Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains certain "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") which are based upon Bragg Gaming Group Inc.'s (the "Bragg") current internal expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs which are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Bragg's control and many of which are subject to change. Such forward-looking information may include information regarding Bragg's financial position, business strategy, growth strategies, the status of currently planned acquisitions, addressable markets, budgets, operations, financial results, financial targets and expansion plans. In some cases, such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "expect", "likely", "may", "will", "should", "would", "intend", or "anticipate", "potential", "proposed", "estimate" and other similar words, including negative and grammatical variations thereof, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" happen, or by discussions of strategy. Forward-looking statements include estimates, plans, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, targets, guidance, or other statements that are not statements of historical fact.
Although Bragg believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Bragg is unable to guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements and investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. Moreover, neither Bragg nor any other person assumes responsibility for the outcome of the forward-looking statements. Many of the risks and other factors which could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are beyond the control of Bragg. The risks and other factors include, but are not limited to: regulatory landscape and potential regulatory changes in significant jurisdictions in which Bragg operates or plans to operate; concentrated customer base accounts for significant portion of revenues of Bragg; the impact of regulatory changes in Germany after July 1, 2021; competition and changes in the competitive landscape; reliance on top customers and key personnel and employees; the completion of strategic acquisitions by Bragg and management of growth; reliance on strategic alliances and relationships with third party network infrastructure developers, key suppliers, and service platform vendors; new business areas and geographic markets; legal status of real-money gaming and changes to and interpretations of laws and regulations; intrusion or other security breaches, cyberattacks, or cybercrime; the costs and potential impact of obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals, and complying with existing and proposed laws in a heavily regulated industry; the plans, costs, and timing for future research and development of Bragg's current and future technologies, including additional platforms; deriving revenue from players located in jurisdictions in which Bragg does not hold a license, and the impact of customers' operations in unregulated or prohibited jurisdictions; projections of market prices and costs; expected revenues and the ability to attain profitability; expectations regarding the ability to raise capital on acceptable terms; access to payment processors and currency, exchange and interest rates; Bragg's management and protection of intellectual property and other proprietary rights; changes in, or in the interpretation of, legislation with respect to Bragg's tax liabilities and changes in taxation regimes; prices and price volatility of Bragg's products; money laundering and fraudulent activity; disruptions to markets, economic activity, financing, and supply chains, and a deterioration of general economic conditions. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of such risks and factors is not exhaustive and that additional information on these and other factors that could affect the Company's operations or financial results are contained in Bragg's documents filed under its profile atwww.sedarplus.ca, including Bragg's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Annual MD&A").
The forward-looking statements set forth herein reflect Bragg's expectations as at the date of this presentation and is subject to change after such date. Bragg disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law. Forward-looking information and other information contained herein concerning management's general expectations concerning the gaming industry are based on estimates prepared by management using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which management believes to be reasonable. However, this data is inherently imprecise, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics. While management is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented herein, industry data is subject to change based on various factors.
Non-IFRS Measures
This presentation makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures and metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of Bragg's operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. Bragg also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures, including industry metrics, in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management also uses non-IFRS measures and industry metrics in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, the preparation of annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of executive compensation. See related disclosure in Bragg's Annual MD&A (including under the heading "Limitations of Key Metrics and Other Data").
