Digital revenues are back on track

In line with expectations, l-f-l revenues (46 weeks to 14 May) increased 1%, with a 13% growth in digital offsetting a slight revenue decline in Grosvenor Casinos’ and Mecca’s venues. Earlier platform issues have been resolved and we expect digital revenue growth to accelerate, with the H118 introduction of a single wallet fuelling market share gains. The core business is highly cash generative, enabling progressive dividends, as well as potential M&A. Despite this, the stock trades at a calendar 2017e 6.5x EV/EBITDA, a 30% discount to peers. Our estimates are unchanged.
