LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / December 11, 2020 / Golden Matrix Group Inc. (OTC PINK:GMGI), a developer and licenser of social gaming platforms, systems and gaming content, today reported that its third fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2020 achieved almost $1.5 million in revenues and represents the company's ninth consecutive quarter of profitability.
The company said acceletration in total revenues was supported by strong revenue contributions from a non-related-party distributor, which also accounted for an increase in cost of goods sold and a decrease in overall gross profit. "Although the margins are lower than our historical business margins," said CEO Brian Goodman, "the revenues they generate will be exponentially higher and continue to scale, and margins are expected to increase over time."
Mr. Goodman noted that GMGI achieved profitability in Q3 with strong positive cash flow and a balance sheet that continues to improve with each quarter. As a result - and with the completion during the quarter of a non-brokered $1.8 million private placement - the company's cash position has increased to just over $5.0 million, up 170 percent from $1.9 million at fiscal year-end January 31, 2020. Total assets grew to $6.8 million, up 86 percent from $3.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021.
As previously announced, Golden Matrix entered into strategic distribution and marketing pacts with two of the industry's leading sports betting and gambling software and trading services providers: Amelco UK Limited in October and Playtech plc (LSE:PTEC.L; OTC:PYTCF) in November. "We are extremely excited about these new opportunities for the Golden Matrix brand as we continue to grow our core business," said Mr. Goodman. "The integration with Amelco's sports betting platform and the cross-distribution of content with Playtech are expected to be completed shortly and producing added revenues and profits beginning in early 2021. Currently, we are also in discussions with other successful industry players, and only considering those transactions or acquisitions that can complement and add profitably to our core organic growth.
"In addition to strengthening the balance sheet during the quarter and beginning our entry into new vertical markets through these key partnerships, we continued to expand the board of directors and upgrade corporate governance. We have made our application to the Nasdaq Capital Market, and we believe the uplisting of GMGI shares to a national exchange - in coordination with our anticipated growth - will have a positive impact on shareholder value."
