Gambling.com Group has secured a new $50 million credit facility as a result of a finance deal with Wells Fargo.
The funding amount is split evenly into a $25 million revolving credit facility and a $25 million loan facility and will be used by Gambling.com Group “for general corporate purposes and to settle deferred consideration, and to fund potential growth opportunities.”
The new credit facility is due to mature in three years’ time and may be incrementally increased by Wells Fargo up to $10 million in the aggregate.
“We have established a track record of successful execution on our growth initiatives that are delivering consistently strong revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow growth,” Gambling.com Group Chief Financial Officer Elias Mark said. “This new credit facility enhances our already strong balance sheet and liquidity. Thereby, it provides additional financial flexibility as we pursue both organic and inorganic growth opportunities that can further scale the business and generate incremental value for our shareholders.”

Assessing the year, CEO Charlies Gillespie said the group’s North American progress has been a huge driver.
