Sportradar has reported a €649,000 (£557,099/$704,906) loss for Q1, despite revenue and EBITDA both increasing significantly year-on-year.
Sportradar posted Q1 revenues of €265.9m, up 28.1% on the €207.6m generated in the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA reached €47.2m, a 28.6% increase on the €36.7m accumulated in Q1 2023. Sportradar attributed the adjusted EBITDA increase to revenue growth and enhanced operating efficiency, both of which offset increasing sports rights’ costs.
Sportradar pointed to “broad-based strength” across its product portfolio as the reasons for its revenue growth. Revenues from its betting technology and solutions sector shot up by 34.6% to €218.8m, accounting for 82.3% of Sportradar’s total revenue. Its sports content, technology and solutions segment accounted for the other 17.7%, also seeing its revenue increase 4.7% to €47.1m.
The company’s total liquidity of €494.6m was also 7.6% higher than the €459.6m it had at the end of Q1 2023.
