Insights

Genius Sports delivered exceptional Q4 and full-year 2024 results with significant growth across all key metrics. Q4 revenue surged 38% year-over-year to $175.5 million, with the Betting Technology segment leading at 48% growth. The full-year revenue of $510.9 million represents 24% YoY growth.

What's particularly impressive is the company's accelerating profitability trajectory. Q4 Adjusted EBITDA skyrocketed 171% to $32.4 million with substantial margin expansion of 900 basis points to 18.4%. While net losses continue ($28.2 million in Q4), they've narrowed by 27% YoY, indicating clear progress toward sustainable profitability.

The cash generation metrics tell a compelling story of financial health improvement. Operating cash flow reached $82 million for the full year—a remarkable 5.5x increase—which strengthened the year-end cash position to $135 million. This improved cash generation substantially reduces capital market dependency, though the company strategically raised an additional $144 million post-reporting period.

The 2025 guidance further reinforces management's confidence, projecting revenue of $620 million (21% growth) and Adjusted EBITDA of $125 million (46% growth), implying further margin expansion to approximately 20%. These results clearly demonstrate GENI's successful pivot from growth-at-all-costs to balanced growth with expanding profitability and robust cash flow.

This earnings report reveals Genius Sports' strengthening technological advantage in the sports data ecosystem. The company's GeniusIQ technology is delivering substantial results, driving a 47% year-over-year revenue increase in the Sports Technology segment during Q4. This signals successful technology commercialization and adoption across their customer base.

The launch of next-generation data-powered experiences with high-profile partners like the LA Rams, EA Sports, and NBA demonstrates how Genius is leveraging its technology stack to create differentiated, high-value products. These implementations represent the convergence of sports, media, and betting through advanced data visualization capabilities that create compelling user experiences.

Particularly noteworthy is their implementation of player tracking technology for France's Ligue de Football Professionnel, showcasing their expanding European footprint. The Lithuanian basketball broadcast implementation featuring dynamic sponsorship activations represents a significant monetization pathway through augmented viewing experiences.

The partnership with Index Exchange to expand premium sports advertising inventory points to Genius' strategic focus on monetizing their data assets through enhanced ad targeting and audience curation. This creates a compelling secondary revenue stream beyond their core data services.

With the $144 million capital raise, Genius has secured the financial resources to continue investing in technological innovation while maintaining their competitive advantage in sports data infrastructure. The company appears well-positioned at the intersection of sports data, media technology, and betting infrastructure—three sectors with substantial tailwinds that are increasingly interconnected.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measure to its non-GAAP measure is included above.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Group adjusted EBITDA and Group adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP performance measures, to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Group Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization and other items that are unusual or not related to Genius’ revenue-generating operations, including but not limited to stock-based compensation expense (including related employer payroll taxes), litigation and related costs, transaction expenses and gain or loss on foreign currency.

Group Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate Genius’ core operating performance on a comparable basis and to make strategic decisions. Genius believes Group Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors for the same reasons as well as in evaluating Genius’ operating performance against competitors, which commonly disclose similar performance measures. However, Genius’ calculation of Group Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled performance measures of other companies. Group Adjusted EBITDA and Group Adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be a substitute for any US GAAP financial measure.

We do not provide a reconciliation of Group adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income/(loss) on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. These items are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events. The impact of these items could be significant to our projections.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve significant risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include information about our possible or assumed future results of operations or our performance. Words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: risks related to our reliance on relationships with sports organizations and the potential loss of such relationships or failure to renew or expand existing relationships; fraud, corruption or negligence related to sports events, or by our employees or contracted statisticians; risks related to changes in domestic and foreign laws and regulations or their interpretation; compliance with applicable data protection and privacy laws; pending litigation and investigations; the failure to protect or enforce our proprietary and intellectual property rights; claims for intellectual property infringement; our reliance on information technology; elevated interest rates and inflationary pressures, including fluctuating foreign currency and exchange rates; risks related to domestic and international political and macroeconomic uncertainty; and other factors included under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. These statements involve known and unknown risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this press release, or the documents to which we refer readers in this press release, to reflect any change in our expectations with respect to such statements or any change in events, conditions or circumstances upon which any statement is based.
