    Raises 2025 Revenue Guidance Midpoint to $6.45 Billion;

    Reaffirms 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance of $900 Million to $1.0 Billion

    BOSTON, Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ:DKNG) ("DraftKings" or the "Company") today announced its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 financial results. The Company also posted a letter to shareholders and an earnings presentation on the Investor Relations section of its website at investors.draftkings.com.

    Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights

    For the three months ended December 31, 2024, DraftKings reported revenue of $1,393 million, an increase of $162 million, or 13%, compared to $1,231 million during the same period in 2023. The increase in the Company's fourth quarter 2024 revenue was driven primarily by continued healthy customer engagement, efficient acquisition of new customers, the expansion of the Company's Sportsbook product offering into new jurisdictions, higher structural sportsbook hold percentage, and the impact of the acquisition of Jackpocket Inc. ("Jackpocket"), which closed on May 22, 2024, partially offset by customer-friendly outcomes throughout the NFL season.

    "We continued to efficiently acquire and engage customers, expand structural sportsbook hold percentage and optimize promotional reinvestment in fiscal year 2024, while we simultaneously experienced customer-friendly sport outcomes," said Jason Robins, DraftKings' Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder. "Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, I am excited to further enhance our customer economics through new initiatives such as extending our lead in live betting and advancing cross sell efforts to and from new verticals. Our focus remains on driving sustainable growth in revenue and profitability."

    "2024 was a milestone year for DraftKings as we achieved our first year of positive Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, we began executing on our inaugural share repurchase authorization," said Alan Ellingson, DraftKings' Chief Financial Officer. "With strong underlying health across our core value drivers, we are raising the midpoint of our fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance to $6.45 billion from $6.4 billion and reaffirming our fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $900 million to $1.0 billion."

    Continued Healthy Growth in Customer Retention, Acquisition, and Engagement

    • Monthly Unique Payers ("MUPs") increased to 4.8 million average monthly unique paying customers in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 36% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. This increase reflects strong unique player acquisition and retention across DraftKings' Sportsbook and iGaming products, the expansion of its Sportsbook product into new jurisdictions and the impact of the acquisition of Jackpocket. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of Jackpocket, MUPs increased by approximately 16% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
    • Average Revenue per MUP ("ARPMUP") was $97 in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a 16% decrease compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower ARPMUP for Jackpocket customers, when compared to customers of DraftKings' existing product offerings prior to the acquisition, as well as lower actual Sportsbook hold rate due to customer-friendly sport outcomes, which was partially offset by improvement in the Company's structural Sportsbook hold and improved promotional reinvestment for Sportsbook and iGaming. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of Jackpocket, ARPMUP decreased approximately 4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
    • Detailed financial data and other information for the fourth quarter of 2024 is available in the financial statements set forth below under the caption "Financial Results."

    Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance

    • DraftKings is raising the midpoint of its fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance and now expects revenue in the range of $6.3 billion to $6.6 billion, compared to its previous guidance of $6.2 billion to $6.6 billion announced on November 7, 2024. Our fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance equates to approximately 35% year-over-year growth based on the Company's fiscal year 2024 revenue and the midpoint of the Company's fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance range.
    • DraftKings is reaffirming its fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $900 million to $1.0 billion, which the Company previously announced on November 7, 2024.
    • The Company's guidance for fiscal year 2025 does not include the benefit of year-to-date sport outcomes.
    • The Company's guidance for fiscal year 2025 includes all of its existing jurisdictions and does not include the impact of mobile sports betting launching in Missouri.

    Mobile Sports Betting and iGaming Footprint

    • DraftKings is live with mobile sports betting in 25 states and Washington, D.C. which collectively represent approximately 49% of the U.S. population.
    • DraftKings is also live with iGaming in 5 states, representing approximately 11% of the U.S. population.
    • DraftKings is live with its Sportsbook and iGaming products in Ontario, Canada, which represents approximately 40% of Canada's population.
    • On November 5, 2024, Missouri voters passed a ballot initiative that legalized sports betting in the state. DraftKings expects to launch its Sportsbook product in Missouri pending market access, licensure, regulatory approvals, and contractual approvals where applicable.
    • DraftKings expects to launch its Sportsbook product in Puerto Rico pending market access, licensure, regulatory approvals, and contractual approvals where applicable.

    Webcast and Conference Call Details

    As previously announced, DraftKings will host a conference call and audio webcast tomorrow, Friday, February 14, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. ET, during which management will discuss the Company's results and provide commentary on business performance.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that DraftKings uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are useful in evaluating its operating performance, similar to measures reported by its publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are not intended to be substitutes for any GAAP financial measures, and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

    DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income or expense (net), income tax provision or benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below.

    DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders before the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets; stock-based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below.

    DraftKings includes these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate the Company's core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with GAAP because they are non-recurring items (for example, in the case of transaction-related costs and advocacy and other related legal expenses), non-cash expenditures (for example, in the case of amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation), or non-operating items which are not related to the Company's underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest income and expense and litigation, settlement and related costs).

    The unaudited table below presents the Company's Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to its net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, for the periods indicated:

    (7) Includes the change in fair value of certain financial assets, as well as our equity method share of investee's losses and other costs relating to non-recurring and non-operating items.

    Information reconciling forward-looking fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), is unavailable to DraftKings without unreasonable effort due to, among other things, certain items required for such reconciliations being outside of DraftKings' control and/or not being able to be reasonably predicted. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. DraftKings provides a range for its Adjusted EBITDA forecast that it believes will be achieved; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it can predict all of the components of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation. DraftKings provides a forecast for Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with DraftKings' results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities or as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity.
