**Enthusiast Gaming Announces Year-End 2022 Results**

**Annual Revenue of $202.8 million, up 21%YOY** 

**Gross profit of $63.5 million, up 68%YOY**

 **Gross margin of 31.3%, up 870 bps YOY** 

**Direct sales of $37.4 million, up 69% YOY**

LOS ANGELES, March 27, 2023 -- **Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc.** ("Enthusiast Gaming" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:EGLX; TSX:EGLX), an integrated gaming entertainment company, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

*"Our 2022 financial and operating results continue to demonstrate that Enthusiast Gaming is on the path to achieving sustained profitability in 2023. The Company achieved record performance in each of its main KPI's, including revenue, gross profit, gross margin, direct sales, and subscriptions, despite challenging macroeconomic conditions that impacted programmatic advertising revenue in the second half of the year, a period in which the Company adopted operational efficiency measures to reduce expenses,"* **commented Nick Brien, CEO of Enthusiast Gaming.** *"In addition, as evidenced by the rapid gross margin acceleration, up 870 bps in 2022, we've continued to diversify the business away from commoditized, lower-margin revenue, towards a higher-margin, solution-based mix, focused on bespoke content and brand solutions, subscription- and product-based offerings, and our Pocket Gamer Connects live events series, which set record attendance in 2022."*

 

**2022 Financial Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue was $202.8 million, representing a 21% increase from revenue for 2021 of $167.4 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross profit was $63.5 million, representing a 68% increase from gross profit for 2021 of $37.8
million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Direct sales was $37.4 million, representing a 69% increase from
direct sales in 2021 of $22.2 million. Direct sales are included in revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Paid subscribers as at December 31, 2022, of 262,000, representing
an 19% increase from paid subscribers as at December 31, 2021, of 220,000, with record subscription
revenue of $14.5 million, up 54% from $9.4 million in 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Secured a $10 million expansion of its credit facility in September, increasing the size of
the facility from $10 million to $20 million. Subsequent to the year, the Company received approval from its lender to extend the maturity dates for the credit
facility, together with the Company's $5 million operating facility, for an additional year to December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sold certain video gaming editorial websites for a purchase price
of approximately $6.8 million, representing a multiple of approximately 4.5x associated revenue, and resulting in a gain on sale of intangible
assets of $4.8 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Settled certain deferred and earn-out payments
in connection with its acquisitions of Addicting Games, Outplayed, and Vedatis through the
issuance of an aggregate of 16,168,836 common shares at an implied weighted average value of US$2.47 per share. The Addicting Games deferred
payments, Outplayed deferred and earn-out payments and Vedatis deferred payment represented a total liability for the Company of more
than US$40 million to be paid over a period lasting until December 2023.

**2022 Operational Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Signed multi-year partnership with the National Football League
(the "NFL") to launch a first-of-its-kind gaming collaboration, NFL Tuesday Night Gaming ("NFL TNG"), which debuted
on September 13, 2022. NFL TNG had approximately 48 million impressions across livestream
and social content in 2022. Produced and broadcasted 19 episodes, connecting millions of
fans with over 100 of their favorite NFL stars and gamers. The investment in 2022, and in particular in Q4, gained significant momentum
exiting the year as evidenced by the growing fan engagement and considerable new brand participation
in the series.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFL TNG media sponsors in 2022 included: Hulu
+ Live TV, Xbox, Paramount+, Disney+, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, Nickelodeon, and the FDA. Additional sponsors subsequent to year-end
include TurboTax, Verizon, Campbell's Chunky Soup, Hasbro, Sour Patch Kids, and Carnival Cruise Line.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Renewals or new business with key notable direct sales partners
including Adidas, State Farm, HBO Max, Lego, Amazon, RBC, Universal Pictures, Uber, Doordash, Nintendo US, US Navy, Pandora Jewelry, GFuel,
and Fidelity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Resumed hosting live events under Pocket Gamer Connects B2B series.
2022 saw record attendance across events in London, Seattle, Toronto, Helsinki, Jordan, and
a brand-new event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Activated a partnership with Fractal, an
NFT marketplace co-founded by Justin Kan, co-founder of Twitch, resulting in over 6,000 NFTs being minted by the Company and integrated
into one of the Company's HTML5-based games, EV.IO (playable at <u>www.ev.io</u>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EV.IO, the Company's browser-based first-person shooter game, won multiple game of the
year awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completed the acquisition of Fantasy Football Scout, one of the largest online communities for
fantasy football players.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expanded Luminosity Gaming into new titles, including Rocket League, Apex Legends, and Halo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Luminosity Gaming won second place at the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship in December.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enthusiast Gaming reached 50 million unique visitor traffic in
December with female reach at an all-time high of 21 million unique visitors - 15% reach
of the total female US digital population as measured by Comscore.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Entered into a new content partnership with Netflix to launch
and support the Geeked:Toonin live stream weekly on Netflix's Twitch account and the Geeked TikTok channel in November and December.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Launched an in-house talent agency, Storied, to access best-in-class talent for
Enthusiast Gaming content initiatives such as NFL TNG.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Subsequent to the year-end, the Company was
ranked as the #1 gaming property for unique visitor traffic in the United States, based on
the latest digital media ratings from Comscore, a leading independent media measurement firm (Comscore Media Metrix®, Games,
January 2023, U.S.).

**Q4 2022 Financial Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue of $54.0 million, a decrease of 5% vs revenue of $56.9 million in Q4 2021.
The year-over-year decrease in revenue was primarily driven by lower CPMs in Q4 2022 as compared to Q4 2021 as observed in the broader
digital advertising industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross profit of $18.1 million, a 32% increase
vs gross profit of $13.7 million in Q4 2021, and the highest quarterly gross profit to date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross margin of 33.5%, an increase of 940
bps vs gross margin of 24.1% in Q4 2021. The increase in gross margin is primarily driven by high growth rates in direct sales and subscription
revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Direct sales of $12.8 million, a 45% increase
vs direct sales of $8.8 million in Q4 2021. Renewals with existing customers accounted for approximately 50% of direct sales. Direct sales
are included in revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Subscription revenue of $3.8 million, a 26%
increase vs subscription revenue of $3.0 million in Q4 2021. The increase in subscription revenue was driven by an increase in paid subscribers,
which were 262,000 as at December 31, 2022, vs 220,000 as at December 31, 2021.
