Investment Q&A

Q: Did TSG screw up with their purchase of Sky Betting?

I ask because I wonder if the money would have been better spent partnering with major North American Sport Leagues instead? I can see a future (I hear this is the case with European football) where watching sports becomes more interactive with in-game betting or fantasy sports that is integrated and live as I watch. This could be through an enhanced subscription. How awesome would it be from my television remote to bet how many home runs will be scored in a game, inning, player, etc? With other gaming companies signing exclusive agreements I'm sure such scenarios will be channeled through their gaming products as opposed to The Stars Group.

Q: What were the main factors that drove TSGI's stock price from April to its high in June? And what has now been the main reason for its decline? Has anything fundamentally changed? I see that Poker, its largest revenue source actually declined in comparison to Q3 2017. Is this a big concern, or is most of it's expected growth to come from gaming/betting? Is there hope that when/if most States legalize online gambling that TSGI will earn more much revenue from this?

Q: Your thoughts on GSY recent quarter? This seems to be an extremely well run company...
• 34th consecutive quarter of same store sales growth
• 69th consecutive quarters of positive net income
• Compound annual growth in diluted earnings per share of 37.0% since 2001

Looking at the outlook for 2019 and 2020, revenue growth drops from (26% - 28%) in 2018, to (20% - 22%) in 2019 and (14 - 16%) in 2022 (they do note ROE will increase each year). Is this a concern? or is it just the reality of a company getting older or are they just being conservative. Last years Q3 2017 outlook was (16% ‐ 18% for 2018) (14% ‐ 16% in 2019) and (10% ‐ 12% in 2020) so they certainly beat 2018 expectations and have increased 2019 and 2020 since last years outlook.

Q: https://whalewisdom.com/stock/amygf
it looks like many hedge funds in q2 at least had bought into tsgi. is that a underlying bullish sign even as the company gets slapped around?

Q: Tough to perform better than market when stocks get crushed like this. Are these turns or over-reaction?

Q: Please provide your thoughts on quarterly results vs expectations and do you maintain your position that TSGI should be a very good long term growth hold?

Q: thoughts on what the newest developments in Russia's market will have on TSGI?

Q: alaris just reported could i have your thoughts.

Q: I am writing to following up on some of your recent comments regarding this stock after the release of the Spruce Point report. To what extent are you concerned with accounting irregularities regarding Dol's opaque arrangement with Dollar City? Could Dol be using sales to Dollar City as a way of hiding loses or artificially inflating the books? Are you also concerned with the patent infringement lawsuits, including the one mentioned about the pencils that have been sold since 2002? How do you react to the allegations that the market is saturated and may face increasing competition from Amazon and hence, Dol does not deserve it's lofty valuation? Thank you.

Q: Can you please comment on earnings? I believe I read that they report nov 5. Thanks

Q: GC seems to have had
a solid and better than expected Q3.
Do you see anything negative?

Q: i am curious on your answer on the stars group question on whether to sell now for tax losses, you say even if tsgi had
good earnings it is unlikely it would rise 20%, well why not, it has been beaten down so bad a 5.00 rise does not seem unreasonable. dave
