Genius Sports Q2 2025 Results Show Strong Growth and Expansion
Genius Sports, a leading provider of sports technology, content, and broadcast services, has reported impressive financial results for Q2 2025. The company's revenue grew by 24% year-on-year to $118.7 million, with a record adjusted EBITDA of $34.2 million, marking a 64% increase from the same period in 2024 [1][4].
The growth can be attributed to several strategic partnerships, including new deals with Serie A and European Leagues. These partnerships aim to strengthen Genius Sports' BetVision and GeniusIQ offerings, providing betting technology, content, and broadcast services to major sports leagues [2][4].
The partnerships with Serie A and European Leagues involve expanded or extended agreements that integrate live data, video, and AI-driven analytics for sportsbooks, broadcasters, and sports teams. These deals are key drivers of Genius Sports' growth and competitive positioning in Europe [1][4].
In Q2 2025, Genius Sports announced a strategic alliance with iSpot, a TV analytics provider, and entered into a multi-year agreement with the European Leagues Association, covering over 8,000 matches across 46 competitions [1][6].
The partnerships have contributed to increased betting volume, pricing power on contract renewals, and expansion of value-added services, which are factors cited for the 30% revenue rise in the Betting Technology, Content & Services segment [1][2][5].
The Media Technology, Content & Services segment also saw a 3.6% rise to $18.6 million due to stronger demand for programmatic advertising [3]. Meanwhile, the Sports Technology & Services unit grew by 21.5%, generating $12.6 million in revenue [3].
Bryan Castellani, who brings financial and media expertise from previous leadership roles at ESPN, Disney, and Warner Music Group, has been named as Genius Sports' new Chief Financial Officer, effective October 1, 2025 [4].
Genius Sports also secured exclusive official data and streaming rights for Italy's Serie A through 2029, and implemented semi-automated officiating systems in Belgian football [1].
Despite the net loss of $53.9 million for Q2 2025, up from $21.8 million a year earlier, Genius Sports raised its full-year guidance to $645 million in revenue and $135 million in adjusted EBITDA for 2025 [1]. If realized, the company's EBITDA margin for 2025 would improve by over 400 basis points to reach 21% [1].
Year-to-date figures for 2025 show a 22% increase in revenue to $262.7 million and a nearly doubling of adjusted EBITDA to $53.9 million [1]. With these strong results, Genius Sports is well-positioned for continued growth and expansion in the European sports markets.
