Strategic moves and future outlook
For the full year of 2023, IGTs revenue increased by 2 percent year-on-year to $4.3 billion. Both global gaming and 바카라Digital improved their revenue by 9 percent each, while global lottery decreased by 2 percent. Operating income saw improvements across all three main verticals, with 바카라Digital witnessing the largest rise of 32 percent. The total adjusted EBITDA for 2023 was set at a record $1.8 billion, up 7 percent from 2022, mainly due to higher operating income and amortisation.
IGT CEO Vince Sadusky expressed satisfaction with the companys performance, stating that a compelling array of products and solutions fuelled broad-based momentum in key performance indicators. He also highlighted the companys recent decision to split the business into separate lottery and gaming companies, which he believes will better position each company to service customers and create significant value for stakeholders.

Despite the challenges, IGTs strategic moves and strong leadership have positioned it for future growth. As the company navigates through these obstacles, it remains committed to its long-term expansion strategy, ready to shift the momentum and seize new opportunities.
