Super Group Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2024

  • Revenue of €379.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, representing the highest revenue recorded in a first quarter
  • Profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of €41.0 million, including a pre-tax gain of €40.1 million relating to the sale of the B2B division of DGC and a non-cash charge of €13.1 million for change in fair value of option liability
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA ex-US of €68.7 million and a loss of €22.3 million from the US amounted to Adjusted EBITDA of €46.5 million
  • Unrestricted cash was €289.2 million as at March 31, 2024

Super Group (SGHC) Limited (NYSE: SGHC) (“SGHC” or “Super Group”), the parent company of Betway, a leading online sports betting and gaming business, and Spin, the multi-brand online casino, today announced first quarter 2024 unaudited consolidated financial results.

Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer of Super Group, commented: “We've had a phenomenal start to the year, continuing our momentum from a strong end to 2023. This robust performance has been delivered by our global team’s ongoing focus and investment into core markets that are yielding strong returns, providing us with a solid foundation for the remainder of the year.”

Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer of Super Group, stated: "We achieved record results for a first quarter of €374 million of revenue and €69 million of Adjusted EBITDA, for the ex-US business. Our laser focus on creating a leaner, more efficient operating model has delivered results, with Q1 operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue falling to below 19%. Investment into high-growth areas of the business continues at pace and we remain confident that we are in a strong position to realize our goals set for 2024."

Financial Highlights:

  • Revenue increased by 12% to €379.3 million for the first quarter 2024 (constant currency: 17% to €389.3 million) from €338.5 million in the same period from the prior year driven by growth from Africa and North America (predominantly Canada) markets partially offset by declines from the Middle East and Asia-Pacific market.
  • Profit for the period was €41.0 million for the first quarter 2024, which included a gain on disposal of the B2B division of Digital Gaming Corporation Limited ("DGC") of €40.1 million as well as a non-cash charge of €13.1 million related to the increase in fair value of option liability. Loss for the period of €1.9 million for the first quarter of 2023 included the non-cash charge of €2.2 million related to the change in fair value of option liability.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased 29% to €46.5 million for the first quarter 2024 compared to €36.1 million in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Monthly Active Customers increased 33% to 4.7 million during the first quarter of 2024 from 3.5 million in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Cash and cash equivalents was €289.2 million at March 31, 2024, up from €241.9 million at December 31, 2023. This net increase during the first quarter 2024 was the result of:
    • Inflows from operating activities amounting to €69.8 million;
    • Outflows from investing activities of €20.4 million. This was mainly as a result of further investment in tangible and intangible assets of €20.6 million, predominantly due to the capitalization expenditure on software, issuance of loan to Apricot Investments Limited of €10.0 million and deferred consideration paid of €2.1 million relating to the 15 Marketing Limited acquisition. These were offset in part by €9.2 million consideration received from the sale of the B2B division of DGC, as well as €3.7 million resulting from receipts of interest and repayment of loans receivable;
    • Outflows from financing activities of €1.7 million due to lease payments; and
    • A loss of €0.5 million as a result of foreign currency fluctuations on foreign cash balances held over this period.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes non-GAAP financial information not presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and revenue on a constant currency basis are non-GAAP company-specific performance measures that Super Group uses to supplement the Company’s results presented in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA is defined as profit before depreciation, amortization, finance income, finance expense and income tax expense/credit. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for market closure costs, adjusted RSU expense, change in fair value of option liabilities, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses, gain on disposal of business and other adjustments. Constant currency revenue growth is calculated by translating non-Euro performance for 2023 and 2024 using 2023 exchange rates.

Super Group believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as they are similar to measures reported by the Company’s public competitors and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Super Group’s financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures together with IFRS results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with IFRS, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, IFRS results.

Reconciliation tables of the most comparable IFRS financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and supplemental materials are included below. Super Group urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly named non-GAAP measures differently than we do, which limits their usefulness in comparing our financial results with theirs.
