Q3 saw record DTC revenue and strong growth from Disney Solitaire, offset by Slotomania's decline due to game rebalancing. Adjusted EBITDA rose 10.3% year-over-year, and DTC mix reached 31% of revenue, with further expansion targeted.
-
Q2 2025 revenue grew 11% year-over-year to $696M, led by Disney Solitaire's rapid success and strong D2C performance, while mature titles like Slotomania declined. Full-year revenue guidance was lowered, but EBITDA guidance remains unchanged due to D2C and efficiency gains.
-
Record Q1 revenue of $706M was driven by strong performance in Bingo Blitz and new launches like Disney Solitaire, while Slotomania continued to decline. D2C revenues hit new highs, and guidance for the year was reaffirmed despite margin pressures from increased marketing spend.

The company is leveraging M&A and selective internal development to expand its portfolio, with three new games launching in the next 12–18 months. Direct-to-consumer channels and international expansion are key growth drivers, while AI adoption aims to boost efficiency.
Fiscal Year 2024

2024 saw a major acquisition, new game launches, and a shift to a portfolio management strategy.

Q3 revenue declined slightly year-over-year, but EBITDA margins improved and net income rose. The pending Superplay acquisition is expected to boost growth, while cost management and selective marketing are driving improved profitability. Guidance was updated to reflect these trends.
