Genius Sports has exceeded its Q2 2026 estimates by generating $196 million in revenue, representing a 65% rise, further pushing the company to increase its full-year guidance.
Adjusted EBITDA also beat estimates by reaching $53 million, compared to the $45 million guidance, and group adjusted EBITDA margin came in at 26.9%, thanks to strong performance in the Media business and contributions from prediction markets. On that note, Genius Sports announced partnerships with Kalshi and Polymarket, further expanding its presence in the sector.
CEO and Founder of Genius Sports, Mark Locke, stated:
“We continue to realize the benefits of the infrastructure we’ve spent years building. Advertisers are placing greater value on our combination of official data and audience, prediction markets are opening an entirely new avenue for growth, and our core Betting business continues to outperform. As we continue to scale GeniusIQ, that foundation positions Genius to deliver durable long-term growth, profitability, and cash generation.”
On the other hand, the company’s net loss increased significantly to $76.7 million from 2025’s $53.9 million, representing a 42% rise. Genius attributed the loss to non-recurring transaction expenses and net interest expenses as a result of loan financing.
Regarding separate divisions, the betting technology, content, and services business was up by 27.5% and reached $117 million in revenue, while the media technology, content, and services segment generated $78.1 million, representing a huge 192.8% jump.
Genius was able to raise its full-year guidance to $1 billion and expects adjusted EBITDA to range from $285 million to $295 million.
