- Last quarter, Huuuge's adjusted EBITDA exceeded USD 27 million (+10% YoY), and the adjusted net result reached USD 21 million (+14.4% YoY), with revenues of USD 71.2 million (˗8.2% YoY).
Cumulatively after 9 months, revenues exceeded USD 212 million and adjusted EBITDA reached USD 82.1 million (+56.2% YoY), which was the level generated throughout 2022. Adjusted net profit amounted to USD 66.6 million (+80.32% YoY), exceeding the level generated in the whole of 2022 by USD 2.4 million. This is a record level of EBITDA and net profit achieved by Huuuge after three quarters.
Over the last four quarters (Q3 2022 – Q3 2023), the company achieved a total adjusted EBITDA result of USD 112 million, and USD 86.5 million in net operating cash flows.
With increased marketing budget, combined with the new game economy and loyalty program, Huuuge reversed the declining quarterly revenue trend for Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino games, recording a 4.2% increase over Q2 2023, despite the social casino market decline during that period. Key operational metrics for the games also improved versus the previous quarter.
Reversal of the declining trend in Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino quarterly revenues
Global revenues of Social Casino companies, as reported by Eilers & Krejcik, showed a slight decrease (by 2.2%) in the third quarter of 2023 compared to Q2 2023. In the same period, Huuuge achieved a 4.2% increase in revenues for its two flagship titles: Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino. This was possible thanks to the company's announced game economy update implemented in August 2023, and the expanding loyalty program. The developing direct-to-consumer channel accounted for about 7% of revenues during the period.
Another quarter of year-over-year EBITDA improvement
In Q3 2023, Huuuge achieved its fifth consecutive quarter of improved EBITDA, compared to the same period of the previous year. By sticking to cost discipline, the company managed to balance increased marketing expenses without affecting quarterly performance. Cash generation remains the company’s top operational priority in the ever-changing market environment. Net cash flows from operating activities for the first 9 months of 2023 reached USD 57.6 million up from USD 42.1 million in the same period in 2022. The company's balance sheet at the end of Q3 2023 showed USD 127.7 million in cash and equivalents.
