DraftKings doesn't give up and keeps growing: Q4 results beat expectations

DraftKings (DKNG.US) shares surged more than 15% on Friday (Feb. 17) after the company posted better-than-expected Q4 financial results and raised its outlook for 2023.

DraftKings reported a loss of 53 cents per share on record revenue of $855 million (80.8% year-over-year growth), while Wall Street was expecting a loss of 59 cents per share on revenue of $800 million.

 

On a GAAP basis, the operating loss was down 37% from a year ago, and was only 27% of revenue instead of the previous 77%. CEO and co-founder Jason Robins said the company increased revenue 81% in the fourth quarter from a year ago and delivered positive adjusted EBITDA in both October and for the quarter. The company will focus on cost management to accelerate growth in adjusted EBITDA, and will continue to grow revenue through 2023.

 

The company raised its full-year revenue estimate to $2.85-3.05 billion, which is midpoint in line with consensus as more states legalize sports betting. Also, fresh data coming out of the Super Bowl weekend suggests the gaming industry could see a 30% increase this year.
