August Swedish gaming tax figures

August was the third consecutive month with signs that the Swedish market is concentrating towards the leading brands. In the long-term, such a trend should support leading licensed operators such as Kindred and LeoVegas, which experienced a stable MOM progress in August compared to a c10% drop for the aggregate of challenger brands, according to the data.

Evolution (Buy, TP: SEK1800.00) - Strong table games in September

According to our tracker, Evolution’s daily average player count continues to show monthly improvement since early August. In September, the tracker is so far showing +8% MOM driven by double-digit growth in roulette and baccarat. Although boosted by seasonality, we consider the near-term trends a relief and coupled with strong growth in new dedicated Live tables, we see potential upside to our Q3e revenue growth QOQ.

Evolution (Buy, TP: SEK1800.00) - Late-summer player improvement

After low-season June-July, Evolution has returned to MOM growth in daily average players so far in August, according to our tracker covering the ‘scalable games’. Moreover, we assume revenue growth support in H2e from key new game releases; and continued step-up of new dedicated Live tables (blackjack; not covered by our tracker) still boosted by pent-up demand among the online operators, Evolution’s customers.

Lyko Group (Sell, TP: SEK95.00) - Waiting for further positive signs

For Q3, we are slightly above consensus on EBIT but below on net profit. We expect Lyko’s results to be weighed down by continuously high financial costs. In our view, focus will remain on its European market, the efforts to improve its group gross margin, and the cash flow position (net debt/EBITDA of c4.4x at end-Q2). We reiterate our SELL and SEK95 target price, reflecting its stretched balance sheet and our belief that it will take time to properly balance growth and profitability.

Bilia AB (Buy, TP: SEK150.00) - Recovery likely pushed to 2025

We are cautious ahead of the Q3 report, as a likely recovery in car earnings is pushed to 2025e, while we expect service earnings to be flattish on still-restrained consumer sentiment near-term. Nevertheless, with c+40% EPS growth in 2025e on a forecast new-car market recovery next year, we remain positive on the stock. We reiterate our BUY but have cut our target price to SEK150 (160), mainly on lower estimates.
