Bragg Gaming Group, a global B2B content-driven iGaming technology provider, today reported record financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. The company also provided an update on its strategic growth initiatives and updated its growth targets for 2023 revenue and adjusted EBITDA.

Chief Executive Officer commentary:

“Bragg Gaming Group concluded a transformational 2022 with another quarter of record results as fourth quarter revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA grew significantly compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and exceeded our prior expectations,” said Yaniv Sherman, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg Gaming Group. “In the fourth quarter of 2022, we generated year over year revenue growth of 50.3% to €23.7 million (US$25.5 million), a 61.6% increase in gross profit to €13.0 million (US$14.0 million), a 390-basis point improvement in gross profit margin to 54.9%, and a 128.3% increase in adjusted EBITDA to €3.6 million (US$3.9 million). These record results highlight Bragg Gaming Group’s ongoing substantial momentum as we continue to successfully diversify our operations from serving primarily central-European iGaming markets to become a global, content-led, iGaming solutions provider with extensive distribution across North America and Europe. Our successful execution on our operating priorities is also evident in our record full-year results, as revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA grew 45.3%, 59.2% and 64.0%, respectively, over the 2021 full-year period.

“With the full integration of our Wild Streak Gaming and Spin Games acquisitions and our four game development studios hitting their stride and consistently growing their game development output, Bragg Gaming Group has the foundation to scale as a global business. Reflecting our content-led focus, since the beginning of 2022, we have launched our new proprietary and exclusive third-party content with six operators in three US markets as well as in multiple additional global iGaming markets.

“Our ability to generate consistent revenue and margin growth reflects our approach to differentiate our iGaming content by internally developing a steady stream of player-popular games (20 games across the globe in 2022) complemented by exclusive third-party games from leading development studios (23 games in 2022). This approach provides our operating partners with content that engages their players at higher levels as the peak revenue generation of our newest premium proprietary and third-party games has been excellent and the performance tail for these games is significantly longer than similar games. We are confident that the acceleration of our development of proprietary games and third-party exclusive games will help us gain further market share in our existing markets as well as in new markets, particularly in North America.

“We are executing well on our many growth opportunities to deliver profitable revenue growth and increasing cash flow going forward. In addition to our content focus, our growth drivers include our ability to provide an industry-leading PAM and our state-of-the art FUZE game-optimization technology to drive higher player engagement, which results in higher revenues and lifetime player value for iGaming operators. We also expect the development and introduction of proprietary games in North America and Europe will accelerate in the second half of 2023, which will further benefit our margins and drive our operating momentum. As a result, our outlook for 2023 revenue of €93-97 million (US$100.0-104.3 million) and adjusted EBITDA of €14.5-16.5 million (US$15.6-17.7 million) – with the midpoints of the ranges representing year-over-year growth of 12% and 28%, respectively – demonstrates the strength of our operating model. We are excited about the opportunities 2023 presents as we continue to execute on our strategic priorities to create long-term shareholder value.”

Fourth-quarter 2022 and recent business highlights:

* Bragg Gaming Group’s new content went live in Michigan with BetMGM
* Entered Belgium market with debut partner Napoleon Sports and Casino
* Entered into an agreement with Sega Sammy Creation Incorporated (SSC) for the exclusive rights to distribute select titles from SSC’s popular content portfolio to iGaming operators in the US, UK and other global markets
* The company’s new content recently went live in New Jersey with Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, DraftKings, Rush Street Interactive’s Betrivers.com, and Resorts Digital Gaming.

Fourth-quarter 2022 financial results and other key metrics highlights:

* Revenue increased by 50.3% to €23.7 million (US$25.5 million) compared to €15.8 million (US$17.0 million) in 4Q21.
* Wagering revenue generated by customers of €5.1 billion (US$5.5 billion) increased from €3.1 billion (US$3.3 billion) in 4Q21.
* Gross profit increased 61.6% to €13.0 million (US$14.0 million) from €8.0 million (US$8.6 million) in 4Q21, representing a gross profit margin of 54.9%. Gross profit in 4Q22 reflects a change in product mix towards turn-key Player Account Management (PAM) customers, managed services and proprietary content, resulting in improved gross profit and adjusted EBITDA compared to the year-ago period.
* Net loss for the period was €0.9 million (US$1.0 million), an improvement from a net loss of €2.0 million (US$2.2 million) in 4Q21, primarily due to the higher gross profit partially offset by an increase in total employee costs, depreciation and amortization, IT and hosting costs, transactional and exceptional costs, sales and marketing expense and other operational and travel costs.
* Adjusted EBITDA was €3.6 million (US$3.9 million), an increase of 128.3% compared to €1.6 million (US$1.7 million) in 4Q21, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.4%, compared to 10.1% in 4Q21.

* Net loss for the period was €3.5 million (US$3.8 million), an improvement from a net loss of €7.5 million (US$8.1 million) in 2021, primarily due to the higher gross profit partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and a gain on the remeasurement of deferred consideration.
* Adjusted EBITDA was €12.1 million (US$13.0 million), an increase of 64.0% compared to €7.4 million (US$8.0 million) in 2021, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.2%, compared to 12.6% in 2021.
* Cash flow from operations was €5.8 million (US$6.2 million), an increase of €5.7 compared to €0.1 million (US$0.1 million) cash flow from operations in 2021.
* Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 was €11.3 million (US$12.2 million) and net working capital, excluding deferred consideration, was €6.6 million (US$7.1 million).

Updated full-year 2023 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance:

Bragg Gaming Group provided an update on its expectation for 2023 full-year revenue adjusted EBITDA growth with revenue expected to rise approximately 10% to 15% to a range of €93-97 million (US$100.0-104.3 million) and adjusted EBITDA expected to increase approximately 20% to 36% to a range of €14.5-16.5 million (US$15.6-17.7 million). Given the stronger than previously anticipated 4Q22 revenue and adjusted EBITDA, Bragg Gaming Group’s updated guidance reflects an increase from the initial expectations provided at the time the company reported 3Q22 results in November 2022.
