Charles Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Gambling.com Group, commented, “Our fourth quarter results extended our strong record of delivering high top-line growth and attractive margins. With consistent execution over the years, and especially over the past four years in North America, we have established one of the strongest and highest-growth performance marketing businesses in the online gambling industry. Our operating momentum continued throughout 2023 and the undeniable power of our capital efficient business is on full display in our full year results which include a 42% increase in revenue to $108.7 million, a 53% rise in Adjusted EBITDA to $36.7 million and 71% growth in Free Cash Flow to $16.2 million.

“Our fourth quarter and full year North American revenue increased 103% and 69%, respectively. Growth was driven by new state launches, strong increases in ‘same-state’ sales and our blossoming media partnership initiatives. We are confident in our ability to continue growing our North American market share this year and we will also benefit from the recent launch of online sports betting in our home state of North Carolina, where we are off to a strong start since the market launched on March 11th.

“Gambling.com Group is positioned for continued revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow growth in 2024 and beyond across all of our markets. As significant shareholders, the founders and senior management of Gambling.com Group remain fully aligned with all owners and we are steadfastly committed to enhancing shareholder value.”

Enters into Definitive Agreement to Acquire Freebets.com and Related Assets

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

Gambling.com Group also announced today that it will expand its presence across the United Kingdom and other European markets through a definitive agreement to acquire Freebets.com and related assets. Closing is expected at the beginning of April, subject to customary closing conditions. Gambling.com Group anticipates that these assets will produce revenue of approximately $10.0 million and incremental Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $5.0 million during the nine months from April to December 2024.

The Company will acquire these assets for a total consideration of between $37.5 million and $42.5 million, consisting of $20.0 million paid on closing, $10.0 million paid on the six-month anniversary of closing and between $7.5 million and $12.5 million to be paid on the one-year anniversary of the closing subject to the revenue performance of the assets during the remainder of 2024. Gambling.com Group expects to fund the purchase price from existing cash on hand, borrowings under the recently announced credit facility and future cash flow.

“This acquisition will provide us with another big brand and assets that complement our existing website portfolio in a number of our key-focus markets, enabling us to drive further growth which is both high margin and highly accretive,” said Charles Gillespie. “By operating these assets on our technology platform, we expect to unlock their full potential. We are confident that this latest acquisition will create incremental shareholder value in the same way we have done with previous acquisitions.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 and Recent Business Highlights

  • Grew North American revenue 103% to $20.3 million
  • Delivered more than 159,000 new depositing customers (“NDCs”)
  • Strong contribution from Kentucky following launch in late September
  • Acquired European casino domains and related assets for $6.4 million
  • Repurchased 205,727 shares for an average price of $9.70
  • Won the iGB Casino Affiliate of the Year Award
  • Launched operations in our home state of North Carolina on March 11th
  • Secured new $50 million credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
  • Entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Freebets.com and related assets

Elias Mark, Chief Financial Officer of Gambling.com Group, added, “The strong value we create for our online gambling operator partners is evident in the 56% increase in the number of NDCs we sent to them in 2023. Consistent with our capital efficient DNA, nearly all of our revenue growth in 2023 was organic(1) which we again converted into Free Cash Flow at a very high percentage. We are positioned to further our operating momentum in 2024 as the mid-points of our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook reflect growth of 21% and 25%, respectively.”

(1) Organic growth refers to the percentage change in revenue during a period compared to the same period in the previous year. Organic growth is adjusted to exclude revenue from businesses acquired during the preceding 12 months.

Supplemental Information

Rounding

We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Advertisement
European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

Management uses several financial measures, both IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business and for making operational decisions.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share

Adjusted net income is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net income attributable to equity holders excluding the fair value gain or loss related to contingent consideration, unwinding of deferred consideration, and certain employee bonuses related to acquisitions. Adjusted net income per diluted share is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as adjusted net income attributable to equity holders divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

We believe adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are useful to our management as a measure of comparative performance from period to period as these measures remove the effect of the fair value gain or loss related to the contingent consideration, unwinding of deferred consideration, and certain employee bonuses, all associated with our acquisitions, during the limited period where these items are incurred. We expect to incur expenses related to the unwinding of deferred consideration and employee bonuses until April 2024. See Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a description of the contingent and deferred considerations associated with our acquisitions.

Below is a reconciliation to Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders and Adjusted net income per share, diluted from net income for the period attributable to the equity holders and net income per share attributed to ordinary shareholders, diluted as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and for the period specified stated in the Company’s reporting currency and constant currency (unaudited):

(1) There is no tax impact from fair value movement on contingent consideration, unwinding of deferred consideration or employee bonuses related to acquisition.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as earnings excluding interest, income tax (charge) credit, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the effect of non-recurring items, significant non-cash items, share-based payment expense, foreign exchange gains (losses), fair value of contingent consideration, and other items that our board of directors believes do not reflect the underlying performance of the business, including acquisition related expenses, such as acquisition related costs and bonuses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-IFRS measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Advertisement
European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to our management team as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as those measures remove the effect of items not directly resulting from our core operations including effects that are generated by differences in capital structure, depreciation, tax effects and non-recurring events.

While we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as tools to enhance our understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are substitutes for, or superior to, the information provided by IFRS results. As such, the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. The primary limitations associated with the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as compared to IFRS results are that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as we define them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry and that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may exclude financial information that some investors may consider important in evaluating our performance.

In regard to forward looking non-IFRS guidance, we are not able to reconcile the forward-looking non-IFRS Adjusted EBITDA measure to the closest corresponding IFRS measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items including, but not limited to, fair value movements, share-based payments for future awards, acquisition-related expenses and certain financing and tax items.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS liquidity financial measure defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for payments related to contingent and deferred consideration included within operating cash flow less capital expenditures.

We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to our management team as a measure of financial performance as it measures our ability to generate additional cash from our operations. While we use Free Cash Flow as a tool to enhance our understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that Free Cash Flow is a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by IFRS metrics. As such, the presentation of Free Cash Flow is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The primary limitation associated with the use of Free Cash Flow as compared to IFRS metrics is that Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures because the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Free Cash Flow as we define it also may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in the online gambling affiliate industry.

Below is a reconciliation to Free Cash Flow from cash flows generated by operating activities as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period specified in the Company’s reporting currency (unaudited):
