Q1 2025 overview

Continued Group earnings transformation underpinned by 8% AMP and revenue growth. Rapid scaling of US business helped drive Group net income +289% and adjusted EBITDA +20%
US: leadership position continues with revenue +18% including sportsbook +15% despite adverse March Madness sports results, and iGaming +32%. Adjusted EBITDA 5x higher to $161m from strong operating leverage
International: revenue and adjusted EBITDA broadly in line with prior year (constant currency³ revenue and EBITDA +3% and +2%, respectively) primarily driven by strong revenue growth in Southern Europe and Africa (SEA), Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), and UK and Ireland (UKI) iGaming, offsetting Asia Pacific (APAC) sportsbook
Earnings per share increased by $2.67, driven by Group earnings transformation and positive swing in Fox option liability⁴ year-over-year, with adjusted earnings per share +51%
Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow declined (net cash from operating activities -44%, free cash flow -52%) reflecting timing of quarter-end on player deposit liabilities year-over-year, which offset increase in cash generated through growth of the business

Full year 2025 guidance highlights (see further detail included on page 5)

Underlying trends overall have been in line with expectations and our 2025 outlook⁵ is therefore only updated to reflect (i) the impact since our Q4 earnings of US sports results⁶ and foreign currency movements⁷, and (ii) the anticipated contributions from Snai, completed on April 30, 2025, and NSX, expected to complete during May⁸. Together these acquisitions are expected to add $1.07bn in revenue and $120m in adjusted EBITDA to the Group's 2025 results.

Group revenue and adjusted EBITDA are now expected to be $17.08bn and $3.18bn at the midpoint representing 22% and 35% year-over-year growth, respectively (14% and 30% before including the benefit of Snai and NSX).

Peter Jackson, CEO, commented:

"I am pleased with the performance of the business during the first quarter, with the scaling of our US business driving a step change in the earnings profile of the Group.

FanDuel continues to win in the US, retaining leadership positions in both online sports betting and iGaming, while we saw a positive performance within International, where our scale and the competitive advantages of our Flutter Edge have been enhanced by the acquisition of Snai in Italy.

We are delivering against our strategic priorities, with clear optionality as an ‘and' business that can create significant value through a combination of organic growth, accretive M&A, and returns to shareholders. The global regulated market opportunity is significant, and Flutter remains uniquely positioned to win."

The Group delivered a strong start to the year with AMP¹ and revenue growth of 8%.

Net income of $335m compared to a net loss of $177m in Q1 2024, after non-cash impacts of (i) a gain in the fair value of the Fox Option liability⁴ of $205m (Q1 2024 $184m loss) and (ii) a charge relating to the amortization of acquired intangibles of $158m (Q1 2024: $172m).

Adjusted EBITDA of $616m grew 20% with adjusted EBITDA margin² 170bps higher primarily driven by the expansion of our US business.

Earnings per share improved by $2.67 driven by the earnings transformation of the Group and the positive swing in the Fox option liability year-over-year with adjusted earnings per share growing 51%.

The Group's net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow² decreased 44% and 52% respectively in Q1 2025. This was due to a swing in player deposit liabilities year-over-year arising as a result of the final day in Q1 2025 closing on a weekday, compared to closing during the weekend, when customers typically hold a greater amount of funds in their wallets, during Q1 2024. This more than offset the expansion of adjusted EBITDA within the Group.

US performance continued to reflect our strong US leadership position, with sports betting and iGaming GGR market shares of 43% and 27% in the quarter, and a 48% NGR sports betting share¹⁰.

Q1 revenue grew 18% driven by AMP¹ growth of 11% with sportsbook revenue up 15% and iGaming revenue up 32%.

The increase in sportsbook revenue was driven by handle growth of 8% (pre-2024 states¹¹ online handle +5%) and a net revenue margin increase of 50 basis points to 7.8%. Handle growth was in line with expectations with lower than expected basketball handle, offset by stronger growth on other sports. The increase in net revenue margin included:

Structural revenue margin +70bps to 14.1% driven by our market-leading pricing and risk-management capabilities delivering an increase in Same Game parlay penetration of 260bps across NFL and NBA
Adverse sports results year-over-year of 70 basis points (GGR $285m, revenue $230m) (Q1 2025: 200bps unfavorable, Q1 2024: 130bps unfavorable)
A year-over-year improvement in promotional spend of 50 basis points to 4.4% of handle as we lapped the impact of state launch investment in North Carolina in the prior year

iGaming revenue grew 32% driven by AMPs growth of 28% and underpinned by our continued focus on US direct casino customers.

Adjusted EBITDA was $161m (Q1 2024 $26m) with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.7%, up +790bps year-over-year. This reflected the sustained operating leverage progress we continue to see in our business. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue of 57.4% was 170bps lower year-over-year primarily reflecting the impact of increased North Carolina generosity investment in the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses also continued to deliver operating leverage and reduced by 750bps year-over-year as a percentage of revenue to 22.4%.

International revenue was 1% higher year-over-year (up 3% on a constant currency³ basis), underpinned by good AMP growth of 8%.

Sportsbook revenue was 2% lower (flat constant currency) reflecting 6% lower handle which was partially offset by a net revenue margin expansion of 50bps to 12.7%. Handle growth primarily reflected the increased mix of higher-revenue margin, lower-handle parlay products, and horse racing market trends in UKI and Australia. The net revenue margin expansion included:

Structural revenue margin improvement of 110bps to 16.9% driven by continued growth in Same Game Parlay products
Adverse year-over-year sports results of 10bps comprising favorable results year-over-year in SEA and UKI, and unfavorable results in APAC (Q1 2025: 20bps favorable, Q1 2024 30bps favorable)
Promotional spend increased by 50bps to 4.4% of handle with reinvestment of favorable UKI sports results partially offset by the benefit of increasingly sophisticated generosity application in APAC

iGaming growth of 4% year-over-year (up 7% on a constant currency basis) reflected AMP growth of 9%, driven by a strong performance in UKI and SEA.

Revenue performance across our International regions was as follows:

UKI revenue grew 2%. Sportsbook revenue was down 2% with a product-driven increase in structural gross win margin offset by the impact of lower horse racing handle in-line with market trends. iGaming grew 9% year-over-year driven by the roll out of premium and bespoke games
SEA revenue grew 14% from SEA AMP growth of 25% to 1.8m in the quarter. SEA sportsbook revenue growth of 27% reflected good underlying momentum combined with favorable sports results. iGaming revenue benefited from improved content to grow by 8%. SEA Italian revenue of $378m¹²was up 9% (sportsbook: $155m +27%, and iGaming: $222m in line year-over-year) with Turkey revenue growing 57% (or 84% in constant currency), driven by AMP growth
APAC revenue was 13% lower (8% on a constant currency basis) as strong iGaming growth in India of 45% was offset by 18% lower sportsbook revenues in Australia, where unfavorable sports results compounded the previously highlighted horse racing market softness
Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) revenue grew 15% primarily driven by strong performances in Georgia and Serbia
Brazil revenue was 44% lower (36% on a constant currency basis) reflecting the transitory impact of customer re-registration friction in the newly regulated market
Other regions revenue was 12% lower driven by the impact of market exits and regulatory change

Adjusted EBITDA reduced 1% (2% increase on a constant currency basis). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 50bps lower at 25.9%. This reflects cost of sales 60bps higher as a percentage of revenue year-over-year driven primarily by tax increases in CEE.

Unallocated corporate overhead⁶ increased by 75% year-over-year primarily due to a one-off $18m credit in the prior year relating to the settlement of historic litigation and a $6m incremental investment in Flutter Edge, revenue-driving initiatives in the current year.

Capital structure

Available cash remained unchanged quarter-on-quarter at approximately $1.5bn. The $88m increase in total debt to $6,824m at March 31, 2025 from $6,736m at December 31, 2024 was a function of prevailing foreign exchange rates on our Euro and Sterling denominated debt. Net debt was $5,329m at the end of Q1 2025, with a leverage ratio² of 2.2x based on the last 12 months adjusted EBITDA (2.2x at December 31, 2024). As per our announcement on April 30, 2025, the acquisition of Snai was completed using existing debt facilities 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, which commenced in November 2024 with up to $5bn expected to be returned to shareholders over the coming years, continued into 2025 with 891 thousand shares repurchased in the quarter for a consideration of $230m (of which $226m was paid in the quarter). We expect to return up to approximately $1bn of cash to shareholders via the program during 2025.

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, Free Cash Flow, net debt, leverage ratio, 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 document 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.	Constant currency growth rates are calculated by retranslating the non-US dollar denominated component of Q1 2024 at Q1 2025 exchange rates. See reconciliation on page 19.
4.	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. The Fox Option impact per share is calculated as the Fox Option impact during the reporting period divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares for the equivalent period (pre-tax). 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.
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.	Year to date sports results impact is $280m in revenue and $180m in adjusted EBITDA. The Q1 impact was $230m revenue and $150m of adjusted EBITDA primarily arising in March. The April impact was $50m in revenue and $30m in adjusted EBITDA. Both impacts include an estimate for the benefit of recycling.
7.	Foreign exchange rates assumed in year to go forecasts for 2025 guidance are per the prevailing rates on April 30 of USD:GBP of 0.746, USD:EUR of 0.878 and USD:AUD of 1.563.
8.	In the event either the acquisition of NSX does not complete or the completion is not within the stipulated timeline, by the end of May, guidance will be updated accordingly.
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.	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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2025 was 27%.
11.	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.
12.	In addition to Q1 Italian revenues of $378m reported with in SEA (including sports $155m and iGaming $222m) there was also $27m Italian revenues in the quarter generated across tombola (reported in UKI) and Betfair (reported in Other regions).
13.	Capital expenditure is defined as payments for the purchase of property and equipment, the purchase of intangible assets and capitalized software.

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, 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.

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.

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 shared-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.

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.
