Super Group Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2024

  • Revenue of €414.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 - an all-time quarterly record
  • Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of €0.8 million includes non-cash charges of €36.8 million relating to the impairment of DGC related assets
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA ex-US of €98.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is the highest quarterly ex-US adjusted EBITDA to date, offset by a non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of €16.4 million from the US, resulting in total non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of €81.9 million
  • Unrestricted cash of €306.8 million at June 30, 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 second quarter 2024 unaudited consolidated financial results.

Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer of Super Group, commented: “The second quarter of 2024 was our strongest quarter ever and demonstrates the exceptional progress we continue to make as a business. I'm glad we have reached a conclusion in shutting the US sports betting market and we continue more generally to optimize our global footprint both in terms of geography and product. I'm really excited to welcome English Premier League champions, Manchester City, and South Africa’s Premier Soccer League, now known as the Betway Premiership, to our brand sponsorship portfolio. Our outlook for the remainder of the year is strong, and we look forward to making 2024 a super year for Super Group.”

Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer of Super Group, stated: "We achieved new quarterly records for the ex-US business for both total revenue of €408 million and Adjusted EBITDA of €98 million. The continued focus of growth in key markets, along with the significant progress made on realizing cost efficiencies, contributed to a strong second quarter ex-US EBITDA margin of 24%. Given the strength we have seen in the first half of the year, we are confident in raising our ex-US Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year 2024 to greater than €300m. Finally, our debt-free balance sheet continues to show strength, and we were pleased to return capital to shareholders through the announcement of our first ever dividend."

Financial Highlights:

  • Revenue increased by 9% to €414.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 (constant currency: 11% to €422.5 million) from €380.8 million in the same period of the prior year, driven by growth from the Africa and North America (predominantly Canada) markets partially offset by declines from the Middle East and Asia-Pacific markets.
  • Loss for the period was €0.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 and includes non-cash charges of €36.8 million relating to the impairment of DGC related assets. Profit for the period of €27.6 million for the second quarter of 2023 included a non-cash charge of €6.1 million related to the change in fair value of option liability.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased by 8% to €81.9 million for the second quarter 2024 compared to €75.9 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Monthly Active Customers increased by 21% to 4.5 million during the second quarter of 2024 from 3.7 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Cash and cash equivalents was €306.8 million at June 30, 2024, up from €241.9 million at December 31, 2023. This net increase during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was the result of:
  • Inflows from operating activities amounting to €104.5 million;
  • Outflows from investing activities of €42.9 million. This was mainly as a result of further investment in tangible and intangible assets of €44.8 million, predominantly due to the capitalization of expenditure on software, issuance of a loan to Apricot Investments Limited of €10.0 million, deferred consideration paid of €2.1 million relating to the 15 Marketing Limited acquisition and cash paid of €2.0 million for an investment in associate. These outflows were offset in part by €9.2 million of consideration received from the sale of the B2B division of DGC, as well as €6.3 million resulting from receipts of interest and repayment of loans receivable;
  • Outflows from financing activities of €3.7 million, mainly due to lease payments; and
  • A gain of €7.0 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. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for RSU expense, change in fair value of options, unrealized foreign exchange, gain on disposal business, impairment of assets 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, other than revenue on a constant currency basis, 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.
