OVERVIEW OFRESULTS

REVENUES

o Reported consolidated revenues increased by 7.1% compared to the prior year; this led to total revenues for the twelve-month period ending in December 31, 2016, to €1,323.6m. Revenues in 4Q16 increased by 7.5% compared to the same period last year, driven by the increased sports betting revenues in Bulgaria and the consolidation of the recently acquired Bulgarian lottery company, Eurobet, after 1H16.

o The increase in Fiscal Year 2016 derives from: €+155.4m in East Europe due to increased sales in Bulgaria and Turkey, €+21.6m in North America driven by the sale of self-service lottery terminals and the largest Powerball Jackpot in history. Revenue increases were partially counterbalanced by decreased sales of €-57.8m in Asia due to lower sales in Azerbaijan where the local currency suffered severe devaluation, and €-36.9m in South America due to the considerable devaluation of the local Argentinian currency and softer sales in Jamaica and Brazil.

o Adjusting for Eurobet's first time consolidation, total revenues for the twelve-month period ending in December 31, 2016, shaped to €1,295.8m (+4.9% in y-o-y)

o Constant currency basis: In Fiscal Year 2016, revenues-net of the negative FX impact of €148.5m-reached €1,472.1m (+19.2% y-o-y), while in 4Q16 revenues-net of the negative FX impact of €36.4m-were shaped at €402.5m (+18.2% y-o-y).

APPENDIX

o Revenues from Operation contracts (licenses) increased by 5.8% mainly due to higher revenues in Bulgaria, Malta, and Poland, partially counterbalanced by the performance of Azerbaijan, Jamaica, Argentina, and Brazil.

o Sales from Management contracts posted an increase of 17.1% mainly driven by the performance of Turkey and Morocco.

o Revenues from HW sales and facilities management increased by 8.7% mainly due to increased revenues in the US and Australia; the effect was partially counterbalanced by the revenues in Argentina, an IT contract in Malaysia, and the revenues from the Hellenic Lotteries.

INTRALOT Parent company results

Revenues for the period decreased by 14.4% to €65.5m.The sales contraction is primarily driven by the lower revenues in Malaysia (due to one-off IT sales in the first half of 2015) and the lower revenues from the Hellenic Lotteries (due to one-off sales of equipment in the first half of 2015).

EBITDA decreased to €-0.5m from €45.7m in FY15. The considerable EBITDA variance is mainly driven by the less Intragroup provisions reversals in 2016 vs. 2015 (€23.0m) and higher Intragroup provisions in 2016 (€12.0m) followed by the aforementioned revenue decline.

Earnings After Taxes (EAT) shaped at €-0.4m from €-3.6m in FY15.
