B2B technology provider iGaming EveryMatrix reveals strong results for Q1 of 2022.
EveryMatrix’s Q1 update shows Gross Earnings growth in all business segments (Casino, Sports, and Platform), strong cash position and sustained business momentum. The Group has reinvested positive liquidity in its in-house gaming studios and expansion into the U.S. market, both of which are set to support the Company’s future growth.
CONTINUED GROWTH OF GROSS PROFIT
Gross Earnings (Gross Income minus direct costs for gaming providers) increased by 14% Y / Y in 1 Q1 2021 to € 13.9 million (12.3) with a 4-year CAGR of 35% . Gross Earnings were driven by substantial worldwide growth and the stabilization of German revenues following the regulatory changes there.
EBITDA fell by 14% to € 4.8 million (5.6) compared to a strong comparison in the first quarter of last year. € 4.8 million is equal to the 2021 average. The Company continued to invest in its gaming studios (Spearhead Studios, Armadillo Studios and SlotMatrix RGS) and in the US market during the period.
The EBITDA / Gross Profit margin was 35% (46%), which is at the same level as the EBITDA / Gross Profit margin for the full year 2021. The margin was affected by the increase in number of people in the Group from 553 at the end of Q1 2021 to 669 at the end of Q1 2022, and the costs associated with US gaming studios and investments.
Net cash grew from € 5.9 million in 1 Q1 2021 to € 11.1 million in 1 Q1 2022. The Company is reinvesting positive liquidity in future growth and remaining debt-free.
Ebbe Groes, CEO of EveryMatrix Group, he says: “We started the year with strong financial performance in all three business segments, driven by our balanced and innovative product offering and our broad customer base. We saw a record number of new customer wins in the quarter with 40 deals signed in all products.
“We will continue to invest organically for our next level of growth, mainly in our gaming studios and North American markets. In addition to organic investments, we are also looking at M&A opportunities. ”
