Here is what Donville Kent Asset Management has to say about NeoGames S.A. (NASDAQ:NGMS) in its Q4 2021 investor letter:

NeoGames (NGMS) provides a comprehensive technology platform for stateregulated lotteries that provides everything they need in order to run their iLotteries (online games). Services include games, regulation & compliance, payment processing, risk management and player management. NeoGames has a highly profitable partnership with Pollard Banknote (NeoPollard) that complicates their reported financials. The economics of the partnership get reported as “Share in profits of joint venture” and their interest in the revenues doesn’t get reported as revenue on the financial statements. Combine these factors while taking into consideration the highly accretive acquisition of Aspire Global announced recently, which we feel will close imminently, and NeoGames is one of the highest growth and cheapest stocks in the market. We have been adding to this position during this correction.”
