Revenue Growth and EBITDA Expansion Reflect Operational Shift

For the third quarter of FY26, BetMakers reported Revenue of AUD 23.4 million, representing a 12.6% increase compared to AUD 20.8 million in Q3 FY25. This growth occurred despite only a partial contribution from certain recently commenced partnerships during the period.

Alongside Revenue growth, the company reported a notable improvement in Earnings. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached AUD 3.4 million, compared to AUD 1.2 million in the prior corresponding period, marking an increase of AUD 2.2 million or 186%. This uplift reflects the impact of changes implemented across the cost base and operational structure.

The improvement in Earnings was also reflected in margins. Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanded to 14.7% in Q3 FY26, compared to 5.8% in Q3 FY25. Gross Margin for the quarter stood at 67.0%, aligning with the company’s longer-term objective of reaching approximately 70%.

Management attributed these outcomes to a combination of a more favourable Revenue mix, adjustments to international content agreements, and cost restructuring measures implemented across the Business.

Operating Leverage and Cost Reset Become Evident

The Q3 FY26 performance highlights the effect of Operating Leverage within the Business. Following a period of cost restructuring and repositioning, the company indicated that incremental Revenue is now translating more directly into Earnings.

The quarter’s results were achieved during a period that included both ongoing commercial activity and the early-stage contribution from new initiatives. This included the commencement of operations under the Crown Partnership in February 2026, as well as an initial contribution from the Las Vegas Dissemination Company (LVDC), which was acquired on 1 February 2026.

The reported EBITDA growth occurred ahead of the full financial contribution from these developments, indicating that a portion of the Earnings uplift is linked to structural changes rather than solely new Revenue streams.

Commercial Developments and Product Demand

During the quarter, BetMakers progressed several commercial initiatives. The deployment of its platform for Crown was completed on an accelerated timeline, with operations going live in February 2026. While the Q3 FY26 results include an initial contribution from this Partnership, the company expects a full-quarter contribution to be reflected in Q4 FY26.

In addition, the company reported continued Demand for its Apollo wagering technology. Digital product offerings contributed to overall performance, supported by a pipeline of customers that remains active. This pipeline is expected to support further Revenue generation across the remainder of FY26 and into FY27.

The company also indicated that it is prioritising new deployments as part of its broader commercial strategy, focusing on converting its pipeline into active contracts while maintaining operational efficiency.

LVDC Acquisition and US Market Positioning

A key development during the quarter was the Acquisition and integration of the Las Vegas Dissemination Company. Completed on 1 February 2026, the Acquisition provides BetMakers with a regulatory presence in Nevada.

This presence is intended to support the deployment of digital wagering technology to casino operators within Nevada and potentially across other US jurisdictions. Integration of LVDC into the company’s North American operations is progressing in line with expectations.

The company views LVDC as a component of its broader US strategy, enabling access to regulated markets and supporting the expansion of its digital wagering solutions.

Cash Flow, Liquidity and Financial Position

BetMakers reported that it remained well-capitalised at the end of the quarter, with AUD 14.8 million in unrestricted cash. The company also generated positive Cash Flow from Operating Activities during the period.

According to the quarterly Cash Flow statement, net cash from Operating Activities for Q3 FY26 was AUD 2.8 million. Receipts from customers totalled AUD 22.6 million during the quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period were reported at AUD 35.7 million, compared to AUD 30.1 million at the beginning of the quarter. The company indicated that this position was supported by ongoing Capital discipline and reductions in staff and overhead costs relative to prior periods.

The report also noted that payments to directors during the quarter amounted to AUD 135,000, relating to services including those provided by the Executive Chairman.

Strategic Priorities and Near-Term Focus

Looking ahead, the company outlined a set of priorities for the remainder of FY26. These include the execution of its technology roadmap, continued rollout of contracted customers, and further integration and optimisation of LVDC Assets.

The company also highlighted the presence of multiple near-term catalysts heading into Q4 FY26, including expanded deployment of its Apollo platform and further commercialisation opportunities within its pipeline.

Management indicated that efforts remain focused on converting qualified prospects into active Revenue streams while ensuring that the expanded Revenue base continues to demonstrate Operating Leverage.

Additionally, the company continues to pursue digital opportunities both in Australia and internationally, with a structured pipeline of prospects under development.

What This Means for Investors?

The Q3 FY26 update from BetMakers reflects a period of Revenue growth alongside a more pronounced improvement in Earnings and margins. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and expansion in margins suggests that changes to the company’s cost structure and operating model are contributing to improved financial outcomes.

The timing of the share price increase aligns with the release of these results, particularly given the scale of EBITDA growth and Margin expansion relative to the prior period.

At the same time, several initiatives—including the Crown Partnership and LVDC Acquisition—are yet to contribute fully across a complete quarter, which may influence how investors assess upcoming performance in Q4 FY26.

With a stable cash position, ongoing pipeline activity, and continued focus on execution, the company’s near-term performance will likely be assessed in the context of how these initiatives translate into sustained Revenue and Earnings progression.
