Q & A Highlights
Q: How did the acquisition planning impact the results for the quarter and the strategy of the existing business? A: Robert Bressler, CFO: The acquisition planning did not impact the quarter's results. The strategic direction towards a North American and content-focused business has been in place for some time. The deal complements this direction and enhances our ability to execute our strategy once we integrate with Drayton.
Q: With the acquisition, how significant is the expansion into the U.S. market, and what are the synergies with Bragg's existing games? A: Matevz Mazij, CEO: The acquisition accelerates our transition to a higher-margin, proprietary content-led business. It adds over 100 new titles and expands our reach to over 30 U.S. states through advanced deposit wagering (ADW) technology. This expansion is significant as it opens up new markets where traditional iGaming is not yet regulated.
Q: What financial information is available regarding the acquisition, and will there be a pro forma financial statement? A: Robert Bressler, CFO: The acquired assets currently deliver mid-single-digit million revenue and are EBITDA positive. The transaction includes $1 million in excess cash. We see potential for revenue growth and will provide more detailed financials as the acquisition progresses.
Q: How does the ADW model impact Bragg's market reach in the U.S.? A: Matevz Mazij, CEO: The ADW model allows us to legally operate in over 30 U.S. states, including major markets like California, Florida, and Texas, where traditional online slots are unregulated. This model meets the demand for online casino experiences in these states.
Q: What is the expected impact of Matt Davey's appointment as non-executive Chairman? A: Matevz Mazij, CEO: Matt Davey's experience in building and scaling global gaming platforms will be invaluable. His industry relationships and strategic insights will significantly strengthen our leadership team as we pursue our growth strategy.
