From Q1 2025, Kambi will amend the way data supplier costs are presented in its income statement. They will be reclassified from operating expenses to cost of sales, and result in a new sub-total: gross profit. This better presents them as variable costs related to delivery of revenue streams, allowing for easier comparison.

Furthermore, Kambi has decided to change the naming of its alternative performance measures (APMs) and to start using Adjusted EBITA (acq) and Adjusted EBITDA (previously EBITA (acq) and EBITDA) to make it more apparent that items affecting comparability are excluded from these measures.

Old name	New name	Definition
EBITA (acq)	Adjusted EBITA (acq)	Earnings before interest, taxation, amortisation on acquired intangible assets and items affecting comparability.
EBITDA	Adjusted EBITDA	Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation on both acquired intangible assets and capitalised development costs and items affecting comparability.

To allow for a more condensed income statement, a reconciliation from Operating profit to Adjusted EBITA (acq) and Adjusted EBITDA will be included separately.

Reformatted figures for 2023 and for 2024 are attached to this announcement.

EWC 2025 will unfold across four dedicated arenas, each spotlighting one game at a time to deliver the best fan experience. Select titles will host Last Chance Qualifiers in the Festival zone — giving players one final shot at advancing to the main stage.

The Esports World Cup has introduced a refined tournament schedule to enhance viewership across its expanded lineup. Finals will now take place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays – reducing overlap and ensuring dedicated coverage for each title. Tickets for EWC 2025 are now available to purchase at esportsworldcup.com.

The total $70+ million prize pool is allocated across the Club Championship, Game Championships, MVP Awards, and EWC Qualifiers. Out of this, $27 million is dedicated to the EWC Club Championship — an innovative cross-game format that rewards the top 16 Clubs for their performance across multiple titles, with $7 million reserved for the 2025 champion. Game Championships will feature their own prize pools, totaling over $38 million combined, while standout players will compete for a share of the $450,000 MVP Award pool.

Open to all participating organizations, the Club Championship awards points for top-eight finishes across tournaments. To claim the title, Clubs must secure at least two top-eight placements and win at least one tournament. New for 2025, joint ventures — collaborations between two distinct organizations on a specific roster — will be ineligible for points, with Clubs required to compete under one aligned name throughout the EWC to qualify. The Club that shows both consistency and competitive excellence across the entire EWC calendar, will be crowned the Esports World Cup Club Champion at the EWC 2025 closing ceremony on August 24, 2025.

At EWC 2024, Team Falcons dominated with 5,665 points and three tournament wins to claim the $7 million Club Championship. Team Liquid and Team BDS followed in second and third, with 2,545 and 2,000 points respectively. The top 10 also featured some of the biggest names in global esports: Gaimin Gladiators, T1, Virtus.pro, Team Vitality, Twisted Minds, Gen.G, and LOUD — all delivering standout performances across multiple titles, setting the stage for EWC 2025.
