Moreover, in 2005 and the beginning of 2006 the Company undertook total debt of €83.0m, taking serious steps towards the, much awaited by investors, improvement of its capital structure, enhancing returns to shareholders.


In 2005, the company continued its global expansion through organic growth of exisiting contracts, new contracts, the acquisition of a betting company in Poland and the increase of the stake in our Turkish subsidiary. Moreover, in 2005 INTRALOT was marked as a five-continent company by undertaking projects in Africa and Oceania. Concerning domestic operations, ‘Stihima’ sales, after the measures taken for the improvement of the game, showed a strong recovery, posting in the fourth quarter of 2005 a 30% increase y-o-y.


Looking forward, 2006 and 2007 will be challenging years since important tenders for Lottery Privatization Projects and other major contracts will take place. Moreover, the World Cup in Germany is a major international sports event that will attract football fans’ attention, a very significant factor for INTRALOT’s operations in 13 countries. Finally, the development of our new series of games branded GameWareX is expected to be a very promising product in our portfolio of games.


The INTRALOT Group will continue to pursue business opportunities around the Globe and deliver value to both its customers and shareholders. The strategic development of the business, our wide portfolio of products and services and our financial performance provide a strong foundation for the years ahead.”
