Revenue

Total revenue for the second quarter was €318 million, up €39 million, or 14% year-over-year, driven by 12% growth in Betting Technology & Solutions and 22% growth in Sports Content, Technology & Services.

Betting Technology & Solutions revenues of €259 million were up 12% year-over-year primarily driven by a 10% increase in Betting & Gaming Content due to both existing and new customer uptake of our products, as well as strong U.S. market growth. Managed Betting Services revenues of €59 million were up 21% driven by strong growth in Managed Trading Services from increased turnover and higher trading margins.

Sports Content, Technology & Services revenues of €59 million increased 22% year-over-year primarily driven by 16% growth in Marketing & Media Services, due to increased spending from technology and media companies and from contributions related to our expanded affiliate marketing capabilities. Integrity Services revenues nearly doubled in the quarter driven by uptake of products and services from league partners, and Sports Performance revenues increased 24% largely due to increased pricing.

The Company generated strong revenue growth globally with the United States up 30% and Rest of World up 9%. As a percentage of total Company revenues, United States revenue represented 28% of total Company revenue in the second quarter as compared to 24% in the prior year quarter, due to continued market growth and customer uptake of our premium content and solutions.

Customer Net Retention Rate of 117% further demonstrates our ability to cross sell and up sell to our clients, as well as the market growth in the United States.

Profit for the period

Profit for the period was €49 million, up €51 million, compared to a loss of €2 million in the same quarter a year ago, driven by strong operating results and a foreign currency gain of €54 million, as compared to a €8 million loss last year, due to unrealized currency fluctuations mainly associated with the U.S. dollar-denominated sport rights. These increases were partially offset by higher income tax expense of €12 million as compared to €1 million last year due to higher pre-tax income.

Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was €64 million, up €15 million, or 31% compared to €49 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase was largely driven by the 14% revenue growth, partially offset by increased sport rights costs primarily related to the continued success of the ATP partnership deal and our renewed partnership with Major League Baseball, as well as increased adjusted personnel expenses¹ to support growth initiatives and higher adjusted purchased services¹ driven by investments in developing our product portfolio.

Business Highlights

• Strengthened partnership with German Bundesliga to further entertain the league’s more than one billion global fans. Bundesliga will leverage Sportradar’s cutting edge innovations and suite of immersive products including player markets, 4Sight streaming and live match tracker, enhancing the in-game experience.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were €312 million as of June 30, 2025, as compared with €348 million as of December 31, 2024. Higher net cash generated from operating activities of €200 million due to strong operating performance was offset by higher net cash used in investing activities of €118 million primarily from payments related to sport rights licenses, and from higher net cash used in financing activities of €93 million. Financing activities included $65.5 million in share repurchases related to the secondary offering and a €10 million payment related to the acquisition of the remaining non-controlling interest in a subsidiary. Free cash flow for the six-months ended June 30, 2025 was €84 million, an increase of €25 million from €59 million in the same period a year ago.

Including an undrawn credit facility, the Company had total liquidity of €532 million at June 30, 2025, as compared to €568 as of December 31, 2024, and no debt outstanding.

Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden, has unveiled its latest instant win title: Bass Rewards. Packed with colourful fish and serious prize potential, the game takes players on the fishing trip of a lifetime.

In Bass Rewards, every catch counts – inviting players to bait their hook and fish for fortune across a grid swimming with characterful catch. From black and blue minnows to sparkling gold giants, each fish type brings its own payout range and a chance to trigger one of several bonus features.

When triggered, the Frenzy feature gives players the chance to cast the Net three times, collecting the value of all fish symbols on screen with each throw for a series of satisfying payouts. For those chasing even bigger thrills, Super Frenzy raises the stakes by applying a multiplier to the total value of all collected fish. The rare Golden Net can appear at the end of a Frenzy or Super Frenzy round, awarding an additional three Nets and offering the most lucrative collection potential of all.

Adding to the excitement is the elusive Instant-Win treasure chest, which can be hooked at random to trigger one of several surprise prizes, including Mini, Minor, Major, Mega, Grand and Super rewards, each offering increasingly valuable multipliers. It’s a mechanic designed to keep players engaged with every spin.

It’s full of colour and those unexpected moments that bring a real sense of fun to the experience; whether you’re chasing a chest or triggering a Frenzy.”

The game is available in over 25 languages and offers multiple RTP configurations (97.00%, 94.00%, and 92.00%), along with a Buy Feature option for players looking to dive straight into the action. With light volatility and a dynamic feature set, Bass Rewards is primed to engage both new and experienced players across regulated markets.
