“Since the start of Q3, Kambi has signed seven Turnkey Sportsbook partners, three Odds Feed+ deals and two partner renewals – a clear reflection of the commercial progress we are making” – says Werner Becher, CEO of Kambi Group
Financial highlights
- Revenue in the third quarter 2025 was €37.4m (43.0m), a decrease of 13.1%. Excluding €2.3m of transition fees received in Q3 2024, revenues decreased by 8.1%. For the period January to September 2025, revenues were €119.3m (132.0m), a decrease of 9.6%. Excluding €11.2m of transition fees received in the same period in 2024, revenues decreased by 1.2%.
- Adjusted EBITA (acq) in the quarter was €3.4m (4.9m), at a margin of 9.0% (11.4%). For the period January to September 2025, Adjusted EBITA (acq) was €9.4m (18.2m), at a margin of 7.9% (13.8%), and €10.3m (19.1m) excluding the impact of FX revaluations.
- Total expenses were €35.4m (39.4m) in the quarter, a decrease of 10.3%. For the period January to September 2025, total expenses were €113.9m (117.8m), a decrease of 3.3%.
- Operating profit for the third quarter was €1.6m (3.6m), at a margin of 4.3% (8.3%) and €4.0m (14.2m), at a margin of 3.4% (10.7%) for the period January to September 2025.
- Cash flow (excluding working capital and M&A) amounted to €6.1m (5.7m) for the quarter and €15.2m (19.2m) for the period January to September 2025.
- Earnings per share for the quarter were €0.036 (0.083) and €0.072 (0.345) year-to-date.
- Due to the ongoing negative impact of FX, the Brazilian market developing slower than anticipated and the revised timing of a key partner launch, Kambi now estimates full year Adjusted EBITA (acq) to be around €17.0 million.
Key operational highlights
- Signed four Odds Feed+ deals, including with major European operator Superbet Group, underlining the quality of Kambi’s modular odds feed solution
- Agreed numerous Turnkey Sportsbook partnerships, including an online deal with Glitnor Group and with Oneida Indian Nation, which operates three retail properties in New York State
- Acquired source code for a player account management platform from OMEGA Systems, unlocking Turnkey Sportsbook opportunities in Nevada
CEO comment
“Since the start of Q3, Kambi has signed seven Turnkey Sportsbook partners, three Odds Feed+ deals and two partner renewals – a clear reflection of the commercial progress we are making.
Among those agreements is our partnership with Superbet Group for our Odds Feed+ product. Currently ranked no.11 in the EGR Power 50 list, Superbet is one of the leading operators in Europe and Latin America and therefore a great addition to our Odds Feed+ partner roster. Additional deals with LeoVegas Group and Coolbet only further underline the strength of our premium modular odds solution.
From a Turnkey perspective, we partnered with Glitnor Group, which will upgrade from its existing sportsbook supplier to utilise our premium end-to-end sportsbook in multiple markets in Europe and the Americas. We continued to strengthen our tribal gaming ties in the US through a partnership with the Oneida Indian Nation in New York State and signed three partnerships in the Netherlands with Betnation, Holland Gaming Technology and Hommerson. These agreements further diversify our revenue base while strengthening our position in a number of key markets.
We are also focused on increasing future commercial opportunities and to that end we have announced the acquisition of source code to a player account management (PAM) platform. A PAM is a core component of a multi-vertical igaming technology stack that enables operators to centrally control all aspects of player management from KYC to payments to promotional tools, as well as housing casino aggregation capabilities. In the immediate term, the PAM will be focused on unlocking Turnkey Sportsbook opportunities in Nevada and potentially later in other markets where there are few or no viable third-party PAMs available.
Our Q3 financial performance was disciplined in a period impacted by a quieter sporting calendar, which last year included the Euros, Copa América and the Olympics, and the ongoing increased impact of gaming-related taxes. Revenue in Q3 reached €37.4 million, a decrease of 8% year-over-year when excluding transition fees, generating Adjusted EBITA (acq) of €3.4 million. We continue to see the benefits of our cost efficiency programme, which will continue into Q4 and 2026.
The planned Q4 launch of Ontario Lottery & Gaming is now expected to take place in Q1 2026, with revenue generation therefore starting later than originally anticipated. All development work is complete, and we are working closely with OLG on thorough testing. This amended timeline, the ongoing negative impact of FX, and the slower than anticipated development of the Brazilian market have led us to revise our 2025 guidance to an Adjusted EBITA (acq) of around €17.0 million.
With the busy sporting calendar upon us, we continue to focus on delivering an unbeatable product and service to our partners while building the foundations for long-term growth. The recent commercial wins, ongoing improvements to our market-leading product, the opportunities that the PAM will create, as well as the continued progress of our efficiency programme are, together, evidence of the positive momentum we are building. When coupled with the exciting opportunities we continue to pursue, I have growing confidence we will deliver sustainable growth and long-term returns for our shareholders.”

Revenue
Total revenue for the third quarter was €292 million, up €37 million, or 14% year-over-year, driven by 11% growth in Betting Technology & Solutions, and 31% growth in Sports Content, Technology & Services.
Betting Technology & Solutions revenues of €233 million were up 11% year-over-year primarily driven by an 8% increase in Betting & Gaming Content due to both existing and new customer uptake of our content and products, as well as strong U.S. market growth, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency movements. Managed Betting Services revenues of €56 million were up 19% driven by strong growth in Managed Trading Services due to increased turnover, higher trading margins and new customers.
Sports Content, Technology & Services revenues of €59 million increased 31% year-over-year primarily driven by 33% growth in Marketing & Media Services, due to increased spending from new and existing technology and media customers and contributions related to our expanded affiliate marketing capabilities. Integrity Services revenues more than doubled in the quarter driven by uptake of products and services from league partners and the addition of new customers, while Sports Performance revenues increased 10% largely due to higher pricing.
The Company generated strong revenue growth globally with the United States up 21% and Rest of World up 13%. As a percentage of total Company revenues, United States revenue represented 23% of total Company revenue in the third quarter as compared to 22% in the prior year quarter, due to continued market growth and customer uptake of our premium content and solutions.
Customer Net Retention Rate of 114% further demonstrates our ability to cross sell and up sell to our clients, as well as the continued market growth in the United States.
Profit for the period
Profit for the period was €22 million, a decrease of €15 million, compared to €37 million in the same quarter in 2024, as strong operating results were offset principally by a €22 million lower foreign currency gain in the quarter related to unrealized currency fluctuations mainly associated with U.S. dollar-denominated sports rights.
Adjusted EBITDA
Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA was €85 million, up €19 million, or 29% compared to €66 million in the same quarter in 2024. The increase was largely driven by the 14% revenue growth, primarily offset by increased sport rights costs related to the continued success of the ATP partnership deal and our renewed partnership with Major League Baseball, as well as by higher adjusted purchased services driven by growth in Marketing and Media Services revenue.
Business Highlights
- Entered into partnership with DAZN providing data and broadcast services across their global media platform, spanning more than 30 sports and 8 languages.
- Developed Performance View, a customized 4Sight product for NBC Universal for Peacock’s streamed NBA games, giving fans a new way to experience the action on the court by providing an on-screen layer of data and deep analytics.
- Renewed agreement with Spanish Football Federation to exclusively sell international media rights for the Spanish Super Cup until 2032, ensuring long-term control of global broadcast sales and continuity as the Real Federación Española de Fútbol’s trusted partner.
- Extended and expanded partnerships with Google and Yahoo, providing live game day sports statistics for Google and extending our relationship as a primary provider of sports data for both Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Fantasy.
- Introduced Bettor Sense, the Company’s proprietary, AI-powered responsible gaming solution, and launched with Underdog in the U.S. and BETesporte in Brazil.
- Awarded 2025 American Gambling Awards Data Service Provider of the Year, our second consecutive win, reaffirming leadership in delivering trusted data solutions to the U.S. sports betting market.
IMG ARENA Acquisition
On November 1, 2025, Sportradar completed its acquisition of IMG ARENA and its global sports betting rights portfolio. The closing of this transaction marks a milestone in Sportradar’s growth strategy, further strengthening and differentiating its position as a leading technology and content provider in the most bet upon global sports, including soccer, tennis and basketball.
Sportradar is not providing any financial consideration as part of the acquisition. Instead, the deal includes total financial consideration of $225 million comprised of approximately $122 million in cash prepayments by the seller to certain sports rightsholders and approximately $103 million to Sportradar. The payments to Sportradar, which are subject to customary purchase price adjustments, will be made over a two-year period. Given the unique transaction structure, the acquisition is expected to be accretive to Sportradar’s Adjusted EBITDA margins and free cash flow conversion, while accelerating the Company’s revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow growth.
The acquired portfolio encompasses strategic relationships with over 70 rightsholders, delivering approximately 38,000 official data events and 29,000 streaming events across 14 global sports on six continents. Sportradar sports coverage now totals more than one million matches annually. The acquisition enhances the Company’s content distribution and will further fuel product development. Sportradar expects to seamlessly integrate and monetize these rights across its highly scalable technology platform and client network.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were €360 million as of September 30, 2025, as compared with €348 million as of December 31, 2024. Net cash generated from operating activities for the nine-months ended September 30, 2025 of €315 million due to strong operating performance was partially offset by net cash used in investing activities of €166 million, primarily from payments related to sport rights licenses, and by net cash used in financing activities of €102 million. Financing activities included $65.5 million in share repurchases related to the April 2025 secondary offering and €15 million of payments related to the acquisition of the remaining non-controlling interest in a subsidiary. Free cash flow for the nine-months ended September 30, 2025 was €149 million, an increase of €28 million from €122 million in the same period in 2024.
Including an undrawn credit facility, the Company had total liquidity of €580 million as of September 30, 2025, as compared to €568 million as of December 31, 2024, and no debt outstanding.
2025 Full Year Financial Outlook
Sportradar is increasing its fiscal 2025 outlook as follows:
- Revenue of at least €1,290 million, representing year-on-year growth of at least 17%
- Adjusted EBITDA of at least €290 million, representing year-on-year growth of at least 30%
- Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of approximately 240 basis points
- Free cash flow conversion1 rate still expected to be above the 2024 level of 53%
The 2025 guidance reflects the acquisition of IMG ARENA, which closed on November 1, 2025, as well as the anticipated impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Share Repurchase Plan
In March 2024, the Board of Directors approved a $200 million share repurchase plan and in October 2025 the Board of Directors increased the authorized share repurchase plan to a total of $300 million.

Romanian lawmakers have introduced new legislative proposals aimed at tightening gambling access and advertising rules, particularly to protect young people. The bills, submitted by MPs Raluca Turcan (PNL) and Diana Stoica (USR), would raise the minimum legal gambling age from 18 to 21 and restrict online gambling advertising between 06:00 and 24:00.
Under the proposals, individuals under the age of 21 would be prohibited from participating in gambling activities, while gambling ads would be banned across online platforms during daytime hours. The legislation also seeks to outlaw the use of influencers, athletes and public figures in gambling promotions.
Protecting young audiences
“We have an obligation to protect our children from the threat of gambling,” said USR deputy Diana Stoica, citing studies showing early exposure to slot machines and online betting among Romanian minors. According to Stoica, brain development, particularly in areas linked to impulse control and decision-making, continues until around the age of 21, making younger individuals more vulnerable to gambling addiction.
“One in four adolescents has played on these so-called ‘machines of death’ before turning 18,” she added, arguing that the legislation is a necessary step to reduce risks.
Aligning with European trends
PNL deputy Raluca Turcan called the proposed age increase a “simple change with deep effects,” noting that countries including Portugal, Greece and Moldova have adopted similar measures. She highlighted that individuals aged 18 to 21 often face increased financial pressure and impulsivity as they enter adulthood, making them a key target group for gambling marketing.
“By raising the age threshold, we protect young people during a vulnerable stage,” Turcan stated, referencing international examples where similar policies reportedly reduced early-age indebtedness and problem gambling cases.
Tighter ad rules and warning messages
The draft legislation further proposes:
-
A complete ban on online gambling advertising between 06:00 and 24:00
-
A ban on influencer and public-figure participation in gambling promotions
-
Mandatory visible harm-prevention warnings across digital and physical gambling environments, modeled after tobacco and alcohol regulation
The measures would amend Romania’s existing legal framework under Emergency Ordinance 77/2009.
What comes next
The bills will now proceed through the legislative process, including debate and committee review. If adopted, the changes would introduce some of the most restrictive gambling-advertising and access rules in the region.
The initiatives reflect an ongoing trend across Europe, where regulators are increasing focus on consumer protection, youth safeguards, and advertising limitations in the gambling sector.
