Comments from David Gray, CEO of Angler Gaming

Q4 continued on the growth shown in 2017 with an all-time high in revenues and net profits. 2017 resulted in an EBIT of €4,481,862 (extraordinary revenues excluded) compared to the €1,149,098 made during 2016. Above all it’s encouraging that 2017 is the first year Angler Gaming is able to distribute a dividend of €3,351,000 back to its shareholders. 2018 has started well and we are enthusiastic how the new subsidiary PremierGaming Ltd will perform later in the year and strengthen Angler Gaming’s position in the market.
