Mybet issues revenue warning, makes big bet on German court fight

German online betting operator Mybet is warning investors that its downward spiral shows no sign of abating this year.

In a brief statement released Wednesday, Mybet wanred investors that its preliminary read of its Q3 results showed revenue of around €35m through the first nine months of 2016. The company says Q3 showed a “continuation of the negative trend in revenues from the previous quarters.”

As a result of this ongoing revenue lethargy, Mybet says its previous forecast for FY16 revenue coming in between €59m and €62m “is no longer realistic.” The company is now projecting FY16 revenue to come in between €43m and €46m, a difference of €16m.

Mybet insists that its forecast of “positive low-seven-figure EBIT” remains unchanged, thanks in part to the June sale of its stake in the Pfederwetten.de race betting business, which provided a one-time cash injection of nearly €10m.
