EQS-Ad-hoc: ZEAL Network SE / Key word(s): Preliminary Results ZEAL announces preliminary numbers for 2022 and outlook for 2023 (Hamburg, 27 February 2023) According to preliminary calculations, ZEAL Network SE achieved double-digit growth in billings, revenues and EBITDA in the financial year 2022. Billings rose by 16% to €758.4 million (2021: €656.5 million), thus exceeding the forecast of at least €750 million. Thanks to a higher-margin product mix, revenues grew disproportionately by 21% to €105.2 million (2021: €86.8 million1), thus exceeding the forecast of at least €105 million. At 12.9%, the gross margin exceeded the previous year's level by 0.7 percentage points (2021: 12.2%). Despite the strong expansion of marketing activities in phases of high jackpots, EBITDA increased by 14% to €31.7 million (2021: €27.7 million) and was thus above the forecast of at least €30 million. Personnel expenses remained unchanged at the previous year's level of €18.9 million (2021: €19.0 million). Due to intensive marketing activities in July and November 2022, marketing costs increased by around €12 million to €34.1 million (2021: €22.4 million) and were thus responsible for most of the increase in other operating expenses to €57.0 million (2021: €41.1 million). Due to successful marketing activities, registered new customers were 29% higher than in the previous year at 703 thousand (2021: 544 thousand). Outlook 2023 In the financial year 2023, we plan to further expand our market leadership as an online provider of lottery products and to introduce new products, including online games under the licence for virtual slot machine games we applied for.

Moreover, ZEAL expects revenues in a range of €110 million to €120 million in the fiscal year 2023. EBITDA is expected to reach in a range of €30 million to €35 million.
