• The company reaffirmed its 2026 guidance of $810–820M revenue and $180–190M Adjusted EBITDA and said the Legend acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive, with a pro‑forma annualized target of ~$1.1B revenue and $320–330M Adjusted EBITDA (~30% margin, ~50% FCF conversion).
• Management positioned Legend as a technology‑first audience monetization platform (claimed ~118M users) that generates high‑LTV customers and outlined four near‑term revenue synergies—cross‑sell, audience monetization, scaling to leagues/teams, and distribution of Genius products—which could materially expand addressable market (≈+70% into iCasino).
• Free cash flow declined in 2025 partly due to roughly $30M of non‑recurring litigation/M&A costs, the media segment will shift some arrangements from gross to net reporting (reducing reported top‑line growth though improving margins), and the Legend deal remains subject to regulatory approval.
