Super Group Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

  • Second Quarter 2022 Revenue of €320.8 million
  • Profit after tax of €298.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 includes €283.3 million of non-cash fair value gains associated with the mark to market of the warrant and earnout liabilities
  • Second Quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of €63.6 million
  • Cash and cash equivalents was €220.0 million at June 30, 2022
  • Management to host conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET

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 second quarter 2022 financial results for its operating subsidiary, SGHC Limited.

Neal Menashe, CEO of Super Group, commented: “The current macro environment may provide near term headwinds but Super Group’s balance sheet remains strong and our business remains fundamentally sound.” Mr. Menashe continued, “By investing in our global business, we continue to focus on organic and strategic growth opportunities in pursuit of long-term sustainable profits.”

Alinda van Wyk, CFO of Super Group stated, “Super Group is a profitable and debt free company with a continuing track record of consistent cash generation. Despite some current challenges, we have increased monthly active users, while focusing on financial discipline to maintain profitability and we continue to invest in the future growth of Super Group.”

Financial Highlights

  • Revenue decreased by 10% to €320.8 million for second quarter of 2022 from €355.2 million over the same period in the prior year primarily as a result of a decline in online casino net gaming revenue and brand license fee income, partially offset by an increase in sports betting net gaming revenue. The decrease in casino net gaming revenue was driven by the impact of inflationary factors on disposable income. The prior year quarter casino net gaming revenue also included a positive impact from the global shutdowns during the COVID pandemic. Brand license fee income declined due to renegotiated contract terms. Sports betting net gaming revenue increased due to growth in Africa and Asia-Pacific regions.
  • Profit after tax for the second quarter of 2022 was €298.6 million compared to a profit of €63.9million in the same period of the prior year. Profit for the second quarter of 2022 was positively impacted by non-cash adjustments related to the business combination and the listing on January 27, 2022 as follows:
    • €219.3 million for fair value gains of earnout liabilities; and
    • €64.0 million of fair value gains of warrant liabilities.
  • EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased to €319.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to €91.4 million in the same period from the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes transaction costs, share listing expenses, changes in valuations of warrants and earnout liabilities and associated foreign exchange movements, gains on derivative contracts and bargain purchases, decreased 30% to €63.6 million compared to €90.8 million in the same period from the prior year.
  • Monthly Average Customers for the quarter increased 3% to 2.7 million during the second quarter of 2022 from 2.6 million in the second quarter of 2021.
  • Cash and cash equivalents was €220.0 million at June 30, 2022 and €293.8 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily the result of cash used to redeem shares in connection with closing the business combination, offset in part by cash released from SEAC’s trust account to Super Group upon the closing.
  • During the second quarter of 2022, approximately 6.7 million Restricted Stock Units were granted across the employee base and will vest in equal tranches over the next three years on December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes non-GAAP financial information not presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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, financial income, financial expense and income tax expense/credit. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA less gain on derivative contracts and gain on bargain purchase plus transaction costs, share listing expense, fair value adjustments on warrant liabilities and earnout liabilities and associated foreign exchange movements, and the expense for a once off award of Restricted Stock Units.

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 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.
