Gentoo Media today announces its interim results for the first quarter of 2025.
The quarter marked a transitional phase for the company, impacted by market
headwinds in Brazil and a shift away from lower value activities, but also by
decisive steps to sharpen focus and strengthen long-term resilience. We expect
to see margins improve and a resumption of growth in H2 2025.
Q1 2025 Financial Highlights
· Gentoo Media reported revenue of EUR 24.8 million (EUR 28.0 million), down
11% YoY predominantly due to the impact of market regulation in Brazil
· EBITDA before special items amounted to EUR 8.2 million (EUR 13.5 million)
with a margin of 33% (48%)
· Net cash flow impacted by deferred payments related to previous years
acquisitions and split related payments totalling EUR 22.5 million
Performance in Q1 primarily reflects regulatory disruption in Brazil and a
reduction in some low margin activities. Despite these headwinds, Gentoo Media
maintains a strong financial position, with robust recurring revenue and a cash
-generative operating model.
Post-Demerger Strategic initiatives
In the wake of the demerger from the Platform & Sportsbook business, Gentoo
Media launched a comprehensive strategic review. Completed shortly after the
quarter, the process has resulted in a more focused, agile, and resilient
business:
· Streamlined operations: Lower-margin activities discontinued to enable full
focus on scalable and sustainable growth. Cost base resized with significant
annual run-rate savings.
· Organisational capacity strengthened: Senior talent additions, including the
appointment of a new CFO, have bolstered leadership.
· Strategic focus: Streamlining the organisation will eliminate
inefficiencies, remove duplication and ensure that resources are focused on the
highest-value areas of the business.
CEO Jonas Warrer comments: "Q1 was a quarter of change - and a necessary one. We
faced external pressures and made deliberate decisions to position Gentoo Media
for what's ahead. The result is a more focused company with a clear growth
strategy and the leadership in place to deliver it. We now move forward with
confidence, driven by our ambition to create long-term value for players,
partners, and shareholders alike."
Outlook
Gentoo Media enters Q2 with renewed momentum and strategic clarity. The business
has a strong platform to navigate market fluctuations and capitalise on emerging
opportunities across regulated iGaming markets. We are well-placed to resume
growth in the second half of the year and we expect to see full-year revenues
broadly in line with 2024 and EBITDA margins in the range of 40-45%.
