Overall revenue increased by 42% during the year.

SharpLink Gaming has published its financial and business results for the end of 2023. Total revenue, along with gross profit rose significantly during the year.

SharpLink posted 42% growth in its total revenue from continuing operations. Revenue by the end of the year reached nearly $5m.

The company reported revenue gains in its affiliate marketing services, with the largest annual increase in its US segment.

Revenue from its US affiliate climbed by 1112% to reach $754,446. The company’s international segment reported a 22% rise in revenue for the year.

Gross profit across the board grew by 17% last year to total $1.5m. However, its gross profit margin declined from 38% to 31%. SharpLink attributed this decrease to “higher marketing costs associated with engagement of Search Engine Optimization and programmatic advertising campaigns used to drive traffic to our direct-to-player sites in the US.”

The company also reported a net loss of $11.2m for the year.

SharpLink recently sold RSports Interactive all its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and membership interests for $22.5m. The equity sale included the company’s Sports Gaming Client Services and SportsHub Gaming Network business segments as part of an all-cash transaction.

Chairman and CEO Rob Phythian further discussed sale and the company’s current financial state by saying, “With the completion of the sale of our free-to-play sports games development and fantasy sports businesses in January 2024, followed shortly thereafter by the completion of our domestication merger in February 2024, SharpLink is now in a much better financial position and free to concentrate on growth opportunities that will allow us to make progress towards our long-term goal of creating enduring shareholder value.”
