Revenue contributions in fiscal 2022 from GMGIâs B2B and B2C segments were $14.8 million and $21.2 million, respectively. There were no contributions from the (RKings) B2C segment during fiscal 2021, as GMGI had not acquired its 80 percent controlling ownership interest in RKings until the beginning of fiscal 2022. At the end of the fiscal year, GMGI exercised its option and acquired the remaining 20 percent interest. The revenues and adjusted EBITDA discussed above include the 20% non-controlling interest which was held in RKings during the year ended October 31, 2022.

The increase of general and administrative expenses â to $5,442,591 in fiscal 2022 from $1,264,672 in the prior year â was due primarily to $3,131,121 of G&A expenses from the Companyâs RKings B2C segment. The 83% year-over-year increase in G&A expenses in the B2B segment was due mainly to increases in marketing and payroll costs.
âThis has been a highly constructive year for our rapidly growing company,â said Golden Matrix CEO Brian Goodman, who continued, âWe believe the increased costs incurred and investments made in our B2B and B2C platforms have positioned GMGI to sustain and even accelerate our strong revenue growth. To remain competitive in the worldwide gaming industry, we are continually upgrading our systems and gaming content offerings to support the needs of our millions of participants.”
Mr. Goodman said, the entry into the agreement to purchase MeridianBet Group, announced recently (the âPurchase Agreementâ) and expected to be completed in the first half of the current year, “will significantly advance GMGIâs global footprint with numerous B2B and B2C product offerings on most continents and, we believe, create the opportunity for us to participate in online gambling markets in the U.S. and Canada.â
Mr Goodman further added, “The combined pro forma revenues of Golden Matrix and MeridianBet are expected to be greater than $100 million for FY2022, with an Adjusted EBITDA estimated to be greater than $22 million for the pro forma year ended October 31, 2022, making the combination financially appealing and earnings-accretive.â
Mr. Goodman said that GMGI expects to begin generating considerable revenues in the first half of this year via its B2C Mexican Casino, which offers Online Casino Games, Sportsbook and the successful RKings Tournament product and continued, âWe believe it should serve as the first major step toward GMGIâs planned expansion throughout Latin America.â
