The Jumbo Interactive Ltd (ASX: JIN) share price has spent the last two trading days firmly in the red.
In afternoon trade today, Jumbo shares are down 8.53% to $15.02. They also lost 8.5% yesterday, the same day the company reported its FY21 full-year results.
So what's behind these latest moves for the Jumbo Interactive share price? Let's dive in a little deeper to gain some insight.
A quick refresher on Jumbo Interactive
Jumbo Interactive is in the lottery business and has operations in Australia and Germany. It is recognised as a pioneer in Australian e-commerce after establishing one of the world's first online shopping outlets.
Jumbo's flagship service is Oz Lotteries, which is often abbreviated as Oz Lotto. This service has a turnover of more than $150 million in lottery ticket sales annually.
At the time of writing, Jumbo Interactive has a market capitalisation of $1.02 billion.
What's pushing the Jumbo Interactive share price lower?
Shares in the digital lottery business are on the decline despite the company reporting a robust financial performance in its FY21 earnings on Thursday.
In its report, Jumbo recognised a 37% increase in total transaction value (TTV) to reach $487 million. As a result, revenue also gained 17% year-on-year and underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) grew 13% to just shy of $50 million.
This came through to net profit after tax (NPAT) of $28 million, a 7% increase from the year prior. In addition, the company also reported a total FY21 dividend of 36.5 cents per share.
Jumbo also announced its full acquisition of Stride Management Inc on 26 August, which saw the company pay $11.7 million in available cash on its balance sheet. The transaction gives Jumbo a "strategic foothold" in the Canadian charity lottery market, which it says has "significant growth potential".
The transaction finalised on a net profit before tax (NBPT) multiple of 4.8 times, "based on forecast performance" for FY21.
Despite these seemingly positive points to the Jumbo Interactive share price, investors appear less than impressed by the lottery giant's progress.
Jumbo shares have sunk 17% over the last two days from the closing price of $18.28 on 25 August. The last time the Jumbo share price was at these levels was back in mid-June.
There is no market-sensitive information out of the company today. Therefore, it stands to reason that investors may be selling Jumbo Interactive shares on the back of its FY21 earnings report and/or the acquisition announcement.
