Flutter Entertainment: Q2 2025 Update

NEW YORK, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT; LSE: FLTR) (鈥淔lutter鈥�) the world鈥檚 leading online sports betting and iGaming operator today announces Q2 results, and increased 2025 guidance.

Key financial highlights:

Q2 2025 overview

• Adjusted EBITDA growth of 25% driven by 11% AMP and 16% revenue growth, as our US business continues to scale rapidly. Net income decline of 88% impacted by a non-cash charge related to the movement in the Fox Option valuation³, increased non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles and an increased income taxes expense
• US: growth underpinned by sustained strength in pre-2024 launch states⁴ with FanDuel's lead in iGaming extended; US revenue +17% (sportsbook +11% and iGaming +42%). Adjusted EBITDA of $400m includes the benefit of favorable sports results and strong operating leverage
• International: revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth of 15% and 13% respectively, includes the benefit of Snai and NSX acquisitions. Excellent iGaming revenue growth of 27% driven by UK and Ireland ("UKI"), Southern Europe and Africa ("SEA") and Asia Pacific ("APAC"). Sportsbook revenue growth of 4% reflects a very strong performance in the 2024 European Football Championships ("Euros") in the prior year, and less favorable year-over-year sports results
• Earnings per share decreased by $0.86 reflecting the non-cash movements noted above, with adjusted earnings per share increasing by $0.91 driven by strong adjusted EBITDA growth
• Net cash provided by operating activities grew +11% while free cash flow² was 9% lower mainly due to an increase in capital expenditure from the Snai acquisition and increased technology investment across the Group
  

Updated full year 2025 guidance

2025 outlook⁵ is increased to include (i) the impact of US sports results⁶, (ii) the impact of US gaming tax changes, (iii) renegotiated US market access savings, and (iv) the impact of new state timings.

Group revenue and adjusted EBITDA are now expected to be $17.26bn and $3.295bn at the midpoint representing 23% and 40% year-over-year growth, respectively.

Peter Jackson, CEO, commented:

"I am pleased with the excellent underlying performance we have delivered in the second quarter alongside the good progress made on a number of key strategic initiatives. Revenue grew by 16% year-on-year, as we continue to build scale positions in the most attractive markets through strong organic growth and value creating M&A. Since Q1, Flutter gained additional US index inclusion and accelerated ownership of FanDuel to 100%. We also became the largest operator in Italy with the addition of Snai; established a scale position in Brazil through NSX; and successfully executed two transformative customer migrations. Such varied achievements in one quarter are a great reflection of our teams' focus and ability to execute effectively, leaving us well positioned for the second half of the year."

Shareholder Letter

To our shareholders

I am delighted to report a great set of results and meaningful strategic progress during the quarter. We experienced strong year-over-year growth with revenue 16% ahead, adjusted EBITDA 25% higher and cash from operating activities $36m higher than last year's quarter. Net income, which reduced by 88%, was impacted by increased non-cash charges year-over-year. These included an increase in amortization of acquired intangibles, an increase in income tax expense, and a large swing in the Fox option charge driven by an increase in FanDuel's valuation.

Before I provide an update on the excellent operational performance across our US and International businesses, there are some key areas of strategic progress I would like to share. Following our move to a US primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") in May last year, Flutter has now become a well-established business within US capital markets, demonstrated by our inclusion in two major share indices: CRSP and Russell. Positioning Flutter closer to its primary market in the US was a core objective of our US listing, and the inclusion in these indices demonstrates the clear benefits of this strategy, with the vast majority of our trading volumes now passing through NYSE. We believe we also remain well-placed for admission to other major US indices.

We progressed another key strategic objective in July with the extension of our US market access partnership with Boyd to 2038. This is a great example of our position as an "and" business, able to deploy capital to various uses to drive value creation. In addition to increasing our ownership of FanDuel to 100% at an attractive valuation, this transaction also secures US state market access at much more favorable terms. This supports our conviction that market access efficiency, alongside other cost levers, can help to offset regulatory and tax changes that may affect FanDuel in the future and gives us further confidence in the delivery of our long-term adjusted EBITDA margin targets.

On the US regulatory front, while some state legislative sessions concluded with announced tax increases, I believe our sector is making meaningful progress in encouraging law-makers to adopt a balanced approach. As we have noted in the past, our substantial US scale positions us well to mitigate tax changes and benefit from the market share gains market leaders such as FanDuel have experienced when regulatory changes are introduced. We were, however, disappointed to see the state of Illinois introduce a wager fee on July 1, which we believe unfairly impacts our recreational, lower-handle customers. As previously announced, starting September 1, we will introduce a 50 cent fee on each bet placed in Illinois to help mitigate the significantly higher operating costs in the state. The approach taken by the state of Illinois is very much an outlier when compared with our broad International portfolio, and we believe it risks driving customers to the unregulated market offering limited consumer protections and no state revenue generation. We are confident, as evidenced by the majority approach to date, that law-makers will recognize the importance of adopting a balanced tax strategy which promotes market growth and investment.

The event contracts landscape continues to develop at pace. We have two decades鈥� experience of operating the world's largest betting exchange, the Betfair Exchange, which shares similar characteristics with event contracts, and this will help inform our views. We are closely monitoring regulatory developments, and are assessing the opportunities and potential participation strategies this may present for FanDuel.

In our International markets, the completion of the Snai and NSX transactions in the quarter have created a leadership position in Italy for Flutter and established a scale position in the newly regulated Brazilian market. Both acquisitions are driven by a clear strategic rationale to expand our footprint in attractive, regulated markets while leveraging the Flutter Edge to drive operational and product improvements.

In Italy, we are executing on our integration plans and have increasing confidence in our synergy targets. Snai has been consolidated within our SEA region under a well-formed organizational plan. We finished the quarter with 21.7% overall market share, and 30.2% of the online market⁷ in Italy. Looking ahead, our attention is now focused on bringing Snai customers onto SEA's market leading online platform in the first half of 2026.

Finally, in Brazil, following the combination of NSX and Betfair Brazil, creating Flutter Brazil, our immediate focus has been on resourcing our newest region with the best talent from across Flutter. The Brazilian market remains highly competitive, and we retain a strong conviction that scale operators with the best products will win the largest share of the market. To that extent, our strategy is to elevate our Brazilian proposition, leveraging the Flutter Edge to deliver unit economics we can invest behind and scale meaningfully. We have targeted quick-wins in product and marketing, where immediate improvements have already been made to iGaming content, generosity capabilities and digital marketing effectiveness, while our sports product roadmap will ensure significant improvements are delivered to the customer proposition over the next twelve months.

US update

Turning to our US business, I was really pleased with our performance in Q2. I have previously highlighted that the inherent variability of sports results creates fluctuations around the average in the short-term, but that cumulatively, sports results will align to our expected outcomes over the long-term. Following the last two quarters with very unfavorable sports results in the US, Q2 saw favorable outcomes, with June in particular delivering the highest gross revenue margin month on record of 16.3%. This, alongside very strong iGaming growth, helped deliver total US revenue growth of 17%. We maintained our number one sportsbook position while extending our number one position in iGaming, closing the quarter with sportsbook GGR market share of 41%, a 44% NGR market share and a record 27% iGaming GGR market share⁸.

Our phenomenal iGaming performance is clear evidence of our strategy at work, with Q2 AMP growth of 32% reflecting a consistent product roadmap tailored to casino-first customers, the fastest-growing segment in the market. iGaming customers continued to enjoy the site-wide jackpot functionality introduced in Q1 with over 200k jackpot wins since it was first introduced. We launched our FanDuel Rewards Club to all iGaming customers in April and also added the second installment of our exclusive Huff and Puff series. Leveraging the Flutter Edge via our proprietary iGaming platform, Q2 saw us add a record volume of new titles to the platform. These features resonated with casino-first customers driving increased player volumes and frequency.

In sportsbook, continued product improvements led to an increase in player frequency year-over-year which drove handle 7% higher. AMPs were 4% lower as we lapped our very successful North Carolina launch in the prior year when we drove significant population penetration during the opening months. We were pleased with customer activity during the NBA playoffs, with four separate seven-game series, including the finals, helping to drive better engagement than expected.

From a sportsbook product perspective, we continued to deliver innovative and highly engaging features to our customers during Q2. Harnessing our next generation pricing capability, we added Same Game Parlay+ ("SGP+") and profit boost functionality to our Your Way feature during the NBA playoffs and have been really pleased with engagement.

Our market-leading SGP offering continues to see excellent customer engagement and underpinned a further structural gross revenue margin expansion of 70bps to 13.6% during the quarter. Building on the success of our Parlay Your Bracket offering during March Madness, we added similar features for both NHL and WNBA during Q2 and we also expanded our SGP live offering to tennis for the first time in the quarter helping to deliver a record Wimbledon for FanDuel. On MLB, our Batter Up feature which allows customers to parlay outcomes for the next three batters up was rolled out for all live games, together with an accompanying Quick Bets page launched in July which has been resonating well.

The strong live betting volumes we delivered during the quarter were supported by our product improvements, with live betting over half our handle in Q2 and SGP live its fastest growing component. A seamless live proposition, with optimized in-game settlement and minimized friction was key to our growth, underpinned by our best-in-class pricing and risk management capabilities.

International update

Our International performance continues to be positive, delivering year-over-year revenue growth of 15%, with the acquisitions of Snai and NSX contributing 11 percentage points of the increase. The organic growth of 4% is particularly pleasing when compared against a strong sportsbook performance in the prior year, which included the Euros and more favorable sports results. iGaming has underscored the organic growth in Q2, with exceptional growth achieved in Turkey and continued excellent momentum in SisaI's Italian online business and in India. In addition, we delivered impressive double digit growth in UKI despite implementing slots restrictions in line with the UK Gambling Act Review requirements.

We continue to see good product delivery, driven by our focus on the Flutter Edge, which is helping deliver innovation across our business. In July, we launched Flutter's first bingo network following the successful partnership between Sisal and tombola, which brings the latter's innovative product and deep liquidity pool to Sisal's Italian online bingo customers. The launch of MyCombo, our full Same Game Parlay proposition for Sisal Italy ahead of the new soccer season is a market-first and represents a step-change in product differentiation, made possible by our global scale and deep industry expertise.

We are making very good progress against the $300m operational cost saving program previously set out at our Investor Day in 2024. This quarter, we successfully completed the large-scale migration of Sky Bet, moving over nine million customers onto our shared UKI platform. Overall customer reaction to the new offering has been positive and early performance on iGaming has been very strong. Achieving this major milestone means we can now turn our attention to enhancing the core experience for our Sky Bet customers. This will include introducing a host of new exciting features, including a version of our SuperSub offering alongside new products powered by our next-generation pricing capability.

The PokerStars transformation is another significant part of the program, and we delivered our largest milestone to date in July, when PokerStars customers in Italy were migrated onto the shared SEA platform. The majority of the Pokerstars transformation savings will be recognized towards the end of the three year program in 2027, following the final planned migration off the PokerStars technology stack in the second half of 2026.

The migrations of Sky Bet and PokerStars in Italy mark significant progress in our transformation journey, unlocking efficiencies, helping us simplify and shape our organizational structures for the future, providing further scale benefits and positioning us to deliver enhanced experiences for our customers. The strategic cost transformation program is a great example of underlying cost discipline, and we will continue to strive for further optimization and efficiencies in the business.

Final thoughts and outlook

As I reflect on the progress we've made so far this year, I am particularly proud that our growth is being achieved in a sustainable way. In May, FanDuel launched an innovative safer gambling tool. The AG真人官方-Time Check-In feature uses machine learning to detect risk and generate personalized interventions at the point of play. This industry leading feature builds on work pioneered in our Australian business, and reflects our commitment to leverage data and technology to protect our customers.

Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, our strong performance in the first half of 2025 underlines the strength of Flutter's fundamentals. I feel confident as I consider our positioning heading into the second half of 2025. Our performance in Q2 positions us well to deliver on our strategic objectives and execute strongly throughout the content rich calendars for NFL, NBA and European soccer during the remainder of the year.

Sincerely,

Peter Jackson
Flutter CEO

Detailed financial review

Group

The Group delivered a strong second quarter with AMP¹ and revenue growth of 11% and 16% respectively, driven by continued US momentum and a robust underlying performance within International further enhanced by the addition of the Snai and NSX businesses.

Net income of $37m reduced by $260m from $297m in Q2 2024 after including:

(i) a non-cash loss in the fair value of the Fox Option liability of $81m (Q2 2024: $91m gain)

(ii) a non-cash charge for the amortization of acquired intangibles of $209m (Q2 2024: $147m) with the Snai and NSX acquisitions and the cost transformation programs in PokerStars and Sky Bet driving a year-over-year increase

(iii) an income tax charge of $168m (Q2 2024: $53m), with the year-over-year increase primarily driven by the utilization of historic US deferred tax assets in Q2 2024 and an income tax expense related to the Betfair Brazil business reorganization in Q2 2025

(iv) restructuring, integration and transaction costs of $89m (Q2 2024: $38m) with the the year-over-year increase primarily driven by costs incurred in relation to the Snai and NSX acquisitions and subsequent integrations, and the cost transformation programs in PokerStars and Sky Bet

Adjusted EBITDA of $919m grew 25% with adjusted EBITDA margin² 150bps higher principally attributable to the expansion of our US business.

Earnings per share decreased by $0.86 to $0.59 inclusive of the impacts to net income described above, and partially offset by an $80m reduction in redeemable non-controllable interest charge (increasing earnings per share by $0.45) driven by a temporary reduction in the Maxbet redemption value.

Adjusted earnings per share increased by $0.91 to $2.95 driven by the strong adjusted EBITDA growth and the reduction in redeemable non-controlling interest charge.

The Group鈥檚 net cash provided by operating activities grew 11% underpinned by the second quarter adjusted EBITDA growth outlined above, partly offset by increased income tax payments. Free cash flow was 9% lower due to an increase in capital expenditure from the Snai acquisition, and technology investment across the Group which continues to pay dividends as we harness the Flutter Edge and continue to innovate at pace.

US

US Q2 AMPs of 3.5m grew 2% year-over-year as we lapped the benefit of the North Carolina launch in March during the prior year. (Pre-2024 state AMPs +5%, pre-2022 state AMPs +7%). Revenue grew 17% including sportsbook revenue growth of 11% and iGaming revenue growth of 42%.

Sportsbook revenue growth was driven by an increase in player frequency together with improved structural revenue margin as handle grew 7%, with live betting representing over half of handle during the quarter, and net revenue margin increasing by 40 basis points year-over-year to 10.4%.

The increase in net revenue margin included:

• Structural revenue margin expansion of 70bps to 13.6% enabled by our market-leading pricing and risk management capabilities delivering continued increased penetration of parlay bets
• An adverse sports results impact year-over-year of 30 basis points with the gross revenue impact of sports results in Q2 2025 being less favorable than the prior year (Q2 2025: 80bps favorable, Q2 2024: 110bps favorable). This converted to a small revenue benefit year over year (Q2 2025: $90m, Q2 2024: $80m)
• Promotional spend of 4% which was broadly in-line with the prior year
  

iGaming revenue grew 42% underpinned by AMP growth of 32% and an increase in player frequency year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA was $400m (Q2 2024 $260m) with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.3%, up 530bps year-over-year supported by continued strong operating leverage across the business.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 54.0%. Cost of sales in both the current and prior year included the benefit from positive sports results. The year-over-year reduction of 90bps was primarily due to the benefit of payment processing cost initiatives deployed in H2 2024, partly offset by increased taxes in Illinois year-over-year.

Sales and marketing expenses were 13% lower, driven by heightened investment in the North Carolina launch in the prior year and a greater proportion of expenditure for 2025 expected to be incurred during H2 than in the prior year. The 440bps reduction year-over-year as a percentage of revenue to 12.2% also reflected continued good operating leverage in pre-2024 states. Technology, research and development costs were $13m higher year-over-year, primarily as a result of the scaling of data storage and processing costs. General and administrative costs were $16m higher as a result of finance and legal costs, together with the impact of increased headcount in key support functions.

International

International revenue was 15% higher year-over year (up 12% on a constant currency¹⁰ basis, "cc") with 15% AMP growth. The inclusion of the Snai and NSX acquisitions contributed 11 percentage points of the year-over-year revenue growth.

Sportsbook revenue was 4% higher year-over-year (+2% cc), with the inclusion of Snai and NSX acquisitions contributing 9 percentage points of the year-over-year growth. Sportsbook handle grew 7% year-over-year, with Snai and NSX contributing 9 percentage points of growth. This offset the impact of a strong 2024 comparative period containing the Euros, which accounted for 6% of handle in Q2 2024.

Net revenue margin decreased by 30 basis points year-over-year to 13.1%:

• Structural revenue margin of 16.3% was broadly flat year-over-year, as growth driven by our superior pricing capabilities was offset by the impact of faster growth in regions with lower structural revenue margins including SEA, Brazil and CEE
• An adverse sports results impact year-over-year of 90 basis points with sports results in Q2 2025 less favorable than the prior year period (Q2 2025: 30bps favorable, Q2 2024 120bps favorable)
• A year-over-year reduction in promotional spend of 60 basis points to 3.6% of handle
  

iGaming revenue was 27% higher year-over-year (+23% cc), with Snai and NSX contributing 13 percentage points of growth. On an organic basis, SEA growth of 24% comprised Sisal Italy online growth of 36% and Turkey growth of 87%. UKI grew 17% (+10% cc) year-over-year, APAC experienced growth of 24% (+27% cc) in India and CEE grew 13% (+10% cc), driven by performance in Georgia.

Revenue performance across our International regions year-over-year was as follows:

• UKI revenue grew 1% (-5% cc) with sportsbook revenue down 12% (-17% cc) driven by a 3% reduction in handle (-8% cc) impacted by the Euros which accounted for 10% of overall handle in the prior year, combined with an adverse 190bps swing in sports results. iGaming growth of 17% (+10% cc) was delivered through continued product enhancements and generosity optimization which offset the impact of the Gambling Act Review-led player restrictions implemented during the quarter
• SEA revenue grew 68% (+63% cc) with the inclusion of Snai contributing 52 percentage points of the growth. Sportsbook revenue was up 64% (+57% cc) including Snai which contributed 61 percentage points of the growth. Organic sportsbook revenue growth was impacted by the Euros which accounted for 8% of handle in Q2 2024, and an adverse swing in sports results of 100bps which offset continued structural gross revenue margin expansion. iGaming revenue grew 70% (+67% cc) with Snai contributing 46 percentage points of growth. SEA Italian revenue¹¹ grew 67%, with Snai contributing 59 percentage points of growth (sportsbook was up 65% with Snai contributing 62 percentage points of growth and iGaming was up 67% with Snai contributing 55 percentage points of growth). Turkey growth was also strong with revenue growing 87% (+124% cc). This growth was attributable to strong AMP growth, improved online penetration and an expansion in the products offered within the market
• APAC revenue grew 4% (+7% cc) with sportsbook growth in Australia of 3% (+6% cc) where a handle reduction of 6% (-3% in cc) was more than offset by the benefits of optimized generosity and favorable sports results year-over-year. iGaming growth in India of 24% (+27% cc) was driven by 15% growth in AMPs and improved monetization through pricing and generosity optimizations
• CEE revenue grew by 8% (+5% cc) with iGaming growth of 13% (+10% cc). This was largely driven by iGaming revenue growth of 26% year-over-year in Georgia, which offset a sportsbook revenue reduction of 15% (-19% cc) primarily attributable to the Euros which accounted for 14% of handle in 2024
• Brazil revenue grew by 144% (+175% cc), benefiting from the acquisition of NSX which contributed 185 percentage points of growth. Betfair Brazil revenue declined year-over-year driven by adverse sports results in the quarter and the continuing impact of the customer re-registration friction post regulation.
• Other regions revenue was 7% lower (-9% cc) due to the impact of some smaller market exits and regulatory change

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 13% year-over-year (+10% cc) with the acquisition of Snai and NSX contributing 7 percentage points of growth year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin, before including Snai and NSX, expanded by 70 basis points to 25.9%. Inclusive of Snai and NSX, adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 24.7%, a 40 basis point reduction, reflective of our investment phase in Brazil.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased by 320 basis points to 46.1%, with the acquisition of Snai and NSX contributing 170 basis points of the year-over-year increase. The remaining 150 basis point organic increase was due to increased taxes in CEE and in Betfair Brazil, along with a continued shift in revenue mix in favor of iGaming which generally incurs higher third party costs than sportsbook.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $18m or 5% year-over-year with the acquisition of Snai and NSX contributing $37m or 10 percentage points of the increase. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing reduced by 150 basis points to 15.7%, with savings from Euros-related marketing spend in Q2 2024 more than offsetting increased investment in Italy to support conversion of our retail customer base to online, and our growth plans in Turkey and Brazil.

Technology, research and development costs were $1m or 1% higher year-over-year with the acquisition of Snai and NSX contributing $5m or 5 percentage points of the increase. General and administrative costs were $15m or 7% higher with the inclusion of Snai and NSX contributing $14m or 7 percentage points of the increase. Operating leverage has been achieved across both technology, research and development costs, and general and administrative costs, with improvements of 60bps to each, bringing them to 4.5% and 9.1% of revenue for the quarter, respectively.

Unallocated corporate overhead⁹ increased by $27m or 60% year-over-year. This was driven by a $14m charge related to foreign exchange movements, primarily due to a non-cash revaluation of related monetary items on the Group balance sheet. The remaining increase is broadly split across inflationary pay increases, investment in Flutter Edge initiatives primarily Flutter Studios and shared technology.

Capital structure

Available cash increased $154m quarter-on-quarter, closing at approximately $1.7bn. The $3,216m increase in total debt to $9,952m at June 30, 2025 from $6,736m at December 31, 2024 reflects the financing for the Snai and NSX acquisitions. Net debt was $8,522m at the end of Q2 2025, with a leverage ratio² of 3.2x at June 30, 2025 (2.2x at December 31, 2024). The leverage ratio² was 3.0x based on the last 12 months adjusted EBITDA including Snai.

The purchase of Boyd's 5% interest in FanDuel for $1.76bn¹² was completed on July 31, 2025 and financed by extending the existing Term Loan B and Euro, Sterling and Dollar Senior Notes at attractive terms. We therefore expect our leverage to increase in the near term but then reduce rapidly given the highly visible and profitable growth opportunities that exist across the Group. We remain committed to our medium-term leverage ratio target of 2.0-2.5x.

The share repurchase program, continued in Q2 2025 with 1.25 million shares repurchased in the quarter for a consideration of $300m excluding excise duties ($296m was paid for the program in the quarter). We are highly disciplined allocators of capital and we expect to return up to $1bn of cash to shareholders through the program during 2025, and up to $5bn of cash to shareholders over a three to four year period, whilst also maintaining the flexibility to invest significant amounts of capital both organically and inorganically. The Boyd deal is a great example of both this flexible approach and the value we believe we can create.

Guidance

Full year 2025 guidance is now increased for the following adjustments (i) the impact of US sports results, (ii) the impact of US tax changes, (iii) renegotiated US market access savings, and (iv) the impact of new state timings.

The changes to the midpoints of our previous guidance are summarized in the table below:

Our updated outlook for 2025 now includes the following midpoints:

Group: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $17.26bn and $3.295bn representing 23% and 40% year-over-year growth, respectively.

US: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $7.58bn and $1.245bn, representing year-over-year growth of 31% and 146%, respectively. We expect revenue of approximately $2.6bn and approximately $580m of adjusted EBITDA to arise in Q4.

This comprises increased guidance for both existing and new states as follows:

Existing states

• Revenue of $7.61bn and adjusted EBITDA of $1.315bn, with year-over-year growth of 31% and 159%, respectively
• Increased from previous guidance primarily due to the benefit of May and June sports results of $140m revenue, $100m adjusted EBITDA
• H2 2025 gaming tax costs include the previously announced changes in Illinois, New Jersey and Louisiana net of anticipated direct mitigation
  • Illinois transaction fee: net cost of $5m with gross cost of $35m mitigated by $30m in other revenue from the proposed FanDuel transaction fee
  • New Jersey and Louisiana: net cost of $35m with gross cost of $45m and approximately 20% mitigation through locally optimized promotional and marketing spend
  • Maryland gross cost of $10m was already included within our guidance set out in May and therefore does not represent a change to that previous guidance
• The benefit of Boyd market access savings of $35m are therefore expected to almost entirely mitigate the net impact of incremental gaming tax costs of $40m above in H2
  

New states

• Now expect negative revenue of $30m and adjusted EBITDA cost of $70m due to slightly later launch timings versus previous expectations (previous guidance -$40m revenue and -$90m adjusted EBITDA)
  
  

International: Foreign currency changes since our previous guidance are not material and therefore revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $9.68bn and $2.30bn is re-affirmed, representing year-over-year growth of 17% and 11% respectively.

Unallocated corporate overhead: cost guidance of $250m is unchanged.

Other items: also remain unchanged, with the exception of Interest expense, which now includes the financing costs associated with the Boyd transaction.

Guidance is provided (i) on the basis that sports results are in line with our expected margin for the remainder of the year, (ii) at stated foreign exchange rates¹³ and (iii) on the basis of a consistent regulatory and tax framework except where otherwise stated.

A reconciliation of our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such a reconciliation to be prepared of items that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Notes

Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures

This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Flutter Shareholders, Adjusted Earnings Per Share (鈥淎djusted EPS鈥�), leverage ratio, leverage ratio including Snai, Net Debt, Free Cash Flow, and constant currency which are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (鈥淕AAP鈥�). These non-GAAP measures are presented solely as supplemental disclosures to reported GAAP measures because we believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance, similar to measures reported by its publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by analysts, lenders, financial institutional and investors as measures of performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Flutter Shareholders, Adjusted EPS, leverage ratio, Net Debt, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Depreciation are not intended to be substitutes for any GAAP financial measures, and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

Constant currency reflects certain operating results on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refer to the exchange rates used to translate our operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar, into U.S. Dollars. Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results. In general, our financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. Dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. Dollar. References to operating results on a constant-currency basis mean operating results without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We believe the disclosure of constant-currency results is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our results by increasing the transparency of our underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA by translating prior-period revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, using the average exchange rates from the current period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect in the prior period.

Last twelve months ("LTM") net income is defined on a Group basis as net income for the year ended December 31, 2024, minus net income for six months ended June 30, 2024 and plus net income for six months ended June 30, 2025.

LTM net income including Snai is defined on a Group basis as LTM net income plus Snai's net income for the ten months ended April 30, 2025 prior to the completion of acquisition. Snai鈥檚 historical condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (鈥淚FRS鈥�). We have made adjustments to conform Snai鈥檚 financial information prepared under IFRS to U.S. GAAP.

LTM adjusted net income including Snai is defined on a Group basis as LTM adjusted net income, after adjusting for the following:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined on a Group basis as net income (loss) before income taxes; other income, net; interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization; transaction fees and associated costs; restructuring and integration costs; impairment of PPE and intangible assets and share based compensation expense.

LTM adjusted EBITDA including Snai is defined on a Group basis as LTM adjusted net income including Snai before income taxes; other expense, net; interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; transaction fees and associated costs; and restructuring and integration costs.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, respectively.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Flutter Shareholders is defined as net income (loss) as adjusted for after-tax effects of transaction fees and associated costs; restructuring and integration costs; gaming taxes dispute, amortization of acquired intangibles, accelerated amortization, loss (gain) on settlement of long-term debt; impairment of PPE and intangible assets; financing related fees not eligible for capitalization; gain from disposal of businesses, fair value (gain)/loss on derivative instruments, fair value (gain)/loss on contingent consideration, fair value (gain)/loss on Fox Option Liability and fair value (gain)/loss on investment, and share-based compensation.

Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to Flutter shareholders by the number of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding in the period.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted net income attributable to Flutter shareholders and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures and should not be viewed as measures of overall operating performance, indicators of our performance, considered in isolation, or construed as alternatives to operating profit (loss), net income (loss) measures or earnings per share, or as alternatives to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as measures of liquidity, or as alternatives to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP.

Management has historically used these measures when evaluating operating performance because we believe that they provide additional perspective on the financial performance of our core business.

Adjusted EBITDA has further limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

Net debt is defined as total debt, excluding premiums, discounts, and deferred financing expense, and the effect of foreign exchange that is economically hedged as a result of our cross-currency interest rate swaps reflecting the net cash outflow on maturity less cash and cash equivalents.

Leverage ratio is defined as net debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our financial leverage. We present net debt to Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is more representative of our financial position as it is reflective of our ability to cover our net debt obligations with results from our core operations, and is an indicator of our ability to obtain additional capital resources for our future cash needs. We believe net debt is a meaningful financial measure that may assist investors in understanding our financial condition and recognizing underlying trends in our capital structure. The Leverage Ratio is not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP financial ratios. Other companies may calculate leverage ratios differently.

Leverage ratio including Snai is defined as net debt divided by LTM adjusted EBITDA including Snai.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less payments for property and equipment, intangible assets and capitalized software. We believe that excluding these items from free cash flow better portrays our ability to generate cash, as such items are not indicative of our operating performance for the period. This non-GAAP measure may be useful to investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental measure of our cash performance, but should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to operating cash flows presented in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Our calculation of Free Cash Flow may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Adjusted depreciation is defined as depreciation and amortization excluding amortization of acquired intangibles.
