First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:

• Revenue Growth: Total quarterly revenue of €25.7 million (US$ 29.7 million)¹ in the first quarter:

  • Brazil revenue increased 33.3% compared to the 2025 first quarter with continued growth in provider onboarding; and
  • United States recurring revenue grew 7.1% year-over-year, driven by expanded high-margin proprietary content footprint, while total U.S. revenue declined 12.1% due to one off revenue in the 2025 first quarter related to the Company’s content and technology project with Caesars Entertainment for its online casino platforms; and
  • Total revenue grew 0.6% year-over-year.
• Operating Loss, Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA²: Operating loss for the first quarter was €1.4 million (US$1.7 million), a €0.3 million (US$0.1 million) improvement from an operating loss of €1.7 million (US$1.8 million) in the same period of 2025.

First Quarter 2026 and Recent Business Highlights:

• Extended Key Player Account Management (“PAM”) Agreement in Europe: Announced the extension of its existing comprehensive Player Account Management (“PAM”) platform and turnkey solution agreement with Senator Group, an online casino market leader in Croatia.
• Chosen as Preferred Content Delivery Partner Across a Multi-Brand, Multi-Jurisdictional Portfolio: Building on an existing relationship between the parties that began in 2020 and has already seen successful launches in Romania, Belgium, Serbia and Brazil, Super Technologies selected bragg as its preferred content delivery partner to support its ambitious strategic expansion plan by providing fast access to quality content, while also delivering on the necessary technical and compliance readiness for demanding regulated territories. Soon thereafter, bragg announced its role in supporting Super Technologies’ successful launch in the regulated Greek market through its flagship brand, Superbet, marking a significant milestone in bragg’s ongoing global expansion strategy.
• Positioned for Finnish Market Liberalization: Signed a comprehensive PAM platform and turnkey solution agreement with SuomiVeto, a market entrant led by the successful founders of BetCity.nl, that will see bragg provide SuomiVeto access to a vast portfolio of exclusive and aggregated casino games, a fully managed sportsbook, award-winning fuze™ Player Engagement tools, and comprehensive managed marketing and operational services in the newly regulated Finnish iGaming market, which is scheduled to “go live” for private operators on July 1, 2027.
• Leapt into an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-First Future: Initiated the development of the bragg AI Brain, a data-driven AI engine designed to power smarter decisions and intelligent products across bragg’s ecosystem in order to reduce the Company’s overall cost structure, drive its EBITDA growth, and move it toward sustained net profitability.
• Strengthened Leadership Team and Changed Board: Appointed Morten Tonnesen as its new Chief Operating Officer, with a mandate that includes driving operational leverage and implementing bragg’s ambitious AI-First transformation, and promoted Garrick Morris to the position of Executive Vice President of Global Content, U.S. & Canada, with a focus on content expansion. In addition, Thomas Winter, a gaming industry luminary, was appointed to bragg’s Board of Directors, succeeding Kent Young, who retired from the Board.
• Executed a Strategic Restructuring to Reduce Cost Structure and Improve Operating Performance: Completed a strategic restructuring, including an approximate 12% reduction of global workforce, designed to realign the organization and thereby improve its overall cost structure, drive its EBITDA growth, and shorten the time required for it to achieve sustained net profitability. The Company incurred restructuring costs related to this action of approximately €0.7 million (US$0.9 million) associated with personnel-related termination costs in the first quarter of 2026, and it anticipates annualized cash savings from its staff reductions and other restructuring efforts to be approximately €4.5 million (US$5.2 million).
• Ensured Greater Board Alignment with Shareholders: From January 1, 2026, fees are being paid to directors exclusively in deferred share units (DSUs) on a monthly basis (with no cash alternative).
• Entered into Agreement for a Transformational Acquisition: Earlier today, announced entering into a binding agreement to acquire Drayton International (“Drayton”), a diversified gaming technology and content platform. In conjunction with the closing of the transaction, renowned gaming entrepreneur, Matthew Davey, will join the Company’s Board as Non-Executive Chairman, further strengthening the Company’s leadership as it executes its next phase of growth.

Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for bragg, commented, “We continued to execute well across our business in the first quarter. But in many ways, I believe we are only just approaching the starting line as we work to complete our potentially transformative transaction with Drayton, which we believe will position bragg to lead the future of the global gaming industry with the right team, the best technology, a refreshed brand, and a clear ‘games-first’ focus.”

All of the Company’s forward-looking statements are qualified by the assumptions that are stated or inherent in such forward-looking statements, including the assumptions listed below. Although the Company believes that these assumptions are reasonable, this list is not exhaustive of factors that may affect any of the forward-looking statements. The key assumptions that have been made in connection with the forward-looking statements include the regulatory regime governing the business of the Company; the operations of the Company; the products and services of the Company; the Company’s customers; the growth of the Company’s business, meeting minimum listing requirements of the stock exchanges on which the Company’s shares trade; the integration of technology; and the anticipated size and/or revenue associated with the gaming market globally.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

To supplement its Interim Financial Statements presented in accordance with IFRS, the Company considers certain financial measures and metrics that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company uses such non-IFRS financial measures and metrics in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that such measures and metrics help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that it excludes in such measures.

The Company also believes that such measures provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. However, these measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of such non-IFRS measures as opposed to their nearest IFRS equivalents. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses the non-IFRS financial measures and metrics “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, each as defined below in this news release. The most directly comparable financial measure to each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is Net Loss. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. The Company’s management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

The Company defined such non-IFRS measures as follows:

“EBITDA” means as net income (loss) plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; provided that all revenue, costs and expenses shall be recorded on an accrual basis. The Company’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from the method used by other issuers and, accordingly, the Company’s EBITDA calculation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other issuers.

“Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA after: (i) adding back share based compensation; (ii) deducting lease payments recorded as a depreciation of right-of-use assets and lease interest expense; (iii) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on lease modification; (iv) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on re-measurement of deferred consideration; (v) adding back certain exceptional costs; (vi) adding back transaction and acquisition costs; and (vii) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on disposal of tangible assets. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

A reconciliation of operating loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows in this news release as well as in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Future Oriented Financial Information

This news release and, in particular the information in respect of bragg’s prospective revenues and Adjusted EBITDA may contain future oriented financial information (“FOFI”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook on bragg’s proposed activities and potential results and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The FOFI has been prepared based on a number of assumptions, including assumptions with respect to customer growth and market expansion. bragg and its management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management’s best estimates and judgments; however, the actual results of operations of bragg and the resulting financial results may vary from the amounts set forth herein and such variations may be material. FOFI contained in this news release was made as of the date of this news release and bragg disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this news release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law.
