encompass 52 weeks of William Hill’s global operations (procured by 888), which yielded £1.36 billion in earnings and £238 million in modified EBITDA up to February 22, 2022.

888 recognized both favorable and unfavorable influences on its fiscal performance. While the resumption of physical venues and robust results in numerous regulated territories contributed positively, these were somewhat counteracted by the transient cessation of activities in the Netherlands and the enactment of heightened responsible gaming protocols within the UK’s online market.

Anticipating the future, the corporation projects earnings for the six months concluding June 2022 to fall within the range of £330 million to £335 million. This forecast aligns with projections, with expansion in specific European territories offsetting the effects of supplementary responsible gaming measures and the temporary departure from the Dutch market.

For the 26 weeks concluding June 28, 2022, William Hill’s earnings are anticipated to be between £620 million and £630 million. This mirrors the resurgence of the brick-and-mortar business, yet it is partially counterbalanced by the consequences of reinforced responsible gaming protocols within the UK’s online sector and modifications in certain international online markets, including the provisional exit from the Netherlands.

In a distinct declaration, 888 also affirmed its objective to secure £1 billion through an equity issuance via 888 Acquisitions Limited and 888 Acquisitions LLC.

The firm holds around $2 billion in senior secured loans. This obligation consists of a term loan B denominated in US currency maturing in 2028, along with euro-denominated senior secured notes with fixed and floating rates, payable in 2027 and 2028, correspondingly.
