Rafi Ashkenazi, interim chief executive of Amaya, has said that the corporate was capable of record year-on-year growth across a number of key finances through the three months through to March 31, despite having needed to take care of a lot of “unexpected challenges” within the period.

Revenue within the first quarter amounted to $288.7 million (€254.8 million), which represents a rise of 6% at the $272.3 million posted within the same period last year. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, deprecation and amortisation (EBITDA) was up 8.7% year-on-year to $123.4 million, with net earnings from continuing operations rocketing 138.5% to $55.5 million and changed net earnings also up 26% to $85 million.

Amaya also noted that diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share hiked 141.8% to $0.28, while adjusted net earnings per diluted share increased by 27.8% to $0.43.
