New York conversationsThe full agenda12:30-13:20Panel 1: PE and gamingPrivate dancing: With the era of cheap money long since at an end, it means private equity now has to truly prove its worth. But what can it bring to the gaming space? What is PE's track record in gaming? What do the panel think are the obvious targets for PE involvement on the public and the private side? The panelists:
13.20-14:10Panel 2: Billion-dollar babies: the swing to profitabilityCash pile: What does the swing to profitability and the emergence of the billion-dollar EBITDA behemoths mean for the rest of the US OSB and iCasino sector? As the profits pile up for the sector leaders from 2025 onwards, what does that mean for the rest of the sector? How will this cash be deployed? Does it mean more M&A or will it be handed back to investors? The panelists:
E+M backgrounder: DraftKings and FanDuel duopoly is the “real battle” for investors, say analysts. 14:10-15:00Panel 3: Safe European home: what do withdrawals from North America say about future ambitions?Tail between their legs: What can and should managements say to assuage investors’ worries over the wasted cash spent on North American adventures – and what should they tell them about the future? The failure of many European companies to crack North America is a well-known trend and it can be assumed that many will already or soon enough be calling it quits. But what does that say about their future ambitions? The panelists:
E+M backgrounder: Kindred pulls the plug on its North American ambitions; 888 sells its US B2C operations to Hard Rock Digital. 15:00-15:50Panel 4: No more worlds to conquer: what happens when the bolt-on deals dry up?A juddering halt: The trend towards adding more brands and more markets to the portfolios of the largest operators has been at the forefront of the M&A activity in Europe and elsewhere. But with value enhancing deals being harder to come by and shareholders frustration about expensive further deals, is the bolt-on juggernaut coming to a stop? Panelists:
E+M backgrounder: Moelis appointed to look at potential disposals at Entain. 15:50-16:20Networking break16:20-17:10Panel 5: Short-term memory: have investors forgotten about iCasinoNever gonna give you up: Much of the attention until now has understandably been on sports betting in the US given the lack of progress for state-by-state iCasino. But while the legislative journey will be fraught, more iCasino will be on the agenda and that once again opens up opportunities for more operators to share in the rewards. But are investors listening to this long-term play? Panelists:
E+M backgrounder: Caesars’ success with iCasino is underappreciated, say analysts. 17:10-18:00Panel 6: Under attack: activists besiege the gaming sectorThe emergence of high-profile activist investors on the shareholder registers of a number of firms in the gaming sector has brought with it headlines and increased speculation about the intentions of the funds in question. But what explains the flurry of interest? Is the presence of activist investors necessarily good or bad for the companies in question? And what does activist interest say about the sector's prospects and the likelihood of more M&A? The session will consist of a short presentation from Alvarez & Marsal followed by a panel discussion. Panelists:
E+M backgrounder: The betting and gaming sector is overrun by strategic reviews – and activists have been stirring the pot. 18:30-20:00Happy Hour on the NYSE Trading FloorJoin us!If any subscribers want to attend the event, some tickets are still available.
