Gambling.com Group Ltd. (GAMB), a prominent provider of digital marketing services in the online gambling sector, announced on Thursday that it has finalized an agreement to acquire Odds Holdings, Inc., the parent entity of OddsJam, known for its arbitrage betting software, with an initial acquisition cost amounting to $80 million.
The acquisition is scheduled to conclude on January 1, 2025, and is anticipated to enhance the Group's operating results immediately upon finalization.
Charles Gillespie, the CEO of Gambling.com Group, stated: "The strategic acquisition of Odds Holdings is set to augment our revenue streams, delivering consistent earnings that are independent of our leading online gambling affiliate operations. This aligns with our ongoing strategy to broaden our influence within the online gambling market."
The upfront $80 million transaction will be comprised of $70 million in cash and $10 million in shares. The Group plans to finance the $70 million cash component through borrowings.
In association with this agreement, GAMB has procured a debt financing commitment from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, facilitating a senior secured term loan and a revolving credit facility of no less than $100 million.
Odds is powered by a sophisticated technology platform providing real-time odds data and offers a range of services under various consumer and enterprise brands. For the full year 2024, Odds projects an adjusted EBITDA of $12 million with anticipated revenues reaching $26 million.
The team at Odds, including OddsJam founders Ankit Goyal and Alex Monahan, as well as CEO Matt Restivo, will integrate into the Gambling.com Group.
In pre-market trading on Nasdaq, GAMB shares rose by 9.27%, reaching $14.50.
