Notes

New customers are primarily joining through our Sportsbook, which is the most efficient source of activations. These customers are then subsequently introduced to our other products. This has resulted in a positive impact across the rest of Betfair's business, with increases of 20% and 74% respectively in the number of first-time Exchange and Gaming users.

The Exchange remains our key differentiator and total trading volume increased to £55.3bn (FY14: £52.8bn)

Our Sportsbook has continued to perform strongly for what is still a comparatively new product in a competitive market. Volumes were up 140% during the year to £1.2bn (FY14: £0.5bn)

Over 70% of Sportsbook revenue now comes through mobile, with the channel responsible for the majority of new UK customer activations and 80% of UK Sportsbook customers now transacting via mobile.

Gaming revenue increased by 34% to £88.5m (FY14: £66.2m)

Betfair US revenue increased by 29% to £58.8m (FY14: £45.7m)

Average headcount during the year of 1,901 was 9% higher than the prior year (FY14: 1,739)

Our share of operating profit in Betfair Australia was £0.1m (FY14: loss of £1.2m), relating to the period up until the disposal of the business.

Depends on if Breon can continue to cut costs on the exchange and boost margin and turnover on the sportsbook.
