Group Quarterly Statement Q1 2020

bet-at-home.com AG – 4 May 2020

LIFE IS A GAME!

REPORT BY THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear shareholders,

In this economically and socially challenging time, the bet-at-home.com AG Group as a leading provider of online sports betting and online gaming is also faced with certain disturbances. The immediate stop in European sports in mid-March 2020 led to a drop in sales in the online sports betting segment, although above all the short-term expansion of eSports as well as sport events in "more exotic" leagues, contributed to keep up the betting offer.

The online gaming segment remained nearly unaffected by any protective measures due to the purely virtual variety of entertainment offers and made a major contribution to gross betting and gaming revenue in the first quarter of 2020, which totaled EUR 32.2 million. The decline in gross betting and gaming revenue is mainly due to the loss of essential parts of the Swiss market and the significant decline in the Polish market.

With regard to the European Football Championship, which was originally scheduled for 2020, we were able to immediately adapt our marketing strategy to the postponement by one year, so that no significant marketing agreements with a focus on the planned major event were concluded in the reporting period and beyond. As a consequence, bet-at-home will focus its marketing on the second quarter of 2021.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our employees in particular, who not only show patience and great commitment in this challenging time, but also complete all work processes professionally in the teleworking mode. We would also like to thank our shareholders for the trust they have placed in us.

Franz Ömer Michael Quatember

DEVELOPMENT OF BETTING AND GAMING REVENUE

Development of betting and gaming revenue in Q1 2020

  • As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the immediate stop in European sports in mid-March 2020 led to a drop in sales in the online sports betting segment, although above all the short-term expansion of eSports as well as sport events in "more exotic" leagues, contributed to keep up the betting offer within the bet-at-home.com AG Group.
  • The online gaming segment remained nearly unaffected by any protective measures due to the purely virtual variety of entertainment offers and was responsible for 57.6% of gross betting and gaming revenue in the first quarter of 2020, which was EUR 32.2 million, 13.4% below the previous year's figure (Q1 2019: EUR 37.2 million)
  • The decline in gross betting and gaming revenue is mainly due to the loss of essential parts of the Swiss market and the significant decline in the Polish market.

DEVELOPMENT OF MARKETING EXPENSES

Brand awareness increased despite the lack of sport events

  • According to the absence of numerous sporting events from mid-March 2020, fewer bonus offers were taken up by customers. Therefore the total marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were EUR 6.6 million and thus below the comparative value of the previous year (Q1 2019: EUR 8.2 million).
  • With regard to the European Football Championship, which was originally scheduled for 2020, bet-at-home was able to immediately adjust its marketing strategy to the postponement by one year, so that no significant marketing agreements with a focus on the planned major event were concluded in the reporting period and beyond.
  • As at 31 March 2020, the bet-at-home.com AG Group had 5.3 million registered customers (31.03.2019: 5.1 million).

DEVELOPMENT OF EARNINGS

Earnings development in Q1 2020

  • In the first quarter of 2020, EBITDA amounted to EUR 9.0 million and was therefore below the very strong prior-year period (Q1 2019: EUR 12.7 million), but could outperform the previous quarter (Q4 2019: EUR 8.2 million).
  • Earnings before taxes (EBT) were at EUR 8.5 million (Q1 2019: EUR 12.2 million).
  • Overall, the consolidated profit for the period in Q1 2020 was EUR 5.8 million (Q1 2019: EUR 7.8 million). 0

STABLE ASSET AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Development of cash & cash equivalents and group equity

  • As a result of the contribution to earnings made in the current reporting period, Group equity increased to EUR 47.5 million as of 31 March 2020 (31.12.2019: EUR 41.6 million), resulting in a consolidated equity ratio of 48.9% (31.12.2019: 43.7%).
  • The bet-at-home.com AG Group also held liquid assets and short-term time deposits in the amount of EUR 55.3 million as of 31 March 2020 (31.12.2019: EUR 54.8 million).

OUTLOOK

Guidance Financial Year 2020

  • From the current perspective, the Management Board still expects a gross betting and gaming revenue between EUR 120 million and EUR 132 million in the financial year 2020. The decline in gross betting and gaming revenue compared to the financial year 2019 is attributable to the loss of essential parts of the Swiss market and the significant decline in the Polish market. A potential decline in revenues due to regulatory changes in Germany can currently not be estimated and is therefore not considered.
  • Furthermore, the Management Board still expects EBITDA to amount between EUR 23 million and EUR 27 million for the financial year 2020.
