DraftKings Reports Fourth Quarter Revenue Growth of 43%

BOSTON, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ:DKNG) ("DraftKings" or the "Company") today announced its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 financial results. The Company also posted a letter to shareholders and an earnings presentation on the Investor Relations section of its website at investors.draftkings.com.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, DraftKings reported revenue of $1,989 million, an increase of $596 million, or 43%, compared to $1,393 million during the same period in 2024. The increase in the Company's fourth quarter 2025 revenue was driven primarily by continued healthy customer engagement, efficient acquisition of new customers, and higher Sportsbook net revenue margin.

"We closed 2025 on a high note. Fourth quarter revenue increased 43% year-over-year and we achieved records for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Our core business is strong as we enter 2026," said Jason Robins, DraftKings' Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder. "We also see a massive, incremental opportunity in DraftKings Predictions. We plan to deploy growth capital to build the best customer experience in Predictions, and acquire millions of customers. We have the playbook to execute and win."

"We are proud to have generated positive net income in fiscal year 2025. For the year, we increased revenue 27% to above $6 billion, continued to grow Adjusted EBITDA, and repurchased 16 million shares," said Alan Ellingson, DraftKings' Chief Financial Officer. "We have built an efficient and powerful business model and are excited to share more detail at our virtual Investor Day on March 2nd."

Continued Healthy Growth in Customer Retention, Acquisition, and Engagement

• Monthly Unique Payers ("MUPs") was unchanged year-over year at 4.8 million average monthly unique paying customers in the fourth quarter of 2025. Excluding Jackpocket, MUPs increased 5% compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting strong unique payer retention and acquisition across DraftKings' Sportsbook and iGaming product offerings.
  
  
  
  
• Average Revenue per MUP ("ARPMUP") was $139 in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 43% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher net revenue margin across both Sportsbook and iGaming.
  
  
  
  
• Detailed financial data and other information for the fourth quarter of 2025 is available in the financial statements set forth below under the caption "Financial Results."
  
  
  
  

Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance

• DraftKings is introducing a fiscal year 2026 revenue guidance range of $6.5 billion to $6.9 billion and a fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $700 million to $900 million. The Company's guidance ranges reflect expected investment in DraftKings Predictions, line-of-sight jurisdictions launches, and disciplined planning as business conditions evolve. The Company assumes state tax rates will remain consistent with where they are today.
  
  
  
  
• The Company's guidance ranges for fiscal year 2026 exclude potential variance related to sport outcomes and therefore does not include the modest benefit from year-to-date sport outcomes.
  
  
  
  

Mobile Sports Betting and iGaming Footprint

• DraftKings is live with mobile sports betting in 26 states and Washington, D.C., which collectively represent approximately 52% of the U.S. population.
  
  
  
  
• DraftKings is also live with iGaming in 5 states, which collectively represent approximately 11% of the U.S. population.
  
  
  
  
• DraftKings is live with its Sportsbook and iGaming products in Ontario, Canada, which represents approximately 40% of Canada's population.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that DraftKings uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are useful in evaluating its operating performance, similar to measures reported by its publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share 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.

DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income or expense (net), income tax provision or benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below.

DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as basic or diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders adjusted for the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets; discrete tax benefits attributed to acquisitions; stock-based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below.

DraftKings includes these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate the Company's core operating performance and trends and to make decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with GAAP because they are non-recurring items (for example, in the case of transaction-related costs and advocacy and other related legal expenses), non-cash expenditures (for example, in the case of depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation) or non-operating items which are not related to the Company's underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest income and expense and litigation, settlement and related costs).

The unaudited table below presents the Company's Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to its net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, for the periods indicated:

(2) In 2025, the Company recorded a discrete income tax benefit of $14.6 million, which was attributable to non-recurring partial releases of the Company's U.S. valuation allowance as a result of the purchase accounting for Railbird.

(8) Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Company began applying an estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate, which is 23% as of December 31, 2025. The non-GAAP effective tax rate reflects the non-GAAP tax provision commensurate with the Company's level of non-GAAP profitability, which was determined after adjusting for the non-GAAP adjustments presented above and excluding the impact of changes in the valuation allowance.</sup>

Information reconciling forward-looking fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), is unavailable to DraftKings without unreasonable effort due to, among other things, certain items required for such reconciliation being outside of DraftKings' control and/or not being able to be reasonably predicted. Preparation of such reconciliation would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. DraftKings provides a range for its Adjusted EBITDA forecast that it believes will be achieved; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it can predict all of the components of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation. DraftKings provides a forecast for Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with DraftKings' results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity.
