Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer of Super Group, commented: “Super Group has delivered yet another quarter of solid results, having achieved our highest ever revenue for a third quarter, as well as new all-time highs for both our customer numbers and deposits. I remain encouraged by our very strong customer engagement and continued expansion of our global iGaming offering.” Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer of Super Group, stated: “For the third quarter, we delivered ex-US Revenue of €348.9 million and ex-US Operational EBITDA of €64.1 million, which resulted in a strong margin of 18%. We continue to focus on investing for future growth and the further realization of cost efficiencies. Despite some headwinds experienced this quarter, while tight, we are reaffirming our guidance, assuming a normalized margin for the remainder of the year." Financial Highlights: Revenue increased by 16% to €356.9 million for the third quarter 2023 (constant currency: 27% to €390.8 million) from €307.8 million in the same period from the prior year driven by growth from Africa and Middle East, European and North American markets partially offset by declines from the South/Latin America and Asia-Pacific markets. Profit for the period was €10.6 million for the third quarter 2023, which included a non-cash charge of €14.2 million related to the increase in fair value of a liability for a call option granted to a third-party to purchase the B2B division of Digital Gaming Corporation Limited ("DGC"), which Super Group acquired in January 2023. Profit for the period of €34.9 million for the third quarter of 2022 included the positive impact of non-cash adjustments of €22.0 million related to the change in fair value of option liability. Operational EBITDA was €53.8 million for the third quarter 2023 compared to €49.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. The measure for the third quarter 2023 was comprised of €64.1 million ex-US and a loss of €10.3 million in the US. Monthly Active Customers increased 44% to 4.0 million during the third quarter 2023 from 2.7 million in the third quarter of 2022. Cash and cash equivalents was €245.3 million at September 30, 2023, down from €254.8 million at December 31, 2022. This net reduction during the third quarter 2023 was the result of: Inflows from operating activities amounting to €112.1 million; Inflows from investing activities of €13.9 million. This was mainly attributable to a transfer of €138.5 million of restricted cash for the DGC bank lending facility into the available cash balance, reduced by a preceding injection into the facility of €18.6 million. There was an additional increase of €7.3 million resulting from interest and receipts from loans receivable. These increases were offset by the further investment in tangible and intangible assets of €47.5 million, predominantly due to the capitalization expenditure on software, issuance of loans of €55.9 million, cash paid on the acquisition of SportCC of €6.4 million as well as the cash paid on the acquisition of DGC of €11.7 million net of €7.7 million acquired from DGC; Outflows from financing activities of €129.3 million primarily due to DGC settling its bank lending facility of €139.4 million as well as lease payments of €5.7 million and share repurchases of €2.6 million, offset by proceeds from interest-bearing borrowings of €18.5 million; and A loss of €6.3 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 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”, hereafter "IFRS"). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, revenue on a constant currency basis and Operational 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 EBITDA adjusted gain on derivative contracts, transaction costs, share listing expense, change in fair value of option, adjusted RSU expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities and earnout liabilities and associated foreign exchange movements, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses and other non-recurring adjustments. Operational EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude other non-operational adjustments outside of the current year’s operations as may be deemed appropriate by the company’s audit committee. Constant currency growth is calculated by translating non-Euro performance for 2022 and 2023 using 2022 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.

Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer of Super Group, commented: “Super Group has delivered yet another quarter of solid results, having achieved our highest ever revenue for a third quarter, as well as new all-time highs for both our customer numbers and deposits. I remain encouraged by our very strong customer engagement and continued expansion of our global iGaming offering.” Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer of Super Group, stated: “For the third quarter, we delivered ex-US Revenue of €348.9 million and ex-US Operational EBITDA of €64.1 million, which resulted in a strong margin of 18%. We continue to focus on investing for future growth and the further realization of cost efficiencies. Despite some headwinds experienced this quarter, while tight, we are reaffirming our guidance, assuming a normalized margin for the remainder of the year." Financial Highlights: Revenue increased by 16% to €356.9 million for the third quarter 2023 (constant currency: 27% to €390.8 million) from €307.8 million in the same period from the prior year driven by growth from Africa and Middle East, European and North American markets partially offset by declines from the South/Latin America and Asia-Pacific markets. Profit for the period was €10.6 million for the third quarter 2023, which included a non-cash charge of €14.2 million related to the increase in fair value of a liability for a call option granted to a third-party to purchase the B2B division of Digital Gaming Corporation Limited ("DGC"), which Super Group acquired in January 2023. Profit for the period of €34.9 million for the third quarter of 2022 included the positive impact of non-cash adjustments of €22.0 million related to the change in fair value of option liability. Operational EBITDA was €53.8 million for the third quarter 2023 compared to €49.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. The measure for the third quarter 2023 was comprised of €64.1 million ex-US and a loss of €10.3 million in the US. Monthly Active Customers increased 44% to 4.0 million during the third quarter 2023 from 2.7 million in the third quarter of 2022. Cash and cash equivalents was €245.3 million at September 30, 2023, down from €254.8 million at December 31, 2022. This net reduction during the third quarter 2023 was the result of: Inflows from operating activities amounting to €112.1 million; Inflows from investing activities of €13.9 million. This was mainly attributable to a transfer of €138.5 million of restricted cash for the DGC bank lending facility into the available cash balance, reduced by a preceding injection into the facility of €18.6 million. There was an additional increase of €7.3 million resulting from interest and receipts from loans receivable. These increases were offset by the further investment in tangible and intangible assets of €47.5 million, predominantly due to the capitalization expenditure on software, issuance of loans of €55.9 million, cash paid on the acquisition of SportCC of €6.4 million as well as the cash paid on the acquisition of DGC of €11.7 million net of €7.7 million acquired from DGC; Outflows from financing activities of €129.3 million primarily due to DGC settling its bank lending facility of €139.4 million as well as lease payments of €5.7 million and share repurchases of €2.6 million, offset by proceeds from interest-bearing borrowings of €18.5 million; and A loss of €6.3 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 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”, hereafter "IFRS"). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, revenue on a constant currency basis and Operational 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 EBITDA adjusted gain on derivative contracts, transaction costs, share listing expense, change in fair value of option, adjusted RSU expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities and earnout liabilities and associated foreign exchange movements, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses and other non-recurring adjustments. Operational EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude other non-operational adjustments outside of the current year’s operations as may be deemed appropriate by the company’s audit committee. Constant currency growth is calculated by translating non-Euro performance for 2022 and 2023 using 2022 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.

Third Quarter Highlights: Revenue increased by 16% to €356.9 million, being Super Group's highest ever revenue for the third quarter Profit for the period of €10.6 million includes a non-cash charge of €14.2 million arising from the change in fair value of option liability Operational EBITDA ex-US of €64.1 million and a loss of €10.3 million from the US amounted to Operational EBITDA of €53.8 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 2023 consolidated financial results. Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer of Super Group, commented: “Super Group has delivered yet another quarter of solid results, having achieved our highest ever revenue for a third quarter, as well as new all-time highs for both our customer numbers and deposits. I remain encouraged by our very strong customer engagement and continued expansion of our global iGaming offering.” Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer of Super Group, stated: “For the third quarter, we delivered ex-US Revenue of €348.9 million and ex-US Operational EBITDA of €64.1 million, which resulted in a strong margin of 18%. We continue to focus on investing for future growth and the further realization of cost efficiencies. Despite some headwinds experienced this quarter, while tight, we are reaffirming our guidance, assuming a normalized margin for the remainder of the year." Financial Highlights: Revenue increased by 16% to €356.9 million for the third quarter 2023 (constant currency: 27% to €390.8 million) from €307.8 million in the same period from the prior year driven by growth from Africa and Middle East, European and North American markets partially offset by declines from the South/Latin America and Asia-Pacific markets. Profit for the period was €10.6 million for the third quarter 2023, which included a non-cash charge of €14.2 million related to the increase in fair value of a liability for a call option granted to a third-party to purchase the B2B division of Digital Gaming Corporation Limited ("DGC"), which Super Group acquired in January 2023. Profit for the period of €34.9 million for the third quarter of 2022 included the positive impact of non-cash adjustments of €22.0 million related to the change in fair value of option liability. Operational EBITDA was €53.8 million for the third quarter 2023 compared to €49.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. The measure for the third quarter 2023 was comprised of €64.1 million ex-US and a loss of €10.3 million in the US. Monthly Active Customers increased 44% to 4.0 million during the third quarter 2023 from 2.7 million in the third quarter of 2022. Cash and cash equivalents was €245.3 million at September 30, 2023, down from €254.8 million at December 31, 2022. This net reduction during the third quarter 2023 was the result of: Inflows from operating activities amounting to €112.1 million; Inflows from investing activities of €13.9 million. This was mainly attributable to a transfer of €138.5 million of restricted cash for the DGC bank lending facility into the available cash balance, reduced by a preceding injection into the facility of €18.6 million. There was an additional increase of €7.3 million resulting from interest and receipts from loans receivable. These increases were offset by the further investment in tangible and intangible assets of €47.5 million, predominantly due to the capitalization expenditure on software, issuance of loans of €55.9 million, cash paid on the acquisition of SportCC of €6.4 million as well as the cash paid on the acquisition of DGC of €11.7 million net of €7.7 million acquired from DGC; Outflows from financing activities of €129.3 million primarily due to DGC settling its bank lending facility of €139.4 million as well as lease payments of €5.7 million and share repurchases of €2.6 million, offset by proceeds from interest-bearing borrowings of €18.5 million; and A loss of €6.3 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 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”, hereafter "IFRS"). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, revenue on a constant currency basis and Operational 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 EBITDA adjusted gain on derivative contracts, transaction costs, share listing expense, change in fair value of option, adjusted RSU expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities and earnout liabilities and associated foreign exchange movements, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses and other non-recurring adjustments. Operational EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude other non-operational adjustments outside of the current year’s operations as may be deemed appropriate by the company’s audit committee. Constant currency growth is calculated by translating non-Euro performance for 2022 and 2023 using 2022 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.
