On August 8, 2024, Inspired Entertainment Inc (INSE, Financial) released its 8-K filing for the second quarter of 2024. Inspired Entertainment Inc is a gaming technology company based in the United States, specializing in Virtual Sports and Server-Based Gaming systems. The company operates through four segments: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive, and Leisure, with the Gaming segment generating the most revenue.
Performance Overview
Inspired Entertainment Inc reported a second-quarter revenue of $75.6 million, surpassing the analyst estimate of $74.41 million. However, the company's earnings per share (EPS) fell short of expectations, reporting $0.07 compared to the estimated $0.13.
Key Financial Achievements
The Interactive segment was a standout performer, with revenue increasing by 40% year-over-year to $9.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA for this segment also saw a significant rise of 69%, reaching $6.1 million. This growth was primarily driven by the launch of the Hybrid Dealer product with BetMGM in Michigan.
“We delivered solid second quarter 2024 results led by strength in our interactive business and a stable performance in gaming,” said Lorne Weil, Executive Chairman of Inspired.
