Segment and Regional Performance
The Betting & Gaming Content division stood out as Sportradar’s largest contributor, delivering $190.59 million (€176.47 million) in revenue with eight percent growth. This positive result followed the onboarding of new partners and the strengthening of existing agreements, as sports operators seek advanced data and integrity solutions. Managed betting services posted a 19 percent surge to $60.83 million (€56.33 million), which supported an 11 percent increase in the Betting Technology & Solutions segment, totaling $251.42 million (€232.8 million).
Within its offerings, the Sports Content, Technology & Services area grew revenues by 31 percent to $63.98 million (€59.24 million), driven largely by a 33 percent increase in Marketing & Media Services. This growth was attributed to higher spending by technology, media, and affiliate-marketing clients.

Geographically, the “Rest of World” category delivered $243.49 million (€225.45 million), reflecting 13 percent annual growth. The US market saw impressive 21 percent growth year-over-year, generating $71.92 million (€66.6 million) and lifting its contribution to 23 percent of group revenue, up from 22 percent the previous year.
Earnings Highlights and Cost Considerations
Adjusted EBITDA increased 29 percent, rising to $91.8 million (€85 million), mainly due to productivity improvements, automation, and broader use of AI-enabled products. Nonetheless, these gains were partially limited by higher expenses connected to sports-rights deals, including the ATP tennis partnership and a renewed Major League Baseball contract.
Stock Market Impact
Sportradar shares experienced a substantial decline following the quarterly results. The stock closed at approximately $23.38 on 5 November 2025, down roughly 8.60 percent for the day. The drop began during pre-market trading, where the stock had already lost 3.79 percent after the earnings disclosure. The pronounced single-day fall underscored investor disappointment in spite of a more positive full-year outlook.
Forward Guidance and Strategic Moves
The company expects annual revenue to grow by at least 17 percent in FY25, targeting $1.39 billion (€1.29 billion). Adjusted EBITDA is projected to reach $313.2 million (€290 million), up 30 percent. This guidance incorporates the acquisition of IMG ARENA, concluded on 1 November 2025, which broadens Sportradar’s reach within high-demand sports verticals.
Chief Executive Carsten Koerl stated, “premium content portfolio, leading technology and strong AI capabilities” were enabling above-market growth and delivering greater value to operators and media partners. Industry analysts suggest the company is increasingly viewed as one of the most scalable platforms in the regulated sports-betting ecosystem.
Market Reaction and Outlook
Despite solid operational achievements, the company’s share price has faced ongoing pressure, with analysts revising earnings estimates downward and at least one rating downgrade reported. Investors are maintaining a close watch as to whether upcoming profit growth can match the increases in revenue as Sportradar advances toward 2026.
