Charles Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Gambling.com Group, commented, “The business performed phenomenally in the second quarter with record operating results reflecting another quarter of significant organic revenue growth and strong Free Cash Flow generation. The growth highlights our success in scaling our North American operations as well as continued growth in our more established markets. New depositing customers rose 60% year-over-year to over 91,000, which helped drive a 63% revenue increase to $26.0 million, 161% growth in Adjusted EBITDA to $9.4 million, and $8.5 million of Free Cash Flow.

“Despite North America already being our largest reporting market, it still represents a significant growth opportunity for Gambling.com Group and we remain very confident in our ability to continue to increase market share in existing states as they continue to grow. This expected growth will be complemented by an overall expansion of the addressable market as new states such as North Carolina and Kentucky come online with sports betting, and iGaming is authorized in additional states. As we continue to scale our North American operations, Gambling.com Group will benefit from other attractive near- and long-term growth drivers, including valuable media partnerships with leading domestic digital media publishers, McClatchy and Gannett, and the significant long-term global opportunity provided by the recently launched Casinos.com. In addition, we are well positioned to continue growing in our more established markets where we continue to take market share and have signed our first international media partnership with The Independent for the U.K. market.

“With each quarter of consistent profitable organic growth delivered by Gambling.com Group, we are demonstrating the benefits of what we believe to be the most attractive business model in the industry as we leverage our many growth drivers and capital efficiency. Our excellence in SEO and proprietary data science allows us to consistently generate top-line growth, Adjusted EBITDA margins that exceed 30%, and strong Free Cash Flow conversion. As a result, we are confident Gambling.com Group will continue to create added value for our shareholders, clients and our valued team members.”

Second Quarter 2023 and Recent Business Highlights

• Grew North American revenue 115% to $13.4 million
• Delivered more than 91,000 new depositing customers
• Entered into first international media partnership with The Independent, one of the U.K.’s largest digital media publishers with more than 20 million unique monthly users
• Negotiated a final, deferred consideration payment of €18 million related the acquisition of BonusFinder in exchange for the early termination of the earn-out period, providing the Company with the ability to accelerate the realization of synergies
• Repurchased 77,683 ordinary shares at an average price of $9.83 per share

Elias Mark, Chief Financial Officer of Gambling.com Group, added, “The operating leverage we generated on 63% year-over-year revenue growth and 161% Adjusted EBITDA growth in the second quarter grew Free Cash Flow growth of 202% to $8.5 million. As a result, we have significant flexibility to simultaneously continue to strategically invest in growth opportunities, including the buildout of Casinos.com and the development of our media partnerships, and to evaluate strategic transactions that we believe create new shareholder value. Reflecting our strong operating results through the first six months of the year, which outperformed our expectations, and our confidence for continued strong performance over the balance of 2023, we are raising our full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook with the mid-point of the new ranges representing year-over-year growth of 33% and 58%, respectively.”

2023 Outlook

The Company raised its full-year 2023 revenue guidance to between $100 million and $104 million, and Adjusted EBITDA guidance to between $36 million and $40 million. The Company’s guidance assumes:
