Sportradar Group (NASDAQ:SRAD) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $0.01 EPS

Sportradar Group (NASDAQ:SRAD) posted its quarterly earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported $0.10 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $0.11 by ($0.01), Zacks reports. The company had revenue of $410.62 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $405.74 million. Sportradar Group had a return on equity of 1.89% and a net margin of 1.23%. Sportradar Group’s revenue for the quarter was up 24.1% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same period in the prior year, the firm earned $0.07 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Sportradar Group’s conference call:

• Q3 revenue rose 24% to €363 million, while Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% to €102 million, with a 28.2% margin. Free cash flow reached €177 million in the first nine months, up 18% year over year.
• Prediction markets became a meaningful new growth channel, with Sportradar partnering with exchanges including Polymarket, Kalshi and Novig, as well as Robinhood and roughly 10 market makers. Management expects strong growth as trading volumes, broker relationships and ultra-low-latency data services expand.
• The IMG ARENA integration is performing ahead of the original 25% revenue-synergy target, supported by broader distribution to Sportradar’s 800-plus clients and new products such as live match trackers and player and micro markets.
• Full-year guidance was reiterated at 19%-21% constant-currency revenue growth and 24%-27% Adjusted EBITDA growth, but management flagged uncertainty around Brazil, where approximately €60 million of annual revenue could be at risk if the regulated market is curtailed. A potential MLB lockout is another uncertainty, although the company cited contractual protections and alternative Tier 1 sports content.
• Sportradar agreed to sell non-core Atrium Sports for €170 million, expected to close after regulatory approval, while retaining selected technology assets. The proceeds, along with the company’s €190 million cash balance and undrawn €250 million credit facility, will support investment, M&A and continued share repurchases.
