Q2 2025 shows impressive results for Genius Sports, reaching a new high for EBITDA
Genius Sports Reports Strong Q2 2025 Results and Raises Full-Year Guidance
Genius Sports, a leading provider of sports data, technology, and services, reported impressive financial results for Q2 2025. The company's revenue grew by 24% year-over-year to $118.7 million, with Adjusted EBITDA jumping 64% to $34.2 million [1][2][3].
The betting segment was the primary driver of the revenue growth, with a 30% increase to $87.5 million. This surge was attributed to extended partnerships, such as the one with the NFL, higher betting volumes, price increases on contract renewals, and expansion of services [1][5].
However, despite the strong EBITDA growth, the group reported a net loss of $53.9 million, primarily due to increased stock-based compensation and warrants issued related to the NFL licensing extension [1][2].
Looking ahead, Genius Sports raised its full-year 2025 guidance. The company now projects revenue of $645 million, a 26% increase year-over-year, and Group Adjusted EBITDA of $135 million, a 57% increase year-over-year [2].
Strategic advancements, including partnerships with Serie A, European leagues, and leadership changes such as the appointment of a new CFO, underpin the positive outlook and expected continued margin expansion and cash flow growth [2].
One of the significant partnerships is with Serie A, where Genius Sports secured exclusive official data and streaming rights through 2029 [6]. The company also signed a multi-year agreement with the European Leagues Association, covering over 8,000 matches across 46 competitions [7].
In addition, Genius Sports formed a strategic alliance with PMG and entered into a new collaboration with TV analytics provider iSpot [8]. These partnerships will strengthen the company's BetVision and GeniusIQ offerings, integrating live data, video, and AI-driven analytics for sportsbooks, broadcasters, and sports teams.
Bryan Castellani was named as the new Chief Financial Officer of Genius Sports, effective October 1, 2025. Castellani brings a wealth of financial and media expertise from previous leadership roles at ESPN, Disney, and Warner Music Group [9].
The EBITDA margin for Q2 2025 reached 28.8%, an increase of 700 basis points, marking a significant improvement in the company's financial performance [3].
With these strong results and positive outlook, Genius Sports continues to solidify its position as a leading player in the sports technology and services industry.
