Comments from the CEO

We are very pleased with the result in Q4 being the best quarter
ever in the Group’s history on all Key Performance Indicators:

✓ Revenues
✓ EBIT
✓ Net Profit
✓ Earnings per Share
✓ Customer Deposits
✓ New Registered Customers
✓ New Depositing Customers
Thomas Kalita, CEO Angler Gaming plc ✓ Acitve Customers.

Premiergaming Ltd, the Group’s company focusing on


Northern Europe, had a strong development in new depositing
customers, but the revenues suffered slightly from unusually
high customer winnings during Q4.

Q1 2021 has started very good. The Group’s average daily Net
Gaming Revenue for the first 41 days in Q1 2021 is 27%
higher compared to the average daily Net Gaming Revenue in
Q4 2020.

Our excellent people, operations and investments in various


fields continued to pay off.

We continue to focus on growing globally and invest in new B-


to-B co-operations, new brands and products. We are planning
to launch a Sportsbook in selected test markets in early Q2
2021. In addition, our implementation of a more robust risk-
averse approach as regards fluctuations in currency exchange
rates has resulted in a higher level of cash-in-hand compared
to trade receivables and less exposure towards currency
exchange volatility.

2020 was a very successful year where we continued our


strong growth with strong profit margin and all-time high in
all Key Performance Indicators. We continue our commitment
to invest in our people and continue to grow a strong and
flexible organisation throughout the Group. In addition, we
continue to look for acquisitions and other opportunities.

Covid19

While we recognise the extraordinary challenges surrounding the COVID-19 situation, our staff, mainly
working from home, have continued to serve customers and have kept all operations going. We are
mindful that in case of persistence of the pandemic, the business environment outlook over the long
term may present higher than normal levels of uncertainty, and a clear determination of the overall
financial impact cannot be made at this stage. Currently, however, there have been no observable
negative effects on the business. The Group has already taken and will continue taking steps to
safeguard the business, and the strategic priority remains the long-term sustainability of the Group with
a focus on growing the business.
