Kambi Group plc Chief Executive Officer exercises share options and retains shares

Malta, 12 March 2020



Kristian Nylén exercises 300,000 share options issued in 2013 and shall retain all resulting shares

Kambi Group plc CEO Kristian Nylén has exercised the 300,000 share options issued to him in 2013 and shall retain all the resulting shares.  

Kambi Group plc welcomes the CEO’s decision to exercise the options and retain the shares, as well as the subsequent reduction in uncertainty related to the future social security costs for the Group.

In order to pay the option price and income tax, Nylén has taken a loan of approximately 1.2m GBP from a subsidiary of Kambi Group plc. The repayment period is three years, with the loan subject to a market standard interest rate and a lock-in commitment, which acts to secure retention of the shares during this period.

Reports on Kambi Group

Kambi (Buy, TP: SEK195.00) - Aiming for the next league

Q1 earnings fell shy of our forecast due to non-cash FX revaluations, and the company maintained its underlying 2025 EBITA guidance of EUR20m–25m. We remain confident of an earnings improvement during the year – driven by a greater contribution from Brazil, the launch of the key OLG contract and cost efficiencies – and expect the client pipeline to materialise further. We reiterate our BUY and SEK195 target price.

Kambi (Buy, TP: SEK195.00) - Decent start to 2025

We reiterate our BUY, but have reduced our target price to SEK195 (200) on trimmed estimates (weak USD). We forecast decent Q1 results (due at 08:00 CET on 30 April), including adj. EBIT of EUR5.4m, down slightly YOY, reflecting the Kindred contract and raised gaming taxes. We expect the 2025 adj. EBIT guidance to be maintained, and see potential for client signings, stricter cost efficiency and better capital distribution.
