John Clarke CEO of Gfinity #GFIN explains how the funds recently raised will help them achieve more growth within their GDM segment & put them on the pathway to profitability. About Gfinity Gfinity (AIM: GFIN) is a market-leading digital media publisher and technology company in the rapidly growing esports and competitive gaming sector. Created by gamers for the world's three billion gamers, Gfinity has a unique understanding of this fast-growing global community. It uses this expertise both to provide advisory services and to design, develop and deliver unparalleled experiences and winning strategies for game publishers, sports rights holders, commercial partners and media companies. Gfinity connects its partners with the esports community in authentic and innovative ways. This consists of on‑and-off-line competitions and industry‑leading content production. Relationships include Activision Blizzard, EA SPORTS, F1 Esports Series Red Bull, Abu Dhabi Motorsport Management and Coca Cola. Gfinity connects directly with tens of millions of gamers each month through its digital media group, Gfinity Digital Media. Gfinity Digital Media includes websites such as: Gfinityesports, RealSport101, Epicstream, Stock Informer, StealthOptional, RacingGames.gg, MTGRocks.com and their respective social channels. All Gfinity services are underpinned by the Company's proprietary technology platform, delivering a level playing field for all competitors and supporting scalable multi-format leagues, ladders and knockout competitions.
John Clarke CEO of Gfinity #GFIN discusses their trading update and reiterate pathway to profitability in 2023 as adjusted operating loss reduced 52% to £0.4m whilst their core business GDM Increased annualised revenue per user by 270% since it's launch. H1 performance Through the first half of the financial year, the Company has continued to implement its strategic focus on 'what it owns', in particular its fast growing owned audience in the Gfinity Digital Media (GDM) segment of the business. Gfinity expects to report an adjusted operating loss of £0.4m (H1 FY21: £0.9m loss). This represents a 52 per cent. year on year improvement, building on a 71 per cent. improvement in the prior year, as the business continues on its path towards profitability. Revenue for the period is expected to be £3.3m (H1 FY21: £3.0m), representing an improvement of 8% year on year. This figure has been impacted by the decision to consolidate the V10 R League, Gfinity's jointly owned digital motorsport property in conjunction with Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management, into a single season taking place in the latter part of the financial year. If revenues relating to this were eliminated from the comparative period, the year on year revenue increase would be 24%. Gfinity Digital Media: GDM revenues in H1 were £1.6m (H1 FY21: £1.0m), a 62 per cent. improvement year on year. This is a result of: · Increased annualised revenue per user of 23.3p, which represents 31 per cent. YoY improvement and a 270 per cent. improvement on the rate at the launch of the GDM in May 2020; and · A rise in Average Monthly Active Users to 13.9m, which represents a 23 per cent. YoY increase. These figures benefit from the successful integration of the Stock Informer business into the broader GDM network. Stock Informer delivered revenue of £0.4m in the period between acquisition completion on 13 September 2021 and 31 December 2021. GDM revenue delivered a gross profit of £1.0m, a 43% year on year improvement (H1 FY21: £0.7m). During the period, there was also significant work undertaken to continue to optimise site infrastructure and performance, utilising the Company's proprietary Manifold content management system (CMS). As a result, contrary to trends seen in previous year, Gfinity has been able to sustain its strong user numbers into the second half of its financial year. Monthly active users across GDM platforms exceeded 15m in January 2022 (January 2021: 11.3m) and rose again to over 16m in February (February 2021: 9.9m). This was a record month for GDM, despite it being the shortest month of the year in a traditionally quiet period. Including related social channels, this means Gfinity is now connecting with over 100m gamers each month. Technology and Esports Solutions: Revenues from licensing of Gfinity's proprietary esports technology and delivery of esports solutions for clients remained flat year on year at £1.6m. Within this segment, Gfinity continued to be the delivery partner for the F1 Esports Series, which broke viewership and engagement records in 2021, achieving over 23 million views across digital platforms, a 103 per cent. year on year increase. The key strategic focus in this division has been the productisation of Gfinity's technology platform, so that it can be integrated directly into publisher's games and media owners' websites and licensed under a SaaS model. This is achieved without the need for extensive integration each time it is deployed. During the period, the platform was utilised in this way to deliver in-app the competitive programme for three of the largest mobile game titles, which featured more than 50,000 participants around the world. This represented an important proof of concept for the platform, which was also deployed for the fourth year to run the qualification for the ePremier League programme. The beta version of this updated product will be launched in the second quarter of 2022. The Company expects this to create a significant new revenue stream in the future. Co-Owned Esports Properties: As set out above, following the decision to consolidate the V10 R League programme into a single season, in the second half of the year, there was no revenue from this segment in H1 (H1 FY21: £0.4m). Consolidation of the two seasons into one will allow for the creation of a live finals event taking place in Abu Dhabi, which is seen as an important step to unlocking sponsorship revenue from the region. Operating Expenditure: The growth in the period has been achieved with a reduction in operating expenditure of £0.2m to £2.2m (H1 FY21: £2.4m). Full year outlook Notwithstanding the strong progress made during H1 in the areas of greatest strategic value, the Directors now expect full year revenue to be below market expectations. This is influenced by a number of factors including: - A slower than anticipated return to live esports events, which while not the long-term strategic focus of the business, still has an impact on short term revenue and profits - Ongoing discussions around a material partnership in the betting sector, which the Directors still expect to complete, but which is now unlikely to deliver the impact on FY22 revenues that originally been anticipated The Directors do not believe the long-term prospects or future pathway to profitability in 2023 and beyond have changed.
John Clarke CEO of Gfinity #GFIN explains how the strategy is delivering, positioning the company for scalable growth, which saw revenue growth, in their final results, by 27% to £5.7m and a 768% increase in revenue attached to Gfinityowned and co-owned properties. Financial highlights · 27% increase in revenue to £5.7m (2020: £4.5m), driven by 768% increase in revenue attached to Gfinity owned and co-owned properties. · Significant reduction in adjusted operating loss by 50% to £2.7m (2020: £5.5m loss). · 61% reduction in adjusted EBITDA loss, including the impact of gains and losses on Associates, to £2.3m (2020: £5.8m loss). · Adjusted administrative expenses of £5.4m (2020: £8.3m), representing 35% year on year reduction, reflecting full year impact of business restructuring in March 2020. · Cash and cash equivalents at year end of £1.4m (2020: £1.6m), supplemented by post year-end over-subscribed fundraise to raise £3.3m before costs for targeted acquisition. Operational highlights · Significant growth of owned and recurring revenue streams providing a strong foundation for scalable growth in future years, with GDM platform selected by leading brands to target specific gaming audiences and deliver global esports programmes. · Commercial agreements signed with leading brands and publishers including Activision, Manchester United, Cadburys, Formula 1, Premier League and Red Bull. · Bolstered strategic partnerships to drive engagement across owned websites, including the launch of new digital motorsport competition with Abu Dhabi Motorsport Management (ADMM) and expanded relationship with global advertising technology platform Venatus. · Added significant senior talent bringing experience with publishers and in growing digital businesses to support with delivering on strategic priorities, including two additional Non-Executive Directors. Growth and expansion of Gfinity Digital Media Group (GDM) · Strong growth of publishing platform, GDM, with revenues of £1.6 million. · Acquisition of leading online fantasy and sci-fi news community, Epicstream. · Partnerships launched with sites that add value to the user experience, such as MapGenie. · Launch of dedicated mobile gaming website Only Mobile Gaming! (OMG!) and new virtual racing website Racinggames.gg. Post-period highlights · Acquisition of Megit Limited, owner and operator of the website Stock Informer, an ecommerce referral site for gamers and their lifestyles, funded via successful fundraise. · Acquisition of SiegeGG, including technology behind leading statistical analysis of Rainbow Six Siege video game. · Selected by Nintendo and Coca Cola Hellenic Bottling Company as operational partner for respective gaming and esports tournaments. · Continued expansion of senior leadership team with appointment of new Head of Brands and Digital Relations.

This week Trev, Dan and Ben get together to chat about some of the highlights from gaming and esports in UK and Ireland. And there was a lot to go through! Belfast Storm have started life in the NLC, the Northern League of Legends Championship, and it's one that Ben has been keeping a close eye on. F1 Esports launches the new season in October, with four rounds being held at Gfinity in London. The drivers battle on 12 tracks to determine who will win this year's driver and team championships. Can Red Bull make it three-in-a-row. Trev is a busy man within the esports world and was part of the recently announced J1 Esports team formed at Norwich City. Get the inside track on the reasons behind that launch from the man himself. EA has been reportedly looking into dropping the FIFA name from their title - will it actually happen? and how will Goals.co and Striker coming in to make it 4 major football titles change the landscape? And on the FIFA front, we discussed Hashtag United receiving a record fee for the transfer of their FIFA player, Tom Leese, to ExCel Esports. Is it going to start a trend or is it a one off? To finish off we carried on the football theme by discussing Finn Harps new partnership deal with David Beckham-backed Guild Esports. It's a move that could be smart and benefit both parties.
