Operating profit hiked 53.5% year-on-year to SEK401.6 million, while operating margin increased from 30.7% to 35.5%.

Elsewhere, profit after tax increased by 53.8% to SEK374 million, with earnings per share also jumping from SEK6.09 to SEK9.34 after dilution.

Other key results for the 12-month period include NetEnt signing 43 new licence agreements and the launch of 37 new customers’ casinos, while the company has proposed a dividend of SEK8 per share, up from SEK5 last year.

NetEnt also noted that its full-year performance was boosted by an impressive showing in the final quarter of the year, during which revenue hiked 34% year-on-year to SEK323.1 million and operating profit jumped 51.6% to SEK121.8 million.
