Gtech full-year revenue up slightly

PROVIDENCE – Gtech, a subsidiary of Italy-based Lottomatica, saw its full-year revenue increase 1.8 percent to 857.4 million euros, or about $1.14 billion, in 2011.

Gtech G2, its e-commerce solutions unit, saw full-year revenue surge 8.9 percent to 81.2 million euros, or about $107.7 million according to xe.com.

“Gtech’s same-store sales are expected to benefit from continued improvements in California and Illinois, and an increased customer focus on growth to help offset budget deficits,” Lottomatica said in a news release.

“With the next rebid cycle now years away, Gtech is set for contract price stability during which it can focus on initiatives to stimulate same-store sales growth,” the company added. “At the same time, the amount of capital required to renew the existing portfolio of contracts is now expected to be significantly lower than the last few years’ average.”
