Aristocrat suspends Russian operations but says earnings unaffected

Australian gaming giant Aristocrat Leisure Limited says it does not expect Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to have any material impact on earnings with the company currently assisting its local workforce in relocating.

In a Wednesday ASX filing, Aristocrat said it has around 1,000 people working for business units within Aristocrat’s Pixel United organization in Ukraine, of which it has helped around two-thirds voluntarily relocate either internationally or to safer locations within the country in recent weeks.

It has also established a special task force in Poland to assist staff and families on the ground by providing transport, visas and legal help, housing and settling-in assistance for relocated staff.
