NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–

During the quarter the Group projects to have set a number of new monthly ex-US records, with December being particularly impressive, achieving new highs for deposits and Total Revenue.<\/p>\n
\nFor the full-year, the Group expects to have surpassed its previously issued ex-US guidance targets of Total Revenue of \u20ac1.60 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of greater than \u20ac360 million.<\/p>\n
\nNew ex-US records were also expected to have been achieved in 2024 for both Total Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, with Total Revenue growing by ~18% to ~\u20ac1.66 billion and Adjusted EBITDA growing by more than 50%, anticipated to be between \u20ac387 million and \u20ac392 million, a margin of greater than 23%.<\/p>\n
\nThe developing U.S. business is also anticipated to have delivered new records in the fourth quarter \u2013 October was an all-time high for Total Revenue, which was subsequently surpassed in both November and December. The expected Q4 2024 investment into the U.S. business is ~\u20ac11 million, which would bring the total investment for the year to ~\u20ac61 million. Given the reduced footprint and sole focus on iGaming in the U.S., this investment is expected to reduce materially in 2025.<\/p>\n

This momentum has continued into the start of 2025, setting a solid foundation for the year ahead. I would like to thank the global Super Group team for an excellent 2024, and I look forward to an even better 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nA more detailed update, including a full reconciliation of any non-GAAP measure to the most comparable IFRS financial measure (corresponding GAAP metric) will be provided when the Group reports its fourth quarter and full-year 2024 earnings in February.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/b>The financial results included in this press release are preliminary, have not been audited and are subject to change upon completion of the audit of Super Group\u2019s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result, these preliminary results may be different from the actual results that will be reflected in Super Group\u2019s consolidated financial statements to be included as part of Super Group\u2019s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d).<\/p>\nNon-GAAP Financial Information
\n
<\/b>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 (\u201cIASB\u201d, hereafter \u201cIFRS\u201d).<\/p>\n\nAdjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP company-specific performance measure that Super Group uses to supplement the Group\u2019s results presented in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA is defined as profit before depreciation, amortization, finance income, finance expense and income tax expense\/credit. 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.<\/p>\n
\nSuper Group believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Group\u2019s operating performance as they are similar to measures reported by the Group\u2019s public competitors and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects.<\/p>\n
\nManagement 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 it excludes significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Super Group\u2019s financial statements. 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.<\/p>\n
\nWe do not provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable IFRS financial measure (corresponding GAAP metric) on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts.<\/p>\n
\nSuper Group urges investors to review the reconciliation in the Group\u2019s upcoming press release announcing financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2024 performance and the Group\u2019s upcoming Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. In addition, other companies, including companies in Super Group\u2019s industry, may calculate similarly named non-GAAP measures differently than Super Group, which limits their usefulness in comparing Super Group\u2019s financial results with theirs.<\/p>\n
