GiG Software Plc (First North: GiG SDB; OTCQX: GIGXF), a leading B2B iGaming technology company, is pleased to announce its financial results for the second quarter ("Q2 2026") and first half ("H1 2026") of the year ending 31 December 2026 ("FY 2026").
Key Operational Highlights
? Following the period end, entered into an agreement on principle commercial terms signed to acquire an 80% majority stake in 888AFRICA, a cash-generative, profitable, fast-growing African B2C operator, for a proposed consideration of €16.4 million, to be funded through a mix of equity and convertible debt with existing shareholders, subject to final approvals and signature of share purchase agreement
? Delivered the previously announced €4.5 million annualised cost savings programme in full, with a further €6.0 million of annualised savings initiated in June through primarily the closure of the white label business and exiting from the US and Philippines markets
? Four contract renewals signed during the period, alongside three new operators signed for the Alberta market launch
? Nine brand launches achieved during the quarter, in key markets of the UK and Canada
Financial Summary
? Q2 2026 revenue of €8.8 million (Q2 2025: €9.3 million), down 5% year on year, primarily reflecting the insolvency of Richmond Atlantic and lower non-recurring revenue
? Q2 2026 adjusted EBITDA of €0.8 million (Q2 2025: €1.0 million) at a margin of 9% (Q2 2025: 11%)
? Q2 2026 operating loss of €6.9 million (Q2 2025: loss of €3.7 million), significantly impacted by one-off bad debt provisions of €3 million
? H1 2026 revenue of €17.8 million (H1 2025: €18.4 million); H1 2026 adjusted EBITDA of €1.0 million (H1 2025: €1.4 million)
? Cash and cash equivalents of €3.5 million as at 30 June 2026 (30 June 2025: €4.3 million)
Outlook
? Pending completion of the proposed acquisition, the Group anticipates combined revenue of €44-48 million and adjusted EBITDA of €5-7 million in FY 2026, assuming a full contribution from 888AFRICA for Q4 2026
? Continued cost discipline, integration planning for 888AFRICA, and delivery against the contracted launch pipeline expected through the remainder of FY 2026
? Confidence that a fully integrated Group including a right-sized core business, aligned with a high-growth African platform, creates fully diversified and structurally stronger company capable of delivering sustained growth in 2027 and beyond
? Post integration, the combined Group of 888AFRICA and GiG is expected to be cash flow positive on a quarterly basis
Richard Carter, Chief Executive Officer of GIG, commented:
"I am pleased to update shareholders on the decisive action we have taken this year to reshape GiG into a leaner, more focused business, alongside our proposed transformational acquisition.
We have now delivered the €4.5 million annualised cost savings programme announced in January in full, and in June initiated a further €6.0 million of annualised savings primarily through the closure of our white label business and our exiting the US and Philippines markets. Together, these actions substantially right-size the Group's cost base and keep us on track to be cash generative by the end of the financial year.
Alongside this, I can confirm we are in the final stages of agreeing to purchase an 80% stake 888AFRICA from Evoke, a cash-generative, profitable, fast growing African B2C operator with a market leading position in Mozambique, alongside operations in Angola and Tanzania. Africa's online gambling sector offers an unparalleled long-term growth opportunity, driven by demographic, mobile and regulatory tailwinds that few others can match.
I am confident that the actions we have taken this year, both to reset our cost base and to complete this transformational acquisition, leave GiG structurally stronger, more focused and better positioned to deliver long-term value for our shareholders, our customers and our people."
