Play Magnus Group (PMG) - Announcing Charity Cup as a Fundraiser for UNICEF

Russian invasion of Ukraine. The fastest growing humanitarian crisis in Europe
since the Second World War is unfolding due to Russia’s military actions.
Millions of civilians are affected, and children in particular are being
profoundly traumatized by the violence around them.

In response to the ongoing situation, the next tournament in the Meltwater
Champions Chess Tour will be named the Charity Cup. It will also serve as a
fundraiser for UNICEF. UNICEF provides life-saving support for children and
their families in and around Ukraine, and the Tour wholeheartedly supports their
humanitarian work.

“As a global organization serving millions of chess fans around the world, we
are humbled to be in a position to organize our upcoming tournament, the Charity
Cup, as a fundraiser for UNICEF to support their vital humanitarian activities
in and around Ukraine,” said Andreas Thome, CEO Play Magnus Group.

Play Magnus Group believes that sports, and chess in particular, can play a
significant role in offering unity by bringing people to the table, physically,
virtually, and metaphorically. Still, based on the situation in Ukraine, after
careful consideration the Tour has decided not to include any Russian players
for the tournament starting on March 19.

Play Magnus Group (PMG) - Near Foundation Joins Tour for Charity Cup

…

Vis børsmeldingen

Tour, the Charity Cup, which features 16 of the world’s top chess stars and
starts today, March 19 from 18:00 CET, is being put on with the newest partner
of the Tour, NEAR Foundation. NEAR Foundation is responsible for supporting the
awareness of NEAR and adoption of related web3 technologies.

Following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Play Magnus Group announced this week
that donations collected during the event will go to support humanitarian work,
and the crypto-native Unchain Fund - https://unchain.fund/, a charity project
created by blockchain activists with the goal to break the chain of war.

“The crypto community’s response to this crisis has been extremely inspiring and
focused on the utility of web3 community organizing. Across the web3 community,
tens of millions of dollars have been raised, with over two million dollars on
the NEAR protocol alone. It’s great to see the chess community come together
like this now as well during the Champions Chess Tour’s Charity Cup,” said Chris
Ghent, from NEAR Foundation.

World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen heads the line-up for the Charity Cup, the
second stage of the 2022 Meltwater Champions Chess Tour. Carlsen is the current
Tour leader and reigning champion. However, the Norwegian faces competition from
an elite field that includes five other national No.1 players. Other names to
look out for include India’s 16-year-old sensation Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa,
who beat Carlsen in the last event, and Tour newcomer Richard Rapport, who shot
to No.7 in the world rankings.

Throughout the event players and fans will be encouraged to donate to the
charity fund. Anyone wanting to donate, can do so here -
Chess Championship Tour | UNICEF.

The tournament runs from March 19th to 26th and will be broadcast live on
www.chess24.com - http://www.chess24.com’s YouTube and Twitch channels.

About NEAR

NEAR is a decentralized development platform built on top of the NEAR Protocol,
which is a public, shared, developer-friendly, proof-of-stake blockchain. Put
another way, NEAR is like a public community-run cloud platform. That means it
is a highly scalable, low cost platform for developers to create decentralized
apps on top of. NEAR was specifically constructed to solve issues related to
system and organizational design that have plagued the original blockchains and
prevented mainstream adoption. In addition, NEAR is also one of the first
blockchain technologies to receive a third-party carbon-neutral certification.

Noen som følger dette selskapet i det hele tatt? Synes det begynner å virke billig nå. Innsidere har handlet både på kurser rundt 20kr og nedover, samt at Magnus og Henrik Carlsen har handlet ganske mye på kurs 13 kr.

Jeg vurderer en inngang snart.

[stone]

Jeg tok en liten post på 33 og solgte på 24
Virker absolutt billig nå, men har så mange på listen som virker lavt priset nå så har egentlig glemt denne litt bort… Kanskje det blir et lite lodd om den holder seg her en liten stund

[deepmind]

Lurer på det samme, men hvilke triggere har et selskap som dette?

[AndyO]

Jeg kan se for meg at det vil være ganske lavterskel for Microsoft å kjøpe denne sjappa. Ren gjetning.

[Chrkni]

Bare fordi de kan, eller er det en spesiell grunn? Det er ganske mange selskaper innenfor sektoren man kan si at Microsoft/Meta kan kjøpe…

[rokky]

Om et selskap kjøpes opp eller ikke, blir jo bare gjetning. En bedre grunn til å kjøpe aksjen er kombinasjonen inntekter på all time high i Q4 og kurs på all time low…

[AndyO]

Godt spørsmål! Microsoft vil inn i gaming og chess24, lichess osv. er det beste innen segmentet, synes jeg.

[Oddbear]

@deepmind

vilke triggere har et selskap som dette

Jeg er litt usikker, men jeg ser for meg at dersom de får til videre organisk vekst og styrker posisjonen sin som den dominerende aktøren innen alt som har med internettsjakk så er de godt på vei.

Om de i tillegg når guidingen sin og begynner å gå med stadig større overskudd så bør jo dette bli en hyggelig reise dersom man kommer seg inn på dagens kursnivåer. Første mål bør kanskje å levere positive tall i løpet av de neste q-presentasjonene?!

Play Magnus Group (PMG) - Charity Cup Raises Over $150K for Ukraine

the chess community in tandem with new charitable activities enabled Play Magnus
Group to raise over $150,000 for UNICEF during the Charity Cup, the second leg
of the 2022 Meltwater Champions Chess Tour.

“With the world in shock due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we decided to
shift the focus of the second leg of the Tour to support those in need and
affected by the war. It gave additional meaning to collaborate with UNICEF on
rapidly organizing a fundraiser during the tournament,” said Arne Horvei, Tour
Director at Play Magnus Group.

The Meltwater Champions Chess Tour was founded by Play Magnus Group in 2020 and
takes the form of nine tournaments throughout a full year of online chess.
Magnus Carlsen has a central role in the Tour and leads the field of 26 players
who have participated so far after the first two tournaments.

“We took several proactive steps, and our partners answered the call on short
notice. Partners including Puma, FTX, Airthings, Julius Baer, and NEAR
Foundation contributed their own donations to the fundraiser. During the
broadcast, we also invited guests to try their luck playing against the
ten-year-old version of Magnus Carlsen through the Play Magnus app. These guest
participants donated in accordance with how many moves they managed to last
against Magnus,” said Horvei.

Viewers also responded well to the fundraiser according to Horvei, with
contributions coming in from more than 60 countries.

“During the broadcast we notably auctioned off a chessboard signed by Magnus
Carlsen for $8,600. Seeing high numbers is fun when it is for a good cause,”
said Horvei.

The tournament ended on March 26th, however donations are still welcome via
chess24.com/donate - http://chess24.com/donate.

Play Magnus Group (PMG) - Q1 2022: Fortsatt sterk vekst, opprettholder målet om break-even

24.5.2022 16:30:01 CEST | Play Magnus AS | Halvårsrapporter og
revisjonsberetninger/uttalelser om forenklet revisorkontroll

…

Vis børsmeldingen

(Oslo, 24. mai 2022) - Det globale sjakkselskapet Play Magnus Group
offentliggjorde i dag sine resultater for første kvartal 2022. Selskapet leverte
driftsinntekter i kvartalet på 6,1 millioner dollar, en vekst på 32 prosent
sammenliknet med samme kvartal i fjor. Ordreinngangen endte på 8,1 millioner
dollar, en vekst på 53 prosent sammenlignet med samme periode i fjor. Justert
EBITDA endte på -2,5 millioner dollar sammenlignet med -2,6 millioner i første
kvartal 2021 og minus -3,7 millioner dollar i fjerde kvartal 2021.

• Vi er glade for nok en gang å kunne rapportere fortsatt god vekst og
  sekvensiell resultatforbedring drevet av Champions Chess Tour. Etter flere
  måneder med stadig nye rekorder, så vi fra februar en svakere utvikling enn
  forventet for e-læring-segmentet. Til tross for dette var det første kvartalet
  selskapets sterkeste noensinne når gjelder ordreinngang, og vi opprettholder
  vårt mål en ordreinngang på 100 millioner dollar innen utgangen av 2025, sier
  administrerende direktør i Play Magnus Group, Andreas Thome.

Play Magnus Group har tidligere kommunisert et mål om break-even run-rate for
justert EBITDA innen utgangen av 2022 og fortsette med positive resultater i
2023.

• Vår viktigste prioritet er å nå målet om lønnsomhet. Siden vi ble notert på
  Euronext Growth i 2020 har vi fokusert på å øke inntektene våre, ta ut synergier
  og optimalisere driften. Nå i 2022 tar vi en rekke initiativer for å sikre at vi
  når lønnsomhet innen utgangen av året, sier Andreas Thome.

I løpet av første kvartal har Play Magnus Group redusert kostnadsnivået med 2,0
millioner dollar på helårsbasis. Kostnadsreduksjonen vil ha effekt fra andre
kvartal 2022. Ytterligere kostnadsoptimaliseringer iverksettes i andre kvartal
og gjennom resten av året.

• Samtidig som vi optimaliserer kostnadsbasen vår og tar ut synergier fra de
  nylige oppkjøpene, fortsetter vi å videreutvikle produktene og tjenestene våre i
  de mest attraktive segmentene innen sjakk: e-læring og esport. I begge segmenter
  er forretningsmodellene svært skalerbare. Vi er ledende i utviklingen i
  kommersialiseringen av sjakksporten globalt, og vi har muligheten til å skape
  store verdier. Mer enn 650 millioner mennesker spiller sjakk globalt, og
  kommersialiseringen er fortsatt på et veldig tidlig stadium over hele verden,
  sier Andreas Thome.

Play Magnus Group opprettholder sin målsetting for ordreinngang på 100 millioner
dollar i årlig run-rate ved utgangen av 2025. I første kvartal 2022 er
tilsvarende årlig run-rate på 32,4 millioner dollar.

Finansielle hovedpunkter første kvartal 2022

• Ordreinngang: 8,1 millioner dollar (+53 % å/å)
• Driftsinntekter: 6,1 millioner dollar (+32 % å/å)
• Månedlig betalende brukere: 62.700 (+7 % å/å)
• Gjennomsnittlig inntekt per betalende bruker (ARPPU): 19,1 dollar (+8 % å/å)
• Justert EBITDA: -2.5 millioner dollar (-3.7 millioner i Q4 21, 2.6 millioner
  i Q1 21)
• Resultat før skatt, - 5,3 millioner dollar (-5.5 millioner i Q4 21, -4.2
  million i Q1 21)

Vedlagt er Q1 2022-presentasjonen for Play Magnus Group.

Administrerende direktør Andreas Thome og finansdirektør Dmitri Shneider vil

• Lavere digitalt konsum førte i Q1 til en nedgang i bookings for segmentene Courses(fra 3,2 til 2,5 mUSD) og Subscriptions(fra 1,5 til 1,1 mUSD). Derav også nedgangen i ARPPU og månedlige betalende kunder.

• Solid økning i bookings for segmentet Tour revenue & partnerships (fra 1,5 mUSD til 3,9 mUSD).

• Omsetning ned QoQ grunnet lav konversjonsrate på bookings i Tour-segmentet. Bare 1,8 mUSD ble bokført som inntekt av bookings på 3,9 mUSD, altså under 50%. De forventer denne raten å være høyere i de kommende kvartalene, i 2021 lå denne raten på 62,5% i snitt.

• God kostnadskontroll og de er godt i gang med et program for å minimere kostnader. Dette programmet forventes å gi full effekt fra Q2. Mens omsetningen er redusert QyQ med 4% fra 6,32 mUSD til 6,07 mUSD så er OPEXen redusert med 15% fra ca 10 mUSD til ca 8,5 mUSD.

• de brenner cash, over 50 mill norske kroner i 1. kvartal! De har pr utgangen av Q1 24,7 mUSD på konto. Selv tror jeg på en betydelig forbedret cash flow de kommende kvartalene som følge av lavere kostnader og økt fakturering, dessuten vil mesteparten av de 3,9 mUSD i bookings fra Tour-segmentet komme på konto de neste kvartalene.
