SharpLink Gaming has released its FY2023 results, for the period ending 31 December 2023.
The revenue from continuing operations totalled $4.95m, an increase of 42% when compared to the results from the year prior.
As for the individual vertices, the international segment of the affiliate marketing services increased 22% up to $4.2m.
Meanwhile, the revenue from the US segment of the affiliate marketing services rose 1112%, from $62,250 the year before to $754,446 in 2023.
The gross profit from continuing operations increased 17% to $1.5m.
However, SharpLink Gaming emphasised that the rising costs of marketing caused the gross profit margin to fall to 31% from 38%.
This is particularly regarding search engine optimisation (SEO) and programmatic advertising campaigns used to drive traffic to direct-to-player sites in the US.
The net loss at the company fell by 20%, down to $11.4m in the past year.
Rob Phythian, SharpLink Chairman and CEO said: “With the completion of the sale of our free-to-play sports games development and fantasy sports businesses in January 2024, followed shortly thereafter by the completion of our domestication merger in February 2024, SharpLink is now in a much better financial position and free to concentrate on growth opportunities that will allow us to make progress towards our long-term goal of creating enduring shareholder value.”
Since the beginning of 2024, SharpLink sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and membership interests in a sale to RSPorts Interactive in a $22.5m all-cash equity sale.
The company used the proceeds of this sale to retire about $19.4m in outstanding debt, and at the time of writing, SharpLink Gaming announced it is free of all interest-bearing debt.
That’s not all, either.
At the start of the year, SharpLink Gaming completed a domestic merger and made several appointments to its board of directors.
