The Pointsbet share price tanked 17.4% today with investors seemingly dumping their shares after the release of the company's quarterly results.

Pointsbet reported a net cash outflow of $75.7 million, compared to $60.7 million in the previous quarter. The gross win margin fell 2.7% on the prior corresponding quarter from 10.1% to 7.3%.

However, the company reported a record total net win of $103.4 million, a 34% gain on the prior corresponding period. The company's turnover also lifted 56% to $2,068.8 million.

However, it received $26.9 million in cash receipts in the second quarter, up 13% compared to the first quarter of this financial year. At the end of the quarter, the company had a cash balance of $61 million.

Betmakers also noted the investment made in growth opportunities during H1FY23 is "expected to result in negative earnings in FY23". However, it added:

The company believes that the investment made over the last six months puts it in a stronger position to deliver the next phase of growth, both in revenue and earnings.

Betmakers also announced a board and management restructure. Matt Davey will take on the role of President and executive chairman. Jack Henson has been appointed to the CEO role.
