1. The Company believes that the receivable impairment is an isolated and specific event relating to two customers. The Company is currently in discussions
with both customers for recovery. The Company is unable to comment on the expected outcome of these discussions and therefore there is no guarantee
that the full value of these receivables will be recovered.
Directors' Report
BETMAKERS TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD

DIRECTORS' REPORT
← Back to Contents
During the six months to 31 December 2023 the Company was focused on executing on its restructuring plan,
reducing its cost base, and setting a sustainable foundation for future growth through the renewal of contracts
with key partners and signing new customer contracts.
The restructuring plan has simplified the Group’s operations, including streamlining the business model across
three operating segments: Global Betting Services, Global Tote and Corporate. This streamlining of operations
also included a reduction in headcount from 456 at 30 June 2023 to 414 at 31 December 2023.
The Company is now operating with a reduced cost base and is focused on delivering revenue growth.
The investments made in technologies and infrastructure puts BetMakers in a stronger position to deliver
the next phase of revenue and earnings growth through customer acquisition and retention, the continued
reduction in operating costs, and the delivery of long-term projects in H2 FY24 including the new national tote
system for Norsk Rikstoto of Norway and the embedded tote solution for Caesars Entertainment.
The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $13,493,000 (31 December 2022: loss of
$19,945,000).
Excluding depreciation and amortisation, income tax expense and financing costs, the Group's result was a loss
of $7,388,000 (31 December 2022: loss of $20,722,000). This includes $1,366,000 of share-based payments
expense (31 December 2022: $5,291,000) and impairment of receivables expense of $5,092,000 (31 December
2022: $nil). The Group's Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (‘EBITDA’) excluding
share-based payments expense and impairment of receivables expense is a loss of $930,000 (31 December
2022: loss of $15,432,000).
H1 FY24 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
BetMakers is a leading B2B technology company servicing the global racing and online sports betting
industries. The Group is defined through three divisions; Corporate, Global Betting Services and Global Tote.
The Company achieved revenues for the half-year of $51,362,000, an increase of 9.9% compared to the prior
half-year (2022: $46,741,000). This growth was driven by:
• Marginal growth in the Company’s platform and managed trading services offering in the Australian market,
despite a downward shift in market conditions and opportunities in the Australian market; and
• The growth in pari-mutuel wagering customers and pooling integrations.

process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and
has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit or
loss as incurred. Refer to note 9, for the additions of $3,298,000 relating to internally generated intangible asset.
RECOVERABILITY OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
Deferred tax assets are recognised for tax losses and deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers
it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses, and that
the Company continues to meet the Same Business Test and Similar Business Test rules as applicable. With changes
to corporate tax rates in Australia in future financial years, there is judgement regarding the tax rate expected to apply
when assets are recovered.
During the half-year, the Group incurred a net loss after tax of $13,493,000 (2022: net loss of $19,945,000) and net
operating cash inflows of $2,410,000 (2022: outflows of $823,000). The Company has prepared cash flow forecasts as
at 31 December 2023 to determine the recoverability of the Group’s intangibles and deferred tax assets.
The key assumptions underlying these forecasts are as follows:
• Continuation of current revenues with further growth driven through international platform, API and embedded
racebook markets;
• Launch and monetisation of existing customers contracted, but not yet completely ‘live’;
• Expansion of the Global Tote integrations and customer liquidity; and
• Sustained cost control to ensure the delivery of positive operating cash flows.
The Directors are confident of achieving these assumptions. Should the above assumptions not be realised, or there is
a revised less favourable outlook on the timing or quantum of key assumptions, it is expected to result in impairment to
the Group's intangible and deferred tax assets.

NOTE 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
NEW OR AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these
Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any impact on the financial performance or position of the Group
during the financial half-year ended 31 December 2023 and are not expected to have any impact for the full financial
year ending 30 June 2024.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
NOTE 3. OPERATING SEGMENTS
IDENTIFICATION OF REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group operates in three segments; Global Betting Services, Global Tote, and corporate. This is based on the
internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating
Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
During the half-year, the composition of the operating segments was realigned to better reflect how the Group’s CODM
assesses performance and allocates Group resources. As a result, the Global Racing Network was aggregated within
the Global Betting Services segment. There was no change to the Global Tote segment. The new structure aligns
the segment reporting with BetMakers' internal CODM reporting, ASX market releases and management reporting
structure.
The Group has restated the previously reported segment information for the half-year ended 31 December 2023.
There are no intersegment transactions.
The information reported to the CODM is on at least a monthly basis. The financial information presented in these
financial statements are the same as that presented to the CODM. Refer to note 4 for geographical information.
TYPES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The principal products and services of each of these operating segments are as follows:
The Group provides customers with a variety of racing software, data, and analytical
tools. This includes basic race data such as pricing, runners and form, as well as
analytical tools to consume and leverage the data, and wagering tools such as
platforms and managed trading services. It also assists racing bodies and rights
holders in producing and distributing race content. This includes services such as
barrier technology, official price calculation, vision and pricing distribution.
This includes the provision of tote software and integrations to facilitate tote liquidity
and resulting.
