LeoVegas Minor model adjustments

On Friday, LeoVegas announced the following for Q4 (results due at 08:00 CET on 14 February): 1) a EUR10m writedown (Panda); 2) a EUR11m capital gain (Authentic Gaming); and 3) efficiency initiatives (EUR6m one-off charge) to generate annual savings of EUR3.7m. The company also stated that UK revenue grew by 15% QOQ in Q4, excluding Panda, in line with our estimate of a recovery for the continuing UK business. We believe this indicates that the worst is now behind LeoVegas as regards UK issues. We have updated our estimates to reflect the announcements, but have left our Q4e adj. EBITDA (EUR9.0m, up 10% YOY) and 2019–2020e adj. EPS unchanged. We do not consider these changes to be material, and we keep our BUY recommendation and SEK50 target price.
