Super Group Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

First Quarter Highlights:

  • Revenue of €338.5 million
  • Loss after tax of €1.9 million includes €2.2 million change in fair value of option liability
  • Operational EBITDA of €34.7 million includes Operational EBITDA of €51.3 million from ex-US and a loss of €16.6 million from the US
  • Cash and cash equivalents was €246.3 million at March 31, 2023

Super Group (SGHC) Limited (NYSE: SGHC) (“SGHC” or “Super Group”), the parent company of Betway, a leading online sports betting and gaming business, and Spin, the multi-brand online casino, today announced first quarter 2023 consolidated financial results.

Neal Menashe, CEO of Super Group, commented: “Super Group has delivered another solid quarter and we remain focused on growing revenue and profits. During the month of March, net gaming revenue was a record high, along with the Operational EBITDA margin of over 20% and this is a strong reminder of the value of operating leverage in our business. We are confident that we will continue to build on another strong quarter across iGaming and sports betting across the world.”

Alinda van Wyk, CFO of Super Group commented, “Our results for the quarter demonstrate the benefits of our continued investment in growth. Our balance sheet remains robust and gives us a very strong foundation to continue to scale our business. We are always optimizing our costs efficiencies, further enhancing future profitability.”

Financial Highlights

  • Revenue increased by 1% to €338.5 million for the first quarter 2023 from €334.5 million in the same period from the prior year driven by growth from Africa and the Middle East and European markets partially offset by declines from North America (predominantly in Canada due to the regulatory changes in Ontario) and Asia-Pacific markets.
  • Loss after tax for the first quarter 2023 was €1.9 million which included a non-cash charge of €2.2 million related to the increase in fair value of a liability for a call option granted to a third-party to purchase the B2B division of Digital Gaming Corporation Limited ("DGC"), which Super Group acquired in January 2023. The loss after tax of €163.2 million for the first quarter of 2022 included costs and changes in fair values associated with the business combination and listing as a public company which was completed in January 2022.
  • Operational EBITDA of €34.7 million for the first quarter 2023, included the investment in the US business after the acquisition of DGC on January 1, 2023. Operational EBITDA was €63.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The measure for the first quarter of 2023 was comprised of €51.4 million ex-US and a loss of €16.6 million in the US .
  • Monthly Active Customers increased 34% to 3.5 million during the first quarter 2023 from 2.6 million in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Cash and cash equivalents was €246.3 million at March 31, 2023, down slightly from €254.8 million at December 31, 2022. This net reduction during the first quarter of 2023 was the result of:
    • Inflows from operating activities amounting to €39.6 million;
    • Outflows from investing activities of €57.3 million, mainly attributable to an increase in restricted cash of €18.1 million, expenditures on tangible and intangible assets of €13.1 million, issuance of loans of €24.8 million, mainly attributable to the Apricot loan as well as the net of cash paid on the acquisition of DGC of €11.7 million and cash acquired from DGC of €7.7 million;
    • Cash generated from financing activities of €15.4 million was primarily due to DGC drawing against its bank lending facility; and
    • A loss of €6.1 million was a result of foreign currency fluctuations on foreign cash balances held over this period.

Recent Company Events

  • On January 3, 2023, Super Group closed the acquisition of DGC, an online sports betting and iGaming company with market access in up to thirteen US states, eight of which are live today. The results for the US business are disclosed as Operational EBITDA, US.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes non-GAAP financial information not presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Operational EBITDA are non-GAAP company-specific performance measures that Super Group uses to supplement the Company’s results presented in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA is defined as profit before depreciation, amortization, financial income, financial expense and income tax expense/credit. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA less gain on derivative contracts and gain on bargain purchase plus transaction costs, share-based payment expense, change in fair value of option, adjusted RSU expense and fair value adjustments on warrant liabilities and earnout liabilities and associated foreign exchange movements. Operational EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unrealized foreign currency gains and losses and other non-recurring adjustments outside of the current year’s operations as may be deemed appropriate by the company’s audit committee.

Super Group believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as they are similar to measures reported by the Company’s public competitors and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Super Group’s financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures together with IFRS results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with IFRS, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, IFRS results.

Reconciliation tables of the most comparable IFRS financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and supplemental materials are included below. Super Group urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly named non-GAAP measures differently than we do, which limits their usefulness in comparing our financial results with theirs.
