Genius Sports has reported a 37% year-on-year (YoY) jump in Q4 2025 revenue to $240.5m on the back of growth in both betting and media services.
The New York-listed supplier delivered a 49.3% increase in adjusted EBITDA from $32.4m to $48.3m, while net losses shrank from $28.2m to $20.6m.
Betting technology, content and services revenue rose 30.6% to $167.5m on the back of price increases on contract renewals, market expansion and new services.
The media arm reported a 95.5% leap in revenue from $29.8m to $58.2m. Bosses said this was driven by growth in the Americas, primarily around programmatic advertising.
Sports technology and services posted a 15.4% slide in revenue to $14.9m, though.
On a full-year basis, revenue jumped 31% to $669.5m, alongside an adjusted EBITDA increase of 58.9% to $136.2m.
Net losses widened, however, increasing from $63m to $111.6m.
Looking ahead to 2026, management reaffirmed full-year guidance published after Genius Sports snapped up Legend last month in a deal worth up to $1.2bn.
Full-year 2026 revenue is projected to reach $1.1bn, with adjusted EBITDA landing between $320m and $330m.
Genius Sports expects to close the Legend deal in Q2, with an initial $900m in cash and stock being paid for the affiliate and media business.
The firm’s stock is up around 1.6% to $6.47 at the time of writing, though the share price has tanked after the Legend deal announcement, falling almost 30% on the day as investors questioned the value of the acquisition.
The supplier has shed 40% of its value in 2026 and has a market cap of $1.64bn.
In the wake of the selloff, Mark Locke, Genius Sports CEO, penned a letter to shareholders insisting Legend – which operates brands including Covers.com and Casino.org – is more than a “simple affiliate”.
Commenting on the latest financials, Locke described 2025 as “a year of accelerated group revenue growth and record group adjusted EBITDA for Genius Sports”.
“Our betting business continues to outpace the broader industry, while our media business is reaching a clear inflection point, with accelerating momentum and growing demand from the world’s largest brands and agencies,” he said.
“Upon completion of the acquisition of Legend, we will further strengthen our position at the intersection of official data, fan identity and real-time intent – continuing to build a scaled, cash-generative technology platform.”
