Net revenue was 75% higher year-on-year following growth across all core businesses within EveryMatrix. EBITDA, meanwhile, jumped 155% to €60m for the 12 months to 31 December 2023.
Casino remained the primary source of revenue for EveryMatrix by some distance. However, there was also growth within the sports betting segment, as well as across the platform and affiliate divisions.
EveryMatrix CEO Ebbe Groes openly praised the annual results. He said to improve on what he described as “phenomenal” results in 2022 was a huge achievement for the group.
“2022 was phenomenal but this year’s numbers are mind-blowing,” Groes said. “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.”
