EBITDA margin of 49% (47%). Media revenue was just below our expectations, but slightly above Factset consensus, while adj EBITDA came in 4-5% above us and cons on a higher-than-expected margin. The Google update seems to have had a limited impact on revenue thus far, in line with our expectations, and GiG mentions that while some sites have been negatively affected (like casinotopsonline.com, a key brand), sites such as AskGamblers and Time2Play have been benefited to offset. Moreover, AskGamblers&#8217; revenue was up 58% and 21% y-o-y and q-o-q, respectively, while KaFe Rocks (recently acquired) grew by 20% sequentially with both delivering strong EBITDA margins. As such, we keep being encouraged by GiG's accretive M&amp;A strategy. July's revenue was up 37% y-o-y which is a bit lower than our pre-Q2 growth for the full quarter (48%), but remember that it is a limited period of time, and that July is likely the smallest month in Q3, so the figure can be volatile for such short period. The guidance has not changed (not mentioned), so we expect the EUR 125-135m in FY'24 revenue guidance to remain, which is in line with consensus (EUR 129m).</p><h3 class="bm-h3">Platform and Sportsbook sees temporary pressure but strong outlook</h3><p>Platform and Sportsbook came in short of expectations and explained the small miss versus consensus on a group level, and now guides for EUR 2.5-3.5m negative adj. EBITDA for FY'24 (cons at EUR -1m). However, the soft Q2 should be seen in light of the re-structuring phase and as the outlook remain strong, GiG Platform and Sportsbook expects FY'25 revenue and EBITDA of &gt;EUR 44m and EUR 10m, respectively, in line with consensus EUR 44m and EUR 11m.</p><h3 class="bm-h3"><strong>Conference call at 10.00 CET</strong></h3><p>We look forward hearing more details on the Q2 results as well as the outlook at the conference call, starting 10.00 CET.
