Insights

DoubleDown Interactive's Q2 2024 results show strong financial performance. Revenue increased 17% year-over-year to $88.2 million, with net income up 36% to $33.3 million. The acquisition of SuprNation contributed $7.9 million in revenue, while the core social casino business grew 7%.

Key metrics improved significantly: ARPDAU rose 27% to $1.33 and average monthly revenue per payer increased 23% to $288. These improvements, along with Adjusted EBITDA growth of 34% to $37 million, indicate effective monetization strategies and operational efficiency.

With a strong net cash position of $303 million, DoubleDown is well-positioned for both organic growth and potential M&A opportunities. However, investors should monitor the integration of SuprNation and its impact on overall profitability.

DoubleDown's Q2 results suggest it's gaining market share in the competitive social casino space. The 7% revenue growth in its core business outpaces industry averages, indicating effective player engagement strategies. The introduction of new meta features in DoubleDown Casino appears to be driving this success.

The acquisition of SuprNation marks a strategic entry into the European iGaming market, diversifying revenue streams. This move could provide long-term growth opportunities, but also exposes the company to new regulatory risks.

The improvement in key metrics like ARPDAU and payer conversion (up to 6.7% from 6.0%) suggests DoubleDown is effectively monetizing its user base. However, the decline in MAUs and DAUs warrants attention, as sustaining growth may require attracting new players alongside improving monetization of existing ones.

SEATTLE, Aug. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DoubleDown Interactive Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: DDI) (“DoubleDown” or the “Company”), a leading developer and publisher of digital games on mobile and web-based platforms, today announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 vs. Second Quarter 2023 Summary:

  • Revenue increased to $88.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $75.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. SuprNation, a European iGaming operator (“SuprNation”) which was acquired by the Company on October 31, 2023, generated total revenue of $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2024. Revenue exclusive of the contributions from SuprNation increased 7% to $80.3 million.
  • Operating expenses increased to $52.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $47.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to the second quarter 2024 inclusion of operating expenses related to SuprNation, partially offset by lower sales and marketing and research and development expenses.
  • Net income increased to $33.3 million, or earnings per fully diluted common share of $13.39 ($0.67 per American Depositary Share (“ADS”)), in the second quarter of 2024, from net income of $24.4 million, or earnings per fully diluted common share of $9.83 ($0.49 per ADS), in the second quarter of 2023. Such increase was primarily due to higher revenue and lower overall sales and marketing and research and development expenses, partially offset by higher general and administrative expense which included new expenses for SuprNation. Each ADS represents 0.05 share of a common share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased to $37.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $27.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 41.9% in the second quarter of 2024 from 36.7% in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Average Revenue Per Daily Active User (“ARPDAU”) for the Company’s social casino/free-to-play games increased to $1.33 in the second quarter of 2024 from $1.05 in the second quarter of 2023 and from $1.26 in the first quarter of 2024.
  • Average monthly revenue per payer for the social casino/free-to-play games increased to $288 in the second quarter of 2024 from $235 in the second quarter of 2023 and from $281 in the first quarter of 2024.

“We continued to drive strong growth across our business in the 2024 second quarter, with consolidated revenue rising 17% to $88.2 million and adjusted EBITDA increasing 34% to $37.0 million,” said In Keuk Kim, Chief Executive Officer of DoubleDown. “Revenue for our social casino business rose 7% compared to the same period in 2023, the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth, as we believe we continue to gain industry share. The recent introduction of new meta features in our flagship app, DoubleDown Casino, continues to help drive strong improvements in player engagement and monetization, as evidenced by ARPDAU and average revenue per payer rising year over year by 27% and 23%, respectively. Impressively, these metrics were both up on a quarterly sequential basis despite the historical seasonality in our business.

“Our SuprNation iGaming operations also had another solid quarter as 2024 second quarter revenue of $7.9 million was well above the estimated quarterly run rate the business was generating prior to our acquisition. We continue to fine-tune our go-to-market strategies for growing SuprNation’s topline while remaining focused on ensuring our near-term marketing and player engagement strategies will result in sustainable mid- and long-term profitable revenue and cash flow contributions.

“Our disciplined approach to user acquisition and R&D spend delivers strong quarterly Adjusted EBITDA margins and free cash flow. As a result, we continue to improve our already strong financial position as we ended the second quarter with an aggregate net cash position of approximately $303 million, or approximately $6.12 per ADS. Going forward, our focus will remain on prudently driving further increases in player monetization to deliver consistent free cash flow generation while simultaneously evaluating both organic and M&A focused growth opportunities to leverage our significant financial strength in order to further grow our top and bottom lines and create new value for our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue inclusive of the contributions from SuprNation in the second quarter of 2024 was $88.2 million, an increase of 17% from $75.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. Revenue exclusive of the contributions from SuprNation increased 7% year over year to $80.3 million, primarily reflecting higher engagement and monetization of the existing player base.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 increased 9% year over year to $52.0 million. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of SuprNation expenses in the second quarter of 2024, which were not incurred in the second quarter of 2023 given that SuprNation was acquired in October 2023.

Net income increased to $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, or $13.39 per fully diluted common share ($0.67 per ADS), from net income of $24.4 million, or $9.83 per fully diluted common share ($0.49 per ADS), in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in net income was primarily due to increased revenue and lower sales and marketing and research and development expenditures, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses which included the new expenses for SuprNation. Each ADS represents 0.05 share of a common share.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024 increased 34%, or $9.4 million, to $37.0 million, compared to $27.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. Consistent with the increase in net income, the improvement in EBITDA primarily reflects higher revenue and lower sales and marketing and research and development expenses, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses which included the new expenses for SuprNation.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2024 was $34.4 million, compared to net cash flows used in operating activities of $37.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase is primarily due to higher net income and a lower deferred tax asset impact, as well as the final payment of $95.25 million towards the Benson litigation settlement that occurred in 2023.

Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements contained in this press release are “forward-looking statements” about future events and expectations for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of industry trends, our future financial and operating performance, and our growth plans, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of historical fact. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Words such as “anticipates,” believes,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goal,” “objectives,” “intends,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plans,” potential,” “near-term,” long-term,” “projections,” “assumptions,” “projects,” “guidance,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “target,” “trends,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we believe the following non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We present “adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“Adjusted EBITDA”) because we believe it assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of period-to-period operational performance on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. The items excluded from the Adjusted EBITDA may have a material impact on our financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Accordingly, the Adjusted EBITDA is presented as supplemental disclosure and should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements furnished in our report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC.

In our reconciliation from our reported GAAP “net income before provision for taxes” to our Adjusted EBITDA, we eliminate the impact of the following six line items: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) interest income; (iii) interest expense; (iv) foreign currency transaction/remeasurement (gain) loss; (v) short-term investments (gain) loss; and (vi) other (income) expense, net. The below table sets forth the full reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures:
