Sportradar closed 2025 with record financial results and a strengthened strategic outlook, highlighting significant growth across its core business segments and announcing an expanded share repurchase program.

According to the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year financial report, total revenue reached a record €1.29 billion, representing a 17% year-over-year increase. The growth was driven by strong performance in both the Betting Technology & Solutions division and the Sports Content, Technology & Services segment.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 33% to €297 million, also marking a record for the company, while margins improved by nearly 300 basis points to reach 23%. The company also generated record free cash flow of €167 million, reflecting the strong conversion of operational performance into financial strength.

Beyond financial results, Sportradar continued to expand its global sports ecosystem. The acquisition of IMG ARENA, completed in November, significantly strengthened the company’s sports rights portfolio. The deal added partnerships with more than 70 rights holders and increased Sportradar’s annual event coverage to over one million matches worldwide.

The company also deepened several strategic partnerships across the sports, media, and betting industries. A key highlight was an eight-year extension with Major League Baseball that designates Sportradar as the exclusive global distributor of ultra-low-latency official MLB data. Additional agreements include a landmark partnership with DAZN covering more than 30 sports, as well as new broadcast collaborations with NBC Sports and the streaming platform Peacock.

Looking ahead, the company expects strong momentum to continue into 2026. Sportradar forecasts constant-currency revenue growth of between 23% and 25% for the full year, alongside adjusted EBITDA growth of 34% to 37%, supported by expanding margins and increasing free cash flow.

Reflecting confidence in its financial position and long-term strategy, the company’s board approved a significant expansion of its share repurchase authorization—from $300 million to $1 billion. Sportradar indicated it plans to remain opportunistic in repurchasing shares while market valuations remain below what it considers the company’s underlying value.

“With a differentiated portfolio of sports content, products, and technology serving a global client network, the company believes it is well positioned to continue generating long-term value for partners, clients, and shareholders,” said Sportradar´s CFO Craig Felenstein.
