Young says that management’s soft guidance of +20% revenue in 2021 still remains on track. They expect that the company will have a rough first quarter due to seasonality and the loss of live events revenue, equaling about $2 million. Young writes, “We don’t expect large acquisitions like Omnia in the near term, but EGLX continues to see an opportunity to consolidate a fragmented video game lifestyle audience and will be as acquisitive as it can be.”
