Revenue from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $7.5 million, compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing a slight decrease of less than 1%. Growth in primary gaming markets offset the impact of High Roller’s exit from a jurisdiction due to regulatory changes in late 2023.

Operating expenses for the three months periods ended June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 were $7.3 million and $8.0 million respectively and were $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 driven by increased investment into advertising and promotional costs in key markets to increase player acquisition.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $(0.5 million) as compared to a GAAP net loss of $(0.2 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Sequentially, the Company reported a GAAP net loss of $(1.5 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company achieved Adjusted EBITDA of $40 thousand, marking an improvement from ($1.0 million) in Adjusted EBITDA deficit reported in three months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. This improvement over consecutive quarters was driven by cost optimization efforts and disciplined operational execution.

The Company reported a net loss per share of ($0.07) in three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss per share of ($0.03) in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

At the close of September 30, 2024, the Company reported $2.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash. This amount does not give effect to proceeds received by the Company from its IPO that closed in October 2024 and that raised gross proceeds of $10 million to support strategic growth initiatives.

Ben Clemes, Chief Executive Officer at High Roller Technologies, commented: “We’re extremely proud to have completed our recent IPO on the NYSE, a milestone that reflects the confidence and trust of our shareholders. We sincerely thank our investors for their support as we move into this exciting new chapter. We believe that our quarter-over-quarter most accurately reflects the direction of our Company as we focused on optimizing costs and creating more efficient and effective marketing efforts to grow our user base. Looking ahead, we remain committed to executing our growth strategy, delivering value to our stakeholders, and driving innovation in the gaming industry.”
