Rank Group Reports Strong Q3 Growth Across All Divisions
Rank Group Reports Solid Performance in Q3 2026
The UK-based gambling company, Rank Group, recently released its fiscal third-quarter report for the period ending March 31, 2026. The results showcase steady growth in every segment, underscoring the company’s robust business foundation.
Key Financial Highlights for Q3 and Year-To-Date
According to the official report published on April 15, Rank Group achieved net gaming revenue (NGR) of GBP 205.4 million ($278.3 million) during Q3, reflecting a 5% increase compared to the previous year. Year to date, the company’s NGR rose 6% to reach GBP 625.2 million ($847.1 million).
Performance Breakdown by Division
The Grosvenor venues division contributed significantly with an NGR of GBP 95 million ($128.7 million) in Q3, representing a 5% rise year-on-year (YoY). For the year to date, Grosvenor’s NGR totaled GBP 299 million ($405.1 million), marking a 6% increase YoY. Despite ongoing uncertainties in international travel, these venues maintained strong footfall, with gaming machines standing out as the fastest-growing product category, growing 10% and still offering room for further expansion.
Mecca venues generated an NGR of GBP 37.8 million ($51.2 million) during Q3, also up 5% YoY. Year-to-date, Mecca’s NGR rose 5% to GBP 107.6 million ($145.8 million). The division is expected to deliver double-digit operating profit in the 2026/27 fiscal year, aided by the recent removal of the Bingo Duty.
Meanwhile, Enracha venues posted Q3 NGR of GBP 11.7 million ($15.8 million), a 9% YoY increase, and year-to-date NGR of GBP 34 million ($46.1 million), up 7%. This strong performance was largely driven by a 27% surge in gaming machine revenue within this segment.
The Digital division achieved GBP 60.9 million ($82.5 million) in NGR for the quarter, which is a 4% increase YoY. On a year-to-date basis, digital revenue climbed 6% to GBP 184.6 million ($250.1 million). Growth was more moderate in the UK at 2%, influenced by the rise in gaming taxes recently implemented, while international digital operations experienced a robust 14% growth.
Outlook and Strategic Direction
Considering the company’s current trajectory, Rank Group now anticipates that its full-year underlying like-for-like operating profit will be at least GBP 68 million ($92.1 million). This projection accounts for fluctuations in energy costs, although no significant impact on profits is currently expected for this or the following fiscal year.
Interim CEO Richard Harris expressed satisfaction with the broad-based revenue gains, despite challenging economic conditions. He highlighted the company’s strong resilience, customer appeal, and ongoing growth initiatives as key strengths moving forward.
“These results highlight the solid foundation of our business, the appeal of our offerings, and the effectiveness of our growth plans.”

Rank Group plans to announce its preliminary financial results for the full fiscal year 2025/26 on August 13, 2026.
