Revenue

Flutter delivered robust top-line growth in the second quarter, with total revenue rising to $4.19 billion, a 16.0% increase compared to $3.61 billion in the same period of 2024. The performance was driven by strong contributions from its key segments, with the Sportsbook division contributing $2.26 billion and the iGaming segment generating $1.77 billion. Additional revenue of $152 million came from other business lines, underscoring the company’s diversified earnings base.

Earnings/Net Income

Flutter’s earnings per share declined significantly to $0.59 in 2025 Q2, representing a 59.9% drop from $1.47 in the prior-year period. Net income also fell to $37 million, down 87.5% from $297 million. Despite the decline in EPS, the company reported a record net income for the fiscal Q2, marking the highest level in three years.
