DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:DKNG) reported fourth-quarter revenue of $1.39 billion, missing analyst estimates of $1.43 billion, according to Benzinga Pro.
The sports betting company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 14 cents per share, beating analyst estimates for a loss of 15 cents per share.
Total revenue was up 13% on a year-over-year basis, driven primarily by continued customer engagement, efficient acquisition of new customers, the expansion of the company’s sportsbook offering into new jurisdictions, higher structural sportsbook hold percentage and the acquisition of Jackpocket.
Monthly unique payers jumped 36% year-over-year to 4.8 million. Average revenue per monthly unique payer totaled $97 in the quarter, down 16% year-over-year. DraftKings ended the period with $788 million in cash and cash equivalents.
“We continued to efficiently acquire and engage customers, expand structural sportsbook hold percentage and optimize promotional reinvestment in fiscal year 2024, while we simultaneously experienced customer-friendly sport outcomes,” said Jason Robins, co-founder and CEO of DraftKings.
“Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, I am excited to further enhance our customer economics through new initiatives such as extending our lead in live betting and advancing cross sell efforts to and from new verticals. Our focus remains on driving sustainable growth in revenue and profitability.”
