Sportradar outlines growth strategy and financial outlook at Investor Day

Speakers will highlight the company’s competitive advantages and the key elements of its growth strategy.

Press release.- Sportradar today hosted the Investor Day where the company’s senior leaders presented its growth strategy and financial targets, including expectation to grow revenue at a 15 per cent CAGR through 2027, while expanding Adjusted EBITDA margin and Free cash flow conversion by 700 basis points.

Chief executive officer, Carsten Koerl, chief financial officer, Craig Felenstein, and other members of the Sportradar leadership team provided an in-depth look into the company’s priorities and growth opportunities. The event also featured a fireside chat with Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner, and Gary Bettman, NHL Commissioner, as well as presentations from Jason Robins, co-founder and CEO of DraftKings, and George Daskalakis, co-founder and CEO of Kaizen Gaming, owner of the Betano sportsbook brand.

Speakers highlighted Sportradar’s competitive advantages and the key elements of its growth strategy, which will enable it to continue driving significant value for partners, clients, and shareholders, including:

• At an inflection point for multi-year value creation. With industry-leading scale, unmatched competitive advantages, and major sports rights secured for the long-term, the Company is at an inflection point to drive sustainable revenue growth while significantly expanding margins and cash generation.

• Mission-critical leadership. The company has an unrivaled position at the center of the sports ecosystem, serving over 2,100 clients and partners worldwide. Its unmatched depth, breadth, and scale in content-rich data, diverse product portfolio, and expansive distribution network create high barriers to entry.

• Large and growing core sports betting opportunity. With a global addressable sports betting market expected to grow at a double-digit CAGR over the next four years, the Company is benefitting from strong market tailwinds and the convergence of the sports, betting and media industries.

• A track record of product innovation to drive take rate. The company is well-positioned to outpace industry growth and capture a growing share of in-play betting thanks to a market-leading product portfolio designed to deeply engage sports fans, combined with a commercial strategy focused on addressing clients’ evolving needs.

• Opportunities from adjacent markets. The company will continue to look at opportunities in adjacent markets, including leveraging its existing 360-degree marketing services capabilities in the adjacent online casino market, opening up a potential $2bn serviceable addressable market (SAM).

• Leverage technology and AI to drive efficiency and innovation. A robust tech stack and deep AI capabilities enable the company to improve efficiencies, accelerate innovation, and provide an opportunity to lower growth barriers for partners and clients in the sports ecosystem.

Sportradar expects to deliver exceptional financial performance over the next three years, translating to the following 2027 targets:

• Revenue of at least €1.7bn, representing a 15 per cent CAGR.

• Adjusted EBITDA1 of at least €455m, representing a 27 per cent CAGR.

• Adjusted EBITDA1 margin expansion of 700 basis points.

• Free cash flow1 of approximately €275m, increasing free cash flow conversion1 to at least 60 per cent by 2027.

Before the event, Carsten Koerl, Sportradar chief executive officer, said: “We look forward to sharing our vision and strategy for driving sustainable, long-term growth at our Investor Day.
