Inspired 2025 Q2 Earnings Significant Net Loss Amid Revenue Growth

Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSE) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 6, 2025. The company posted a year-over-year revenue increase but swung to a net loss, underperforming against earnings expectations. Despite segment-level growth, particularly in Interactive and Gaming, Inspired did not issue forward-looking guidance and emphasized operational discipline and long-term strategic positioning.

Inspired’s total revenue rose 7.4% to $80.30 million in Q2 2025, up from $74.80 million in the same period of 2024. Gaming revenue amounted to $27.20 million, supported by strong performance in Virtual Sports and Interactive segments, which generated $9.20 million and $13.60 million, respectively. The Service segment, which appeared in multiple categories, collectively contributed $21.30 million in revenue. Product sales totaled $6.50 million, with Gaming reporting $5.90 million and Leisure contributing $600,000. The Leisure segment overall generated $30.30 million in revenue, with Service and Product components adding $29.70 million and $600,000, respectively. Corporate Functions reported no revenue, bringing the total to $80.30 million.

The company reported a net loss of $7.80 million, or $0.27 per share, a 657.1% decline from net income of $1.40 million, or $0.05 per share, in Q2 2024. The earnings per share figure reflects a 640.0% negative change, underscoring the severity of the performance deterioration.

Inspired’s stock experienced a negative price trend post-earnings. During the latest trading day, shares fell 3.16%, dropped 10.10% for the week, and declined 1.66% month-to-date. The historical post-earnings strategy of buying shares following a revenue increase and holding for 30 days showed no return over the past three years, with a CAGR of 0.00% and excess return of -49.40%. This underperformed the benchmark return of 49.40%. The strategy exhibited minimal volatility (0.00%) and maximum drawdown (0.00%), suggesting a low-risk, yet ineffective, investment approach in capitalizing on earnings beats.

Lorne Weil, Executive Chairman, highlighted robust performance across all business segments, with Interactive revenue and Adjusted EBITDA rising 45% and 49% year-over-year, respectively, driven by North America and the UK. The Gaming segment achieved a 35% increase in Adjusted EBITDA, aided by Vantage cabinet deployments and cost efficiencies. Early traction in Hybrid Dealer and Virtual Sports, especially in new markets, pointed to strong growth potential. Leisure revenue grew 5% year-to-date, with Adjusted EBITDA up 19%. Weil expressed confidence in the company’s disciplined execution, scalable operations, and strategic positioning for long-term shareholder value.

Inspired did not provide explicit forward-looking financial guidance in the release but expressed optimism about maintaining momentum through the remainder of the year. The company cited strong performance across segments, successful product rollouts, and ongoing operational efficiencies as key drivers. Lorne Weil emphasized the potential for Hybrid Dealer and Virtual Sports growth in new markets such as Brazil, Turkey, and North America, as well as the expected benefits from localized content and expanded partnerships.
