Quarterly Statement Q1 2019

bet-at-home.com AG – 29 April 2019

REPORT BY THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Shareholders,

the results for the first quarter of 2019 reflect the success of the targeted marketing investments in the financial year 2018, as gross betting and gaming revenues as well as all key earnings figures increased significantly year-on-year. Due to the 12.1% increase in gross gaming and gaming revenue, EBITDA increased by 35.6% to EUR 12.7 million in the first quarter of 2019. In the current financial year 2019, bet-athome.com will continue to strengthen the awareness of the brand through international advertising campaigns in the form of TV spots, print and online media as well as sponsoring cooperations and extensive bonus promotions.

From the current perspective and assuming an unchanging regulatory and tax law environment, we expect a gross betting and gaming revenue between EUR 130 million and EUR 143 million in the fiscal year 2019. The decline in gross betting and gaming revenue compared to the financial year 2018 is attributable to legal uncertainties in Switzerland. Furthermore, we expect EBITDA to amount between EUR 29 million and EUR 33 million in the fiscal year 2019.

We would like to thank all those who helped bet-at-home.com to achieve such a successful performance in the first quarter of the financial year 2019, above all among our employees. They contributed significantly to the positive development of the bet-at-home.com AG group through their great commitment and excellent work. We would also like to express our gratitude to the shareholders for their trust in us.

OUTLOOK

Guidance Financial Year 2019

  • From the current perspective, and assuming an unchanging regulatory and tax law environment, the Management Board expects a gross betting and gaming revenue between EUR 130 million and EUR 143 million in the fiscal year 2019. The decline in gross betting and gaming revenue compared to the financial year 2018 is attributable to legal uncertainties in Switzerland.
  • For the financial year 2019, the Management Board also expects an EBITDA of between EUR 29 million and EUR 33 million.
  • Due to the excellent liquidity and high level of cash and cash equivalents, Management and Supervisory Board proposed the distribution of a total dividend for the financial year 2018 of EUR 6.50 per share to the Annual General Meeting in May 2019. The payment will be effected in May 2019.

Consolidated Financial Statements Q1 2019

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Initial application of IFRS 16: Leases

IFRS 16 regulates the recognition, measurement, disclosure and disclosure requirements of leases in the financial statements of companies that report in accordance with IFRS.

The accounting model of IFRS 16 requires the lessee to recognize assets and liabilities arising from lease agreements in the consolidated balance sheet. IFRS 16 is mandatory for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, for the first time.

The initial application of IFRS 16 in the bet-at-home.com AG Group concerns the presentation of rental obligations for office space. A lease as defined by the standard exists if the lessor has contractually granted the lessee the right to control an identified asset for a specified period of time and the lessee in return receives consideration from the lessor.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Group recognized non-current assets as well as current and non-current liabilities for its operating leases in connection with the office space in Dusseldorf, Linz and Malta for a period of five years and presented them in the consolidated balance sheet. The effect of the initial application of IFRS 16 led to an increase in total assets of EUR 4.2 million as of January 1, 2019.

The income statement shows the initial application of IFRS 16 in the first quarter of 2019 through depreciation for right-of-use assets as well as interest expenses from leasing liabilities. As of December 31, 2018, the Group recognized operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term (rental expenses). As a result, EUR 13 thousand burdened the consolidated result.
