What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Revenue growth across segments: Q2 FY2022 revenue rose to $0.660M from $0.136M YoY; live events revenue +834% YoY and gym revenue +257% YoY, reflecting reopening and acquisitions .
- Sequential growth momentum: “Fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit sequential topline growth,” with Q2 revenue up 16% vs Q1 .
- Management emphasized brand expansion: “We continue to see strong growth… This can no longer be framed as a trend related to post-pandemic reopening…” (Greg P. Bell) . The company operates at “more than 40 events per year” and is building sponsorship revenue potential .
What Went Wrong
- Losses and cost structure: Net loss widened to $2.557M from $1.269M YoY; G&A rose to $1.854M in Q2 vs $0.675M YoY due to expansion and infrastructure costs .

- Going concern and dilution risks: Management disclosed substantial doubt about going concern status given negative working capital and reliance on equity/debt financing; shares outstanding increased to ~1.382B .

Q&A Highlights
No Q2 FY2022 earnings call transcript was available; therefore Q&A themes and guidance clarifications are not available for this period.
Estimates Context
- No S&P Global/Capital IQ consensus EPS or revenue estimates were available for BTDG for Q2 FY2022 (microcap OTC coverage gap). As a result, comparisons to Wall Street consensus could not be performed [GetEstimates error].
- Given absence of coverage, near-term estimate revisions are unlikely to be a catalyst; investors should monitor company-issued performance updates and financing developments .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Momentum in core operations: Q2 revenue rose to $0.660M (+>385% YoY), with sequential growth of 16%; live events and gyms both contributed materially .
- Profitability remains a challenge: net loss widened to $2.557M driven by higher G&A, interest, and derivative mark-to-market; watch cost discipline and financing terms .
- Financing risk: significant reliance on convertible notes ($3.012M), derivative liabilities, and equity issuance; dilution and going-concern disclosures warrant caution .
- Execution vs guidance: management’s mid-quarter revenue pace ($~673k) was largely met ($660k actual), suggesting reasonable operational forecasting but limited cushion .
- Brand and capacity expansion: continued emphasis on >40 events/year pace and five gyms; sponsorship and PPV monetization remain strategic levers .
- No consensus estimates or call transcript: trade the name primarily off company updates and operational prints rather than Street beats/misses [GetEstimates error] .
- Near-term focus: monitor live event schedule density, average per-event revenue, gym acquisition cadence, and financing updates (note pricing, conversion, and dilution) for stock catalysts .
