bet-at-home.com AG – 08 November 2023
bet-at-home.com AG Group quarterly statement 3Q 2023 (unaudited) ǀ 08 November 2023 Classification: Public 1
This year, our operating activities are focused on the development on our core markets, as well as on the implementation of a strategic transition towards increased outsourcing and corresponding adjustments of key business processes. In this regard, in February 2023, the Malta-licensed offering (domain .com) of bet-at-home.com Internet Ltd. was outsourced to the reputable iGaming software provider EveryMatrix. The outsourcing of the German-licensed offering at www.bet-at-home.de was successfully completed in October. The group will henceforth concentrate internal development and operations solely on those customer- and revenue-relevant components that cannot be sourced externally, or can only be done so insufficiently.
Regulatory developments in the core market of Germany with the introduction of cross-product and cross-provider monthly betting limits, as well as restrictions on licensed providers in the segment of virtual slot machines continue to have a negative impact on the business performance of the bet-at-home.com AG Group in 2023. The increased dominance of the sports betting offering and the dependence of the company's product portfolio on a sporting calendar (no major sales-relevant sports events in 2023) lead to magnified seasonal differences. In addition to this, adverse sporting results, in particular a disproportionate number of wins by favorites in the most relevant football leagues, affected our margins in the sports betting segment in the third quarter of 2023. As a result, gross betting and gaming revenue in the first three quarters 2023 amounted to EUR 34.5 million, which is 11.6% below the previous year's level. The Management Board therefore adjusts its guidance for gross betting and gaming revenue for the 2023 financial year and now expects a target range of EUR 44 – 48 million (previously: EUR 50 – 60 million).
In the current 2023 financial year, bet-at-home.com strengthens its brand awareness through a large-scale advertising campaign during the start of the 2023/2024 football season and extensive bonus promotions, and places its marketing focus on the second half of 2023. Consequently, marketing expenses in the first three quarters 2023 increased by 33.8% yearon-year, to EUR 11.7 million. bet-at-home intends to further expand its strong market position in the sports betting sector in the core markets of Germany and Austria, in particular through targeted marketing measures.
As a result of the above mentioned factors, EBITDA in the first three quarters 2023 stands at EUR 1.7 million. For the full year 2023, the Management Board expects an EBITDA in the upper range of the previously announced forecast from EUR -3 million to EUR 1 million, supported by the strategic transition and continued cost discipline. As reported in the interim financial report 2023, there may arise additional one-off effects from the winding-up of bet-at-home.com Entertainment Ltd. (in Liquidation). The migrations of the customer and betting platforms to an outsourcing partner have positively impacted the cost and earnings structure of the Group.
