SPORTTOTAL AG reports positive operating result for the first time since
strategic transformation

* Transformation pays off

* Revenues of EUR 45 million in the 2023 financial year

* Positive EBITDA of EUR +0.3 million in line with guidance

* Positive outlook for the 2024 financial year

Cologne, 25 April 2024. SPORTTOTAL AG reports revenue of EUR 45 million for
the 2023 financial year, which is only slightly below the previous year's
revenue level. This is despite the loss of around EUR 20 million from the
EVENT business and around EUR 20 million (FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar) from
the business with the production subsidiary Forty10, which was founded on
behalf of Deutsche Telekom.

For the first time since the strategic transformation into a technology
company based on artificial intelligence (AI), a positive operating result
(EBITDA) is reported, which means that SPORTTOTAL is once again in line with
the issued guidance. The successful implementation of the Formula 1 project
in Qatar in the VENUES segment also contributed to the pleasing development
in 2023.

The operating result of the VENUES segment and the once again successful
marketing of the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h race at the Nürburgring resulted in
an overall improvement of EUR +4 million in EBITDA. In addition, the wholly
owned subsidiary STAIDIUM US Inc., which was founded in the USA, achieved a
better result than expected in its first year of operation.

For the 2024 financial year, the Executive Board expects a further
significant increase in revenue and earnings in the DIGITAL segment,
particularly as a result of the rapidly scalable streaming platform business
for live sport in the USA. The first contracts for the North American market
were concluded with clubs, leagues and operators of sports arenas in 2023.
Access to the STAIDIUM US platform will be offered for a fee in the USA.
STAIDIUM US will exclusively use the fully automated camera systems based on
AI developed by SPORTTOTAL for its streaming service.

A new order for a major project at SPORTTOTAL VENUES is expected for the
2024 financial year. Due to the currently unclear timing of the order and
the associated degree of realization of the 2024 project, it is difficult to
predict the revenue and operating result from this project.

For the SPORTTOTAL Group as a whole, revenue of between EUR 22 million and
EUR 53 million are therefore guided for the current financial year, with a
positive operating result (EBITDA) of between EUR +0 million and EUR +9
million.
