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 first quarter 2025 unaudited consolidated financial results.

Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer of Super Group, commented: “We started 2025 on a high note, delivering a strong first quarter with impressive revenue growth, a surge in customer acquisition, and effective retention strategies. The Group's combined revenue reached a record $517 million for a first quarter, representing a 25% year-over-year increase, fueled by outstanding sports betting margins and consistent casino margins, as well as our ongoing efforts to optimize return on investment across all markets.”

Alinda van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer of Super Group, stated: “Along with record first-quarter revenue growth, Group Adjusted EBITDA increased by 120% to $111 million. Total Revenue ex-U.S. grew 24% to $502 million, with Adjusted EBITDA ex-U.S. growing 62% to $121 million, keeping us on track to deliver on our annual guidance. Our Balance Sheet remains strong with unrestricted cash of $351 million, despite increasing the minimum dividend target and paying $95.7 million, representing the 2024-year end and 2025 first quarter dividend. This brings the total dividends paid to $145.8 million over the last 12 months."

Financial Highlights:

• Revenue increased by 25% to $516.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 from $411.9 million in the same period of the prior year, driven by growth from the Africa, Europe and North America (predominantly Canada) markets partially offset by declines from the LATAM, Middle East and Asia-Pacific markets.
• Profit for the period was $59.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $44.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. Profit for the period in the first quarter of 2024 included a gain on disposal of the B2B division of Digital Gaming Corporation Limited ("DGC") of $43.6 million as well as a non-cash charge of $14.3 million related to the increase in fair value of option liability.
• Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased by 120% to $111.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $50.4 million in the first quarter of 2024.
• Monthly Active Customers increased by 14% to 5.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 4.7 million in the first quarter of 2024.
• Cash and cash equivalents was $351.0 million as of March 31, 2025 compared to $388.0 million at December 31, 2024.
• Dividends of $95.7 million paid during the quarter, consisting of year-end 2024 dividend of $75.5 million and a dividend declared in the first quarter of 2025 of $20.2 million.

Guidance 2025

Super Group combined guidance remains unchanged at greater than $2.014 billion (€1.915 billion) in revenue and greater than $421 million (€400 million) Adjusted EBITDA. Euros converted to USD at Q1 2025 average rate of 1.052 USD to EUR.

Change in presentation currency

The Group has adopted a change in presentation currency from Euros to USD effective as January 1, 2025. Accordingly, the comparatives have been re-presented retrospectively as if the new presentation currency had always been the presentation currency. Assets and liabilities previously reported in Euros have been converted to USD as at December 31, 2024, using the period end foreign exchange rates of the underlying functional currency of the respective subsidiaries within the Group. Items within the statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income previously reported in Euros have been converted to USD from the functional currency of the respective subsidiaries within the Group using the average monthly foreign exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Historic equity transactions were converted at the average monthly foreign exchange rates at the date of the transactions and were subsequently carried at the historic value.

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.

The Company will host a webcast at 7:45 a.m. ET tomorrow to discuss the first quarter 2025 financial results. Participants may access the live webcast and supplemental earnings presentation on the events & presentations page of the Super Group Investor Relations website at: https://investors.sghc.com/events-and-presentations/default.aspx.
