Six-month revenue fell to $116.5m
Ainsworth Game Technology saw its six-month revenue fall by 23 per cent to $116.5m, due to challenging trading conditions experienced across all geographic markets with weak consumer sentiment and tough macro economic conditions prevailing.
It highlighted a ‘lack of compelling new product offerings in recent times in the company’s largest market (North America) as well as regulatory changes such as the increase in Mexican gaming tax and further removals of Historical Horse Racing (HHR) machines in New Hampshire due to changes in regulations that were introduced in prior periods.’
Profit after Tax for the half was $1.1m compared to $4.9m in the PCP. On a normalised basis (excluding currency impacts and one-off items), Underlying Profit before Tax for H1CY26 was $4.7m in line with the guidance provided by the company in July 2026.
AGT CEO Ryan Comstock said: “Given the challenging trading conditions, our focus has been on disciplined cost management to enhance margins, reducing debt, and improving our operating cash flow whilst also continuing our investment in R&D, and successfully launching new products in key markets. A lack of compelling new product offerings in recent times in our largest market – North America – has adversely impacted our performance. We have taken steps to address this and are focused over the next six months on a product roadmap with a consistent release cadence off the back of the Dragon Legacy.
“We are encouraged by the strong reception to our new product releases and expansions. Of note has been the release of our A-STAR Raptor range in a single-screen version in the Asia Pacific market. Our expansion of the A-STAR Raptor portfolio in this market with the addition of Double Dragons and Loot Express, has been strong with both offerings launching at more than twice floor average and continuing to perform above floor average. In North America our Dragon Legacy reaches Class 2 and HHR availability in September, extending our best-performing content into the segments that make up around 61 per cent of regional revenue. Our Dragon Legacy Metal offering was ranked first and our Dragon Legacy Wood ranked second in the June 2026 Eilers Report of Top 25 New Core Videos and our recently released ‘Just Chillin’ offering, (developed using our AI tools), has been shortlisted for Product Innovation of the Year at the 2026 Global Gaming Awards.
“Looking ahead our focus remains on driving revenue growth across all our markets by delivering innovative and competitive products for which there is strong demand coupled with disciplined financial management to deliver shareholder value.”
