The earnings call reveals strong financial performance with significant year-over-year growth in revenue, EBITDA, and net income. The company's strategic acquisitions are driving growth, and there's a positive outlook on market expansion and product offerings. Despite increased operating expenses due to acquisitions, the company maintains a healthy cash position. The Q&A section reflects optimism, with no major concerns from analysts. The lack of a share repurchase program is a minor negative, but overall, the financial health and growth prospects suggest a positive sentiment, likely leading to a stock price increase of 2% to 8%.
Revenue $40.6 million, up 39% year-over-year. Growth driven by strong performance in both marketing and sports data services, with a significant contribution from the acquisition of OddsJam and OpticOdds.
Adjusted EBITDA $15.9 million, up 56% year-over-year. Increase attributed to higher revenue growth and improved operational efficiency, despite some higher-than-expected partnership revenue share costs.
Gross Profit $38.4 million, up 42% year-over-year. Growth due to increased revenue, with gross profit margin rising to 94.5%, up 200 basis points year-over-year.
Operating Expenses $28.7 million, up 50% year-over-year. Increase primarily due to higher amortization from acquired intangible assets and costs associated with the Odds Holdings and Freebets acquisitions.
Adjusted Net Income $16.5 million, up 78% year-over-year. Growth influenced by favorable currency translation effects.
Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share $0.46, up 92% year-over-year. Increase reflects the growth in adjusted net income.

The earnings call summary reflects strong financial metrics with optimistic guidance, particularly in sports data services and new digital marketing channels. The Q&A section reveals positive sentiment towards product development, especially in OpticOdds and OddsJam, despite some unclear responses. The company’s cautious capital allocation and strategic investments suggest a focus on sustainable growth. The positive outlook on revenue and EBITDA growth, coupled with the potential benefits from Google updates, supports a positive sentiment. However, some concerns about margins and the U.K. market temper the outlook, resulting in a 'Positive' rating.
The earnings call summary shows strong financial performance with 39% revenue growth and 56% EBITDA growth, but the Q&A reveals concerns. The Google algorithm update negatively impacted EBITDA, and management avoided specific guidance for 2026, leading to uncertainties. While new partnerships and market launches are positive, the impact of AI on search revenue and lack of detailed financial metrics for Spotlight.Vegas are concerning. Overall, the mixed signals and lack of clear guidance suggest a neutral stock price movement over the next two weeks.
