OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

REVENUE

Reported consolidated revenue posted a steady performance compared to 1Q21, leading to total revenue for the three-month period ended March 31^st, 2022, of €97.7m (+0.1%).

Lottery Games was the largest contributor to our top line, comprising 61.9% of our revenue, followed by Sports Betting which contributed 18.8% to Group turnover for the three-month period. Technology contracts accounted for 7.7% and VLTs monitoring represented 11.2% of Group turnover, while Racing constituted the 0.5% of total revenue.

Reported consolidated revenue for the three-month period is higher only by €0.1m year over year. The main factors behind the steady top line performance per Business Activity are:

€+1.8m (+6.1%) from our Licensed

Operations (B2C) activity line with the variance driven by:

Higher revenue in Argentina (€+2.5m or +32.0% y-o-y), driven by local market growth. In local currency, current year results posted a +50.4% y-o-y increase, and
Lower revenue in Malta (€-0.6m or -2.9% y-o-y), driven by market performance.
€+0.7m (+1.3%) from our Technology and Support Services (B2B/ B2G) activity line, with the variance driven by:
Higher revenue in Australia (€+1.1m or +30.6% y-o-y), due to lockdown restrictions in 1Q21,
Higher revenue in Croatia (€+0.9m), following the go-live of the lottery solution developed for Hrvatska Lutrija (national lottery of Croatia),
Higher revenue from other jurisdictions (€+0.5m) mainly due to services related sales, and
Lower revenue in US operations (€-1.9m or -5.1% y-o-y), was primarily affected by the nonrecurrence of the jackpot that boosted 1Q21 sales by c. €4.0m. Revenue from services ended lower by -3.4% y-o-y, while revenue from merchandise sales generated a deficit of -55.4% y-o-y due to their less frequent nature. From a currency perspective, there was a positive impact of 6.9% (Euro depreciation versus a year ago — in average terms).
€-2.4m (-18.3%) from our

Management (B2B/ B2G) contracts activity line with the variance driven by:

Slightly higher revenue in Morocco (€+0.1m),
Marginally higher revenue from our US Sports Betting contracts in Montana and Washington, D.C. (€+0.1m), and
Lower revenue from our Turkish operations (€-2.6m), solely affected by the appreciation of EUR (+75.8% versus a year ago – in average terms). In local currency, current year results posted a +20.4% y-o-y increase. In 1Q22, the local Sports Betting market expanded close to 1.3 times y-o-y, with the online segment representing close to 89% of the market at the end of 1Q22.
Constant currency basis: In 1Q22, revenue — net of the negative FX impact of €3.8m —reached €101.4m (+4.0% y-o-y).

GROSS GAMING REVENUE & Payout

Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) from continuing operations concluded at €79.8m in 1Q22, posting an increase of 1.2% (or €+0.9m) year over year, attributable to:
the decrease in the non-payout related GGR (-1.7% y-o-y or €-1.2m vs. 1Q21), driven mainly by the lower top line contribution of our US operations (jackpot affected), followed by
the increase in the payout related GGR (+20.2% y-o-y or €+2.1m vs. 1Q21), driven mainly by the lower average payout ratio both in Malta and Argentina (+4.3% y-o-y on wagers from licensed operations³). 1Q22 Average Payout Ratio⁴ decreased by 5.4pps vs. 1Q21 (58.9% vs. 64.4%), significantly affected by the higher weighted contribution from our operations in Malta.
Constant currency basis: In 1Q22, GGR — net of the negative FX impact of €3.1m — reached €82.9m (+5.1% y-o-y).
Licensed Operations Revenue also include a small portion of non-Payout related revenue, i.e., value-added services, which totaled €1.3m and €0.8m for 1Q22 and 1Q21respectively.
Payout ratio calculation excludes the IFRS 15 impact for payments to customers.

OPERATING EXPENSES⁵ & EBITDA⁶

Total Operating Expenses ended lower by €0.3m (or -1.2%) in 1Q22 (€21.8m vs. €22.1m). After excluding the higher D&A expenses (€0.7m) in USA, Morocco and Croatia, Operating Expenses ended lower by €0.9m supported by cost containments in HQ perimeter.

Other Operating Income from continuing operations ended at €5.7m presenting an increase of 3.2% y-o-y (or €+0.2m). The bulk of income is driven by the equipment leases in the USA.

EBITDA from continuing operations amounted to €26.1m in 1Q22, posting an increase of 4.9% (or €+1.2m) compared to 1Q21. Despite the absence of jackpot that boosted significantly 1Q21 performance (US operations), the Group has managed to improve its EBITDA via the combined effect of the lower payout from our licensed operations and the lower Operating Expenses.

On a yearly basis, EBITDA margin on sales improved to 26.7%, compared to 25.5% in 1Q21 (+1.2pps).

LTM EBITDA stands at €7m.

Constant currency basis: In 1Q22, EBITDA, net of the negative FX impact of €1.4m, reached €27.5m (+10.5% y-o-y).

EBT / NIATMI

EBT in 1Q22 totaled €-2.3m, compared to €-2.8m in 1Q21, with the variance driven by:

the lower reorganization expenses following the succesful conclusion of our capital structure optimization process (€+4.7m vs 1Q21),
the lower interest expenses, direct effect of debt restructuring (€+1.9m vs 1Q21)
the positive impact from EBITDA (€+1.2m vs 1Q21)

The major headwinds affecting the improved perfornance can be attributed to:

the negative impact from FX results (€-4.2m vs 1Q21), as a result of the valuation of cash balances in foreign currency other than the functional currency of each entity, the valuation of commercial and borrowing liabilities of various subsidiaries abroad in EUR, as well as the negative effect from the reclassification of FX reserves to Income Statement applying IFRS 10,
the recognition of expenses vs income from participations and investments (€-1.5m vs 1Q21),
the higher D&A (€-1.2m vs 1Q21), mainly due to Turkey (Bilyoner) and Morocco
the accounting loss identified due to IAS 29 in our Argentinian operations (€-1.1m vs 1Q21).

Constant currency basis: In 1Q22 EBΤ, adjusted for the FX impact, reached €-0.4m, from €-6.5m in 1Q21.

NIATMI from continuing operations in 1Q22 concluded at €-5.7m compared to €-6.9m in 1Q21. NIATMI from total operations in 1Q22 amounted to €-5.7m (improved by €2.6m vs. a year ago), including the performance of the discontinued operations in Peru and Brazil.
Constant currency basis: NIATMI (total operations) in 1Q22, on a constant currency basis, reached €-5.3m from €-12.1m in 1Q21.
Operating Expenses analysis excludes expenditures related to capital structure optimization.
EBITDA analysis excludes Depreciation & Amortization, and expenditures related to capital structure optimization.

CASH-FLOW

Operating Cash-flow in 1Q22 amounted to €17.3m, lower by €7.3m, compared to 1Q21. Excluding the operating cash-flow contribution of our discontinued operations in Brazil, the cash-flow from operating activities is lower by €7.0m vs. a year ago and is attributed to Income Tax payments vs returns 1Q21.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow⁷ in 1Q22 decreased by €2.9m to €1.7m, compared to €4.6m a year ago. The main negative contributors to this variance were the income tax paid vs return in 1Q21 (€-7.4m y-o-y) and the higher maintenance capex (€-1.8m). On positive ground, dividends paid during the period were lower (€+3.1m y-o-y), net finance charges following the capital restructuring generated savings (€+2.0m y-o-y) and EBITDA performance has been improved (€+1.2m y-o-y).

Net CAPEX in 1Q22 was €4.3m, higher by €1.4m compared to 1Q21. CAPEX in 1Q22 has been allocated towards R&D and project pipeline delivery (€0.3m), US (€3.0m) and the rest of operations (€1.0m). Maintenance CAPEX accounted for €2.2m, or 52.0% of the overall capital expenditure in 1Q22, from €0.8m or 28.2% in 1Q21.

Net Debt, as of March 31st, 2022, stood at €500.6m, increased by €3.4m compared to December 31st, 2021 (€497.2m). The Net Debt increase was impacted primarily by the normal course of business following an adverse working capital movement, the exchange rate differences

(€+4.7m) for our USD denominated debt, and investments in growth capex (€+1.4m) for our US operations. The increase was partially offset by the lower interest accrued over 1Q22 vs December 2021.

Calculated as EBITDA – Maintenance CAPEX – Cash Taxes – Net Cash Finance Charges (excluding refinancing charges) – Net Dividends Paid; all finance metrics exclude the impact of discontinued operations.

OUTLOOK

Although the risks associated with the pandemic of COVID-19 have been downgraded, the geopolitical tension arising from the war in Ukraine coupled with the energy crisis, the supply chain disruptions and the rising inflation are factors that are expected to determine the economic outlook over the coming months.

Our Group does not have direct exposure in terms of operations or dependency on suppliers in Ukraine and Russia. However, the risk of indirect effects on the Group’s business activities from the reduction in the household disposable income and the possible increase in operating expenses due to inflationary pressures cannot be overlooked.

The Management of the Company monitors the geopolitical and economic developments on a constant basis and is ready to take all the necessary measures for protecting its operations.

RECENT/ SIGNIFICANT COMPANY DEVELOPMENTS

Big Time Gaming introducing its brand new Megapots™ – the future of jackpots! Capable of delivering truly colossal wins with every pulse-pounding spin.

Experience the glitz and the glamour from the studio known for redefining slots in their Art Deco era of 6×7 slot called Big Bucks Deluxe – where Megapots™, Megaways™, and Mega Wins Collide!

Drenched in dazzling visuals and driven by 117,649 Megaways™, Big Bucks Deluxe invites players into a world of opulence, where shimmering Coins, soaring multipliers, and colossal jackpots keep the action at a fever pitch.

With its latest groundbreaking innovation, Megapots™ where Mini, Midi and Mega Megapots™ sit above the reels and showcase random prizes that change with every spin but can only be awarded when the Hold and Spin feature triggers. This happens when you land six or more Coins in any position. This transforms each symbol into its own reel with prizes, multipliers—or Megapots™ themselves—up for grabs.

If players collect three matching Megapots™ symbols you unlock your jackpot and if every reel reveals a Coin symbol, the Hold & Spin ends with your total bonus prize doubled for the ultimate reward – a jaw-dropping crescendo to the feature.

In the Free Spins, Coins that don’t trigger Hold and Spin stay locked for one spin, turning every spin into a slow-burn suspense thriller with sky-high reward potential. Every new Coin resets your respins, and if the entire grid fills, your total prize is doubled.

But that’s not all…

Land three or more Brilliant Golden Stags to unleash 12 dazzling Free Spins with two extra spins for every triggering Scatter beyond the three. During Free Spins, every Coin ramps up your win multiplier—limitlessly!

While the Free Spins play out, the excitement soars as the win Multiplier starts at 1x and then climbs higher with every Coin that appears. If the Hold & Spin feature isn’t triggered, each Coin stays locked in place to build anticipation for the next spin.

Of course, there’s the Bonus Buy™ to buy your way into the feature and dive straight into the action by unlocking the Hold & Spin feature for 35x your bet or unleash 12 exhilarating Free Spins for 100x your bet.

With high-volatility and flexible RTP settings up to 96.26%, Big Bucks Deluxe is built to thrill both new players and high rollers alike. Available on all platforms, in 30+ languages, and designed with sleek HTML5 responsiveness, this is a slot that performs as beautifully as it looks.

Nik Robinson, CEO, at Big Time Gaming, said: “Big Bucks Deluxe puts players in the spotlight while showcasing our latest innovative mechanic, Megapots™. We are raising the curtain on a new era of jackpot gameplay — glamorous, electrifying, and undeniably BTG. This is a game that’s all about unlocking colossal wins in style, especially when the Hold & Spin feature triggers.”

“With dazzling visuals and cutting-edge mechanics, Big Bucks Deluxe puts players on the edge of their seats from the first spin to the last, providing an opulent gaming experience that very much lives up to the name of the game.”
