Zona de Azar Israel – Codere Online Reports Q2 2024 Financial Results
Israel.- August 01, 2024 www.zonadeazar.com Codere Online (Nasdaq: CDRO / CDROW, the “Company”), a leading online gaming operator in Spain and Latin America, has released its preliminary unaudited[3] financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Attached are the main financial and operating metrics of the period.
Aviv Sher, CEO of Codere Online, commented on the results, “We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter of 2024, with net gaming revenue of €54.4 million, a 39% increase over the prior year period. In the quarter we saw improved customer engagement and customer acquisitions in part due to targeted additional marketing investments made around certain major sports betting events (i.e. Eurocup and Copa America). As a result, performance in our core Mexican and Spanish businesses was strong (notwithstanding all the Spanish victories in the Eurocup), with net gaming revenue growing by 57% in the second quarter in Mexico to over €28 million and 25% in Spain to nearly €22 million.”
Oscar Iglesias, CFO of Codere Online, stated, “We are pleased to have delivered positive Adjusted EBITDA for the second consecutive quarter despite the increased marketing spend around the Eurocup and Copa America. The €1.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter is nearly €6 million better than the prior year period and for the year-to-date period we have generated €3.0 million.”
Mr. Iglesias further added, “Thanks to this solid performance in the first half of the year, we are well on track to meet the profitability and cash generation expectations we set out to achieve in the beginning of the year, while still delivering significant top line growth. As such, we are raising our outlook for the full year 2024 and now expect to generate between €205 – 215 million of net gaming revenue, which represents a growth of 22% year-on-year at the midpoint, and between €2.5 – 7.5 million of positive Adjusted EBITDA.”
