Tatts lifts full year profit
Lotteries and gaming operator Tatts Group has boosted its full year profit by 16 per cent.
Tatts made a net profit of $319.1 million in the year to June 30, up from $275.4 million in the previous 12 months.
The company on Thursday said it had benefited from the integration of NSW Lotteries into its business, plus one more Saturday than in the previous 12 months due to 2012 being a leap year.
"Saturday is an important contributor to the company's lottery, wagering and gaming machine businesses," Tatts said in a statement.
The company expects its margins to improve in the 2012/13 financial year, due to the anticipated lack of restructuring costs in the NSW Lotteries business.
Tatts's pokies business will also stop operating during the 2012/13 year.
"Importantly, Tatts Pokies will exit the company with a small contribution and not drag on profits generated elsewhere as a result of redundancy costs," the company said.
Tatts declared a fully-franked final dividend of 12 cents per share, up from 11 cents in the previous year.

Tatts says fiscal 2013 has started well
by: By Trevor Chappell
TATTS Group says the new financial year has started well, after boosting its annual profit in fiscal 2012 by almost 16 per cent.
The lotteries, wagering and former poker machines operator reported a net profit of $319.1 million for the 2011/12 financial year, up 15.9 per cent from the prior 12-month period.
The company said on Thursday that it had benefited from the integration of NSW Lotteries into its business, plus one more Saturday than in the previous 12 months due to 2012 being a leap year.
Tatts said Saturday was an important contributor to the company's lottery, wagering and gaming machine businesses.
Tatts chief executive Dick McIlwain said business so far in the current financial year was "clicking along okay".
The lotteries business was ahead of budget; the TattsBet wagering operations, which now included Tote Tasmania, were achieving double-digit revenue growth; and the UK gaming business, Talarius, was eking out some sales growth.
"So it all looks pretty good, going into the future," Mr McIlwain said during a market briefing.
Mr McIlwain said the end to the Tatts poker machine operations this year would see some profits fall away.
But Tatts was not frightened by the consensus forecasts among market analysts of $490 million in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and net profit of $210 million to $215 million for fiscal 2013.
Tatts and rival Tabcorp lost their duopoly over the operation of poker machines outside of Melbourne's Crown casino on August 15 and poker machines are now operated by clubs and pubs.
In 2011/12, the pokies operations booked a 13.1 per cent lift in earnings to $225.1 million.
Earnings from the poker machines business had benefited from the sale of gaming machines to clubs and pubs.
The Tatts Lotteries business lifted its earnings by 15.8 per cent to $202.6 million, boosted by the favourable calendar and NSW Lotteries.
The integration of NSW Lotteries had been contemplated in May, and fiscal 2013 would get the benefit of a fully restructured business.
Tatts said the prospects for Tatts Lotteries were encouraging, with margins for the Northern Territory lottery increasing and SA (South Australia) Lotteries moving through a sales process.
The TattsBet wagering business lifted earnings by 0.5 per cent to $124.1 million.
Tatts said revenue was increasing as punters moved from totalisator betting to fixed-price betting.
Also, the addition of Tote Tasmania into the TattsBet portfolio had started to deliver significant benefits.
Tatts said its UK slot machine and internet gaming business, Talarius, had grown sales after three years of decline, but additional machine turnover had not translated into revenue growth because of an increase in VAT and foreign exchange translation.
Talarius had taken over the rights to operate gaming facilities at seven new motorway service stations and would acquire another three "high street" venues.
Tatts shares were seven cents lower at $2.79 on Thursday.
