Third Quarter 2024 Financial Summary
The Company reported revenue from operations of $7.5 million for the third quarter ending September 30, 2024, reflecting a 30% increase over the previous quarter’s revenue of $5.8 million.
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.’”

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” “plan,” “intend” or similar expressions, or statements regarding intent, belief, or current expectations, are forward-looking statements. While the Company believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on any such forward-looking statements, which are based on information available to us on the date of this release. These forward-looking statements are based upon current estimates and assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC, not limited to Risk Factors relating to its business contained therein. Thus, actual results could be materially different. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, High Roller Technologies uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables below.
Non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance, prospects for the future and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that “Adjusted EBITDA,” a “non-GAAP financial measure,” as such term is defined under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), is useful in evaluating our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
We reconcile our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss), adjusted to exclude interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, share-based compensation, foreign exchange loss (gain), depreciation and amortization, impairment, and certain charges or gains resulting from non-recurring or irregular events, if any. For the periods presented we did not have any such non-recurring events.
