The group also operates in the B2B sector through gaming supplier Swintt and maintains investment activities through Glitnor Ventures.

- An 18% to 20% increase in group revenue.
- A 29% to 31% increase in EBITDA.
- Improved operational efficiency through business integration.

Both executives highlighted the opportunities to enhance product offerings and develop new commercial initiatives.
Next Steps and Impact
