Quarterly Statement Q3 2017

bet-at-home.com AG – 6 November 2017

REPORT BY THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Shareholders,

in the first three quarters of the 2017 financial year, the listed online sports betting and gaming provider continued its successful development.

By reaching a betting and gaming volume of EUR 2,393.6 million in the first three quarters 2017, the gross betting and gaming revenue amounted to EUR 108.7 million, 8.3% up on the comparable period in the previous year. Since July 2017, the Group has been subject to blocking measures in Poland that are considered as a violation of European legislation. Extensive legal action was initiated in this respect. Nevertheless, a gross betting and gaming revenue of EUR 31.9 million was generated in Q3 2017. Having a value of EUR 25.4 million in the first nine months of 2017, the EBITDA further increased compared to the prior-year equivalent figure.

Due to the superior equity position and the current forecast of the development of liquid assets, the Management Board will propose distribution of a total dividend for the 2017 financial year within the range of EUR 6.00 and EUR 8.00 per share to the Supervisory Board in December 2017. The payment will be effected in May 2018.

We would like to thank all those who have made the first three quarters of 2017 such a success for bet-at-home.com, especially our staff . We would also like to express our gratitude to the shareholders for their trust in us.
