SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Super League Gaming (Nasdaq: SLGG), a global leader in building immersive entertainment experiences, has released its fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results in the form of a shareholder letter. The fourth quarter and full year 2022 results are highlighted by continued revenue growth, particularly in advertising and sponsorship revenue.

Management Commentary by Chief Executive Officer, Ann Hand:

“We are proud to deliver yet another year of strong revenue growth on the back of a record fourth quarter. As traditional advertising dollars shift to where audiences have moved, Super League’s product-market fit has never been stronger. We see continuing business momentum stemming from a strong pipeline of not only larger deals, but also longer, recurring programs. Our newly launched global sales strategy continues to show promise attracting interest from several leading global brands.

The next big shift in advertising has arrived and we are well positioned to generate significant recurring, high-margin revenue that will drive sustainable long-term value for our shareholders. Looking ahead, we expect strong organic growth over the next few years supported by identified partner programs and operational optimization, which is already underway. That said, we see a clear line of sight towards organically growing our annual revenues to over $100 million, with a gross margin in the low to mid 60s over the next few years.”
