SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING AND AFTER THE FOURTH QUARTER

With the acquisition Aspire Global has gained control of yet another crucial part of the iGaming value chain – creating synergies, broadening the game portfolio and providing a channel to distribute propriety games outside the partner network. The transaction had a positive effect on the company’s EBITDA already in Q4 2019.
• Aspire Global appealed against the lawsuit made by the Swedish Consumer Agency (“KO”) in October claiming that the company violated the marketing provisions of the Gaming- and Marketing acts.
• November 1st 2019, Aspire Global announced the coming entering into the regulated US market as Pariplay signed an agreement for New Jersey with longstanding partner 888casino.
• December 31st 2019, Aspire Global reached an agreement for a settlement with the Israeli Tax Authority in the previously disclosed tax audit.
STATEMENT FROM THE CEO
I am pleased to conclude that we have delivered another year of strong growth, despite changes in the market environment. Revenues increased by 26% to €131.4 million with an EBITDA margin of 16.5%, in line with our financial targets. We have proven that our strategy is efficient, and we have a solid foundation to continue to expand our business through organic growth and M&A.
We had a somewhat disappointing last quarter of the year due to new regulatory requirements in regulated markets, such as the UK, as well as markets to become regulated. Compliance is top on our agenda and we swiftly adapt to new regulatory requirements, knowing that our longer-term benefits are larger than the short-term impact. Our settlement with the Israeli tax authorities had a significant impact on net income and EPS in the quarter. Nonetheless, I am satisfied with the settlement as it provides the market with clarity around the outcome of the audit. The additional tax charge of €13.7 million is reported as a one-off tax item.
Growth for Pariplay in 2020
One of the highlights in the quarter is the successful integration of Pariplay where we already have realized some of the synergies. Pariplay contributed to revenues and EBITDA in the quarter with €3 million and €0.5 million respectively. The acquisition will create further cost synergies, strengthen our market presence in B2B, serve as our first footprint in the US and generate revenue streams outside our existing partners on our platform. The technical integration is completed, and we are happy to have all main third-party suppliers on board from the start. During the fourth quarter, Pariplay signed two new operator deals. We expect Pariplay to generate significant growth in 2020 with a positive effect on the Group’s EBITDA.
Material organic growth in 2019
In 2019 we continued to deliver on our growth strategy and accelerated the number of partners and brands as well as strengthened our offering. In the quarter, three new partnerships were signed, and seven new B2B-brands were launched. By year-end, we had 77 B2B-brands and 44 partners operating on our platform, which is a material increase from 2018. The B2B-segment grew by 43.4% in 2019, constituting 62.0% of Group revenues, while growth for B2C was around 5% following weaker performance due to new regulatory requirements, although partially compensated by other markets.
We see great interest in our recent verticals sports and bingo and several partners are looking to broaden their offering. Four B2B-brands are currently offering sportsbook and three launches are soon to come. Bingo is live with one B2B-brand and three launches are near, including Karamba.
Competitive advantages in the regulated landscape
We have given clear proof of our ability to grow with good profitability in regulated markets. In 2019, more than 50% of our revenues came from regulated and taxed markets. We welcome the trend where more markets become regulated. We believe it benefits companies like ours, with a sustainable growth strategy rather than a more opportunistic approach and we consider it to be a business opportunity. We will continue to strengthen our market position in the regulated landscape by expanding in the value chain. It grants us a unique, competitive advantage as current and future partners wish to enhance their potential in any jurisdiction. Thus, we continue the active search for acquisition opportunities and new projects across various parts of the value chain, in Europe as well as other parts of the world. We are confident in our integration skills and we have the financial strength to execute on our M&A-strategy.
Continued sustainable profitable growth
Our broad market presence and product offering give us a solid foundation for sustainable profitable growth. We will continue to enhance our multi-vertical offering while maintaining the search for M&A-opportunities, supported by our strong balance sheet. We are confident in our ability to meet our financial targets for 2021, €200 million in revenues and €32 million in EBITDA.

Boomerang Partners
Boomerang Partners announces the launch of the exclusive TIME TO WIN tournament for affiliates
Boomerang Partners has launched an exclusive affiliate tournament timed to coincide with a pivotal stretch of the 2026 global sports calendar. Running until 31 March, the activation operates under the TIME TO WIN concept — the strategic framework underpinning the company’s collaboration with its Official Regional Partner, AC Milan, throughout the Year of Sports.
The 2026 calendar features a concentration of major competitions, including the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. Positioned across February and March — one of the season’s most commercially active periods — the tournament is designed to help sports-focused affiliates capitalize on heightened engagement.
TIME TO WIN tournament prizes
Following a teaser campaign featuring AC Milan players Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alexis Saelemaekers, Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot and Rafael Leão, Boomerang Partners confirmed 12 February as the official launch date. The tournament is hosted on the AC Milan Hub, a digital platform created within the partnership between Boomerang Partners and the Club.
Participants can unlock prize draws by reaching specified point thresholds. Available rewards include match experiences and exclusive club-related trips, such as visits to Milanello Sports Center.
Prize categories include:
-
TIME TO WIN merchandise packs for teams
-
Official AC Milan jerseys signed by players
-
Match trip for AC Milan vs Cagliari
-
Match trip for AC Milan vs Juventus with pre-match access
-
Exclusive Milanello experience for affiliate teams
Affiliates earning at least 100 points will also receive bonus points toward the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026.
Participation mechanics
The competition runs from 12 February to 31 March 2026. During this period, affiliates complete tasks across designated segments, accumulate points and progressively unlock access to five prize draws. Activities include social media initiatives, surveys and collaborative promotional efforts coordinated through the AC Milan Hub.
The role of the AC Milan Hub
The AC Milan Hub serves as the central platform for all TIME TO WIN initiatives. Designed as an integrated digital ecosystem, it combines campaign tools, interactive mechanics and access to exclusive club-related experiences. While the tournament represents the flagship activation for Q1 2026, the Hub will host additional partnership initiatives throughout the year.
By embedding the competition within this platform, Boomerang Partners expands the value of participation beyond a standalone performance challenge, positioning affiliates within a broader brand collaboration framework.
Strategic support for affiliates
Participants also gain access to Boomerang Partners’ Sports Marketing & Betting Calendar 2026 — a practical planning resource that outlines tournament cycles, regional sports trends and campaign timing strategies. The guide provides structured insights into market behaviour, enabling affiliates to approach peak sporting periods with data-driven precision.
TIME TO WIN as a strategic framework
TIME TO WIN represents the overarching concept guiding Boomerang Partners’ 2026 partnership with AC Milan. More than a campaign theme, it reflects a shared emphasis on performance, ambition and long-term growth. The concept is designed to support multiple activations throughout the sports season, extending beyond traditional sponsorship formats.
Affiliates are encouraged to prepare campaigns in advance to maximize results during the tournament window.
About Boomerang Partners
Boomerang Partners is a global marketing agency and Official Regional Partner of AC Milan. The company launched the Golden Boomerang Awards in 2024, with more than 400 affiliate teams participating in its 2025 season.
