Evoke H1 2026 slides: revenue stable as duty mitigation offsets £46m hit
Evoke plc reported its H1 2026 financial results on August 12, 2026, showing stable revenue of £887.5 million amidst a £46 million increase in gaming duties across key markets. Despite the tax headwinds, the company's cost mitigation strategies proved effective, with like-for-like revenue growing by 2% and adjusted EBITDA declining 10% to £150.2 million.
The UK&I Online segment led with a 4% revenue increase and a 28% rise in adjusted EBITDA, while retail profitability improved following the closure of around 270 underperforming shops. Evoke is awaiting shareholder approval for its acquisition by Bally’s Intralot S.A., set for August 17, 2026, with completion expected in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027.
