Malta-headquartered Kindred Group plc announced it will present its report for fourth quarter 2022 on Wednesday 8 February. CEO Henrik Tjärnström will host a web presentation in English at 10.00am.
The company generated €305 million in total group revenue for Q4 2022, a strong increase of 24 percent year-on-year compared to the same period in 2021.
Kindred reported customer growth by 25 percent to 1.83 million registered customers during the last quarter 2022 as a result of the World Cup in Qatar. CEO Henrik Tjarnstrom said “it is important to remember that the unusual timing of a winter World Cup will distort any direct comparatives”. Although there were pros and cons to having a winter World Cup, the company reported record-breaking turnover for both sportsbook and casino in December.
Kindred has paused a daily fine from Norwegian regulator Lotteritlisynet of NOK 1.2 million (€111,960) that came into effect on 14 September 2022. The regulator confirmed that it is legal for Norwegian customers to use the operator´s services after a warning that fines would cease when the operator stopped to target consumers in Norway.
Promotions from within
In the meantime Kindred has announced two new C-level appointments by internal promotions. Rachel Randle-Williams has been promoted to Chief Human Resources Officer replacing Gavin Hayward while Sören Thörnlund has been appointed as new Chief Technology Officer replacing Marcus Smedman. Both Randle-Williams and Thörnlund have worked for Kindred Group for a number of years.
