Inspired Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2025 Results
Transition Underway to More Digital, Scalable, Higher Margin Business
NEW YORK, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (“Inspired” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: INSE), a leading B2B provider of gaming content, technology, hardware and services, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
“Our fourth quarter results reflect the strength of our underlying business and the progress we are making in advancing our strategic priorities,” said Brooks Pierce, President and CEO of Inspired. “We delivered record Interactive revenue (+53% YoY) and Adjusted EBITDA (+60% YoY), underscoring the scalability and operating leverage of our digital core growth engine. With digital representing 52% of Adjusted EBITDA 2 following the November divestiture of our holiday parks business, we achieved a record Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter 3.
Content continues to be a key differentiator across the portfolio. In Gaming, customers with new terminal deployments in our UK and Greece estates delivered double-digit gross win growth, supporting further share gains. In Virtual Sports, our new Virtual Soccer BetBuilder™ product in Greece is still in its early stages but is already driving increases in total bet volume and gross win, positioning us well for a broader rollout ahead of this summer’s World Cup. We remain focused on investing in product innovation and new content studios to build on this momentum and further strengthen our competitive position.”
Pierce added, “We have also strengthened our balance sheet, repaying approximately $13 million of debt 4 and opportunistically repurchasing shares. We will continue to allocate capital thoughtfully while maintaining our focus on consistent performance, improved cash conversion, and long-term shareholder value.”
“Looking ahead, we see substantial opportunity across our portfolio,” Lorne Weil, Executive Chairman of Inspired, continued. “Our confidence is grounded in the expanding scale of our Interactive platform, a robust pipeline of innovative content, and continued geographic expansion. These growth drivers are compounding and position us to deliver sustainable, scalable performance over the long term.
We have been deliberate in reshaping the business toward a more digital, higher-margin model, and our fourth quarter results validate that strategy. We are gaining share, improving profitability, and increasing financial flexibility; creating greater optionality as we deploy capital to the highest-return opportunities.
We expect 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $112 million to $118 million 1. At the midpoint, this represents double-digit growth versus 2025 excluding the divested holiday parks business. We expect earnings to build progressively through the year, with our focus on converting earnings into stronger free cash flow generation and further enhancing long-term shareholder value.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. We use these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis. We believe that these measures are also commonly used in our industry to measure performance. For these reasons, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide expanded insight into our business, in addition to standard U.S. GAAP financial measures. There are no uniform rules for defining and using non-GAAP financial measures, and as a result the measures we use may not be comparable to measures used by other companies, even if they have similar labels. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financial statements.
We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustments (see Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table). Such additional excluded amounts include stock-based compensation U.S. GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in the value of earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension plans. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and acquisition costs, (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business and (4) the costs of the restatement of previously issued financial statements.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure, because it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating results and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss, because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities). Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which affect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately by management.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) excluding the effects of certain exclusions and adjustments. Such excluded amounts include income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension plans. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business. These items have been adjusted to reflect the tax impact from excluding them from net income (loss).
Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is computed by dividing the Adjusted Net Income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effects of any potentially dilutive securities, including RSUs, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method, unless the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Functional Currency at Constant rate. Currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP:USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior year quarter, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior year quarter average GBP: USD rate, as a proxy for functional currency at constant rate movement.
Currency Movement represents the difference between the results in our reporting currency (USD) and the results on a functional currency at constant rate basis.
Reconciliations from net income (loss), as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, to Adjusted EBITDA are shown below.
