Financials

OPAP delivered good revenue growth in Q124 while profitability declined, mainly due to the upfront investment to support a major new product launch, which should boost revenue as the year progresses and provide better leverage on the higher cost base. The broad message was of strong online growth with resilience in its land-based activities, which gives management confidence to reiterate its guidance for the year.
