SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue
Total revenue for the second quarter was EUR378 million, up EUR60 million, or 19% year-over-year, driven by 21% growth in Betting Technology & Solutions and 9% growth in Sports Content, Technology & Services.
Betting Technology & Solutions revenues of EUR314 million were up 21% year-over-year primarily driven by a 27% increase in Betting & Gaming Content reflecting contributions related to the acquisition of IMG ARENA and new customer uptake of the Company's products and services. Revenue growth was partially offset by moderating U.S. market growth and unfavorable foreign currency movements. Managed Betting Services revenues were in line with the prior year as higher Managed Trading Services revenues due to higher turnover and trading margins were offset by lower platform revenues.
Sports Content, Technology & Services revenues of EUR64 million increased 9% year-over-year primarily driven by a 16% increase in Marketing & Media Services due to contributions from new and existing media and technology customers, as well as increased affiliate marketing spending, partially offset by decreased revenue from our Sports Performance business principally due to foreign currency movements.
The Company generated strong revenue growth globally with Rest of World up 20% and the United States up 16%. Foreign currency movements, particularly due to the U.S. dollar relative to the euro, continue to negatively impact earnings. As a percentage of total Company revenues, United States revenue represented 27% of total Company revenue in the second quarter as compared to 28% in the prior year quarter with customer uptake of our premium content and solutions partially offset by slower market growth and foreign currency fluctuations.
Loss for the period
Loss for the period was EUR4 million, down EUR53 million, compared to a profit of EUR49 million in the same quarter a year ago, as the Company's strong operating results were more than offset primarily by a foreign currency loss of EUR9 million versus a gain of EUR54 million in the same period a year ago. This was due principally to unrealized currency fluctuations mainly associated with U.S. dollar-denominated sports rights. The second quarter of 2026 also included severance costs related to cost efficiency initiatives and lower income taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA
Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was EUR76 million, up EUR12 million, or 19%, compared to EUR64 million in the same quarter in 2025. The increase was largely driven by the 19% revenue growth as well as lower adjusted personnel costs, partially offset by the inclusion of costs related to IMG ARENA, most notably sport rights.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Company's cash and cash equivalents were EUR251 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared with EUR365 million as of December 31, 2025. Net cash generated from operating activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2026 of EUR226 million was partially offset by net cash used in investing activities of EUR122 million, primarily from payments related to sport rights licenses, and by net cash used in financing activities of EUR222 million. Financing activities included EUR217 million in share repurchases. Free cash flow for the six-months ended June 30, 2026 was EUR103 million, an increase of EUR19 million, or 23%, from EUR84 million in the same period in 2025.
On April 30, 2026, the Company amended its existing EUR220 million revolving credit facility by, among other things, increasing total commitments to EUR250 million and extending the maturity date to May 20, 2031, while significantly reducing undrawn and drawn borrowing fees. Including the undrawn credit facility, the Company had total liquidity of EUR501 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared to EUR585 million as of December 31, 2025, and no debt outstanding.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Operating Metric
We have provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with IFRS, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Constant Currency metrics, Adjusted purchased services, Adjusted personnel expenses, Adjusted other operating expenses, Free cash flow, and Free cash flow conversion, as well as our operating metric, Customer Net Retention Rate. We use these non-IFRS financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to IFRS measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors.
Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.
-- "Adjusted EBITDA" represents earnings for the period adjusted for finance
income and finance costs, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation and
amortization (excluding amortization of capitalized sport rights
licenses), foreign currency gains or losses, and other items that are
non-recurring or not related to the Company's revenue-generating
operations, including share-based compensation, restructuring costs,
non-routine litigation costs, secondary offering costs, and certain
transaction-related costs.License fees relating to sport rights are a key
component of how we generate revenue and one of our main operating
expenses. Only licenses that meet the recognition criteria of IAS 38 are
capitalized. The primary distinction for whether a license is capitalized
or not capitalized is the contracted length of the applicable license.
Therefore, the type of license we enter into can have a significant
impact on our results of operations depending on whether we are able to
capitalize the relevant license. As such, our presentation of Adjusted
EBITDA reflects the full costs of our sport rights licenses. Management
believes that, by including amortization of sport rights in its
calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the result is a financial metric that is
both more meaningful and comparable for management and our investors
while also being more indicative of our ongoing operating performance.We
present Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that some items
excluded are non-recurring in nature and this information is relevant in
evaluating the results relative to other entities that operate in the
same industry. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors
for evaluating Sportradar's operating performance against competitors,
which commonly disclose similar performance measures. However,
Sportradar's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
other similarly titled performance measures of other companies. Adjusted
EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for any IFRS financial
measure.Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include significant
components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered
in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for, profit for
the period, revenue or other financial statement data presented in our
consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our IFRS
results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplemental measure.
-- "Adjusted EBITDA margin" is the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to revenue.The
Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to
profit (loss) for the period, or Adjusted EBITDA margin to Profit (loss)
for the period as a percentage of revenue (in each case, the most
directly comparable IFRS financial measure) on a forward-looking basis
without unreasonable effort because items that impact these IFRS
financial measures are not within the Company's control and/or cannot be
reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to,
foreign exchange gains and losses. Such information may have a
significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company's
future financial results.
-- "Constant Currency" information compares results between periods as if
exchange rates had remained constant. As the impact of exchange rate
fluctuations can be highly variable, we believe these metrics, unaffected
by exchange rate variability, provide meaningful insights to investors
into our operational performance and underlying business trends.The
Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of constant currency
measures to their comparable IFRS measures on a forward-looking basis
without unreasonable effort because future exchange-rate movements that
impact these measures are not within the Company's control and/or cannot
be reasonably predicted. Such information may have a significant, and
potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company's future financial
results.
We present Adjusted purchased services, Adjusted personnel expenses, and Adjusted other operating expenses (together, "Non-IFRS expenses") because management utilizes these financial measures to manage its business on a day-to-day basis and believes that they are the most relevant measures of expenses. Management believes these adjusted expense measures provide expanded insight to assess revenue and cost performance, in addition to the standard IFRS-based financial measures. Management believes these adjusted expense measures are useful to investors for evaluating Sportradar's operating performance against competitors. However, Sportradar's calculation of adjusted expense measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled performance measures of other companies. These adjusted expense measures are not intended to be a substitute for any IFRS financial measure.
-- "Adjusted purchased services" represents purchased services less
capitalized external development costs and certain transaction-related
costs.
-- "Adjusted personnel expenses" represents personnel expenses less
share-based compensation awarded to employees, restructuring costs, and
capitalized personnel compensation.
-- "Adjusted other operating expenses" represents other operating expenses
plus impairment loss on trade receivables, less non-routine litigation,
share-based compensation awarded to third parties, secondary offering
costs, and certain transaction-related costs.
We consider Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion to be liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchase of property and equipment, the purchase of intangible assets and payment of lease liabilities, which can then be used, among other things, to invest in our business and make strategic acquisitions, as well as our ability to convert our earnings to cash. A limitation of the utility of Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion as measures of liquidity is that they do not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for the year.
-- "Free cash flow" represents net cash from operating activities adjusted
for payments for lease liabilities, acquisition of property and equipment,
and acquisition of intangible assets.
-- "Free cash flow conversion" represents Free cash flow as a percentage of
Adjusted EBITDA.
The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Free cash flow to net cash from operating activities or Free cash flow conversion to net cash from operating activities as a percentage of profit (loss) for the period (in each case, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure) on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact these IFRS financial measures are not within the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to, changes in working capital, the timing of customer payments, the timing and amount of tax payments, and other items that are non-recurring or unusual. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company's future financial results.
In addition, we define the following operating metric as follows:
-- "Customer Net Retention Rate" is calculated for a given period by
starting with the reported Trailing Twelve Month revenue from our top 200
customers as of twelve months prior to such period end, or prior period
revenue. We then calculate the reported trailing twelve-month revenue
from the same customer cohort as of the current period end, or current
period revenue. Current period revenue includes any upsells and is net of
contraction and attrition over the trailing twelve months but excludes
revenue from new customers in the current period. We then divide the
total current period revenue by the total prior period revenue to arrive
at our Net Retention Rate.
