AGM Trading Update

 

Very strong start to 2026 with continued momentum in regulated markets

Playtech plc (LSE: PTEC) is pleased to report strong trading for the period
from 1 January 2026 to 30 April 2026.

The stronger-than-expected performance in the Americas, as flagged in the
Company's FY25 trading update (in February 2026) and the full year results (in
March 2026), has continued. Playtech has achieved an excellent trading
performance for the first four months of 2026 driven by continued strength in
the US, Mexico and certain European markets as well as a solid performance in
Live, as returns on the Company's investments in recent years accelerate.

Mor Weizer, CEO, said:

"We have made an excellent start to 2026, with strong trading in the first
four months of the year reflecting continued momentum in regulated markets,
notably the Americas and certain European markets. Performance in the US, in
particular, has been encouraging, as returns on our investments over recent
years continue to accelerate and contribute meaningfully to profitability.

Meanwhile, our partnership with Caliente Interactive in Mexico continues to
perform strongly, with the upcoming World Cup representing a significant
opportunity to further strengthen Caliente's leadership position in the
market.

Despite the ongoing sector headwinds, the combination of Playtech's strong
expansion in regulated markets, diversified footprint, highly scalable
technology and deep partner relationships, leaves the Group well positioned to
capture the significant market opportunity ahead."
