Martin Carlesund, CEO of Evolution, discussed the company's second-quarter 2026 results in an interview, describing the quarter as satisfactory with improving margins, strong cash flow, and revenue growth of 14.6% in RNG. He noted volatility in Asia but characterized European growth as a "small turnaround" that may remain unstable. Carlesund also addressed a settlement with the UK Gambling Commission, stating the company paid £4.75 million to resolve an 18-month investigation, which he said took too long and involved a "fairly small mistake" related to six sites. He declined to comment on the status of the Galaxy Gaming acquisition, noting the agreement remained in force as the time window expired. Carlesund also discussed the company's €2 billion share buyback program, saying it does not rule out future acquisitions due to a strong financial position, and explained the €300 million credit facility as a measure to ensure capital stability. He mentioned upcoming game launches, including Disco Balls in Q3 and new Monopoly Roll titles, and stated that major sports events like the football World Cup have not caused significant swings in player activity.
