  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 18, 2026.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial condition, its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of future results, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.

The Company consolidates the financial results of RSILP and reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in RSILP held by the other members of RSILP. As of March 31, 2026, the Company and non-controlling interests owned 44.43% and 55.57% of RSILP, respectively.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any significant changes to those policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026 are described below.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s reported total revenues, expenses, net income, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, non-controlling interests or cash flows. No reclassifications of prior period balances were material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Internally Developed Software

Software that is developed for internal use is accounted for pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software, as amended. Qualifying costs incurred to develop internal-use software are capitalized when (i) management authorizes and commits to funding the project, (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and (iii) the software will be used to perform the function as intended. These capitalized costs include compensation for employees who develop internal-use software and external costs related to development and implementation of internal-use software. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Internally developed software is amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life ofthree years. All other expenditures, including those incurred to maintain an intangible asset’s current level of performance, are expensed as incurred.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to modernize the accounting guidance for the costs to develop software for internal use. ASU 2025-06 amends the existing standard that refers to various stages of a software development project to align better with current software development methods, such as agile programming. Under the new standard, entities will commence capitalizing eligible costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function. The new standard also supersedes the guidance related to costs incurred to develop a website. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-06 on a prospective basis effective for fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires the disclosure of additional information related to certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. The ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and the Company’s definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The grant-date fair value of RSUs with service-based and performance-based conditions is determined based on the quoted market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, while RSUs with market-based conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period; for RSUs with performance-based conditions, share-based compensation expense is recognized only when it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved and is adjusted as necessary to reflect changes in that assessment.

The following table summarizes RSUs granted and their aggregate grant-date fair values during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (amounts in thousands, except for unit amounts):

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $21.58 and $12.07, respectively. The aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $9.3 million and $18.1 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $57.9 million. The outstanding RSUs had a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.29 years as of March 31, 2026.

Stock Options

The Company grantednil and 344,391 stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The estimated grant date fair value of stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Volatility rate65.00%
Risk-free interest rate4.10%
Expected term(1) (in years)6.0
Dividend yieldNone
Stock price at grant date$10.70
Exercise price$10.70

(1)Calculated using the simplified method (the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term of the option) due to the Company’s insufficient historical exercise information to provide a basis for an estimate.

Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was as follows:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value and aggregate fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $6.70 and $2.3 million, respectively. The aggregate grant date fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The outstanding stock options and exercisable stock options as of March 31, 2026 had an intrinsic value of $45.1 million and $39.5 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $1.0 million. No stock options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to stock options of $2.2 million. The outstanding options had a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 0.86 years as of March 31, 2026.

  1. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)20262025
Income tax expense$19,566$5,065

The Company recognized a federal, state and foreign income tax expense of $19.6 million and $5.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 42.7% and 30.5%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s year-to-date effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% was primarily due to non-taxable income / (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, valuation allowance recorded on foreign tax credits, income tax rate differences related to the Company’s foreign operations, and non-deductible expenses.

On a quarterly basis, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of its deferred tax asset and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. For purposes of forecasting taxable income, the Company relied on historical pre-tax earnings trends and incorporated assumptions about future performance that are expected to impact pre-tax results. The Company did not recognize all U.S. deferred tax assets because the Company determined that a portion of excess income tax basis in RSILP will only reverse upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a sale of the Company’s interest in RSILP, none of which are expected to occur in the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2026, the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets per the annualized effective tax rate computation is $98.6 million.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. Congress passed budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”). The OBBB contains several changes to corporate taxation including modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. The Company has evaluated OBBB and determined that it does not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Special Limited Partner entered into the TRA, which generally provides that it pay 85% of certain net tax benefits, if any, that the Company (including the Special Limited Partner) realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of an increase in tax basis and tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained RSILP Units (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) for Class A Common Stock (or cash at the Company’s option) pursuant to RSILP’s amended and restated limited partnership agreement and tax benefits related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA. These payments are the obligation of the Special Limited Partner and not of RSILP. The actual increase in the Special Limited Partner’s allocable share of RSILP’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of the Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange and the amount and timing of the recognition of RSI and its consolidated subsidiaries’ (including the Special Limited Partner’s) income. While many of the factors that will determine the amount of payments that the Special Limited Partner will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement are outside of the Company's control, the Company expects that the payments the Special Limited Partner will make under the TRA will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

Based primarily on thethree-year cumulative income analysis and anticipated future earnings, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize its deferred tax assets subject to the TRA. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a TRA liability of $133.4 million and $130.1 million (including $1.2 million classified as current liability for both periods), respectively, based on tax benefits realized in the current and prior tax year. The recognition of the TRA liability resulted in change in tax receivable agreement liability ofnil and $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the liability is primarily due to the issuance of Class A Common Stock upon RSILP Unit exchanges.

  1. Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of an entity that: (i) engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) has discrete financial information available; and (iii) is regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation.

The Company’s CODM is its chief executive officer. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment that engages in online gaming and retail sports betting business activities. The Company derives its revenues from its gaming offerings such as real-money online casino, online sports betting and retail sports betting (i.e., sports betting services provided at bricks-and-mortar locations), as well as social gaming, which involves free-to-play games using virtual credits that users can earn or purchase. The accounting policies for this segment are consistent with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets.
