Flutter Entertainment: Q3 2025 Update
NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flutter Entertainment plc (NYSE: FLUT; LSE: FLTR) (“Flutter”) the world’s leading online sports betting and iGaming operator today announces Q3 results, updated 2025 guidance, and the launch of "FanDuel Predicts" in December.
Key financial highlights:
Overview
Updated full year 2025 guidance
Q4 has started well on an underlying basis. In the US, FanDuel's increased customer acquisition and retention investment in Q4 is proving effective with continued player momentum and year-over-year handle growth stepping up to 10% quarter to date with the NBA season off to a strong start. Sports results, however, have been customer friendly across the Group with an adjusted EBITDA impact of approximately $170m from October 1, through November 9, 2025 6.
2025 outlook 5 is therefore primarily updated to include the impact of: (i) Q3 performance, (ii) Q4 sports results 6, (iii) Q4 sportsbook investment, (iv) FanDuel Predicts investment 7, (v) tax costs associated with the Illinois wager fee which we are now treating as taxable, and (vi) Indian regulatory change
Group revenue is now expected to be $16.69bn with adjusted EBITDA of $2.915bn at the midpoint. This reflects a reduction from previous guidance of $570m and $380m in revenue and adjusted EBITDA expectations respectively, with updated guidance now representing 19% and 24% year-over-year growth.
Peter Jackson, CEO, commented:
"Flutter delivered a solid third quarter, with continued momentum in both our US and International businesses. We are the clear number one operator in the US, and we will continue to build on that position to drive future profitability. Our strategic investments, including the launch of FanDuel Predicts and recent International acquisitions, position us exceptionally well to capture new opportunities and deliver sustainable, profitable growth. Our diversified portfolio and disciplined approach give me great confidence in our ability to lead the industry and increase long-term value for shareholders.”
To our shareholders
Flutter delivered a solid Q3 performance with AMP growth of 9%, revenue increasing 17% and adjusted EBITDA 6% ahead year-over-year. These results reflect the positive impact of our recent Snai and Betnacional acquisitions, as well as excellent organic iGaming growth which helped offset customer-friendly sports results. The Group reported a net loss of $789m for the quarter compared to $114m in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of a non-cash impairment charge relating to regulatory changes in India and the previously communicated $205m payment to Boyd for improved US market access terms.
I am really pleased with the strong positioning of Flutter's core business as we continue to execute in the final quarter of the year. Before sharing more detail on our Q3 performance and outlook, I first want to present how we are strategically positioning FanDuel to capture the emerging prediction markets opportunity. This area has been a source of significant industry discussion over recent months and I am very excited to announce our expansion into the market with the launch of “FanDuel Predicts”, a new FanDuel branded app which we expect to launch in December, through our joint venture with the CME Group.
FanDuel Predicts unlocks an immediate growth opportunity by allowing us to offer a compelling sports product to the vast majority of the US adult population in states that do not currently have access to sports betting. This represents a significant incremental addressable market for FanDuel in addition to our existing sportsbook and iGaming business. We believe this new sports opportunity lies solely in these states, as prediction markets are having a negligible impact in the states where FanDuel sportsbook is already available to customers. FanDuel Predicts will also accelerate acquisition of customers into the FanDuel ecosystem ahead of the state regulation of sports betting. Furthermore, the strength of our world-class pricing and risk management capabilities present potential market-making opportunities which we continue to assess.
We are exceptionally well positioned to harness this growth opportunity. We have a powerful combination of assets enabled through our strategic partnership with CME Group, who have a long track record of operating the world's leading derivatives marketplace, together with FanDuel's nationwide brand presence and sports betting expertise, which has already successfully delivered a position as the clear leader in sports betting. Our extensive experience operating the Betfair Exchange within the Flutter Group also equips us with a deep understanding of this space.
Our launch strategy has been developed in close consultation with state regulators and tribal authorities, resulting in a tailored, state-specific approach that enables us to launch in those states where no local regulation exists. At launch, FanDuel Predicts will offer sports markets in states without a current sports betting regulatory framework. Sports markets will also be restricted to non-tribal lands. This means that a significant proportion of the US population will soon have access to a brand new FanDuel sports product, operating with the same high standards regarding customer protection, know your customer, and anti-money laundering as all our FanDuel products. A range of financial and cultural markets will also be offered across virtually all states. In our existing sportsbook and iGaming states our primary focus will continue to be the state-regulated market and strengthening our leadership position in our core sports betting and iGaming businesses.
The opportunity to extend the FanDuel footprint into new states is significant and our aspiration is to be the clear market leader. Our investment will therefore be meaningful, while maintaining a disciplined approach, a strategy which has served us so well since the inception of sports betting in the US. At this early stage, we anticipate incremental EBITDA cost of $40-$50m in Q4 2025 and $200m-$300m in 2026 with the majority arising in H2 7. In line with our proven investment strategy on sportsbook to date, we will closely monitor returns with a priority on building value for the future, while also maintaining the flexibility to accelerate investment where performance warrants. We believe this will position FanDuel to deliver future growth and harness the long-term opportunities for our business.
In conclusion, we believe prediction markets present a very significant incremental growth opportunity for FanDuel, and that their evolution will also accelerate the path to state-regulated sports betting and iGaming. In the long-term, we firmly believe that state-regulated sports betting and iGaming remains the most valuable long-term opportunity in the US. The importance of having the best quality sports betting product, combined with the ability to price increasingly complex sports products accurately, cannot be overstated. These are both areas where Flutter and FanDuel excel. As demonstrated by international precedent, long-term success in the US gaming sector will be achieved by those operators with scale positions and the highest quality sports betting product.
US update
Q3 AMP growth in the US was encouraging at 8% year-over-year, with continued strong iGaming AMP growth of 30%, and sportsbook AMP growth of 5% representing an acceleration in year-over-year growth compared to Q2.
FanDuel's revenue performance was underpinned by another very strong iGaming quarter with revenue growth of 44% delivering a GGR market share of 27% in Q3. Player frequency continued to grow with over 500 new slots titles added during the quarter, as access to the proprietary Flutter gaming platform unlocked a faster pace of content delivery. Exclusive content also continued to resonate strongly and drive increased customer engagement, with new Wonka and Samurai titles added in Q3 as well as the latest installment of our Huff and Puff series. Huff 'N Lots of Puff was our most successful game launch to date, setting all-time highs in actives and GGR on launch. Our consistent delivery of innovative and engaging iGaming product features ensures we are well positioned to capitalize on the long-term opportunity. With population penetration still well below our long-term expectations, we believe a very long runway for future growth remains in existing states, before factoring in any future state legalization.
Turning to sportsbook, and while September and October have been impacted by customer-friendly NFL sports results, it is still early in the season. We have complete conviction in our pricing and we remain confident that this short-term variability of outcomes will revert to expected levels over time. Higher levels of parlay and SGP penetration ultimately drive higher structural revenue margin, and we continue to make good progress toward our longer-term 16% structural hold expectation.
The start of the NFL season consistently sees heightened levels of competition in the market and Q3 this year was even more pronounced than in previous years. September was characterized by very high levels of competitor customer generosity, including a range of unsustainable, uneconomic customer offers. These competitive dynamics resulted in lower than anticipated FanDuel NFL handle growth and Same Game Parlay (SGP) penetration in the opening weeks of the season. This impact was transitory in nature, with trends significantly improved by the start of the fourth quarter as FanDuel's disciplined investment approach proved effective. Despite this impact in September, FanDuel's structural advantages ensured we maintained a strong sportsbook market share, with a 47% net gaming revenue (NGR) share of the online sports betting market in September 8.
While market competitive intensity has moderated from the NFL season start, it still remains at elevated levels. FanDuel's scale as the #1 operator in the US (Q3 GGR share: 38%, Q3 NGR share: 41%), has subsequently enabled us to take action to strengthen our market leadership. We responded in a strong but disciplined way at the start of Q4, with increased investment in customer acquisition and retention, and we have been very pleased with the momentum that this has driven.
During the quarter we believe the impact from prediction market activity on our business was negligible, as in regulated states customers continue to prefer the richer experience provided by regulated sportsbooks. Based on our analysis, we believe the vast majority of this activity is taking place in states without sportsbook regulation. We therefore do not see sports prediction markets as a meaningful challenge in states where regulated sportsbooks like FanDuel are available.
From a product perspective, the NFL season launch in September was an important milestone for innovation. FanDuel Futures Day showcased a new, first-to-market NFL feature enabling customers to create season long SGPs, driving high levels of parlay engagement. Live betting represents over half of handle, with further enhancements to our live SGP proposition including expanded NFL drive offerings. This helped deliver an NFL parlay penetration increase of 300 bps in the season to date. Our Your Way feature benefited from the addition of SGP+ capabilities and while this currently remains a separate sportsbook experience, the underlying next-generation pricing technology now powers our entire NFL sportsbook pricing and is driving a number of product improvements. This included an increased range of cashout markets helping drive a 20% increase in cashout activity.
We have been really pleased with our NBA performance since the season start in late October. Customer engagement, handle and SGP penetration are all tracking strongly in the early weeks of the season, giving us confidence that growth this season is shaping up to be stronger than last year. We are excited to see what our new strategic NBA partnership with Amazon Prime can unlock including merchandising integrations, product integrations and in-game virtual signage.
Finally, I wanted to share my thoughts on recent concerns around sports integrity. This is hugely important to us and something we take very seriously across the Group. At FanDuel, we use advanced technology and real-time monitoring to identify suspicious activity and work closely with leagues, data monitoring groups, and law enforcement to alert them to any suspicious activity. This highlights the important role the regulated industry plays in assuring the integrity of these great sports. We will continue to work closely with all key stakeholders to ensure that effective frameworks are in place to protect sports integrity, the players and our customers.
International update
The International division delivered 21% year-over-year revenue growth, with the Snai and Betnacional acquisitions contributing 18 percentage points of the increase. Organic growth was impacted by the cessation of real-money gaming in India and a strong prior-year sportsbook performance, which benefited from the Euros and more favorable sports results. iGaming continued to drive organic growth in Q3, with exceptional growth in Turkey and positive momentum in SisaI's Italian online business.
Our focus on the Flutter Edge is delivering innovation across our International business. In Southern Europe and Africa (SEA), we launched MyCombo on Sisal, the only full SGP product available in the Italian market, in time for the start of the Italian soccer season. Customer engagement has been strong with half of customers placing a MyCombo bet during the first seven rounds of the season.
The September integration of Flutter Studios into the SEA Italian online platform has enabled in-house content to be offered to our Italian customers, with a strong pipeline of future content. In July, we migrated PokerStars Italian customers to our SEA platform, a key milestone in the PokerStars transformation which will deliver material savings in 2027 after completion of the final migration from the existing PokerStars technology stack.
The Snai integration has been progressing well; we have enhanced the iGaming proposition, optimized retail gaming machines and commission structures, and increased customer acquisition volumes by deploying Sisal's proven retail signup program. The migration of Snai customers to the SEA online platform remains on track for H1 2026, providing increased confidence in our Snai synergy targets.
In the UK and Ireland (UKI), the successful migration of Sky Bet onto our shared Flutter UKI platform has enabled delivery of new product and improvements for our Sky Bet customers. This included the launch of our highly popular SuperSub offering and the new Squad Bet proposition, powered by our next-generation pricing capability. Continued roll out of premium content has also helped drive positive iGaming momentum.
There has been much speculation around potential gaming tax increases in the upcoming UK budget. We remain engaged with policymakers and expect decisions will be based on economic merit, taking into account the industry's substantial contribution to UK tax revenues and employment. Significant increases to the tax rates would threaten jobs and investment across the UK market, as well as driving more customers to unregulated operators on the black market - where there are no player protections and regulatory oversight. We continue to engage with policymakers and await the outcome in the Budget later this month, however, should taxes increase, Flutter's growing scale and market leading position will help to mitigate the impact, and we would likely benefit from the consolidation of share among sub-scale operators over time.
Brazil is an exciting growth opportunity for Flutter and we retain a strong conviction that scale operators with the best products will win the largest share of the market. This quarter, our expanding portfolio of games and more sophisticated generosity delivered record iGaming revenues. On sportsbook we will continue to integrate Flutter's in-house pricing capabilities and generosity functionality to materially elevate the overall customer proposition ahead of the World Cup next year.
The good progress we are making across the numerous transformation projects both detailed above and in previous quarters, is helping us deliver further scale benefits and positions us to deliver enhanced experiences for our customers. Our cost efficiency drivers go beyond the $300m target we set out our Investor Day last year, with the redesign of our UKI organizational structure a good example of an incremental initiative.
Outside of performance during the quarter, the enactment of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 forced Junglee and all other operators to immediately cease real-money operations. We are extremely disappointed with the sudden and unexpected change to the regulatory landscape in India. Flutter has invested significantly in India over the last number of years, responsibly delivering innovative skill-based games to Indian customers. Junglee will now only offer free-to-play gaming content as we assess our medium-term options in that market.
Final thoughts and outlook
As I think about the remainder of the year, I am excited to expand our portfolio in the US to include FanDuel Predicts, harnessing the significant opportunity for FanDuel in this space. I am also confident that our US market leadership, and the diversification of our International business will position us well for the rest of the year and into 2026. We have a strong platform for executing our capital allocation strategy, with a continued focus on creating long-term shareholder value.
Sincerely,
Peter Jackson
Flutter CEO
Group
The Group delivered AMP and revenue growth of 9% and 17%, respectively. Excluding M&A revenue grew 5%. Organic iGaming revenue growth of 19% year-over-year helped to offset the impact of customer friendly sports results.
The net loss of $789m for the quarter increased by $675m from $114m in Q3 2024, primarily due to:
These were partly offset by:
In addition to the above, the Group benefited from non-controlling interest credits totaling $99m, primarily relating to the adjustment of Betnacional losses and the impact of the reduction in Junglee's redemption value. The net loss attributable to Flutter shareholders was therefore $690m with an increased loss per share for the quarter of $3.91.
Adjusted EBITDA of $478m grew 6%, with adjusted EBITDA margin 130bps lower, principally due to the impact of the above detailed performance drivers. Adjusted earnings per share for the period grew 29% to $1.64 primarily reflecting the adjusted EBITDA performance above and the impact of the non-controlling interest credits.
The Group’s net cash provided by operating activities, and free cash flow declined by 28% and 78% respectively, primarily due to the Boyd payment of $205m. Cashflow also reflected the adjusted EBITDA performance detailed above, and a year-on-year benefit from derivative settlements of $179m (Q3 2025: $30m payment, Q3 2024: $209m payment). These were offset by a smaller working capital inflow year-over-year due to the unfavorable swing in Group sports results year-over-year from being bookmaker friendly in Q3 2024 to customer friendly in Q3 2025.
US
US Q3 AMPs of 3.5m grew 8% year-over-year. (Pre-2024 state AMPs +10%, and pre-2022 state AMPs +11% 11). Revenue grew 9%, driven by iGaming revenue growth of 44% offsetting a sportsbook revenue decline of 5%.
Sportsbook revenue performance was driven by handle growth of 6%, offset by a net revenue margin decline of 80 basis points year-over-year to 7.4%.
The decrease in net revenue margin included:
iGaming revenue grew 44%, underpinned by AMP growth of 30% and an increase in player frequency year-over-year.
Cost of sales increased by 120bps, driven primarily by the year-over-year swing in sports results combined with the impact of higher gaming taxes in IL, LA, NJ, and MD. These impacts were partly offset by the improved market access terms secured through the Boyd transaction.
Sales and marketing expenses were 11% higher year-over-year in line with plans to spend a greater proportion of 2025 investment during H2, and increased by 20bps as a percentage of revenue to 22.4% due to the impact of sports results. Technology, research and development costs were 22% higher year-over-year, primarily as a result of the scaling of data storage and processing costs and talent investment. General and administrative costs were 8% lower as we lapped Missouri referendum costs in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $51m (Q3 2024 $58m), with a reduction in adjusted EBITDA margin of 90bps year-over-year driven by the factors detailed above.
International
International revenue was 21% higher year-over year (up 19% on a constant currency 13 basis, "cc"), with AMPs 10% higher. International revenue excluding M&A was 3% higher year-over-year.
Sportsbook revenue was 11% higher year-over-year and down 6% excluding M&A. Sportsbook handle grew 13% year-over-year and was down 3% excluding M&A, with the organic performance reflecting a strong 2024 prior-year comparative period, which contained the Euros, which alone accounted for 4% of handle in Q3 2024.
Sportsbook net revenue margin decreased by 30bps year-over-year to 12.4%:
iGaming revenue was 31% higher year-over-year and increased by 10% excluding M&A. Organic growth in SEA of 24% was driven by Sisal Italy online growth of 46% and Turkey growth of 65%, which more than offset the cessation of trading in India reflected in Asia Pacific (APAC).
Revenue performance across our International regions year-over-year was as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 10% year-over-year to $505m and was in line year-over-year excluding M&A. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.8%, a 230bps reduction, reflective of our investment phase in Brazil.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased by 300bps to 48.1%, with the acquisition of Snai and Betnacional contributing 200bps of the increase. The remaining 100bps organic increase was primarily driven by increased taxes in CEE and in Betfair Brazil, along with a continued shift in revenue mix in favor of iGaming, which incurs higher third party costs than sportsbook.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 19% year-over-year and decreased by 3% excluding M&A. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing reduced by 40bps to 17.0%, benefitting from the growth in SEA and CEE regions where marketing spend is lower as a percentage of revenue.
Technology, research and development costs were 4% higher year-over-year but decreased by 4% excluding M&A. General and administrative costs were 26% higher and increased by 12% excluding M&A with the organic increase driven by additional investment in SEA, and the lapping of a $18m credit relating to a historic legal case adjustment in Q3 2024.
Unallocated corporate overhead increased by 13% year-over-year driven by the transfer of some technology costs from our International division to be managed and reported centrally within corporate.
Capital structure
Available cash increased $244m year-over-year, closing at approximately $1.7bn. The change in total debt from $6,736m at December 31, 2024 to $12,099m at September 30, 2025 reflects financing secured at attractive terms for the Snai and Betnacional acquisitions, and the purchase of Boyd's 5% interest in FanDuel for $1.76bn on July 31, 2025. Net debt was $10,602m at the end of Q3 2025, with a leverage ratio 2 of 4.0x at September 30, 2025 (2.2x at December 31, 2024). The leverage ratio would be 3.7x based on the last 12 months adjusted EBITDA including Snai 2. We continue to expect our leverage to reduce rapidly given the highly visible and profitable growth opportunities that exist across the Group. We remain committed to our medium-term leverage ratio target of 2.0-2.5x.
The share repurchase program continued in Q3 2025, with 770 thousand shares repurchased in the quarter for a consideration of $225m excluding excise duties. The authorized Q4 program subsequently completed on November 3, 2025, with the repurchase of a further 1.02 million shares for a consideration of $245m. This brings the total cash returned to shareholders since the beginning of the share repurchase program to $1.12bn, of a total of $5bn to be returned over the coming years, representing 2% of Flutter's issued share capital 14. The program will continue into 2026, with a Q1 2026 repurchase of up to $250m.
Guidance
Q4 has started well on an underlying basis. In the US, FanDuel's increased customer acquisition and retention investment in Q4 is proving effective with continued player momentum and year-over-year handle growth stepping up to 10% quarter to date with the NBA season off to a strong start. Sports results, however, have been customer friendly across the Group with an adjusted EBITDA impact of approximately $170m from October 1, through November 9, 2025 6.
2025 outlook 5 is therefore primarily updated to include the impact of: (i) Q3 performance, (ii) Q4 sports results 6, (iii) Q4 sportsbook investment, (iv) FanDuel Predicts investment 7, (v) tax costs associated with the Illinois wager fee which we are now treating as taxable, and (vi) Indian regulatory change
The reduction to the midpoints of our previous guidance are summarized in the table below:
Our updated outlook for 2025 now includes the following midpoints:
Group: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $16.69bn and $2.915bn, representing 19% and 24% year-over-year growth, respectively.
US: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $7.17bn and $935m, representing year-over-year growth of 24% and 84%, respectively.
This comprises guidance for both existing and new states as follows:
International: revenue and adjusted EBITDA of $9.52bn and $2.24bn, representing year-over-year growth of 15% and 8%, respectively.
Unallocated corporate overhead: cost guidance of $260m due to a movement of costs from International.
Other items: unchanged from Q2 guidance.
Guidance is provided (i) on the basis that sports results are in line with our expected margin for the remainder of the year, (ii) at stated foreign exchange rates 17 and (iii) on the basis of a consistent regulatory and tax framework except where otherwise stated.
A reconciliation of our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such a reconciliation to be prepared of items that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Notes
Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures
This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Flutter Shareholders, Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”), leverage ratio, leverage ratio including Snai, Net Debt, Free Cash Flow, and constant currency which are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are presented solely as supplemental disclosures to reported GAAP measures because we believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance, similar to measures reported by its publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by analysts, lenders, financial institutional and investors as measures of performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Flutter Shareholders, Adjusted EPS, leverage ratio, Net Debt, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Depreciation are not intended to be substitutes for any GAAP financial measures, and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.
Constant currency reflects certain operating results on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refer to the exchange rates used to translate our operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar, into U.S. Dollars. Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results. In general, our financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. Dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. Dollar. References to operating results on a constant-currency basis mean operating results without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We believe the disclosure of constant-currency results is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our results by increasing the transparency of our underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA by translating prior-period revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, using the average exchange rates from the current period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect in the prior period.
Last twelve months ("LTM") net income is defined on a Group basis as net income for the year ended December 31, 2024, minus net income for nine months ended September 30, 2024 and plus net income for nine months ended September 30, 2025.
LTM net income including Snai is defined on a Group basis as LTM net income plus Snai's net income for the seven months ended April 30, 2025 prior to the completion of acquisition. Snai’s historical condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). We have made adjustments to conform Snai’s financial information prepared under IFRS to U.S. GAAP.
LTM adjusted net income including Snai is defined on a Group basis as LTM adjusted net income, after adjusting for the following:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined on a Group basis as net income (loss) before income taxes; other income, net; interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization; transaction fees and associated costs; restructuring and integration costs; impairment of property and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and goodwill and share based compensation expense.
LTM adjusted EBITDA including Snai is defined on a Group basis as LTM adjusted net income including Snai before income taxes; other expense, net; interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; transaction fees and associated costs; and restructuring and integration costs.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, respectively.
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Flutter Shareholders is defined as net income (loss) as adjusted for after-tax effects of transaction fees and associated costs; restructuring and integration costs; gaming taxes dispute, amortization of acquired intangibles, accelerated amortization, loss (gain) on settlement of long-term debt; impairment of property and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and goodwill; financing related fees not eligible for capitalization; gain from disposal of businesses, fair value (gain)/loss on derivative instruments, fair value (gain)/loss on contingent consideration, fair value (gain)/loss on Fox Option Liability and fair value (gain)/loss on investment, and share-based compensation.
Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to Flutter shareholders by the number of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding in the period.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted net income attributable to Flutter shareholders and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures and should not be viewed as measures of overall operating performance, indicators of our performance, considered in isolation, or construed as alternatives to operating profit (loss), net income (loss) measures or earnings per share, or as alternatives to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as measures of liquidity, or as alternatives to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP.
Management has historically used these measures when evaluating operating performance because we believe that they provide additional perspective on the financial performance of our core business.
Adjusted EBITDA has further limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:
Net debt is defined as total debt, excluding premiums, discounts, and deferred financing expense, and the effect of foreign exchange that is economically hedged as a result of our cross-currency interest rate swaps reflecting the net cash outflow on maturity less cash and cash equivalents.
Leverage ratio is defined as net debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our financial leverage. We present net debt to Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is more representative of our financial position as it is reflective of our ability to cover our net debt obligations with results from our core operations, and is an indicator of our ability to obtain additional capital resources for our future cash needs. We believe net debt is a meaningful financial measure that may assist investors in understanding our financial condition and recognizing underlying trends in our capital structure. The Leverage Ratio is not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP financial ratios. Other companies may calculate leverage ratios differently.
Leverage ratio including Snai is defined as net debt divided by LTM adjusted EBITDA including Snai.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less payments for property and equipment, intangible assets and capitalized software. We believe that excluding these items from free cash flow better portrays our ability to generate cash, as such items are not indicative of our operating performance for the period. This non-GAAP measure may be useful to investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental measure of our cash performance, but should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to operating cash flows presented in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Our calculation of Free Cash Flow may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
Adjusted depreciation is defined as depreciation and amortization excluding amortization of acquired intangibles.
