Inspired Entertainment, a leading B2B provider of content, technology, hardware, and services to the gaming industry, has unveiled the planned sale of its holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets.
Inspired Offloads Its Holiday Parks Business
In its official press release, Inspired Entertainment said that it has entered into a definitive agreement with entertainment giant GENDA Inc. to sell the aforementioned assets. Per the agreement, the latter company will pay $25.11 million in cash to acquire Inspired’s holiday parks business.
The sale agreement relates to Inspired’s business of operating some 11,000+ gaming machines located across 170 family entertainment centers and adult gaming centers in holiday parks across the United Kingdom. Inspired noted that this business is part of its broader Leisure segment.
The agreement is subject to customary adjustments and closing conditions, Inspired said. The company added that the transaction is anticipated to close in Q4 2025.
According to Inspire Entertainment, the $25.11 million in net proceeds it will receive from the transaction will help it to cover some of its outstanding debts.
The Deal Is Consistent with Inspired’s Strategy
Lorne Weil, Inspired’s executive chair, hailed the agreement, calling it “the next step in the ongoing evolution” of his company’s strategy. Weil added that the transaction aligns with the company’s continued transition to a more digital and scalable model that offers “strong long-term growth potential and a higher margin profile.”
The sale of the holiday parks business helps to further align our portfolio, increasing our digital EBITDA mix and improving our company-wide EBITDA margin. It also streamlines our operations, moving us towards a more agile, less capital and labor intensive structure with increased flexibility in capital allocation. Overall, it aligns with our strategy and our focus on building value sustainably over time.
