Evolution (ISIN SE0012673267) completed the cancellation of 16,168,492 treasury shares during September, leaving 183,058,121 shares and votes as of September 30, 2026, according to Evolution. The capital action gives the buyback program a clear numerical endpoint, while the stock also posted a measurable intraday gain on October 1, 2026.

Share count falls by 16.17 million

The canceled shares were held in treasury after the extraordinary general meeting approved the transaction on September 22, 2026. The company had previously authorized cancellation of up to 19,922,661 shares, so the completed reduction represents 81.36 percent of that ceiling, calculated from the figures in the release.

The move changes the share base rather than the operating model. Evolution remains a B2B supplier of live casino and online casino solutions, with the company describing 870 operators among its customers in the same release.

Second-quarter revenue reached EUR 517.8 million

Operationally, Evolution reported EUR 517.8 million of net revenue in the second quarter of 2026, down 1.20 percent from the same quarter a year earlier but up 0.90 percent from the first quarter, according to Yahoo Finance. EBITDA was EUR 341.0 million, equal to a 65.90 percent margin, while profit for the period reached EUR 251.4 million.

That combination matters because revenue growth remained modest on a year-over-year basis, yet profitability stayed high. The second-quarter EBITDA margin therefore remains the main operating counterweight to the share-count story and the market's sensitivity to regional regulation.

October 23 brings the next report

Evolution's investor calendar schedules the January to September 2026 interim report for October 23, 2026, according to the company's investor-relations page. That release will give investors the next direct test of revenue momentum, margin discipline and the effect of the company's capital allocation.
