Chief Executive Officer Commentary

Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg, commented: "In the second quarter, we delivered revenues of EUR 24.9 million (USD 26.6 million), a new quarterly record and increase of 0.5% year over year, reflecting a robust business performance diversified over several growing iGaming markets and in-demand product verticals. As expected, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA were down 10.3% and 23.8% year over year respectively, as our product mix has changed. However, I am encouraged by recent momentum for our higher margin products including for our proprietary iGaming content in North America, and from launches of new customers powered by Bragg’s Player Account Management (“PAM”) and turnkey solutions. I am also pleased with sequential growth in revenue (+4.4%), gross profit (+4.4%) and Adjusted EBITDA (+6.0%) compared to the first quarter of the year, a timeframe during which our product mix has remained consistent, and I am confident that we have the products, the strategy and the expertise in place to be able to continue to grow our revenues and profit margins in the second half of the year and into 2025.

“We have taken decisive steps to bolster our leadership team, expand our presence in key markets worldwide, and make significant inroads in the U.S. market. With Bragg’s overall share of the U.S. iGaming content supplier market still estimated at below 1%, our expanding distribution in the United States along with our extensive distribution reach in regulated markets globally, represents a huge upside opportunity for the Company, which is now licensed, certified or otherwise compliant with relevant local regulations in more than 30 jurisdictions. In the U.S. we are pleased to be on track to more than double our wagering volume this year compared to 2023, and we look forward to continuing the trend into future years. Looking ahead, I am confident that the seeds we are planting today - in the U.S., in content, and in our technology platform - will yield a robust harvest in the future. We are building a stronger, more agile Bragg that, along with our U.S. distribution and global reach, is poised to capitalize on the immense opportunities that lie ahead in the worldwide iGaming market."

Recent Business Highlights

  • Launched full turnkey solution to power the Hard Rock Casino brand in the Netherlands, securing sixth PAM customer as part of Bragg’s strategic goal of being the leading technology and content supplier to the Dutch market
  • Launched third-party sportsbooks with Betnation.nl (Metric), ComeOn.nl (Metric) and 711.nl (Kambi) in the Netherlands, leveraging relationships with sports betting technology partners, underscoring Bragg’s continued commitment to be the preferred iGaming technology and content supplier in the Dutch market.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release contains forward-looking statements or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (“forward-looking statements”), including, without limitation, statements with respect to the following: the Company’s strategic growth initiatives and corporate vision and strategy; financial guidance for 2024, expected performance of the Company’s business; expansion into new markets, our strategy for customer retention, growth, product development, and market position; expected future growth and expansion opportunities; expected benefits of transactions; expected future actions and decisions of regulators and the timing and impact thereof. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future and allowing readers to get a better understanding of the Company’s anticipated financial position, results of operations, and operating environment. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or describes a “goal”, or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

All forward-looking statements contained in this news release or the conference call reflect the Company’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the statements were made. Actual results or events may differ from those predicted in these forward-looking statements. All of the Company’s forward-looking statements are qualified by the assumptions that are stated or inherent in such forward-looking statements, including the assumptions listed below. Although the Company believes that these assumptions are reasonable, this list is not exhaustive of factors that may affect any of the forward-looking statements. The key assumptions that have been made in connection with the forward-looking statements include the regulatory regime governing the business of the Company; the operations of the Company; the products and services of the Company; the Company’s customers; the growth of Company’s business, meeting minimum listing requirements of the stock exchanges on which the Company’s shares trade; the integration of technology; and the anticipated size and/or revenue associated with the gaming market globally.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: risks related to the Company’s business and financial position; that the Company may not be able to accurately predict its rate of growth and profitability; risks associated with general economic conditions; adverse industry events; future legislative and regulatory developments; the inability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; the inability to access sufficient capital on favourable terms; realization of growth estimates, income tax and regulatory matters; the ability of the Company to implement its business strategies; competition; economic and financial conditions, including volatility in interest and exchange rates, commodity and equity prices; changes in customer demand; disruptions to our technology network including computer systems and software; natural events such as severe weather, fires, floods and earthquakes; any disruptions to operations as a result of the strategic alternatives review process; and risks related to health pandemics and the outbreak of communicable diseases. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Statements in this news release make reference to “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is a non-IFRS (as defined herein) financial measure that the Company believes is appropriate to provide meaningful comparison with, and to enhance an overall understanding of, the Company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. The Company believes that “Adjusted EBITDA” provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses and items that management believe are not indicative of the Company’s core operating results. “Adjusted EBITDA” is a financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). As there is no standardized method of calculating “Adjusted EBITDA”, it may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company considers “Adjusted EBITDA” to be a relevant indicator for measuring trends in performance and its ability to generate funds to service its debt and to meet its future working capital and capital expenditure requirements. “Adjusted EBITDA” is not a generally accepted earnings measure and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), cash flows or other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is more fully defined and discussed, and reconciliation to IFRS financial measures is provided, in Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 2024.
