Thomas Kalita, CEO, comments: The revenues in Q1 went down by 24.82 % to €8,184,154 compared with the same quarter one year ago. This is partly explained by the new B2B model which allows us, as well as our B2B partners, to focus further on the respective core business. For our Group, it releases time and resources to focus more on our propriety iGaming platform and surrounding services. The revenues in addition went down due to a relatively weaker second part of Q1, mainly due to higher customer winnings and we saw this trend continue until the end of April. In the last 3 weeks the revenues have gone up making us feel more confident that we are on the right path, both as regards the new context within the new B2B model but also with PremierGaming. The customer deposits on the iGaming platform, an important KPI indicating the health of the iGaming platform, grew 4.79% to €20,165,128 in Q1 2025, compared to €19,243,021 in Q1 2024. As regards the EBIT and Net Profit our continued focus on cost control, especially in our main cost drivers in Cost of Sales and Marketing for PremierGaming, as well as the change in the cost structure due to the new B2B partner model, has had a significant impact. As a result, the EBIT in the quarter increased by 10.47% to €1,732,394 and the Net Profit increased by 64.43% to €1,356,431, both compared to the same quarter a year ago. We also intensified the work to decrease the Group’s financial cost.
