Sportradar posts record 2025 revenue profits and expands major buyback program
Sportradar wrapped up 2025 with its strongest financial results to date, reporting record Q4 revenue, higher profits and a sharp jump in operating cash as demand for sports data, betting technology and integrity services continued to expand worldwide.
The Switzerland-based sports technology company said full-year revenue reached €1.29 billion ($1.5 billion), rising 17% compared with the previous year. Profit for the period came in at €100 million ($116 million), while adjusted EBITDA climbed 33% to €297 million ($346 million). Profitability also improved, with margins reaching 23%.
Cash generation was another key area. The company reported €403 million ($469 million) in net cash from operating activities and record free cash flow of €167 million ($194 million).
Alongside the results, Sportradar announced a major expansion of its stock repurchase plan. The company increased the authorization from $300 million to $1 billion. During 2025 alone, Sportradar bought back $91 million worth of shares, including $25 million during the final quarter.
Chief executive Carsten Koerl said the performance reflected sustained demand for the company’s technology and services across the global sports ecosystem.
“Sportradar concluded 2025 with another quarter of strong performance, demonstrating significant momentum across our business as we continued to drive innovation and customer adoption. For the full year, we delivered on all fronts, achieving record revenue, substantial margin expansion, and increased free cash flow generation,” Koerl said. “These results underscore the durability of our growth strategy and our mission-critical role within the global sports ecosystem.”

The final quarter of the year continued the same trajectory. Revenue for the three months ending December 31 rose 20% year over year to €369 million ($429 million). Adjusted EBITDA reached €89 million ($104 million), a 48% increase from the same period in 2024, pushing quarterly margins to 24.2%.
Net cash from operating activities for the quarter totaled €88 million ($102 million), while free cash flow came in at €18 million ($21 million).
Much of the annual growth came from Sportradar’s betting technology and solutions segment, which generated €1.047 billion ($1.2 billion) in revenue for the year, up 15%. Demand for betting and gaming content remained strong, supported by new clients and the addition of assets from IMG Arena.
Sportradar agreed to acquire IMG Arena’s sports betting rights portfolio earlier in the year, giving the company access to additional premium sports data and streaming rights. The deal strengthens Sportradar’s position in global sports betting markets as operators compete to offer deeper live data and content.
“The acquisition of IMG further strengthens our competitive position, and we are rapidly integrating and monetizing this premium content across our global customer base,” he said.
Other areas of the business also grew quickly. Sports content, technology and services revenue rose 22% to €242.9 million ($283 million), while managed betting services generated €229.8 million ($267 million), up 15% thanks to stronger trading activity and increased betting volumes.
Geographically, the United States remained a key growth engine. U.S. revenue climbed 23% to €323.8 million ($377 million), representing roughly a quarter of total company revenue. Revenue from the rest of the world rose 15% to €966.2 million ($1.1 billion).
Beyond financial growth, Sportradar continued expanding its regulatory and integrity partnerships. The company recently worked with the Brazilian Ministry of Sports to strengthen monitoring of betting integrity and has also supported new licensed betting operators entering regulated markets such as the United Arab Emirates.
