The Board of BetMakers Technology Group Ltd (ASX:BET) (“BetMakers” or the “Company”) is pleased to release its
Quarterly Cash Flow Statement and Quarterly Activities Report for Q4 FY23, being the quarter ending 30 June 2023.
The quarter marked one of progress for the Company as it continued to focus on reducing and normalising the cost
base and simplifying the operating model. The focus of the last two quarters is evidenced in the declining operational
cash outflows, and the Company will continue to execute on its strategic restructure during Q1 FY24.
Q4 FY23 HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
Executed term sheet for the distribution of race meetings
As announced on 3 April 2023, the Company executed a non-binding term sheet with the Stronach Group’s 1/ST
Content business (“1/ST Content”) for the distribution of BetMakers’ Global Racing network’s (“GRN”) race meetings
into international wagering markets, including the UK and Ireland. The deal is subject to completion of long form
agreements.
The deal intends for BetMakers’ GRN feature racing content, from racecourses at Kentucky Downs, Charles Town,
Mahoning Valle, Penn National, Sam Houston, Zia Park and Monmouth Park, to be available for 1/ST Content’s
broadcast schedule. This includes through Sky Sports racing in the UK and Ireland, as well as across other
international media partners’ websites.
This distribution relationship commenced on 1 May 2023.
Executed strategic operational restructure and accelerated path to profitability
As announced on 31 May 2023, the Company provided shareholders with an update on its cost base reduction and
global efficiencies program which is expected to result in significant operating overhead reductions and savings across
the business moving forward.
During Q4 FY23 the Company made significant progress with regards to its reduction in cost. This is evidenced
by:
the 39% reduction in net cash outflows from operations compared to Q3 FY23; and
the reduction in headcount from 568 employees as at 31 December 2022, to approximately 485
employees currently.
The global efficiencies program is still underway with further reductions in cost expected to be realised in Q1
FY24.
Form Cruncher performance period complete
As announced on 23 June 2021, the Company acquired the intellectual property of racing data company Form
Cruncher Pty Ltd (“Form Cruncher”).
Form Cruncher processes racing event data such as odds, price fluctuations, sectional times and results to create
advanced form information and dynamic content that can be adapted and customised globally.
As part of the consideration, Form Cruncher was entitled to a performance payment subject to the satisfaction of
certain performance milestones over the financial year ending 30 June 2023. Following the completion of the
financial year ending 30 June 2023, it has been determined that Form Cruncher is entitled to a performance
payment of $500,000 to be paid as:
$250,000 to be paid in cash; and
$250,000 in shares, subject to a floor price of $0.90 per share.
Based on the above and the current share price, it is expected that the Company will issue 277,778 ordinary shares
to Form Cruncher in due course.

this presentation, the Company intends to hold a comprehensive investor webinar following the release of the 30
