Bragg Gaming Cuts Costs Amid Revenue Decline, Acquires Drayton
Event summary
- Q2 2026 revenue declined 12% YoY to EUR 22.9m, driven by legacy contract roll-offs in the Netherlands and flat Brazil revenue.
- Operating loss improved by EUR 0.4m YoY to EUR 1.9m, with Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 15% from 13%.
- Acquired Drayton International for USD 9.0m in shares, appointing Matt Davey as Non-Executive Chairman.
- Further reduced workforce by 19%, targeting EUR 6.0m in annualized savings.
The big picture
Bragg Gaming is doubling down on cost-cutting and strategic acquisitions to counter revenue pressures. The Drayton deal, led by new Chairman Matt Davey, signals a focus on restructuring for profitability. However, the withdrawal of 2026 guidance highlights integration risks as the company navigates market-specific challenges in Europe and North America.
