Q1 2022 gross profit was particularly strong and effectively equal to Q4 2021 gross profit, despite a strong seasonal difference between the two periods,” </em><strong>commented Adrian Montgomery, CEO of Enthusiast Gaming.</strong><em> “Our flywheel model, centered around communities, content, creators, and experiences, continues to drive increasing value. Our team is well positioned to continue delivering rapid top line growth, while increasing gross profit at a significantly faster rate. Further, to be able to accelerate revenue growth in a quarter that is seasonally the slowest is a strong sign for the balance of the year. We are confident these trends will continue as we focus on meeting profitability objectives in the short term.”</em><br><strong>Q1 2022 Financial Highlights</strong><br><strong>Q1 2022 Operational Highlights</strong><br><strong>Organizational Update</strong><br>The Company would also like to announce that Menashe Kestenbaum has left the Company’s Board of Directors.
