Flutter generates a quarterly revenue of $4.19 billion in Q2 2025
In the second quarter of 2025, Flutter Entertainment, a global leader in online sports betting and iGaming, demonstrated a robust financial performance. The company reported a 16% year-over-year increase in revenue to $4.2 billion, and a 25% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $919 million[1][3][5]. This growth resulted in a 21.9% EBITDA margin, an improvement of 150 basis points from the previous year.
The company's success can be attributed to several factors. Flutter's average monthly players increased 11% to nearly 16 million, supported by acquisitions such as Snai and NSX, and its sustained US market leadership[1][3].
However, despite these operational improvements, net income declined 88% from $297 million to $37 million. This decline was primarily due to non-cash charges related to Fox Option valuation, higher amortization expenses, and increased taxes. Earnings per share fell accordingly, but adjusted earnings per share grew 45% to $2.95[1][3].
Flutter Entertainment's market capitalization stands at approximately $49.7 billion, and it has a price-to-earnings ratio of around 138.5, reflecting investor expectations for continued growth albeit with some valuation premium[4].
In comparison to competitors, Flutter is a standout in the global market for online sports betting and iGaming. Its broad geographic footprint, aggressive acquisitions, and strong US market presence differentiate it from peers such as DraftKings, which has a more volatile stock performance and smaller market cap[4]. Flutter's diversified product offering and robust cash flow generation provide strategic advantages in the competitive gambling industry landscape.
The U.S. segment, led by FanDuel, is expected to generate nearly half of Flutter's total revenue and about one-third of its adjusted EBITDA[2]. FanDuel itself reported $1.8 billion in Q2 revenue[6]. Flutter recently finalized the acquisition of Boyd Gaming's remaining 5% stake in FanDuel, bringing its ownership to a full 100%[7].
Other regions also contributed significantly to Flutter's revenue. Southern Europe and Africa saw a 68% surge to $657 million, while Brazil experienced explosive growth of 144%, reaching $44 million[1].
In the U.S., Flutter has revised its revenue guidance upwards, with projected revenue at $7.58 billion and adjusted EBITDA at $1.26 billion[8]. However, it has also revised its U.S. revenue guidance downward from $7.47-$7.97 billion to $7.19-$7.69 billion[9].
Flutter raised its full-year revenue forecast to between $16.63 billion and $17.52 billion in its Q1 earnings report[10]. The company's adjusted EBITDA outlook has been slightly raised to a range of $2.96 billion to $3.4 billion[8].
In summary, Flutter Entertainment's Q2 2025 results show strong financial growth and market leadership. Despite some challenges in profitability, the company's rising adjusted EBITDA and player growth affirm its competitive strength relative to other major gambling operators[1][3][4][5].
