  • Q3 EBITA before special items increased 18% to 8,002 tEUR (Q3 2019: 6,804 tEUR). The EBITA-margin before special items increased to 44% as cost levels were still kept relatively low.

Financial highlights first nine months 2020

  • In the first nine months of 2020, revenue grew by 14% to 54,472 tEUR (YTD 2019: 47,870 tEUR), with organic growth declining by 2%.
  • In the first nine months of 2020, EBITA before special items increased 14% to 22,933 tEUR (YTD 2019: 20,114 tEUR). The EBITA-margin before special items was 42%.
  • Cash Flow from operations before special items was 28,173 tEUR (YTD 2019: 19,052 tEUR), an increase of 48%. The cash conversion rate before special items was 116%. End of Q3 2020, cash and unused credit facilities amounted to 70.9 mEUR.
  • New Depositing Customers (NDCs) exceeded 283,000 in the first nine months (decline of 10% compared to last year). The decline was mainly due to the cancellation of major sports events. In total, it is estimated that the cancellation and postponements of major sports events have resulted in approximately 90,000 fewer NDC's during H1 2020, compared to a "pre-COVID-19 estimate".

Significant events after the closure of the period

  • Better Collective completed the acquisition of Atemi Group for 44 mEUR on October 1. Atemi Group is one of the World's largest companies specialised within lead generation for iGaming through paid media (PPC) and social media advertising. The acquisition is a major strategic move for Better Collective with significant synergistic opportunities.
  • October revenue was 12.4 mEUR, a growth of 87% vs. 2019, of which 33% was organic. Atemi Group is included in the Group accounts from October 1, 2020, and without Atemi, revenue growth for October was 20% vs. 2019.
  • On November 2, Better Collective acquired the platforms zagranie.com, a Polish sports betting media brand, and irishracing.com, a leading horse racing platform in Ireland, in two separate transactions for a combined price just above 1 mEUR.
  • In Germany, a new interim regulation was implemented mid-October mostly affecting online operators that do not have licenses for certain casino games. Better Collective do not expect any major business impact from this as most of the Group's revenue from German operators stems from sports betting. A more permanent regulation is expected to be implemented as from July 1, 2021, which can affect the revenue models for future customers. However, Better Collective believes that the value and revenue from the German market will remain the same.

Financial targets for 2020 maintained

The recovery and growth seen in October is expected to continue throughout the year. The financial targets for 2020 are maintained with total revenue growth of >30%, whereof >10% is organic growth. The EBITA-margin is expected to be >40% even after the inclusion of the lower margin business of Atemi in Q4.

For 2021, the general expectation is a normalised situation for major sports. In addition, several major events, that were postponed from 2020 including the EURO 2020 (now EURO 2021), are planned to take place. Financial targets for 2021 will be provided in connection with the Full Year Report for 2020.

CEO Comments

Strong underlying business performance during the quarter, affected by headwinds in terms of low sports win margin

Following the return of major sports as seen over the summer, Q3 turned out to be a quarter marked by high sports betting activity. However, the sports win margin was lower than historical average, reducing revenue by an estimated 2 mEUR.

Getting back on track

In general, the market development has so far been in line with the assumptions we made mid-March when we decided to provide an extraordinary business update based on this unprecedented "COVID-19 situation". I am very proud of the way we are steering the business during these difficult times, and that we can maintain our full year financial guidance considering these unusual circumstances. Cautiously expecting that the remainder of 2020 and 2021 will be filled with sports activities and high levels of betting activity, we believe that we are well positioned to take our part of a global market that is getting back on the growth track.

Business performance

Q3 showed strong underlying performance on most KPIs measured in our revenue share accounts, as sports wagering was at a record high as were the number of bets placed and active sports users. After a couple of months significantly impacted by cancellations and postponements, we are excited to see activity back at "pre-COVID levels", even though almost half of Q3 was less active because of changes to sports calendars implying a later start of the major leagues than usual. Revenues were muted by low sports win margin in revenue share accounts, with a negative effect of an estimated 2 mEUR based on an average historical margin.

The EBITA-margin remained above the financial target, and even increased to 44%, as the cost base was lowered significantly following the cost reduction program implemented from April 1. While some of the cost reductions were temporary measures isolated to Q2, we have also managed to implement cost savings on a more consistent basis. In the coming quarters we expect to cautiously increase the cost base again to ensure that we support our long-term strategy.

Acquisition of lead generator Atemi

On October 1 we completed the acquisition of Atemi Group for 44 mEUR. Atemi Group is one of the World's largest companies specialised within lead generation for iGaming through paid media (PPC) and social media advertising. This acquisition is a very important step for us to reach our strategic target of becoming the leading sports betting aggregator in the world. Atemi Group has been on an impressive growth journey since the company was founded in 2015, and has reached the large scale it takes to be competitive and profitable within paid media. The acquisition will immediately bring us in the absolute leading position when it comes to customer acquisition for the online operators, delivering premium traffic and high intent players. From a financial perspective, Better Collective will take a leap towards having proforma annual revenue of an estimate of more than 120 million EUR with high operational earnings and cash flow. The earnings margin within paid media is typically lower than within organic traffic, why the Atemi business will be reported as a separate segment.

Through the acquisition, we have added a team of highly skilled employees with in-depth media know-how, superior tech, and comparison ecosystems. We see many opportunities for expansion into new markets, such as the US, and for harvesting synergistic effects between our assets and competences. Furthermore, we have reduced our risk towards organic traffic acquisition and algorithm updates.

Sports and business performance returning in the US

We remain highly dedicated to take part in the emerging US market, where more and more states are opening for on-line gambling, either just sports betting or in some states also online casino games. We are well positioned in this exciting new market, and we have released new products and upgraded versions of both vegasinsider.com and scoresandodds.com. We believe that vegasinsider has long-term potential to become "The Home of US sports bettors", and in the coming years we will continue to invest in quality content for our users.

In Q3 we saw the return of most sports to the US, and on the regulatory front, the 5th largest state, Illinois, has extended its temporary online registration permission until November 14th. We expect this regime to remain open, and we have already seen more and more operators opening in this state.

Media partnerships proving successful

Last year, Better Collective entered into partnership with NJ.com and The Daily Telegraph to deliver our innovative technology and content for sports betting. Having implemented and run the solutions for over a year, the concept has proven to be successful in terms of traffic to the sites and NDCs delivered, but also with learnings related to the structure and monetisation of such partnerships. In Q3, we concluded the first stage proof-of-concept for our collaboration model. The ambition is to enter more of this type of agreements going forward based on the learnings from our proof of concept partnership.

Industry recognition for Better Collective and Mindway AI

We are very pleased to be awarded Affiliate of the Year at the EGR North America Awards 2020 and likewise to receive the Award for Commitment to Compliance by an Affiliate Company at the VIXIO GamblingCompliance Global Regulatory Awards 2020, for the second year in a row. Also, a big congratulations to Mindway AI for taking home the award "Compliance Innovation of the Year 2020" for their self-test Gamalyze, helping gamblers gain more insight into their gambling behavior. Last year, Better Collective acquired just below 20% of the shares in Mindway AI, who specialises in innovative and advanced software solutions for the identification of at-risk gambling and problem gambling behaviour. The investment aligns Better Collective's vision to empower iGamers and help establish an entertaining and safe betting environment.

On top of this, I am very proud of the performance and the continued effort of our employees under the difficult conditions this past half year. I am excited to welcome the Atemi team to Better Collective, marking yet a strategically significant acquisition this year.

Financial performance third quarter 2020

COVID-19 continued to have an impact on sports calendars in Q3 with amended and reduced tournament formats with fever games, e.g. Champions League as well as NBA playoffs in the US. Despite this the underlying KPIs showed strong development, however, the revenue was negatively impacted by approximately 2 mEUR in the quarter due to low sports win margin in our revenue share accounts.

Financial targets

In connection with the IPO in 2018, the Board of Directors decided upon the following Financial Targets for the short-medium term (average for the period 2018-2020). These targets have been met and remain unchanged. As 2020 is the last year in the range of the current Financial targets, which are average targets over the 3-year period, Better Collective has provided additional information for 2020 isolated: For 2020, Better Collective expects double-digit (i.e. >10%) organic growth and total growth of >30%. The operating margin (EBITA) for 2020 is expected to be >40% and Net Interest Bearing Debt/ EBITDA <2.5.

The recovery and growth seen in October is expected to continue throughout the year. The financial targets for 2020 remain unchanged with total revenue growth of >30%, whereof >10% is organic growth. The EBITA-margin is expected to be >40% even after the inclusion of the lower margin business of Atemi in Q4. The general expectation for 2021 is a normalised situation for major sports. In addition, several major events, that were postponed from 2020 including the EURO 2020 (now EURO 2021), are planned to take place. Financial targets for 2021 will be provided in connection with the Full Year Report for 2020.

Market development and regulatory update

Regulation of a market usually introduces license requirements for operators and such licenses may come with additional requirements, such as compliance and specific taxes on sports betting and casino operations. These increased requirements for operators affect us indirectly and, in some cases, directly. Better Collective believes that regulation generally is positive for the markets, as regulation increases transparency, provides predictable rules, and increases awareness and demand. Set out below is a summary of developments and updates in the quarter relevant to Better Collective's scope of business.

USA

Better Collective has been licensed as a vendor in New Jersey since 2014, and we keep growing our market presence. Better Collective is currently live in eight states: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. As regulation, including taxation, licensing processes, and player registration differs between the states, there are several factors impacting how Better Collective prioritises its activities. A number of states are currently subject to internal review and commercial analysis as they are expected to regulate in the years to come. The 5th largest state, Illinois, has extended its temporary online reg-

istration permission until November 14th. We expect this regime to remain open, and have seen more and more operators opening in the market. In Q4 we expect to go live in Virginia, Michigan, and Tennessee. In New Jersey, we obtained a license to operate on revenue share.

Denmark

A tax increase from 20% to 28% on gross gaming revenue (GGR) is expected to be implemented from 2021. We foresee that this could cause smaller operators to exit the market, but we expect this to have minor impact on our business. However, there will be a mechanical impact on our commission relative to the tax increase. As mentioned in the Prospectus dated May 28, 2018, Better Collective has been charged with infringement of the Danish Gambling Act. This has resulted in a claim to be settled in court, stating that the Company through two websites with Danish domain names has promoted participation in foreign gambling activities without a Danish license. It is a novel legal question whether the legislation extends to instances where the foreign gambling provider cannot and/or will not accept Danish players. Better Collective believes that there are good arguments supporting that no infringement has been made. Should the lawsuit be lost, the fine is expected to be up to 146 tDKK.

Germany

In March 2020, the German states voted to approve a new federal state treaty on gambling. Since mid-October, an interim regime to govern gambling came into effect until the new treaty is effective. In connection with the interim regime, a number of sports betting licenses for operators were granted. These operators can offer sports betting, slots, and poker, provided they do so in compliance with the requirements of the treaty. As a result, all casino content on Better collective's German language sites has been adjusted to the market needs. Better Collective do not expect any major business impact from this as most of the Group's revenue from German operators stems from sports betting. A more permanent regulation is expected to be implemented as from July 1, 2021, which can affect the revenue models for future customers, however Better Collective believe that the value and revenue from the German market will remain the same.

Temporary restrictions in light of COVID-19

In Spain, a ban on sign up bonuses and various other marketing restrictions came into effect November 5, 2020. Some aspects of the ban have different implementation timing, meaning that our future advertising activities on the Spanish market will be evaluated and implemented in the coming months. Similarly, Swedish legislators are restricting bonuses to 100 SEK and applying weekly deposit limits for casino-games at 5 tSEK (-500 EUR).

Risk management

Through an Enterprise Risk Management process, a number of gross risks in Better Collective are identified. Each risk is described, including current risk mitigation in place or planned mitigating actions. The subsequent analysis of the identified risks includes an inherent risk evaluation based on two main parameters: probability of occurrence and impact on future Earnings and Cash Flow. Better Collective's management continuously monitors risk development in the Better Collective Group. The Risk Evaluation is presented to the Board of Directors annually, for discussion of and any further mitigating actions required. The Board evaluates risk dynamically to cater for this variation in risk impact. The policies and guidelines in place stipulate how Better Collective management must work with risk management. Better Collective's compliance with these policies and guidelines is also monitored by the management on an ongoing basis. Better Collective seeks to identify and understand risks and mitigate them accordingly. Also, the company's close and longstanding relationships with customers allow Better Collective to anticipate and respond to market movements and new regulations including compliance requirements from authorities and operators (customers). With the acquisitions in the US, the overall risk profile of Better Collective has changed, and regulatory/compliance as well as financial risk has increased. Better Collective has mitigated the additional risks in US in a number of ways, regulatory and compliance risk through involvement of regulatory bodies in our licensing process for newly established entities, financial risk through a performance based valuation of the acquired entity (RiCal LLC), and organisational risk through establishment of local governance/management, and finance, HR, and Legal organisation dedicated to the US operations.

The coronavirus outbreak, COVID-19, is having a growing impact on the global economy. If major sports events are cancelled or significantly postponed, it is likely to impact our revenue as we to a large extent rely on the operators' user activity. Additionally, the health and safety of our employees may be at risk. We continue to prepare for sports events up until the point that they may be cancelled. For internal purposes, we have set up a response team to ensure that we follow government guidelines as a minimum.

Independent auditor's report

To the shareholders of Better Collective A/S

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Better Collective A/S for the period January 1 – September 30, 2020, which comprise a consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated cash flow statement and notes as presented on page 17-29. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Management's responsibilities for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and additional requirements applicable in Denmark.

This requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. This standard also requires us to comply with ethical requirements.

A review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the International Standard on Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures primarily consisting of making enquiries of Management and others within the company, as appropriate, applying analytical procedures and evaluate the evidence obtained.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Other matters

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain actual figures for the period July 1 – September 30, 2020 (Q3 2020), together with comparative figures for the period July 1 – September 30, 2019 (Q3 2019). The actual figures for Q3 2020 and the comparative figures for Q3 2019 have not been subject to review. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the actual Q3 2020 figures, nor on the comparative figures for Q3 2019.

1 General information

Better Collective A/S is a limited liability company and is incorporated in Denmark. The parent company and its subsidiaries (referred to as the "Group" or "Better Collective") engage in online affiliate marketing. Better Collective's vision is to empower iGamers by leading the way in transparency and technology.

Basis of preparation

The Interim Report (condensed consolidated interim financial statements) for the period January 1 - September 30, 2020 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial statements" as adopted by the EU and additional requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act. The parent company condensed interim financial statements has been included according to the Danish Executive Order on the Preparation of Interim Financial Reports.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the results of Better Collective A/S and its subsidiaries.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements refer to certain key performance indicators, which Better Collective and others use when evaluating the performance of Better Collective. These are referred to as alternative performance measures (APMs) and are not defined under IFRS. The figures and related subtotals give management and investors important information to enable them to fully analyse the Better Collective business and trends. The APMs are not meant to replace but to complement the performance measures defined under IFRS.

New financial reporting standards

All new or amended standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRIC) as adopted by the EU and which are effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2020 have been adopted. The implementation of these new or amended standards and interpretations had no material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Accounting policies

Except for the changes below, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as set out in note 1 of the 2019 annual report which contains a full description of the accounting policies for the Group and the parent company. The annual report for 2019 can be found on Better Collective's web-site: https://bettercollective.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/BetterCollective_AR19_web.pdf

Changes in accounting policies:

Significant expenses, which Better Collective consider non-recurring, are presented in the Income statement in a separate line item labelled 'Special items' in order to distinguish these items from other income statement items. Better Collective considers cost related to IPO, not capitalised expenses related to M&A, adjustments to Earn-out payments, and cost related to restructuring as special items. As of January 1, 2020, cost related to restructuring, and income from divestiture of non-strategic sites, are included in special items. Historic numbers have not been affected.

Expenses related to paid media (Pay-Per-Click: PPC) are included in "Direct cost related to revenue" as of January 1, 2020. Prior to Januar 1. 2020 they were included in "Other external expenses". A re-statement of comparative numbers for 2019 has been made (1.7 mEUR). There is no effect on Equity, the balance sheet, and profit/loss.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates, and assumptions

The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities.

The significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in these consolidated interim financial statements are the same as disclosed in note 2 in the annual report for 2019 which contains a full description of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions."

7 Non-current liabilities and other current financial liabilities

Debt to credit institutions:

As per September 30, 2020 Better Collective has drawn 60.7 mEUR on the credit facility established with Nordea Bank. Debt to mortgage credit institutions amounted to 0.5 mEUR.

Lease liabilities:

Non-current and current lease liabilities, of 2.3 mEUR and 1.1 mEUR respectively.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax as of September 30, 2020 amounted to 24.6 mEUR. The change from January 1, 2020 originates from changes in deferred tax related to acquisition made, amortisation of accounts from acquisitions, and deferred tax changes in Parent Company.

Contingent Consideration:

As per September 30, 2020 contingent consideration amounted to 24.3 mEUR (of which 1.5 mEUR current) due to the remaining purchase price related to the acquisition of RiCal LLC.

Other financial liabilities:

As per September 30, 2020 other financial liabilities amounted to 12.8 mEUR due to deferred and variable payments related to acquisitions. The decrease from January 1, 2020 relates to variable payments for HLTV (increase), payment of earn-out value related to WBS I.K.E. Online Marketing Services Ltd., the final payments related to the acquisition of Ribacka Group, and a deferred payment related to MOAR Performance Ltd.

Fair Value is measured based on level 3 - Valuation techniques. In all material aspects the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is considered equal to the booked value.

8 Business combinations

Acquisition of HLTV ApS

On February 28, 2020, Better Collective acquired HLTV, which owns the website HLTV.org, thereby establishing a strong position within the export betting market. HLTV ApS is incorporated in Denmark.

8 Business combinations, continued

A goodwill of 17,777 tEUR emerged from the acquisition of HLTV as an effect of the difference between the transferred consideration and the fair value of acquired net assets. Goodwill is primarily connected to the future growth expectations given the strong brand acquired, and leveraging Better Collective's existing operator agreements and monetisation models. The goodwill is not tax deductible.

Transaction costs related to the acquisition of HLTV amounts to 76 tEUR in 2020. Transaction costs are accounted for in the income statements under "special items".

The fair value of the trade receivables amounts to 28 tEUR. The gross amount of trade receivables is 28 tEUR and no impairment has been recorded.

Cash and cash equivalents 396
Deferred return payment - NWC adjustment -542
Deferred Payment - Shares 2,678
Estimated conditional purchase amount (at fair value) 7,737
Net cash outflow 23,316

An additional conditional consideration depends on the development of the results in the acquired company. At the date of the acquisition, the debt assigned to the conditional consideration amounted to 8 mEUR (fair value of 7,7 mEUR). The maximum amount of the conditional payment is 8 mEUR.

The acquisition was completed on February 28, 2020. If the acquisition would have taken place on January 1, 2020 the Group's revenue YTD would have amounted to 55,345 tEUR and result after tax YTD would have amounted to 13,804 tEUR.

The purchase price allocation is provisional due to uncertainties regarding measurement of acquired intangible assets.

Acquisition of Atemi Group

On October 1, after the end of Q3 Better Collective completed the acquisition of Atemi Group for 44 million EUR. Atemi Group is one of the World's largest companies specialised within lead generation for iGaming through paid media (PPC) and social media advertising. The acquisition is a major strategic move for Better Collective with significant synergistic opportunities.

As per the date of publication of the interim financial statements it has not been possible to obtain sufficient financial data to fulfill reporting requirements according to IFRS3. Therefore the opening balance, the acquired net assets at the time of the acquisition, goodwill and pro-forma impact on the revenue and profit after tax is not included in these interim financial statements.
