Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description ofBusiness and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Genius Sports Limited (the “Company” or “Genius”) is a non-cellular company limited by shares incorporated on October 21, 2020 under the laws of Guernsey. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger pursuant to a definitive business combination agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”), dated October 27, 2020, by and among dMY Technology Group, Inc. II (“dMY”), Maven Topco Limited (“Maven Topco”), Maven Midco Limited, Galileo NewCo Limited, Genius Merger Sub, Inc., and dMY Sponsor II, LLC (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of the Merger on April 20, 2021 (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name from Galileo NewCo Limited to Genius Sports Limited. The Company’s ordinary shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “GENI”.

The Company is a provider of scalable, technology-led products and services to the sports, sports betting, and sports media industries. The Company is a data and technology company that enables consumer-facing businesses such as sports leagues, sportsbook operators and media companies to engage with their customers. The scope of the Company’s software bridges the entire sports data journey, from intuitive applications that enable accurate real-time data capture, to the creation and provision of in-game betting odds and digital content that helps the Company’s customers create engaging experiences for the ultimate end-users, who are primarily sports fans.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Merger was first accounted for as a capital reorganization whereby the Company was the successor to its predecessor Maven Topco. As a result of the first step described above, the existing shareholders of Maven Topco continued to retain control through ownership of the Company. The capital reorganization was immediately followed by the acquisition of dMY, which was accounted for within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, dMY was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on post-combination relative voting rights, composition of the governing board, relative size of the pre-combination entities, and intent of the Merger. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of dMY, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of dMY were stated at historical cost, which approximated fair value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger are those of legacy Maven Topco. Upon Closing, outstanding capital stock of legacy shareholders of Maven Topco was converted to the Company’s common stock, in an amount determined by application of the exchange ratio of 37.38624 (“Exchange Ratio”), which was based on Maven Topco’s implied price per share prior to the Merger. For periods prior to the Merger, the reported share and per share amounts have been retroactively converted by applying the Exchange Ratio.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with US GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in our 2022 20-F. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements of the Company as of that date.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023, its results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2023 or for any interim period or for any other future year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, inclusive of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain prior period amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock represents the shares of the Company that are held in treasury. Treasury stock is recorded at cost and deducted from shareholders’ equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which is intended to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

There are no other accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The guidance in ASU 2016-02 and subsequently issued amendments requires lessees to capitalize virtually all leases with terms of more than twelve months on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and recognize an associated lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing or operating leases and their classification affects the recognition of expense in the income statement. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged, other than certain targeted improvements intended to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance.

The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach by recognizing and measuring leases without revising comparative period information or disclosures. The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the standard, which allowed the Company to carry forward assessments on whether a contract was or contains a lease, historical lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption date.

On the adoption date, the Company recorded operating right-of-use assets of $18.4 million, including an offsetting lease incentive of $1.1 million, along with associated operating lease liabilities of $19.5 million.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which, together with subsequent amendments, amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations was $437.6 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company expects to recognize approximately 63% in revenue within one year, and the remainder within the next 13 – 114 months.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $14.2 million and $32.2 million, respectively, for variable consideration related to revenue share contracts for Betting Technology, Content and Services.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers, and these timing differences result in receivables (see Note 4 – Accounts Receivable, Net), contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company records a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to the right to invoice or deferred revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights to invoice and receive payment become unconditional.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $37.1 million contract assets and $41.6 million of contract liabilities, recognized as deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $38.4 million of contract assets and $41.3 million of contract liabilities, recognized as deferred revenue.

The Company expects to recognize substantially all of the deferred revenue as of June 30, 2023 within the next 12 months.

Note 9. Derivative Warrant Liabilities

As part of dMY’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in 2020, dMY issued 9,200,000 warrants to third party investors, and each whole warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, dMY completed the private sale of 5,013,333 warrants to dMY’s sponsor (“Private Placement Warrants”) and each Private Placement Warrant allowed the sponsor to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. During fiscal year 2021 the Private Placement Warrants were exercised in full.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. The Public Warrants had an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination as of April 20, 2021 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation and are exercisable on demand.

On January 20, 2023, the Company announced the successful offer to exercise and consent solicitation (the “Exercise and Consent Solicitation”) of the Company’s outstanding public warrants. Holders of 2,149,000 warrants elected to exercise their public warrants prior to the expiration date of the Exercise and Consent Solicitation on a cash basis at a reduced exercise price of $3.1816 per share, resulting in cash proceeds of $6.8 million and the issuance of 2,149,000 shares of Common Stock. Holders of 4,685,987 warrants elected to exercise their public warrants prior to the expiration date of the Exercise and Consent Solicitation on a cashless basis at a reduced exercise price of $3.1816 per share, and the remaining 833,293 public warrants were exercised automatically on a cashless basis at a reduced exercise price of $3.2933 per share. The Company issued 5,519,280 shares of Common Stock for warrants that were exercised on a cashless basis, of which 4,105,948 shares were retained as Treasury Stock. None of the Company’s public warrants remained outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and the warrants ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

The Company accounts for Public Warrants as liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). Specifically, the Public Warrants meet the definition of a derivative but do not qualify for an exception from derivative accounting since the warrants are not indexed to the Company’s stock and therefore, are precluded from equity classification. Since the Public Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value upon the closing of the Merger, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, zero and a gain of $4.7 million was recognized from the change in fair value of the Public Warrants in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, a loss of $0.5 million and gain of $13.4 million was recognized from the change in fair value of the Public Warrants in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively.

Note 11. Loss Per Share

The Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, net of weighted average treasury stock outstanding, during periods with undistributed losses. Additionally, the B Shares, issued in connection with the License Agreement (defined below), are not included in the loss per share calculations below as they are non-participating securities with no rights to dividends or distributions. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities. Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was the same for all periods presented as the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive.

The computation of loss per share and weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in thousands except share and per share data):

Three Months ended June 30,

Note 12. Stock-based Compensation

Restricted Shares

2021 Restricted Share Plan

On October 27, 2020, in anticipation of the Merger, the Board of Directors approved a Management Equity Term Sheet (“Term Sheet”) which modified the terms of Maven Topco’s legacy Incentive Securities (defined below) and allowed for any unvested Incentive Securities at Closing to be converted to restricted shares under the 2021 Restricted Share Plan, using the Exchange Ratio established during the Merger.

Specifically, historical unvested Class B and Class C Incentive Securities were converted to restricted shares subject only to service conditions (“Time-Vesting Restricted Shares”) and subject to graded vesting over four years. Historical Class D unvested Incentive Securities were converted to restricted shares with service and market conditions (“Performance-Vesting Restricted Shares”), subject to graded vesting over three years based on a market condition related to volume weighted average trading price performance of the Company’s common stock.

The Company determined that a modification to the terms of Maven Topco’s legacy Incentive Securities occurred on October 27, 2020 (“October Modification”) because the Company removed the Bad Leaver provision (discussed below in “Incentive Securities” section) for vested awards, contingent upon the Closing, representing a change in vesting conditions. The Company further determined that another modification occurred on April 20, 2021 (“April Modification”) since the Incentive Securities, which are private company awards, were exchanged for restricted shares, which are public company awards, representing a change in vesting conditions.

No compensation cost was recognized as a result of the October Modification because the awards were improbable of vesting both before and after the modification date as of October 27, 2020. Upon Closing, the Company recognized total compensation cost of $183.2 million to account for the vesting of the historical Incentive Securities upon removal of the Bad Leaver provision. The Company measured the awards based on their fair values as of October 27, 2020, which is considered to be the grant date fair value of the awards, adjusted for any incremental compensation cost resulting from the April Modification, which is determined to be immaterial.

Second Spectrum RestrictedShares

On June 15, 2021, as part of the Company’s acquisition of Second Spectrum, Inc (“Second Spectrum”) the Company granted 518,706 restricted shares to the founders of Second Spectrum, with 50% to be vested on December 31, 2021 and 2022 (“Second Spectrum Restricted Shares”). The grant date fair value of the Second Spectrum Restricted Shares is estimated to be equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $17.74 as of the grant date on June 15, 2021.

A summary of the Company’s overall restricted shares activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:

Number ofShares Weighted Average Grant DateFair Value per Share
Unvested restricted shares as of December 31, 2022 3,417,484 $ 7.39

Forfeited (1,175,521 ) $ 7.13
Unvested restricted shares as of June 30, 2023 1,960,421 $ 7.37

The compensation cost recognized for the restricted shares during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1.2 million, and $14.3 million, respectively. The compensation cost recognized for the restricted shares during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $3.4 million, and $28.7 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the restricted shares was $3.1 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average service period of 0.8 years.

Immediate-Vesting Options became fully vested and exercisable immediately following the Closing, which aligns with the 2021 Grant Date. Time-Vesting Options are subject to graded vesting over the four years following the 2021 Grant Date. Performance-Vesting Options are subject to graded vesting over the three years from the 2021 Grant Date, subject to a market condition related to volume weighted average trading price performance of the Company’s common stock.

2022 Employee Incentive Plan

The Company created an employee incentive plan involving share-based and cash-based incentives to support the success of the Company by further aligning the personal interests of employees, officers, and directors to those of our shareholders by providing an incentive to drive performance and sustained growth.

On April 5, 2022, (“2022 Grant Date”) the Board of Directors adopted the 2022 Employee Incentive Plan and granted employees 1) Equity-settled Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”), 2) Cash-settled Restricted Share Units (“Cash-settled RSUs”) and 3) Equity-settled Performance-Based Restricted Share Units (“PSUs”).

The RSUs and Cash-settled RSUs are subject to a service condition with graded vesting over the three years following the 2022 Grant Date. PSUs vest after three years, subject to a service condition, a market condition related to volume weighted average trading price performance of the Company’s common stock, and performance conditions related to the Company’s cumulative revenue and cumulative adjusted EBITDA.

Cash-settled Restricted Share Units

Our outstanding Cash-settled RSUs entitle employees to receive cash based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. The Cash-settled RSUs are accounted for as liability awards and are re-measured at fair value each reporting period until they become vested with compensation expense being recognized over the requisite service period. The Company has a liability, which is included in “Other current liabilities” within the condensed consolidated balance sheets of less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2023.

The estimated grant date fair value of the Company’s Cash-settled RSUs is estimated to be equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on each grant date.

Equity-settled Performance-Based Restricted Share Units

The Company’s PSUs were adopted in order to provide employees, officers and directors with stock-based compensation tied directly to the Company’s performance, further aligning their interests with those of shareholders and provides compensation only if the designated performance goals are met over the applicable performance period. The awards have the potential to be earned at 50%, 100% or 150% of the number of shares granted depending on achievement the performance goals, but remain subject to vesting for the full three-year service period.

The grant date fair values of PSUs subject to performance conditions are based on the most recent closing stock price of the Company’s shares of common stock. The stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the remaining service period at the time of grant, adjusted for the Company’s expectation of the achievement of the performance conditions.

The estimated grant date fair value of the Company’s PSUs subject to a market condition granted under the 2022 Employee Incentive Plan in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was calculated using Monte Carlo simulations based on the following assumptions:

Time to maturity^(1)^ 3.0 years

NFL Warrants

On April 1, 2021, the Company entered into a multi-year strategic partnership with NFL Enterprises LLC (“NFL”) (the “License Agreement”). Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company obtains the right to serve as the worldwide exclusive distributor of NFL official data to the global regulated sports betting market, the worldwide exclusive distributor of NFL official data to the global media market, the NFL’s exclusive international distributor of live digital video to the regulated sports betting market (outside of the United States of America where permitted), and the NFL’s exclusive sports betting and i-gaming advertising partner. The License Agreement contemplates a four-year period commencing April 1, 2021. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the NFL an aggregate of up to 18,500,000 warrants with each warrant entitling NFL to purchase one ordinary share of the Company for an exercise price of $0.01 per warrant share. The warrants will be subject to vesting over the four-year Term. Additionally, each warrant is issued with one share of redeemable B Share with a par value of $0.0001. The B Shares, which are not separable from the warrants, are voting only shares with no economic rights to dividends or distributions. Pursuant to the License Agreement, when the warrants are exercised, the Company shall purchase or, at its discretion, redeem at the par value an equivalent number of B Shares, and any such purchased or redeemed B Shares shall thereafter be cancelled.

The Company accounts for the License Agreement as an executory contract for the ongoing Data Feeds and the warrants will be accounted for as share-based payments to non-employees. The awards are measured at grant date fair value when all key terms and conditions are understood by both parties, including for unvested awards and are expensed over the term to align with the data services to be provided over the periods.

The grant date fair value of the warrants is estimated to be equal to the closing price of dMY’s common stock of $15.63, as of the grant date on April, 1, 2021. The Company used dMY’s stock price to approximate the fair value of the Company as the grant date was before the Merger was consummated.

A summary of the Company’s warrants activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:

Number ofWarrants
Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 18,500,000
Outstanding as of June 30, 2023 18,500,000

The cost recognized for the warrants during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was zero and $5.9 million, respectively. The cost recognized for the warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $5.9 million and $28.3 million, respectively. The warrants vested over a three year period, ending on April 1, 2023, and as of June 30, 2023, the Company had no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the warrants. 3,000,000 warrants vested in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 13. Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to<br>the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset<br>or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
--- ---
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that<br>observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
--- ---

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Public Warrants were classified as Level 1 financial instruments. The fair value of Public Warrants was measured based on the listed market price of such warrants.

The change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities (Public Warrants) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

PublicWarrants
Derivative warrant liabilities at December 31, 2022 $ 6,922
Change in fair value 534
Exercise of warrants (7,438 )
Foreign currency translation adjustments (18 )
Derivative warrant liabilities at June 30, 2023 $ ****

Contingent consideration are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. The fair value of contingent consideration is determined based on significant unobservable inputs including discount rate, estimated revenue of the acquired business, and estimated probabilities of achieving specified technology development and operational milestones. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of the inputs described above. Changes to the inputs could have a material impact on the company’s financial position and results of operations in any given period.

With respect to the contingent consideration obligation arising from the acquisition of Photospire Limited (“Spirable”), the Company estimates the fair value at each subsequent reporting period using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model for contingent milestone payments and Monte Carlo simulation for contingent revenue payments.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 (in thousands):

Purchase Obligations

The Company purchases goods and services from vendors in the ordinary course of business. Purchase obligations are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the transaction. The Company’s long-term purchase obligations primarily include service contracts related to cloud-based hosting arrangements. Total purchase obligations under these services contracts are $90.7 million as of June 30, 2023, with approximately $20.5 million due within one year and the remaining due by 2028.

General Litigation

From time to time, the Company is or may become subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings initiated by users, other entities, or regulatory bodies. Estimated liabilities are recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many instances, the Company is unable to determine whether a loss is probable or to reasonably estimate the amount of such a loss and, therefore, the potential future losses arising from a matter may differ from the amount of estimated liabilities the Company has recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements covering these matters. The Company reviews its estimates periodically and makes adjustments to reflect negotiations, estimated settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company is not party to active litigation.

Bank Letters of Credit and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company provides standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to certain parties initiated by either the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company previously had bank guarantees with Barclays Bank PLC. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 the bank guarantee was replaced with an account charge of equal value, resulting in the Company recognizing restricted cash of £20.0 million ($25.3 million) as of June 30, 2023.

The Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million in interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.4 million in interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For purposes of this section, “we,” “our,” “us”, “Genius” and the “company” refer to GeniusSports Limited and all of its subsidiaries.

The following discussion includes information that Genius’ management believes is relevant to anassessment and understanding of Genius’ unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

The discussion shouldbe read together with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included in this interim report. This management’s discussion and analysis should alsobe read together with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 in our 2022 20-F.

Overview

Genius is a B2B provider of scalable, technology-led products and services to the sports, sports wagering and sports media industries. Genius is a fast-growing business with significant scale, distribution and an expanding addressable market and opportunity ahead.

Genius’ mission is to be the official data, technology and commercial partner that powers the global ecosystem connecting sports, betting and media. In doing so, Genius creates engaging and immersive fan experiences while simultaneously providing sports leagues with essential technology and vital, sustainable revenue streams.

Genius uniquely sits at the heart of the global sports betting ecosystem where Genius has deep, critical relationships with over 400 sports leagues and federations, over 750 sportsbook brands and over 170 marketing customers (which includes some of the aforementioned sportsbook brands).

Genius’ Offerings

SportsTechnology and Services. Genius builds and supplies technology and services that allow sports leagues to collect, analyze and monetize their data with added tools to deepen fan engagement. These tools include creation of fan-facing websites, rich statistical content such as team and player standings, immersive social media content, and, Genius’ latest creation, its streaming product, a tool that allows sports leagues to automatically produce, distribute and commercialize live, audio-visual game content. Genius also provides sports leagues with bespoke monitoring technology and education services to help protect their competitions and athletes from the threats of match fixing and betting-related corruption. Following the acquisition of Second Spectrum, Inc (“Second Spectrum”), Genius is now a leading provider of cutting-edge data tracking and visualization solutions that partners with elite football and basketball clubs, leagues, federations, and media organizations around the world.

Genius’ technology has become essential to their partners’ operations and it would be inefficient or unaffordable for most sports leagues to build similar technology themselves. In return for the provision of their essential technology, the sports leagues typically grant to Genius the official sports data and streaming rights to collect, distribute and monetize the official data or streaming content.

Betting Technology, Content and Services. Genius builds and supplies data-driven technology that powers sportsbooks globally. Genius’ offerings include official data, outsourced bookmaking, trading/risk management services and live audio-visual game content that is derived from its streaming partnerships with sports leagues.

Media Technology, Content and Services. Genius builds and supplies technology, services and data that enables sportsbooks, sports organizations, and other brands to target, acquire and retain sports fans as their customers in a highly effective and cost-efficient manner. Key services include the creation, delivery and measurement of personalized online marketing campaigns, all delivered using Genius’ proprietary technology and proven to help advertisers reduce spend and wastage. Genius’ sports media solutions provide incremental revenue opportunities for stakeholders across the entire sports ecosystem.

23

Events under Official Sports Data and Streaming Rights

Genius establishes long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with sports leagues, federations and teams that enable its partners to collect, organize and communicate data internally (e.g., for coaching analysis) or externally (e.g., for posting on fan-facing websites) and grant to Genius the rights to collect, distribute and monetize official sport data. Genius seeks to maintain an optimal portfolio of data rights, from high profile, widely followed sports events, such as the English Premier League (“EPL”), National Football League (“NFL”) and other Tier 1 sports, to more specialized and less widely followed events, such as non-European soccer, non-US basketball, professional volleyball and other Tier 2 to 4 sports. This provides Genius with global breadth and depth of coverage across all tiers of sport, all time zones, and all geographical locations.

Data rights for Tier 1 sports, which include the most popular sports leagues, are typically acquired via formal tender processes and competitive bidding often resulting in high acquisition costs. For example, Genius’ U.K. soccer data rights contract, which runs through the end of the 2024-2025 season and NFL data rights contract, which runs through the end of the 2027-2028 season, accounts for a significant majority of Genius’ third-party data rights fees. Genius believes that its inventory of selectively acquired Tier 1 data rights is important to establishing relationships with sportsbooks on beneficial terms.

Data rights for lower tier sports are typically acquired through long-term agreements with the respective leagues in exchange for Genius’ technology and software solutions (and, occasionally, cash fees). These non-Tier 1 sports are typically smaller leagues that are less prominent at a global level, although often are highly popular in their local countries or regions and often have large localized fan bases. Genius estimates that these sports comprise approximately 90% of the total volume of sporting events offered to sportsbooks.

Genius’ events under official sports data and streaming rights form the backbone of its business model, and are a principal driver of revenue, particularly for the Betting Technology, Content and Services product line. Genius defines an “event” as a single sports match or competitive event. Genius’ rights to collect, distribute and monetize the data related to such events may be exclusive (meaning that Genius has the exclusive right to collect, distribute, and monetize such data), co-exclusive (meaning that Genius shares collection, distribution, and monetization rights with one other company) or non-exclusive.

The following table presents Genius’ number of events under official sports data and streaming rights, and the portion thereof under exclusive rights, as of the dates indicated:

June 30,
2023 2022
Events under official rights 183,392 194,164
Of which, exclusive 122,214 133,195

Genius believes that data under official sports data and streaming rights is critical to sportsbooks, as only official data provides guaranteed access to the fast and reliable data necessary for in-game betting. To remain competitive, sportsbooks must be able to operate and provide customers with betting content around the clock, every single day of the year. This requires an extensive and broad portfolio of data and other content from Tier 1 and Tier 2-4 sports events. Events under exclusive rights give Genius an added commercial advantage over competitors and serve as a barrier of entry, making Genius an essential provider to its customers.

Additionally, Genius collects, distributes, and monetizes data from additional sporting events where no official sports data and streaming rights have been granted or it is legally permissible to do so. Accordingly, the total number of events to which Genius delivers data to its customers in a given period may exceed its total inventory of events under official sports data and streaming rights.

24

Factors Affecting Comparability of Financial Information

Foreign Exchange Exposure

Genius’ results of operations between periods are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Genius’ assets and liabilities and results of operations are translated from its functional currency, the British Pound Sterling (“GBP”) into its reporting currency, the United States Dollar (“USD”), using the average exchange rate during the relevant period for income and expense items and the period-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities.

The effect of translating Genius’ functional currency amounts into USD is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity but is not reported in Genius’ income statement. However, changes in GBP-USD exchange rate between periods directly impact the amount of revenue and expense reported by Genius, and therefore its results of operations between periods may not be comparable. Genius estimates that a hypothetical 10% appreciation of the USD against the GBP would have resulted in a $5.8 million and $4.9 million decrease in reported revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a $11.4 million and $10.2 million decrease in reported revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Throughout this quarterly report on Form 6-K, Genius reports certain items on a constant currency basis to facilitate comparability between periods.

In addition, Genius is a global business that transacts with customers and vendors worldwide and makes and receives payments in several different currencies, and from time to time may also engage in intercompany transfers to and from its subsidiaries. Genius re-measures amounts payable on transactions denominated in currencies other than GBP into GBP and records the relevant gain or loss, which occurs due to timing differences between recognition of a transaction on the income statement and the related payment, under the income statement caption “gain on foreign currency.” Genius does not hedge its foreign currency translation or transaction exposure, though it may do so in the future.

Seasonality

Genius’ products and services cover the entire sporting calendar, which from a global perspective is year-round. On the other hand, the relative importance of different sporting events varies based on the geographic locations in which Genius’ customers operate. Accordingly, Genius’ operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations that may result in revenue and cash flow volatility between fiscal quarters. For example, Genius’ revenue is typically impacted by the European soccer season calendars and the NFL season. Genius’ revenue trends may also be affected by the scheduling of major sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup or the cancellation/postponement of sporting events and races.

Key Components of Revenue and Expenses

Revenue

Genius generates revenue primarily through delivery of products and services to customers in connection with the following major product lines: Betting Technology, Content and Services, Media Technology, Content and Services, and Sports Technology and Services. The following table shows Genius’ revenue split by product line, for the periods indicated:

Three Months EndedJune 30, Six Months EndedJune 30,
2023 2022 2023 2022
(dollars, in thousands)
Revenue by Product Line
Betting Technology, Content and Services $ 56,862 $ 44,831 $ 121,602 $ 94,552
Media Technology, Content and Services 18,357 14,999 40,121 39,128
Sports Technology and Services 11,628 11,287 22,353 23,360
Total Revenue $ 86,847 $ 71,117 $ 184,076 $ 157,040

25

Betting Technology, Content and Services — revenue is primarily generated through the delivery of official sports data for in-game and pre-match betting and outsourced bookmaking services through the Genius’ proprietary sportsbook platform. Customers access Genius’ sportsbook platform and associated services through the cloud over the contract term. Customer contracts are typically either on (i) a “fixed” basis, requiring customers to pay a guaranteed minimum recurring fee for a specified number of events, with incremental per-event fees thereafter, or (ii) a “variable” basis, based on a percentage share of the customer’s Gross Gaming Revenue (“GGR”), typically with minimum payment guarantees. Minimum guarantee amounts are generally recognized over the life of the contract on a straight-line basis, while generally variable fees based on profit sharing and per event overage fees are recognized as earned. Genius believes that its minimum payment guarantees provide for enhanced revenue visibility while the variable component of its contracts benefits Genius as its partners grow.

Media Technology, Content and Services — revenue is primarily generated from providing data-driven performance marketing technology and services, including personalized online marketing campaigns, to sportsbooks, sports leagues and federations, along with other global brands in the sports ecosystem. Genius typically offers its solutions on a fixed fee basis, which is generally prepaid by customers. Revenue is generally recognized over time as the services are performed using an input method based on costs to secure advertising space. Genius also provides customers with data driven video marketing capabilities through the acquisition of Photospire Limited (“Spirable”) and their creative performance platform, and a suite of technology solutions for digital fan engagement products and free to play (“F2P”) games through the acquisition of Fan Hub Media Holdings Pty Limited (“FanHub”). Customers subscribe or access these products through hosted service over the contractual term in exchange for a fixed annual fee, subject to certain variable components.

Sports Technology and Services — revenue is primarily generated through the delivery of technology that enables sports leagues and federations to capture, manage and distribute their official sports data, along with other tools and services, including software updates and technical support. These software solutions are tailored for specific sports. Also included within Sports Technology, Content and Services are revenues derived from Sportzcast, Inc. (“Sportzcast”), a company acquired in December 2020, and Second Spectrum, acquired in June 2021. In some instances, Genius receives noncash consideration in the form of official sports data and streaming rights, along with other rights, in exchange for these services, particularly to non-Tier 1 sports organizations. Because there is not a readily determinable fair value for these unique data rights, Genius estimates the fair value of noncash consideration based on the standalone selling price of the services promised to customers. Revenue is recognized either ratably over the contract term or as the services are provided, by event or season, depending on the nature of the underlying promised product or service. Genius also provides sports teams and leagues with player tracking systems that capture and produce fast and accurate location data used to power new ways to understand, evaluate, improve and create content their game, enhanced data analytics programs and real-time video augmentation services through the acquisition of Second Spectrum. Depending on the nature of the underlying product or service, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term or recognized over time using an output method based on deliverables to the customer.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of revenue. Genius’ cost of revenue includes costs related to (i) amortization of intangible assets, mainly related to Genius’ capitalized internally developed software and acquired intangibles, (ii) fees for third-party data and streaming rights under executory contracts, including stock-based compensation for non-employees, (iii) data collection and production, third-party server and bandwidth and outsourced bookmaking, (iv) advertising costs directly associated with Genius’ Media Technology, Content and Services offerings, and (v) stock-based compensation for employees (including related employer payroll taxes).

Genius believes that its cost of revenue is highly scalable over the longer term. While key components of cost of revenue, such as server and bandwidth costs and personnel costs related to revenue-generating activities, are variable, Genius expects them to grow at a slower pace than revenue. Other key costs, such as third-party data including those related to Genius’ EPL and NFL contract, are typically fixed.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenses consist primarily of sales personnel costs, including compensation, stock-based compensation for employees (including related employer payroll taxes), commissions and benefits, amortization of costs to obtain a contract associated with capitalized commissions costs, event attendance, event sponsorships, association memberships, marketing subscriptions, and third-party consulting fees.

26

Research and development. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of new products related to Genius’ platform and services, as well as improving existing products and services. The costs incurred included related personnel salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation for employees (including related employer payroll taxes), facility costs, server and bandwidth costs, consulting costs, and amortization of production software costs.

R&D expenses can be volatile between periods, as Genius capitalizes a significant portion of its internally developed software costs, in periods where a product completes the preliminary project stage and it is probable the project will be completed and performed as intended. Capitalized internally developed software costs are typically amortized in cost of revenue.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consist primarily of administrative personnel costs, including executive salaries, bonuses and benefits, stock-based compensation for employees (including related employer payroll taxes), professional services (including legal, regulatory and audit), lease costs and depreciation of property and equipment.

Transaction expenses. Transaction expenses consists primarily of advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, other professional or consulting fees, and bonuses in connection with Genius’ corporate development activities. Direct and indirect transaction expenses in a business combination are expensed as incurred when the service is received.

(Loss) gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration. (Loss) gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration represents the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities related to historical acquisitions. Contingent consideration liabilities are revalued at each reporting period.

Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities. Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities represents the change in fair value of public and private warrant liabilities assumed as part of the Merger.

Income tax (expense) benefit. Genius accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. The provision for income taxes reflects income earned and taxed, mainly in the United Kingdom. See Note 14 – Income Taxes, to Genius’ unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

Gain from equity method investment. Gain from equity method investment represents the Company’s proportionate share of net earnings or losses recognized from the Company’s equity method investments.

27

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report on Form 6-K includes certain non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA

Genius presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP performance measure, to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization and other items that are unusual or not related to Genius’ revenue-generating operations, including stock-based compensation expense (including related employer payroll taxes), change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, remeasurement of contingent consideration and gain on foreign currency.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate Genius’ core operating performance on a comparable basis and to make strategic decisions. Genius believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors for the same reasons as well as in evaluating Genius’ operating performance against competitors, which commonly disclose similar performance measures. However, Genius’ 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 U.S. GAAP financial measure.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Genius’ Adjusted EBITDA to its net loss for the periods indicated:

Constant Currency

Certain income statement items in this Report on Form 6-K are discussed on a constant currency basis. As discussed under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Exchange Exposure,” Genius’ results between periods may not be comparable due to foreign currency translation effects. Genius presents certain income statement items on a constant currency basis, as if GBP:USD exchange rate had remained constant period-over-period, to enhance the comparability of its results. Genius calculates income statement constant currency amounts by taking the relevant average GBP:USD exchange rate used in the preparation of its income statement for the more recent comparative period and applies it to the actual GBP amount used in the preparation of its income statement for the prior comparative period.

Constant currency amounts only adjust for the impact related to the translation of Genius’ consolidated financial statements from GBP to USD. Constant currency amounts do not adjust for any other translation effects, such as the translation of results of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than GBP or USD.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Genius measures liquidity in terms of its ability to fund the cash requirements of its business operations, including working capital and capital expenditure needs, contractual obligations and other commitments, with cash flows from operations and other sources of funding. Genius’ current working capital needs relate mainly to launching its product offerings and acquiring new data rights in new geographies, as well as compensation and benefits of its employees. Genius’ recurring capital expenditures consist primarily of internally developed software costs and property and equipment (such as buildings, IT equipment, and furniture and fixtures). Genius expects its capital expenditure and working capital requirements to increase as it continues to expand its product offerings across the United States, but has not made any firm capital commitments. Genius’ ability to expand and grow its business will depend on many factors, including its working capital needs and the evolution of its operating cash flows.

Genius cannot guarantee that its available cash resources will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs. Genius may need additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other developments, including unanticipated regulatory developments, significant acquisitions or competitive pressures. Genius believes that its cash on hand will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. To the extent that its current resources are insufficient to satisfy its cash requirements, Genius may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than expected, Genius may be forced to decrease its level of investment in new product launches and related marketing initiatives or to scale back its existing operations, which could have an adverse impact on its business and financial prospects.

Debt

Genius had $7.4 million and $14.5 million in debt outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Substantially all of this debt was in the form of Promissory Notes bearing non-cash interest at 4.7% annually.

In addition, Genius has a £0.2 million overdraft facility (the “Overdraft Facility”), which was undrawn at the date of this Report on Form 6-K.

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements are described in Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant AccountingPolicies, to Genius’ unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report on Form 6-K.

Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. Genius Sports Limited is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. This may make it difficult to compare Genius Sports Limited’s financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Genius’ primary and currently only material market risk exposure is to foreign currency exchange. See “Factors Affecting Comparability of Financial Information–Foreign Exchange Exposure” above for additional information about Genius’ foreign currency exposure and sensitivity analysis.

OTHER INFOMRATION

Legal and Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation and regulatory matters relating to our operations. We are not currently involved in material legal proceedings. See Note 16—Commitments and Contingencies to Genius’ condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein. If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss can be made.

The results of any current or future legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and, regardless of the outcome, can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Risk Factors

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measure to its non-GAAP measure is included above.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Group adjusted EBITDA and Group adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP performance measures, to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Group adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization and other items that are unusual or not related to our revenue-generating operations, including stock-based compensation expense (including related employer payroll taxes), change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and remeasurement of contingent consideration. Group adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Group adjusted EBITDA divided by Group revenue.

Group adjusted EBITDA and Group adjusted EBITDA margin are used by management to evaluate our core operating performance on a comparable basis and to make strategic decisions. We believe Group adjusted EBITDA and Group adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors for the same reasons as well as in evaluating our operating performance against competitors, which commonly disclose similar performance measures. However, our calculation of Group adjusted EBITDA and Group adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled performance measures of other companies. Group adjusted EBITDA and Group adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure.

We do not provide a reconciliation of Group adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income/(loss) on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. These items are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events. The impact of these items could be significant to our projections.

Constant Currency

Certain income statement items in this press release are discussed on a constant currency basis. Our results between periods may not be comparable due to foreign currency translation effects. We present certain income statement items on a constant currency basis, as if GBP:USD exchange rate had remained constant period-over-period, to enhance the comparability of our results. We calculate income statement constant currency amounts by taking the relevant average GBP:USD exchange rate used in the preparation of our income statement for the more recent comparative period and apply it to the actual GBP amount used in the preparation of our income statement for the prior comparative period.

Constant currency amounts only adjust for the impact related to the translation of our consolidated financial statements from GBP to USD. Constant currency amounts do not adjust for any other translation effects, such as the translation of results of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than GBP or USD.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve significant risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include information about our possible or assumed future results of operations or our performance. Words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,”

“anticipates,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the effect of COVID-19 on our business, risks related to our reliance on relationships with sports organizations and the potential loss of such relationships or failure to renew or expand existing relationships; fraud, corruption or negligence related to sports events, or by our employees or contracted statisticians; risks related to changes in domestic and foreign laws and regulations or their interpretation; compliance with applicable data protection and privacy laws; pending litigation and investigations; the failure to protect or enforce our proprietary and intellectual property rights; claims for intellectual property infringement; our reliance on information technology; risks related to our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits from the business combination with dMY Technology Group, Inc. II; and other factors included under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with respect to such statements or any change in events, conditions or circumstances upon which any statement is based.
