According to Pollard Notes, many input costs skyrocketed between 30% and 50%.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s total cost of goods sold for the year increased by 8.8%, from $368.2 million to $400.5 million. The company stated the $32.3 million increase was primarily due to the aforementioned price increases in the instant ticketing area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our instant ticketing client agreements are primarily long-term fixed price contracts,&#8221; said John Pollard. &#8220;Therefore, in the short term, we are unable to pass on these significant cost increases, and our instant ticketing margins have experienced a very negative decline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These input cost increases have been ongoing throughout the year, leading to a negative impact on profits that has intensified over time.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Although Pollard Lottery Corporation has not faced any extra price hikes in this field so far this year, the business cautions that this does not necessarily imply prices will not increase.<\/p>\n<p>The company stated, &#8220;The substantial price increases that occurred in 2022 were implemented gradually throughout the year, with most of the higher costs being absorbed by the end of 2022.&#8221; &#8220;On a yearly basis, our production expenses will be greater in 2023, reflecting these continued higher cost levels throughout the year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead<\/p>\n<p>According to the company&#8217;s statement, it sees &#8220;substantial opportunities&#8221; in the iLottery market, both in the short and long term. Pollard Lottery Corporation participates in serving this segment through its subsidiary NeoPollard, a joint venture with NeoGames.<\/p>\n<p>Through this joint venture, the company has been involved in providing iLottery games since 2014, when it first secured a contract with the Michigan Lottery.<\/p>\n<p>The company stated that while growth in US iLottery has been a gradual process, it believes that &#8220;with our recent substantial investments in cutting-edge iLottery platforms and game content libraries, we believe Pollard is well-positioned to take advantage of these opportunities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the iGaming newsletter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pollard Bank Note Company, despite strong sales throughout the year and record-breaking income, witnessed&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v22.8) -
