EveryMatrix exceeds 2023 expectations with record annual results

EveryMatrix has registered the strongest financial results in its 16-year history setting record growth and profitability including 56% quarterly profit margin for Q4 2023 – its third consecutive quarter above 50%.

Announcing its combined Q4/full year 2023 financial results, the industry’s fastest growing iGaming technology provider set record annual net revenue of €114m across all products, up 75% from 2022 (€65m) and more than four times higher than in 2019 (€28m).

The business recorded significant growth in all business segments in Q4 with record quarterly net revenue of €36m, up 87% Year-on-Year (YoY). ​

Annual EBITDA surged to €60m for the full year, up 155% compared to 2022 and €20m for the quarter, up 194% YoY driven by strong sports trading margins and significant growth across its casino segment.

2023 – YEAR OF TIER-1 DELIVERY

EveryMatrix’s record-breaking 2023 financial performance was driven by continued excellence in technology and service delivery to a rapidly growing roster of 300+ global customers including its two largest turnkey platform launches to date: the Hungarian state lottery, Szerencsejáték Zrt and Bet-at-home in Germany. Both brands went live with the supplier’s turnkey platform and sportsbook solutions at the end of 2023 and are delivering impressive results. ​

The business also amplified its affiliate division with the acquisition of DeepCI, a leading iGaming intelligence platform offering game-changing data tracking across millions of affiliate publisher pages. PartnerMatrix integrated DeepCI in Q4 2023 enabling its customers to source untapped opportunities, enhance their brand’s footprint and maximise efficiencies and earnings.

Every business unit and every one of our employees has contributed to a stellar set of financials proving we really are among, if not, the industry’s fastest growing iGaming technology supplier.

“Our growth acceleration from 2019 to today is staggering, while crucially we continue to deliver huge returns for our customers. Particularly pleasing has been the development of our OddsMatrix technology where the team’s hard work has paid off in both winning and delivering to some of the largest operators in Europe. The last 12 months have propelled OddsMatrix to joining the ranks of the industry’s largest sportsbook providers.

“Our progress shows no signs of slowing with investment in PlayMatrix; an exciting new live casino product, new technologies, innovations, and new tier-1 customers in the pipeline, while we are closing in on our 1,000^th employee at the same time as opening a state-of-the art, purpose-built headquarters in Bucharest. The future is very bright for EveryMatrix in 2024 and beyond.”
