COMMENTS FROM PER ERIKSSON, PRESIDENT AND CEO
"2015 was yet another fantastic year for NetEnt. Continued growing demand for
digital casino entertainment and for our products helped us reach new record
levels in terms of revenues, results and cash flow. The fourth quarter featured
many new signed and launched customers, and strong growth. Revenues increased by
34.0 percent to 323.1 MSEK and operating profit rose by 51.6 percent to 121.8
MSEK, compared to last year. The operating margin was 37.7 percent in the fourth
quarter, the highest level since the beginning of 2010. The number of game
transactions in our systems increased by 34.4 percent to 8.2 billion, which
means that in 2015, we handled a total of 27.7 billion transactions.

We continue to deliver on our long-term strategy for profitable growth with new
products, new customers and new markets. In the fourth quarter we signed 14 new
customers and launched 16 new customers, while we continued to see strong
underlying growth among our existing customers. The expansion in New Jersey
continues according to plan and during the quarter we launched Golden Nugget,
Caesars Interactive and Resorts Casino. We also signed Gamesys US for the brands
of Tropicana and VirginCasino in New Jersey, meaning that we have customer
agreements with all the major online operators in the state. UK and mobile games
continue to be particularly important growth drivers. Gamewin from the UK more
than doubled compared to the same quarter last year and the UK is now the second
largest market for us in terms of revenues. Gamewin from mobile games rose by
144 percent compared to the fourth quarter of last year and accounted for 30
percent of our total gamewin. During the year we shifted all our game
development to HTML5, which brings synergies and will support innovation and
quality in our game development going forward. We are currently developing a
mobile solution for Live Casino, a product segment that looks very interesting
going forward.

Customer satisfaction is the foundation for our long-term growth and our
approach is to have a business partner mindset for shared success. In our annual
customer survey, 99 percent of all our customers expressed that NetEnt has a top
reputation in the industry. Innovation is a key word in everything we do and in
November we won the prestigious prize “Game of the Year” at the EGR Operator
Awards with Spiñata Grande, a creative and thrilling game inspired by the
colorful Mexican concept called piñata. In total, we won seven industry awards
in 2015, in various categories for innovation and quality. In November, a truly
synced multichannel release took place with Koi Princess, a game jointly
developed with William Hill that was also released on gaming machines in betting
shops across the UK.

Dedicated and talented employees are a key success factor for NetEnt and we
continued to recruit new competence in the fourth quarter. Our new Chief
Development Officer Åsa Bredin joined the organization in October, coming from
previous senior positions at King and Betsson. NetEnt keeps growing
internationally and we are opening a new game development studio in Polen. In
November we also signed a new rental agreement for a move to new attractive
offices in central Stockholm. The move will take place at the end of 2016 and
will strengthen our creative and fast-growing organization.

There is a clear trend – people spend more and more time and money online,
consuming digital entertainment including online casino games. The global online
gaming market is supported by ongoing migration from land-based gaming. We will
continue to focus on premium digital casino solutions, solutions that enable
success for our customers. We see good conditions for continued strong growth in
2016 supported by growing market shares in the UK, a large pipeline of signed
customers yet to be launched, mobile growth and the expansion in North America."
