NeoGames S.A. (Nasdaq: NGMS) (“NeoGames” or the “Company”), a
technology-driven provider of end-to-end iLottery and iGaming
solutions, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter
and year ended December 31, 2023.
Moti Malul, Chief Executive Officer of NeoGames,
said: “We are very pleased with the progress we made during the
fourth quarter and during the entire year of 2023, progressing our
strategic goals and working to complete our merger with Aristocrat
Leisure, which we announced last May. We continue to see strong
growth across our business lines, as three of our four segments,
including iLottery, Games, and Sports, all demonstrated strong
double-digit growth in 2023.
- Our iLottery business continues to
show strong growth, increasing 11.1% during the quarter and 22.4%
for the full year 2023, with further room to run.
- We just launched our market leading
eInstants with the North Carolina Education Lottery, where the
launch has demonstrated significant early success, mirroring trends
we saw when we first launched our eInstants product in Virginia. We
also signed a two-year extension with the North Carolina Education
Lottery, further cementing this valuable partnership. In another
exciting development, NeoPollard Interactive was awarded a new
ten-year contract to provide our turn-key iLottery solutions to the
West Virginia Lottery, which is expected to launch during the
fourth quarter of 2024.
- Our Pariplay business also saw
excellent growth, signing several major new operators during the
quarter including Hard Rock Digital, DraftKings and bet365.
- Subsequent to quarter-end, we are
also excited with our planned launch in Tennessee in the coming
weeks with Action 24/7, Aspire’s first U.S. customer to go live
with online sports betting.
We are focused on achieving sustainable growth
and remain encouraged by the interest and pipeline in the U.S.
market for our iGaming offering. As we look ahead, we will maintain
our focus on investing in the execution of our recently announced
partnerships and product enhancements. These efforts will further
strengthen our capabilities and position us to capitalize on the
meaningful growth opportunities across our business as the market
continues to evolve.”
Malul continued, “We continue to make progress
towards completing our merger with Aristocrat Leisure and continue
to receive the regulatory approvals required to close. We currently
expect we will be able to obtain the remaining regulatory approvals
by the end of April and should that happen we see a path to close
during May.” Malul stated. “In the meantime, we remain dedicated to
elevating the iGaming landscape, capitalizing on opportunities, and
diligently executing on our strategic objectives for the benefit of
all stakeholders.”
Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial
Highlights
- The total of Revenues and the
Company’s share of NPI revenues was $64.9 million during the fourth
quarter of 2023, compared to $83.2 million during the fourth
quarter of 2022. These figures reflect accounting for the majority
of Aspire Core revenues on a net basis in the fourth quarter of
2023 compared to historical figures in the fourth quarter of 2022,
which were prepared on a gross basis, prompted by new commercial
terms in certain Aspire Core contracts which went into effect on
January 1, 2023. If iGaming revenues had been accounted for on a
gross basis for the Aspire Core, the total of Revenue and the
Company’s share in NPI revenues would have been $95.2 million,
which would have reflected 14.5% year-over-year growth when
measured in reporting currency. In addition to accounting for the
new commercial terms, current year results reflect continued growth
in the Company’s iLottery, Games and Sports business lines,
partially offset by a slowdown in Aspire Core revenues due to
regulatory changes in the United Kingdom and a temporary pause in
operations in Germany prior and due to the Company obtaining
its local license to operate.
- iLottery revenues were $14.4
million during the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $14.5
million during the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease
of (0.4)% year-over-year. In addition, the Company’s share in NPI
revenues was $17.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2023,
compared to $14.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2022,
representing an increase of 22.9% year-over-year. The total of
NeoGames’ iLottery revenue plus the Company’s share of NPI revenues
during the fourth quarter of 2023 was $31.6 million, up 11.1%
year-over-year, primarily driven by continued positive growth trend
across most major accounts as well as by very strong performance of
new game launches by NeoGames Studio.
- iGaming revenues were $33.4 million
for the fourth quarter of 2023. These figures reflect accounting
for the majority of Aspire Core revenues on a net basis compared to
historical figures which were prepared on a gross basis, prompted
by new commercial terms in certain Aspire Core contracts which went
into effect on January 1, 2023. If iGaming revenues had been
accounted for on a gross basis for the Aspire Core, total revenue
would have been $63.7 million for iGaming primarily driven by
continued growth in Games and Sports business lines, partially
offset by a slowdown in Aspire Core revenues due to regulatory
changes in the United Kingdom and a temporary pause in operations
in Germany prior to the Company recently securing its local license
to operate, which would have reflected 16.2% year-over-year growth
when measured in reporting currency.
- Net loss was $(6.1) million, or
$(0.18) per share, during the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a
net loss of $(0.8) million, or $(0.02) per share, during the fourth
quarter of 2022. Net loss during the fourth quarter of 2023 was
mainly due to costs attributed to the Aristocrat transaction and
the amortization attributable to the Aspire business combination,
income tax expenses and interest and finance related expenses.
- Adjusted net income1 was $1.7
million, or $0.05 per share, during the fourth quarter of 2023,
compared to $7.3 million, or $0.22 per share, during the fourth
quarter of 2022.
- Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $18.2
million during the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $18.1
million during the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase
of 0.4% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA results slightly increased
during the quarter compared to the prior year, mainly due to good
performance of the iLottery and the sports business lines, offset
primarily by the Aspire Core business due to several factors
related to the adaptation of regulatory changes as well as changes
in partner mix.
Full Year 2023 Financial
Highlights
- The total of Revenues and the
Company’s share of NPI revenues was $254.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 2023, compared to $210.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2022. These figures reflect accounting for the
majority of Aspire Core revenues on a net basis for the year ended
December 31, 2023, compared to historical figures during the year
ended December 31, 2022, which were prepared on a gross basis,
prompted by new commercial terms in certain Aspire Core contracts
which went into effect on January 1, 2023. If iGaming revenues had
been accounted for on a gross basis for the Aspire Core, the total
of Revenue and the Company’s share in NPI revenues would have been
$351.3 million, which would have reflected 15.2% year-over-year
growth when measured in reporting currency. In addition to
accounting for the new commercial terms, current year results
reflect continued growth in the Company’s iLottery, Games and
Sports business lines, partially offset by a slowdown in Aspire
Core revenues due to regulatory changes in the United Kingdom and a
temporary pause in operations in Germany prior to the Company
recently securing its local license to operate. In addition to
growth in our business lines, the strong comparison to the prior
year is also due to partial year results from the Aspire business,
as our acquisition completed on June 16, 2022.
- iLottery revenues were $57.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $53.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing an
increase of 6.3% year-over-year. In addition, the Company’s share
in NPI revenues was $63.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2023, compared to $44.5 million for the year ended December 31,
2022, representing an increase of 41.8% year-over-year. The total
of NeoGames’ iLottery revenue plus the Company’s share of NPI
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $120.0 million,
up 22.4% year-over-year, primarily driven by continued positive
growth trend across most major accounts, as well as a jackpot run
during the third quarter of 2023.
- iGaming revenues were $134.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2023. These figures reflect
accounting for the majority of Aspire Core revenues on a net basis
compared to historical figures which were prepared on a gross
basis, prompted by new commercial terms in certain Aspire Core
contracts which went into effect on January 1, 2023. If iGaming
revenues had been accounted for on a gross basis for the Aspire
Core, total revenue would have been $231.3 million for iGaming
primarily driven by continued growth in Games and Sports business
lines, partially offset by a slowdown in Aspire Core revenues due
to regulatory changes in the United Kingdom and a temporary pause
in operations in Germany prior to the Company recently securing its
local license to operate, which would have reflected 11.8%
year-over-year growth when measured in reporting currency.
- Net loss was $(18.3) million, or
$(0.54) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared
to a net loss of $(19.0) million, or $(0.64) per share, for the
year ended December 31, 2022. Net loss during the year ended
December 31, 2023 was mainly due to income tax expenses, interest
and other finance related expenses and the amortization
attributable to the Aspire business combination, offset by a
reduction in business combination related expenses.
- Adjusted net income1 was $12.8
million, or $0.38 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2023,
compared to Adjusted net loss1 of $(3.1) million, or $(0.11) per
share, for the year ended December 31, 2022.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 was $76.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $54.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing an
increase of 39.8% year-over-year.
- Cash and cash equivalents balance
as of the year ended December 31, 2023 was $29.0 million, compared
to $41.2 million at the end of 2022, resulting in net negative cash
of $12.2 million for the twelve months of 2023. The difference in
cash flows is primarily attributable to a number of key factors
including advisor payments related to the Aristocrat transaction,
slowness in Aspire Core operations, a consideration for the
acquisition of the remaining shares of GMS Entertainment Ltd. from
the managing director of Pariplay, and the impact from a bank
guarantee required to secure the Company’s German license.

Aristocrat Transaction
On May 15, 2023, the Company entered into a
definitive Business Combination Agreement (the “Agreement”) with
Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX:ALL) (“Aristocrat”) and Anaxi
Investments Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly
owned indirect subsidiary of Aristocrat (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to
which the Company is to be acquired by Aristocrat for $29.50 per
share in an all-cash transaction. Under the terms of the Agreement,
the Company agreed to transfer its statutory seat, registered
office and seat of central administration (siège de
l'administration centrale) from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to
the Cayman Islands by way of continuation (the “Continuation”) and
as promptly practical, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the
Company, which will be the surviving company and become a wholly
owned indirect subsidiary of Aristocrat (the “Merger”). On July 18,
2023, NeoGames’ shareholders approved the Agreement and the
Continuation, which will become effective subject to certain
regulatory approvals. A second NeoGames shareholder vote to approve
the Merger will take place immediately following the effectiveness
of the Continuation during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.
NeoGames’ shareholders representing approximately 61% of the
Company’s outstanding shares have executed a support agreement with
Aristocrat, pursuant to which they have also irrevocably agreed to
vote in favor of the Merger. Completion of the transaction is
contingent upon customary closing conditions, including the receipt
of all required gaming and antitrust approvals. We continue to
receive regulatory approvals as we work closely with Aristocrat
towards finalizing the deal. We currently remain on track and
expect to receive all regulatory approvals before the end of April
2024. We continue to plan to work closely with those remaining
regulatory authorities and expect a closing date in May 2024 is
possible. Please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 6-K
filed on June 21, 2023 for further detail.

Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements and information within the meaning of U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that relate to our current
expectations and views of future events. We intend such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. All statements contained in this press
release other than statements of historical facts, including
without limitation statements regarding, the completion of the
Merger and anticipated timing thereof, including with respect to
regulatory approvals and the closing, our future operating results
and financial position, our business strategy and plans, market
growth, integration plans and any future benefits and synergies
related to the Aspire acquisition, our objectives for future
operations, the expansion of our products and offerings to global
markets, and any potential impact or uncertainties relating to the
Israel-Hamas war are forward-looking statements. The words or
phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,”
“could,” “would,” “project,” “target,” and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, though not all
forward-looking statements use these words or expressions. These
forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, some of which are beyond our control. In addition,
these forward-looking statements reflect our current views with
respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future
performance. Actual outcomes may differ materially from the
information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result
of a number of factors, including, without limitation, the
following: the risk that the sale of the Company to Aristocrat may
not be completed in a timely manner or at all, or that following
the Continuation the Company may be required to reincorporate in
Luxembourg, which may adversely affect the companies’ businesses
and the price of their securities; uncertainties as to the timing
of the consummation of the transaction and the potential failure to
satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction,
including the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory
approvals; the potential for regulatory authorities to require
divestitures, behavioral remedies or other concessions in order to
obtain their approval of the proposed transaction; the occurrence
of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to
the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the effect
of the announcement or pendency of the sale of the Company to
Aristocrat on the Company’s business relationships, operating
results, and business generally; the potential that the Company’s
shareholders may not approve the transaction; expected benefits,
including financial benefits, of the transaction may not be
realized; integration of the acquisition post-closing may not occur
as anticipated, and the combined companies’ ability to achieve the
growth prospects and synergies expected from the transaction, as
well as delays, challenges and expenses associated with integrating
the combined companies’ existing businesses may exceed current
expectations; litigation related to the transaction or otherwise;
unanticipated restructuring costs may be incurred or undisclosed
liabilities assumed; attempts to retain key personnel and customers
may not succeed; risks related to diverting management’s attention
from Parent’s ongoing business operations; exposure to inflation,
currency rate and interest rate fluctuations and risks associated
with doing business locally and internationally, as well as
fluctuations in the market price of Parent and the Company’s traded
securities. We have a concentrated customer base, and our failure
to retain our existing contracts with our customers could have a
significant adverse effect on our business; our inability to
successfully integrate Aspire, or complete or integrate other
future acquisitions, could limit our future growth or otherwise be
disruptive to our ongoing business; a reduction in discretionary
consumer spending could have an adverse impact on our business; the
growth of our business largely depends on our continued ability to
procure new contracts; we incur significant costs related to the
procurement of new contracts, which we may be unable to recover in
a timely manner, or at all; intense competition exists in the
iLottery industry, and we expect competition to continue to
intensify; our information technology and infrastructure may be
vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error,
malfeasance or other disruptions; in addition to competition with
other iLottery providers, we and our customers also compete with
providers of other online offerings; the gaming and lottery
industries are heavily regulated, and changes to the regulatory
framework in the jurisdictions in which we operate could harm our
existing operations; while we have not experienced a material
impact to date, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including variants,
and similar health epidemics and contagious disease outbreaks could
significantly disrupt our operations and adversely affect our
business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition;
and other risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F
for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 28, 2023, and other
documents filed with or furnished to the SEC. It is not possible
for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the
impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements we may make. We caution you therefore against relying on
these forward-looking statements, and we qualify all of our
forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. These
statements reflect management’s current expectations regarding
future events and operating performance and speak only as of the
date of this press release. You should not put undue reliance on
any forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee that future results, levels of
activity, performance and events and circumstances reflected in the
forward-looking statements will be achieved or will occur. Except
as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update
or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the
date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Key
Performance Indicators
This press release may include E(L)BIT, EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA, NPI and NPI Revenues Interest, adjusted net income
(loss), Adjusted EPS and revenues growth measured in constant
currency which are financial measures not presented in accordance
with IFRS. We use these financial measures to supplement our
results presented in accordance with IFRS. We include these
non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by our management
to evaluate our operating performance and trends and to make
strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new
investments. The Company presents revenues growth measured in
constant currency since we use constant currency information to
provide a framework in assessing how our business and geographic
segments performed excluding the effects of foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations and believe this information is useful
to investors to facilitate comparisons and better identify trends
in our business.
E(L)BIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net
income (loss), Adjusted EPS and revenues growth measured in
constant currency. We define “E(L)BIT” as net income (loss), plus
income taxes, and interest and finance-related expenses. We define
“EBITDA” as E(L)BIT, plus depreciation and amortization. We define
Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus share-based compensation,
prospective business combination and business combination related
expenses and the Company’s share in NPI depreciation and
amortization. We define adjusted net income (loss) as net loss
adjusted by adding amortization attributable to intangible assets
acquired in business combination, net of tax. We define adjusted
EPS as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding. We define revenues growth
measured in constant currency as revenue adjusted by using the
average foreign exchange rates for fiscal year 2023, as reported by
third parties, when converting revenues recorded in foreign
currencies to US dollar. We believe E(L)BIT, EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and revenues growth measured in
constant currency are useful in evaluating our operating
performance, as they are regularly used by security analysts,
institutional investors and others in analyzing operating
performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income
(loss) and revenues growth measured in constant currency are not
intended to be a substitute for any IFRS financial measure and, as
calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of performance of other companies in other industries or
within the same industry.
NPI. Refers to NeoPollard Interactive LLC that
represents the Company’s 50/50 joint venture with Pollard Banknote
Limited (“Pollard”). The joint venture was formed for the purpose
of identifying, pursuing, winning and executing iLottery contracts
in the North American lottery market. NPI is managed by an
executive board of four members, consisting of two members
appointed by NeoGames and two members appointed by Pollard. NPI has
its own general manager and dedicated workforce and operates as a
separate entity. However, it relies on NeoGames and Pollard for
certain services, such as technology development, business
operations and support services from NeoGames and corporate
services, including legal, banking and certain human resources
services, from Pollard.
Company share in NPI Revenues. NPI Revenues is
not recorded as revenues in our consolidated statements of
comprehensive loss, but rather is reflected in our consolidated
financial statements in accordance with the equity method, as we
share 50% of the profit of NPI subject to certain adjustments.
