“We conducted a deep dive into our business from top to bottom and pinpointed operations and contracts that weren’t profitable, leading to decisive actions that have set us up for a promising future,” commented Alex Igelman, CEO of Esports Entertainment. “Although the restructuring came with one-time expenses, we are confident that the long-term advantages will significantly outweigh these costs”.
This will allow EEG to reduce its annual operating expenses by more than $4 million. The company also reduced total liabilities by approximately $51.8 million since January 2023: ” This period of time in the Company’s evolution marks a pivotal shift and new beginning, allowing us to leave behind past barriers and shape a path that maximizes our potential for success, which we believe will drive significant revenue growth and value for our shareholders,” added Igelman.
