Speaker #3: But unfortunately this time it looks a bit worse . We were , as you remember , very cautiously optimistic about the remainder of the year in the last report .

Martin Carlesund: We were, as you remember, very cautiously optimistic about the remainder of the year in the last report, and there is really nothing that doesn't say that Q4 could be better. However, we are experiencing a lot of volatility, which makes the near-term performance hard to predict. At this stage, we want to be realistic and keep expectations low. What are the main reasons behind the Asian development? First is the cybercrime activity that continues to hurt us. Every day and around the clock, we do everything that we can to mitigate the issues. However, some measures do impact also the end users, and this is what makes it tricky. At a point in time within the quarter, we did too much, causing loss in revenue. On the other hand, if we do too little, we lose to the pirates.

Speaker #3: Towards the end of the quarter, we found a better balance, but it is still volatile, and we are implementing constant security updates to our core to increase protection.

Martin Carlesund: Towards the end of the quarter, we found a better balance, but it's still volatile, and we do constant security updates to our core to increase protection. We will continue to adapt the changes that are working and to fine-tune the methods that are working well and explore completely new actions as well. I ask for continued patience on this, but rest assured that it's a top priority. Additionally, in Asia, the newly regulated market, Philippines, is volatile, which often is the case when operators and players adapt to the new framework. There are also other markets, such as India, that show signs of moving towards regulation, which could create a higher level of uncertainty than before. To clarify, with showing signs, I mean that the current heated debate and quick and not widely acknowledged political decisions is something that we often see in the very beginning of potential regulation.

Speaker #3: And to clarify , we're showing signs . I mean , that the current heated debate and quick and not widely acknowledged political decisions is something that we often see in the very beginning of potential regulation over a longer period of time .

Martin Carlesund: To clarify, with showing signs, I mean that the current heated debate and quick and not widely acknowledged political decisions is something that we often see in the very beginning of potential regulation. Over a longer period of time, it will likely not be noticeable, but on a quarterly basis, it will cause variations like the one we see now. With the context of Asia in mind, let's look at the overall numbers. Net revenue came in at EUR 507.1 million, corresponding to year-on-year decline of 2.4%. EBITDA amounted to EUR 336.9 million, and the EBITDA margin came in at 66.4%, which is within the range of our full year margin target of 66% to 68%.

What stands out as positive in the quarter is the performance in Europe, which is back to growth quarter on quarter compared to the first half of the year. We saw the full effects of our protective ring-fencing measures in the second quarter, and this provided a new foundation for growth.

We saw the full effects of protective ring-fencing measures in Q2, and this provided a new foundation for growth. Worth mentioning is also that we got recognition for our ring-fencing from one of the largest regulators in Europe, where we were pointed out as one of the best B2B suppliers. I'm happy with the progress in Europe in this quarter. North America also performed decently, and Latin America is stronger than what we had seen earlier this year. Our Live revenue declined by 3.4% to EUR 431.7 million, while RNG increased by 4.2% to EUR 75.5 million.

On the game side, our highly anticipated Ice Fishing title has finally seen the light, and reception has been great across our market.

The slowdown is to some extent reflected in the revenue. We don't hire unless we grow, but looking at recruitment pace within a full year, there are sometimes fluctuations based on temporarily slower or higher pace in recruitment.

We have talked a lot about ring-fencing this year, and you probably remember that the effects on revenues were a bit larger than we had anticipated.

It is a price that we have to pay to stay ahead of the regulatory curve. With that said, we have a new base to grow from, and despite the summer without any major sports event, development has been overall good. I should also mention the dialogue with the UK Gambling Commission, which continues, and we are yet to receive the conclusion of its review. What I believe is important to note is that we have been very cooperative and also responsive to various requirements that the Gambling Commission has put upon us.

Speaker #3: And you probably remember that the effects on revenues were a bit larger than we had anticipated. It is a price that we have to pay to stay ahead of the regulatory curve.

Speaker #3: But with that said , we have a new base to grow from . And despite the summer without any major sports event , development has been overall good .

What I believe is important to note is that we have been very cooperative and also responsive to various requirements that the Gaming Commission has put upon us. We still have to wait for the outcome, but I truly believe that we have the most sophisticated compliance framework among all providers targeting the UK. Moving on to Asia, where I have already provided the context for the bad development and a revenue decline of 9.6% quarter on quarter, even though the market in the Philippines has been volatile, our newly opened studio has been off to a great start. A while ago, there was some media noise on our studio partner losing its B2C license, but it has nothing to do with us or our studio.

A while ago, there were some media noise on our studio partner losing its B2C license, but it has nothing to do with us or our studio. Everything is working as it should. We did, however, suffer some building damage in the 6.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Cebu in the beginning of October.

Martin Carlesund: Everything is working as it should. We did, however, suffer some building damage in the 6.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Cebu in the beginning of October, but to our great relief, no employee was hurt, and operations continued, even though that is secondary when people's lives are on the line. Next slide, please. On the contrary, from Asia, North America is, thanks to its regulation, more predictable and stable. Quarter-on-quarter growth is modest, but on the positive side, the operators continue to invest heavily in Live Casino solutions and environments. Year-on-year growth is 14.5%. To meet the demand, we have launched our second live studio brand, Azoogie, just around the end of the quarter, and we are planning to open a second studio in Michigan during the first half of 2026. I would also like to highlight that we, after the quarter, have launched Crazy Time in Connecticut.

Martin Carlesund: Great, very, very good. Also, when I'm speaking of North America, I would like to mention something on sweepstakes, as it has been a topic of discussion during the quarter. Sweepstakes is a popular product in the U.S., and we offer it in states where it's not prohibited or in any way under regulatory scrutiny. Sweepstakes is a very small part of our total revenue, but we believe it has some potential, and as you know, as the market leader, we want to offer a great variety of content. In the quarter, a city attorney in Los Angeles made a personal interpretation of the California law, and as our strategy is that we don't offer sweepstakes where there are regulatory uncertainties, we pull it from the market. Simple as that. I'm also quite certain that you will ask us about the completion of the Galaxy Gaming acquisition.

Speaker #3: Also , when speaking of North America , I would like to mention something on sweepstakes as it has been a topic of discussion during the quarter .

Speaker #3: We pulled it from the market, simple as that. I'm also quite certain that you will ask us about the completion of the Galaxy Gaming acquisition.

Speaker #3: We are still awaiting some regulatory approvals , but believe me , we we will be able . But we believe we will be able to close the transaction before year end .

Martin Carlesund: We are still awaiting some regulatory approvals, but believe me, we will be able to close the transaction before year-end. However, it's a regulatory process. It's not completely in our hands. Moving on to Latin America, where growth is picking up with 6.4% year-on-year and 5.9% quarter-on-quarter. The new regulation in Brazil seems to be done with its initial teething problems, and operators and players are becoming more active. Our new studio in São Paulo, Brazil, has developed nicely during the quarter and will expand as we move forward. Now, I will hand over to Joakim for a closer look at our financials. Next slide, please.

Speaker #3: Next slide please . Great . Thank you Martin , and good morning . As usual . I will now zoom in on some of the financial highlights .

Joakim Andersson: Great. Thank you, Martin. Good morning. As usual, I will now zoom in on some of the financial highlights this quarter. Let's start on slide seven, where we have the financial development of the last 14 Qs. For the ones that are following us and are used to our format, you will note that we have added the revenue split by regulated and unregulated on this slide. Let's start there. As you can see on the line, regulated revenue is up to 46% of the total this quarter. Even if this will fluctuate between quarters as revenue mix shifts, the longer trend is clear. The portion of regulated revenue will continue to go up. To the left, as mentioned by Martin earlier, we had net revenue of EUR 507.1 million this quarter and EBITDA margin of 66.4%.

Speaker #3: This quarter . Let's start on slide seven where we have the financial development of the last 14 quarters . For the ones that are following us and are used , our format , you will note that we have added the revenue split by regulated and unregulated on this slide .

Speaker #3: Let's start there . As you can see on the line regulated revenue is up to 46% of the total this quarter . And even if this will fluctuate between quarters as revenue mix shifts , the longer trend is clear .

Speaker #3: The portion of regulated revenue will continue to go up to the left. As mentioned by Martin earlier, we had net revenue of $507.1 million.

Speaker #3: This quarter and EBITDA margin of 66.4% . What is not shown on this graph is that we now , year to date , are at 66.0% in EBITDA margin , making it within the expected range of 66 to 68% for the full year .

Joakim Andersson: What is not shown on this graph is that we now, year to date, are at 66.0% in EBITDA margin, making it within the expected range of 66% to 68% for the full year. As you can see from the chart, our growth has clearly tapered off and even become negative, and this is not something we are happy about, and we can assure you that we are doing whatever we can to reverse that trend. Let's go to the next slide. Here we have our profit and loss statements. A lot of numbers on this slide, so I have highlighted the key takeaways, and I will comment on them one by one. Firstly, again, we had net revenues of $507.1 million, which is down 2.4% year-on-year and down by 3.3% quarter on quarter.

Joakim Andersson: What is not shown on this graph is that we now year-to-date are at 66.0% in EBITDA margin, making it within the expected range of 66% to 68% for the full year.

Speaker #3: Let's go to the next slide. And here we have our profit and loss statement. A lot of numbers on this slide.

Speaker #3: So I have highlighted the key takeaways . And I will comment on them one by one . So firstly again we had net revenues of 507.1 million which is down 2.4% year on year and down by 3.3% quarter on quarter .

Speaker #3: Secondly , total operating expenses amounted to 210.5 million , which is 5% higher than last , higher than Q3 last year . But more importantly , down 3.4% from last quarter , which is good evidence of our efforts .

Joakim Andersson: Secondly, total operating expenses amounted to $210.5 million, which is 5% higher than Q3 last year, but more importantly, down 3.4% from last quarter, which is good evidence of our efforts adjusting the cost base to the weaker revenue momentum. We are not only trying to work smarter and be more efficient, optimizing how we use our studios and tables, but we are also taking some broad-based cost-cutting measures, which would continue for the rest of the year and into 2026. Thirdly, our operating profits amounted to $296.6 million in the third quarter, and finally, EPS after dilution amounted to $1.25. To be noted, the profit for 2024 includes $59.7 million of other operating revenue related to reversal of an earnout liability. To make it comparable with this year, you should probably adjust for that.

Speaker #3: Adjusting the cost base to the weaker revenue momentum , we are not only trying to work smarter and be more efficient , optimizing how we use our studios and tables , but we are also taking some broad based cost cutting measures , which will continue for the rest of the year and into 2026 .

Speaker #3: Thirdly, our operating profit amounted to $296.6 million in the third quarter. And finally, EPS after dilution amounted to 1.25, to be noted.

Speaker #3: The profit for 2024 includes $59.7 million of other operating revenue related to the reversal of an earnout liability. So, to make it comparable with the prior year, you should probably adjust for that.

Joakim Andersson: To make it comparable with this year, you should probably adjust for that. Let's move on to the next slide, where I'm going to show you the development of our cash flow. First, to the right, our capital expenditures. As can be seen in the graph, we are down quarter-on-quarter. The total CapEx relating to tangible and intangible assets of EUR 29.8 million. With that, we are likely going to be slightly lower than the full-year forecast of EUR 140 million that we announced in the beginning of the year. If we look left, our operating cash flow after investments amounted to EUR 342.1 million in the quarter, which corresponds to cash conversion of 83%. With that, we are back on track after a seasonally and unusually weak Q2.

First, to the right, our capital expenditures, and as can be seen in the graph, we are down quarter on quarter with a total CapEx relating to tangible and intangible assets of €29.8 million. With that, we are likely going to be slightly lower than the full year forecast of €140 million that we announced in the beginning of the year. If we then look left, our operating cash flow after investments amounted to €342.1 million in the quarter, which corresponds to a cash conversion of 83%. With that, we are back on track after a seasonally and unusually weak second quarter.

Speaker #3: And as can be seen in the graph , we are down to the total CapEx relating to tangible and intangible assets of 29.8 million , with that , we are likely going to be slightly lower than the full year forecast of 140 million that we announced in the beginning of the year .

Speaker #3: If we then look left, our operating cash flow after investments amounted to $342.1 million in the quarter, which corresponds to a cash conversion of 83%.

Speaker #3: With that, we are back on track after a seasonally and unusually weak second quarter. The change in working capital was positive $35.2 million.

Joakim Andersson: The change in working capital was positive €35.2 million this quarter, meaning a swing back from the weaker number last quarter, which is good and in line with our expectations. Finally, for me, some brief comments on our financial position on the next page. On this page, you will find our summary of the balance sheet for the third quarter compared to what it looked like at the end of last year. The main items that I usually highlight, which are all signs of our financial strength, are the value of the bond portfolio of €103.2 million, our total cash balance that amounted to €656.4 million, and the equity position at the end of the quarter, which amounted to €3.8 billion.

Martin Carlesund: Thank you, Joakim. Let's summarize the quarter and then move to the Q&A. Performance in Asia was bad and left a negative impact on the group revenues as a total. With that said, the rest of the world is doing decent to good, and we are determined to get Asia back on track. I understand that it causes some frustration, especially since we actually saw some signs of improvement in Q2, and believe me, I'm frustrated too. I can only repeat that it requires patience while being a top priority. I'm happy to see that the margin has improved compared to the first half of the year, and we don't see any reason why, for it not to stay within our target range of 66% to 68% for the remainder of the year.

Martin Carlesund: Thank you, Joakim. Let's summarize the quarter and then move to the Q&A. Performance in Asia was bad and left a negative impact on the group revenues as a total.

Speaker #3: I understand that it causes some frustration, especially since we actually saw some signs of improvement in the second quarter. And believe me, I'm frustrated too. I can only repeat that it requires patience while being a top priority.

Speaker #3: I'm happy to see that the margin has improved compared to the first half of the year , and we don't see any reason why for it not to stay within our target range of 66 to 68% for the remainder of the year , cost efficiency is something that I feel strongly about as it's part of our roots as an entrepreneurial company .

Martin Carlesund: Cost efficiency is something that I feel strongly about as it's part of our roots as an entrepreneurial company. We never spend a pound or penny unless it provides value to the business in terms of growth. As this presentation is about the financial performance in Q3, we don't have a separate slide on the movement in the ongoing defamation litigation in the US. We have for 4 years finally received information on who was behind the false report. This process will continue in court. I will not make any comments about its future development. What I can say is that we believe in fair competition where innovation and excellent operations count. When a competitor decides not to play by these rules, it hurts not only us, but the industry as a whole.

Speaker #4: Hi Martin and Joachim , my first question is on the if we could discuss the situation just just a little bit more . I think you mentioned it remains volatile and you of course , the ambition is to get it back on track .

Martin Arnell: Hi, Martin and Joakim. My first question is on if we could discuss the Asia situation just a little bit more. I think you mentioned it remains volatile, and you, of course, the ambition is to get it back on track. My question would be, you know, are there any signs that it has bottomed out? The counter measurements, that's in your control, right? If you have been too stringent, you can adapt. The regulatory situation and the effect from that is more, is not in your hands. Is that the correct interpretation?

Martin Arnell: Hi, Martin and Joakim. My first question is on if we could discuss the Asia situation just a little bit more. I think you mentioned it remains volatile, and you, of course, the ambition is to get it back on track. My question would be, you know, are there any signs that it has bottomed out?

The countermeasurements, that's in your control, right? If you have been too stringent, you can adapt, but the regulatory situation and the effects from that is not in your hands. Is that the correct interpretation?

Speaker #4: And my question would be , you know , are there any signs that it has bottomed out ? Because the counter that's in your control , right .

Speaker #4: So if you have been too stringent , you can adapt . But the regulatory situation and the effect from that is more is not in your hands .

Speaker #4: Is that correct interpretation ?

Speaker #3: We are doing everything we can with the countermeasures . And and as I said , we we did a little bit too much and we have to do a little bit less and we'll find the balance .

Martin Carlesund: We are doing everything we can with the countermeasures. As I said, we did a little bit too much, we have to do a little bit less, we find the balance. I think that we are on to it, we're doing the right things. It's also natural that there will be a situation where you do a little bit too much because otherwise you won't know where the borders are. When it comes to the dynamic and regulatory situation in the region, there's a lot of countries, right now, there's volatility in some of the regional, some of the countries, that affects us as well. I can't predict much more than that.

Martin Carlesund: That's a very good question. Yes, I believe that players in some markets find their way back and want to play regulated and good content, so that's probably part of it. We see good development in total. I'm actually happy with the development in Europe.

Martin Carlesund: That's a very good question. Yes, I believe that players in some markets find their way back and want to play regulated and good content, so that's probably part of it. We see good development in total. I'm actually happy with the development in Europe.

Speaker #3: If there is no, it's not. If I could throw more money at the problem and I would get this as a solution, I would do that.

Martin Carlesund: If I could throw more money at the problem and I would get this quicker solution, I would do that. I don't see that it's a money issue. We invest, and we put the resources, the top-notch resources in the world to do whatever we can. There is actually...

Do you expect any material change in the growth rate into next year? The second is on Asia. It sounds like it's a reasonable conclusion from your comments around countermeasures, Martin. You may never be able to fully deal with these issues. Put another way, should we be rebasing fundamentally our Asia revenue and growth expectations, or on what sort of timeline do you have optimism over market growth and market share gains in Asia?

We talk to regulators and if there would be a letter or someone, a regulator or an authority stating, Don't do it here, we would immediately go away. US have a history of riverboats that from the beginning traveled on the river, then went on the shore, and they had to have the engine running, then they didn't have to have, then it was on pillar.

Martin Carlesund: We can't speculate on that. We just see that it's affecting us to a certain level right now.

Speaker #3: North America , I think that you asked about sweepstakes and sweepstakes is a we provide to the sweepstakes market , where there are no regulatory problems or any legal problems , and we're very lenient .

Martin Carlesund: North America, I think that you asked about sweepstakes, and sweepstakes is a we provide to the sweepstakes market where there are no regulatory problems or any legal problems, and we're very lenient. We talk to regulators, and if there would be a letter or someone, a regulator or an authority stating, "Don't do it here," we would immediately go away. The U.S. has a history of river boats that from the beginning traveled on the river, then went only to the shore, and they had to have the engine running, and then they didn't have to have them, and then it was on paper. These types of movements have been prediction gaming could be one of these, but these types of movements have been there, and we want to supply to them as long as there is no regulatory or authority saying no. We did that.

Speaker #3: We talk to regulators, and if there were a lesser or some regulator or authority stating, "Don’t do it here," we would immediately go away.

Speaker #3: You must have a history of riverboats that from the beginning traveled on the river , then went to only ashore , and they had to have the engine running .

Speaker #3: And then they didn't have that . And then it was on pillar . These type of movements have been prediction . Gaming could be one of these , but these type of movements have been there .

Martin Carlesund: These type of movements have been. Prediction gaming could be one of these. These type of movements have been there, and we want to supply to them as long as there is no regulatory or authority saying no. We did that. In the case of California, it's a state attorney in Los Angeles that made a personal lawsuit, that's okay. Immediately when that happened, we withdraw from that. If that's what you want, we withdraw from that. That's the sweepstakes situation. Capital allocation, I don't wanna comment on that. It's in the end of the day an AGM decision and a board proposal. We are acting on the capital allocation that we have.

Martin Carlesund: These type of movements have been. Prediction gaming could be one of these.

We are acting on the capital allocation that we have.

Speaker #3: And we want to supply to them as long as there is no regulatory authorities say no . So so we did that in the case of California , it's a state attorney in Los Angeles that made a personal lawsuit and that that's okay .

Martin Carlesund: In the case of California, it's a state attorney in Los Angeles that made a personal lawsuit, and that's okay. Immediately, when that happened, we withdrew from that so that we, okay, if that's what you want, then we withdrew from that. That's the sweepstakes situation. Capital allocation, I don't want to comment on that. It's, in the end of the day, an EGM decision and a board proposal. We are acting on the capital allocation that we have, and you also have the capital policy that we published last year, and I'm sure that the board will continue following that.

Speaker #3: And immediately , we're not happened . We withdraw from that so that we okay . If that's what you want , then then we will go from that .

Speaker #3: So that's the sweepstakes situation . Capital allocation I , I don't want to comment on that . It's a in the end of the day , an MGM decision .

Speaker #3: And and a board proposal . We are acting on , on the the capital allocation that we have . And you also have the capital policy and that we published last year .

Martin Carlesund: You also have the capital policy that we published last year, and I'm sure that the board will continue following that.

Do you see any risk of spreading these cyber attacks to your other markets like Latin America, where black market continues to be big? Then, in Europe, can you just give us a sense that between Live and RNG, which have been the key drivers of your European growth, on sequential basis, and any sort of steer on how do you expect European revenues to grow from here? Thanks.

Speaker #7: Thanks .

Martin Carlesund: The protection measures that we add to our core is valid for the whole core, meaning supply to all parts of the world. One of the upsides in doing what we're doing now with advanced technology and AI and everything is that it also protects our core in other markets and all over the world. I would almost say that it becomes a competitive advantage where we increase the gap to competition, and eventually we make it so hard to steal our product. If you wanna steal the product, you have to go to someone else. It's protecting everything. Any measure we take in Asia will be accommodated in all of the core. That's that.

Speaker #3: The protection measures , as we add to our core is valid for the whole core , meaning supply to all parts of the world .

Martin Carlesund: The protection measures that we add to our core is valid for the whole core, meaning supply to all parts of the world.

Speaker #3: So , so one of the upsides in doing what we're doing now with advanced technology and AI and everything , is that it also protects our core in other markets and all over the world .

Speaker #3: So I would almost say that it becomes a competitive advantage where we increase the gap to competition and eventually we make it so hard to steal our products .

Speaker #3: So if you want to steal a product , you have to go to someone else . So so it protecting everything . So any measure we take in in Asia will be accommodated in all of the core .

Speaker #3: So that's that's that . And when it comes to the split in in the growth , I mean we're doing very well right now momentarily .

Martin Carlesund: When it comes to the split in the growth, I mean, we're doing very well right now, momentarily very well, maybe not even showing in the figures in the right way. When it comes to RNG, we're happy with the development. Nolimit City is delivering great games. Of course, it's contributing in a good way to total revenue in Europe. Now, it's still a smaller part. Live is the big part, so don't forget that. I mean, it doesn't matter if it does tremendously well, it doesn't affect the figures that much.

Martin Carlesund: When it comes to the split in the growth, I mean, we're doing very well right now, momentarily very well, maybe not even showing in the figures in the right way, but when it comes to R&D, we're happy with the development.

Monique Pollard: Morning, everyone. Thank you for taking my questions. 3 from me, if I can as well. The first was just on the regulated revenue increase we saw in the quarter. You talk about the sort of direction of travel. Just trying to understand whether that increase in the regulated revenues is driven by the fact that, you know, North America and regulated territories performing better than Asia, or whether there were some new markets that regulated in the quarter that also added to that progression. The second question was just on the UK Gambling Commission review. You mentioned in the presentation that there's no new news, but also in the report you say you're expecting a conclusion by the end of the year. Just wondered what gives you confidence in that timeline of end of year, please.

[Analyst 5]: The final question is in relation to the news we had a couple of days ago on Playtech's Black Cube. I appreciate you don't want to get into the details of the types of damages being sought, etc., but it would be really helpful if you could give us some indication of how you look to assess the damages. Is the starting point for assessing damages based on market cap movements on the day that these bits of news became public, or are there other sort of processes you use when you're thinking about the damages that have been caused by these reports? Thank you.

Martin Carlesund: The regulatory percentage, 46% in the quarter, a good development. We're moving in that direction. That's nice. That comes out of course, that the regulated markets are outperforming the non-regulated, and it's affected, of course, by the situation in Asia. More and more gets to be regulated, and I might remind you of that as soon as it tips over to 50%, and if the revenue grows equally, it will continue to increase more and more. We're in good position with that. When it comes to the UK Gambling Commission timeline, unfortunately, I don't have any other information than what I...

[Analyst 5]: Okay.

Raymond Ke: Okay.

Monique Pollard: Okay.

Martin Carlesund: I have no further information. That's what it is. For me, when it comes to the Playtech situation, I mean, I would say about the same things all over again, but when someone behaves in that way, during four years doing this type of action with that type of company as the Black Cube is using Juda as a PR company, it takes a bit away from my belief in humanity and in fair play and in ethics, and morals. Exactly how we will assess damages, that's a later question, but it's a severe amount.

Adrien de Saint Hilaire: Hello, good morning, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions. Hello. First of all, on Asia again, it's been a volatile region now for a while. I'm just curious, high level, if there is a point where you might draw a line in your commitment towards that region and refocus towards other markets. Secondly, you touched on this, but cost per employee was down quarter-on-quarter. Can you explain a bit what's going on there and the sustainability of that? Sorry, this is a bit like technical, perhaps, but there's been quite a switch between current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the quarter. Can you explain a bit what's going on there, please?

Speaker #3: Okay, I will start, refer to, and then I will, with warm hands, hand over the last one to Joakim. So, we look forward, and we are engaged.

Martin Carlesund: Okay. I will start with the first two, and then I will, with warmth, hand over the last one to Joakim. We look forward, and we are engaged, and we actually think it's intriguing, even if it's tough, to find the solution to protect our product in Asia. I think it will become more and more important also for other markets if we look in a longer-time perspective. We don't have any line that we will draw against Asia. We will continue to fight that. As I stated before, it's not about money. It's not the cost that is the problem. It's to find the real good solutions and the level for that.

Martin Carlesund: Okay. I will start with the first two. Then I will, with warmth, hand over the last one to Joakim. We look forward, and we are engaged, and we actually think it's intriguing, even if it's tough to find a solution to protect our product in Asia. I think it will become more and more important also for other markets if we look in a longer time perspective. We don't have any line that we will draw against Asia. We'll continue to fight that. As I stated before, it's not about money. It's not the cost that is the problem. It's to find real good solutions and the level for that.

As I stated before, it's not about money. It's not the cost that is the problem. It's to find real good solutions and the level for that.

Speaker #3: And we actually think it's intriguing, even if it's tough to find a solution to protect our product in Asia. But I think it will become more and more important also for other markets.

Speaker #3: If we look in a longer time perspective . So so we don't we don't have any line that we will draw against Asia .

Speaker #3: We will continue to fight that . And and as I stated before , it's not about money . It's not the cost that that is the problem .

Speaker #3: It's to find the really good solutions on the level for that. If you, if when it comes to cost per employee and the cost base, you have talked about all things actually. In July 2024, we had a strike in Georgia and that situation and the cost mix, and we had to shift a little bit.

Martin Carlesund: When it comes to cost per employee and the cost base, we have talked about all since actually July 2024, where we had the strike in Georgia and that situation, and the cost mix, and we had to shift a little bit. We had an unfavorable cost mix. Now we're starting to be able to shift that, which is what we have talked about during the quarters, that we need to have a better and favorable cost mix. It's not like we're cutting delivery right now. It's we are putting the delivery in the studios which are good. That's the reason why we can't do that. I will hand over to you, Joakim.

Martin Carlesund: When it comes to cost control and the cost base, we have talked about all since actually July 2024, when we had the strike in Georgia and that situation and the cost mix, and we had to shift a little bit. We had an unfavorable cost mix. Now we're starting to be able to shift that, which is what we have talked about during the quarters, that we need to have a better and favorable cost mix. It's not like we're cutting delivery right now. We are putting the delivery in the studios, which are good. That's the reason why we come to that. I will hand over to you, Joakim.

Martin Carlesund: When it comes to cost per employee and the cost base, we have talked about all since actually July 2024, where we had the strike in Georgia and that situation, and the cost mix, and we had to shift a little bit.

It's not like we're cutting delivery right now. It's we are putting the delivery in the studios which are good. That's the reason why we can't do that. I will hand over to you, Joakim.

Speaker #3: So we had an unfavorable cost mix . Now we're starting to be able to shift that , which is what we have talked about during the quarter , is that we need to have a better and favorable cost mix .

Speaker #3: It's not like we're cutting delivery right now . It's we are putting the delivery in the studios , which are good . So , so that's that's the that's the reason why we come to that .

Speaker #3: And then I will hand over to you , Joaquim , of course . Sorry . The balance sheet question . It's simply a reclassification of Earnout liabilities that we have moved from long been long term to short term in this quarter , as they indeed are shorter than the year .

Joakim Andersson: Yeah, of course. Sorry. The balance sheet question is simply a reclassification of earn out liabilities that we have moved from being long-term to short-term in this quarter, as they indeed are shorter than a year. I think that's the one that you are referring to. Well spotted, by the way.

Operator: The next question comes from Raymond Kay from Nordea. Please go ahead.

Speaker #10: Hi . Good morning . A couple of questions from me . I'll take them one by one . Starting with no surprise . Maybe at Asia as well compared to say , Q2 .

Raymond Ke: Hi, good morning. A couple of questions from me. I'll take them one by one, starting with no surprise maybe at Asia as well. Compared to, say, Q2, how much of the decline here that we saw in Q3 would you say is due to cyberattacks and how much is from regulations and changes in geographies like Philippines and India, would you estimate?

Raymond Ke: Hi, good morning. A couple of questions from me. I'll take them one by one, starting with no surprise maybe at Asia as well. Compared to, say, Q2, how much of the decline here that we saw in Q3 would you say is due to cyberattacks and how much is from regulations and changes in geographies like Philippines and India, would you estimate?

[Analyst 2]: Hi. Good morning. A couple of questions from me. I'll take them one by one, starting with, no surprise, maybe at Asia as well. Compared to, say, Q2, how much of the decline here that we saw in Q3 would you say is due to cyber attacks, and how much is from regulations and changes in geographies like the Philippines and India, would you estimate?

Speaker #10: How much of the decline here that we saw in Q3 ? Would you say it's due to cyber attacks and how much is from regulations and changes in geographies like Philippines and India ?

Speaker #10: Would you estimate ?

Martin Carlesund: I don't split that out. There are sort of three components in the situation. One is cyberattacks, and the cyberattacks is of course the constant level of it, but also our action that was a little bit too tough, then we had to retract. There is the instability in the region when it comes to regulatory situation. Here we point out India and Philippines as two of those, but there are also others. Unfortunately, I don't wanna go into exactly where in detail. It's also very hard to see that.

Speaker #3: I don't split that out. There are sort of three components in the situation. One is cyber attacks, and cyber attacks is, of course, the constant level of it.

Martin Carlesund: I don't split that out. There are sort of three components in the situation.

Unfortunately, I don't want to go into exactly where in detail, and it's also very hard to see that.

Speaker #3: But also our action . That was a little bit to too tough . And then we had to retract . And then there is the unstability in in the region when it comes to regulatory situation .

Speaker #3: And here we point out India and and Philippines as to two of those . But there are also others . So some unfortunately I don't I don't want to go into exactly where in in detail .

Speaker #3: And it's also very hard to see that .

Speaker #10: Got it . And then regarding sort of the regulatory situation in not just Philippines and India , I understand it , but how many months of impact we just made that we have seen here in Q3 .

Raymond Ke: Got it. Regarding sort of the regulatory situation in not just Philippines and India, I understand it, how many months of impact would you estimate that we have seen here in Q3? If we compare it sort of to ring-fencing back in Q1, do we have the full effect? How much should we expect ahead? It would be really helpful to understand.

Raymond Ke: Got it. Regarding sort of the regulatory situation in not just Philippines and India, I understand it, how many months of impact would you estimate that we have seen here in Q3? If we compare it sort of to ring-fencing back in Q1, do we have the full effect? How much should we expect ahead? It would be really helpful to understand.

[Analyst 2]: Got it. Regarding sort of the regulatory situation in not just the Philippines and India, I understand it, but how many months of impact would you estimate that we have seen here in Q3? If we compare it sort of to ring-fencing back in Q1, do we have the full effect? How much should we expect ahead? It would be really helpful to understand.

Speaker #10: If we compare it sort of to ring back in Q1, do we have the full effect? How much should we expect ahead?

Speaker #10: It would be really helpful to understand .

Speaker #3: I know I understand you , I assume that you're talking about Asia right ?

Martin Carlesund: I know. I understand. I assume that you're talking about Asia, right?

Martin Carlesund: I know. I understand. I assume that you're talking about Asia, right?

Martin Carlesund: I know, I understand. I assume that you're talking about Asia, right?

Speaker #10: Yeah . That's correct .

[Analyst 2]: Yeah, that's correct.

Raymond Ke: Yeah, that's correct.

Raymond Ke: Yeah, that's correct.

Speaker #3: So I think that there is a difference between the situation in Europe and in Asia , so to speak , that the ring fencing is has a little bit of a tail .

Martin Carlesund: I think that there is a difference between the situation in Europe and Asia, so to speak, that the ring-fencing has to be a bit of a tail. I think that in Asia, the situation is more momentarily, okay, this is where we are right now, and we need to take it from there. And then we need to see that we do the right things in the coming quarter and see to find the balance.

Martin Carlesund: I think that there is a difference between the situation in Europe and Asia, so to speak, that the ring-fencing has a little bit of a tail. I think that in Asia, the situation is more momentarily, "Okay, this is where we are right now, and we need to take it from there," and then we need to see that we do the right things in the coming quarter and see to find the balance.

Martin Carlesund: I think that there is a difference between the situation in Europe and Asia, so to speak, that the ring-fencing has to be a bit of a tail.

And then we need to see that we do the right things in the coming quarter and see to find the balance.

Speaker #3: I think that in Asia , the situation is more momentarily , okay , this is where we are right now and we need to take it from there .

Speaker #3: And then we need to see that we do the right things in the coming quarter and see the divine , the balance .

Speaker #10: Got it . And then on North America , your sequential sales growth was flat here in Q3 . You had momentum going into Q2 , where it added €2 million on top line .

Raymond Ke: Got it. On North America, your sequential sales growth was flat here in Q3. You had momentum going into Q2, where it added EUR 2 million on top line. How much of the trend here in Q3 would you say is due to withdrawing from California and State? Is it the majority here or is there other explanations?

Raymond Ke: Got it. On North America, your sequential sales growth was flat here in Q3. You had momentum going into Q2, where it added EUR 2 million on top line. How much of the trend here in Q3 would you say is due to withdrawing from California and State? Is it the majority here or is there other explanations?

[Analyst 2]: Got it. On North America, your sequential sales growth was flat here in Q3. You had momentum going into Q2 where it added €2 million on top lineup. How much of the trend here in Q3 would you say is due to withdrawing from Californian stake? Is it the majority here, or is there other explanations?

Speaker #10: Now , how much of the trend here in Q3 would you say is due to withdrawing from California and stake ? Is it the majority here or is there other explanations ?

Speaker #3: I wouldn't say that that affects significantly .

Martin Carlesund: I wouldn't say that affects significantly.

Martin Carlesund: I wouldn't say that affects significantly.

Martin Carlesund: I wouldn't say that affects significantly.

Speaker #10: It, and finally, just one more, if I may, could you maybe help us get a better understanding of how you intend to reach your margin target with the revenue we see here in Q2?

Raymond Ke: Got it. Finally, just one more, if I may. Could you maybe help us get a better understanding of how you intend to reach your margin target with the revenue we see here in Q2? How much should come from, say, revenue growth? How much should come from additional cost savings? Is it sort of equal-equal, or how should we think about that?

Raymond Ke: Got it. Finally, just one more, if I may. Could you maybe help us get a better understanding of how you intend to reach your margin target with the revenue we see here in Q2? How much should come from, say, revenue growth? How much should come from additional cost savings? Is it sort of equal-equal, or how should we think about that?

[Analyst 2]: Got it. Finally, just one more, if I may. Could you maybe help us get a better understanding of how you intend to reach your margin target with the revenue we see here in Q2? How much should come from, say, revenue growth? How much should come from additional cost savings? Is it sort of equal or equal, or how should we think about that?

Speaker #10: How much should come from , say , revenue growth ? How much should come from additional cost savings ? Is it sort of equal , equal ?

Speaker #10: Or how should we think about that?

Speaker #3: No , I . mean , if I . jump in and take that , I mean , in in Q3 , clearly we are within , right ?

Martin Carlesund: No. If I jump in and take that. I mean, in Q3, clearly we are within, right? It has a separate quarter, 66.4 this quarter, and also, as we said yesterday, to 66.0. If we just repeat what we now delivered in Q3, we are there, right? It doesn't take a lot to make it for the full year, and we are quite confident that we will make it for the full year.

Martin Carlesund: No. If I jump in and take that. I mean, in Q3, clearly we are within, right? It has a separate quarter, 66.4 this quarter, and also, as we said yesterday, to 66.0. If we just repeat what we now delivered in Q3, we are there, right? It doesn't take a lot to make it for the full year, and we are quite confident that we will make it for the full year.

Joakim Andersson: No, I mean, if I jump in and take that, I mean, in Q3, clearly, we are within, right? It has a separate quarter, 66.4 this quarter, and also, as we said yesterday, it's 66.0. If we just repeat what we now delivered in Q3, we are there, right? It doesn't take a lot to make it for the full year.

Speaker #3: As a separate quarter , 66 point for this quarter . And also , as we said yesterday , the 66.0 . So if we just repeat what we now delivered in Q3 , we are there .

Speaker #3: Right? So it doesn't take a lot to make it for the full year. And we are quite confident that we will make it for the full year.

Martin Carlesund: We are quite confident that we will make it for the full year.

[Analyst 1]: Thanks for taking my question. Do you anticipate that India could potentially have an impact also in the fourth quarter? That's the first question.

Speaker #11: So that's the first question.

Speaker #3: Can't can't comment on that . I don't I look at it I look at Asia right now and I'm , I'm cautious when I make any predictions due to the situation that it's so volatile .

Martin Carlesund: Can't comment on that. I don't. I look at it, I look at Asia right now, and I'm cautious when I make any predictions due to the situation that it's so volatile.

Martin Carlesund: Can't comment on that. I look at Asia right now, and I'm cautious when I make any predictions due to the situation that it's so volatile.

Martin Carlesund: Can't comment on that. I don't. I look at it, I look at Asia right now, and I'm cautious when I make any predictions due to the situation that it's so volatile.

Speaker #11: Fair enough . Can you can you explain the next step in , in , in your legal battle with regards to to play take what happens next ?

[Analyst 1]: Fair enough. Can you explain the next step in your legal battle with regards to Playtech? What happens next? Could you also perhaps give us an indication of what the run rate of cost is that you're incurring, if possible?

Rasmus Engberg: Fair enough. Can you explain the next step in your legal battle with regards to Playtech? What happens next? Could you also perhaps give us an indication of what the run rate of costs is that you're incurring, if possible?

Rasmus Engberg: Fair enough. Can you explain the next step in your legal battle with regards to Playtech? What happens next? Could you also perhaps give us an indication of what the run rate of costs is that you're incurring, if possible?

Speaker #11: And could you also perhaps give us an indication of what the run rate of costs is that you're incurring ? If possible ?

Speaker #3: The first question I can I can answer , it's like the the thing that happened this week is actually a non it's not a it's not a action that affects evolution in any way .

Martin Carlesund: The, the first question I can answer. It's like the, the thing that happened this week is actually It's not a action that affects Evolution in any way. When we initiated the litigation, it was with a fake name, Joe Roe. That was Playtech, we just didn't know that it was Playtech. Right now, that is just exchanged for Playtech because we finally got the name. That's what happened. Then we gave you to the market, all the information we had relating to that. That's it. From our perspective... The next thing is that there are a number of depositions and potential information that should be shared, and the legal process will continue just like it had been.

Martin Carlesund: The, the first question I can answer. It's like the, the thing that happened this week is actually It's not a action that affects Evolution in any way. When we initiated the litigation, it was with a fake name, Joe Roe. That was Playtech, we just didn't know that it was Playtech. Right now, that is just exchanged for Playtech because we finally got the name. That's what happened. Then we gave you to the market, all the information we had relating to that. That's it. From our perspective... The next thing is that there are a number of depositions and potential information that should be shared, and the legal process will continue just like it had been.

Martin Carlesund: The first question I can answer. The thing that happened this week is actually not an action that affects Evolution AB in any way. When we initiated the litigation, it was with a fake name, Joe Rowe. That was Playtech, but we just didn't know that it was Playtech. Right now, that is just exchanged for Playtech because we finally got the name. That's what happened. We gave you to the market all the information we had relating to that, and that's it. From our perspective, the next thing is that there are a number of depositions and potential information that should be shared, and the legal process will continue just like it had been. When it relates to the cost, it's naturally very expensive to do these types of exercises. We do it to protect the shareholders. We do it for the value for the shareholders.

Speaker #3: When we initiated the litigation , it was with a fake name . Joe Rowe . And that was Playtech . But we just didn't know that it was plated .

Speaker #3: So so right now that is just exchanged for Playtech because we finally got the name . So that's what happened . That's and then we gave you to the market all the information we had relating to that and that's it .

Speaker #3: So so so from our perspective . And the next thing is that there are a number of depositions and , and potential information that should be shared .

Speaker #3: And the legal process will continue , just like it have been . One , it is when it relates to the cost . It's naturally very expensive to to do this type of exercises .

Martin Carlesund: When it relates to the cost, it's naturally very expensive to do these type of exercises. We do it to protect the shareholders. We do it the value for the shareholders. We do it to protect the company. We think it's unfair. It's unheard of. It's a behavior that we just don't understand. Now we won't split it out right now. Maybe in the future to come, we will look into it, but right now, we don't comment on the exact cost.

Martin Carlesund: When it relates to the cost, it's naturally very expensive to do these type of exercises. We do it to protect the shareholders. We do it the value for the shareholders. We do it to protect the company. We think it's unfair. It's unheard of. It's a behavior that we just don't understand. Now we won't split it out right now. Maybe in the future to come, we will look into it, but right now, we don't comment on the exact cost.

Speaker #3: We do this to protect the shareholders. We do it to create value for the shareholders. We do it to protect the company. We think it's unfair.

Martin Carlesund: We do it to protect the company. We think it's unfair. It's unheard of. It's a behavior that we just don't understand. We won't split it out right now. Maybe in the future to come, we will look into it. Right now, we don't comment on the exact cost.

Speaker #3: It's it's unheard of . It's a behavior that we we just don't understand . And now we want to split it out right now , maybe in the future to come , we will look into it .

Speaker #3: But right now we don't comment on the exact cost .

Speaker #11: Okay . Thanks . Fair enough .

[Analyst 1]: Okay, thanks. Fair enough.

Martin Carlesund: Good morning, everyone, and two questions, please.

Martin Carlesund: Morning.

Martin Carlesund: Morning.

Jack Cummings: The first is just on the ring-fencing in Europe. Is there any more that you still have to do, or is all of the European ring-fencing now completed? Just on my second question, appreciate it's a little bit early than when you normally talk about full year 2026. Based upon your comments on costs, shifting cost mix, would you expect to see EBITDA margins expand in full year 2026 on full year 2025? Thank you.

Martin Carlesund: When I look at ring-fencing, I think that we're in a very good position right now in Europe. Things can happen in both directions, but I don't know any other actions that are ahead of us right now. When it comes to EBITDA margin, we have full focus on 2025 to deliver the 66% to 68%. We look forward to do that. I assume somewhere when we release the Q1 report, the Q4 report, sorry for that, I'm a little bit ahead of the curve, then we will guide you for 2026. Okay, thank you. Please let's make this positive. Thank you. Thank you.

Karan Puri: Hi. Most of my questions are actually answered. Just one on Europe, I guess. Wondering how we should be thinking about a more normalized growth profile in 2026 onwards once you sort of lapped the ring-fencing adjustments. If you could share a bit on that would be great. Thank you.

Speaker #13: Once you sort of lapped the ring fencing adjustments , if you could share a bit on that would be would be great . Thank you .

Martin Carlesund: The answer to that, I don't guide on the future, but historically, over the time, Europe is the most mature market, and we had a pace of growing 9, 10%, some quite consistently over a number of years. That's the best knowledge we have of the situation. Right now we're ring-fenced, and we're starting to see a little bit of growth from that.

Andrew Tam: Good morning, both. Just one question from me. Can I just clarify just your position on India? You talk about the regulatory volatility there. I just wanted to just fully understand what that means. Obviously, you've seen in recent weeks, one of your largest customers globally, decide to exit that market entirely with the real money gambling ban. Are you saying that that is a market that you would look to ring-fence as well should you get some more regulatory clarity, going the other way against you?
