Despite disappointing revenue results, the company saw an operator turnover increase of 12%.

Kambi Group has announced its Q3 results for 2022, reporting revenue of $36.7m, an annual decline of 11%. Its revenue for the year thus far – from January to September – now stands at $108.2m.

Its operating profit (EBIT) for Q3 fell considerably year-on-year to $3.9m, as the provider cited a traditionally challenging period for sports betting, given the "quiet" US sporting calendar.

Cash flow (excluding work capital and marketing costs) amounted to $1.8m for Q3 and $7.3m for the period January – September. This represented another annual decrease.

Operator turnover increased by 12%, which was driven by new market launches and partner signings. The company expanded its partner network in the Americas, with the addition of four new signings: ilani, Mohegan, Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort and Ondiss.

In additional acquisition news, Kambi acquired front-end specialist Shape Games, a B2B iGaming platform, with this new subsidiary promising to lend “market-leading front-end technology.”

A significant highlight occuring after Q3’s official curtain call was its partnership with Great Canadian Entertainment, a dominant on-property gaming and entertainment company in Canada.

Kambi CEO Kristian Nylén said: “The third quarter is always the most challenging for the sports betting industry given the quiet sporting calendar and this year was no exception. It was also a quarter marked by growing global economic uncertainty and higher cost of living.

“Despite this, Kambi proved its resilience once more and I am pleased to report another busy quarter for the business with operator turnover growth of 12%."

Faring better in sports betting thanks mainly to its LatAm presence, operator Betsson reported its "best quarter ever."
