“We continue to benefit from strong payer engagement in our flagship social casino game, DoubleDown Casino, and intend to continue to focus on growing player monetization through the development and introduction of new casino-wide features that provide players with great entertainment and excellent value. We are also deploying capital to expand our business into new gaming categories such as iGaming through our previously announced acquisition of SuprNation, which is expected to close later this year. Our ongoing initiatives to further optimize our core social casino business has positioned DoubleDown to deliver consistent attractive annual free cash flow. As a result, we have a strong balance sheet with more than $100 million in uncommitted capital, which provides the company with significant optionality to deploy resources to enhance shareholder value. We are off to a strong start to the year, and believe we have the right strategy and operating initiatives in place to continue our solid performance over the balance of 2023.”
