Rivalry Corp., an internationally-regulated sports betting and media company, is pleased to announce that its subordinate voting shares will be listed and commence trading at market open today, October 5, 2021 on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol “RVLY.”

“Listing publicly on the TSXV marks the next major step in Rivalry’s journey. We are building the most comprehensive betting and entertainment experience for the next generation globally, and feel we are just getting started,” said Steven Salz, Co-Founder and CEO of Rivalry. “Our team is grateful for the support of all our early investors and we look forward to continued mutual success.”

Rivalry became a public company upon being issued a receipt for its final (long-form) prospectus dated September 17, 2021 and following the completion in June of an oversubscribed offering of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of approximately USD$22,000,000 (the “Offering“). The Offering was completed by a syndicate of agents co-led by Eight Capital and Cormark Securities Inc. together with Canaccord Genuity Corp and M Partners Inc.

Strategic Priorities

Rivalry is a fully regulated sports betting and sports media company operating globally where permitted. Focusing on esports, the Company has built Rivalry into the most engaged esports betting brand in the world1. With a wholly owned and internally developed proprietary tech stack, double digit month-over-month growth, and profitable customer unit economics, Rivalry is building the leading betting and entertainment destination for the next generation.

The Company plans to build on this momentum through execution on the following priorities:

  • Leverage Rivalry’s strength in esports betting and strong engagement among the next generation to grow its traditional sports betting and casino games businesses.
  • Increase its presence in regulated markets with an expected launch of sports betting in Australia in Q4 2021, anticipated license applications in Canada, beginning with Ontario, and earlier-stage new license processes in other major markets.
  • Develop and introduce new products, such as innovative multiplayer casino games, based on the Company’s proprietary and highly scalable technology platform.
  • Materially enhance the scope and scale of its media portfolio, including both social media properties and video content across various platforms in order to enhance the global brand resonance of Rivalry.

At the time of listing the Subordinate Shares on the TSXV, is it expected that Rivalry will have the following securities issued and outstanding:

  • 53,225,498 Subordinate Shares
  • 2,222,220 multiple voting shares
  • 6,382,663 warrants to purchase Subordinate Shares
  • 1,955,372 options to purchase Subordinate Shares (“Options“)
  • 1,581,547 restricted share units (“RSUs“)

The securities set out above, include an aggregate of (a) 319,883 Options, 3,207,390 RSUs (of which 1,625,843 have since vested) and 2,346,288 restricted Subordinate Shares (1,292,830 of which are no longer subject to restriction) which were granted and ratified at the meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on September 20, 2021 (the “Meeting“) and which were issued pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan which authorizes the grant of awards exercisable for up to 7,438,574 Subordinate Shares as approved at the Meeting and described in the Company’s management information circular in respect of the Meeting; and (b) 222,220 RSUs granted by the board of directors of the Company on September 23, 2021.

At the time of listing, it is expected that approximately 23,075,624 of the Subordinate Voting Shares and all of the multiple voting shares will be subject to contractual lock ups with lock up periods ranging from 3 months to 2 years.

Investor Relations Services

The Company has contracted with Vincic Advisors to provide comprehensive investor relations and strategic communications services. Vincic Advisors has been retained for an initial 12-month term which may be extended by mutual agreement, for a monthly fee of $10,000. In addition, it is expected that Vincic Advisors will be granted 22,222 options to purchase Subordinate Shares following the commencement of trading and in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

Adjusted EBITDA

Bragg Gaming Announces Select Preliminary Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results, and Issues Full Year 2026 Guidance

Published

on

bragg-gaming-announces-select-preliminary-unaudited-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2025-financial-results,-and-issues-full-year-2026-guidance

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.”
