Exits UMG. The company announced that it has sold its UMG subsidiary to Harena Data, Inc. in an asset purchase. Purchase price was not disclosed, but we expect it to be diminutive. We view the sale favorably as the company exits this money losing operation and as the company positions itself to swing toward break even and concentrates on its profitable growth oriented businesses. 

Strategy gains visibility. The recent moves shift the company away from direct-to-consumer platforms in order to focus on its B2B businesses that carry higher margins. The repositioning of the company is expected to swing the company toward run rate break cash flow by the second half fiscal 2023….

Engine Gaming & Media Announces Agreement to Divest Assets of UMG Gaming Subsidiary to Harena Data

Research, News, and Market Data on Engine Gaming & Media

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2022 / Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (“Engine” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:GAME) (TSX-V:GAME), a data-driven, gaming, media and social influencer marketing solutions company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, UMG Events, LLC (“UMG”), had entered into an agreement with Harena Data, Inc. (“Harena Data”) for the sale of certain UMG assets. In addition to the transfer of assets, UMG will supply various technology services to Harena Data following the closing of the transaction. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter.

Harena Data will take ownership of the UMG online business, which hosts daily tournaments and matches for competitive esports players, as well as the ownership of the studio and media properties under UMG including its social channels. This transaction marks the next step in the Company’s ongoing portfolio shaping strategy to sharpen the focus on its core businesses and drive enhanced value creation. Harena Data Inc has focused on the building of gaming ecosystems and business units to serve those ecosystems.

“Earlier this year, we began a comprehensive portfolio review to identify cost savings opportunities available to Engine that would best position our Company for continued sustainable growth while focusing on our core businesses,” commented Lou Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of Engine. “The transition of UMG will further reduce cash expenditure by approximately $16M on a year-over-year basis and enable us to utilize our capital more efficiently. This is part of an overall effort to relieve the Company of the more significant cash expenditures necessary to support B2C gaming businesses, particularly as we enter a far more difficult macroeconomic environment. With this transaction, the sale of Eden games, and other cost savings initiatives we have implemented or will implement in the near term, we position the Company to achieve its goal of run rate breakeven in 2023.”

Tom Rogers, Executive Chairman of Engine, added, “We continue to take meaningful action to focus the business more narrowly on our B2B analytics, marketing, advertising and gaming businesses and sharpen our attention on our core growth engines while unlocking value for our shareholders. Beyond the benefits to our shareholders, this transaction will ensure the Engine team can focus on continuing to execute on our long-term strategy by positioning our assets to capitalize on numerous macro sector growth trends within the advertising and marketing landscape with particular focus on the fast growing social influencer space.”

Mr. Rogers concluded, “Engine will maintain close partnerships with many of UMG’s existing and historical clients, most notably Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Riot Games through relationships with our other subsidiaries. We want to especially thank the terrific team at UMG for their great work building a high-quality next-generation gaming experience.”

Q3 above expectations. Revenues of $8.2 million were above our $7 million estimate, largely reflecting one month earlier closing of the NextLevel acquisition. Gross margins improved in the quarter to 61.3%, better than our 60.7% estimate.  Adj. EBITDA of $557 million was slightly less than our $617,000 estimate, related to a timing issue for NextLevel’s cost synergies. 

Favorable same store revenue growth. The fiscal Q3 revenue reflected favorable 1.8% sequential quarterly revenue growth from the fiscal second quarter and year over year same store revenue growth of 1.6%. This is compelling given that resources are allocated toward integration and acquisitions and not focused on growing its markets, at this time. As the company gains scale, we believe that the company will ramp up marketing efforts for enhanced in-market growth….

Le Mans Virtual Series Returns for More Elite Esports Competition Including Award-Winning 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual

Research, News, and Market Data on Motorsport Games

THE FIVE-ROUND SERIES HAS A US $250,000 PRIZE FUND AT
STAKE AND MORE FLEXIBLE REGULATIONS FOR PRO DRIVERS

MIAMI, June 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le Mans Virtual
Series, a joint venture between Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) and the Automobile
Club de l’Ouest (ACO), returns this September with more of the elite, endurance esports competition, which has attracted world motor racing champions, captured global attention and received plaudits from teams, drivers and fans alike. The announcement was made today at the official ACO annual press conference ahead of the 90^th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Last year’s successful Le Mans Virtual Series culminated in a thrilling 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual in January 2022. Multiple major motorsport manufacturers and their drivers entered teams, including Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen and INDYCAR Champion Alex Palou among the 200-strong driver line up. An impressive, cumulated TV and digital audience figure of more than 81 million (Source: YouGov Sport) was registered throughout its five month season.

Similar to the 2021/22 series, all five rounds of the coming series will be held online on the rFactor2 platform, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual, the climax of the premier endurance esports championship. This format allows teams to compete virtually on simulators located all around the world for a total prize fund of US $250,000. For an exciting preview, click 
HERE to view a trailer for Le Mans Virtual Series 2022.

To allow more flexibility within professional drivers’ schedules – now fully restored after the disruption of the global COVID-19 pandemic – a change has been made to the driver requirements. Teams must enter one professional driver in at least one regular round of the series (i.e., Rounds 1-4), instead of being required to drive for the full season.

The 2022/23 calendar features some of the world’s most famous and recognizable racetracks across three continents, which will challenge drivers from the real and sim worlds and thrill the millions of esports enthusiasts around the globe. New for 2022 is the season-opening 8 Hours of Bahrain, a more modern classic which fits in comfortably with the historic and legendary status of Monza, Spa, Sebring and of course, the most iconic venue of them all, Le Mans.

The rounds will be as follows:
Round 1	8 Hours of Bahrain, Bahrain	September 17, 2022
Round 2	4 Hours of Monza, Italy	October 8, 2022
Round 3	6 Hours of Spa, Belgium	November 5, 2022
Round 4	500 Miles of Sebring, USA	December 3, 2022
Round 5	24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual	January 14/15, 2023

Giving their full and continued support to the Le Mans Virtual Series will be some of the world’s best known and most prestigious brands: 
Thrustmaster as Official Hardware Partner, Rolex as Official Timepiece Partner, Total Energies as Official Energy Partner, 
Goodyear as Official Tire Partner, Algorand as Official Blockchain Partner and LEGO® Technic as Official Engineering Partner.

Pierre Fillon, President of the ACO, commented: “We are very pleased to have supported and followed the success of the Le Mans Virtual Series to date with, as its highlight, the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual. The link between real-life motorsport and esports is an essential element for our manufacturers and teams, and we believe it has an important role to play in attracting a new, younger audience both on and off track. We all look forward to another excellent season of esports competition.”

CEO of Le Mans Virtual Series, Gérard Neveu, said: “Last year’s Le Mans Virtual Series was extremely successful and we strive to improve each year. The audience figures and returns we saw in 2021-22 go a long way towards recognizing the support of our impressive portfolio of partners, the collaboration of elite manufacturers and the commitment of the best sim racing teams, including our current champions, Team Redline. We are confident that we will continue to attract champions from all different categories of motorsport and sim racing and that we can produce another exciting and professional esports series for the massive worldwide gaming and spectator audiences to enjoy.”

The vision for the virtual series remains to be as prestigious and recognizable as the real-world FIA World Endurance Championship, which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans as its cornerstone event. The esports series will continue to use rFactor 2 as its platform, which is focused on the sim racing audience and provides a more authentic racing experience. Le Mans Virtual Series’ focus on increased race and strategy analysis and professional broadcasts of the races is expected to further boost fan interest and engagement. As in previous years, FIA-licensed drivers and sim racing experts compete together in the Le Mans Virtual Series in either LMP or GTE models. More details on the entry list for the Le Mans Virtual Series races, as well as when and where to watch the races, will be revealed at the beginning of September 2022.

About Le Mans Virtual Series:
Le Mans Virtual Series is a global, elite esports series made up of five rounds which bring together endurance racing and sim racing’ top teams to compete online on some of the world’s most famous racetracks.

Stream Hatchet Launches Stream Hatchet Brands – to Track Earned Media Value from Brand Advertisements In Streaming

Research, News, and Market Data on Engine Gaming & Media

Stream Hatchet Brands enables
the targeted performance measurement of over 2,300 major brands via logo
recognition models and chat analysis on video game streaming platforms

Barcelona, SPAIN – 8 June 2022 – Stream Hatchet, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (“Engine” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:GAME)(TSXV:GAME), today announced that it has launched Stream Hatchet Brands, a tool and comprehensive database that allows marketers to track earned media value from over 2,300 major brands on video game streaming platforms

Stream Hatchet Brands provides detailed information and curated data sets on the prominence of brand appearances within the top video game streamers, as well as the earned media value generated in each individual frame. This allows marketers to track brand logo impressions related to viewership and brand affinity and present them in dashboards

These dashboards can be filtered into specific categories and industry segments to enhance comparative analysis, and the final data can be processed into a variety of visuals and reports.

Stream Hatchet Brands features three advanced data curation methods:

• Logo detection with frame by frame
  methodology – A bespoke model allows the tracking of brand logos by observing the stream frame by frame. Using this data, internal algorithms generate an earned media value providing a micro-level and highly accurate performance measurement.

• Logo detection by logo presence
  methodology – In addition to tracking brand logos in streaming videos, Stream Hatchet Brands also tracks brand presence on a larger level, allowing brands to benchmark their presence against a broader quantity of live streaming platforms.

• Chat analysis – Brand mentions are detected by analyzing the complete chat history of all channels, and Stream Hatchet Brands’ advanced methodology tracks specific brand mentions by analyzing the context of the chat to avoid tracking keywords that share the brand name.

More than ever, brands are leveraging gaming influencers and esports events to reach the core gaming audience, which is full of lucrative consumers for various brands,” said Eduard Monsterrat, CEO at Stream Hatchet. “Tracking earned media value on live streams has never been easy, but now with the launch of Stream Hatchet Brands, brand marketers have a simple way of accurately determining the level of brand lift they are generating through sponsorship activations. They can see where their logos appear on stream and how prominent they are compared to competitors, while also tracking brand affinity through audience mentions in chat.

“What makes our products unique”, Montserrat continued, “is our taxonomy and classification methodology. Our data experts spend a copious amount of time properly labelling each individual data point that flows through our reporting offerings, and we never sacrifice quality”.

Motorsport Games and BTCC Announce Future Promotional Plan to Upcoming Official BTCC Game

Research, News, and Market Data on Motorsport Games

THE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS WILL CONTINUE REFINING THE USER EXPERIENCE WHILE BOTH COMPANIES WILL OFFER MULTIPLE BRAND ACTIVATIONS AND GAMEPLAY CONTENT IN THE LEAD-UP TO FULL RELEASE

MIAMI, June 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games”
or the “Company”), a leading racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport racing series throughout the world, announces today a promotional plan update, including activations, content releases and ‘first-play content’ tech demos through rFactor 2, to its planned British Touring Car Championship (“BTCC”) official game, which will release in 2024, as previously disclosed by the Company. A link to the trailer for the rFactor 2 content can be found here.

Motorsport Games and its developers are expanding and reinforcing their BTCC development efforts to optimize the user experience, offer a better value proposition to the end user and enhance product differentiation within a robust racing games marketplace. By expanding their development efforts, the Motorsport Games development team will fundamentally overhaul the platform, allowing for a cleaner codebase with more robust features. As part of these efforts, Motorsport Games will leverage the improvements it made to the rFactor 2 platform, developed in its work on KartKraft, to strengthen the BTCC offering, unifying the title with the Company’s current and future product portfolio to create the best possible user experience.

George Holmquist, Vice President, Publishing and Marketing,
Motorsport Games: “We are expanding our development efforts on the BTCC release to create the best experience possible for all players, with the full support from our partners at the BTCC. Both Motorsport Games and the BTCC are committed to bringing this famous and popular motorsport series to life within the virtual world. We remain excited by this project and look forward to the many activations and content releases we have planned for the BTCC game.”

While these development efforts are ongoing, Motorsport Games and the BTCC will have multiple activations for fans to participate in. This includes on-site BTCC Fan Zone events at selected BTCC events in the second half of the 2022 season, at the Autosport International Show and future BTCC events during the 2023 season. At those races during 2022 and the majority of 2023, the BTCC Fan Zone will have between two to four racing simulators with BTCC ‘first-play content’ tech demos through rFactor 2. As the BTCC game development progresses, each activation will include the official BTCC game via demos at the tracks. Fans who participate will be able to provide real-time feedback for the new game’s development. As development approaches full release in 2024, more content is planned to become available through first playable demos.

Further, Motorsport Games plans to add additional BTCC branded content into the rFactor 2 simulation platform, which would also host regular BTCC esports events. Motorsport Games and rFactor 2 added the Infiniti Q50 and Toyota Corolla BTCC cars into the simulation for fans to drive as part of a first content rollout. Daily BTCC competitions through the rFactor 2 competition system will be open to all users, allowing for statistics-driven benefits to each driver’s rating. All content released via rFactor 2 will be utilized as a technical test bed, allowing consumers and official drivers to provide feedback for the development team and help build the best experience upon full release.

Alan Gow, CEO, BTCC: “While we understand that our fans are eager to get their hands on the BTCC game, I can assure them that the expanded development efforts that Motorsport Games is pursuing through the game’s 2024 launch will make it well worth the wait. So, we invite all of our fans to attend activations at selected BTCC events later this year to get a first look and to provide their feedback, so as to help make the new BTCC game the very best.”

Motorsport Games will announce additional information on select BTCC events featuring test versions of the game closer to each activation date. Fans are encouraged to keep up-to-date on the status of the official BTCC game through the social media channels of both Motorsport Games and the BTCC.
