Brightstar Lottery (NYSE: BRSL) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $584 million, down 7% year over year, as 1.5% global same-store sales growth and Italy B2C digital gains were offset by higher Italy Lotto service revenue amortization, U.K. contract transition, and lower product sales. Income from continuing operations was $56 million versus a $60 million loss a year ago, and Adjusted EBITDA rose 4% to $286 million with a 48.9% margin, helped by OPtiMa cost efficiencies.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.34 billion, primarily reflecting the final €1.43 billion ($1.67 billion) Italy Lotto license payment made in April.
