Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed November 12, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Flutter Entertainment plc reported third-quarter 2025 results on November 12, 2025, with revenue of $3,794 milliona (up 17% year-over-year) and a net loss of $789 million, compared with a net loss of $114 million in the prior-year quarter.

The loss was driven primarily by a non-cash impairment charge of $556 millionb tied to India's Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, which forced the Junglee business to cease real-money gaming, and by $204 million in transaction fees, mainly the $205 million payment to Boyd Gaming to revise US market access terms. Group adjusted EBITDA rose 6% to $478 million and adjusted earnings per share rose 29% to $1.64. Free cash flow fell to $25 million from $112 million, and net cash provided by operating activities fell 28% to $209 million, largely due to the Boyd payment.

The company cut its 2025 guidance. Group revenue is now expected at a midpoint of $16.69 billionc and adjusted EBITDA at $2.915 billion, reductions of $570 million and $380 million from previous midpoints. The revision reflects Q3 trading, customer-friendly sports results (about $170 million of adjusted EBITDA impact from October 1 through November 9, 2025), increased Q4 sportsbook investment, FanDuel Predicts investment, an Illinois wager fee tax, and the Indian regulatory change.

US sportsbook revenue declined 5% in Q3 while US iGaming revenue grew 44%. Management also announced the launch of FanDuel Predicts, a prediction market product in states without regulated sports betting, expected in December 2025 through a joint venture with CME Group, with incremental EBITDA cost of $40d-$50 million in Q4 2025 and $200-$300 million in 2026. Leverage rose to 4.0x at September 30, 2025, from 2.2x at December 31, 2024, after debt financing for the Snai and Betnacional acquisitions and the purchase of Boyd's 5% interest in FanDuel for $1.76 billion.

Net debt was $10,602 million. Management reiterated a medium-term leverage target of 2.0-2.5x and said it expects leverage to fall rapidly. The share repurchase program has returned $1.12 billion of a planned $5 billion so far, and a Q1 2026 repurchase of up to $250 million is planned.
