Net Operating Income of $7.9 million, Net Loss of $7.8 million and Adjusted Net Loss of $5.6 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $28.4 million, up 15% from last year driven by record Interactive Adjusted EBITDA, up 49% year-over-year
Secured five-year partnership with Jenningsbet to supply approximately 570 Vantage terminals
Successfully completed comprehensive debt refinancing, issuing £270 million senior secured notes and securing a new £17.8 million revolving credit facility
NEW YORK, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspired Entertainment, Inc. ("Inspired" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:INSE), a leading B2B provider of gaming content, technology, hardware and services, today reported financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.
"We are pleased to deliver another strong quarter, underscoring the continued strength across our diversified business model," said Lorne Weil, Executive Chairman of Inspired. "Interactive remains a key growth engine, with revenue increasing 45% and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 49% year-over-year, driven by sustained momentum in North America and the UK. Interactive Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 67%, an increase of approximately 200 basis points versus prior year, reflecting the scalability of our digital operations. Hybrid Dealer continues to gain traction as we deploy new products as well as new markets with customers such as BetMGM, Caesars, bet365 and Loto-Québec. We're also beginning to see some early adoption among regional operators that traditionally have lacked access to live dealer solutions. While this phase of the roll out is just getting underway, initial indications from these customers are encouraging. We remain excited about its long-term potential as a scalable, high-margin product.
"Gaming delivered a strong performance in the quarter, with segment Adjusted EBITDA increasing 35% year-over-year, reflecting both top-line growth and margin expansion. Performance was driven by revenue growth from the successful roll out of our Vantage cabinets with William Hill, which has now been completed and delivering high single-digit revenue growth. In Greece, new terminal deployments are gaining traction and expected to support continued growth. Additionally, operational initiatives implemented in the back half of last year are delivering sustained cost efficiencies, improving the segment's margin profile and positioning it for sustained momentum through the remainder of the year.
"Virtual Sports saw sequential growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter. Our focus is squarely on continuing this sequential growth through targeted initiatives as we move into the second half of the year. In Brazil, localized content is showing early promise, particularly our V-Play Football Brazil product launched with bet365, Betano and BetMGM. We've also expanded our partnership with William Hill to upgrade their Virtual Sports offering across 1,300 UK betting shops, integrating enhanced horse and greyhound racing content into their broadcast network and adding approximately 300 new daily events. With additional launches underway in Turkey and North America, we're optimistic about the direction of the segment and the impact of these targeted initiatives.
"Leisure performed in line with expectations, supported by strong results from the timing of UK public holidays, which shifted into the second quarter this year. On a year-to-date basis, revenue is up 5% through the first half of the year, driven by growth across existing sites, new site additions, and continued strength in the Bingo sector. Operational initiatives have further enhanced performance, with year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA up 19% compared to same period last year.
"Across the business, we continue to execute with discipline and focus," Weil concluded. "Our Interactive segment is scaling efficiently, Gaming is delivering profitable growth, Virtual Sports is showing early signs of renewed momentum, and Leisure is performing steadily. With a more flexible capital structure in place and a clear set of strategic priorities, we believe we are well-positioned to build on this progress and drive long-term value for our shareholders."

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