January update
Revenue performance through the start of 2022 has been healthy in Europe and particularly strong in North America, due in large part to the launch of sports betting in New York State. The Group expects revenue for January to be the best single-month performance in the Group’s 15-year history, even before consolidating revenue from RotoWire.com, which was acquired on January 1^st, 2022.

“The year is off to an incredibly strong start,” said Charles Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer of Gambling.com Group. “It is great to see our investments at the end of 2021 start to pay off and help drive strong growth, despite a particularly challenging comparable period in the first quarter of 2021 coinciding with Covid-19 related measures.”

Outlook for 2022
The Group is introducing its outlook for 2022. Based on currently available information, the Group estimates that, for the full year 2022:

• Total revenue will be in the range of $71 million and $76 million; and
• Adjusted EBITDA will be in the range of $22 million and $27 million²

Gillespie further commented, “I am delighted with the strength in our underlying business, even before consolidating revenue from RotoWire in January and BonusFinder from February. We continue to invest in the business and expect to deliver another year of strong organic revenue growth complemented with additional revenue from the recent acquisitions. Great acquisitions, the launch of sports betting in states like New York and Louisiana, the expected launch of a regulated market in Ontario, and the debut of our media partnership with McClatchy together give me confidence that 2022 will be another brilliant year for Gambling.com Group.”
