- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation — These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim reporting and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, certain notes or other information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”). These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year, due to seasonal fluctuations in the Group’s revenue as a result of the timing of various sports seasons, sporting events and other factors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disclosure, in the notes to consolidated financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted.

The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods with early adoption permitted on any date on or after the issuance of ASU 2025-09. The Group is currently assessing the timing of adoption and the potential impacts of ASU 2025-09.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, with the objective to improve the navigability and applicable guidance of the required interim disclosures.

- SEGMENTS AND DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE
The Group hastwo reportable segments:
U.S.; and
International
The Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Group’s Chief Executive Officer.
The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to allocate resources for each operating segment, which is derived predominantly from the annual budget and forecasting processes. The CODM evaluates performance based on the Adjusted EBITDA of each operating segment by comparing actual results to previously forecasted financial information on a monthly basis. Adjusted EBITDA of each segment is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes; other (expense) income, net; interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization; transaction fees and associated costs; restructuring and integration costs; legal settlements/(loss contingencies) and gaming tax disputes; impairment of property and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and goodwill and share-based compensation charges.
The Group manages its assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment. As the CODM does not regularly review any asset information by operating segment, the Group therefore does not report asset information by operating segment.

The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
| Three months endedJune 30, | Six months endedJune 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ($ in millions) | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |
| (Loss) income before income taxes | $(299) | $205 | $(65) | $559 |
| Income tax (benefit) expense | (3) | 168 | 22 | 187 |
| Effective tax rate | 1.0% | 82.0% | (33.8)% | 33.5% |
The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for the applicable fiscal year, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the interim period in which they are incurred. The Group’s effective tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, where income is earned and the level of income relative to tax attributes.
The change between the Group’s effective income tax rate of 1.0% and 82.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, was primarily due to the net impact of jurisdictional mix of earnings and discrete items. The discrete items for these periods primarily comprised of the change in the fair value gain on the Fox Option liability and the loss making jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is recognized. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, discrete items included income tax expense resulting from the reorganization of our Betfair Brazil business and increase in our liabilities for various unrecognized tax benefits. Additionally, the Group’s effective income tax rate was affected by share-based compensation tax shortfall for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with an excess tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

The discrete items for these periods primarily comprised of the change in the fair value gain on the Fox Option liability and the loss making jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is recognized. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 discrete items also included, the effect of a contribution to a super political action committee to strengthen our advocacy initiatives which is nondeductible for income tax purposes, whereasfor the six months ended June 30, 2025, discrete items also included income tax expense resulting from the reorganization of our Betfair Brazil business and increase in our liabilities for various unrecognized tax benefits. Additionally, the Group’s effective income tax rate was affected by a share-based compensation tax shortfall for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with an excess tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
As previously reported, we have received a discovery assessment from His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs authority (“HMRC”) relating to an intragroup transfer of intellectual property from the United Kingdom to the United States for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2026, we are in the process of appealing this assessment and previously recognized an unrecognized tax benefit for the estimated settlement which is included in Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not expect to resolve this matter in the near term and will continue to assess the recognition and measurement criteria of the tax position. While the Group believes that we have strong arguments, there can be no assurance this matter will be resolved favorably.
In May 2026, we received notices of amended assessments from the Australian Tax Office relating to the valuation of intragroup royalties for fiscal years 2014 to 2021. See Note 16 “Commitments and Contingencies” for further details in relation to this ongoing Australia income tax dispute.
Each year the Group files hundreds of tax returns in various national, state, and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the tax authorities. The Group has ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions and evaluates tax positions that may be challenged by tax authorities in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As of June 30, 2026, the Group does not expect there to be any material changes to its existing unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate, due to the current position with taxing authorities.
Effective from fiscal 2024, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Global Anti-Abuse Erosion (GLoBE) rules under Pillar Two have been enacted by various countries in which the Group operates. The Group currently does not expect a material impact to the effective tax rate in connection with Pillar Two for the current year ending December 31, 2026.

- DERIVATIVES
In the normal course of the Group’s business operations, the Group is exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency rates. In order to manage these risks, the Group uses derivative instruments such as cross-currency interest rate swaps, interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, options and other instruments with similar characteristics. None of the Group’s derivative instruments are used for speculative purposes.
Cash flow hedges
Interest rate risk arising from a portion of the Group’s floating interest rate USD First Lien Term Loan B maturing in 2030 and 2032, along with foreign currency risk arising from the Group’s fixed rate USD Senior Secured Notes maturing in 2029 are managed using interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps, which are designated as cash flow hedges with the objective of reducing the volatility of interest expense in the case of the USD First Lien Term Loan B and foreign currency risk in the case of fixed rate USD Senior Secured Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group also hedged foreign currency risk arising from the Group’s floating interest rate USD First Lien Term Loan B maturing in 2030 and 2032.
Cross-currency interest rate swaps
The cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as a hedge of the foreign currency risk arising from the USD Senior Secured Notes effectively convert the fixed rate USD Senior Secured Notes to fixed rate GBP Senior Secured Notes.
Foreign currency risk is managed by exchanging contractual amounts at exchange rates and interest rates determined at contract inception.
Interest rate swaps
The interest rate swaps designated as a hedge of the interest risk arising from the USD First Lien Term Loan B effectively converts the variable rate term loan into a fixed rate term loan. Interest risk is managed by exchanging contractual amounts at interest rates determined at contract inception.
The following table summarizes the Group's outstanding derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:
| As of June 30, 2026 · As of December 31, 2025 | |||||

Fair value hedges
Cross-currency interest rate swaps
Foreign currency risk arising from a portion of the Group's USD Senior Secured Notes due 2031 is managed using receive fixed rate, pay variable rate and pay variable rate, receive variable rate cross-currency interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing the volatility of foreign currency gains and losses. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group also hedged foreign currency risk arising from the Group’s floating rate USD First Lien Term Loan B.
Foreign currency risk is eliminated by exchanging contractual amounts at exchange rates which are determined at contract inception.
As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the notional amounts of cross-currency interest rate swaps designated in a fair value hedge of the USD Senior Secured Notes was $1,000 million (maturing June 4, 2027).
The Group recorded a foreign currency loss of $2 million and a gain of $15 million in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2025: $106 million loss and $150 million loss, respectively), which offset the respective foreign currency gain and loss in respect of the USD First Lien Term Loan B and USD Senior Secured Notes, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.
The Group excludes the cross-currency basis spread in the swaps from the hedge effectiveness assessment and recognizes the excluded component into earnings through the periodic interest settlements on the swaps. Changes in the fair value of the excluded components recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) werenil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 (three and six months ended June 30, 2025: $3 million loss and $4 million loss, respectively). The amount recognized in earnings in foreign exchange gain, net, which is a component of other income (expense), net wasnil and
$1 million loss for three and six months ended June 30, 2026 respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2025: $2 million loss and $3 million loss, respectively).
Interest rate swaps
Interest rate risk from changes in three month SOFR arising from the fixed rate Senior Secured Notes due 2031 is managed using interest rate swaps that effectively convert the fixed rate senior secured notes into variable rate senior secured notes. Interest risk is managed by exchanging contractual amounts at interest rates determined at swap contract inception.
The notional amount of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk on the USD Senior Secured Notes was $500 million (maturing June 4, 2027) as of June 30, 2026 ($500 million as of December 31, 2025).

Net investment hedges
The Group has investments in various subsidiaries with Euro and USD functional currencies. As a result, the Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations between the Euro and GBP and USD and GBP exchange rates. The Group designated its Euro denominated Term Loan A and Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and 2031 and a portion of its USD Term Loan B (fully discontinued on December 31, 2025) and receive variable rate, pay variable rate cross-currency interest swaps in net investment hedges whereby the Group will receive GBP from, and pay Euro to, the counterparties at exchange rates which are determined at swap contract inception, as a net investment hedge which are intended to mitigate foreign currency exposure related to non-GBP net investments in certain Euro and USD functional subsidiaries.

- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Group’s consolidated financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, player deposits, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, player deposit liability, and other current liabilities are carried at amortized cost. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair values because of their short-term nature.
The carrying amount of long-term debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement dated November 24, 2023, (as amended), approximates its fair values, as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates. The fair value of the USD Senior Secured Notes, Euro Senior Secured Notes, and GBP Senior Secured Notes was $2,152 million, $1,539 million and $928 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: $2,190 million, $1,603 million and $952 million, respectively). The fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Valuation of Level 2 financial instruments
Available for sale – Player deposits – investments
The Group has determined the fair value of available for sale – player deposits – investments by using observable quoted prices or observable input parameters derived from comparable bonds/markets. Although the Group has determined that a number of the bonds fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, there are a class of bonds which have been classified as Level 2 due to the existence of relatively inactive trading markets for those bonds.
Derivative financial assets and liabilities – Swap agreements
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage its interest rate and foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, such as yield curves, spot and forward foreign exchange rates.
As of June 30, 2026, the Group assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Group determined that its valuations of its derivatives in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Valuation of Level 3 financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments
Fox Option liability
On October 2, 2019, the Group entered into an arrangement with Fox Corporation (“Fox”), pursuant to which FSG Services LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fox, has an option (the Fox Option) to acquire an 18.6% equity interest of the then outstanding investor units (the “Fastball Units”) in FanDuel Group Parent LLC (“FanDuel”). In April 2021, Fox filed an arbitration claim against the Group with respect to its option to acquire an 18.6% equity interest in FanDuel seeking the same price that the Group paid for the acquisition of the Fastball Units (37.2% of FanDuel) from Fastball Holdings LLC in December 2020. On November 7, 2022, the arbitration tribunal determined the option price as of December 2020 to be $3.7 billion plus an annual escalator of 5.0%. Fox has aten-year period from December 2020 within which to exercise the Fox Option, should it wish to do so, and should Fox not exercise within this timeframe, the Fox Option shall lapse. Cash payment is required at the time of exercise and the Fox Option can only be exercised in full. Exercise of the Fox Option requires Fox to be licensed.
The fair value of the Fox Option liability amounted to $220 million as of June 30, 2026 and $560 million as of December 31, 2025 which was determined using an option pricing model. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the option exercise price was $4.9 billion and $4.8 billion respectively. The significant unobservable inputs were the enterprise value of FanDuel, the discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”), the discount for lack of control (“DLOC”), implied volatility and probability of Fox getting licensed.
The enterprise value of FanDuel was determined using an equal weight to the value indications of the discounted cash flow analysis and the guideline public company analysis. The discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis was 16.5% and 18.0% as of each of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Additionally, management applied a combined 30.0% discount for lack of marketability and lack of control as of each of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. A range of DLOMs obtained using various securities-based approaches was 13.9% to 22.2%. DLOC was estimated at 20.0% using implied discounts in previous observable transactions involving FanDuel’s equity ownership and data based on Mergerstat studies as of each of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Management selected a discount rate of 30.0%, which lies in the first quartile based on the ranges considered by management.
The volatility was 40.0% and 32.0% as of each of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which was within the range of selected comparable companies. In developing the fair value measurement, the probability of a market participant submitting to and obtaining a license was estimated at 75.0% as of each of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Changes in discount rates, revenue multiples, DLOM, DLOC, implied volatility and probability of Fox getting licensed, each in isolation, may change the fair value of the Fox Option liability. Generally, an increase in discount rates, DLOM and DLOC or decrease in revenue multiples, volatility and probability of Fox getting licensed may result in a decrease in the fair value of the Fox Option liability. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of the Fox Option liability, the fair value of the Fox Option liability may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Fox Option liability may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a readily available market existed for FanDuel Group LLC. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the Fox Option may cause the losses ultimately realized on the Fox Option liability to be different than the unrealized losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.
Redeemable non-controlling interests at fair value
The terms of symmetrical call and put options agreed between the Group and NSX shareholders require exercise price to be calculated at fair market value without giving effect to DLOM and DLOC. The enterprise value of the Brazil reporting unit was determined using an equal weight to the value indications of the discounted cash flow analysis and the guideline public company analysis. For discounted cash flow the Group based discount rates on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”). The WACC combines the required return on equity based on a Capital Asset Pricing Model, which considers the risk-free interest rate based on yield of the 10-year Brazilian Government Bond, market risk premium, and small company premium with the cost of debt of 10.2%, based on BBB credit spread plus the Brazilian risk free rate, adjusted using income tax factor. The beta and ratio of weighted cost of capital was determined based on guideline public company analysis. The median of beta and ratio of equity to debt was 1.05 and 61:39, respectively. The arithmetic average of beta and ratio of equity to debt was 1.04 and 66:34, respectively. The calculation resulted in a WACC of 17.5%. The Exit revenue multiple used in determining the terminal value is based on guideline public companies and the profitability of the Brazil reporting unit was 1.3x. For market approach the equity value was arrived at by multiplying revenue by a revenue multiple of 1.4x based on the median of the Guideline Public company multiples and a control premium of 10% based on the lowest end of the Guideline Public Company Control Premium.
Changes in WACC, revenue multiple and control premium, each in isolation, may change the fair value of NSX redeemable non-controlling interest. An increase in WACC would result in a decrease in fair value, an increase in revenue multiple would result in an increase in fair value and an increase in control premium would result in an increase in fair value. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the symmetrical call and put options may cause the fair value of the NSX redeemable non-controlling interest to be different from the fair value reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Legal Contingencies
The Group is involved, from time to time, in various litigation, administrative and other legal proceedings, including regulatory actions, incidental or related to its business. The Group establishes an accrued liability for legal claims and indemnification claims when the Group determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The estimates are based on all known facts at the time and our assessment of the ultimate outcome. As additional information becomes available, the Group reassesses the potential liability related to our pending claims and litigation, which may also revise our estimates. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to these matters may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued. Due to the unpredictable nature of litigation, there can be no assurance that our accruals will be sufficient to cover the extent of our potential exposure to losses. Any fees, expenses, fines, penalties, judgments, or settlements which might be incurred by us in connection with the various proceedings could affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Austrian and German player claims
As previously reported, the Group has seen a number of player claims in Austria and Germany for reimbursement of historic gaming losses. The basis of these claims is rooted in the Group having provided remote services in Austria and Germany (outside of Schleswig-Holstein) from Maltese entities on the basis of multi-jurisdictional Maltese licenses, which the Group continues to believe is compliant in accordance with EU law. However, the Austrian Courts and certain German Courts consider the Group’s services non-compliant with their respective local laws. The Group strongly disputes the basis of these claims and judgments made by Austrian and German courts in awarding the player’s claims. An increasing number of German courts have ruled in our favor based on mainly procedural factors rather than the argument that the services from Malta were lawful in Germany.
As of June 30, 2026, the Group has recorded an amount of €17 million ($19 million) within loss contingencies forming part of other current liabilities. It is reasonably possible that the actual losses could be in excess of the Group’s accrual. The Group is unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of its accrual due to the complexities and uncertainty around the judicial process.
In addition, there are further claims made against the Group amounting to €46 million ($52 million)as of June 30, 2026, the settlement of which is predicated on the merits of the case and whether the enforcement proceedings are successful in laying claim over the Group’s Maltese assets for settlement of these claims. The Group, based on advice from its legal counsel, believes such cross-border enforcement of judgments is in contravention to Maltese public policy and Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 and has not accrued any liability for these claims. The Group has filed countersuits before the Maltese Civil Court for setting aside these claims. The defendants have also filed garnishee orders with the Maltese Civil Court to attach the Group’s Maltese assets, some of which have already been declined by the Maltese Civil Court. Should the Maltese Courts decide in favor of the Group, the Group believes that there would be grounds for dismissal of all pending player claims instituted against the Group.
Furthermore, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, a new claim by Austrian players was issued in Belgium, which included a claim for $27 million. While the Group believes that it has strong arguments, at this time, the Group is unable to reasonably estimate the likelihood of the outcome of these claims due to the complexities and uncertainty around the judicial process.
Cybersecurity Incident
As previously reported, the Group received notice in 2023 that certain customer and employee data was involved in the global incident involving the MOVEit file transfer software, which began when the third-party provider administering the software announced that it had identified a previously unknown vulnerability in MOVEit. The Group had previously used MOVEit to share data and manage file transfers similar to many companies globally. Once the Group was informed of the incident, the Group promptly undertook responsive measures, including restricting access to the affected application, launching an internal investigation in partnership with outside independent cybersecurity forensic consultants and notifying the relevant regulators and law enforcement agencies, as well as our employees and customers, impacted by the incident. Three US customers filed class action suits for US customers after the incident and later consolidated these into a single case.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Group entered into a settlement negotiation and as of June 30, 2026, the Group has recorded an immaterial provision (December 31, 2025: Nil) within loss contingencies forming part of other current liabilities, based on management’s best estimate of the expected settlement amount.
Fast Code Class Action
In January 2025, a class action was initiated on behalf of customers who placed losing bets on live sporting events using Sportsbet’s Fast Codes Service. The suit alleges that the Fast Codes Service did not comply with the Interactive Gambling Act (Cth) and consequently, that Sportsbet engaged in breach of contract, and / or misleading and deceptive conduct in offering it to customers. Sportsbet denies these allegations.
The matter has progressed through key procedural stages, including formal mediation (as ordered by the court) in March 2026, but remains unresolved. The trial is scheduled to commence in August 2026. The Group remains confident in its position and intends to vigorously defend the matter. At this time, the Group cannot reasonably estimate potential losses, or a range thereof, and no loss contingency has been recorded for this matter.
Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) rate applicable to operations in India
As previously reported, Junglee and PokerStars India have been subject to investigations and notices from India’s Directorate General of Goods & Services Tax Intelligence (the “DGGI”) in relation to the historical characterization of real-money games of skill for Goods & Services Tax (“GST”) purposes. While both entities ceased offering real-money gaming in India following the enactment of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act in August 2025; the retrospective assessment relates to the period from GST implementation in 2017 through to 2023.
On May 27, 2026, the Supreme Court of India upheld the retrospective levy of 28%, determining that real-money games of skill constitute betting and gambling for GST purposes and therefore should have been taxed at the higher rate of 28%. Based on the Supreme Court's written judgment indicating deposits as the applicable tax base, the Group expects any final demand to be significantly lower than the ₹198.5 billion ($2.1 billion) previously disclosed, although the ultimate amount remains subject to the position taken by the Indian tax authorities, including with respect to interest, penalties, and applicable periods. As of the date of issue of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, no final tax demand has been received.
Having conducted a thorough review of the Group's exposure, including an assessment of the expected realizable value of the assets of Junglee and PokerStars India, the Group has recorded a provision of $62 million forming part of non-current liabilities. The provision reflects the Group's assessment of the potential exposure associated with this matter.
The Group is closely monitoring developments, including the timing and content of any final tax demand, and will continue to evaluate its available legal options.
Income tax dispute in relation to operations in Australia
In May 2026, we received notices of amended assessments from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”) relating to the valuation of intragroup royalties for fiscal years 2014 to 2021. The Group disputes the ATO’s amended assessment notices.
In accordance with the ATO’s dispute resolution practices, the Group paid 50% of the assessed income tax (exclusive of interest and penalties) of $53 million (A$74 million) in the second quarter of 2026 to facilitate the formal appeal of the ATO’s assessment, with the balance of the assessments remaining unpaid pending final resolution of this matter. If the Group is ultimately successful, amounts prepaid to the ATO would be refunded. As of June 30, 2026, the payment has been recorded within “Other non-current assets” as a tax assessment deposit in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Group has not recognized any tax expense in relation to this matter. The Group does not expect to resolve this matter in the near term and will continue to reassess the recognition and measurement criteria of the position.
Proposed tax assessments related to fantasy sports operations
In August 2020, the Office of the Chief Counsel of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued a Generic Legal Advice Memorandum expressing the view that fantasy sports entry fees are wagers. Consistent with this view, in June 2026, the IRS issued Notices of Proposed Adjustments (“NOPAs”) proposing additional tax assessments for tax years 2018 to 2021. The proposed adjustments primarily relate to the IRS’s assertion that the Group had withholding tax obligations with respect to certain fantasy sports winnings, together with related information reporting matters, including, the alleged failure to timely or accurately furnish Forms W-2G. While the subsequent tax years remain open to possible examination by the IRS, the IRS has not yet proposed any adjustments for those years. The Group has been granted an extension to respond to the 30-day notice issued in connection with the NOPAs until September 2026.
The Group disagrees with the IRS’s position and intends to pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies. As of the date of issue of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group has determined that it is not probable that the IRS’s position will ultimately be sustained, and as a result, no provision has been recorded. However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these or related examinations, any subsequent challenge, or the impact of adverse judicial rulings in other cases. In addition, if Group is ultimately unsuccessful in its administrative challenge of the NOPAs, it may be required to make a protective payment to pursue further judicial remedies; any such payment would not constitute an admission of liability and would be recorded as a tax assessment deposit within “Other non-current assets” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On June 12, 2026, the Group announced that it had requested and received approval from the London Stock Exchange (the “LSE”) to be delisted, and on August 3, 2026, it delisted from the LSE. The LSE delisting is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or operating results other than in relation to expected savings in compliance and certain ancillary costs associated with maintaining the LSE listing.
