To our shareholders
I am delighted to present the first of our quarterly shareholder letters, in which I will reflect on Flutter’s long term growth opportunity and our strategic progress, alongside the most recent quarter’s performance.
Introduction
- It is now just over 15 months since Flutter listed on the New York Stock Exchange and almost a year since our US primary listing became effective, making it a suitable time to reflect on Flutter’s differentiated positioning and the significant global opportunity we see ahead. My leadership team and I set out Flutter’s compelling growth trajectory at our Investor Day in September 2024, and I remain very excited about that opportunity. We believe that:
- We have a compelling strategy, a strong track record of success, and importantly we are focused on growing our business sustainably. Our commitment to Responsible Gaming is central to our long term plan
- Flutter has access to a significant global market and runway of growth with the regulated sports betting and iGaming market expected to be worth c.$368bn by 20301
- Our diversified portfolio of local hero brands are winning in their respective markets with leading positions and local scale advantages
- The Flutter Edge is our key sustainable competitive advantage and global differentiator which enables our local brands to both access and contribute to leading global capabilities across product, technology, expertise and scale
- This all combines to drive our value creation model which we believe positions us as an “and” business, meaning we have the ability to invest across multiple opportunities at once. We can invest organically behind strong returns, and execute value creative M&A, and deliver returns to shareholders
We believe these attributes set Flutter apart and will continue to power our growth and value creation.
I continue to be really pleased with how the scaling of our US business is driving a step change in the earnings profile of the Group. Our international business is also demonstrating the benefits of scale and diversification, with particularly strong performances in SEA and India. These factors combined to drive year-over-year net income and adjusted EBITDA2 growth of 289% and 20% respectively in the quarter.
As the global economic outlook has shifted, in particular in the US, focus has been on the potential impact on online sports betting and iGaming. Our business is resilient and we believe Flutter’s historical performance is instructive. For example, during previous periods of consumer pressure in our International markets, we saw no discernible impact on our businesses, and we have conviction that online sports-betting and iGaming have strong defensive characteristics over the long-term.
Our teams are focused on execution and delivering results on a daily basis, but it is important to remember that we run the business for the long-term, often making decisions that impact short-term profitability, for the greater benefit of longer-term profitability. The nature of sports results will also influence our quarterly results, as we have seen in our most recent quarters, but over time these are transient and do not compromise our compelling growth model and long term value creation opportunity.
Our position as an “and” business is clear to see as we completed another major milestone in the expansion of our portfolio in Italy with the acquisition of Snai, and the imminent acquisition of NSX in Brazil, and the continuation of our share buyback program. With strong organic performance and multiple levers to drive value creation, we remain very confident in our long-term outlook and targets.
US update
US leadership maintained
We are continuing to win in the US, powered by our world-class customer proposition. AMPs3 grew by 11% to more than 4.3m. This performance underpinned our clear leadership position with sports betting and iGaming gross gaming revenue market shares of 43% and 27% respectively in the quarter and a 48% net gaming revenue (NGR) sportsbook share4.
US sportsbook innovation continues
Our proprietary pricing capability, and always-on approach to innovation driven by the Flutter Edge, enables delivery of our market-leading sportsbook product for our US customers. We believe the richness of the FanDuel product offering is unmatched and this product advantage continues to drive our expected structural hold progression, reaching 14.1% in the quarter.
We are really excited about our next-generation pricing capability. Through a highly intuitive customer interface, enabled by new revolutionary pricing technology, customers will be able to choose from an almost infinite number of outcomes across the most relevant and immersive betting markets. Your Way is the first surfacing of this pricing capability to customers, and the results to date have been encouraging. The opportunities that this unlocks are unique and we believe create an amazing platform for long-term innovation across both our US and International markets.
Other new and innovative features launched during the quarter included Parlay Your Bracket for March Madness college basketball, helping drive an increase in Same Game Parlay penetration in the quarter. We also launched Bet back tokens, a first to market generosity mechanic, which allow customers to turn their losing bet into a bonus bet. More than a quarter of all March Madness customers engaged with the token.
Super Bowl LIX delivered record-breaking volumes, customer engagement and sports outcomes for FanDuel. Overall however, US sports results were customer friendly in the first quarter driven primarily by an unprecedented number of winning favorites during March Madness. As I have commented before, the nature of sports results means that over time, outcomes will naturally fluctuate around the average and it is these ups and downs that make sports so exciting and drives engagement. Precedent in our global markets shows that sport results can be seasonal but normalize in the long-term. For example, in the UKI, soccer results were very customer friendly in Q4 2021, Q4 2022 and again in Q4 2023 before reverting to operator friendly outcomes in Q4 2024 with a cumulative favorable impact from Q4 2021 to date of 15bps. Crucially we remain extremely confident in our sportsbook pricing and our ability to price each market based on its expected outcome. This means that over time, sports results, and therefore our gross revenue margins, will align to expected outcomes.
US iGaming strategy a clear success
Our focus on direct casino customers continues to deliver fantastic growth. Although only launched in March, our site-wide jackpots have already seen strong activity with over 35% of FanDuel customers engaging with the jackpot feature and more than 500 daily jackpot winners. We also rolled out more exclusive content to our players, with the first of our quarterly installments of the iconic Huff ‘n Puff family of games quickly becoming our #1 game across all states in the first 30 days. All these factors combined to grow our iGaming player base to 1m AMPs for the first time. The network effect of this large, engaged player base is significant, with refer-a-friend being our number one source of new customer acquisition, demonstrating the benefits of our scale and the strength of the FanDuel iGaming proposition.
Growth in pre-2024 US states underpins outlook
The combination of new customer acquisition and revenue margin expansion means growth in our more mature US states remains strong with online revenue growth of 9% in pre-2024 states5, even after adverse March Madness outcomes.
Handle growth in pre-2024 states was 5%. This was in-line with expectations, but lower than previous quarters, reflecting the continued shift to higher-revenue margin, but lower-handle parlay and Same Game Parlay products. Basketball handle growth was lower than anticipated, offset by growth in other sports. We believe this handle softness is specific to the basketball market, and we have a number of commercial and product initiatives that will specifically enhance basketball engagement next season. As we move into the summer season handle trends remain in line with expectations, with encouraging MLB trends.
It is worth remembering that handle growth is just one driver of our long-term revenue growth alongside product-driven structural gross revenue margin expansion, new customer acquisition, higher retention, wallet-share gains, and promotional spend efficiencies which all work to drive the most important output: our net revenue growth, and all before the benefit of any new state launches.
Best positioned to navigate US regulatory opportunities and challenges
The US regulatory landscape continues to evolve at an exciting pace, and our experienced government affairs teams continue to work on expanding the map in the US. We have seen some momentum during 2025, and we remain confident in both our 2030 expectations for population coverage, and the cadence of roll outs to 2027.
We are also closely monitoring the developments around futures markets and the potential direct and indirect opportunities for FanDuel to explore. We already operate what we believe is the world’s largest betting exchange, the Betfair Exchange, and we have vast experience in this space. Finally, we continue to impress on state law makers that tax rates must recognize the importance in fostering continued investment and enabling regulated markets to continue to grow at strong rates. We remain optimistic that states will take these factors into account as they evaluate taxation rates.
International update
International growth underpinned by Italy, as we add further scale with Snai
Outside of the US, performance across our newly formed International division continues to be positive, with year-over-year revenue growth of 1% (3% in constant currency6). We are benefiting from our scale and geographic and product diversification with good growth in our Southern Europe & Africa (SEA) region in particular.
We were delighted to welcome Snai into the Group last week. Snai’s large omnichannel presence adds further scale in Italy, enabling the SEA team to capitalize on the growth opportunity in Europe’s largest regulated market. The acquisition was completed on April 30th and an extensive integration program is already underway. This will enable us to rapidly realize both the operational and financial benefits of the combination, share Flutter Edge capabilities, and deliver synergies in-line with our previous guidance.
I have previously referenced the opportunity to further expand our SEA footprint, and we recently submitted an offer through the tender process for the Italian Lotto with a majority position in a consortium of industry leaders. We believe the merits of this deal are compelling, in a market where we have demonstrated our extensive lottery experience through the success of our SuperEnalotto proposition and the key role lottery plays supporting our Italian leadership position. We anticipate the tender outcome will be announced within the next 3 months, and if successful, would further add to our scale position in SEA.
Performance within SEA has been very impressive driven by Sisal which achieved record high Italian quarterly market share of 15.4%7. The Sisal business is really benefitting from a combination of local expertise and execution, combined with the benefits of the Flutter Edge and being part of the larger Group. We are also seeing very strong growth in Turkey within SEA, where we have been able to expand our product portfolio online and benefit from very strong AMP growth.
Continue to leverage Flutter Edge capabilities in UKI & Australia
In UKI, year-over-year revenue growth of 2% moderated from previous quarters, in part due to the very operator friendly results in the corresponding 2024 quarter. Sportsbook handle was lower as a function of the increased mix of higher-revenue margin, lower-handle Same Game Parlay products, and softer volumes in the horse racing market outside of major festivals, including Cheltenham. UKI structural gross revenue margin continues to expand. This is driven by ongoing investment in our sportsbook product, including Super Sub, to offer even more markets, helping drive increased parlay penetration. The migration of our Sky Bet customers to our in-house platform is progressing well with over 25% of customers (over two million accounts) already migrated, with expected completion in Q2. The new platform will enable Sky Bet to fully access the benefits of the Flutter Edge and provide customers with an even better user experience.
The strength of our Asia Pacific (APAC) iGaming business, in India, is once again visible now that the tax changes in Q4 2023 have been lapped, delivering strong year-over-year iGaming revenue growth of 45% through continued disciplined customer and product investment. Within APAC sports, in Australia, we continue to face into the racing industry’s structural challenges. We have been able to partly offset our adverse racing handle trends by expanding our sports structural gross win margin through ongoing product-led improvements such as “The Feed” feature, which helped drive parlay penetration, alongside improved customer generosity sophistication.
M&A in Brazil remains on track as we augment an impressive portfolio of local hero brands
We have received regulatory clearance and expect to complete the acquisition of NSX during May, forming a new Flutter Brazil business, and putting us in an enhanced competitive position in a fast growing, newly regulated market. Betnacional brings a strong local management team, localized proprietary technology and a local hero brand which, alongside our existing Betfair Brazil business and Flutter Edge capabilities, will position us for success in this very exciting market.
Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), including Adjarabet and MaxBet, grew revenue by 15% year-over-year. In Georgia and Armenia we successfully launched new in-house games, while in Serbia, we deployed a new retail loyalty program which we believe will be critical in delivering on our omnichannel aspirations in the market.
Growing sustainably through our Positive Impact Plan
We recently published our second annual Sustainability Report, demonstrating how responsible gaming is central to our strategy. FanDuel’s My Spend tool, a responsible gaming dashboard designed to help customers manage their budgets, is a great example of how our responsible gaming strategy embeds sustainability into the products we offer our customers. During the 2024-2025 NFL Season, nearly half of FanDuel’s customers reviewed their play using My Spend. I’m proud of how our brands continue to lead the way in their local markets, and last year alone we invested $139 million to promote responsible gaming across our global operations, helping lead industry progress in this area.
Final thoughts
I am pleased with our first quarter performance, and remain extremely confident in the long-term fundamentals of our business. The global regulated market opportunity is significant and growing, and Flutter is uniquely positioned to win. I am excited by the opportunity for Flutter, and I look forward to continuing to execute on our key growth drivers over the remainder of 2025 and beyond.
Sincerely,

Peter Jackson
Flutter CEO
Q1 2025 financial highlights from our CFO
As Peter outlined, we believe we have the key components necessary to deliver long-term value creation. It is almost a year since I became Flutter CFO and over that time I have been really satisfied with our progress. We delivered underlying growth in Q1 in each component of our compelling financial growth story:
- Group revenue growth of 8%, underpinned by our scale and diversification
- Strong Group net income and adjusted EBITDA2 growth of 289% and 20%, respectively
- Capital optionality to invest organically, invest in M&A and return capital to our shareholders
Turning back to the quarter, we are reporting our Q1 financial performance using our new segmentation for the first time. We now report two segments, US and International, with unallocated corporate overhead8 separately disclosed. We will continue to provide context and detail regarding the key drivers of performance in International by region. This reflects how our operations are managed and resources are allocated following the reorganization of the business on January 1, 2025. We also believe this simplified structure will help external audiences understand the Flutter growth story more easily.
In the US, strong revenue growth year-over-year of 18% included sportsbook growth of 15%, despite the adverse March Madness outcomes, and very strong iGaming growth of 32%. Adjusted EBITDA was $161m, more than five times higher than the prior year as our business delivered significant operating leverage. Sales and marketing in particular saw good operating leverage of 750bps year-over-year due to the combination of our maturing state profile, and the impact of heightened North Carolina investment in the prior year. Our performance in the quarter also included partial mitigation of the increased taxes in Illinois introduced on July 1, 2024 in line with our previous guidance.
In International, revenue of $2bn and adjusted EBITDA of $518m for the quarter were +3% and +2%, respectively, versus the prior year on a constant currency6 basis.
This reflected a strong performance in our SEA and CEE regions combined with excellent iGaming growth in UKI and in APAC. Across the segment, sports results were marginally adverse year-over-year, comprising favorable results year-over-year in SEA and UKI, and unfavorable results in APAC.
Regional revenue growth across our International segment included the following key moving parts:
- SEA revenue was 14% higher year-over-year driven by SEA AMP growth of 25% to 1.8m in the quarter. Sportsbook revenue growth of 27% benefitted from expanded structural gross margin and favorable sports results, with iGaming up 8%
- APAC revenue was 13% lower year-over-year (8% on a constant currency basis) which includes excellent iGaming growth in India of 45% offset by 18% lower sportsbook revenues in Australia, where unfavorable sports results compounded the already highlighted horse racing market softness
- APAC revenue was 13% lower year-over-year (8% on a constant currency basis) which includes excellent iGaming growth in India of 45% offset by 18% lower sportsbook revenues in Australia, where unfavorable sports results compounded the already highlighted horse racing market softness
- CEE revenue grew 15%, Brazil revenue was 44% lower (36% on a constant currency basis) reflecting the newly regulated market registration challenges, while revenue in our Other regions was 12% lower driven by the impact of market exits and regulatory change
We operate with high levels of discipline, giving us the agility to respond to changing trends in our business. The business has many cost levers, and we set out a $300m cost saving program at our Investor Day, demonstrating our focus on driving operational and cost efficiency. We are making good progress – the migration of our Sky Bet customers to our in-house platform is on track to complete by the end of Q2, and the migration of PokerStars Italian customers onto Sisal technology is expected to be completed in Q3, a key milestone for the overall PokerStars transformation.
We are also ensuring we continue to make the right investments in the right areas. Flutter Edge investment within unallocated corporate overhead increased by $6m year-over-year, to drive product innovation and optimize the efficiency of the services we provide across the Group. Unallocated corporate costs increased by 75% year-over-year primarily due to the Flutter Edge investments and an $18m credit in the prior year relating to the settlement of historic litigation.
Overall Group net income grew 289%, while adjusted EBITDA grew 20%. Both measures include the US driven earnings transformation that Peter has already described, while net income also includes the impact of the fair value changes on the Fox Option liability, which swung from a loss in the prior year to a gain in the current year. Earnings per share increased to $1.57 from a loss of $1.10 with our adjusted earnings per share up 51%2 .
From a cashflow perspective, net cash from operating activities reduced by 44% and free cash flow reduced by 52% year-over-year. Performance was impacted by a movement in player deposit liabilities which is included in our net cashflow from operating activities. As the final day of Q1 was a weekday this year, compared to the prior year when it fell during a weekend, player deposit liabilities were $211m lower reflecting the smaller cash balances sitting in customer wallets. While this means that cashflow in Q1 was lower year-over-year, we remain confident in the cashflow trajectory of the business over the long-term horizon as set out at our investor day.
Available cash remained unchanged quarter-on-quarter at approximately $1.5bn. The $88m increase in total debt to $6,824m at March 31, 2025 from $6,736m at December 31, 2024 was a function of prevailing foreign exchange rates on our Euro and Sterling denominated debt. Net debt2 was $5,329m at the end of Q1 2025, with a leverage ratio2 of 2.2x, based on the last 12 months adjusted EBITDA (2.2x at December 31, 2024). As per our announcement on April 30, 2025, the acquisition of Snai was completed using existing debt facilities at attractive terms. We therefore expect our leverage to increase in the near term, but then reduce rapidly given the highly visible 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, which commenced in November 2024 with up to $5bn expected to be returned to shareholders over the coming years, continued into 2025 with 891 thousand shares repurchased in the quarter for $230m (of which $226m was paid in the quarter). We continue to expect to return up to approximately $1bn of cash to shareholders via the program during 2025.
Financial outlook
Underlying trends overall have been in line with expectations and our 2025 outlook9 is therefore only updated to reflect (i) the impact since our Q4 earnings of US sports results10 and foreign currency movements11, and (ii) the anticipated contributions from Snai, completed on April 30, 2025, and NSX, expected to complete during May12. Together these acquisitions are expected to add $1.07bn in revenue and $120m in adjusted EBITDA to the Group’s 2025 results.

Our updated outlook for 2025 now includes the following midpoints:
Group: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $17.08bn and $3.18bn representing 22% and 35% year-over-year growth, respectively (14% and 30% before including the benefit of Snai and NSX)
US: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $7.40bn and $1.13bn, representing year-over-year growth of 28% and 123%, respectively, and comprising:
- Existing state revenue of $7.44bn and adjusted EBITDA of $1.22bn. This represents year-over-year growth of 28% and 141%, respectively, which on a normalized basis remains unchanged from our investor day guidance of 22.5% revenue growth and 5.4 percentage points of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion
- New state and territory launches with negative revenue of $40m and adjusted EBITDA cost of $90m based on a Q4 launch for Missouri and an early 2026 launch for Alberta, Canada (unchanged since Q4 earnings)
International: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $9.68bn and $2.30bn representing year-over-year growth of 17% and 11%, respectively.
Unallocated corporate overhead: cost increased to $250m to include impact of foreign currency headwinds of $20m since previous guidance was issued.
Other items: are also updated to reflect the impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency. Details of the changes to other items, together with our various guidance ranges are set out in the table below.

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.
To conclude, like Peter, I am encouraged by the strong positioning of the business and look forward to continuing to deliver on this exciting growth opportunity ahead of us.
Sincerely,

Rob Coldrake

Notes
- Management estimate of global total addressable market as of 25 September 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow, net debt, leverage ratio, constant currency, adjusted net income attributable to Flutter shareholders and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures” and “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” sections of this document for definitions of these measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Due to rounding, these numbers may not add up precisely to the totals provided.
- Average Monthly Players (“AMPs”) is defined as the average over the applicable reporting period of the total number of players who have placed and/or wagered a stake and/or contributed to rake or tournament fees during the month. This measure does not include individuals who have only used new player or player retention incentives, and this measure is for online players only and excludes retail player activity. In circumstances where a player uses multiple product categories within one brand, we are generally able to identify that it is the same player who is using multiple product categories and therefore count this player as only one AMP at the Group level while also counting this player as one AMP for each separate product category that the player is using. As a result, the sum of the AMPs presented at the product category level is greater than the total AMPs presented at the Group level. See Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Operational Metrics” of Flutter’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025 for additional information regarding how we calculate AMPs data, including a discussion regarding duplication of players that exists in such data.
- US market position based on available market share data for states in which FanDuel is active. Online sportsbook market share is the gross gaming revenue (GGR) and net gaming revenue (NGR) market share of our FanDuel brand for the three months to March 31, 2025 in the states in which FanDuel was live (excluding Tennessee as they no longer report this data), based on published gaming regulator reports in those states. iGaming market share is the GGR market share of FanDuel for the three months to March 31, 2025 in the states in which FanDuel was live, based on published gaming regulator reports in those states. US iGaming GGR market share including PokerStars US (which is reported in the International segment) for the three months to March 31, 2025 was 27%.
- US analysis by state cohort includes the states and provinces by FanDuel launch date. Pre-2024, states include: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Tennessee, Virginia, Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Ontario, Louisiana, Wyoming, Kansas, Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts, Kentucky.
- Constant currency growth rates are calculated by retranslating the non-US dollar denominated component of Q1 2024 at Q1 2025 exchange rates. See reconciliation on page 21.
- Italian market position and share based on regulator GGR data from Agenzia delle dogane e dei Monopoli.
- Unallocated corporate overhead includes shared technology, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to a specific segment.
- 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.
- Year to date sports results impact is $280m in revenue and $180m in adjusted EBITDA. The Q1 impact was $230m revenue and $150m of adjusted EBITDA primarily arising in March. The April impact was $50m in revenue and $30m in adjusted EBITDA. Both impacts include an estimate for the benefit of recycling.
- Foreign exchange rates assumed in year to go forecasts for 2025 guidance are per the prevailing rates on April 30 of USD:GBP of 0.746, USD:EUR of 0.878 and USD:AUD of 1.563.
- In the event either the acquisition of NSX does not complete or the completion is not within the stipulated timeline, by the end of May, guidance will be updated accordingly.
- Capital expenditure is defined as payments for the purchase of property and equipment, the purchase of intangible assets and capitalized software.
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 (“Adjusted EPS”), leverage ratio, 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 (“GAAP”). 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.
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.
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:
- it does not reflect the Group’s cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments;
- it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Group’s working capital needs;
- it does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Group’s debt
- it does not reflect shared-based compensation expense which is primarily a non-cash charge that is part of our employee compensation;
- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
- it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the Group’s statements of cash flows; and
- the further adjustments made in calculating Adjusted EBITDA are those that management consider not to be representative of the underlying operations of the Group and therefore are subjective in nature.
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.
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.

Flutter Response to Tax Changes within UK Budget
NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Flutter Entertainment plc (“Flutter”) (NYSE: FLUT; LSE: FLTR), the world’s leading online sports betting and iGaming operator, notes changes to gaming taxation announced by the UK Government in its autumn budget.
The changes to UK online gaming taxation include:
- Effective from April 2026, iGaming increases 19 percentage points to 40 percent
- Effective from April 2027, Sports betting (ex-horseracing) increases 10 percentage points to 25 percent
The adjusted EBITDA1 impact of these changes for Flutter, before mitigation, is expected to be approximately $320m in fiscal 20262 and $540m in fiscal 20273. In the near term, Flutter expects the overall mitigation opportunity to be similar to recent precedent, with a greater relative opportunity for second order mitigation offsetting a moderately lower relative level of first order mitigation.
For both Online Sports betting and iGaming tax increases, direct first order mitigation, including reduced operational, promotional and marketing spend is expected to be approximately 20% of the gross impact in the first six months post implementation, rising to approximately 40% thereafter. Given the staggered implementation dates, this would result in the following expected approximate first order mitigation impact by year:
| In $ millions except where stated otherwise | In-year impact | |||
| 2026 | 2027 | |||
| Total adjusted EBITDA impact | 320 | 540 | ||
| First order mitigation | 85 | 201 | ||
| % mitigation | 27 | % | 37 | % |
| Net impact | 235 | 339 | ||
| 2027 exit % mitigation | 40 | % | ||
These tax increases will have a very significant impact on the overall market. As the largest scale operator, Flutter has the opportunity to deliver material second order mitigation benefits, including market share gains. We believe this, combined with additional operational efficiencies, will provide substantial opportunities to help offset the impact in the medium-term.
Kevin Harrington, UKI CEO, commented:
“Today’s tax increases are a very disappointing outcome and will have a significant adverse impact on our industry. The Chancellor rightly wants to address harm, but these changes will hand a big win to illegal, unlicensed gambling operators who will become more competitive overnight. These black market operators don’t pay tax and don’t invest in safer gambling. At 40 percent, the UK’s remote gaming duty is now above countries such as the Netherlands, where a recent tax increase saw a rise in illegal gambling and a fall in Government receipts. Despite this impact, I am confident that through both our scale and leading position in the UK, as well as the proactive cost initiatives that we are taking, we are well placed to navigate through today’s changes.”

Overview
- Solid Group Q3 performance with AMPs +9% and revenue +17% year-over-year reflecting the benefit of Snai and Betnacional acquisitions (“M&A”), combined with excellent organic iGaming growth which offset the impact of customer-friendly sports results
- US:
- Revenue +9% year-over-year led by strong, product-driven iGaming revenue growth of 44%
- Sportsbook AMP growth accelerated to 5% (Q2: -4%). Sportsbook revenue was -5% year-over-year due to the temporary impacts of sports results, and very high levels of uneconomic generosity from sportsbook competitors at NFL season start, leading to Q3 Adjusted EBITDA of $51m, -12% year-over-year
- In response, increased FanDuel investment during Q4 has been effective, with year-over-year handle growth +10% Q4 to date, and the NBA season off to a strong start
- FanDuel Predicts, a new prediction market product which will include sports in states without access to regulated sports betting, to launch in December. Capitalizing on FanDuel’s strong brand presence and CME Group’s exchange capabilities, with strategic investment to expand the FanDuel customer ecosystem
- International:
- Revenue +21% and adjusted EBITDA of $505m, +10% year-over-year including the benefit of M&A
- Organic iGaming revenue +10%, with strong SEA iGaming growth offsetting the impact of previously announced regulatory changes in India3
- Organic Sportsbook revenue -6% due to the impacts of a strong European Football Championships (“Euros”) and bookmaker friendly results in the prior year
- Group Q3 adjusted EBITDA grew 6% and adjusted EBITDA margin declined 130bps, driven by the factors detailed above. This, combined with the benefit of non-controlling interest credits, contributed to adjusted earnings per share +29% to $1.64
- Group Q3 net loss of $789m was $675m higher year-over-year due to the non-cash impairment charge of $556m triggered by Indian regulation changes3, and the previously communicated $205m payment to Boyd to revise US market access terms4 (“Boyd payment”). As a result, net loss margin and loss per share were 20.8% and $3.91 respectively
- Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow in Q3 declined by 28% and 78% respectively, due to the Boyd payment
Updated full year 2025 guidance
Q4 has started well on an underlying basis. In the US, FanDuel’s increased customer acquisition and retention investment in Q4 is proving effective with continued player momentum and year-over-year handle growth stepping up to 10% quarter to date with the NBA season off to a strong start. Sports results, however, have been customer friendly across the Group with an adjusted EBITDA impact of approximately $170m from October 1, through November 9, 20256.
2025 outlook5 is therefore primarily updated to include the impact of: (i) Q3 performance, (ii) Q4 sports results6, (iii) Q4 sportsbook investment, (iv) FanDuel Predicts investment7, (v) tax costs associated with the Illinois wager fee which we are now treating as taxable, and (vi) Indian regulatory change
Group revenue is now expected to be $16.69bn with adjusted EBITDA of $2.915bn at the midpoint. This reflects a reduction from previous guidance of $570m and $380m in revenue and adjusted EBITDA expectations respectively, with updated guidance now representing 19% and 24% year-over-year growth.
Peter Jackson, CEO, commented:
“Flutter delivered a solid third quarter, with continued momentum in both our US and International businesses. We are the clear number one operator in the US, and we will continue to build on that position to drive future profitability. Our strategic investments, including the launch of FanDuel Predicts and recent International acquisitions, position us exceptionally well to capture new opportunities and deliver sustainable, profitable growth. Our diversified portfolio and disciplined approach give me great confidence in our ability to lead the industry and increase long-term value for shareholders.”
To our shareholders
Flutter delivered a solid Q3 performance with AMP growth of 9%, revenue increasing 17% and adjusted EBITDA 6% ahead year-over-year. These results reflect the positive impact of our recent Snai and Betnacional acquisitions, as well as excellent organic iGaming growth which helped offset customer-friendly sports results. The Group reported a net loss of $789m for the quarter compared to $114m in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of a non-cash impairment charge relating to regulatory changes in India and the previously communicated $205m payment to Boyd for improved US market access terms.
I am really pleased with the strong positioning of Flutter’s core business as we continue to execute in the final quarter of the year. Before sharing more detail on our Q3 performance and outlook, I first want to present how we are strategically positioning FanDuel to capture the emerging prediction markets opportunity. This area has been a source of significant industry discussion over recent months and I am very excited to announce our expansion into the market with the launch of “FanDuel Predicts”, a new FanDuel branded app which we expect to launch in December, through our joint venture with the CME Group.
FanDuel Predicts unlocks an immediate growth opportunity by allowing us to offer a compelling sports product to the vast majority of the US adult population in states that do not currently have access to sports betting. This represents a significant incremental addressable market for FanDuel in addition to our existing sportsbook and iGaming business. We believe this new sports opportunity lies solely in these states, as prediction markets are having a negligible impact in the states where FanDuel sportsbook is already available to customers. FanDuel Predicts will also accelerate acquisition of customers into the FanDuel ecosystem ahead of the state regulation of sports betting. Furthermore, the strength of our world-class pricing and risk management capabilities present potential market-making opportunities which we continue to assess.
We are exceptionally well positioned to harness this growth opportunity. We have a powerful combination of assets enabled through our strategic partnership with CME Group, who have a long track record of operating the world’s leading derivatives marketplace, together with FanDuel’s nationwide brand presence and sports betting expertise, which has already successfully delivered a position as the clear leader in sports betting. Our extensive experience operating the Betfair Exchange within the Flutter Group also equips us with a deep understanding of this space.
Our launch strategy has been developed in close consultation with state regulators and tribal authorities, resulting in a tailored, state-specific approach that enables us to launch in those states where no local regulation exists. At launch, FanDuel Predicts will offer sports markets in states without a current sports betting regulatory framework. Sports markets will also be restricted to non-tribal lands. This means that a significant proportion of the US population will soon have access to a brand new FanDuel sports product, operating with the same high standards regarding customer protection, know your customer, and anti-money laundering as all our FanDuel products. A range of financial and cultural markets will also be offered across virtually all states. In our existing sportsbook and iGaming states our primary focus will continue to be the state-regulated market and strengthening our leadership position in our core sports betting and iGaming businesses.
The opportunity to extend the FanDuel footprint into new states is significant and our aspiration is to be the clear market leader. Our investment will therefore be meaningful, while maintaining a disciplined approach, a strategy which has served us so well since the inception of sports betting in the US. At this early stage, we anticipate incremental EBITDA cost of $40-$50m in Q4 2025 and $200m-$300m in 2026 with the majority arising in H27. In line with our proven investment strategy on sportsbook to date, we will closely monitor returns with a priority on building value for the future, while also maintaining the flexibility to accelerate investment where performance warrants. We believe this will position FanDuel to deliver future growth and harness the long-term opportunities for our business.
In conclusion, we believe prediction markets present a very significant incremental growth opportunity for FanDuel, and that their evolution will also accelerate the path to state-regulated sports betting and iGaming. In the long-term, we firmly believe that state-regulated sports betting and iGaming remains the most valuable long-term opportunity in the US. The importance of having the best quality sports betting product, combined with the ability to price increasingly complex sports products accurately, cannot be overstated. These are both areas where Flutter and FanDuel excel. As demonstrated by international precedent, long-term success in the US gaming sector will be achieved by those operators with scale positions and the highest quality sports betting product.
US update
Q3 AMP growth in the US was encouraging at 8% year-over-year, with continued strong iGaming AMP growth of 30%, and sportsbook AMP growth of 5% representing an acceleration in year-over-year growth compared to Q2.
FanDuel’s revenue performance was underpinned by another very strong iGaming quarter with revenue growth of 44% delivering a GGR market share of 27% in Q3. Player frequency continued to grow with over 500 new slots titles added during the quarter, as access to the proprietary Flutter gaming platform unlocked a faster pace of content delivery. Exclusive content also continued to resonate strongly and drive increased customer engagement, with new Wonka and Samurai titles added in Q3 as well as the latest installment of our Huff and Puff series. Huff ‘N Lots of Puff was our most successful game launch to date, setting all-time highs in actives and GGR on launch. Our consistent delivery of innovative and engaging iGaming product features ensures we are well positioned to capitalize on the long-term opportunity. With population penetration still well below our long-term expectations, we believe a very long runway for future growth remains in existing states, before factoring in any future state legalization.
Turning to sportsbook, and while September and October have been impacted by customer-friendly NFL sports results, it is still early in the season. We have complete conviction in our pricing and we remain confident that this short-term variability of outcomes will revert to expected levels over time. Higher levels of parlay and SGP penetration ultimately drive higher structural revenue margin, and we continue to make good progress toward our longer-term 16% structural hold expectation.
The start of the NFL season consistently sees heightened levels of competition in the market and Q3 this year was even more pronounced than in previous years. September was characterized by very high levels of competitor customer generosity, including a range of unsustainable, uneconomic customer offers. These competitive dynamics resulted in lower than anticipated FanDuel NFL handle growth and Same Game Parlay (SGP) penetration in the opening weeks of the season. This impact was transitory in nature, with trends significantly improved by the start of the fourth quarter as FanDuel’s disciplined investment approach proved effective. Despite this impact in September, FanDuel’s structural advantages ensured we maintained a strong sportsbook market share, with a 47% net gaming revenue (NGR) share of the online sports betting market in September8.
While market competitive intensity has moderated from the NFL season start, it still remains at elevated levels. FanDuel’s scale as the #1 operator in the US (Q3 GGR share: 38%, Q3 NGR share: 41%), has subsequently enabled us to take action to strengthen our market leadership. We responded in a strong but disciplined way at the start of Q4, with increased investment in customer acquisition and retention, and we have been very pleased with the momentum that this has driven.
During the quarter we believe the impact from prediction market activity on our business was negligible, as in regulated states customers continue to prefer the richer experience provided by regulated sportsbooks. Based on our analysis, we believe the vast majority of this activity is taking place in states without sportsbook regulation. We therefore do not see sports prediction markets as a meaningful challenge in states where regulated sportsbooks like FanDuel are available.
From a product perspective, the NFL season launch in September was an important milestone for innovation. FanDuel Futures Day showcased a new, first-to-market NFL feature enabling customers to create season long SGPs, driving high levels of parlay engagement. Live betting represents over half of handle, with further enhancements to our live SGP proposition including expanded NFL drive offerings. This helped deliver an NFL parlay penetration increase of 300 bps in the season to date. Our Your Way feature benefited from the addition of SGP+ capabilities and while this currently remains a separate sportsbook experience, the underlying next-generation pricing technology now powers our entire NFL sportsbook pricing and is driving a number of product improvements. This included an increased range of cashout markets helping drive a 20% increase in cashout activity.
We have been really pleased with our NBA performance since the season start in late October. Customer engagement, handle and SGP penetration are all tracking strongly in the early weeks of the season, giving us confidence that growth this season is shaping up to be stronger than last year. We are excited to see what our new strategic NBA partnership with Amazon Prime can unlock including merchandising integrations, product integrations and in-game virtual signage.
Finally, I wanted to share my thoughts on recent concerns around sports integrity. This is hugely important to us and something we take very seriously across the Group. At FanDuel, we use advanced technology and real-time monitoring to identify suspicious activity and work closely with leagues, data monitoring groups, and law enforcement to alert them to any suspicious activity. This highlights the important role the regulated industry plays in assuring the integrity of these great sports. We will continue to work closely with all key stakeholders to ensure that effective frameworks are in place to protect sports integrity, the players and our customers.
International update
The International division delivered 21% year-over-year revenue growth, with the Snai and Betnacional acquisitions contributing 18 percentage points of the increase. Organic growth was impacted by the cessation of real-money gaming in India and a strong prior-year sportsbook performance, which benefited from the Euros and more favorable sports results. iGaming continued to drive organic growth in Q3, with exceptional growth in Turkey and positive momentum in SisaI’s Italian online business.
Our focus on the Flutter Edge is delivering innovation across our International business. In Southern Europe and Africa (SEA), we launched MyCombo on Sisal, the only full SGP product available in the Italian market, in time for the start of the Italian soccer season. Customer engagement has been strong with half of customers placing a MyCombo bet during the first seven rounds of the season.
The September integration of Flutter Studios into the SEA Italian online platform has enabled in-house content to be offered to our Italian customers, with a strong pipeline of future content. In July, we migrated PokerStars Italian customers to our SEA platform, a key milestone in the PokerStars transformation which will deliver material savings in 2027 after completion of the final migration from the existing PokerStars technology stack.
The Snai integration has been progressing well; we have enhanced the iGaming proposition, optimized retail gaming machines and commission structures, and increased customer acquisition volumes by deploying Sisal’s proven retail signup program. The migration of Snai customers to the SEA online platform remains on track for H1 2026, providing increased confidence in our Snai synergy targets.
In the UK and Ireland (UKI), the successful migration of Sky Bet onto our shared Flutter UKI platform has enabled delivery of new product and improvements for our Sky Bet customers. This included the launch of our highly popular SuperSub offering and the new Squad Bet proposition, powered by our next-generation pricing capability. Continued roll out of premium content has also helped drive positive iGaming momentum.
There has been much speculation around potential gaming tax increases in the upcoming UK budget. We remain engaged with policymakers and expect decisions will be based on economic merit, taking into account the industry’s substantial contribution to UK tax revenues and employment. Significant increases to the tax rates would threaten jobs and investment across the UK market, as well as driving more customers to unregulated operators on the black market – where there are no player protections and regulatory oversight. We continue to engage with policymakers and await the outcome in the Budget later this month, however, should taxes increase, Flutter’s growing scale and market leading position will help to mitigate the impact, and we would likely benefit from the consolidation of share among sub-scale operators over time.
Brazil is an exciting growth opportunity for Flutter and we retain a strong conviction that scale operators with the best products will win the largest share of the market. This quarter, our expanding portfolio of games and more sophisticated generosity delivered record iGaming revenues. On sportsbook we will continue to integrate Flutter’s in-house pricing capabilities and generosity functionality to materially elevate the overall customer proposition ahead of the World Cup next year.
The good progress we are making across the numerous transformation projects both detailed above and in previous quarters, is helping us deliver further scale benefits and positions us to deliver enhanced experiences for our customers. Our cost efficiency drivers go beyond the $300m target we set out our Investor Day last year, with the redesign of our UKI organizational structure a good example of an incremental initiative.
Outside of performance during the quarter, the enactment of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 forced Junglee and all other operators to immediately cease real-money operations. We are extremely disappointed with the sudden and unexpected change to the regulatory landscape in India. Flutter has invested significantly in India over the last number of years, responsibly delivering innovative skill-based games to Indian customers. Junglee will now only offer free-to-play gaming content as we assess our medium-term options in that market.
Final thoughts and outlook
As I think about the remainder of the year, I am excited to expand our portfolio in the US to include FanDuel Predicts, harnessing the significant opportunity for FanDuel in this space. I am also confident that our US market leadership, and the diversification of our International business will position us well for the rest of the year and into 2026. We have a strong platform for executing our capital allocation strategy, with a continued focus on creating long-term shareholder value.
Sincerely,
Peter Jackson

Group
The Group delivered AMP and revenue growth of 9% and 17%, respectively. Excluding M&A revenue grew 5%. Organic iGaming revenue growth of 19% year-over-year helped to offset the impact of customer friendly sports results.
The net loss of $789m for the quarter increased by $675m from $114m in Q3 2024, primarily due to:
- The non-cash, impairment charge of $556m related to the Junglee business as a result of sudden legislative change which necessitated a shutdown of all real-money gaming in India indefinitely
- Transaction fees and associated costs of $204m, primarily relating to the revision of market access terms as part of the Boyd transaction
- A $54m increase in adjusted depreciation and amortization cost to $184m in Q3 2025 (Q3 2024: $130m), primarily due to M&A
- A $107m increase in the non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles to $235m in Q3 2025 (Q3 2024: $128m) due to M&A and the SkyBet and PokerStars platform integrations
- A $47m increase in interest expense, net year-over year to $152m (Q3 2024: $105m)
These were partly offset by:
- A $247m year-over-year non-cash benefit relating to the Fox Option fair value adjustment with a gain in Q3 2025 of $126m (Q3 2024 loss of $121m)10
- A $29m increase in the income tax credit to $45m (Q3 2024 credit of $16m) primarily driven by a tax benefit associated with the Boyd payment
In addition to the above, the Group benefited from non-controlling interest credits totaling $99m, primarily relating to the adjustment of Betnacional losses and the impact of the reduction in Junglee’s redemption value. The net loss attributable to Flutter shareholders was therefore $690m with an increased loss per share for the quarter of $3.91.
Adjusted EBITDA of $478m grew 6%, with adjusted EBITDA margin 130bps lower, principally due to the impact of the above detailed performance drivers. Adjusted earnings per share for the period grew 29% to $1.64 primarily reflecting the adjusted EBITDA performance above and the impact of the non-controlling interest credits.
The Group’s net cash provided by operating activities, and free cash flow declined by 28% and 78% respectively, primarily due to the Boyd payment of $205m. Cashflow also reflected the adjusted EBITDA performance detailed above, and a year-on-year benefit from derivative settlements of $179m (Q3 2025: $30m payment, Q3 2024: $209m payment). These were offset by a smaller working capital inflow year-over-year due to the unfavorable swing in Group sports results year-over-year from being bookmaker friendly in Q3 2024 to customer friendly in Q3 2025.
US
US Q3 AMPs of 3.5m grew 8% year-over-year. (Pre-2024 state AMPs +10%, and pre-2022 state AMPs +11%11). Revenue grew 9%, driven by iGaming revenue growth of 44% offsetting a sportsbook revenue decline of 5%.
Sportsbook revenue performance was driven by handle growth of 6%, offset by a net revenue margin decline of 80 basis points year-over-year to 7.4%.
The decrease in net revenue margin included:
- Structural revenue margin of 12.9%, 10bps higher than the prior year despite a lower than anticipated parlay mix at the start of the NFL season. This impact was transitory and structural revenue margin has subsequently increased back in line with our expectations
- An adverse sports results impact year-over-year of 90bps (Q3 2025: 10bps unfavorable, Q3 2024: 80bps favorable). At a revenue level, this translated to an adverse in-quarter impact in Q3 2025 of $45m
- Promotional spend of 5.4%, which remained in line year-over-year
iGaming revenue grew 44%, underpinned by AMP growth of 30% and an increase in player frequency year-over-year.
Cost of sales increased by 120bps, driven primarily by the year-over-year swing in sports results combined with the impact of higher gaming taxes in IL, LA, NJ, and MD. These impacts were partly offset by the improved market access terms secured through the Boyd transaction.
Sales and marketing expenses were 11% higher year-over-year in line with plans to spend a greater proportion of 2025 investment during H2, and increased by 20bps as a percentage of revenue to 22.4% due to the impact of sports results. Technology, research and development costs were 22% higher year-over-year, primarily as a result of the scaling of data storage and processing costs and talent investment. General and administrative costs were 8% lower as we lapped Missouri referendum costs in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $51m (Q3 2024 $58m), with a reduction in adjusted EBITDA margin of 90bps year-over-year driven by the factors detailed above.

International revenue was 21% higher year-over year (up 19% on a constant currency13 basis, “cc”), with AMPs 10% higher. International revenue excluding M&A was 3% higher year-over-year.
Sportsbook revenue was 11% higher year-over-year and down 6% excluding M&A. Sportsbook handle grew 13% year-over-year and was down 3% excluding M&A, with the organic performance reflecting a strong 2024 prior-year comparative period, which contained the Euros, which alone accounted for 4% of handle in Q3 2024.
Sportsbook net revenue margin decreased by 30bps year-over-year to 12.4%:
- A 20bps reduction in structural revenue margin to 16.3%, primarily due to the impact of faster growth in regions with currently lower structural revenue margins including SEA, Brazil and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
- An adverse sports results impact year-over-year of 70bps (Q3 2025: 20bps unfavorable, Q3 2024 50bps favorable)
- A reduction in promotional spend of 60 basis points to 3.7%
iGaming revenue was 31% higher year-over-year and increased by 10% excluding M&A. Organic growth in SEA of 24% was driven by Sisal Italy online growth of 46% and Turkey growth of 65%, which more than offset the cessation of trading in India reflected in Asia Pacific (APAC).
Revenue performance across our International regions year-over-year was as follows:
- UKI revenue grew 1% (-3% cc). Sportsbook revenue reflected a 6% decline in handle, primarily due to the Euros in the prior year (8% of prior year handle), combined with an unfavorable 40bps swing in sports results. iGaming growth was driven by new content roll-out
- SEA revenue increased 101%, or 19% excluding M&A. Organic sportsbook revenue growth of 6% was driven by 14% organic sportsbook AMP growth, offsetting the impact of the Euros in the prior year (4% of prior year handle). Organic iGaming revenue growth of 24% was driven by (i) Sisal Italy online, which continues to benefit from Flutter Edge integrations and (ii) Turkey where an expanding product offering is driving greater online penetration
- APAC revenue declined 12%, with sportsbook performance in Australia primarily impacted by a 110bps adverse swing in sports results. Ongoing market trends in horse racing led to a 5% reduction in sportsbook handle, partially offset by a 50bps reduction in generosity through more targeted spend distribution. iGaming reflected the prohibition of real-money gaming and subsequent cessation of our Indian operations in August
- CEE revenue grew 14%, with proprietary iGaming content and sportsbook net revenue margin expansion helping deliver a record market share in Georgia
- Brazil revenue grew 412% with Betnacional achieving record iGaming revenues. Excluding M&A, revenue decreased 18% with Betfair Brazil continuing to recover from the customer re-registration friction following introduction of regulation in January
- Other regions revenue was 4% higher reflecting a credit relating to an historic tax provision this quarter
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 10% year-over-year to $505m and was in line year-over-year excluding M&A. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.8%, a 230bps reduction, reflective of our investment phase in Brazil.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased by 300bps to 48.1%, with the acquisition of Snai and Betnacional contributing 200bps of the increase. The remaining 100bps organic increase was primarily driven by increased taxes in CEE and in Betfair Brazil, along with a continued shift in revenue mix in favor of iGaming, which incurs higher third party costs than sportsbook.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 19% year-over-year and decreased by 3% excluding M&A. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing reduced by 40bps to 17.0%, benefitting from the growth in SEA and CEE regions where marketing spend is lower as a percentage of revenue.
Technology, research and development costs were 4% higher year-over-year but decreased by 4% excluding M&A. General and administrative costs were 26% higher and increased by 12% excluding M&A with the organic increase driven by additional investment in SEA, and the lapping of a $18m credit relating to a historic legal case adjustment in Q3 2024.
Unallocated corporate overhead increased by 13% year-over-year driven by the transfer of some technology costs from our International division to be managed and reported centrally within corporate.
Capital structure
Available cash increased $244m year-over-year, closing at approximately $1.7bn. The change in total debt from $6,736m at December 31, 2024 to $12,099m at September 30, 2025 reflects financing secured at attractive terms for the Snai and Betnacional acquisitions, and the purchase of Boyd’s 5% interest in FanDuel for $1.76bn on July 31, 2025. Net debt was $10,602m at the end of Q3 2025, with a leverage ratio2 of 4.0x at September 30, 2025 (2.2x at December 31, 2024). The leverage ratio would be 3.7x based on the last 12 months adjusted EBITDA including Snai2. We continue to expect our leverage to 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 Q3 2025, with 770 thousand shares repurchased in the quarter for a consideration of $225m excluding excise duties. The authorized Q4 program subsequently completed on November 3, 2025, with the repurchase of a further 1.02 million shares for a consideration of $245m. This brings the total cash returned to shareholders since the beginning of the share repurchase program to $1.12bn, of a total of $5bn to be returned over the coming years, representing 2% of Flutter’s issued share capital14. The program will continue into 2026, with a Q1 2026 repurchase of up to $250m.
Guidance
Q4 has started well on an underlying basis. In the US, FanDuel’s increased customer acquisition and retention investment in Q4 is proving effective with continued player momentum and year-over-year handle growth stepping up to 10% quarter to date with the NBA season off to a strong start. Sports results, however, have been customer friendly across the Group with an adjusted EBITDA impact of approximately $170m from October 1, through November 9, 20256.
2025 outlook5 is therefore primarily updated to include the impact of: (i) Q3 performance, (ii) Q4 sports results6, (iii) Q4 sportsbook investment, (iv) FanDuel Predicts investment7, (v) tax costs associated with the Illinois wager fee which we are now treating as taxable, and (vi) Indian regulatory change

US: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $7.17bn and $935m, representing year-over-year growth of 24% and 84%, respectively.
This comprises guidance for both existing and new states as follows:
- Existing states revenue of $7.200bn and adjusted EBITDA of $1.005bn, with year-over-year growth of 24% and 98%, respectively, reduced from previous guidance due to the factors outlined in the table above

Notes
| 1 | Average Monthly Players (“AMPs”) is defined as the average over the applicable reporting period of the total number of players who have placed and/or wagered a stake and/or contributed to rake or tournament fees during the month. This measure does not include individuals who have only used new player or player retention incentives, and this measure is for online players only and excludes retail player activity. In circumstances where a player uses multiple product categories within one brand, we are generally able to identify that it is the same player who is using multiple product categories and therefore count this player as only one AMP at the Group level while also counting this player as one AMP for each separate product category that the player is using. As a result, the sum of the AMPs presented at the product category level is greater than the total AMPs presented at the Group level. See Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Operational Metrics” of Flutter’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025 for additional information regarding how we calculate AMPs data, including a discussion regarding duplication of players that exists in such data. |
| 2 | Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, last twelve months adjusted EBITDA including Snai, Free Cash Flow, net debt, leverage ratio, leverage ratio including Snai, constant currency, adjusted net income attributable to Flutter shareholders and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures” and “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” sections of this announcement for definitions of these measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Due to rounding, these numbers may not add up precisely to the totals provided. |
| 3 | The non-cash impairment relating to the cessation of real-money gaming in India of $556m is comprised of goodwill of $517m, acquired and developed intangibles of $32m and other long-lived assets of $7m. The impairment charge exceeds the cash total consideration paid to acquire a 95% ownership interest the Junglee business ($237m) as a result of the re-allocation of total International goodwill following the re-segmentation of the Flutter group at the start of 2025, as required by US GAAP. The goodwill attributed to Junglee reflects the exceptional performance of the business at the time. The impairment charge will not result in any current or future cash expenditure and does not impact adjusted EBITDA
The cessation of real-money gaming in India will have the following adverse impact on the future results of the APAC region within the International division, compared to management expectations prior to the cessation of operations:
|
| 4 | On July 10, 2025 Flutter announced the extension of its long-term strategic partnership with Boyd Gaming Corporation (“Boyd”) to 2038 and the buyout of Boyd’s 5% stake in FanDuel Group. The strategic benefits of the transaction provided an increase in Flutter’s ownership in the number 1 sports betting and iGaming operator in the US, FanDuel, as well as securing significantly reduced market access costs expected to translate to annual savings of $65m beginning July 1, 2025. Consideration comprised approximately $1.553bn attributable to the acquisition of Boyd’s 5% stake in FanDuel and $205m attributable to the revision of various existing commercial terms. The amount of $205m is included in the income statement and as a cash outflow within net cash provided by operating activities during Q3 2025. |
| 5 | 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. |
| 6 | Impact of US sports results:
International Q3 impact reflects the impact of August and September sports results. The benefit of sports results for July year to date was included in International Q2 guidance. International Q4 impact reflects the impact of sports results through Nov 9. |
| 7 | Investment represents expected adjusted EBITDA impact of FanDuel Predicts, for FanDuel only. FanDuel will consolidate the results of FanDuel Predicts fully in its reported results. Under the terms of the partnership with CME Group, CME Group will receive a revenue share of approximately 50% of the gross revenue generated by FanDuel Predicts, before deduction of promotional spend. This revenue share cost will be accounted for in cost of sales. FanDuel will bear 100% of costs to support the FanDuel Predicts mobile app (promotional costs, sales and marketing, and non-exchange related cost of sales). CME Group will bear all costs to support the exchange. |
| 8 | US market position based on available market share data for states in which FanDuel is active. Online sportsbook market share is the gross gaming revenue (GGR) and net gaming revenue (NGR) market share of our FanDuel brand for the three months to September 30, 2025 in the states in which FanDuel was live (excluding Tennessee as they no longer report this data), based on published gaming regulator reports in those states. iGaming market share is the GGR market share of FanDuel for the three months to September 30, 2025 in the states in which FanDuel was live, based on published gaming regulator reports in those states. US iGaming GGR market share including PokerStars US (which is reported in the International segment) for the three months to September 30, 2025 was 28%. |
| 9 | Unallocated corporate overhead includes shared technology, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to a specific segment. |
| 10 | Fox has an option to acquire an 18.6% equity interest in FanDuel (the Fox Option). Gains or losses in the fair value of the Fox Option primarily due to changes in the fair value of FanDuel during the reporting period are recorded in Other income (expense), net. See Part II, “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Fair Value Measurements” of Flutter’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025 for additional information regarding the Fox Option. |

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 (“Adjusted EPS”), 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 (“GAAP”). 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and plus net income for nine months ended September 30, 2025.
LTM net income including Snai is defined on a Group basis as LTM net income plus Snai’s net income for the seven months ended April 30, 2025 prior to the completion of acquisition. Snai’s historical condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). We have made adjustments to conform Snai’s 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:
- Transaction fees and associated costs and restructuring and integration costs related to the acquisition assumed to have incurred prior to or soon after the acquisition date of January 1, 2024, and therefore are reversed from the twelve months result ended September 30, 2025.
- New debt financing required to complete the acquisition of Snai is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2024. The additional interest expense recognized is calculated, together with the associated hedge impact and the amortization of related debts issuance costs. For the new debt at floating rate, we have assumed the actual 3 months SOFR rates for Q3 2025 was constant from October 2024 to April 2025.
- Intangible assets are assumed to be recorded at their estimated fair value as of January 1, 2024, and are amortized over their estimated useful lives from that date along with the consequent deferred tax benefit. The amortization expense relating to the historical fair value uplift on Snai’s intangible assets acquired by Playtech in 2018, together with the deferred tax benefit are reversed.
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 property and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and goodwill 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 property and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and goodwill; 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.

- Fees primarily associated with the revision of Boyd market access agreements.
- Costs primarily relate to various restructuring, acquisition integration and other strategic initiatives to drive synergies. The programs are expected to run until 2027. These actions include efforts to consolidate and integrate our technology infrastructure, back-office functions and relocate certain operations to lower cost locations. It also includes business process re-engineering cost, planning and design of target operating models for the Group’s enabling functions and discovery and planning related to the Group’s anticipated migration to a new enterprise resource planning system. The costs primarily include severance expenses, advisory fees and temporary staffing costs.
- Impairment primarily relates to Junglee. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 (the “Act”), which was passed by the Indian Parliament and received Presidential assent on August 22, 2025, bans all forms of online real money gaming in India. As a result of the Act, from August 22, 2025, Junglee ceased offering all real-money games in India. The Junglee impairment charge is $556m before income taxes. The assets impaired substantially consist of goodwill of $517m, acquired and developed intangibles of $32m and other long-lived assets of $7m. The $517m of goodwill impaired is not deductible for tax purposes, and therefore there is no income tax benefit. Income tax impacts arising for acquired and developed intangibles and other long-lived assets are not material.
