Light & Wonder Earnings: Strong Period as Highly Anticipated Dragon Train Arrives in the US

Light & Wonder continues to perform strongly. Underlying first-quarter EBITDA of USD 281 million was about 13% higher than the previous corresponding period. This broadly tracks our unchanged full-year forecast of USD 1.2 billion. This was primarily driven by the core gaming business, lifting underlying segment EBITDA 13% on the PCP to USD 232 million. We think much of this success comes down to the new Dragon Train game, which enjoys exceptional success in Australia.
