evoke closed 2025 with a solid final quarter and steady full-year performance. The evoke FY25 results reflect stronger gaming activity and disciplined cost management. Management highlighted momentum in core markets despite ongoing regulatory pressure in the UK.
Q4 2025 revenue reached approximately GBP 464m (ca. EUR 536m), marking the strongest quarter of the year. Revenue rose 7% quarter-on-quarter but declined 3% year-on-year due to a strong comparator in Q4 2024. The prior-year period benefited from operator-friendly sports betting outcomes.
Gaming revenue increased 9% year-on-year in Q4 2025, with growth across retail, online and international markets. Retail gaming rose 10%, while international gaming grew 14% during the quarter. The UK business also saw 888casino return to growth.
Full-year revenue is expected to come in at around GBP 1.79bn (ca. EUR 2.1bn), up 2% year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA is forecast in the range of GBP 355m (ca. EUR 410m) to GBP 360m (ca. EUR 416m), representing growth of around 14–15%. This implies an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 20%, in line with previous guidance.
The group confirmed that its strategic review, announced in December 2025, is ongoing. Options under consideration include a potential sale of the group or selected assets, with no forward guidance provided while the process continues. CEO Per Widerström said: “We were very disappointed with the outcome of the UK Budget,” adding that evoke has begun closing unsustainable retail sites and implementing further cost savings.
