Super Group Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter of 2025

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Super Group (SGHC) Limited (NYSE: SGHC) ('SGHC', the "Company" or 'Super Group'), the parent company of Betway, a leading online sports betting and gaming business, and Spin, the multi-brand online casino, today announced its second quarter 2025 unaudited consolidated financial results. Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer of Super Group, commented: 'We had a Super first half of 2025, driven by a record-breaking second quarter. The quarter's success was fueled by strong execution across our key markets, a full calendar of global sporting events, increased deposits, high customer retention, and margin expansion. While our decision to exit the U.S. was difficult, we believe that this step demonstrates our commitment to capital efficiency and long-term profitability. With continued focus on scaling our technology globally, Super Group should be even better positioned for sustained, profitable growth.' Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer of Super Group, stated: 'Q2 marked the strongest quarterly financial performance in Super Group's history, with revenue up 30% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA up 78% year-over-year to $157 million, delivering a healthy 27% margin. These results underscore our scalable, cost-efficient operating model and controlled marketing spend. We ended the quarter with $393 million in unrestricted cash and zero debt, and returned $20 million to shareholders, bringing our 12-month capital returns to $166 million. Driven by our continued focus on core markets, we are raising our full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance and remain confident in delivering long-term value to our shareholders.' Financial Highlights: Revenue increased by 30% to $579.4 million for the second quarter of 2025 from $446.5 million in the same period of the prior year, driven by growth from the Africa, Europe and North America markets partially offset by declines from the LATAM, Middle East and Asia-Pacific markets. Profit before tax was $38.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 and includes a non-cash charge of $63.9 million related to the impairment of Digital Gaming Corporation Limited ("DGC")' iGaming related assets and $22.6 million relating to onerous contracts. By comparison, profit before tax for the second quarter of 2024 was $22.1 million and included a non-cash charge of $39.6 million related to the impairment of DGC's sportsbook assets. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased by 78% to $156.7 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $88.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. Monthly Active Customers increased by 21% to 5.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 4.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Balance Sheet: Total Assets: $1.1 billion; Total Liabilities: $454.4 million; Total Equity: $662.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents was $393.0 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to $388.0 million at December 31, 2024. Dividends of $20.2 million was paid during the quarter, bringing the 12-month capital returns to $166 million. Guidance 2025 Super Group is raising its full-year Group Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $470-$480 million. Ex-U.S. Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be between $500-$510 million, up from greater than $480 million compared to prior guidance. U.S. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be a loss of $30 million, excluding one-off cost of U.S. exit.

Accordingly, the comparative table has been re-presented retrospectively as outlined under the change in presentation currency note. Non-GAAP Financial Information This press release includes non-GAAP financial information not presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex-US, Adjusted EBITDA US are non-GAAP company-specific performance measures that Super Group ("the Group") uses to supplement the Company's results presented in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA is defined as profit before depreciation, amortization, finance income, finance expense and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for RSU expense, change in fair value of options, unrealized foreign exchange, gain on disposal of business and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA ex-US is Adjusted EBITDA relating to the rest of the Group, excluding Digital Gaming Corporation ('DGC'). Adjusted EBITDA US is Adjusted EBITDA relating to DGC. Super Group believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company's operating performance as they provide additional perspective on the financial performance of our core business, are similar to measures reported by the Company's public competitors and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Super Group's financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures together with IFRS results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with IFRS, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, IFRS results. Reconciliation tables of the most comparable IFRS financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, and supplemental materials are included below. Super Group urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly named non-GAAP measures differently than we do, which limits their usefulness in comparing our financial results with theirs. for the Three Months Ended June 30: Three Months Ended June 30 Six Months Ended June 30 2025 $m 2024 * $m 2025 $m 2024 * $m Profit before taxation 39 22 127 75 Finance income (3 ) (3 ) (5 ) (6 ) Finance expense 2 1 4 3 Depreciation and amortization expense 19 23 37 45 EBITDA 57 43 163 117 Change in fair value of options — — — 14 RSU expense 3 3 9 7 Unrealized foreign exchange 4 2 2 5 Impairment of assets 66 40 66 40 US iGaming closure 23 — 23 — Market closure — — — — Gain on disposal of business — — — (44 ) Other adjustments 1 4 — 5 — Adjusted EBITDA 157 88 268 139 Adjusted EBITDA, ex-US 162 106 283 181 Adjusted EBITDA, US (5 ) (18 ) (15 ) (42 ) Expand 1 Other adjustments in 2025 mainly relates to Sportsbook acquisition related costs. * The Group has adopted a change in presentation currency from Euros to USD at January 1, 2025.

Is Super Group (SGHC) (SGHC) a Buy as Wall Street Analysts Look Optimistic?

When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important? Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Super Group (SGHC) Limited (SGHC) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage. Super Group (SGHC) currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.17, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by six brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.17 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy. Of the six recommendations that derive the current ABR, five are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 83.3% and 16.7% of all recommendations. Check price target & stock forecast for Super Group (SGHC) here>>> While the ABR calls for buying Super Group (SGHC), it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential. Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations for every "Strong Sell" recommendation. In other words, their interests aren't always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock's price movement. Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision. Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether. Broker recommendations are the sole basis for calculating the ABR, which is typically displayed in decimals (such as 1.28). The Zacks Rank, on the other hand, is a quantitative model designed to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5. Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide. On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns. There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices. In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Super Group (SGHC), the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.51. Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Super Group (SGHC). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Super Group (SGHC).
