• Profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of €8.5 million

• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA ex-US of €95.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a record for a third quarter, was offset by non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, US loss of €11.5 million, resulting in total non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of €83.9 million

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 third quarter 2024 unaudited consolidated financial results.

Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer of Super Group, commented: "We achieved our strongest third quarter ever, highlighting the phenomenal progress we are making as a business. There is still tremendous potential as we experience super growth across our global casino brands, and particularly in Africa which we have scaled to be our largest region for the second quarter running. Given our continued strong performance and robust balance sheet, we are exploring ways to return excess cash to shareholders, and intend to discuss with the board a possible further special dividend before the end of the year."

Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer of Super Group, stated: "This quarter was our best ex-US third quarter ever, achieving total revenue of €395 million and Adjusted EBITDA of €95 million. We are focusing on consistent growth in our key markets, while striving to maximize operational and marketing cost efficiencies across the group, which resulted in a margin of 24% for the second quarter in a row – well ahead of our long-term target of 20%. Following the strong performance of the business over the first three quarters and an early look at a strong October, we are increasing our ex-US Adjusted EBITDA full-year 2024 guidance to be greater than €345 million."

Financial Highlights:

• Revenue increased by 13% to €402.9 million for the third quarter of 2024 (constant currency: 15% to €410.9 million) from €356.9 million in the same period of the prior year, driven by growth from the Africa, Europe and North America (predominantly Canada) markets partially offset by declines from the Middle East and Asia-Pacific markets.
• Profit for the period was €8.5 million for the third quarter of 2024. Profit for the period of €10.6 million for the third quarter of 2023 included a non-cash charge of €14.2 million related to the change in fair value of option liability.
• Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased by 60% to €83.9 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to €52.5 million in the third quarter of 2023.
• Monthly Active Customers increased by 17% to 4.7 million during the third quarter of 2024 from 4.0 million in the third quarter of 2023.
• Cash and cash equivalents was €296.6 million at September 30, 2024, up from €241.9 million at December 31, 2023. This net increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was the result of:
  • Inflows from operating activities amounting to €159.1 million;
  • Outflows from investing activities of €59.2 million. This was mainly as a result of further investment in tangible and intangible assets of €63.6 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 €2.5 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 €9.2 million resulting from receipts of interest and repayment of loans receivable;
  • Outflows from financing activities of €51.9 million, mainly due to dividends paid of €46.1 million and lease payments of €5.7 million; and
  • A gain of €6.7 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, Adjusted EBITDA, ex-US, Adjusted EBITDA, US 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 of business, impairment of assets, US sportsbook closure, market closure and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA, ex-US is Adjusted EBITDA relating to the rest the group, excluding Digital Gaming Corporation ('DGC'). Adjusted EBITDA, US is Adjusted EBITDA relating to the DGC. 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 provide additional perspective on the financial performance of our core business, 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.
