DTC platforms revenue of $250.1 million increased 19.5% sequentially and 43.2% year-over-year.
Net loss of $(309.3) million and Adjusted net income of $89.0 million.

"We delivered a strong finish to 2025, driven by continued momentum in our casual portfolio, record DTC contribution, and another outstanding quarter from SuperPlay," said Robert Antokol, Chief Executive Officer. "As we enter 2026, our focus remains on disciplined execution and building a more resilient, diversified business positioned for long-term value creation."

"Our results underscore the strength of our portfolio strategy, highlighted by performance ahead of guidance and record free cash flow for the year," said Craig Abrahams, President and Chief Financial Officer.

¹ We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures.

Updated Capital Allocation Framework

We updated our capital allocation framework to reflect the opportunities ahead and the performance-based nature of the SuperPlay earn-out. To preserve flexibility and prioritize the highest-return uses of capital, we are suspending our quarterly dividend, while keeping buybacks available and continuing to evaluate our capital structure over time.

Financial Outlook

For FY2026, revenue expected to be between $2.70 - $2.80 billion and Adjusted EBITDA between $730 - $770 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be $80 million. We expect our effective tax rate to be 30%.

Conference Call

Playtika management will host a conference call at 5:30 a.m. Pacific Time (8:30 a.m. Eastern Time) today to discuss the company's results. The conference call can be accessed via a webcast accessible at investors.playtika.com.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and industry. As a result, it is not possible for our management to assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

our reliance on a limited number of games to generate the majority of our revenue;
our reliance on a small percentage of total users to generate a majority of our revenue;
our free-to-play business model, and the value of virtual items sold in our games, is highly dependent on how we manage the game revenues and pricing models;
our inability to refinance our indebtedness or to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all;
our inability to identify acquisition targets that fit our strategy or complete acquisitions and integrate any acquired businesses successfully or realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions could limit our growth, disrupt our plans and operations or impact the amount of capital allocated to mergers and acquisitions;
our ability to compete in a highly competitive industry with low barriers to entry;
our ability to retain existing players, attract new players and increase the monetization of our player base;
our ability to develop and/or launch new products and content or otherwise execute against our product roadmap strategy;

our reliance on key personnel;
market conditions or other factors affecting the payment of dividends, including the decision whether or not to pay a dividend;
uncertainties regarding the amount and timing of repurchases under our stock repurchase program;

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance, nor as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the closest GAAP financial measure. Our Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) impairment charges, (vi) stock-based compensation, (vii) contingent consideration, (viii) acquisition and related expenses, and (ix) certain other items. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as calculated herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry and are not determined in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.
