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. As of September 30, 2025 the Company has repurchased 4.8 million shares under the plan for a total of $85.8 million, including $65.5 million in 2025.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Operating Metric
We have provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with IFRS, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted purchased services, Adjusted personnel expenses, Adjusted other operating expenses, Free cash flow, and Free cash flow conversion, as well as our operating metric, Customer Net Retention Rate. 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. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.
| · | “Adjusted EBITDA” represents earnings for the period 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, restructuring costs, non-routine litigation costs, certain transaction-related costs, and secondary offering costs. |
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 these IFRS financial measures 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.
5
We present Adjusted purchased services, Adjusted personnel expenses, and Adjusted other operating expenses (together, "Non-IFRS expenses") because management utilizes these financial measures to manage its business on a day-to-day basis and believes that they are the most relevant measures of expenses. Management believes these adjusted expense measures provide expanded insight to assess revenue and cost performance, in addition to the standard IFRS-based financial measures. Management believes these adjusted expense measures are useful to investors for evaluating Sportradar’s operating performance against competitors. However, Sportradar’s calculation of adjusted expense measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled performance measures of other companies. These adjusted expense measures are not intended to be a substitute for any IFRS financial measure.
| · | “Adjusted purchased services” represents purchased services less capitalized external development costs. |
| · | “Adjusted personnel expenses” represents personnel expenses less share-based compensation awarded to employees, restructuring costs, and capitalized personnel compensation. |
| · | “Adjusted other operating expenses” represents other operating expenses plus impairment loss on trade receivables, less non-routine litigation, share-based compensation awarded to third parties, certain transaction-related costs, and secondary offering costs. |
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 (loss) for the period (in each case, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure) on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact these IFRS financial measures 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 items that are non-recurring or unusual. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company’s future financial results.
In addition, we define the following operating metric as follows:
| · | “Customer Net Retention Rate” is calculated for a given period by starting with the reported Trailing Twelve Month revenue from our top 200 customers as of twelve months prior to such period end, or prior period revenue. We then calculate the reported trailing twelve-month revenue from the same customer cohort as of the current period end, or current period revenue. Current period revenue includes any upsells and is net of contraction and attrition over the trailing twelve months but excludes revenue from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total current period revenue by the total prior period revenue to arrive at our Net Retention Rate. |
