Bragg Gaming Group (TSXV: BRAG, OTC: BRGGF)
("
Bragg" or the "
Company")
announced today that the Company is accelerating its expansion into
the U.S. and Canadian iGaming markets.
Bragg’s recent completion of a number of its
strategic objectives, including:
- The Company’s
recently completed acquisition and earn-out of ORYX Gaming
- Transformation of the Company’s
balance sheet from liabilities of circa C$50.0M to currently more
than C$40.0M of cash upon the anticipated full conversion of
accelerated warrants;
- Strengthening of
the board of directors with the recent additions of Richard Carter
and Paul Godfrey;
- Graduation to
the Toronto Stock Exchange on Wednesday, January 27, 2021
have created a strong foundation for the company
to accelerate its expansion into the burgeoning U.S. and Canadian
markets. The Company is increasing its investment in its
technology, regulatory/compliance and business development teams to
ensure that it is optimally positioned to capture new U.S. and
Canadian revenue streams. Bragg intends to launch their
cutting-edge B2B iGaming technology platform and casino content
aggregator in all states that permit iGaming, with the intent of
building a leadership position in the B2B space. The Company is
currently in the process of applying for B2B supplier licenses in
New York and New Jersey. Bragg’s growth strategy is predicated on
filing for B2B supplier licenses in all other states where iGaming
is regulated and in Canada once legislation permits.
“Our successful achievement of the key
objectives we set earlier in 2020 has allowed us to move ahead with
our global plans more quickly than we’d anticipated,” said Adam
Arviv, CEO of Bragg Gaming. “We’re now focused on growing in two
vital areas – quickly building share in the surging U.S. B2B gaming
market, while also leveraging our significant success in European
and Latin American markets by diversifying our offering in our key
jurisdictions.”
Bragg is also focusing on building scale and
growing market share in worldwide casino markets, particularly in
its stronghold E.U., through an augmented and diversified product
offering. Bragg is in the process of applying for various European
B2B supplier licenses, most notably the U.K. Gambling Commission.
The Company is enhancing its content base through leading studios,
growing its existing Sportsbook and Lottery products, expanding
into new products, such as instant-win, and enhancing its iGaming
platform services. Bragg is also heightening its focus on local
market regulatory compliance where it offers B2B services.
The Company also provided a trading update
today. Revenue for FY 2020 was ahead of management expectations
with adjusted EBITDA expected to hit the higher end of the
range. The outlook for FY 2021 for revenue remains unchanged
(C$73.5M) with adjusted EBITDA of C$6.4M, with the change in EBITDA
reflecting the Company’s commitment for significant investment
within FY 2021 to focus on U.S. and Canadian growth and expansion.
Bragg will continue to update on its progress in its upcoming FY
2020 financial reporting in March, 2021.
