Enhanced Collaborative, a sports wagering affiliate marketing firm, witnessed substantial expansion in 2018. Their earnings hit €40.5 million (approximately $45.8 million), a 54% surge compared to the preceding year, aligning with the company’s forecasts.
This upswing was propelled by a robust final quarter, which observed revenue climb by 30% year-on-year to €12 million. While their earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) displayed robust growth before factoring in special items, reaching €1.6 million for the year and €530,000 for the final quarter, expenses tied to their initial public offering and other acquisitions led to a company-wide EBITA of €1.2 million for the year and €520,000 for the final quarter.
Despite the revenue increase, overall operational profit for 2018 contracted by 8% to €9 million, and profit after tax experienced a more pronounced decline of 27%, settling at €5.4 million.
Chief Executive Jesper Søgaard recognized the anticipated deceleration in natural revenue expansion during the fourth quarter, ascribing it to the inherent volatility in the sports wagering sector, particularly the scheduling and results of major athletic competitions. He highlighted the company’s successful acquisition of new clients and conveyed contentment with attaining their objectives for the year, affirming that Enhanced Collaborative is well-positioned for sustained prosperity in 2019.
