(AsiaGameHub) –   Rank Group, a UK-based gambling company, has released its report for the third fiscal quarter, covering the three months ending March 31, 2026. The report indicated consistent growth across all its business segments, underscoring the company’s robust performance.

Rank Group Highlighted Q3 as a Strong Period for Its Business

In its official filing on April 15, the group announced that its net gaming revenue (NGR) for the third quarter reached GBP 205.4 million ($278.3 million), representing a steady 5% increase. On a year-to-date basis, the company’s NGR stood at GBP 625.2 million ($847.1 million), marking a 6% rise compared to the previous year.

An examination of the company’s divisional performance reveals that the Grosvenor venues contributed GBP 95 million ($128.7 million) to the Q3 2025/26 NGR, an increase of 5% year-over-year. For the year-to-date period, the Grosvenor division reported NGR of GBP 299 million ($405.1 million), up 6% year-over-year.

Rank Group noted that its Grosvenor venues continued to attract strong visitor numbers, even amidst ongoing global travel uncertainties. The company also highlighted that gaming machines emerged as the fastest-growing product category, with a 10% increase and further potential for expansion.

The Mecca venues, meanwhile, generated Q3 NGR of GBP 37.8 million ($51.2 million), a 5% year-over-year increase. For the year-to-date period, this segment achieved NGR of GBP 107.6 million ($145.8 million), a 5% rise. The group indicated that Mecca venues are on track to achieve double-digit operating profit in the 2026/27 fiscal year, supported by the recent elimination of Bingo Duty.

Enracha venues recorded Q3 NGR of GBP 11.7 million ($15.8 million) and YTD NGR of GBP 34 million ($46.1 million). These figures represent year-on-year growth of 9% and 7%, respectively. The company attributed this strong performance primarily to the significant growth in gaming machines, which saw a 27% increase.

Finally, the Digital division reported NGR of GBP 60.9 million ($82.5 million), a 4% increase year-over-year. On a year-to-date basis, the digital segment’s NGR grew by 6% to GBP 184.6 million ($250.1 million). While growth in the UK was more modest at 2% due to the impact of recent gaming tax increases, the segment experienced a robust 14% growth internationally.

Rank Group Bullish on Medium-Term Objective

Based on its current performance, Rank Group anticipates its full-year underlying like-for-like operating profit to reach at least GBP 68 million ($92.1 million). The company stated that this projection accounts for energy cost volatility, though it is not expected to materially affect profitability in the current or upcoming year.

Richard Harris, interim CEO of the group, expressed satisfaction with the company’s revenue growth across all areas, despite prevailing macroeconomic challenges.

The results demonstrate the resilience of the business, the strength of the customer proposition and the growth initiatives we have in place.
