Gaming Innovation Group reports Q1 2019

Article Img 06 May, 2019

Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) reports revenues of €32.4 million and an EBITDA of €4.1 million.

“The Company delivered an EBITDA of €4.1m in Q1 and the key highlight was all time high revenues and EBITDA in our media business. It is a performance I am reasonably satisfied with in light of the loss of a major B2B customer which we announced in Q4-18, and the new regulation in Sweden which is impacting both our B2C and B2B revenues. We had anticipated this and managed the impact by careful cost control.

The business is robust with cash flow from operating activities of €2.6m.GiG has become better and more competitive as the Company matures. Our leadership has never been stronger, our processes are more robust, and our strategic understanding and intent has evolved. I am looking forward with confidence to the growth opportunities for the rest of the year.“, says Robin Reed, CEO of GiG.
