The latest results reaffirm the positive impact of the acquisition of Aspire Global
The technology-driven provider of innovative iGaming and iLottery solutions, NeoGames SA, released its unaudited results for the fourth quarter and 2022, outlining strong growth of revenue. The new trading update reveals that the total revenues and the company’s share in NPI revenues for 2022 hit $210.2 million. When compared to the $84.5 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2021, this result represented a significant increase of 149%.
NeoGames explained that the growth of the figure last year reflects “the business combination with Aspire Global.” At the same time, the company said that the total NPI revenues for 2022 surpassed even the high end of the projected $197 million to $208 million guidance for last year.
