Loto‑Québec has issued a year-to-date report demonstrating positive revenue growth in the first nine months of the fiscal year.
For the period from April 1 to December 19 2025, the operator has generated around CA$2.3bn in total revenues – that’s an uptick of 2.6% compared with the same period in the previous year.
Consolidated net income got as high as CA$1.139bn for those nine months; that’s up by CA$7.1m, or 0.6%, year-over-year.
President and CEO, Jean-François Bergeron, commented on the report, saying: “Our growing results reflect an organization in motion, driven by committed teams, who are working to evolve our offering in all our sectors. This performance results from constant progress since the beginning of the fiscal year.”
Bergeron also touched on other milestones during the period, for instance the launch of its ‘play well’ brand, designed to encourage lower-risk gambling practices.
The company chief was keen to celebrate an increase in foot traffic, pointing out that average spend in the casinos is around CA$100 per visit.
Divided by sector, casinos and gaming halls generated CA$976.6m, for lotteries that figure was slightly less at CA$721m; and for gaming establishments it was CA$616.4m.
Other highlights from Q3 included the opening of Loto-Québec’s fourth gaming hall, something that could well contribute to further growth in that segment in the future.
The new venue was opened at the Delta Hotel in Saguenay and the press conference was attended by various elected local government officials, demonstrating strong local support for the project.
In total, more than CA$1.3bn has been awarded to lottery winners during the first three quarters of the financial year
