TURNAROUND TIME
Raketech has returned to a solidly progressive revenue path . Revenues were up 26.6 % to € 8.3m in the first three months of the year , 5.4 % of which was organic growth versus a minus 10 % comparator . The only slight negative was that quarter-on-quarter revenues were down slightly . After period close , the company noted that April revenues rose 16 % to € 2.8m .
The number of new depositing customers increased 23.5 % year-on-year to 39,874 but as can be seen , this is the second consecutive fall in NDCs , albeit from a record high in the third quarter of 2020 .
EBITDA was up 22 % to € 3.2m for an EBITDA margin of 38.7 % ( 40.2 % Q120 ). The quarterly profit figure was € 1.1m .
The casino vertical generated the majority of Raketech ’ s revenue at 82.5 %, up 4.2 %, with sports betting amounting to 17 % of revenue .

The group diversified its regional focus : revenues from the Nordic region dropped 21 % to 65 % and revenues from other markets increased 21 % to 35.1 %, with Japan and the US performing strongly during the period .
EASTERN EYE
The fact that non-Nordic revenue increased to 35 % of total revenues , an all-time high , showed a significant move in the company ’ s drive to diversify away from its home markets . Japan , in particular , is the standout now , representing 11 % of the total . On the earnings call , chief executive Oskar Mühlbach said of Japan that it was “ a very interesting market ”, adding , “ We would expect doubledigit growth in Japan for the foreseeable future .”
As for elsewhere , the company said the US openings in Michigan and Virginia “ significantly pushed the needle ”. This partly offset the issues in Denmark and Norway , with payment blocking being the issue in the latter case .
