NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 04, 2026--
Super Group (SGHC) Limited $(SGHC)$ ("SGHC", the "Company" or "Super Group"), the parent company of Betway, a leading online sports betting and gaming business, and Spin, the multi-brand online casino, today announced its second quarter 2026 unaudited consolidated financial results.
Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer of Super Group, commented: "The second quarter generated record performance across Super Group, marking all-time highs in Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, deposits and wagering. While we maximized the commercial boost from the FIFA World Cup, these results once again demonstrate the core strength of our casino-led, diversified business model, disciplined execution, and highly durable customer base. In tandem with this momentum, we secured Betway's landmark partnership with Manchester United, further strengthening our global presence and growth ambitions. As we continue to invest in our brands, products, and technology, we remain confident in our ability to compound value for our shareholders."
Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer of Super Group, stated: "The quality of our business continues to be demonstrated in our financial performance, as we delivered another quarter of record revenue, profitability and cash generation. Revenue reached $684 million, an increase of 18% compared to the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 30% to $204 million with margin expanding to 30%. We ended the quarter with $548 million in cash, even after returning $25 million to shareholders during the quarter. Reflecting our confidence in the business, we are raising our full-year 2026 guidance to be greater than $2.6 billion of Total Revenue and more than $710 million of Adjusted EBITDA. This underscores our strong operational performance, disciplined market expansion, and the inherent leverage of our platform."
Financial Highlights:
-- Revenue for the Group increased by 18% to $684 million for the second
quarter of 2026 from $579 million in the same period of the prior year,
driven by growth from Africa, Europe and Rest of World.
-- Profit for the period was $123 million for the second quarter of 2026.
In comparison, loss for the period for the second quarter of 2025 was $3
million and included a non-cash charge of $63.9 million related to the
impairment of Digital Gaming Corporation Limited ("DGC") iGaming related
assets and $22.6 million relating to onerous contracts.
-- Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased by 30% to $204
million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $157 million in the
second quarter of 2025.
-- Monthly Active Customers increased by 13% to 6.2 million for the second
quarter of 2026, compared to 5.5 million in the second quarter of 2025.
-- Cash and cash equivalents were $548 million as of June 30, 2026
compared to $513 million at December 31, 2025.
-- Inflows from operating activities of $248 million.
-- Outflows from investing activities of $58 million. An amount of
$28 million (EUR24 million) was paid on March 31, 2026 in respect
of the Apricot sportsbook acquisition. The Group owns the software
from February 28, 2026, following the receipt of the final
regulatory approvals in February 2026. The remaining outflows
relate to the capitalization of costs relating to internally
developed intangible assets as well as cash extended for financial
assets.
-- Outflows from financing activities of $157 million, mainly due
to payment of dividends of $177 million during the half year ended
June 30, 2026 ,bringing the 12-month capital returns to $218
million. This was partially offset by proceeds of $25 million from
a drawdown on the revolving credit facility during Q1 2026.
-- A gain of $2 million as a result of foreign currency
fluctuations on foreign cash balances held over this period.
Guidance:
-- Super Group is raising its full-year 2026 Total Revenue and Adjusted
EBITDA guidance.
-- Total Revenue is now expected to be greater than $2.6 billion,
increasing from prior guidance of greater than $2.55 billion.
-- Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be greater than $710 million,
increasing from prior guidance of greater than $680 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes non-GAAP financial information not presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP company-specific performance measures that Super Group ("the Group") uses to supplement the Company's results presented in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA is defined as profit before depreciation, amortization, finance income, finance expense and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for unrealized foreign exchange, RSU expense and other adjustments.
Super Group believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Group's operating performance as they provide additional perspective on the financial performance of the Group's core business, are similar to measures reported by the Company's public competitors and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects.
Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Super Group's financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures together with IFRS results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with IFRS, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, IFRS results.
Reconciliation tables of the most comparable IFRS financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, and supplemental materials are included below. Super Group urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly named non-GAAP measures differently than we do, which limits their usefulness in comparing our financial results with theirs.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this press release are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, Super Group's intention to pay a dividend, including the expected timing of such dividend, expectations and projections of market opportunity, growth and profitability.

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: (i) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; (ii) changes in the competitive and regulated industries in which Super Group operates; (iii) variations in operating performance across competitors; (iv) changes in laws and regulations affecting Super Group's business; (v) Super Group's inability to meet or exceed its financial projections; (vi) changes in general economic conditions; (vii) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions, including abrupt or unexpected changes in interest rates or increases in inflation or inflationary expectations and reductions in discretionary consumer spending; (viii) the ability of Super Group's customers to deposit funds in order to participate in Super Group's gaming products; (ix) Super Group's ability, and the ability of Super Group's key executives, certain employees, significant shareholders or other applicable individuals, to comply with regulatory requirements or successfully obtain a license or permit required in a particular regulated jurisdiction, or maintain, renew or expand existing licenses; (x) the effectiveness of technological solutions Super Group has in place to block customers in certain jurisdictions, including jurisdictions where Super Group's business is illegal, or which are sanctioned by countries in which Super Group operates from accessing its offerings; (xi) Super Group's ability to restrict and manage betting limits at the individual customer level based on individual customer profiles and risk level to the enterprise; (xii) Super Group's ability to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights, the confidentiality of its trade secrets and confidential information, or the costs involved in protecting or enforcing Super Group's intellectual property rights and confidential information, and Super Group's ability to obtain new licenses and maintain, renew or expand existing licenses to use the intellectual property of third parties; (xiii) compliance with applicable data protection and privacy laws in Super Group's collection, storage and use, including sharing and international transfers, of personal data; (xiv) failures, errors, defects or disruptions in Super Group's information technology and other systems and platforms; (xv) Super Group's ability to develop new products, services, and solutions, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to its platform; (xvi) Super Group's ability to maintain and grow its market share, including its ability to enter new markets and acquire and retain paying customers; (xvii) the success, including win or hold rates, of existing and future online betting and gaming products; (xiii) competition within the broader entertainment industry; (xix) Super Group's reliance on strategic relationships with land based casinos, sports teams, event planners, local licensing partners and advertisers; (xx) events or media coverage relating to, or the popularity of, online betting and gaming industry; (xxi) trading, liability management and pricing risk related to Super Group's participation in the sports betting and gaming industry; (xxii) accessibility to the services of banks, credit card issuers and payment processing services providers due to the nature of Super Group's business; (xxiii) the regulatory approvals related to proposed acquisitions and the integration of the acquired businesses; and (xxiv) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time for Super Group including those under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 17, 2026, and in Super Group's other filings with the SEC. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in other documents filed or that may be filed by Super Group from time to time with the SEC.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Super Group assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Super Group does not give any assurance, representation or warranty that it will achieve its expectations in any specified time frame or at all.
