Bragg Gaming Group highlights the following data from its report:

• Revenue increased by 36.4% to EUR €19.4 million (USD $20.5 million) in Q1 2022 compared to EUR €14.2 million (USD $15.0 million) in Q1 2021.
• Wagering revenue generated by customers of EUR €3.8 billion (USD $4.0 billion) was in line with wagering revenue generated by customers of EUR €3.8 billion (USD $4.0 billion) in Q1 2021. Wagering revenue in Q1 2022 reflects changes in product mix towards PAM , managed services and proprietary content, which drove improved gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA.
• Gross profit increased 50.7% to EUR €10.0 million (USD $10.6 million) from EUR €6.6 million (USD $7.0 million) in Q1 2021, reflecting higher revenue and a 490-basis point year over year margin improvement to 51.8%.
• Net loss for the period was EUR €0.7 million (USD $0.7 million), a decline from a net loss of EUR €1.1 million (USD $1.2 million) in Q1 2021, primarily due to higher gross profit and lower transactional costs, partially offset by an incremental increase in employee costs, professional fees, sales and marketing expense, and higher depreciation and amortization.
• Adjusted EBITDA was EUR €3.0 million (USD $3.2 million), an increase of 26.2% compared to EUR €2.3 million (USD $2.4 million) in Q1 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 120 basis points to 15.3%, reflecting the Company's higher investments in software development, product, and senior management functions to execute the growth initiatives implemented in mid-2021. The Adjusted EBITDA margin increased on a quarterly sequential basis by 550 basis points.

Regarding this successful first quarter, Yaniv Spielberg, director of strategy at Bragg Gaming, stated: “We are off to a strong start to the year and while we are reiterating our guidance for 2022 full year revenue of EUR €68-72 million (USD $72-76 million) and Adjusted EBITDA of EUR €9.5-10.5 million (USD $10.0-11.1 million) given it is still very early in the year, we believe our continuing business momentum positions Bragg for the potential of another strong year of relative outperformance to this outlook. Finally, our attractive business model provides us with the flexibility to fund our aggressive new market expansion and proprietary game development initiatives through organic cash flow growth, which will support our goal of delivering new near- and long-term shareholder value”.

Looking ahead, he assured that the company will continue with the plan "to customize many of the proprietary games we introduce, including the more than 35 new titles planned for this year, to address local market player preferences in Europe and North America, which we expect will generate attractive returns on our game development investments. At the same time, we continue to increase our exclusive content licensing agreements with leading game developers”.
