Further Adjusted EBITDA and Further Adjusted EBITDA margin on a Group and segment basis, Group Adjusted EBITDA and Group Adjusted EBITDA margin are all non-GAAP financial measures. See the ‘Quarterly Non-GAAP Recs’ section of this pack for reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

From January 1, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA will exclude the cost of share-based compensation expense and the term Further Adjusted EBITDA will become redundant. This change is not reflected in fiscal year 2023 reporting, it will be effective for Q1 2024 reporting. We have however included a reconciliation of the segment cost of sales and operating expenses including share-based compensation expense to the segment operating expense excluding share based payments in this pack.

Further Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding share-based compensation expense to reflect comparable numbers for the change taking effect from 1 January 2024. From 1 January 2024 Adjusted EBITDA will exclude the cost of share-based compensation expense. We believe that this presentation is common practice in our industry and improves comparability of our results with those of our peers.

From 1 January 2024, the Group will move PokerStars US to be reported in the International division reflecting how the business is now managed. This change is not be reflected in fiscal year 2023 reporting and is therefore not reflected in the historic comparative information provided in this pack. This will be effective for Q1 2024 reporting, at which point historic comparatives will be recast. As such, please refer to the ‘2024 Policy Changes’ section in this pack where a summary of PokerStars US historical financial information is provided enabling adjustments to be made after fiscal year 2023 reporting, but ahead of Q1 2024 reporting. To make these adjustments the PokerStars US numbers provided must be added to the International segment and subtracted from the US segment numbers.

Segment Further Adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment Adjusted EBITDA which is our segment measure of profit or loss excluding share-based compensation. Segment Further Adjusted EBITDA Margin is segment Adjusted Further Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. From January 1, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA will exclude the cost of share-based compensation. We believe that this presentation is common practice in our industry and improves comparability of our results with those of our peers

Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Further Adjusted EBITDA Margin are Adjusted EBITDA and Further Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, respectively.

Adjusted net profit attributable to Flutter shareholders is net profit/(loss) as adjusted for after tax effects of transaction fees and associated costs; restructuring and integration costs; legal settlements (loss contingencies), gaming taxes, disputes, amortization of acquired intangibles, accelerate amortization, loss/(gain) on settlement of long-term debt, financing related fees not eligible for capitalization, gain from disposal of businesses and share-based compensation.

Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to Flutter shareholders by the number of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding in the period.

Net debt is defined as total debt, excluding premiums, discounts, and deferred financing expenses, and the effect of foreign exchange that is economically hedged as a result of our cross-currency interest rate swaps reflecting the net cash outflow on maturity less cash and cash equivalents.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities related to player deposits, investment and player deposit liabilities, cash paid for transaction fees and associated cost, restructuring fees and integration cost, legal settlement/loss contingencies less payments for property and equipment, intangible assets and capitalized software. We believe that excluding these items from adjusted free cash flow better portrays our ability to generate cash, as such items are not indicative of our operating performance for the period.

Usefulness of non-GAAP financial measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Further Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Further Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted net profit attributable to Flutter shareholders, Segment Further Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP measures and should not be viewed as measures of overall operating performance, indicators of our performance, considered in isolation, or construed as alternatives to operating profit/(loss), net profit/(loss) measures or earnings per share, or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as measures of liquidity, or as alternatives to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Management has historically used these measures when evaluating operating performance because we believe that they provide additional perspective on the financial performance of our core business

We believe net debt is a meaningful financial measure that may assist investors in understanding our financial condition and recognizing underlying trends in our capital structure.

Adjusted free cash flow may be useful to investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental measure of our cash performance, but should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to operating cash flows presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Our calculation of adjusted free cash flow may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
