Betfred has reported a return to profitability for the period ended March 30, 2025, with a profit after tax of about £129 million, driven by exiting some unprofitable overseas operations and stronger performance across divisions. Turnover was around £1.46 billion, with shops contributing roughly £895 million and online around £564 million. This follows a prior period loss, and came after the group ceased operations in several U.S. states and disposed of the Spanish business.
