Full year 2025
guidance10,11 highlights
(see further detail included on page 9):
2025 has started well. In the US, handle growth
stepped up from Q4 levels, with overall underlying trends in line
with our expectations. Sports results have been broadly neutral
year-to-date with a positive outcome on Super Bowl LIX offset by
customer friendly sports results in January. Performance outside
the US reflects the strong Q4 customer base carried into Q1.
Full year guidance introduced below represents
year-over-year growth at the midpoint of 13% revenue and 34%
Adjusted EBITDA and includes the following expectations:
US: existing state growth is expected to be
in-line with Investor Day commentary. This growth is from a larger
underlying business in 2024 than originally outlined at our
Investor Day, driven by greater than anticipated growth subsequent
to that event:
- Existing state
revenue and Adjusted EBITDA expected mid-points of $7.72bn and
$1.4bn, representing year-over-year growth of 33% and 176%
respectively (22.5% revenue growth and 5.4 percentage points of
Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion on a normalized basis12)
|
- New state and
territory launches are expected to result in negative revenue of
$40m and an Adjusted EBITDA cost of $90m, based on a Q4 launch for
Missouri and an early 2026 launch now expected for Alberta,
Canada
|
|
Group ex-US:
- Revenue and
Adjusted EBITDA expected mid-points of $8.25bn and $1.85bn which
are in line with 2024 and represent growth of 6% and 10%
respectively, after adjusting for foreign currency headwinds at
current spot rates11 and the gross sports results benefit in 2024.
Guidance excludes the NSX and Snai acquisitions which are on track
for completion in Q2 2025
|
|
Peter Jackson, CEO, commented:
I am proud of the progress we made during 2024
as we delivered against our strategic priorities and enhanced our
leadership positions.
FanDuel remains America’s number one sportsbook
with its leading product maintaining a clear structural revenue
margin advantage over competitors. At the same time, excellent
execution secured a new number one spot for FanDuel Casino in
iGaming.
Outside of the US, our commitment to
first-to-market product innovation led to market share gains in key
markets including the UK and Italy, while in Australia, we saw
encouraging trends in our player base.
A key driver of our success has been the Flutter
Edge, our unique competitive advantage, which delivered innovative,
market-leading product propositions to 35m customers worldwide in
2024. We did this sustainably, with players using a Play Well tool
increasing since 2023. The launch of the Responsible Online Gaming
Association in the US was another big milestone, advancing industry
standards for both customers and operators.
Thanks to our scale and cash generation, we are
an “And” business, with powerful optionality when deploying
capital. This is clearly demonstrated by our commitment to
long-term shareholder returns through our share repurchase program,
and evident in our expansion into fast-growing markets with the
announcement of our acquisitions of NSX in Brazil and Snai in
Italy.
We have had a great start to 2025, including
record levels of customer engagement for the Super Bowl where
FanDuel had 3m active customers placing 17.7m bets with $470m
wagered on the day. I am excited to build on this strong momentum
as we seize the growth opportunities outlined at our Investor Day
last September.
Q4 24 Operating Review
US:
FanDuel was the number one sports betting and
iGaming operator during the quarter with GGR market shares of 43%
and 26%, respectively.
Our market-leading product proposition delivered
strong customer engagement with another quarter of increased player
frequency. AMPs were 15% higher year-over-year. New customer
activations were lower on a year-over-year basis with the prior
comparable period benefitting from the launch in Kentucky in Q3.
However, customer economics in-market exceeded our expectations and
remained compelling for both sportsbook and iGaming. We continued
to invest, with payback periods of less than 18 months and
remaining well under our 24-month threshold as we build a bigger
business for the future.
Pre-2022 state7 growth remains strong with
online revenue +9%, despite the significant adverse NFL sports
results impact. As expected, handle growth moderated from previous
quarters to 12%. This reflected a combination of factors including
an additional round of NFL games in the prior comparable quarter
and continued migration of customer spend to higher-revenue margin,
but lower-handle Same Game Parlay products.
Product leadership is core to FanDuel’s success.
In sportsbook, we leveraged our leading proprietary pricing and
risk management capabilities to deliver a 100 basis point increase
in our structural gross revenue margin to 14.5%, underpinned by a
500 basis point increase in NFL parlay penetration. This expansion
was driven by continuous innovation and improvement of our already
market-leading proposition. We added new live betting features as
we executed our strategy to deliver a more immersive live
experience. We also expanded our market offering and added more
customizable generosity options. Our revolutionary Your Way product
which gives customers greater ability to customize their parlay
choices, was rolled out to all states for NFL during the quarter.
While it is still early days in the evolution of the product, we
have been pleased with player engagement.
iGaming AMPs grew 37%, including a 59% increase
in direct casino AMPs, driven by delivery of new features and
content. Launches included new exclusive slots titles such as
Samurai 888 Kenji, alongside sports-themed slots content such as
NBA Super Slam to help drive sportsbook cross-sell. We also
improved our iGaming reward proposition with the introduction of a
new jackpot functionality on FanDuel’s daily prize mechanic,
FanDuel Reward Machine, as well as trialing our new FanDuel Rewards
Club loyalty program.
We exited the year with a strong leadership
position, underpinned by unparalleled scale and product innovation,
which positions us exceptionally well for 2025.
Group Ex-US:
Group ex-US delivered a strong quarter aided by
the benefits of our diversified and scaled portfolio. Excellent
momentum in key markets including UKI, Italy and India more than
offset the impact of the known softer racing market in
Australia.
The UKI division has taken four percentage
points of market share over the last two years by delivering a
compelling product proposition for players. In sportsbook, Paddy
Power expanded the range of markets on its SuperSub product,
leveraging our leading pricing capabilities. This drove a 5
percentage point increase in Same Game Parlay penetration as a
proportion of total soccer handle in Q4 compared to the prior year,
and helped increase our structural gross revenue margin. This was
complemented by Paddy Power’s very successful sponsorship of the
World Darts Championship during the busy Christmas sporting
calendar, which included the Bigger 180 campaign which raised over
$1.25m for Prostate Cancer UK. In iGaming, compelling promotions
combined with our leading free-to-play content, such as the Sky
Vegas Guaranteed Prize Machine, drove iGaming AMPs 13% higher to a
record 2.4 million in Q4.
In International, Sisal’s market share was up
230bps year-over-year to 15.0% (Flutter Italy market share
21.4%)13, leveraging the combination of Sisal’s local capabilities
and the Flutter Edge. Sisal’s compelling omnichannel offering
helped drive very strong online player growth of 33%. Multi-channel
players generate over 1.5 times more online revenue than
online-only players and we look forward to accessing a broader
retail player base with the expected addition of Snai in 2025.
Sisal’s poker product offering was enhanced through access to the
PokerStars poker liquidity pool, further demonstrating the benefits
of the Flutter Edge. In India, Junglee lapped the effect of the tax
changes introduced in October 2023. Junglee has delivered strong
player growth throughout this period with 2024 AMPs 72% higher on a
year-over-two-year basis.
In Australia we delivered another quarter of AMP
growth, up 7% to 1.3m following similarly positive trends in prior
quarters. While the racing market declined in line with
expectations, we saw strong engagement on sports including NRL, NBA
and NFL, with our leading product offering also delivering
sustained improvements to structural gross revenue margin.

The Group delivered a strong Q4 with AMP1 and
revenue growth of 7% and 14% respectively, despite the impact of
significant customer friendly sports results in the US. The
addition of MaxBet added two percentage points to Group revenue
growth.
The Group reported net income of $156m compared
to a net loss of $902m in Q4 2023. Q4 2024 net income is after
non-cash impacts of (i) a loss in the fair value of the Fox Option
liability of $212m (Q4 2023 $66m loss) and (ii) a charge relating
to the amortization of acquired intangibles of $134m (Q4 2023:
$205m). The net loss incurred during Q4 2023 included an impairment
charge relating to the PokerStars brand of $725m5.
Unallocated corporate overhead14 represents
typical corporate costs in addition to Flutter Edge investment
costs to both drive product innovation and optimize the efficiency
of the services we provide across the Group. The 12% cost increase
in Q4 was driven by both Flutter Edge investment to enhance our
pricing capabilities in global sports, such as tennis, and office
relocation costs.
Adjusted EBITDA2,3 of $655m grew 4% reflecting
strong underlying US, UKI and International revenue growth,
although this was partly offset by the impact of adverse sports
results in the US. Year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth also
included the impact of increased taxes in the US (Illinois) and
Australia (Victoria) from July 1, 2024, and anticipated softer
racing market trends in Australia.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for both US and Group
Ex-US reduced by 180bps primarily as a result of the factors above.
(Group Ex-US constant currency Adjusted EBITDA margin -140bps).
Earnings per share improved by $5.59 to $0.45
due to a tax credit on historic US tax losses and the prior year
impairment charge. Adjusted EPS2 now adjusts for the impact of fair
value adjustments related to the Fox Option9 as well as other fair
value measurements included within other expense, net, and has been
restated for prior periods to reflect this change. Adjusted EPS
increased 67% to $2.94 mainly due to the tax credit.
The Group’s net cash provided by operating
activities in Q4 2024 increased by 67% to $652m from $391m while
Free Cash Flow2 was +175% higher, reflecting the significant
expansion in our player base and step up in Adjusted EBITDA
year-over-year.
Q4 2024 financial highlights: Segments
US Q4 revenue grew 14% driven
by AMP1 growth of 15% with sportsbook revenue +8% and iGaming
revenue +43%. This included continued online revenue growth in
pre-2022 states of 9% (sportsbook -7% and iGaming +40%)4.
Sportsbook revenue growth of 8% reflects the
impact of adverse sports results, with a 12% increase in handle
partly offset by a 30 bps reduction in net revenue margin to 6.7%.
As anticipated, handle growth moderated sequentially from Q2 and Q3
levels due to the factors set out in the Operating Review above,
combined with the timing of state launches in the current and prior
year.
Net revenue margin included: (i) a structural
revenue margin increase of 100 bps year-over-year to 14.5%, broadly
in line with expectations, delivered through our market-leading
product proposition and pricing (ii) an unfavorable sports results
impact of 150 bps year-over-year (Q4 2024: 390bps unfavorable, Q4
2023: 240bps unfavorable) or $643m in-quarter GGR/$550m NGR before
the estimated benefit of recycling, and (iii) promotional spend -20
bps year-over-year to 4.0%.
iGaming revenue grew 43% driven by AMPs +37% and
included continued strong growth on slots and live casino in
particular.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was $163m (Q4 2023 $168m) with
an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.1%. Cost of sales as a percentage
of revenue of 58.6% was 310 bps higher year-over-year primarily
driven by the impact of increased taxes in Illinois following the
change from July 1, 2024 and the impact of the adverse sports
results on revenue.
Sales and marketing expenses continued to
deliver operating leverage and reduced by 300 bps as a percentage
of revenue to 20.2%. Technology, research and development costs,
and general and administrative costs were broadly in-line with Q3
2024 at $69m and $108m respectively. Year-over-year growth was
driven by investment to scale our product and technology
capabilities and also reflects phasing of costs in the prior
year.
UKI had another strong quarter
with revenue growth of 20% (+17% on a constant currency basis15)
from an excellent performance in both sportsbook (+31%) and iGaming
(+16%).
Sportsbook net revenue margin increased 440bps
to 16.1% due to both favorable sports results (Q4 2024: 300bps
favorable, Q4 2023: 90bps unfavorable), primarily in the English
Premier League, and a 110bps structural revenue margin improvement
driven by the product innovation as described in the Operating
Review above. Sportsbook handle declined 4% reflecting both the
increased mix of higher revenue margin, lower handle Same Game
Parlay products and the recycling impact of the favorable
results.
iGaming revenue growth of 16% was driven by the
strong product proposition across all four of our UKI brands with
iGaming AMPs +13% in Q4.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 17% (+14% on a
constant currency basis), broadly in line with revenue growth
reflecting continued investment to grow our business, along with
the prior year phasing of general and administration expenses.
International revenue increased
20% (+23% on a constant currency basis) driven by strong momentum
in Sisal (+22%, +28% on a constant currency basis), the return of
Junglee to growth (+88%) as it lapped the tax changes introduced in
October 2023, and favorable sports results. MaxBet (acquired in
January 2024) added $58m in revenue in the quarter. AMP growth
moderated to 4% due to the high levels of player engagement during
the Cricket World Cup in Q4 2023.
Sportsbook revenue was 46% higher driven by a
20% growth in handle, aided by the MaxBet acquisition, and a 240bps
increase in net revenue margin. The margin movement reflected the
swing to favorable sports results in Q4 from the very unfavorable
results, most notably in Italy, in the comparable prior year
quarter (Q4 2024: 70bps favorable, Q4 2023: 260bps unfavorable).
iGaming revenue grew 14% (+18% on a constant currency basis) with
strong growth in Italy and India along with the addition of MaxBet
which added 7 percentage points to growth.
Consolidate and Invest8 markets accounted for
84% of International revenue in Q4 and grew 28% (+32% on a constant
currency basis) or 18% (+22% on a constant currency basis)
excluding the benefit of MaxBet. This reflected excellent constant
currency revenue growth in Italy (+16%, Sisal Italy online revenue
+41%), India (+91%), Turkey (+62%), Georgia (+31%) and Brazil
(+19%)15.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 15% or (+26% on a
constant currency basis). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 80bps lower at
19.7% due to legal costs in Q4 and the phasing of sales and
marketing expenses in the prior year.
Australia AMPs grew 7%
year-over-year while sportsbook revenue was 8% lower. Revenue
performance reflected a handle decline of 5% in line with
anticipated market trends, coupled with an adverse 60 basis point
year-over-year swing in sports results (Q4 2024 40 basis points
unfavorable, Q4 2023 20 basis points favorable). The adverse impact
from sports results was partially offset by continued expansion in
our structural revenue margin by 30bps to 17.9% driven by our
market-leading pricing and risk management capabilities. Adjusted
EBITDA was 35% lower (34% on a constant currency basis) driven by
the previously communicated impact from the increase in taxes in
Victoria and sports results noted above.
Capital structure
Total debt reduced by $320m to $6,736m at
December 31, 2024 from $7,056m at December 31, 2023. The Group is
now within its medium-term leverage2 target of 2.0-2.5x following
the $482m expansion in Adjusted EBITDA during 2024, which also
drove net debt $635m lower at December 31, 2024 to $5,160m
(December 31, 2023 $5,795m). The Group’s leverage ratio was 2.2x,
based on the last 12 months Adjusted EBITDA, a reduction of 0.9x
from 3.1x at December 31, 2023.
The share repurchase program commenced in
November 2024 with up to $5bn expected to be returned to
shareholders over the coming years. The first tranche of the
program commenced in November 2024 with 444,746 shares repurchased
in 2024 for $121m. In 2025, we expect to return approximately $1bn
to shareholders via the program.

Guidance above is based on existing segment disclosure
2025 has started well. In the US, handle
accelerated from Q4 levels, with overall underlying trends in line
with our expectations. Sports results have been broadly neutral
year-to-date with a positive outcome on Super Bowl LIX offset by
customer friendly sports results in January. Outside of the US
performance reflects the strong Q4 customer base carried into
Q1.
Full year Group guidance introduced below
represents year-over-year growth of 13% revenue and 34% Adjusted
EBITDA at the midpoint and reflects the following expectations:
US:
Existing states:
- Revenue and
Adjusted EBITDA mid-points of $7.72bn and $1.4bn, representing
year-over-year growth of 33% and 176% respectively
|
- This represents
revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 22.5% and
5.4 percentage points on a normalized basis12, in line with our
Investor Day commentary. This growth is from a larger underlying
business in 2024 driven by underlying growth following the
event
|
- From a phasing
perspective we expect 24-25% of 2025 revenue and 20% of 2025
Adjusted EBITDA to arise in Q1 with 60% of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA in
H2 and Q4 remaining our largest quarter

- New launches are
expected to result in negative revenue of $40m and an Adjusted
EBITDA cost of $90m, based on a Q4 launch for Missouri and an early
2026 launch now expected for Alberta, Canada
|
|
Group ex-US:
- Revenue and
Adjusted EBITDA mid-points of $8.25bn and $1.85bn are in line with
2024 and represent growth of 6% and 10% respectively after
adjusting for:
|
- Foreign currency headwind of $220m/3% for revenue and $50m/3% for
Adjusted EBITDA |
- Favorable sports results in 2024 (Gross revenue impact
$229m) |
- This excludes the
impact from the acquisition of NSX and Snai, which are on track for
completion in Q2 2025
|
|
Guidance is provided (i) on the basis that
sports results are in line with our expected margin for the
remainder of the year, (ii) at current foreign exchange rates11 and
(iii) on the basis of a consistent regulatory and tax framework
except where otherwise stated.
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.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission (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, Group Ex-US Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Net
Debt, Leverage Ratio, Constant Currency, Adjusted Net Income
Attributable to Flutter Shareholders and Adjusted Earnings/(Loss)
Per Share are non-GAAP financial measures. Beginning in Q4 2024
Flutter now adjusts the fair value impact of the Fox Option
liability9 and other fair value adjustments in Adjusted Net Income
Attributable to Flutter Shareholders and Adjusted Earnings/(Loss)
Per Share. 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. Beginning January 1, 2024,
the Group revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA, which is the
segment measure used to evaluate performance and allocate
resources. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA now excludes
share-based compensation as management believes inclusion of
share-based compensation can obscure underlying business trends as
share-based compensation could vary widely among companies due to
different plans in place resulting in companies using share-based
compensation awards differently, both in type and quantity of
awards granted. |
4. 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 December 31, 2024 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 December 31, 2024 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
December 31, 2024 was 27%. |
5. In Q4 2023 the Group
reported a $725m impairment of trademarks associated with the
PokerStars business reflecting Flutter’s “local hero” strategy and
PokerStars presence in lower growth markets. |
6. Payback is calculated as
the projected average length of time it takes players to generate
sufficient adjusted gross profit to repay the original average cost
of acquiring those players. Customer acquisition costs include the
marketing and associated promotional spend incurred to acquire a
customer. The projected adjusted gross profit is based on
predictive models considering inputs such as staking behavior,
interaction with promotional offers and gross revenue margin.
Projected adjusted gross profit includes associated variable costs
of revenue as well as retention generosity costs. |
7. Pre-2022 states: New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Colorado, Illinois,
Iowa, Michigan, Tennessee, Virginia, Arizona and Connecticut. |
8. Consolidate and Invest
markets within our International segment are Italy, Spain, Georgia,
Armenia, Serbia, Brazil, India, Turkey, Morocco, Bosnia &
Herzegovina and the US. |
9. 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 Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2025 for additional information
regarding The Fox Option. |
10. 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. |
11. Foreign exchange rates
assumed in forecasts for 2025 guidance are USD:GBP of 0.789,
USD:EUR of 0.953 and USD:AUD of 1.584. |
12. Normalized 2024 refers to
revenue and Adjusted EBITDA before accounting for the transitory
impact of sports results. The impact of sports results in 2024 is
comprised of a neutral sports results impact in Q1-Q3 and a revenue
and Adjusted EBITDA impact of $550m and $360m respectively in Q4 as
per our announcement dated January 7, 2025. The business saw an
estimated benefit from recycling in Q4 of approximately $50m
revenue which flowed through to $25m Adjusted EBITDA. After this
recycling benefit and specific cost mitigations in Q4 relating to
employee pay accruals and sales and marketing expenses, the impact
of sports results for 2024 was estimated to be revenue of $500m and
Adjusted EBITDA of $290m. |
13. Italian market position
and share based on regulator GGR data from Agenzia delle dogane e
dei Monopoli. |
14. Unallocated corporate
overhead includes shared technology, research and development,
sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses that
are not allocated to specific segments. |
15. Constant currency growth
rates are calculated by retranslating the non-US dollar denominated
component of Q4 2023 at Q4 2024 exchange rates. See reconciliation
on page 24. |
16. Capital expenditure is defined 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, Group Ex-US Adjusted EBITDA, Group Ex-US
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.
Group Ex-US Adjusted EBITDA is
defined as Group Adjusted EBITDA excluding our US Segment Adjusted
EBITDA.
Group Ex-US Adjusted EBITDA
Margin is Group Ex-US Adjusted EBITDA as a
percentage of Group revenue excluding our US Segment revenue.
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. Prior to Q4 2024 Adjusted Net Income Attributable to
Flutter Shareholders included the impact of 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.
From Q4 2024, Flutter amended the definition of
this measure to exclude for all fair value changes namely, i) Fair
value (loss) gain on derivative instruments, ii) Fair value gain on
contingent consideration, iii) Fair value (loss) gain on Fox Option
liability, and iv) Fair value loss on investment.
Management believes the change better reflects the operating
performance of our business as:
- Fair
value measurements are not indicative of our core operating
results;
|
-
Management does not have the ability to control or influence
changes in fair value; and
|
- The
change will align the definition of Adjusted Earnings (loss) per
share with the definition of adjusted EPS as defined in the
performance share units award granted to the Principal Executive
Officers and Named Executive Officers.
|
|
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, Group
Ex-US Adjusted EBITDA, 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.
