  • Starting with operational and marketing expansion updates. 2024 has been a transformational year for Golden Matrix, reflecting broad-based growth, strong execution, and continued momentum as we scale our iGaming and online sports betting operations globally. Despite a high competitive landscape, we have a distinct advantage provided by our diversity, increasing global footprint, state-of-the-art technology, AI-driven product enhancements, and customer acquisition efficiencies which have strengthened our market position, revenues, and profitability.

    先從營運與行銷擴張的更新開始。2024 年對 Golden Matrix 而言是具轉型意義的一年,展現全面性的成長、強勁的執行力,以及在我們於全球擴大 iGaming 與線上運動博彩營運規模時持續累積的動能。儘管競爭環境激烈,我們仍具備明顯優勢,來自於業務多元性、持續擴大的全球版圖、最先進的技術、AI 驅動的產品強化,以及更高效率的客戶獲取能力,進一步鞏固了我們的市場地位、營收與獲利能力。

  • Additionally, our strategic acquisitions of Meridianbet and Classics for a Cause have enhanced our brand value, expanded our revenue base, and reinforced our competitive positioning in high-growth iGaming markets. Financial year 2024 has also been a year of unprecedented scalability, driven by our next-gen technology and AI-powered optimization tools. As we continue to expand our footprint in high-growth regulated markets, we remain well positioned to capitalize on digital megatrends, increase player acquisition efficiency, and solidify our leadership in the global iGaming and sportsbook ecosystem.

    此外,我們策略性收購 Meridianbet 與 Classics for a Cause,提升了品牌價值、擴大了營收基礎,並強化我們在高成長 iGaming 市場的競爭定位。2024 財年同時也是前所未有的可擴展性之年,主要受惠於我們的次世代技術與 AI 驅動的最佳化工具。隨著我們持續在高成長的受監管市場擴張版圖,我們仍具備良好定位以掌握數位巨趨勢、提升玩家獲取效率,並鞏固我們在全球 iGaming 與運動博彩生態系中的領導地位。

  • Thank you, Brian, and thank you for the kind words. I look forward to working with you and your team to drive profitable growth, enhance our internal and external customer service, and partner with our operations teams to create value.

    謝謝你,Brian,也謝謝你的美言。我期待與你及你的團隊合作,推動獲利性成長、提升我們對內與對外的客戶服務,並與營運團隊攜手創造價值。

  • Good morning, everyone. I'm excited to be part of Golden Matrix Group and to present our fiscal 2024 financial results and capital allocation strategy. This has been a transformational year with strong revenue growth, disciplined cost management, and exciting developments in our product portfolios. Our focus remains on profitability, operational efficiency, and maximizing shareholder value.

    各位早安。我很高興加入 Golden Matrix Group,並向各位報告我們 2024 財年的財務結果與資本配置策略。這是一個具轉型意義的一年,營收強勁成長、成本管理嚴謹,且我們的產品組合也有令人振奮的進展。我們的重點仍放在獲利能力、營運效率,以及股東價值最大化。

  • First, let's go to the financial performance for fiscal 2024. Revenue grew by 63% to $151 million. Our organic revenue growth rate was 17%, reflecting strong contributions from all of our businesses. Gross profit increased 30% year over year to $89 million, supported by our higher margin gaming products and AI-driven customer engagement.

    首先,我們來看 2024 財年的財務表現。營收成長 63%,達到 1.51 億美元。我們的有機營收成長率為 17%,反映各項業務皆有強勁貢獻。毛利年增 30% 至 8,900 萬美元,主要受惠於較高毛利的遊戲產品以及 AI 驅動的客戶互動。

  • Net income declined 111% year over year to a net loss of $1.5 million, primarily due to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $4.5 million, stock-based compensation of $4.7 million, interest expense of $3.5 million, and restructuring expense of $2.2 million. Adjusting for these costs, adjusted EBITDA rose 4% to $22.2 million.

    淨利年減 111%,轉為淨損 150 萬美元,主要原因包括:與收購相關的無形資產攤銷 450 萬美元、股份基礎給付 470 萬美元、利息費用 350 萬美元,以及重整費用 220 萬美元。剔除上述成本後,調整後 EBITDA 成長 4% 至 2,220 萬美元。

  • Turning to the fourth quarter, revenue grew by 81% to $46 million, with an organic revenue growth rate accelerating to 20%. Gross profit also improved in the fourth quarter, increasing by 45% year over year to $26.8 million, demonstrating improving profitability as our offerings continue to scale.

    再看第四季,營收成長 81% 至 4,600 萬美元,有機營收成長率加速至 20%。第四季毛利亦有所改善,年增 45% 至 2,680 萬美元,顯示隨著我們的產品持續擴大規模,獲利能力正在提升。

  • Net income declined 207% year over year to a net loss of $2 million, primarily due to acquisition-related interest expense of $2.7 million, amortization of $1.5 million, and restructuring costs of $1.2 million, as well as stock-based compensation of $1.5 million. Adjusting for these costs, adjusted EBITDA grew 69% to $6.5 million, demonstrating strong operating leverage as we finish the year.

    淨利年減 207%,轉為淨損 200 萬美元,主要原因包括:與收購相關的利息費用 270 萬美元、攤銷 150 萬美元、重整成本 120 萬美元,以及股份基礎給付 150 萬美元。剔除上述成本後,調整後 EBITDA 成長 69% 至 650 萬美元,顯示在年度收官之際,我們展現出強勁的營運槓桿。

  • We continue to have a strong balance sheet. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $30 million, reflecting healthy liquidity and financial flexibility; and our net debt leverage ratio of 1.8 positions us for continued investment in high growth opportunities. These results demonstrate our ability to scale efficiently while delivering profitable growth.

    我們持續維持強勁的資產負債表。現金及約當現金為3,000萬美元,反映出健康的流動性與財務彈性;而我們1.8的淨負債槓桿比率,使我們得以持續投資於高成長機會。這些成果展現了我們在實現獲利成長的同時,亦能高效率擴張的能力。

  • We remain committed to deploying capital in a disciplined manner to support, first, our strategic growth initiatives by expanding into high-value gaming verticals and new geographies; second, our technology innovation through investing in AI-driven personalization and live betting experiences; third, operational efficiencies from expanding margins and leveraging cost synergies across acquisitions and creating operating leverage; and, of course, maximizing shareholder returns through maintaining a balanced approach to our use of free cash flow and leverage to support growth, invest in our offerings, and reduce net interest and cash taxes paid.

    我們仍致力於以嚴謹自律的方式配置資本,以支持:第一,透過拓展至高價值的博彩垂直領域與新地理市場,推進我們的策略性成長計畫;第二,透過投資AI驅動的個人化與即時投注平台體驗,推動技術創新;第三,透過擴大利潤率、在併購間發揮成本綜效並創造營運槓桿,以提升營運效率;當然,也包括透過在自由現金流使用與槓桿水準之間維持平衡,來最大化股東報酬,以支持成長、投資我們的產品與服務,並降低淨利息與已支付的現金稅負。

  • With a strong balance sheet and positive free cash flow, we are well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and maximize long-term shareholder value.

    憑藉強勁的資產負債表與正向的自由現金流,我們已具備推動永續成長並最大化長期股東價值的有利條件。

  • I will now hand you back to Brian Goodman to discuss divisional performance. Brian?

  • Thanks, Rich. Golden Matrix's success is built on the strength of our diverse business units, each contributing to our broad-based growth and market expansion. A multi-pronged and diversified approach ensures we are well-positioned across multiple verticals, allowing us to capitalize on high growth opportunities in both B2B and B2C segments.

  • Each of our core divisions delivered strong results in 2024, reflecting the effectiveness of our strategic execution and operational resilience. Taking a closer look at each division's performance, starting with our UK-operating RKings Competitions and its record-breaking performance.

    我們各核心事業部在2024年皆交出強勁成績,反映出我們策略執行的有效性與營運韌性。接下來更深入檢視各事業部表現,先從我們在英國營運的RKings Competitions及其破紀錄的表現談起。

  • RKings has once again delivered an exceptional year of growth, setting new all-time records across sales and profitability. We continue to see strong engagement and increasing ticket sales, reinforcing RKings as a leading tournament platform in the UK.

    RKings再次交出卓越的成長年度,在銷售與獲利能力方面創下新的歷史紀錄。我們持續看到高度參與度與不斷增加的售票量,進一步鞏固RKings作為英國領先競賽平台的地位。

  • Our organic revenue in fiscal 2024 surged 30%, reaching $36 million, up from $28 million in the comparable prior year. RKings awarded an impressive $22 million in prizes in 2024. Gross profit also saw a significant boost, climbing to $6.3 million from $5.8 million(sic - see slide 13, "$6 million from $5.6 million") in 2023.

    我們在2024會計年度的有機營收大增30%,達到3,600萬美元,高於前一可比年度的2,800萬美元。RKings於2024年發放了令人印象深刻的2,200萬美元獎金。毛利亦顯著提升,從2023年的580萬美元(原文誤植—見投影片13,「從560萬美元增至600萬美元」)上升至630萬美元。

  • One of our recent competitions, offering the choice between £400,000 in cash or a four-bedroom house and a rare Lamborghini, sold 116,000 tickets, generating $665,000 in total revenue for one single tournament. With growing player demand and a highly scalable model, RKings is positioned for continued expansion and record-breaking success in 2025.

    我們近期的一項競賽,提供在40萬英鎊現金或一棟四房住宅加上一輛稀有藍寶堅尼之間的選擇,共售出116,000張票,單一賽事即創造總營收665,000美元。在玩家需求持續成長且商業模式高度可擴展的帶動下,RKings有望在2025年持續擴張並再創破紀錄佳績。

  • GMAG, our seamless B2B gaming platform. GMAG has delivered outstanding growth this year, reinforcing Golden Matrix's market-leading position in the industry. In just Q4 alone, wagering volume grew by 27% to $1.14 billion, contributing towards a total of $4.7 billion for the year, an impressive growth of 84% over 2023. This exciting growth reflects strong demand for our platform and a highly scalable infrastructure.

To further enhance sales penetration and strengthen customer retention, we continue to expand our game portfolio, onboarding more game providers to offer a wider selection of high-performing titles. With our commitment to innovation, GMAG is perfectly positioned to drive sustained growth and maximize value for operations and players alike.

    此外,我們預計在短短幾個月內就將突破200萬筆訂單,這項成就凸顯了該平台背後驚人的動能與未來潛力。除了成長之外,我們回饋軍人、退伍軍人、慈善合作夥伴及其他慈善組織的承諾,仍是我們成功的核心支柱。
