PTEC Results Ahead Of Expectations.... PTEC Playtec....Superb results this morning a little ahead of market expectations.....Current trading and outlook Average daily revenue in the Gaming division for the first 55 days of Q3 2015 is up 15% on the same period in 2014, which benefitted from the impact of the 2014 World Cup, and down 2% on Q2 2015, with Q2 being a strong quarter and Q3 the traditionally slowest quarter. We have a good pipeline in our Gaming division with significant opportunities across all geographies. Our market-leading Playtech ONE omni-channel offering, depth of product suite and ability to offer full turnkey solution remain key to winning new business and driving our growth. In the first 55 days of Q3 2015, Markets Limited enjoyed a strong performance with CFD customers up 19% against the same period in 2014; and first time depositors (FTDs) for CFDs up 12%. We expect to complete the acquisitions of Plus500 and Ava Trade by the end of September, when we will be in a position to integrate and drive the performance of all three businesses as a single division. The strong performance in the first half of the year gives me great confidence that the sustained momentum in the business will result in strong growth in 2015 and beyond.
