Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Gambling.com Group reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $40.4 million, essentially flat year over year, but swung to a net loss of $1.2 million from net income of $11.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $9.0 million, a 22% margin, from $15.9 million and a 39% margin, as cost of sales and operating expenses rose with traffic diversification and higher AI-related and marketing spend.
The company announced an AI-driven restructuring that is expected to reduce the workforce by 25% and deliver annualized savings of $13 million, with about half of those savings anticipated in the second half of 2026. Cash flow from operations dropped to $0.9 million, and cash ended at $8.4 million versus borrowings of $121.3 million on the Wells Fargo facility.
For full-year 2026, Gambling.com Group now guides to revenue of $165–$170 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $45–$50 million. Management expects data services, particularly enterprise sports data, to drive growth, while marketing faces ongoing search and regulatory headwinds, with margin expansion targeted in the second half as cost savings phase in.

- Reduced full-year outlook: 2026 guidance was reset to revenue of $165–$170 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $45–$50 million, reflecting ongoing search and regulatory headwinds in key European markets.
- Workforce reduction: A proposed AI-driven restructure is expected to cut the workforce by 25%, signaling meaningful cost cutting to address margin pressure.
Insights
Profitability deteriorated sharply, and guidance was reduced despite restructuring plans.
Gambling.com Group kept Q1 2026 revenue stable at $40.4 million, but net results weakened materially, moving to a $1.2 million loss from $11.2 million profit. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $9.0 million with margin compressing to 22% as traffic diversification and AI-driven costs lifted expenses.
Operational cash generation slowed, with cash flow from operations at $0.9 million and cash of $8.4 million against borrowings of $121.3 million. The company cut its 2026 outlook to revenue of $165–$170 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $45–$50 million, citing persistent search and regulatory headwinds in the UK and Europe.
The proposed AI-led restructuring, including a 25% workforce reduction and planned $13 million in annualized savings, is intended to restore margins in the second half of 2026. Actual outcomes will depend on executing the cost program while sustaining revenue growth, particularly in higher-margin data services.

6 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of 9,001 reflects an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22% as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of 15,864 and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 39%"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS liquidity financial measure defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for cash flows related to acquisitions less capital expenditures"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
non-IFRS financial measures financial
"This press release contains certain non-IFRS financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow"
Non-IFRS financial measures are company-reported numbers that modify or exclude items from standard accounting results so management can highlight what it sees as underlying business performance—common examples are adjusted EBITDA or adjusted earnings per share. They matter to investors because they can make trends clearer by removing unusual or noncash items, like cleaning lens smudges off a camera, but they require scrutiny since companies decide what to exclude and comparisons across firms may not be uniform.
performance marketing financial
"Performance marketing revenue consists of Cost Per Acquisition revenue, revenue share arrangements, hybrid revenue, and ticketing revenue from fees and commissions"
Performance marketing is an advertising approach where companies pay only when a measurable action happens—such as a sale, a lead, or a sign-up—similar to hiring a salesperson paid on commission rather than by the hour. Investors watch it because it makes customer acquisition costs and returns easier to track and optimize, affecting revenue growth, profit margins and how efficiently a business can scale; changes in ad platforms or privacy rules can quickly alter its effectiveness.
data subscription financial
"Data revenue consists of consumer and enterprise subscription revenue from data, data analytics and data syndication services"
constant currency financial
"The following table details the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 in the Company's reporting currency and constant currency"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.

Gambling.com Group Reports First Quarter Results
Adjusts 2026 Guidance
Initiates AI Transformation-led Restructure Expected to Reduce Work Force by 25% and Deliver $13 Million of Annualized Savings
Company Positioned for Revenue Growth and Margin Expansion in Second Half of 2026
CHARLOTTE – May 14, 2026 – Gambling.com Group Limited (Nasdaq: GAMB) (“Gambling.com Group” or the “Company”), a fast-growing technology company providing marketing and sports data services for the gambling industry, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The Company today also adjusted its full year guidance and highlighted a proposed strategic restructure expected to reduce its workforce by 25% and deliver annualized savings of $13 million.
Kevin McCrystle, Incoming Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Gambling.com Group, commented, "First quarter revenue of $40.4 million was in line with our expectations as well as the prior-year period, and reflects a 13% year-over-year increase in sports data services revenue offset by a 5% decline in marketing revenue. The growth in sports data services revenue was driven by strong enterprise sales led by OpticOdds with active partners up 24% quarter-on-quarter. While our marketing operations continue to be impacted by previously disclosed poor organic search dynamics and more recent regulatory headwinds, we continue to deliver on our strategy to diversify traffic sources.
“We continue to integrate AI into our workflows and are moving quickly to adopt AI as the foundational layer of how the entire organization operates. This shift to AI-first working principles enables a proposed restructure of teams that is expected to drive substantial annualized cost savings. We are confident this transformation positions us to adapt faster to changing market needs by delivering more product and marketing innovation at a faster velocity with smaller, more flexible teams. These initiatives, and the continued transition in our business to benefit from a higher mix of high-margin sports data services contributions and our more diversified marketing business, will help ensure we can build on our foundation to return to delivering consistent high margin growth going forward.”
Elias Mark, Chief Financial Officer of Gambling.com Group, added, “The strategic shift in how we operate internally to have AI be the foundation of our team structures and processes across the organization, allows us to initiate a proposed restructure of teams expected to deliver annualized cost savings of $13 million. We expect to realize about half of the $13 million in annualized savings in the second half of 2026 which will help drive margin expansion in this period and beyond. As our business continues to evolve, we remain well-positioned to continue delivering substantial free cash flow that allows us to both to de-lever and further invest in new products.”

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Results Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Revenue of $40.4 million was in line with the prior-year period. Revenue from sports data services grew 13% year-over-year to $11.2 million, primarily driven by growth in enterprise revenue. Revenue from marketing services decreased 5% year-over-year to $29.2 million, primarily due to the previously disclosed impacts of poor organic search dynamics and regulatory headwinds in the UK and Finland, partly offset by growth from sources not dependent on organic search referrals. The Company delivered 140,000 new depositing customers in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 138,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Gross profit decreased 11% year-over-year to $34.4 million. Cost of sales increased 171% year-over-year to $6.1 million primarily reflecting costs associated with the Company’s ongoing strategy to diversify traffic sources in the marketing business.
Total operating expenses exclusive of non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets of $2.6 million, employees' bonuses related to the OddsJam acquisition of $0.3 million and other non-recurring costs of $0.1 million, grew 12% to $28.2 million, primarily due to higher subscription cost from increased AI usage and higher external marketing expenses as a result of traffic diversification strategies. Inclusive of the above-mentioned expenses, total operating expenses were $31.1 million compared to $28.4 million in the year-ago period.
Net loss attributable to shareholders of $1.2 million, or 0.03 per share, compares to net income attributable to shareholders of $11.2 million, or $0.31 per share, in the year-ago period. Adjusted net income decreased to $3.8 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $16.5 million, or $0.46 per share, in the year-ago-period primarily driven by lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher interest and tax expenses in the current period and $3.9 million in finance income related to foreign exchange movements in the year-ago period.
Adjusted EBITDA of $9.0 million reflects an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22% as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $15.9 million and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 39% in the prior-year period. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter of 2026 reflects the impact of higher cost of sales and operating expenses related to traffic diversification strategies in the marketing business.
Cash flow from operations was $0.9 million compared to $8.1 million in the year-ago period and included deferred consideration payments of $2.2 million, transaction bonus payments of $2.4 million, and tax payments of $1.6 million. Adjusted free cash flow was $3.9 million compared to $10.3 million in the year-ago period, driven by lower operating cash flows resulting primarily from a decline in operating profit, and higher capitalization of development costs.
2
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total cash of $8.4 million and had borrowings of $121.3 million under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The Company repaid $2.8 million on its outstanding term loan during the first quarter.
The Company did not repurchase any shares in the first quarter and continues to have $14.4 million remaining on the current share buyback authorization.
2026 Outlook
Gambling.com Group today adjusted its full year guidance and now expects 2026 full-year revenue of $165 million to $170 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $45 million to $50 million. The guidance assumes:
•Year-over-year revenue growth driven by data services with enterprise sports data services continuing to see the fastest growth.
•Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA will be negatively impacted by continued poor search dynamics and regulatory headwinds in the UK, where a higher-than-expected increase in gaming duty is impacting player values and volume, as well as in Europe, where new regulations in Finland is curtailing performance marketing.
•Continued investments to diversify the marketing business, investments in sports data services new product enhancements and investments for the development and rollout of a new product the Company plans to launch later this year for which only marginal revenue contributions are expected this year.
•Significant margin expansion in the second half of the year from cost savings and revenue growth.
•An average Euro to USD exchange rate of 1.17 for the year.

Disaggregated Revenue
Revenue is disaggregated based on how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Marketing
Performance marketing. Performance marketing revenue consists of (i) Cost Per Acquisition (“CPA”) revenue from arrangements where we are paid exclusively by a single cash payment for each referred player, (ii) revenue share arrangements where we are paid exclusively by a share of the customer’s net gambling revenue ("NGR") from the referred players, (iii) hybrid revenue from arrangements where we are paid by both a CPA commission and a revenue share commission from the referred players and (iv) ticketing revenue from fees and commissions from ticket reservation for recreational and leisure events.
Within performance marketing arrangements, the Group considers each referred player and each ticket reservation to represent a separate performance obligation.
The performance obligation of referral arrangements is satisfied at the point in time when the referral is accepted by the relevant online gambling operator. Revenue share fees for each referred player are considered variable consideration and are only recognized to the extent it is probable that no significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for the referral will occur when the ultimate fees are known.
CPA fees for each referred player are recognized when earned upon acceptance of the referral by the online gambling operator.
Fees generated by each customer during a particular month are typically paid to us within 30-45 days after the invoice date.
The Group acts as an agent in ticketing arrangements as it does not control the underlying event. The revenue is recognized on a net basis, calculated as the proceeds collected from a customer less the cost of the ticket sold. Ticketing revenue is recognized at a point in time when the sale is made as the Group’s performance obligation is to facilitate and process the transaction and issue the ticket.
Advertising and other. Advertising and other revenue includes revenue from arrangements not based on the referred players and includes advertising on our platform and onboarding fees. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.
8
Data
Subscription. Data revenue consists of consumer and enterprise subscription revenue from data, data analytics and data syndication services. For subscription revenue, the Group considers each subscription to be a separate performance obligation. The Group satisfies its performance obligation, and revenue from these services is recognized, on a straight-line basis over the subscription period. The Group records deferred revenue upon execution of subscriptions when the subscription plan requires upfront payment.

Supplemental Information
Rounding
We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Management uses both IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business and for making operational decisions.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share
Adjusted net income is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net income attributable to shareholders adjusted to exclude the effect of non-recurring items, significant non-cash items, unwinding of deferred consideration, employees’ bonuses related to acquisition, deferred revenue fair value adjustment, share-based payment and related expense, acquisition related costs, amortization expenses related to acquired businesses and assets and other items that our board of directors believes do not reflect the underlying performance of the business, including acquisition related expenses, such as acquisition related costs and bonuses.
Adjusted net income per diluted share is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders divided by the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.
We believe Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share are useful to our management as a measure of comparative performance from period to period as these measures remove the unwinding of deferred consideration, employees’ bonuses related to acquisition, deferred revenue fair value adjustment, share-based payment and related expense, acquisition related costs, amortization expenses related to acquired businesses and assets, and all other items associated with our acquisitions, during the limited period where these items are incurred. The unwinding of deferred consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is associated with the unwinding of the discount applied to the valuation of the deferred consideration for the OddsJam Acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The unwinding of deferred consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is associated with the unwinding of the discount applied to the valuation of the deferred consideration for the acquisition of the Freebets.com Assets.
While we use Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share as tools to enhance our understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share are substitutes for, or superior to, the information provided by IFRS results. As such, the presentation of Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. The primary limitations associated with the use of Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share as compared to IFRS results are that Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share as we define them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry and that Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share may exclude financial information that some investors may consider important in evaluating our performance.
The following tables reconcile Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted from net income for the period attributable to the shareholders and net income per share attributed to shareholders, diluted as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income and for the periods specified (unaudited):

The effect of share options, contingently issuable ordinary shares related to business combinations and unvested ordinary shares were excluded from the calculation of net loss attributable to shareholders per diluted share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for each period.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as earnings excluding interest, income tax (charge) credit, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the effect of non-recurring items, significant non-cash items, share-based payment expense, foreign exchange gains (losses), and other items that our board of directors believes do not reflect the underlying performance of the business, including acquisition related expenses, such as acquisition related costs and bonuses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-IFRS measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to our management team as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as those measures remove the effect of items not directly resulting from our core operations including effects that are generated by differences in capital structure, depreciation, tax effects and non-recurring events.
While we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as tools to enhance our understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are substitutes for, or superior to, the information provided by IFRS results. As such, the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. The primary limitations associated with the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as compared to IFRS results are that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as we define them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry and that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may exclude financial information that some investors may consider important in evaluating our performance.

In regard to forward looking non-IFRS guidance, we are not able to reconcile the forward-looking non-IFRS Adjusted EBITDA measure to the closest corresponding IFRS measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items including, share-based payments for future awards, acquisition-related expenses and certain financing and tax items.
Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS liquidity financial measure defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for cash flows related to acquisitions less capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for Free Cash Flow are
13
defined as the acquisition of property and equipment, and capitalized research and development costs, and excludes cash flows related to acquisitions accounted for as business combinations and asset acquisitions.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS liquidity financial measure defined as Free Cash Flow adjusted to exclude the effect of certain non-recurring payments.
We believe Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are useful to our management team as measures of financial performance as they measure our ability to generate additional cash from our operations. While we use Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as tools to enhance our understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are substitutes for, or superior to, the information provided by IFRS metrics. As such, the presentation of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not intended to be considered in isolation or as substitutes for any measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The primary limitation associated with the use of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as compared to IFRS metrics is that Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow do not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures because these measures do not deduct the payments required for debt payments and other obligations or payments made for acquisitions. Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as we define them also may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in the online gambling affiliate industry.

(1) As of March 31, 2025, the Company incorrectly presented the tax payments as an investing cash flow as opposed to an operating cash flow. The effect of this error was an overstatement of operating cash flows of $3.3 million and an understatement of investing cash flows of $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As a result, free cash flow decreased by $3.3 million for the period ended 31 March 2025.
(2) Non- recurring transaction bonus paid in relation to the OddsJam acquisition. See our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for further information.
(3) The comparative amount for Tax and other (receipts) payments in relation to acquisition has been restated from nil to $3.3 million to conform to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. This restatement reflects one-time tax payments related to income and payroll effects of pre-acquisition distributions to the Sellers of OddsJam which were acquired as part of the business combination. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, $0.2 million of this amount was refunded in relation to overpaid corporate income tax of OddsJam for 2024.
