BlueBet Holdings commenced its fiscal year 2022 on a high note, surpassing projections for the initial six months ending December 31, 2021.
This Australian wagering company generated an impressive AU$265 million (approximately US$191 million) in revenue during the first half. This represents a substantial surge of 21%, or AU$46 million, beyond anticipated figures. Furthermore, it signifies a remarkable 61% increase compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
Despite achieving profitability in the preceding year, BlueBet declared a net deficit of AU$8 million this time. However, this should not be misinterpreted as a negative sign. This deficit actually reflects a considerable enhancement from the same period last year, decreasing by AU$3.5 million, a substantial 123% reduction. They even managed to outperform their own forecasts, slightly exceeding the projected AU$9 million loss.
Their earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) mirrored the trajectory of their net profit, exhibiting a loss of AU$300,000. Once again, this represents a significant improvement, down by AU$4.9 million compared to the corresponding period last year, a massive 106% decline. They also surpassed their initial projections in this area, which had anticipated an AU$800,000 loss.
BlueBet consistently exceeded anticipations across all metrics. The most notable enhancement was observed in their net cash flow from operating activities, which surged to a positive variance of 413% above predictions.
“We embarked on FY22 with robust momentum, and our Australian operations have surpassed all first-half projections as our impactful marketing approach continues to propel market share acquisitions,” stated BlueBet Chief Executive Officer Bill Richmond.
Generating ripples across the United States! They’ve successfully entered the Canadian market, established their American headquarters in Denver, and are targeting expansion into additional states. Their distinctive funding strategy provides a significant advantage – they possess the capital to propel their rapid expansion in both Australia and the US.”
BlueBet has experienced a period of remarkable success. In the past half-year, they’ve witnessed their engaged user base increase twofold to 45,000, accompanied by a surge in wagers placed, soaring from $21 million to $36 million. Furthermore, they’ve been highly active in their home country, introducing three innovative digital platforms for their Australian clientele.
