Second Quarter 2021 Financial and Operating Highlights

  • Gross profit of $8.0 million vs Q2 2020 gross profit of $3.2 million

  • Direct advertising sales of $4.4 million compared to direct advertising sales of $0.6 million in Q2 2020

  • The Company’s common shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq

  • Raised gross proceeds of $60.1 million (USD$49.5 million) in a public offering

  • Completed acquisitions of popular web properties Tabstats and Icy Veins

  • Paid subscribers of approximately 155,000 as at June 30, 2021, as compared to approximately 111,000 subscribers as at June 30, 2020

“After listing on the Nasdaq, completing two major acquisitions and raising $60.1 million (USD$49.5 million) to further accelerate our accretive M&A strategy, this has been an exemplary quarter for Enthusiast Gaming,” commented Adrian Montgomery, CEO of Enthusiast Gaming. “We expect to see sequential revenue growth and margin improvements throughout the remainder of the year, driven by momentum in direct sales and our pipeline of acquisitions. While we continue to grow our subscription business from current and newly acquired properties, the game-changer for this vertical is expected to come from Project GG and its premium subscription offering, which will launch as an exclusive alpha to select gamers in late September. Our team’s ability to continue acquiring accretive properties, attract quality partners, and deliver fresh content to our fan communities continues to exceed expectations.”
