James Lanthier, chief executive officer of Tangelo, commented: "In the first quarter of 2017, our revenues experienced an initial dip. Revenues, however, recovered near the end of the quarter and continue to trend positively into the second quarter. Average monthly paying users in the quarter followed a similar seasonal pattern, declining from approximately 59,000 to 56,000.

"While adjusted EBITDA decreased in tandem with revenue due to seasonality, Tangelo continued to enjoy margins, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 27 per cent due to the operating efficiency gains realized in 2016.

"The company continues to make progress towards the ultimate goal of a transaction that will improve the company's capital structure and benefit all stakeholders. The company will update the market when or if there are material developments."

Vicenc Marti, president of Tangelo, commented: "As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance its product portfolio and accelerate the cadence of new content and pace of migration, Tangelo is fortunate to have added two very experienced product and technology executives in Adalberto Bruno and Eli Atlas. Adalberto brings to Tangelo extremely valuable operating systems experience from Marmalade and Electronic Arts, and Eli is the second senior executive from industry-leading Playtika to join Tangelo after Dvir Ackerman came on board a year ago. I am pleased to lead this all-star team of product and technology experts at Tangelo who will strive to place the company in a unique position to profit from the industry's anticipated growth phase."

By the end of the third quarter of 2017, the company expects to have completed the conversion to Unity of games representing approximately 70 per cent of the revenue of Tangelo Spain. By the end of the fourth quarter, the company expects to release a new mobile-first Mundijuegos app for the Spanish-speaking market that Tangelo has traditionally led in desktop and now expects to continue to lead in mobile. This suite of games, containing games across the slots, bingo and video bingo categories will offer the company's loyal Mundijuegos customers a world-class mobile experience. Additionally, the company expects to release two additional mobile-first apps for the English-speaking market by the end of 2017.
