Allwyn International Q3 2025 Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results and Update on Current Trading
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Allwyn International AG has announced its preliminary unaudited financial results for the three months ended 30 September 2025 and provided an update on recent developments and current trading.
Highlights
• Good top-line growth momentum and landmark strategic transactions
• Net Revenue of €1023 million, +5% YoY
• Adjusted EBITDA of €374 million, -8% YoY, primarily reflecting customer-friendly sports results and non-operating items at Betano, and higher corporate costs following simplification of group structure in prior year
• Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA of 2.3x as of 30 September 2025
• Agreement to acquire majority stake in PrizePicks, the leading daily fantasy sports operator in North America
• Post quarter end, announced planned all-share combination of Allwyn and OPAP, creating the second largest listed lottery and gaming operator globally.
Robert Chvatal, Allwyn CEO, said: “I am pleased to report another quarter of solid financial performance and transformative strategic initiatives, as we continue to execute our growth strategy.
Net Revenue increased 5% year-on-year in the third quarter, broadly in line with growth in the first half and especially pleasing given the strength of growth in the same quarter last year. This performance reflects continued delivery on our digital growth strategy, with online Net Gaming Revenue up 8% year-on-year, and the unwavering commitment of our teams to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
We achieved good profitability growth across the majority of our businesses in the quarter, benefiting from continued top-line growth and a full quarter’s contribution from Instant Win Gaming, which we acquired last year and continues to perform very well; however, this was offset by several specific headwinds in the quarter, including exceptionally customer-friendly sports results affecting performance of Betano (reported as an equity method investee) and, as we also noted in the first half of the year, higher Corporate costs following last year’s simplification of the group structure.
We are also delighted and excited to have announced two landmark transaction that significantly advance our growth strategy and strengthen our position as a global leader in lottery and gaming.
First, in September we agreed to acquire a majority stake in PrizePicks, the leading daily fantasy sports operator in North America. This transaction marks our entry into the fast-growing U.S. online sports entertainment market. PrizePicks has a track record of strong growth, profitability, and cash generation, supported by an innovative platform that has made it the clear leader in its category. Its engaging product offering, proprietary technology and strong brand are genuinely differentiated, and position us to capture long-term growth opportunities in this dynamic segment of the very substantial and dynamic U.S. market.
Second, in October we announced the planned combination of Allwyn and OPAP to create the second largest listed lottery and gaming operator globally. This transaction is the logical next step in our long-standing stewardship of OPAP, which has delivered very significant shareholder returns to Allwyn and the other shareholders of OPAP since our initial investment in 2013. It safeguards the long term value of OPAP in a rapidly evolving gaming environment and enables OPAP’s public shareholders to benefit from Allwyn’s unique platform, including growth, scale, diversification, access to leading technology and digitalisation, and a developing global brand, while continuing to benefit from substantial and resilient cash returns. For Allwyn, this represents the natural next milestone in our journey, with a public market listing expanding our capital markets access to equity markets and elevating the profile of Allwyn’s global platform.
We are also pleased to have begun our rollout of Allwyn as a consumer-facing brand, beginning in the Czech Republic and Greece. This is the start of our long-term strategy to introduce the Allwyn brand as the key consumer facing brand across our markets. We see the introduction of a single brand as an important enabler of our growth strategy, allowing us to connect with new audiences in new and existing markets and to achieve marketing synergies across the group. Finally, in November, we successfully syndicated a USD 1.5bn financing for the acquisition of PrizePicks. This included a USD 1bn institutional term loan B, our largest offering to date in this market, demonstrating continued investor support for the Allwyn credit and confidence in our outlook.
Our progress so far this year reinforces the strength of our proven strategy and, looking forward, we are well prepared to deliver the next phase of our growth story and further strategic progress.”

Financial reports
ZEAL continues its path of success in the first half of 2025 and records growth in customer base and profitability
- Revenue increases by 32 percent to € 101.5 million
- EBITDA rises by 76 percent to € 35.4 million
- Number of monthly active customers for lotteries grows by 12 percent to 1.515 thousand
- Gross margin from lotteries improves to 17.3 percent
ZEAL Network SE, Germany’s leading online provider of lottery products, recorded substantial and sustainable growth in key performance indicators in the first half of 2025. Group revenue increased by 32 percent to € 101.5 million in the first six months of the year (2024: € 76.8 million). EBITDA rose by 76 percent to € 35.4 million (2024: € 20.1 million).
“We once again achieved strong results in the first half of 2025. ZEAL’s continued growth path proves that our business model is highly robust and scalable over the long term,” commented Helmut Becker, CEO of ZEAL. “We are in an excellent position to further expand our market leadership in a growing industry.”
Andrea Behrendt, CFO of ZEAL, added: “Our half-year results are a true team success – especially given that the jackpot situation was rather weak compared to the previous year. Challenging market conditions particularly underscore our operational excellence. The significant increases in revenue and EBITDA were driven by further expansion of our customer base and profitability.”
Lottery Business Revenue Grows by 34 Percent
The strong performance of the lottery business was the key driver of ZEAL’s significant revenue growth in the first half of the year. Despite lower average jackpot levels for LOTTO 6aus49 and Eurojackpot compared to the prior-year period, lottery billings increased by 4 percent to € 527.3 million (2024: € 507.1 million).
Thanks to continued successful marketing initiatives, the average number of active customers per month (MAU) rose by 12 percent to 1,515 thousand (2024: 1,353 thousand).
Additionally, ZEAL was able to improve the gross margin by 3.8 percentage points to 17.3 percent (2024: 13.4 percent), driven by a price increase implemented in the previous year and a changed product mix.
The simultaneous increase in billings and gross margin resulted in a significant 34 percent rise in lottery business revenue to € 91.0 million (2024: € 68.0 million).
Games Segment Grows by 49 Percent
The Games segment also continued its strong development in the first half of the year. ZEAL expanded its B2C games portfolio to more than 480 titles and increased revenue in the Games segment by 49 percent to € 6.7 million (2024: € 4.5 million).
Significant Increases in EBITDA and EBIT
Challenging jackpot conditions in the first half of 2025 made new customer acquisition more difficult. Nonetheless, ZEAL continued to invest heavily in sustained growth, acquiring 499 thousand new customers (2024: 592 thousand).
Intensive marketing efforts led to an increase in acquisition costs per new customer (Cost per Lead, CPL) by 41 percent to € 46.93 (2024: € 33.20).
Other operating expenses rose by 15 percent to € 49.4 million (2024: € 42.8 million).
In addition to strategic marketing spend—which increased by 14 percent to € 29.1 million (2024: € 25.5 million)—this was primarily due to higher direct and indirect operating costs. The ongoing development of the product mix led to an increase in direct operating costs by 14 percent to € 9.8 million (2024: € 8.6 million). Indirect operating costs increased by 20 percent to € 10.4 million (2024: € 8.7 million), driven in particular by external consulting services, freelance personnel, and software expenses.
Through efficiency gains and the scalability of its business model, ZEAL was able to increase EBITDA disproportionately to revenue—by 76 percent to € 35.4 million (2024: € 20.1 million). EBIT nearly doubled year-on-year, reaching € 31.1 million (2024: € 16.1 million).
Based on the strong results of the first half of 2025, ZEAL confirms the forecast published on March 26, 2025.
