”Strong growth in the active customer base”

“This quarter shows that Unibet is on the right track. While competition
continues, in especially the Scandinavian poker markets, we have seen
improvements this quarter where the non-sports betting offering delivers an 11%
yoy growth in gross winnings. Furthermore, our business model and strong Unibet
brand has proven its equity through the significant increase in number of active
customers with 20% yoy growth this quarter - now being at record levels.”
“The sports book gross winnings returned to a normal range during third quarter
and grew significantly compared to the previous quarter.”
“Operating expenditures excluding marketing have stabilized during the quarter
and the productivity improvement will continue. Marketing expenditures have
increased partly as new TV formats have been developed (e.g., Pokeritähti for
Finland).”
 “The legal climate seems to be under change with France meeting the European
Commission early November with regards to their reasoned opinion and the recent
voting at the Swedish Conservatives Convention for de-monopolisation and
re-regulation of the Swedish gambling market. We believe that Unibet will gain
from these potential changes going forward. On the back-drop of the recent
events, I take for granted that our CEO will be released by the French
authorities and be back to work end of this week. We have received significant
support and assurance from among others French authorities that the whole
situation will be solved”, says Ragnar Hellenius, acting CEO of Unibet.”
