NEW YORK, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT; LSE: FLTR) (“Flutter”) the world’s leading online sports betting and iGaming operator today announces Q2 results, and increased 2025 guidance.

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’ 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 Real-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

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’s 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.

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:

  US International Corporate Group
($ in millions) Revenue Adjusted EBITDA Revenue Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA Revenue Adjusted EBITDA
US existing states 7,440   1,220            
US new states (40)   (90)

New state timing 10   20         10 20

Revised Guidance4 7,580   1,245   9,680 2,300 (250)   17,260 3,295  
US existing states 7,610   1,315            
US new states (30)   (70)            

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.

Capital expenditure12 Approximately $820m $820m
Share repurchases Up to $1bn Up to $1bn

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

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 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.
4 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.
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 Q1 impact: revenue $230m unfavorable, adjusted EBITDA $150m unfavorable, Q2 impact: revenue $90m favorable, adjusted EBITDA $70m favorable (April impact $50m revenue unfavorable, $30m adjusted EBITDA unfavorable. May/June impact: revenue $140m favorable, adjusted EBITDA $100m favorable). Impact of sports results year to date to the end of June: revenue $140m unfavorable and adjusted EBITDA $80m unfavorable. Impacts include an estimate for the benefit of recycling.
7 Italian market position and share based on regulator GGR data from Agenzia delle dogane e dei Monopoli.
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 June 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 June 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 June 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 Constant currency growth rates are calculated by retranslating the non-US dollar denominated component of Q2 2024 at Q2 2025 exchange rates. See reconciliation below.
11 In addition to Q2 Italian revenue reported within SEA, there was also Italian revenue in the quarter generated across tombola (reported in UKI) and Betfair (reported in Other regions).
12 Consideration comprises approximately $1.56bn attributable to the acquisition of Boyd’s 5% stake in FanDuel and approximately $0.2bn attributable to the revision of various existing commercial terms. The amount of $0.2bn will be reflected as a cash outflow within net cash provided by operating activities during Q3 2025
13 Capital expenditure is defined as payments for the purchase of property and equipment, the purchase of intangible assets and capitalized software.
14 The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates versus those used in the guidance issued on May 7, 2025 is not significant with movements in EUR and GBP offsetting at an International segment adjusted EBITDA level. Therefore, foreign exchange rates assumed for 2025 guidance remain unchanged versus those used for guidance issued on May 7, 2025 of USD:GBP of 0.746, USD:EUR of 0.878 and USD:AUD of 1.563.


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 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’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 June 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 Q2 2025 was constant from July 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 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:

 • 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 share-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.

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.

Flutter Response to Tax Changes within UK Budget

Published

on

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.”

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

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.”

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
Flutter CEO

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 new states (30)   (70)            

Our updated outlook for 2025 now includes the following midpoints:

Group: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $16.69bn and $2.915bn, representing 19% and 24% year-over-year growth, respectively.

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
  • New states: negative revenue of $30m and an adjusted EBITDA cost of $70m

International: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $9.52bn and $2.24bn, representing year-over-year growth of 15% and 8%, respectively.

Unallocated corporate overhead: cost guidance of $260m due to a movement of costs from International.

Other items: unchanged from Q2 guidance.

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:

  • 2025: Revenue -$70m, EBITDA -$30m
  • 2026: Revenue -$250m, EBITDA -$90m
  • 2027: Revenue -$310m, EBITDA -$130m
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:

  • YTD through Nov 9: revenue $390m unfavorable, adjusted EBITDA $260m unfavorable
  • Q4TD through Nov 9: revenue $205m unfavorable, adjusted EBITDA $150m unfavorable
  • Q3: revenue $45m unfavorable, adjusted EBITDA $30m unfavorable
  • Q2: revenue $90m favorable, adjusted EBITDA $70m favorable
  • Q1: revenue $230m unfavorable, adjusted EBITDA $150m unfavorable

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.
11 US analysis by state cohort includes relevant states and provinces by FanDuel launch date and relates to online sportsbook and iGaming only. Pre-2024, states in order of launch include: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Tennessee, Virginia, Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Ontario, Louisiana, Wyoming, Kansas, Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts and Kentucky.
12 Total International revenue by region and year-over-year movements includes Other revenue in addition to Sports and iGaming revenue separately identified.
13 Constant currency growth rates are calculated by retranslating the non-US dollar denominated component of Q3 2024 at Q3 2025 exchange rates. See reconciliation below.
14 Number of repurchased ordinary shares expressed as a percentage of total ordinary shares in issue as at 31 October 2024.
15 Guidance for non-controlling interests relates to the aggregate of net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests, and the adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value.
16 Capital expenditure is defined as payments for the purchase of property and equipment, the purchase of intangible assets and capitalized software.
17 The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates versus those used in the guidance issued on August 7, 2025 is not significant. Therefore, foreign exchange rates assumed for 2025 guidance remain unchanged versus those used for guidance issued on August 7, 2025 of USD:GBP of 0.746, USD:EUR of 0.878 and USD:AUD of 1.563.


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:

  • 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 share-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.

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.

  1. Fees primarily associated with the revision of Boyd market access agreements.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
