William Hill half-year revenue rises, plans to expand in U.S.
Aug 3 (Reuters) - British betting company William Hill Plc on Friday posted a 3 percent rise in half-year revenue, benefiting from its online sportsbook and FIFA World Cup betting.
However, the company posted a pre-tax loss of 802.3 million pounds compared to a profit of 108.6 million pounds last year, as it took a non-cash charge of 915.9 million pounds mainly for repositioning its retail business because of betting regulatory changes in Britain.
William Hill, in a separate release, announced a plan to expand in the United States.
