A Word from Remco Westermann, CEO

"MGI continued its strong growth trajectory in the second quarter of 2022. Revenues increased 37% year-over-year and adj. EBITDA increased by 38% year-over-year. Overall, the Company's organic growth amounted to 18% year-over-year. While the challenging global macroeconomic conditions led to some softness in revenue growth due to lower total industry ad spend, MGI's business model with its integrated Ad Tech software platform and first-party games content has enabled us to generate solid financial performance in Q2 2022. We are in a market environment characterized by recession fears, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates and ongoing supply chain disruptions, which have already impacted corporate advertising spend as a result. In this environment, our key focus will now be on organic revenue growth, further increasing our profitability while also engaging in cost saving measures. We also plan for the realization of cost synergies concurrent with a deleveraging strategy. Even though our outside environment has changed, we herewith confirm our forecast for the full-year 2022 and expect revenues of EUR 295-315 million with adj. EBITDA of EUR 83-93 million.," commented Remco Westermann, CEO & Chairman of MGI Group.
