The company told shareholders that its continued focus on diversifying its revenue sources contributed to its results.
“We’re very pleased that we’ve been able to build on the strong trajectory that we achieved in 2019,” said Dominic Mansour, CEO of Bragg in the results statement.
“We’ve continued to emphasize revenue diversification and have delivered strong growth across our operators, with the introduction of new features and functionality on our platforms. We have continually improved our content pipeline and have signed multiple new customers globally.”
The company said that its business had grown during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as people around the globe turned to at-home activities.
Mansour noted that the firm is expanding its presence in the US gaming market after having established a presence there with its Kambi and Seneca partnership. The CEO told investors that the company is evaluating opportunities to further expand its business in the 50 states.
Bragg’s first-quarter net loss came in at C$7.7 million compared to C$3 million in the year-ago quarter.
2020 forecast
The company also said that its financial outperformance continued into 2Q 2020 with revenue expected to be up by around 30% from the previous quarter. Its financial guidance for 2020 remains unchanged, with revenue for 2020 forecasted to be in the range of C$53.9 million to C$58.5 million versus actual 2019 revenue C$41.0 million, an increase of up to 43% versus 2019.
