Tabcorp lotteries and keno will undergo a separation following a rigorous assessment of all relevant structural and ownership options. They decided on the demerger after an in-depth and strategic review with the overall aim to maximise value for their shareholders, following an original announcement made back at the end of March this year.
The next step is to create two separate entities as ASX-listed companies, with lotteries and keno, wagering and gaming as well as instantly recognisable operating profiles, with new strategies and growth opportunities. Currently, Tabcorp is one of the largest Australian online gambling companies within legal online sports betting the country while its Keno and Lottery generally fall under the firm’s iGaming faction.
Steven Greggs Speak about the Tabcorp Move
Steven Gregg sits on the board of directors at Tabcorp and will manage proceedings and oversee the demerger, which also sees David Attenborough, the CEO of Tabcorp, remain in his position at least until the process of the demerger is complete. The aim is now to complete by the start of July 2022, subject to approval from all relevant parties.
The company concluded that it was in the company’s shareholders’ best interests for the demerger of the lotteries & keno business in order to maximise the overall value of Tabcorp. Gregg stated that everything is in place for Lotteries & KenoCo and Wagering & GamingCo to grow over the long term. The Tabcorp and Tatts partnership has been set up to benefit from larger scale and greater diversification.
We now expected the two businesses to be industry leaders in each of their markets, enhancing their reputations and offering a greater experience for millions of their customers. They will aim to continue the success with Governments, which in turn creates more benefits for licensed venues, the racing industry and many more existing and potential retail clients.
Tabcorp’s primary focus is on management optimization and capital structures with an increase in scale and diversification and a more focused approach towards operating profiles connected better with its core operations team. They will look to participate in future merger and acquisition dealings, recruiting new investors’ and paying close attention to different environmental, social and corporate governance factors.
Why Are Lotteries & Keno Popular?
Lotteries & KenoCo offers superior qualities with lower capital intensity bringing in potential upside from the continuing growth in digital areas. Scale is at its forefront with a portfolio of exclusive long-standing state licences and a very attractive financial profile. Wagering & GamingCo will have a national scale and potentially grow from any future structural reform and international mergers or expansions.
Wagering & Media has gone through significant change and now is fully geared in creating the best customer experience across all channels!
