Sportradar Group AG (NASDAQ: SRAD) (“Sportradar” or the “Company”), the leading global sports technology company, will today host an Investor Day to present the Company’s growth strategy and financial outlook.

Chief Executive Officer Carsten Koerl, Chief Financial Officer Craig Felenstein, and other members of the Sportradar leadership team will provide an in-depth look into the Company’s priorities and growth opportunities. The event will also feature a fire-side chat with Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner and Gary Bettman, NHL Commissioner, as well as presentations from Jason Robins, Co-Founder and CEO of DraftKings and George Daskalakis, Co-Founder and CEO of Kaizen Gaming, owner of the Betano sportsbook brand.

Speakers will highlight Sportradar’s competitive advantages and the key elements of its growth strategy, which will enable it to continue driving significant value for partners, clients and shareholders, including:

• At an inflection point for multi-year value creation. With industry leading scale, unmatched competitive advantages, and major sports rights secured for the long-term, the Company is at an inflection point to drive sustainable revenue growth while significantly expanding margins and cash generation.
• Mission-critical leadership. The Company has an unrivaled position at the center of the sports ecosystem serving over 2,100 clients and partners worldwide. Its unmatched depth, breadth and scale in content rich data, diverse product portfolio and expansive distribution network create high barriers to entry.
• Large and growing core sports betting opportunity. With a global addressable sports betting market expected to grow at a double-digit CAGR over the next four years, the Company is benefitting from strong market tailwinds and the convergence of the sports, betting and media industries.
• A track record of product innovation to drive take rate. The Company is well-positioned to outpace industry growth and capture a growing share of in-play betting thanks to a market-leading product portfolio designed to deeply engage sports fans, combined with a commercial strategy focused on addressing clients’ evolving needs.
• Opportunities from adjacent markets. The Company will continue to look at opportunities in adjacent markets, including leveraging its existing 360-degree marketing services capabilities in the adjacent online casino market, opening up a potential $2 billion serviceable addressable market (SAM).
• Leverage technology and AI to drive efficiency and innovation. A robust tech stack and deep AI capabilities enable the Company to improve efficiencies, accelerate innovation and provide an opportunity to lower growth barriers for partners and clients in the sports ecosystem.

Sportradar expects to deliver exceptional financial performance over the next three years translating to the following 2027 targets:

• Revenue of at least €1.7 billion, representing a 15% CAGR.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ of at least €455 million, representing a 27% CAGR.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ margin expansion of 700 basis points.
• Free cash flow¹ of approximately €275 million, increasing free cash flow conversion¹ to at least 60% by 2027.

_{¹ Non-IFRS measure; see the section below captioned “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for more details.}

Carsten Koerl, Sportradar Chief Executive Officer, said: “We look forward to sharing our vision and strategy for driving sustainable, long-term growth at our Investor Day. As the market leader in sports technology, Sportradar is uniquely positioned at the center of the sports ecosystem. With our leading scale, unparalleled global distribution network and history of innovation we are confident in our ability to continue our strong momentum and deliver tremendous value for our clients, partners and shareholders.”

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We have provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with IFRS, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free cash flow, and Free cash flow conversion. 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.

• “Adjusted EBITDA” represents earnings for the period from continuing operations 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, impairment charges or income, management restructuring costs, non-routine litigation costs, losses related to equity-accounted investee (SportTech AG), and professional fees for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and enterprise resource planning implementations.

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 right’s 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 this IFRS financial measure 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.

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 for the period from continuing operations (in each case the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure), on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact this IFRS financial measure 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 non-recurring or unusual items. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company’s future financial results.
