Elys Game Technology Reports Third Quarter 2023 Business and Financial Results
NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Elys Game Technology, Corp. (“Elys” or the “Company”) (OTC:ELYS) (BER:3UW), an interactive gaming and sports betting technology company, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Third Quarter and Recent Operational Highlights
- Established a multiyear market access agreement with Caesars Entertainment, unlocking access to the Colorado sports betting market. The strategic agreement signals Elys’ first entry into the North American mobile sports betting landscape. Pending regulatory approvals, the Company expects to launch its U.S. mobile sportsbook operations in Colorado in 2024.
- Introduced www.SportBet.com, the Company’s new online and mobile sports betting brand for the United States market. The “5D by Elys” mobile app is included under the brand, forming a comprehensive sports betting platform with cross-platform compatibility. This development positions Elys’ online sports betting launch under a highly recognizable, consumer-friendly brand.
- Completed installation of its North American hub infrastructure, successfully establishing a robust technology footprint for the expansion of Elys’ platform.
- Multigioco, an Elys subsidiary, unveiled its enhanced offerings in Italy with a revamped online casino, sports betting site, and mobile app. The significant relaunch in the Italian market improves player experience with optimized performance, speed, and a robust security profile while also setting the stage for meaningful cost savings by eliminating expenses associated with trading and risk management, platform development, and iGaming aggregation.
- Secured a third sportsbook location in Washington, D.C., expanding the Company’s footprint in the city and building upon the success of its small business sportsbook business model.
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Results compare 2023 fiscal third quarter end (September 30, 2023) to 2022 fiscal third quarter end (September 30, 2022) unless otherwise indicated.
- Total revenue decreased 11.8% to $8.5 million from $9.6 million in the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to higher payouts benefiting Elys’ sportsbook customers as well as a decrease in web-based turnover due to a reduction in online casino and poker offerings during the third quarter, thereby reducing our blended revenue conversion. At the end of September 2023, a historically quiet period for sports betting, the Company underwent a platform switchover that provides significantly enhanced online casino and poker offerings for our Italian operations. The switchover had an immaterial impact on online sportsbook revenue that was partially offset by an increase in land-based sportsbook revenue due to the activation of new physical locations. For the first nine months of 2023, total revenue increased by approximately $0.06 million.
- Total handle (turnover) decreased 2.4% to $162.6 million from $166.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease in handle in the third quarter was due to the reduction in web-based turnover caused by the aforementioned online casino and poker reduction ahead of the platform switchover. For the first nine months of 2023, the total handle increased 2.4% to $585.8 million consistent with the Company’s growth expectations.
- Operating expenses decreased 10.2% to $11.4 million from $12.7 million in the prior year period. The change is primarily attributable to decreases in general and administrative costs as well as a reduction in technology development costs. For the first nine months of 2023, overall operating costs continued to downtrend, with a reduction of $0.13 million, reflecting management’s commitment to profitability, despite the additional expenses incurred for U.S. and Canadian facing investments during the first nine months of 2023.
- Net loss from continuing operations was $(3.2) million, or $(0.10) per share, compared to $(3.8) million, or $(0.14) per share, in the prior year period. The change is primarily attributable to the decrease in loss from operations, despite lower revenues and a reduction in other non-operating expenses of $0.3 million compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2023, net loss was $(9.1) million, or $(0.27) per share, compared to $(11.1) million, or $(0.41) per share, in the prior year period.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $2.6 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $3.4 million at December 31, 2022.
Management Commentary
“In Q3, we laid critical foundations for a large-scale expansion into the rapidly growing online sports betting market in the United States and Canada,” said Mike Ciavarella, Executive Chairman of Elys Game Technology Corp. “Over the past few years, we have executed our go-to-market strategy by making significant investments related to our product platform and infrastructure development for our future commercial operations in North America. Elys now stands at the inflection point where these investments begin to convert into revenues in 2024.
“Our www.SportBet.com website, complemented by our advanced platform and recent market access partnership with Caesars Entertainment, equips us to attract players nationwide over the coming quarters. The impending launch in Colorado serves as our initial online sports betting market entry point, and we regard our partnership with Caesars as a gateway to future opportunities in other states. At the same time, we are maintaining our solid and stable operations in the Italian market, where we recently introduced a revamped platform and all-new product lineup. This platform not only enhances the overall player experience but also incorporates changes that significantly reduce expenses and puts our Multigioco subsidiary on track to meet the Company’s profit goals through 2024.
“As we begin our strategic rollout into the vast addressable online sports betting market in the United States, we are confident in our ability to replicate our Italian success story. The U.S. sports betting opportunity contains decades of pent-up demand, and we expect to carve out significant market share with our ‘best odds’ approach and user-friendly platform as our experience in Italy demonstrates. Our measured and strategic approach to this vast market sets us apart. Through meticulous study of player behavior and regulatory dynamics, we aim to emerge as a responsible and formidable operator in the budding U.S. market, extracting long-term value for Elys shareholders.”
Update on the Listing of Common Shares
On October 13, 2023, Elys Game Technology received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that trading of its common shares would be suspended as of the opening of business on October 17, 2023. As a result, Elys’ common shares began trading on the OTC markets in October, where they continue to trade today.
To prioritize the value for its shareholders, the Company will remain listed on the OTC Markets until further analysis of the exchange listing of our common shares is completed. Elys’ management team and board of directors are diligently assessing various major listing venues to determine the most strategic path forward, one that will ultimately offer the best opportunity to maximize shareholder value in the long term.
