Simplicity Esports and Gaming Company has signed definitive documents to acquire three additional franchisee-owned esports gaming centers in California and Washington.

The closing of these acquisitions gives Simplicity a total of nine corporate-owned and 20 franchisee-owned gaming centers open and operational. 12 other franchisee-owned gaming centers remain closed due to government-imposed restrictions.

“COVID-19 related social distancing and capacity restrictions have had a negative impact on traffics counts for some of our gaming centers, but other locations are having record setting months for membership sales. One of our corporate owned gaming centers in Texas sold a record number 37 new memberships so far during the month of October,” Roman Franklin, President of Simplicity Esports, said.

“2020 has presented us with an amazing opportunity to invest in the acquisition of gaming centers while simultaneously capitalizing on disruptions in commercial real estate that allow us to sign new five to 10 year leases with rent calculated as a percentage of gross sales. The EBITDA profile of the acquisitions is attractive to Simplicity because of the reduction of the largest fixed expense through the signing of new percentage rent leases. These acquisitions allow Simplicity Esports to report the full revenues generated by these gaming centers on a consolidated basis,” Roman Franklin added.

Bragg Gaming Group has announced that its preliminary unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 are expected to come within its previously issued guidance ranges for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company anticipates the fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results to include the following highlights:

Fourth quarter 2025 revenues to be approximately EUR 27.7 million, an increase of 1.8% from EUR 27.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately EUR 6 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin2 of approximately 16.6%), compared to EUR 4.7 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 17.2%) in the fourth quarter of 2024. High-margin proprietary content revenue grew by 70% in Q4-2025 over Q4-2024, primarily driven by growth in the US.

Full year 2025 revenues to be approximately EUR 106.1 million, an increase of 4.0% from EUR 102.0 million in 2024, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately EUR 16.6 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 15.6%), compared to EUR 15.8 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 15.5%) in 2024. The Company notes that, excluding the Netherlands given its challenging regulatory environment, expected 2025 revenues would represent an 18% increase from 2024, driven by the Company’s performance in Brazil and the US.

These figures are preliminary and unaudited, and actual revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin may differ.

Bragg is providing this information at this time because of planned investment community meetings to be held ahead of the release of its fourth and full year 2025 financial results and conference call in March 2026.

Anticipated Financial Highlights for 2026

Revenue Guidance: Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2026 is expected to be in the range of EUR 97.0 million to EUR 104.5 million, despite Bragg anticipating that it will have to continue navigating increasingly complex regulatory compliance requirements and recent tax changes in the Netherlands and other regions in which the Company operates.

Adjusted EBITDA Guidance: Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2026 is forecasted to be in the range of EUR 16.0 million to EUR 19.0 million (representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 16.0% to 18.0%), supported by factors which include a continuing shift toward higher-margin product offerings and the structural cost savings expected from Bragg’s recently announced initiative to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to drive cost efficiencies and improve operational excellence.

Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg, said: “Based on the preliminary results, we delivered another record year in 2025, as demonstrated by increased revenue and higher Adjusted EBITDA. Now in 2026, we remain confident in our ability to successfully navigate evolving international regulatory and taxation developments, continue to increase our overall content market share in Brazil and the United States, aggressively pursue emerging alternative markets, such as Historical and Live Racing and Prediction Markets, and move into new jurisdictions that offer opportunities for higher margin content business. At the same time, we plan on thoughtfully harnessing the power of the Bragg AI Brain to reduce our overall cost structure, drive EBITDA growth, and move toward sustained net profitability. We look forward to updating investors as we progress.”

Codere Online has released its financial results for the first quarter of 2022. The multinational gaming firm posted revenues of $304.8m which represents a recovery of 83% of total revenues before the pandemic hit.

The company cited the easing of restrictions across its operational markets, particularly in Argentina, Mexico, and Spain, for its economic recovery. The three aforementioned markets have noted a 92% of turnover recovery from pre-pandemic levels.

Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA has increased significantly to $50.5m, up 1291.4% from the $3.6m recorded in Q1 of 2021. The firm attributed this to all markets contributing positively but specifically Argentina, Mexico, and Spain.

Mexico contributed revenues of $51.8m, a 62% recovery on those made in Q1 of 2019 and 126% up on Q1 of 2021. Despite this, Codere noted that this was “somewhat below expectations” due to some restrictions and a downturn in the local economy.

Argentina reached revenues of $76.0m, around 91% of what it achieved in Q1 of 2019 and around 93% up YoY. The company did detail that the market was “still affected internally by the usual macro variables of the country”.

Other Latin American performances saw Uruguay reach revenues of $14.5m, 24% more than in 2020; Panama saw revenues of $16.1m, recovering 81% of the income from before the pandemic; Colombian revenues were $5.2m, 43% above those achieved in Q1 of 2021 and, crucially, exceeding pre-pandemic levels of turnover.

Maintaining its forecasts for the end of the year, Codere outlined its expectations that it will recover 95-100% of its pre-pandemic income levels before the end of the year.

Revenue for the company’s B2C segment grew to $404m, an increase of 44% compared to the three months ended 31 March 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA outperformed the midpoint of the guidance for the first quarter of 2022 previously provided by DraftKings during its fourth quarter earnings conference call on 18 February 2022 by more than 12%.

“DraftKings delivered significant growth across our key revenue and performance metrics,” said Jason Robins, DraftKings’ co-founder, CEO and chairman of the board.

“We are not seeing any impact from inflationary pressures on customer demand and we continue to improve the user experience by adding breadth and depth to our DFS, mobile sports betting and igaming products.

“We are also improving our efficiency in acquiring and retaining customers and have a strong pipeline of new jurisdictions to enter.”

Jason Park, CFO of DraftKings, said: “We are pleased with our strong revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance in the first quarter, which was driven by healthy underlying customer behaviour and our ability to capture efficiencies.

“Therefore, we are increasing the midpoint of our fiscal year 2022 revenue guidance by $50m and improving the midpoint of our fiscal year 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance by $75m.”
