![Newgioco Group Announces Initial Research Coverage by Echelon Wealth Partners]()
* NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 23, 2018 /* Newgioco Group, Inc. (OTCQB: NWGI) a betting technology company providing regulated sports betting and leisure gaming products and services through licensed subsidiaries in Europe, is pleased to announce that Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. ("Echelon") has initiated analyst coverage of Newgioco. Echelon represents the first investment dealer to initiate and publish coverage of Newgioco giving the Company a Speculative Buy rating on a deferred cashflow basis with a target price of $1.80.
The research report dated August 21, 2018 entitled "Newgioco Group Inc. Italians Love their Sportsbook; Interesting Roll-Up Opportunity with a Fully Loaded B2B/B2C Platform" was prepared and written by Ralph Garcea, Managing Director and Gianluca Tucci Equity Research Associate, Technology, Gaming and Diversified Industry analysts at Echelon, as an independent analysis of the Company's activities and progress. In addition to meeting with senior management at the Company's corporate head office in Toronto, Canada, the analysts conducted onsite due diligence at both the operational office in Rome, Italy and at the technology office in Innsbruck, Austria.
The Echelon report also noted among other details that "NWGI is currently trading, on our estimates, at a 2019E EV/Sales and EV/EBITDA of 0.7x/5.3x versus its Global Gaming comparables at 2.4x/8.4x, respectively." Additional noteworthy opinions from a value-added perspective included: "Historically, NWGI's payout ratio has been under 90%, meaning the house's keep has been averaging north of 10%. In its Q2'18 filings, web-based turnover grew 100% y/y to $55.0M, with land-based turnover expanding 104% y/y to $45.0M. We like the near ~50/50 split between webbased and retail turnover, furthering our belief that retail operations are a key cultural bias in the Italian marketplace," and further stated that "We believe the Italian online market is where the UK market was 10 years ago, and the real growth is ahead of us."
