Article content TORONTO — Bragg Gaming Group (BRAG:CA) ('Bragg' or the 'Company'), a leading content and technology provider to the online gaming industry, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025. Article content Article content Summary of 2Q25 Financial and Operational Highlights Euros (millions) (1) 2Q25 2Q24 Change Revenue € 26.1 € 24.9 4.9 % Gross profit € 13.7 € 12.4 10.8 % Gross profit margin 52.7 % 49.9 % 280bps Adjusted EBITDA (2) € 3.5 € 3.6 (4.3 )% Adjusted EBITDA Margin (2) 13.3 % 14.5 % (128)bps Operating loss € (2.3 ) € (1.2 ) 93.3 % Article content (1) Bragg's reporting currency is Euros.

(2) 'Adjusted EBITDA' and 'Adjusted EBITDA Margin' are non-IFRS measures. For important information on the Company's non-IFRS measures, see 'Non-IFRS Financial Measures' below. Article content Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg, commented: 'In our 2024 strategic review, we identified cash flow, integration and margin as key priorities and value drivers for Bragg Gaming Group. In Q2 we began to focus on integration and optimization. We identified and actioned key areas where we have now optimized our cost structure and have implemented strategies to leverage synergies from acquisitions such as Spin Games and Wild Streak Gaming. Article content Specifically, we have realized EUR 2 Million in annualized synergies from the business, unlocking improved margins for the second half of 2025. Our leadership conducted a comprehensive review of the business to ensure cash flow and margin remain central to all decisions, supported by Bragg's strong underlying cash generation and margin profile. Article content While our top-line growth may appear modest, I want to be clear about our strategic focus. With increasing gaming taxes being implemented in key markets like Brazil, The Netherlands, and Romania, we're prioritizing improved margin and cash flow performance over aggressive revenue expansion. That said, we believe that there are substantial, highly accretive growth opportunities ahead for this business. We intend to pursue these opportunities methodically, with a focus on both margins and cash flow. Article content In terms of content and markets, proprietary content is growing in the U.S. and LatAm. While market conditions in The Netherlands remain challenging with the igaming market gross gaming revenue down 25% this year, Bragg is still outperforming the market, despite these factors coming into play. Article content With this focus on margin and cash flow we have also revised our revenue expectations for the year, while forecasting an improved Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the second half of 2025. We are prioritizing high margin opportunities versus low margin revenue. Article content We've also enhanced our leadership team with two transformational key hires, firstly adding Luka Pataky as our new EVP of AI and Innovation. Luka's appointment comes as we launch an initiative to drive an all encompassing AI-first cultural and technology based change at Bragg. Article content In addition, experienced iGaming industry executive Scott Milford also joins us as our EVP of Group Content, and will propel the next phase in the growth of our online casino content. Article content In summary, we are focused on driving cash flow, integration, and margin, and positioning Bragg for sustainable, profitable growth. The actions taken in Q2 position us to achieve a 20% Adjusted EBITDA Margin target in the second half of 2025.' Article content Key Highlights: Article content Strategic Market Expansion: Launched content with Fanatics Casino across Tri-State area, significantly expanding U.S. content footprint. U.S. Growth Acceleration: Signed exclusive content development agreement with Hard Rock Digital; builds on momentum in U.S. market with increasing share of proprietary content revenue. Brazil Market Focus: Strengthened position in newly regulated Brazilian iGaming market through strategic partnership and investment in local studio RapidPlay. Innovation and Product Development: Launched Big Ticket Bonanza, a gamification tool to drive player engagement. Leadership Strengthening: Appointed Scott Milford as EVP, Group Content, and Luka Pataky as EVP, AI and Innovation, enhancing leadership across AI, content, innovation and technology. Debt: During the quarter, we repaid USD 5.0m of the USD 7.0m secured promissory note that is outstanding. The loan maturity has been extended to September 15, 2025, with an option for a further one-month extension if required. We are in the advanced stages of securing a new working capital revolving debt faculty from a Tier 1 Canadian bank. While the process is taking longer than anticipated, we are optimistic that this will close in Q3. Operational Update: Issued corporate update outlining growth priorities, improved margin initiatives, and expanding addressable markets. Article content 2025 Outlook Article content Previously, the Company anticipated double-digit growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2025 which was driven by a strategic focus on expanding in regulated markets, growing proprietary and exclusive content portfolio, and continuing momentum in growth markets such as the U.S. and LatAm. Article content The Company's focus is on cash flow, integration and margin and as such, while the strategy remains the same, the areas of attention and focus have shifted. The full year 2025 guidance has been revised to reflect higher gaming taxes and market softness in the Netherlands and headwinds in Brazil, as well as broader market conditions impacting key regulated markets. The Company now anticipates full year 2025 revenue between €106.0 million and €108.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of €16.5 million to €18.5 million. Article content This change reflects a deliberate shift toward higher-quality earnings. The Company is prioritizing margin and cash generation over lower-margin revenue, and synergies realized post-quarter end to become a leaner operation put the Company on track to move Adjusted EBITDA Margin a few percentages higher in the second half of the year compared to the first half of the year. The Company remains focused on growing the business in a sustainable and margin-accretive manner, with strong momentum in the proprietary content and technology pipeline positioning Bragg for long-term profitable growth.

Article content Non-IFRS Financial Measures Article content Statements in this news release make reference to non-IFRS financial measures, including 'Adjusted EBITDA' and 'Adjusted EBITDA Margin', which are non-IFRS financial measures that the Company believes are appropriate to provide meaningful comparison with, and to enhance an overall understanding of, the Company's past financial performance and prospects for the future. The Company believes these non-IFRS financial measures will provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of its business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating its business and making decisions. Although management believes these financial measures are important in evaluating the Company, they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. These measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. These non-IFRS measures and metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may nor otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. Article content 'Adjusted EBITDA' means EBITDA after: (i) adding back share based compensation; (ii) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on lease modification; (iii) deducting lease payments recorded as a depreciation of right-of-use assets and lease interest expense; (iv) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on re-measurement of contingent and deferred consideration; (v) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on re-measurement of derivative liabilities; (vi) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on settlement of convertible debt; (vii) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on disposal of intangible assets and (viii) adding back certain exceptional costs. 'Adjusted EBITDA Margin' means Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. A reconciliation to IFRS financial measures is provided in this news release as well as in Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis ('MD&A') for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. Article content Future Oriented Financial Information Article content This news release and, in particular the information in respect of Bragg's prospective revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may contain future oriented financial information ('FOFI') within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook on Bragg's proposed activities and potential results and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The FOFI has been prepared based on assumptions with respect to customer growth and market expansion. Bragg and its management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments; however, the actual results of operations of Bragg and the resulting financial results may vary from the amounts set forth herein and such variations may be material. FOFI contained in this news release was made as of the date of this news release and Bragg disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this news release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law.

That same night, Ivan Abramov brings his witty, offbeat new show Hi-Hi, Ha-Ha to Russian-speaking fans, fusing cultural quirks and personal anecdotes. Also taking the stage on 12 October is Delhi-based Gaurav Kapoor, whose Hindi set promises outrageous tales of married life, 90s nostalgia, and corporate madness—all delivered with the irreverent wit that's earned him an Amazon Prime special and legions of fans.

Investors in Bragg Gaming Group (TSE:BRAG) have unfortunately lost 28% over the last year
It's easy to match the overall market return by buying an index fund. While individual stocks can be big winners, plenty more fail to generate satisfactory returns. That downside risk was realized by Bragg Gaming Group Inc. (TSE:BRAG) shareholders over the last year, as the share price declined 28%. That falls noticeably short of the market return of around 23%. However, the longer term returns haven't been so bad, with the stock down 6.2% in the last three years. With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Bragg Gaming Group wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth. In the last twelve months, Bragg Gaming Group increased its revenue by 9.8%. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. Given this lacklustre revenue growth, the share price drop of 28% seems pretty appropriate. In a hot market it's easy to forget growth is the life-blood of a loss making company. But if you buy a loss making company then you could become a loss making investor. The company's revenue and earnings (over time) are depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money. So we recommend checking out this free report showing consensus forecasts Bragg Gaming Group shareholders are down 28% for the year, but the market itself is up 23%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 0.9%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 2 warning signs with Bragg Gaming Group , and understanding them should be part of your investment process. Bragg Gaming Group is not the only stock insiders are buying. So take a peek at this free list of small cap companies at attractive valuations which insiders have been buying.
