Jumbo Interactive is a digital lottery and prize draw company with an ASX listing. The company released its FY26 results on 27 August 2026, and the share price movement on 23 October 2026 has not been linked to that release.

Latest development: FY26 group results (27 August 2026)

Jumbo reported FY26 total transaction value (TTV) of $1,125.8 million, up 13.0%, and Revenue of $193.6 million, up 33.2%. Underlying EBITDA was $85.2 million, up 24.8%, with an underlying EBITDA Margin of 43.2%, compared with 47.0%. Underlying NPAT was $41.4 million, up 3.7%, and underlying NPATA was $50.6 million, up 19.5%. Underlying Earnings Per Share (EPSA) were 80.2 cents, up 18.6%.

The final fully Franked Dividend was 15.0 cents per share, taking the full-year dividend to 27.0 cents, compared with 54.5 cents in FY25. The company said this represents a Payout Ratio of 49.5% under its revised 30% to 50% range, adopted following the Dream UK and Dream US acquisitions and increased debt. The on-market buyback will continue on a disciplined and opportunistic basis.

Latest development: Australia, Managed Services and Dream Giveaways

In Australia, lottery Retailing TTV fell 8.2% and revenue fell 4.2%, with the company citing a lower number of large Powerball and Oz Lotto jackpots, 23 compared with 31 a year earlier. SaaS TTV rose 15.1%. Australia underlying EBITDA was $55.0 million, down 10.1%, with a margin of 47.7%.

Managed Services underlying EBITDA rose 18.1% to $8.4 million. The Dream Giveaways segment, which includes Dream Car Giveaways in the UK and Dream Giveaway in the US, acquired in October 2025, contributed $21.8 million of underlying EBITDA. Dream US performance was ahead of expectations, while Dream UK was modestly lower than expected.

Latest development: Brightstar update and FY27 outlook

Jumbo said it and Brightstar Lottery had been unable to agree final commercial terms for the player account management component of the Lotterywest subcontractor arrangement, which the board views as having an immaterial impact on future EBITDA. Negotiations on the digital component remain ongoing and subject to board approval. For FY27, Jumbo expects an Australian underlying EBITDA margin of 46% to 50% and international underlying EBITDA of $36 million to $40 million, compared with $30.3 million in FY26.

Risks and catalysts on watch
