By 菲尔 -15年2017月XNUMX日
The largest shareholder of Casinos Austria, the Czech Sazka Group, ‘intends to acquire the sole control of Casinos Austria’ according to a statement published by the Federal Competition Authority (BWB).
Sazka Group, which runs the Czech national lottery, is owned by Czech businessmen Karel Komarek and Jiri Smejc. It said it had bought more shares in Casinos Austria to take its shareholding from 11.3 per cent to about 34 per cent.
The second largest shareholder is the state owned ÖBIB with 33.2 per cent followed by Novomatic with 17.2 per cent. Novomatic had tried to take control of the company last year but failed in the courts. It is not believed to be interested in selling its shares.
Casinos Austria and Austrian Lotteries Group have just reported the best financial year in their 50-year corporate history with an eight per cent rise in group revenues to a record €3,885.95m. Sustained investments in improving and extending its portfolio as well as measures to improve efficiency also led to the group achieving clear increases in results: operating results rose by 49 per cent to €150.1m, while group consolidated results were up by 65 per cent to €91.2m.
顾客和嘉宾也值得庆祝，他们总共赢得了 2.7 亿欧元的奖金，比 11.3 年增长了 2015%，再创历史新高。
12 年，奥地利 10.6 家国内赌场的游客人数比上年增长了 2016%：这些赌场总共接待了 3,009,946 名客人，其中一半以上是国际游客。这反过来导致博彩收入强劲增长，同比增长 5.2% 至 326.83 亿欧元。
