Super Group (SGHC) Limited (NYSE: SGHC), the parent company of
Betway, a leading online sports betting and gaming business and
Spin, the multi-brand online casino, today issued a business update

Super Group is raising its prior full-year 2024 total revenue
guidance from €1.55 billion to €1.6 billion, and its ex-US Adjusted
EBITDA guidance from greater than €345 million to at least €360

of record as of the close of business on 23 December 2024. This
dividend, combined with the initial 2024 dividend of 10¢ per share
paid in July, takes the total shareholder dividend declared for
2024 to 25¢ per share. The company re-iterated its intention to
begin paying a regular quarterly dividend, subject to Board
approval, in 2025.
Chief Executive Officer, Neal Menashe commented: “I’m very proud
of our performance this year and delighted we are in a position to
raise our full-year revenue and ex-US Adjusted EBITDA guidance
again while announcing another dividend for 2024. We have
consistently said that we will consider returning excess cash to
shareholders, and the outstanding performance of the business
throughout 2024 alongside the continued strength of our balance
sheet, has given us the platform to be able to do this. It has been
a super year for Super Group and we look forward to building on
this success as we move into 2025.”
