Exhibit 99.1
Genius Sports Enters into Definitive Agreement to Acquire Legend, Creating a Digital Sports and Gaming Media Powerhouse
| • | Legend provides a scaled media platform, with world-class marketing technology powering owned and operated digital properties as well as syndication of sports and betting content |
| • | The acquisition will provide Genius Sports with a unique structural position as the only company operating two synergistic businesses across official sports data and media and advertising |
| • | Combination will unlock greater scale, stronger margins, and higher cash conversion than previously communicated at Investor Day |
NEW YORK & LONDON, February 5, 2026 – Genius Sports Limited (NYSE: GENI) (“Genius Sports”) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement (“Agreement”) to acquire Legend, a global, digital sports and gaming media network built to monetize attention, in a transaction valued at up to $1.2 billion, including $900 million payable at closing and an earnout of up to $300 million.
For Genius Sports, the transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to Group Adjusted EBITDA margins and Free Cash Flow conversion while maintaining at least 20% Group Revenue CAGR through 2028. On a 2026 annualized pro forma basis; after giving effect to the acquisition, the combination is expected to position us to achieve approximately $1.1 billion in Group Revenue, $320-330 million in Group Adjusted EBITDA with approximately 50% Free Cash Flow conversion.
Legend monetizes sports audiences through a scaled media network, with world-class marketing technology powering owned and operated digital properties. It also syndicates sports and betting content across major publications, such as Sports Illustrated and Yahoo Sports.
When sports fans are actively researching teams, players, odds, or scores, Legend’s technology helps connect those fans with relevant sportsbooks, gaming products, and advertisers in the moments they are most likely to act.
In 2025, Legend generated 320 million annual visits from 118 million unique visitors, with more than two-thirds returning on a regular basis. This acquisition will bring a large, highly engaged sports and gaming audience into Genius Sports’ media ecosystem along with predictable revenue.
Through FANHub, the world’s first sports fan activation platform, Genius Sports will connect this global audience and marketing technology with its full range of over 2,000 combined sports, media and betting partners via one integrated platform.
“This deal accelerates our strategic and financial objectives, supercharges fan monetization, and builds a fully integrated sports and gaming media network,” said Mark Locke, CEO of Genius Sports. “For Genius Sports and our global partners, it delivers more data, more audience, more inventory and greater monetization of sports fans. The acquisition of Legend will drive higher margins and stronger free cash flow, positioning Genius Sports to immediately transform the market and grow the size and scale of our business.”
“Joining forces with Genius Sports brings together two world class teams, unlocks unparalleled growth opportunities for our partners and products, and gives us an even stronger platform to scale,” said Nick Kisberg, Founder of Legend. “I am immensely proud of what we have built and the decades of hard work that have brought us here today.”
Preliminary Estimates of 2025 Financial Results and Updated Financial Outlook
Additionally, Genius Sports is reporting its preliminary unaudited estimates of financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, subject to normal year-end adjustments:
| • | Group Revenue of $669 million, reflecting 31% year-on-year growth |
| • | Group Adjusted EBITDA of $136 million, reflecting 59% year-on-year growth |
| • | Group Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20% |
| • | Cash and cash equivalents of $281 million |
Genius Sports also expects it would generate Group Revenue of approximately $810-820 million, and Group Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $180-190 million in 2026 on a standalone basis. At the midpoint, this represents Group Revenue and Group Adjusted EBITDA growth of 22% and 36%, respectively, and a Group Adjusted EBITDA margin of 23%.
The acquisition and integration of Legend will also set a higher performance benchmark for 2028, reflecting the expanded scale of Genius Sports’ media and advertising platform and accelerated monetization across its global inventory:
| • | Group Revenue of $1.6 billion, representing approximately 21% CAGR from 2026 to 2028 |
| • | Group Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 35% |
| • | Free Cash Flow conversion of at least 60% |
Transaction Details
The upfront consideration represents $900 million at close, comprising $800 million in cash and $100 million in stock consideration, with an additional earnout of up to $300 million split evenly across two years post-closing. The earnout is tied to the achievement of certain profitability and cash flow thresholds and is payable in cash or stock, at Genius’ election, subject to customary conditions.
At closing, Genius Sports expects to fund the acquisition with a $850 million Term Loan B issuance, with its revolving credit facility remaining undrawn. Pro forma leverage is expected to be below 3.0x, and the company expects to rapidly delever by more than half by 2028, driven by our strong and visible growth trajectory. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Preliminary Financial Information
The unaudited financial information presented in this press release is preliminary and may change as a result of, among other factors, Genius Sports’ financial closing procedures and as a result, Genius Sports’ final results may vary materially from the preliminary results included in this press release. The preliminary financial information included in this press release reflects Genius Sports’ current estimates based on information available as of the date of this press release and has been prepared by company management. This preliminary information should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for any future periods. This preliminary information could be impacted by the effects of financial closing procedures, final adjustments, and other developments.
Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow
We present Group adjusted EBITDA, Group adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow, and Free Cash Flow Conversion, non-GAAP performance measures, to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Group Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization and other items that are unusual or not related to Genius’ revenue-generating operations, including but not limited to stock-based compensation expense (including related employer payroll taxes), litigation and related costs, transaction expenses and gain or loss on foreign currency. Group adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Group adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Group Revenue. Free Cash Flow is defined as Group adjusted EBITDA less Capitalization of internally developed software costs, purchases of property and equipment, changes in net working capital, and taxes. Free Cash Flow conversion is defined as Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Group adjusted EBITDA.
Group Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are used by management to evaluate Genius’ core operating performance on a comparable basis and to make strategic decisions. Genius believes these measures are useful to investors for the same reasons as well as in evaluating Genius’ operating performance against competitors, which commonly disclose similar performance measures. However, Genius’ calculation of Group Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled performance measures of other companies. These measures are not intended to be a substitute for any US GAAP financial measure.
We do not provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. These items are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events. The impact of these items could be significant to our projections.
