NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(In millions, unless specified otherwise)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of business and organization
Playtika Holding Corp. (“Playtika”) and its subsidiaries (together with Playtika, the “Company”) is one of the world’s leading developers of mobile games creating fun, innovative experiences that entertain and engage its users. It has built best-in-class live game operations services and a proprietary technology platform to support its portfolio of games which enable it to drive strong user engagement and monetization. The Company’s games are free-to-play, and the Company seeks to provide novel, curated in-game content and offers to its users at optimal points in their game journeys to drive user engagement and monetization.
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include Playtika and all subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby (i) affiliates that are more than 50% owned are consolidated; (ii) investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are generally accounted for using the equity method where the Company has determined that it has significant influence over the entities; and (iii) investments in affiliates of 20% or less are generally accounted for at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
The significant accounting policies referenced in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2024 have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been recorded within the accompanying financial statements, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SuperPlay Ltd.
On November 20, 2024, the Company and Playtika Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of SuperPlay Ltd. (“SuperPlay”) (the “SuperPlay Acquisition”) for an aggregate purchase price equal to (i) $700.0 million, payable at the closing of the Transaction, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, plus (ii) earnout payments of up to $1.250 billion, the amounts of which will be based on certain gross revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA metrics of SuperPlay during the calendar years 2025, 2026 and 2027, in each case, payable following the end of the applicable measurement period. In addition, the Company granted retention awards totaling up to approximately $50 million to SuperPlay’s employees in accordance with the Transaction terms, which is expected to vest and be expensed over up tofour years.

Management has accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. As such, management has recorded the identified assets and liabilities at their respective fair value. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The purchase consideration also included a liability classified contingent consideration, measured at fair value through earnings. The Company finalized the purchase accounting valuation in the second quarter of 2025 and there were no changes to the preliminary valuation.
In May 2025, the Share Purchase Agreement was amended to adjust certain covenants. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $30.0 million of expense and $14.6 million of income, respectively, to adjust contingent consideration associated with the SuperPlay Acquisition to its estimated fair value of $340.0 million as of September 30, 2025, which is comprised of $210.0 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $130.0 million in long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Concentration of credit risk and significant customers
Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable and derivative contracts. The Company’s investment policy imposes certain maturity limits on the Company’s portfolio and restricts the permitted investments to the purchase of bank deposits and highly rated fixed income securities.
Apple and Google are significant distribution and payment platforms for the Company's games. A significant portion of the Company’s revenues has been generated from players who accessed the Company's games through these platforms. Therefore, the Company's accounts receivable are derived mainly from sales through thesetwo platforms.
The following table summarizes the major accounts receivable of the Company as a percentage of the total accounts receivable as of the dates indicated:
| September 30,2025 | December 31,2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| % | ||
| Apple | 55% | 60% |
| 28% | 29% | |
Accounts receivable are recorded at their transaction amounts and do not bear interest. The Company bases its allowance for credit losses on management's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable based on historical collection experience and current and expected future economic and market conditions.
Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Cash equivalents include investments in term deposits, commercial papers and money market funds that can be redeemed immediately at the current net asset value.
Investments with maturities of more than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase are included in short-term investments. Such short-term investments include investments in commercial papers.
The Company accounts for investments in debt securities in accordance with ASC No. 320, "Investments - Debt Securities". The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and recognized when realized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
The Company periodically evaluates its available-for-sale debt securities for impairment in accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. If the amortized cost of an individual security exceeds its fair value, the Company considers its intent to sell the security or whether it is more
-8- likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized basis. If either of these criteria are met, the Company writes down the security to its fair value and records the impairment charge in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. If neither of these criteria are met, the Company assesses whether credit loss exists. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any additional impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, credit losses were immaterial.
Employee related benefits
Appreciation and retention plan
In August 2019, the Company adopted the Playtika Holding Corp. Retention Plan (the “2021-2024 Retention Plan”) in order to retain key employees and reward them for contributing to the success of the Company.
The Company recognized compensation expenses in respect of retention unit and appreciation unit awards under its appreciation and retention plans of $23.9 million and $70.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The 2021-2024 Retention Plan concluded in 2024 and there will be no additional compensation expenses related to the associated retention unit and appreciation unit awards.
Derivative instruments
The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuating interest rates associated with the Company’s variable rate debt, and to effectively increase the portion of debt upon which the Company pays a fixed interest rate. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), involving the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement, without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. These hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the Company’s future expected cash flows due to the fluctuation of the Company’s variable rate debt.
The Company monitors the effectiveness of its hedges on a quarterly basis, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The Company performed a regression analysis at inception of the hedging relationship and at period end in which it compared the change in the fair value of the swap transaction and the change in fair value of a hypothetical interest rate swap having terms that identically match the terms of the debt's interest rate payments based on historical swap rates. Based upon this analysis, the Company concluded that the hedging instruments are expected to be highly effective at offsetting changes in the hedged transactions attributable to the risk being hedged. For each future reporting period, the Company will continue performing retrospective and prospective assessments of hedge effectiveness in a single regression analysis by updating the regression analysis that was prepared at the inception of the hedging relationship.
The Company uses foreign currency derivative contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuating exchange rates between the United States dollar (as the Company’s functional currency) and certain expense lines denominated in Euros (“EUR”), Israeli Shekels (“ILS”), Polish Zloty (“PLN”) and Romanian Leu (“RON”). The Company’s derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. The Company monitors the effectiveness of its hedges on a quarterly basis, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and expects these hedges to remain highly effective at offsetting fluctuations in exchange rates through their respective maturity dates. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments, for additional discussion.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is recognized as an asset or liability at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income until the future underlying transactions occur. The fair value approximates the amount the Company would pay or receive if these
-9- contracts were settled at the respective valuation dates. The inputs used to measure the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency derivative contracts are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). See Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for additional discussion.
Cash flows from derivatives, which are designated as accounting hedges, are presented consistently with the cash flow classification of the related hedged items.
Investment in unconsolidated entities
The Company holds certain equity investments in various unconsolidated entities that, based upon the structure of the investment, are not within the scope of equity method investment accounting that would lead to the consolidation conclusions above. Instead, these investments fall within the scope of ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. As permitted within that guidance, the Company has elected to account for these investments at cost less impairment, adjusted for changes in fair value from observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer as of the respective transaction dates. Due to poor performance of certain of these investments leading to significant uncertainty regarding their future viability, the Company recorded impairments of $29.3 million and $36.3 million related to one of its investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. No change to the carrying amounts were recorded in the nine month period ended September 30, 2025.
Stock repurchase program
On May 9, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $150 million of the Company’s common stock. Repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock are retired and accounted for using the constructive retirement method. For shares repurchased in excess of par, purchase price in excess of par value is recorded in additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.
Net income per share attributable to common stockholders
For all periods presented herein, basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share reflects the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding by dividing net income by the weighted-average of all common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding. Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) are considered potentially dilutive as of the first day of the reporting period in which the underlying performance metric is achieved. In the event of a loss, diluted shares are not considered because of their anti-dilutive effect. The Company uses the treasury stock method on a grant-by-grant basis as the method for determining the dilutive effect of options, Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and PSUs. Under this method, it is assumed that the hypothetical proceeds received upon settlement are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted by the Company
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). ASU 2025-06 requires public companies to apply property, plant, and equipment-style disclosure requirements to internal-use software costs, eliminate stage-based capitalization models, and begin capitalizing software development costs once management commits to funding a project and completion is probable under the new “probable-to-complete” threshold. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-06.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Interest rate swap agreements
In March 2021, the Company entered intotwo interest rate swap agreements, each with a notional value of $250 million. Each of these swap agreements is with a different financial institution as the counterparty to reduce the Company’s counterparty risk. The initial terms of each swap required the Company to pay a fixed interest rate of 0.9275% in exchange for receiving one-month LIBOR. In June 2023 thesetwo interest rate swap agreements were amended so that effective July 31, 2023, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of 0.85% in exchange for receiving one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The amendment did not impact the hedge effectiveness.
The interest rate swap agreements settle monthly commencing in April 2021 through their termination dates on April 30, 2026. The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis.
In January 2023, the Company entered intotwo additional interest rate swap agreements, each with a notional value of $250 million. Each of these swap agreements is with a different financial institution, and each swap requires the Company to pay a fixed interest rate of 3.435% in exchange for receiving one-month LIBOR forsix months and one-month Term SOFR afterwards. The interest rate swap agreements settle monthly commencing in February 2023 through their termination dates on February 28, 2028. The estimated fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis.
The aggregate fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements was a net asset of $7.2 million as of September 30, 2025, and was recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets based upon the timing of the underlying expected cash flows in amounts detailed in Note 8, Fair Value Measurements.
Foreign currency hedge agreements
At September 30, 2025, the Company had outstanding derivative contracts to purchase certain foreign currencies, including EUR, ILS, RON, and PLN at future dates. The amount of future salary expenses the Company had hedged was approximately $187.5 million, and all contracts are expected to mature during the upcoming 12 months. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts was a net asset of $13.2 million as of September 30, 2025 and was recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in amounts detailed in Note 8, Fair Value Measurements.
The following table summarizes the volume of derivative instrument activity (in millions):

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company accounts for fair value in accordance with ASC 820. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-16-
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table summarizes the fair value measurement of the Company’s long-term debt (in millions):
| September 30, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Face Value | Fair Value | Fair Value Hierarchy | |
| Term Loan | $1,814.5 | $1,798.6 | Level 2 |
| Senior Notes | 600.0 | 548.3 | Level 2 |
| Total debt | $2,414.5 | $2,346.9 | |
| December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Face Value | Fair Value | Fair Value Hierarchy | |
| Term Loan | $1,828.8 | $1,831.1 | Level 2 |
| Senior Notes | 600.0 | 541.5 | Level 2 |
| Total debt | $2,428.8 | $2,372.6 | |
The estimated fair value of the Company’s term loan is based upon the prices at which the Company’s debt traded in the days immediately preceding the balance sheet date. As the trading volume of the Company’s debt is low relative to the overall debt balance, the Company does not believe that the associated transactions represent an active market, and therefore this indication of value represents a level 2 fair value input.
-17-
The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):
| Fair Value at | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair Value Hierarchy | September 30,2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
| Cash equivalents | |||
| Money market funds | Level 1 | $256.8 | $331.4 |
| Term deposits | Level 1 | 84.1 | 93.1 |
| Commercial papers | Level 2 | 49.7 | 10.0 |
| Short-term investments | |||
| Commercial papers | Level 2 | $52.9 | $— |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | |||
| Derivative instruments - interest rate swaps | Level 2 | 9.5 | 19.4 |

| Derivative instruments - foreign currency derivative contracts | Level 2 | $— | $3.3 |
| Other long-term liabilities, including employee related benefits | |||
| Derivative instruments - interest rate swaps | Level 2 | $2.1 | $— |
The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payables, restricted cash, and the majority of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short time to expected payment or receipt of cash.
The Company classifies its short term investments, derivative financial instruments and some cash equivalents within Level 2 because they are valued using inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded.
The change in fair value of contingent consideration payable was valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), was included in the general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consisted of the following (in millions):
| Balance as of January 1, 2025 | $379.6 |
|---|---|
| Fair value adjustments based upon post-acquisition performance and passage of time | 4.7 |
| Balance as of September 30, 2025 (1) | $384.3 |
(1)Amount comprised of $340.0 million and $44.3 million for SuperPlay and InnPlay acquisitions, respectively.
The Company estimated the fair value of its SuperPlay contingent consideration liability using a Monte Carlo simulation to model components of cash flow analyses. The significant assumptions used in the SuperPlay model include revenue volatility of 15% and a 20-year-risk free rate of 4.7%. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements as defined in ASC 820. The extent to which the actual results differ from assumptions made within the simulation and analyses, along with adjustments resulting from the passage of time, will result
-18- in changes in these liabilities in future periods. Based on certain gross revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA metrics of SuperPlay during the calendar year 2025, earnout payments could exceed currently estimated amounts.
The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option under ASC 825 for any financial assets or liabilities.
NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On November 23, 2021, the Company, its directors and certain of its officers were named in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Bar-Asher v. Playtika Holding Corp. et al.). The complaint is allegedly brought on behalf of a class of purchasers of the Company’s securities between January 15, 2021 and November 2, 2021, and alleges violations of federal securities laws arising out of alleged misstatements or omissions by the defendants during the alleged class period. On March 10, 2022, the court appointed LBMotion Ltd as lead plaintiff, and the plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May 6, 2022. The amended complaint alleges violations of Section 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and seeks, among other things, damages and attorneys’ fees and costs on behalf of the putative class. The amended complaint also added the companies that served as underwriters for the Company’s IPO as defendants in the lawsuit. On September 15, 2022, in accordance with local rules of the Court, the Company and other defendants in the case filed a letter notifying the Court of defendants’ service upon plaintiffs of, among other things, a notice of motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ amended complaint and a memorandum of law in support of the defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ amended complaint. On November 30, 2022, the Company filed with the Court a motion to dismiss. The Company’s motion to dismiss was granted with prejudice on March 18, 2024. On April 15, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. On October 1, 2025, the Second Circuit Court issued a decision affirming the dismissal of the case. The Company has defended this case vigorously and will continue to do so if there are any additional filings by the plaintiffs.
On November 4, 2022, the Company and certain of its directors were named in a derivative action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Bushansky v. Antokol., et al.). The complaint was brought on behalf of the Company by a putative stockholder alleging that the named directors were negligent in their oversight of the preparation of the Company’s Proxy Statement in alleged violation of federal securities laws and that those directors breached their fiduciary duties upon related allegations. The complaint also asserts claims for contribution and indemnification, and aiding and abetting. The complaint seeks, among other things, damages, disgorgement and restitution by the director defendants, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Based upon an agreement of plaintiff, the Company, and the other defendants, on February 13, 2023, the Court stayed this action until the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the class action case of Bar-Asher v. Playtika Holding Corp. When the motion to dismiss in the class action case of Bar-Asher v. Playtika Holding Corp. was granted as discussed above, this action was administratively closed. The Company does not expect this action to move forward, if at all, until after the exhaustion of all possible review of the Second Circuit’s decision affirming the dismissal of the class action case of Bar-Asher v. Playtika Holding Corp. At this stage, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company intends to vigorously defend this case.
On April 10, 2023, Playtika Holding UK II Limited, the Company’s controlling shareholder, and certain officers of the Company were sued (Kormos v Playtika Holding UK II Limited, et al.) in the Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuit alleges generally that the defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company and its stockholders with respect to the controlling shareholder’s indication of an interest in selling some or all of its shares, and the resulting strategic review process and self-tender offer. On August 18, 2023, defendants filed with the Court motions to dismiss the claims. A hearing on the motions to dismiss was held on November 21, 2023. On January 18, 2024, the court denied Playtika Holding UK II Limited’s motion to dismiss in an oral ruling. The court issued a written opinion on May 3, 2024 granting the motion to dismiss of the claims against the Company’s officers. The plaintiffs and the remaining defendant agreed to a settlement agreement and submitted the settlement agreement to the Court for approval on October 8, 2025. A settlement hearing has been scheduled for January 21, 2026. The terms of the settlement do not involve any material financial obligation of the Company and are not expected to have any material financial impact to the Company’s financial statements as a whole.
On June 7, 2024, the Company received a demand letter from counsel for Scott G. Kormos, one of the plaintiffs in the Kormos v Playtika Holding UK II Limited, et al. matter described above, pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), seeking disclosure of certain of the Company’s books and records, particularly relating to the share repurchase program the Company announced in May 2024. The Company has responded to the demand, stating its
-19- belief that the demand letter fails to fully comply with the requirements of Section 220 of the DGCL. However, in the interest of resolution and while preserving all rights, the Company made a small production of documents in response to the demand.
On December 12, 2024, the Company received a demand letter from counsel for Scott G. Kormos, one of the plaintiffs in the Kormos v Playtika Holding UK II Limited, et al. matter described above, pursuant to Section 220 of the DGCL, seeking disclosure of certain of the Company’s books and records, particularly relating to the pledge of the Company’s common stock by Playtika Holding UK II Limited. The Company has responded to the demand, stating its belief that the demand letter fails to fully comply with the requirements of Section 220 of the DGCL. However, in the interest of resolution and while preserving all rights, the Company made a small production of documents in response to the demand.
On November 13, 2023, plaintiff Gina v. Burt filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Playtika Ltd., in the Circuit Court of Coffee County, Tennessee, alleging that the Company’s social casino-themed games are unlawful gambling under Tennessee law. The lawsuit seeks to recover all amounts paid by Tennessee residents to the Company in connection with its games during the period beginningone year before the filing of the lawsuit until the case is resolved but excluding any residents who spent $75,000 or more during such time period. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on August 28, 2025. The Company removed the case to federal court on September 29, 2025. As the case is in preliminary stages, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.
On March 8, 2023, plaintiff Gayla Hamilton Mills filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Playtika Ltd., in the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama, alleging that the Company’s casino-themed social games are unlawful gambling under Alabama law. The lawsuit seeks to recover all amounts paid by Alabama residents to the Company in connection with its games during the period beginningone year before the filing of the lawsuit until the case is resolved. After the Company removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, plaintiff dismissed the complaint and filed a very similar new complaint in the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama on August 25, 2023. The new complaint asserted the same cause of action and bases for relief, but limited the requested recovery to the amounts paid to the Company in connection with its games only by those Alabama residents who spent less than $75,000 during theone year before the filing of the lawsuit until the case is resolved. The court ordered arbitration and stayed the case on August 20, 2025. As the case is in preliminary stages, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.
On August 22, 2024, plaintiff Dianne Fuqua filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Playtika Ltd., in the District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, alleging that the Company’s casino-themed social games are unlawful gambling under Kentucky law. The lawsuit seeks to recover three times the amount paid by Kentucky residents to the Company from its games during the period from August 2019 through June 2023 plus interest, costs and any other relief plaintiff is entitled to. The Company filed a motion to compel arbitration on July 11, 2025. Plaintiff filed an opposition to the renewed motion on July 25, 2025 and the Company filed its reply on August 8, 2025. As the case is in preliminary stages, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.
On April 24, 2025, plaintiff Debbie Duncan filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington against Playtika Ltd. The suit is purportedly brought on behalf of both Washington-specific and nationwide classes of persons who purchased virtual coins in the Slotomania game during the relevant limitations period. The complaint alleges that Slotomania violates Washington law and that Playtika Ltd. has engaged in unlawful and deceptive practices more generally with respect to Slotomania. The lawsuit was dismissed by the plaintiff on September 11, 2025.
On June 6, 2025, plaintiff Stuart Mills filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Playtika Ltd., on behalf of all Alabama-based players of the Company’s games in the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama. The suit, like the suit brought by Gayla Hamilton Mills, alleges that the Company’s casino-themed social games are unlawful gambling under Alabama law. The lawsuit seeks to recover all amounts paid by Alabama residents to the Company in connection with its games during the period beginning one year before the filing of the lawsuit until the case is resolved. The suit was filed by the same counsel who represent Gayla Hamilton Mills. The Company removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama on July 11, 2025. Plaintiff’s motion to remand to state court was filed on August 11, 2025. The Company’s opposition to motion to remand was filed on September 12, 2025 and the plaintiff’s reply was filed
-20- on October 3, 2025. As the case is in preliminary stages, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
On October 27, 2025, plaintiff Andrew Wright filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Playtika Ltd., in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, alleging that the Company’s social casino-themed games are unlawful gambling under Utah law. The lawsuit seeks to recover twice the amount of economic losses suffered by Utah residents to the Company in connection with its social casino-themed games plus interest and attorneys’ fees. As the case is in preliminary stages, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.
On October 29, 2025, plaintiff William Barbarino filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Playtika Ltd., in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that the Company’s social casino-themed games are unlawful gambling under federal and New Jersey law. The lawsuit seeks to recover up to three times the amount of economic losses suffered by New Jersey residents to the Company in connection with its social casino-themed games plus interest, attorneys’ fees and other relief the plaintiff and the putative class may be entitled to. As the case is in preliminary stages, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.
On June 24, 2025, we received a letter from the Attorney General of the State of Washington alleging that certain of our games violate state gambling and consumer protection laws, and requesting that we pay certain monetary penalties and prevent those games from being available to play in the state in the future. No litigation has been filed in respect of these allegations. While we disagree with the Attorney General’s allegations, and we intend to vigorously defend the matter, at this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of losses we may incur from this matter.
On February 27, 2023, the company received a deficit notice from the Ben Gurion Airport Customs House concerning the purchase of a private aircraft. The deficit notice claims that the company's acquisition of the aircraft is an import into Israel, and, as a result, it was obliged to pay purchase tax and VAT for the acquisition. The company disputes that any tax or VAT is owed. On July 26, 2023, the Customs House's definitive response was received, with the deficit notice still intact. The current claimed amount of the deficit notice is approximately $3.6 million. The Company paid the deficit notice under protest and filed a claim with the district court on December 12, 2023. The Customs House submitted its statement of defense on April 17, 2024 and the Company submitted its response to the statement of defense on June 16, 2024. The parties have agreed to a settlement which was approved by the court on October 29, 2025. The terms of the settlement do not involve any material financial obligation of the Company and are not expected to have any material financial impact to the Company’s financial statements as a whole.
On June 1, 2024, the Company received pre-arbitration notices from a law firm purporting to represent 5,264 claimants who have played the Company’s games and intend to file arbitration demands alleging that the Company’s games are unlawful or that they otherwise have suffered harm for which recovery is available. On July 26, 2024, the law firm filed arbitration demands on behalf of 4,549 claimants. On September 13, 2024, the arbitral body requested that the Company waive certain dispute resolution provisions in the version of the terms of service invoked by claimants as a condition to its administering the arbitration. The Company declined to waive such provisions and, as a result, the arbitration was closed on October 3, 2024. On September 16, 2024, the Company received pre-arbitration notices from the same law firm purporting to represent an additional 2,560 claimants alleging the same claims as the other claimants. As of the date hereof, the Company lacks adequate information to assess the nature or validity of these claims. As such, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, these claims may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company intends to defend these claims vigorously.
On October 17, 2024, the Company received pre-arbitration notices from a different law firm purporting to represent 798 claimants who have played the Company’s games and intend to file arbitration demands alleging that the Company’s games are unlawful and that the claimants made purchases in the Company’s games which were the result of unfair and deceptive practices that violate consumer protection laws. On January 31, 2025, the affiliated law firms filed arbitration demands on behalf of approximately 1,500 claimants. Due to the dispute resolution provisions in the version of the Company’s terms of service invoked by claimants, the arbitral body declined to arbitrate the claims and the arbitration was closed on March 10, 2025. On March 23, 2025, the Company received pre-arbitration notices from the same law firm purporting to represent
-21- another 902 claimants. On April 15, 2025, the Company received notice that pre-arbitration notices for 194 claimants had been filed in error and were being withdrawn. On April 24, 2025, one of the affiliated law firms filed the putative class action on behalf of plaintiff Debbie Duncan described above which was dismissed by the plaintiff on September 11, 2025. As these claims are in preliminary stages, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, they may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company intends to defend these claims vigorously.
On July 8, 2025, the Company received pre-arbitration notices from another law firm purporting to represent 3,860 claimants who have played the Company’s games and intend to file arbitration demands alleging that the Company’s social casino games violate state laws against gambling and that the games use false, deceptive and misleading practices. The notice demands the payment of the greater of $5,000 or the actual amount of in-game losses for the claimants, plus punitive and other damages and attorneys’ fees as well as the cessation of the alleged unlawful conduct. On August 5, 2025, we were notified that the law firm was continuing to solicit claimants and that they now represented 4,688 claimants. On November 4, 2025, the law firm filed arbitration demands on behalf of 1,642 claimants. As of the date hereof, the Company lacks adequate information to assess the nature or validity of these claims. As such, the Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, these claims may have on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company intends to defend these claims vigorously.

Contract balances
Payments from players for virtual items are collected by platform providers or payment processors and remitted to the Company (net of the platform or clearing fees) generally within 30 days after the player transaction. The Company’s right to receive the payments collected by the platform providers or payment processors is recorded as an accounts receivable as the right to receive payment is unconditional. Deferred revenues, which represent a contract liability, represent mostly unrecognized fees billed for virtual items which have not yet been consumed at the balance sheet date. Platform fees paid to platform providers or payment processors and associated with deferred revenues represent a contract asset.

The effective tax rates were determined using a worldwide estimated annual effective tax rate and took discrete items into consideration. The difference between the effective tax rate and the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to the inclusion of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, and state income taxes, partially offset by favorable impacts of tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not standard and the Israel Preferred Technology Enterprise regime. The difference between the effective tax rate and the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not standard, the inclusion of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, and non-deductible stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a non-recurring favorable impact of reversal of accruals related to undistributed earnings.

The Company uses the treasury stock method on a grant-by-grant basis as the method for determining the dilutive effect of options, RSUs and PSUs. Under this method, it is assumed that the hypothetical proceeds received upon settlement are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The following outstanding employee equity awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (in millions):
| Three months endedSeptember 30, | Nine months endedSeptember 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
