Rivalry Delivers Record Quarterly Revenue, Betting Handle, and Continued Market Leadership in Esports Betting

TORONTO, Nov. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rivalry Corp. (the “Company” or “Rivalry”) (TSXV: RVLY) (FSE: 9VK), an internationally regulated sports betting and media company, today announced its financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021. All dollar figures are quoted in Canadian dollars.

“In the third quarter we delivered an all-time record performance, driven by our relentless pursuit to become the leading next generation sports betting brand in the world,” said Steven Salz, Co-Founder and CEO of Rivalry. “Having completed our direct listing on the TSX Venture Exchange shortly after this record quarter, adding additional capital to the balance sheet, and with zero debt, followed by an all-time record performance in October, we believe we are setting up for a strong 2022 as we head into the off-season for esports.”

“We are at the center of an inevitable generational tidal wave that is reshaping consumer products across multiple industries, including sports betting. Through market leading brand equity, innovative product development, multiple new gambling licenses in process, and an unparalleled team, I’m confident Rivalry will continue to demonstrate to shareholders why we can define this new generational paradigm in sports betting,” Mr. Salz added.

Third Quarter Highlights

Betting handle¹ was $23.2 million in the quarter, up 141% from $9.6 million in Q3 2020.
Revenue was $3.7 million in Q3 2021, an increase of $3.2 million or 679% from $0.5 million in Q3 2020.
The Company had $41.3 million of cash and no debt as at September 30, 2021.
Record engagement across the Company's content and social media properties, deepening its brand leadership position in the esports betting sector.
Shareholders elected independent directors Kirstine Stewart, a digital technology and social media executive and former head of the CBC, and Stephen Rigby, the most recent president and CEO of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and former National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada to the Board of Directors at the annual and special meeting of shareholders on September 20, 2021.

Subsequent Events

The Company’s subordinate voting shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on October 5, 2021 and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange approximately two weeks later.
In October, the Company officially launched Rushlane, a proprietary casino game that marks the creation of a new category for online gaming: Massively Multiplayer Online Gambling Games (MMOGG).
On October 28, 2021, the Company announced that it had submitted an application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to become a fully registered operator of internet gaming and sports betting in the province of Ontario.
On November 3, 2021, the Company announced that it had achieved record results in the month of October, including all-time highs for betting handle and monthly active bettors. Betting handle of $12.8 million was the highest monthly figure ever recorded by the Company, exceeding the previous monthly high by more than 40% and the October 2020 figure by more than 350%.

“Given the demographic Rivalry primarily serves, being on average at least a decade younger than sports bettors on traditional sportsbooks, average bet sizes are comparably smaller, and thus the volume of bets we saw to deliver this quarter’s triple digit year over year growth was significant. It’s our belief that we are acquiring new bettors at the beginning of their lifecycle, which we believe will lead to greater lifetime value than a mature sports bettor who is mid-way or toward the end of their lifecycle,” Mr. Salz added.

“We are very excited about the opportunities ahead of us in esports, traditional sports betting, and casino through our originally developed game IP, Rushlane. While results will fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to the timing of major esports events, we anticipate strong growth for the foreseeable future,” said Mr. Salz. “Forthcoming key catalysts will be our expected launch in regulated markets such as Australia, Ontario, and other jurisdictions next year.”

“I’m confident we will continue demonstrating market leadership by having a novel product built for the next generation of sports bettors, wrapped with a modern user experience, an authentic brand, and content that uniquely resonates and is winning over our target demographic globally. Supported by the recent injection of capital, we are aggressively pursuing this generational opportunity and believe that the foundation and relationship of trust we are building with our consumers will allow us to go beyond betting in future as well,” Mr. Salz added.
