For the first half of 2026, revenue was $118.0 million (down 16% year-over-year) and total Adjusted EBITDA was $50.7 million (up 8%), with a 43% margin. The company repaid $10.0 million of debt and repurchased $2.6 million of stock in Q2, bringing year-to-date repayments to $23.3 million and buybacks to $5.2 million.

The Inspired Entertainment second-quarter release reports a four-year contract extension with Paddy Power, under which Inspired remains the exclusive provider of gaming terminals and content, extending a defined commercial commitment rather than merely describing a sales opportunity.

NEW YORK, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (“Inspired” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: INSE), a leading B2B provider of gaming content, technology, hardware and services, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Reported results reflect the divestiture of our UK holiday parks business and the restructuring of our pubs business, both of which contributed to the prior-year period.

“Our second quarter results provide clear evidence that our transformation is translating into expanding margins and continued earnings growth, while building a stronger, more cash-generative business with lower leverage,” said Brooks Pierce, President and CEO of Inspired Entertainment. “We delivered sequential quarterly growth in both Revenue (+6%) and Adjusted EBITDA (+14%) and achieved a Company-record 45% Adjusted EBITDA margin2. Portfolio optimization initiatives, including the divestiture of our UK holiday parks business and the restructuring of our pubs business, reduced Revenue by approximately 30% year-over-year. Excluding the impact of these initiatives, we delivered like-for-like year-over-year revenue growth3, and more importantly, the quality of our earnings strengthened and contributed to our record margin performance.

“We continue to see strong performance across the business. We have demonstrated resilience in the face of the UK remote gaming duty increase that took effect on April 1, with continued market share gains and strong operating outperformance in line with what we had originally anticipated. Our Retail Solutions business continues to perform well, with strong terminal performance in the UK and Greece and further opportunities to refresh our installed base in Greece next year. Virtual Sports has stabilized, and we launched the first of many customers from our SaaS agreement with Playtech, enabling Inspired’s Virtuals to be delivered across Playtech’s established global operator network. With a growing pipeline of new customers and geographies, a strong product roadmap and a new content studio coming online in the fourth quarter, we expect momentum to build through the second half of the year and into 2027.

“Alongside higher margins and sequential Adjusted EBITDA growth, we remain focused on driving cash generation and reducing leverage. Year to date, we have repaid over $23 million of debt, including $10 million in the second quarter, and repurchased more than 700,000 shares. We have strong visibility into the remainder of the year, with multiple drivers supporting continued momentum. The combination of resilient underlying demand, strong execution, expanding margins, disciplined capital allocation and a steadily improving balance sheet gives us confidence in delivering our 2026 targets and positioning the Company for continued growth and value creation in 2027.”

“Our long-term thesis remains intact and we continue to see the benefits of the strategic actions we have taken to build a higher-margin, more cash-generative business,” said Lorne Weil, Executive Chairman of Inspired Entertainment. “We are gaining share, expanding profitability and reducing leverage, while maintaining the financial flexibility to deploy capital toward the highest-return opportunities, including debt reduction and share repurchases.

“We remain well positioned for the remainder of 2026 and maintain our full-year Adjusted EBITDA target, while updating our Free Cash Flow conversion outlook to 20% or above, reflecting increased visibility into our full-year performance. As we look toward 2027, we see a business with multiple avenues for sustainable growth, significant opportunities to improve operating performance and a clear path to further deleveraging. We believe the Company’s continued execution will create meaningful long-term value for shareholders.”

Recent Highlights

  • Repayment of $10.0 million (£7.5 million) of debt principal in the second quarter with $23.3 million (£17.5 million) repaid year to date.
  • Repurchase of 319,995 shares of our common stock in the second quarter for $2.6 million, with 707,225 shares repurchased year to date for $5.2 million.
  • Live on day one with both Interactive and Virtual Sports in the newly regulated Alberta gaming market, with customers including FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Rush Street Interactive, Caesars Entertainment, and bet365 (3Q 2026).
  • Four-year contract extension with Paddy Power, with Inspired as the exclusive provider of gaming terminals and content (2Q 2026).
  • Three-year contract extension with Mecca Bingo for providing service, maintenance and logistics services to gaming machines installed at ‘Mecca’ bingo halls and AGCs in the UK (2Q 2026).
  • Malta Lottery launched with several Virtual Sports channels via Streamed to Venue solution, which is live in over 160 venues in Malta and Gozo.

Outlook

  • Management remains confident in its strategic direction and ability to deliver profitable growth in 2026. The continued expansion of the higher-margin digital businesses and increasing operating leverage support improved earnings quality and stronger free cash flow generation, driving long-term shareholder value.
  • Management reaffirms full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA target range of $112 million to $118 million2. This incorporates the expected impact of the UK remote gaming duty changes that became effective April 1, 2026.
  • Post-divestiture of the UK holiday parks business, we expect earnings to be less seasonal on a comparable basis, with Adjusted EBITDA expected to grow sequentially throughout the year.
  • The Company is updating its 2026 Free Cash Flow conversion outlook to 20%+, compared with its prior expectation of 20% to 25%, reflecting increased visibility into full-year cash generation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. We use these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis. We believe that these measures are also commonly used in our industry to measure performance. For these reasons, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide expanded insight into our business, in addition to standard U.S. GAAP financial measures. There are no uniform rules for defining and using non-GAAP financial measures, and as a result the measures we use may not be comparable to measures used by other companies, even if they have similar labels. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financial statements.

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustments (see Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table). Such additional excluded amounts include stock-based compensation U.S. GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in the value of earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension plans. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and acquisition costs, (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business and (4) the costs of the restatement of previously issued financial statements.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure, because it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating results and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss, because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities). Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which affect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately by management.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) excluding the effects of certain exclusions and adjustments. Such excluded amounts include income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension plans. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business. These items have been adjusted to reflect the tax impact from excluding them from net income (loss).

Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is computed by dividing the Adjusted Net Income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effects of any potentially dilutive securities, including RSUs, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method, unless the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Functional Currency at Constant rate. Currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP:USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior year quarter, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior year quarter average GBP: USD rate, as a proxy for functional currency at constant rate movement.

Currency Movement represents the difference between the results in our reporting currency (USD) and the results on a functional currency at constant rate basis.

Reconciliations from net income (loss), as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, to Adjusted EBITDA are shown below.
