DraftKings Reports Fourth Quarter Revenue of $855 Million; Raises 2023 Revenue Guidance Midpoint to $2.95 Billion and Improves 2023 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Midpoint to ($400) Million
Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.
DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) (“DraftKings” or the “Company”) today announced its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 financial results. The Company also posted a letter to shareholders and an earnings presentation on the Investor Relations section of its website at investors.draftkings.com.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights
For the three months ended December 31, 2022, DraftKings reported revenue of $855 million, an increase of 81% compared to $473 million during the same period in 2021 driven primarily by continued customer retention and monetization in existing states, the successful launches of its Sportsbook and iGaming products in additional jurisdictions, and structural sportsbook hold improvement. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2022 both outperformed the commentary previously provided by DraftKings on November 4, 2022.
"I am very pleased with how we concluded 2022, with continued top-line growth and strong focus on expense management,” said Jason Robins, DraftKings’ Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder. “In the fourth quarter, we grew revenue by 81% versus last year and delivered positive Adjusted EBITDA in October and for the quarter when adjusting for our launch costs in Maryland and Ohio. Moving into 2023, we will continue to drive revenue growth and focus on expense management to accelerate our Adjusted EBITDA growth. We have already taken several actions that resulted in an increase to our revenue guidance and significant improvement in our Adjusted EBITDA guidance.”
“We executed very well in the fourth quarter and drove better than expected sportsbook hold due primarily to our investments in product innovation,” added Jason Park, DraftKings’ Chief Financial Officer. “We are also seeing strong customer retention and improved monetization as promotional intensity declines in our more mature states. We are increasing the midpoint of our fiscal year 2023 revenue guidance to $2.95 billion from $2.9 billion and improving the midpoint of our fiscal year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance from ($525) million to ($400) million. Our fiscal year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance reflects a meaningful slowdown in the growth rate of our fixed costs as we continue to capture efficiency opportunities and optimize our organizational productivity.”
Continued Healthy Growth in Player Retention, Acquisition, and Engagement
Monthly Unique Payers (“MUPs”) increased to 2.6 million average monthly unique paying customers in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 31% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase reflects strong unique payer retention and acquisition across DraftKings’ Sportsbook and iGaming products as well as the expansion of its Sportsbook and iGaming products into new jurisdictions.
Average Revenue per MUP (“ARPMUP”) was $109 in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a 42% increase compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily due to improvement in the Company’s structural sportsbook hold rate and a continued mix shift into DraftKings’ Sportsbook and iGaming products.
Detailed financial data and other information is available in the financial statements set forth below under the caption “Financial Results.”
Raising 2023 Revenue Guidance and Significantly Improving 2023 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance
DraftKings is raising its fiscal year 2023 revenue guidance to a range of $2.85 billion to $3.05 billion from the range of $2.8 billion to $3.0 billion, which was previously announced on November 4, 2022. The Company’s updated 2023 revenue guidance range equates to year-over-year growth of 27% to 36%.
DraftKings is also significantly improving its fiscal year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance. The Company now expects fiscal year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of between ($350) million and ($450) million compared to its prior fiscal year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of between ($475) million and ($575) million, which was previously announced on November 4, 2022.
The Company’s revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for fiscal year 2023 includes all the existing jurisdictions in which it is live plus jurisdictions in which it expects to launch during the guided period, including Massachusetts and Puerto Rico.
Expanded Mobile Sports Betting Footprint
DraftKings is live with mobile sports betting in 20 states that collectively represent approximately 42% of the U.S. population following the launch of its online Sportsbook product in Maryland on November 23, 2022 and in Ohio on January 1, 2023.
DraftKings is also live with iGaming in 5 states, representing approximately 11% of the U.S. population.
DraftKings is live with its Sportsbook and iGaming products in Ontario, Canada, which launched on May 18, 2022. Ontario represents approximately 40% of Canada’s population.
Massachusetts and Puerto Rico have authorized mobile sports betting and collectively represent approximately 3% of the U.S. population. DraftKings expects to launch its Sportsbook product in these jurisdictions pending licensure and regulatory approvals. Notably, DraftKings was selected for a mobile sports wagering license and found preliminarily suitable in Massachusetts.
In 2023, 10 states that collectively represent approximately 19% of the U.S. population have either introduced legislation to legalize mobile sports betting or introduced bills that may result in sports wagering referendums during an upcoming election. In addition, 5 states that collectively represent approximately 14% of the U.S. population have either introduced legislation to legalize iGaming or introduced a bill that may result in an iGaming referendum during an upcoming election.

As previously announced, DraftKings will host a conference call and audio webcast tomorrow, Friday, February 17, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. EDT, during which management will discuss the Company’s results for the quarter and provide commentary on business performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that DraftKings uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating its operating performance, similar to measures reported by its publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure, and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.
DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before the impact of interest income or expense (net), income tax provision or benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, litigation, settlement and related costs, advocacy and other related legal expenses, gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities, and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below.
DraftKings includes non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses that are required in accordance with U.S. GAAP because they are non-recurring items (for example, in the case of transaction-related costs and advocacy and other related legal expenses), non-cash expenditures (for example, in the case of depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation), or non-operating items which are not related to the Company’s underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest income and expense and litigation, settlement and related costs).
The unaudited table below presents the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to its net loss, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods indicated:

__________________
(1) The amounts include the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $30.0 million and $20.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $106.1 million and $80.1 million for the years ended 2022 and 2021, respectively.
(2) Reflects stock-based compensation expenses resulting from the issuance of awards under incentive plans.
(3) Includes capital markets advisory, consulting, accounting and legal expenses related to evaluation, negotiation and integration costs incurred in connection with pending or completed transactions and offerings. For the three months and the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, these costs include, among other things, expenses incurred in connection with the GNOG Transaction.
(4) Primarily includes external legal costs related to litigation and litigation settlement costs deemed unrelated to DraftKings’ core business operations.
(5) Includes certain non-recurring and non-ordinary course costs relating to advocacy efforts and other legal expenses in jurisdictions where DraftKings does not operate certain product offerings and is actively seeking licensure, or similar approval, for those product offerings. For the year ended December 31, 2022, those costs primarily related to the Company’s support of Proposition 27 in California. For the year ended December 31, 2021, those costs primarily related to DraftKings’ support of Proposition 27 in California and the Company’s support of the sports betting ballot initiative in Florida. The amounts presented exclude (i) costs relating to advocacy efforts and other legal expenses in jurisdictions where DraftKings does not operate that are incurred in the ordinary course of business and (ii) costs relating to advocacy efforts and other legal expenses incurred in jurisdictions where related legislation has been passed and DraftKings currently operates.
(6) Primarily includes the change in fair value of certain financial assets, as well as the Company’s equity method share of investee’s losses and other costs relating to non-recurring and non-operating items.
Information reconciling forward-looking fiscal year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), is unavailable to DraftKings without unreasonable effort due to, among other things, certain items required for such reconciliations being outside of DraftKings’ control and/or not being able to be reasonably predicted. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. DraftKings provides a range for its Adjusted EBITDA forecast that it believes will be achieved; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it can predict all of the components of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation. DraftKings provides an Adjusted EBITDA forecast because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with DraftKings’ results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities or as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity.
