Gambling.com Group Limited, a leading provider of digital marketing services for the global online gambling industry, reported record third quarter financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company also reiterated its guidance for 2023 full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

Charles Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Gambling.com Group, said: “Our third quarter results highlight our consistent performance driven by robust organic growth in North America. Even in what is traditionally a seasonally slow quarter, we grew new depositing customers 26% to surpass 86,000 which contributed to 19% revenue growth to $23.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $6.1 million and Free Cash Flow of $1.6 million.

“Third quarter North American revenue of $12.9 million includes significant growth in our owned assets and a break-out performance from our media partnerships at the start of the Fall sports season. Our ability to quickly scale our strategic media partnerships complements the growth from our influential owned websites. This results in consistent year-over-year market share gains in existing states even as we face tougher comparisons given the significant organic growth we have already achieved. Our strong North American growth was partially offset by a moderation in our U.K and Ireland performance following seven consecutive quarters of average revenue growth of 28% across these well-established markets. We are confident that our growth opportunities in the UK and Ireland markets will remain strong, including the expected benefit from the ramping up of our recently launched media partnership with The Independent for the U.K market.

“Gambling.com Group is expected to continue to benefit from many near- and long-term opportunities to deliver profitable organic growth. These include further market share gains in existing markets, the benefit from expected future expansions of iGaming and online sports betting in new markets in North America and around the world, our ability to scale and optimize our media partnerships and further growth in our more established European markets. We expect that our ability to leverage these revenue drivers with our business model, which generates attractive Adjusted EBITDA margins and strong Free Cash Flow conversion, will continue to increase shareholder value.”

Third Quarter 2023 and Recent Business Highlights

Grew North American revenue 42% to $12.9 million
Delivered more than 86,000 new depositing customers
Launched the all new Casinos.com in July
Successfully launched the Company’s first international media partnership in July with The Independent in the UK
Successfully launched operations in Kentucky just before the quarter end on September 28.

Elias Mark, Chief Financial Officer of Gambling.com Group, said: “Third quarter revenue exceeded expectations and Adjusted EBITDA was in line with expectations, reflecting the faster than anticipated acceleration of our North American media partnerships. We are very pleased with the performance of our media partnerships and we expect them to continue to be a key contributor to revenue and cash flow growth going forward. Our year-to-date revenue growth combined with our disciplined focus on capital efficiency generated Free Cash Flow for the first nine months of 2023 of $16.3 million, already exceeding our full-year 2022 level. We remain on track to deliver strong full year results as our reiterated guidance implies year-over-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth of more than 30% and 50%, respectively.”
