The company is currently resolving platform challenges in Spain and expects this market to contribute more meaningfully in the second quarter. Even with cost pressures mounting, Rank remains confident it can hit its profit targets for the year. Part of its growth strategy includes expanding the rollout of gaming machines across its venues.
In parallel, the group is in active talks with the Treasury to assess how potential tax policy changes could affect its operations and future planning.
