bet-at-home.com AG: Group figures for the first half 2023

 

Düsseldorf, 01 August 2023. The bet-at-home.com AG Group announces financial results for the first six months of 2023.

Major developments in the first half 2023

By the end of the 2023 financial year, the bet-at-home.com AG Group intends to have key corporate functions performed by the outsourcing partner. In this respect, in February 2023, the Malta-licensed offering (domain .com) of bet-at-home.com Internet Ltd. was successfully launched on the well-known outsourced platform iGaming of the software provider EveryMatrix. The outsourcing of the German-licensed platform to www.bet-at-home.de will be completed in the course of the year.

 

Revenue development in the first half 2023

Gross betting and gaming revenue in the first half 2023 amounted to EUR 24.2 million, which is 9.3% lower than in the first six months of 2022 (1H 2022: EUR 26.7 million). This resulted from regulatory developments in the core market of Germany, namely due to comprehensive implementation of cross-product and cross-provider monthly betting limits starting from July 1, 2022, as well as from a weaker than expected development of the online gaming segment, due to limitation of the licensed offering compared to the previous year.

 

Earnings development in the first half 2023

Personnel expenses decreased by 39.3% year-on-year to EUR 4.7 million, due to two restructuring programs implemented in the 2022 financial year. Marketing expenses declined to EUR 5.5 million, which is 5.6% below the level of the first half 2022 (1H 2022: EUR 5.8 million). This year the marketing focus will be made on advertising measures to the start of the football season 2023/2024 in the second half 2023. Other operating expenses in the first half 2023 decreased by 13.9% year-on-year to EUR 6.2 million compared to EUR 7.2 million in 1H 2022.

 

EBITDA in the first half 2023 increased more than threefold compared to the first six months of the previous year and stood at EUR 3.8 million (1H 2022: EUR 1.1 million).

 

Stable asset and capital structure

The Group’s consolidated equity as of June 30, 2023 totalled EUR 30.4 million (December 31, 2022: EUR 28.9 million). Cash and cash equivalents within the bet-at-home.com AG Group increased to EUR 37.8 million as of June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: EUR 35.3 million).

 

Outlook for the 2023 financial year

The Management Board continues to expect the bet-at-home.com AG Group to generate gross betting and gaming revenue in the range of EUR 50 million and EUR 60 million, supported by an expected stronger performance of the online sports betting segment in the second half 2023, due to a higher customer acquisition and marketing activity. Despite the strong EBITDA in the first half 2023, we maintain our previously reported outlook with an EBITDA between EUR -3 million and EUR 1 million for the full year 2023, as we expect a significant increase in marketing costs related to the start of the football season in the second half 2023, which will have a corresponding impact on the EBITDA level.
